Highway 3 Roadhouse & Oyster Bar

The Highway 3 Roadhouse (Wed – Fri, 4:00–8:00) offers great Cajun & Southern food & drink. While we are considered a local's secret, we do let outsiders in.

From oysters to crawfish to gumbo, it's a little bit of Louisiana in Colorado. Eat, Drink & Have Fun With Us at the Highway 3 Roadhouse & Oyster Bar

The Highway 3 Roadhouse & Oyster Bar is known as a local's hangout after work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday—the only days we're open. When you come and visit, you are sure to experience some of the best Cajun, Creole and Southern food with recipe

s straight from Louisiana. Buried back off Highway 3 in Durango, you have to know that you are looking for us to find us. Why would anyone go to such trouble to get here? Maybe the answer is in some of our reviews. Here's what a reviewer from Arizona posted on TripAdvisor:

"Worth the wait! The food is fresh and wonderful .. service is great, and atmosphere is friendly. Only open 3 days a week, but well worth a dinner here! Oysters are fresh ( try the fried ones ! ), and blackened catfish is awesome. Just love an evening out here and the menu is always changing, so the specials are fresh and fun .. LOVE this place!"

From the foregoing, you know that we have a Cajun / Creole / Southern based menu with oysters and catfish. We bet you will also like our étouffée, softshell crabs and awesome mac & cheese. Be sure to save room at the end for one of our sweets such as the bread puddin' with whisky sauce. Take a look at our menu to see everything but the specials. You can catch those on this page where they are normally posted on Wednesday mornings. We look forward to meeting you!

As they say in New Orleans…Who Dat?

Did you know that Chuck has two daughters? They came down for a few days to get their fill of Cajun food, bear hugs, and to make sure he was behaving! ❤️😂

We were sad to be closed tonight, Friday- 7/17, due to cooler issues, but we spent the day cleaning up the patio.

We will have corn hole available next week! Come grab a drink and spend some time outside with family and friends! 🍻

We are open Wednesday - Friday from 4pm - 8pm.

Did you know that New Orleans Red Beans & Rice were born from West African and Caribbean cultures and by the 1800s, red beans and rice became permanently fixed as the city’s mandatory Monday meal.

We love red beans and rice any day of the week, so come on down and enjoy a hearty and tasty Cajun tradition!
