River Sports Grill - Pagosa Springs

Delicious burgers and straightforward drinks. A great local spot that delivers quality. The wings are meaty and definitely worth trying.

I had a fantastic meal by the river! The food was wonderful, and everything was freshly prepared. The staff was great, always friendly and attentive. They have a nice selection of cold beers and a variety of your favorite cocktails. It’s a fantastic place to relax and enjoy. I highly recommend coming down and experiencing it for yourself!

My name is Becky Lynn Shenefield, and I have claimed ownership of this business twice. I have not signed anything related to Manna Soup Kitchen or Goodwill, nor to Espree Prier or Estee. This business represents my investments and inheritances. I believe that some individuals in this area want to see me impoverished and homeless due to their greed, as they think they can take what belongs to me and my family. There has been no DNA or fingerprint verification conducted with me, my family, or those involved in this situation.

I absolutely loved the super crunchy onion rings, and the fries were perfectly crispy, not soggy at all. Our server was incredibly attentive, and the view from the deck next to the river is just breathtaking. I ordered the New Mexico burger smothered in green chile—forget the bun because that green chile was just amazing! It had a bit of a kick, but the nice cold beer definitely helped with that. Yes, the beer was nice and cold too! My daughter got the fish and chicken strip basket, and both were nice and crunchy with plenty of flavor—definitely not soggy! We’ve visited Pagosa and Durango many times, but we had never stopped here before. Let me tell you, this place will definitely be a regular stop for us in the future. We loved it!

This restaurant is a favorite among many locals, including myself! As an introvert, I really appreciate the calm and laid-back atmosphere they provide. While there are other restaurants in Pagosa that serve delicious food and have a nice vibe, they often come with long waits and throngs of tourists. Here, there's always a table available, friendly service, and excellent bar food. In the summer, you can enjoy the lovely outdoor patio by the river, which sometimes features live acoustic music. They also have several TVs, making it easy to catch a football game while savoring their incredible green chili dishes — in my opinion, it's the best in town! I’ve even hosted a couple of events here, and Dave is a fantastic host who makes us feel welcome. It’s a relaxed and cozy spot, and it’s definitely my favorite place!
