Restaurants near Central City

“When you been on the trail, with some dust on your brim. Dismount that trusty steed or Subaru and saddle up to the Bar for a cocktail before supper or a hard night of gambling. This place looks like a Movie Set except it's real as the spurs on your feet. Let's ride!”

“I recently moved to the area. I saw the good reviews for Stella's and wanted to check it out. I've been here six times now, mostly wanting "burger" type meals. The burgers I've ordered have all been great and the size/amount of food for the money is second to none in todays food prices.\n\nThis "cafe" is linked to the Bonanza casino. I've only ever been here at the noon hour shortly after they open. The very first time I visited, there were two employees. All five other times there was only one. Needless to say, when it's just one employee who's doing the order inputting and cooking it's a bit slow. All six times I've visited around noon, there's never many patrons but it's obvious this cafe also is cooking for the employees of the Bonanza casino on break. That being said, the gal who's running the show is a rock star cooking and providing great customer service and food despite the casino not being able to keep an adequate staff???\n\nMy last visit I wanted to try a pizza. I came in at noon, when they open, and was told the pizza oven wouldn't be warm enough to cook a pizza for an hour or so. I ordered another great burger instead but wanted future patrons to know, don't come here for a group/personal pizza before 1:30. Despite some of my complaints they still get 5 stars for taste per dollar and customer service in the face of shortages.”

“Incredible food, friendly staff, beautiful historic building. It's our number one place to visit in Black Hawk. You will not be disappointed.”

“Awesome beer and pizza on the cheap”

“It’s the second time me and my husband have been here and Kevin has gone above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect!!! The best customer service the kind you rarely experience now days !!!!!! Thank you Kevin”

“The food is so much better this year than ever before, so I recommend the Face Bar. The service is wildly uneven. Last week, we had a server who was fabulous, checked in often, and got us iced coffees, even refilled! This week, we had a server who did not understand our orders, told us we couldn't have iced coffee (though he did get it when we insisted), did not bring cream or sugar until the fourth (polite) request, and barely checked in. I get it — it is difficult to get wait staff in the mountains. It is so unfortunate that the service is so uneven, since it's the only non-casino sit-down restaurant in town.”

“We had a fantastic experience at Dragon Tiger Noodle Co. and the quality was exceptional! 🍜 I later found out it’s a Jet Tila concept, which explains the sophisticated flavors and presentation—you can really taste the difference.

The open kitchen was such a great feature, and my custom bowl with house-made ramen and Chinese chicken broth was superb! Plus, the portions of chicken and shrimp were impressively generous. 🍤

We also loved the crispness of the fried gyoza and Lil' Dragon wings! 🔥 We got the sauce on the side to be safe, but the heat was very balanced, so we’ll definitely get them tossed next time. No photos of the sides because we devoured them the second they hit the table—honestly, that’s the best review I can give! 🍴”

“Food and drinks were fantastic. Everything is well thought out and smooth for the pallet! Chad was great and didn't burn the restaurant down with his metradee butter presentation! 5 stars and really reasonable prices all around. Fantastic date night atmosphere too!”

“This was some of the BEST bbq I have ever had! Sweet location and decor! Staff was attentive! Sauces were phenomenal! Will definitely be back!”

“Extremely clean, high standards and attention to detail are all at play...Amazing fries... delicious alternative soda brand... the Pinnacle of hot dogs and brats. Homemade sides and desserts that are fantastic! Lots to love here!”

“Great Pizza, Staff and Atmosphere! Well worth the drive from Kansas City!”

“real good pizza and salad to go! Thanks!”

“Exceptional food and service. We drive up, from Highlands Ranch regularly to enjoy the food and Bob is always fun to visit with. His employees are also excellent; friendly and accommodating. *Got my first Mother's Day wish from Bob who was painting the outside of this fun to look at decor place.”

“They have lobster!!! They also have fantastic eggs Benedict and mimosas in large pint glasses!!”

“We just had the best treat of delicious pizza delivered to our door!!! The pizza was delicious with very nice sauce, generous toppings and great crust. We are so grateful to the new owners for the really good pizza and the absolute joy of delivery in Black Hawk!!”

“I was vacationing from Florida and traveled all over Colorado and tried 7 different coffee spots, and this one was my all time favorite! Their coffee is fresh roasted and the whipped cream is homemade (I normally hate whipped cream and I LOVED theirs!) Highly recommend going there, very cozy atmosphere and everyone was so nice!”

“Great place to relax a little, maybe read a good book, coffee is always fresh and the home style bakery is best kept secret from Denver to the Tunnel, tell them I sent ya, on your next visit....”

“We love that there is a local option for a stellar brewery in Gilpin County! We took two half growlers home and my husband (the wordsmith that he is) came up with the idea that you should call them “The Howler” Much ❤️ to Howlin Wind 😘”

“While I checked out Main Street, my husband found this great little place. He likes the local favorites, not the crazy tourist traps. Such a great atmosphere and fun environment. So fun to sit and visit with the bartender. Can’t remember his name, but it was one of the brothers- the “Fun-cle”. He was super nice and easy to visit with. Sadly, I could not buy his cool shirt!”

“Yummy yummy yummy ice cream 🍦”

“Great service, nice floor plan and spectacular selection of ales, pilsners, lagers, and more+. One of my FAVORITE things about this place is that they serve 3 different size glasses. This gives you the opportunity to try several different selections on their menu in 5oz glasses. Fantastic opportunity for customers to try different things without commiting to a large size. Love this place!”

“We enjoyed Clear Creek Cidery! Our waiter was very nice! Not sure of his name, but he greeted us when we walked in. He seated us and asked us how we were. He made sure we had everything we needed and even made sure my daughter was happy! He checked on us several times and made sure we were satisfied! The lady that was helping clean tables was very sweet as well! She was refilling drinks and even brought my daughter paper and crayons to draw with. Their on tap cider was very good! I tried the hard apple! My daughter’s chicken strip kids meal was very fresh! My husband loved the salmon appetizer! Everything is made fresh and homemade and you can really tell they value their business and customers! We loved this place and plan to go back when we visit Idaho Springs again!!”

“We stopped here on our cross country honeymoon, and decided on impulse to stop at the brewery. The food was so good, great portions, vibe was fun. The best part was our server Christian. He was such a delight and it truly made our experience. He was quick to make conversation with us and very interesting to talk to. He told us a bit about the area and gave us a few recommendations. If you get a chance to stop here definitely ask for Christian. You won’t regret it!”

“I was in Denver for training at work and didn’t want dinner in town I want to see the Mountains and get local. Great little place if you are in the area, good food and beer and take RT. 6 back into Golden it is a Beautiful drive.”

“The new ownership at the Canyon Tavern has done a great job! The food is now so yummy and the beers are flowing. We love playing shuffle board here and listening to live music!”

“Really cool stores with ice cream and treats, plus they have Legos, souvenirs, and anything else you might be looking for while you're walking down their Main Street. And they have an axolotl”

“My new favorite sandwich shop. Each sandwich done with respect to quality, at a great price. Staff is awesome. Eat here!”

“This place was great , beer and food were fabulous and the atmosphere of the old bar and building very cool. Highly recommend as a place to visit.”
