Products & Services
Named for the picturesque and historic mining town of Durango, Colorado, our restaurant and its decor reflect the glory days of gold and silver mining in the old West. Durango Steakhouse features fresh USDA top choice grain-fed Midwestern beef. Our oak fire grill burns hot, searing the meat and sealing in the natural juices and flavor. The nutty, invigorating aroma of oak permeates every corner and makes Durango Steakhouse a standout. Oak-fire grilling has a long history in the old West. It was reserved for special occasions since an oak fire takes longer to get going and grilling cannot be rushed. Few restaurants go to the trouble of grilling over an oak fire, but when you taste what it does for Durango Steaks, ribs, seafood, chicken and pork, you'll understand why we do it.
Training & Support
We will assist you in the site selection process and must approve any site to be considered
before proceeding with construction. Upon closing on your approved site selection or the
signing of your lease, you will be required to pay the franchise fee for that unit. Get approval on
your plans from Durango USA and any local or state authorities necessary and begin
construction.
You and one other person will commence training in our corporate training facility. You will be provided with all the training needed to operate your units. This training process is included in your franchise fees and is provided at no additional cost, other than meals, lodging and transportation.
Our corporate opening team will be with you through every step of opening your units. In addition to the opening support, our corporate personnel will make several visits to your location every year in order to assist you in quality control and ensure that your restaurants are running smoothly.
