22 Best American Restaurants in Golden

“100% recommend. My girlfriend loves the salads and the sweet potato fries. All of the burgers are tasty. The service and owner presence is also on point.“

“I had my rehearsal dinner here in September 2025 and had the most lovely experience!! The staff was so kind and attentive. I loved working with Tarah leading up to the event! She made everything so easy! Food and cocktails were so good and we had such an amazing evening celebrating here.“

“Beautiful view. Great service“

“The on-deck food truck at Ohm Brewing is an amazing little secret gold-mine for the Golden, CO Sunday Day-Drinkin' crowd. 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!“

“The food was very good, and Colleen was professional, courteous, and very helpful! Its easy to see how much she cares about the students here, and that makes this place even more amazing. I highly recommend the Embry-Riddle Prescott location.“

“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!“

“Stayed in this lovely Courtyard just across the freeway from the beautiful hills surrounding the Red Rock amphitheater. The ladies in the Bistro downstairs were welcoming and professional. They made a great semi-dry Starbuck’s cappuccino and eggs to order. Thanks, Emma, for making us feel at home.“

“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.“

“Our sever Kate was amazing! She was a peach! I started with a dirty martini and she asked all the right questions ;), the bartender Lori (lory) sp.? Also came out to ask some clarifying questions and it came out great! The food was great! Fantastic French dip! My second drink started out lackluster, however Kate caught the mistake and then Lucas the bar manager corrected and explained what went wrong. Lory also came and explained the situation and it was amazing learning experience! Can’t wait to see Kate, Lory and Lucas on our next visit. Highly recommend for great service and great food/drink“

“Me & my husband had my mother in law over & grandmother & aunt. It was just lovely! We all ate so well & drank even better! & the atmosphere is so genuine. Highly recommend!“

“They refused to honor out AARP discount despite not being able to show the policy in writing. they were very rude“

“Very creative and amazing food and cocktails at reasonable prices. Service was great. Don’t pass this place up.“

“I have been going here for years, especially for the wings. Forsure best in the state and I haven't found any out of state that tops it either. They are unique and exquisite and I will never get enough. Thank you for creating amazing food and wonderful memories.“

“I regularly go here to get their vegan breakfast burrito (with avo, and smothered in green chile, obvs). It is better than any other vegan burrito I’ve EVER had. Including at entirely vegan restaurants. This burrito has tofu, and potatoes, and kale, among other goodness. And the crema on top?! VEGAN. Their seasonal lattes are excellent as well (with oat milk, of course!) Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01“

“Always a fun spot to enjoy wonderful food, libations, music and dance, dance, dance. Come out and join in on the fun in the sun. ???“

“Go spot to shake off a little dust.“

“Great wings and exceptional service!!“

“The only choices on this review are “do” or “do not” recommend this place… I’m somewhere in between! This place is great if you want to hang out with friends, play some pool and have a beer! I do NOT recommend the nachos! It’s like they dumped a bag of chips on a tray and sprinkled a handful of cheese and dry hamburger on top. They charge for a side of queso. $21 for the worst nachos we’ve had in our lives. The cheese curds were good. I’ve not tried anything else on the menu, but I probably won’t be back for the food. Definitely pool and drinks. It’s great for that!“

“Great poutine and I am native to poutine from Quebec. Burgers and side salads with cilantro dressing rocked. Devine desserts. Will be back! Great atmosphere, cute furniture and pretty plates too. Love the openess on a hot summer day!“

“My husband and I had brunch there this week and it was delicious. Staff was very friendly, and it was clean 👌. We will definitely recommend and eat there again. The biscuits and gravy are fabulous.“
