10 Best Vegan Restaurants near Idaho Springs

“Outstanding! Everything was awesome, from the best spinach & artichoke dip i've ever had, excellent smoked chicken drummies, and perfect short rib! The staff, Fez and Thad, were awesome, introducing us to the locals and making our first night in Colorado very entertaining!“

“It’s great to have gluten free options in the mountains! The gluten free bread actually stays together when you eat your sandwich and it’s not significantly smaller than their regular bread. I’ve eaten here multiple times and I haven’t gotten sick - would definitely recommend!“

“Super friendly staff and the best BBQ in Colorado. Nice selection of beers on tap. I highly recommend the all-you-can-eat rib special every Monday. A great way to start your trip into the mountainsEdit: they no longer offer all you can eat ribs in Mondays but the food and staff are still amazing.“

“Omg this place is so good!! They have so many Benedict options and the flight was super good!! Got the cajuan one and the sausage was delicious. Also the main one and lobster was mmmmm. Last The Kenny steak one and the flavor of it all was so amazing. The service was great. The pancakes are delicious fluffy and a little crispy. Love this place will have to come back one day.“

“This was my first time visiting Beau Jo’s and will NOT be my last !! Everything about this establishment was absolutely AMAZING! Don’t skip on the wings, they’re soooo worth it. We got a half pesto chicken and half cajun, probably one of the best split pizza decisions. We also got dessert, were we extremely full after the pizza..YES, but the peach cobbler was INSANE.Along side with how amazing all the food was, the vibe of the restaurant was soooo cool, there’s an entire wall of napkin drawings which we thought was so fun and original. It definitely added personality and the sense that they love their customers. Our servers name was Kelly and she was amazing, very attentive without overdoing it. Plus you can tell she enjoys her job which makes the experience a whole lot more enjoyable. Overall, you NEED to dine here, bring your friends, family, your worst enemy.. ANYONE!! Beau Jo’s is worth it!!!!!“

“So glad we decided to grab lunch in Idaho Springs and stop here specifically. My girlfriend has Celiac disease, so we're always looking for gluten free spots, and they have plenty of options for her. To top it off, our server Connor was absolutely awesome. His recs were on point, and he provided us with excellent service. We will definitely stop through here again between ski resorts and Denver again soon!“

“DO NOT PASS ON THIS PLACE. I was driving back from an early morning ski day in arapahoe basin, and stoped to grab a breakfast burrito at 2:00 PM. I seriously could not have possibly been more pleased, and highly recommend to other pre/post ski travelers on I-70! kind staff, great/cozy atmosphere, and let me say, the green chilli breakfast burrito GOES SO HARD. 10/10 experience, wildly cheap food, GENEROUS portions. Can’t speak highly enough of this place.“

“Stopped here for a bite following a day up in the mountains. We appreciated that they offered smaller pours of their brews in addition to the recs for their sandwiches. I had the fried tofu sandwich and it had lots of flavor. Definitely would come back for the fries!“

“What appeared to be an utterly unassuming diner was actually a diamond in the rough. The staff, upon entry, were unendingly friendly, with a very clean mountain aesthetic.Then, dear Goodness, the food arrived.Hands down, the absolute best green and red chili we've had since moving out west, absolutely unparalleled. And the burger! Oh goodness, the best burgers we've had in 20+ years.If you're passing by here, STOP AND EAT. If you don't, you're missing out on some of the best food in Colorado, hands freaking down.We are bookmarking this as an out of the way place to return to regularly. I hope I can request large batches of the chili to-go!“

“Menhi was the best server we have ever had here!! He was absolutely incredible! We have come many times before and had poor service but Menhi proved us wrong. I would highly recommend asking for him when you come here!!!There is a lady manager who is absolutely horrendous, she made me feel so uncomfortable and yelling at her staff! I would never treat my staff the way she did, especially in front of clients. Menhi made it much more comfortable and we had a wonderful experience… thank you for a great experience“
