7 Best Burger Restaurants near Central City

“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.“

“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!!“

“Met the bbq master the night before at a local bar. Acted on his recommendation and stopped in. Had the brisket sandwich and beans. Both were very good. I am a Texas brisket guy and I have to say this sandwich was on point. Nice little place for lunch. I would recommend it“

“It's kind of quiet and lacks atmosphere, but if you like quiet I guess that's good. The $7.77 prime rib deal is fantastic and you don't even need to gamble. Just sign up for a slot card, then go to a self serve kiosk to print the coupon for the offer.“

“good mushroom balls, love Carla too“

“My husband and I are on vacation and have come back twice now for breakfast because it’s that good! The food is consistently amazing — fresh, hot, and flavorful. But what really makes this Carl’s Jr. stand out is the service. Everyone we’ve interacted with has been genuinely friendly and welcoming. The store has a cool, fresh vibe, and we love the music they play — it really adds to the atmosphere. Definitely one of our favorite breakfast spots during our trip to Idaho Springs!“

“I placed an order through the app for breakfast. As I was working remotely I was trying to avoid spending time off the clock to go and get my order so I had it set for delivery. After an hour passed and McDonald’s stopped serving breakfast my wife and I ended up going into the store to ask if they had any other information or if we could cancel it or whatever. The manager on duty went out of his way to get us our original order. Which he did not have to do as this was DoorDash’s problem and not his. The service was impeccable and it was very nice of him to do what he did for us“
