Number 1: Ramos Cafe (Kaitlin)
Ramos Café is one of those places everyone’s buzzing about—and for good reason. It officially opened just this January, so it’s fresh on the local scene—but already, it’s earned a spot in people’s go-to rotation. This family-run restaurant sits right downtown, and brings a fun mix of Mexican and American food in a casual, friendly setting. The food is always great, the service is always friendly, and you’re guaranteed to be leaving with leftovers (like seriously, you get SOOO much food!).

Their daily specials keep things exciting, and it’s the kind of place where the owners will likely remember your name after a few visits. Locals rave about the homemade flavors that make every dish feel comforting and authentic. It’s quickly becoming one of those restaurants that people suggest to out-of-town visitors because it shows off both the flavor and the hospitality of Douglas.
The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, making it just as comfortable for a casual lunch as it is for a family dinner. The portions are huge, so it’s the type of spot where you’ll probably get two meals out of one order—and nobody’s complaining about that. They’ve also done a great job balancing traditional recipes with American classics, so everyone in your group will find something they love. With its mix of hearty plates, friendly faces, and a downtown location, Ramos Café really feels like it’s here to stay.

It makes The Depot just as great for a Friday night out with friends as it is for a cozy family dinner.
Number 3: The Club (Kaitlin)
If you want dinner with a view that feels a little elevated but totally welcoming—this is your spot. Located right on the Douglas Golf Course, the Club (otherwise known as The 19th Hole) offers a full menu, beautiful views of the course, and even hosts weddings and events in its banquet room. Patrons especially love their burgers, steaks, and seafood—plus, it’s super kid-friendly while still feeling polished. It’s definitely one of the more classier eating experiences in town, but still gives you that small town welcoming atmosphere. (Plus – their salads and sweet potato fries are to die for.)
And The best part is there’s no stuffy dress code, so you can roll in straight off the course in your golf shoes, or bring the family in for dinner without worrying about being “dressed up.” It’s a more relaxed environment than you might expect, which makes it perfect for casual nights out, post-golf meals, or even a laid-back date night. The combination of great food, gorgeous views, and that no-pressure vibe makes it a favorite for locals who want something nice without the fuss. And for big events, the banquet room gives you that same flexibility—elevated but approachable. Their bar is also a big plus, with a wide selection of cocktails, beers, and wines that make it easy to unwind after a round of golf or toast to a special occasion.
Number 4: Four Seasons Chinese (Alisha)
Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant might be a small-town gem, but the flavor is big.

For a more casual, lively vibe, the Derby Club is where it’s at. Part game lounge, part restaurant—it’s not just about the food, but the experience.

La Costa is like the vibrant, festive cousin of Douglas’s Mexican food scene, and it’s a true local favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by colorful décor and inviting vibes. The menu is a feast of sizzling fajitas, zesty street tacos, and mouthwatering enchiladas—and if you’re looking for variety, the Combinations menu lets you mix tacos, enchiladas, tamales, and more in one plate. People rave about their tacos and margaritas—and not just for the flavors, but for the true ambience that makes you feel like you’re on vacation far away from the cold wether right outside the doors (most of the time) Whether you’re craving something familiar or looking for a new favorite, La Costa delivers flavor, flair, and that cozy town hospitality all in one colorful setting.
