Our crew ordered epic pork carnitas fries, a mouthwatering potato burrito, and ultra-creamy Mac 'n Cheese topped with crispy pork carnitas. A true hidden gem. We will be back next time we play a few rounds of disc golf in town!“

“My (now husband) and I eloped in Golden. After our wedding, we made reservations at Indulge for dinner. The staff made the night special for us with flowers and wine waiting for us at our table. Everyone was so kind and congratulatory, I seriously cannot thank them enough. The food was absolutely delicious. The bread with basil butter was to die for. The ahi tuna guacamole was also some of the best ahi tuna I had during our trip. If we didn’t live in Wisconsin, I’d want to go to Indulge on a weekly basis. Next time we’re in Colorado, I know we’ll have to make a pit stop back to Indulge. Again, I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding night feel so special.“

“This was our last stop before heading back to Flat Florida. And I guess we did in fact save the best for last. My husband and I both got the breakfast burrito and wow it was so delicious so many flavors that complimented each other so well. The service was great everyone was so kind. We got there around 9 and it was very busy but the line moved a long quickly.
It’s been 3 months since I’ve been here and I still think about this place and wish I could go back. I will be back again someday!

We both got a caramel iced latte and they were also delicious.

Great place. Clean. Fast. Courteous. And quality. You can’t really ask for more.“
