of dining options, from quick sandwiches to elegant
restaurants, private banquet rooms, coffee shops,
and pizza places!
| This restaurant, located
across from the post office,
sells New York-Style pizza. |
|
 |
| Blue Canyon Grill recently
moved from one of the side
streets to Washington Avenue, in
the historic Foss Drug
building. The service is prompt
and friendly, the booths are
comfortable, and most
importantly--the food continues
to be great.
The lower level is called
"The Underground" and is a very
hoppin' bar. |

D'Deli makes exceptionally
good sandwiches. The shop
always smells of fresh-baked
bread, and their sandwiches are
generously filled.
They also run a satellite
operation on the Golden History
Center's back patio during the
summer. Their grilled mahi-mahi
has won quite a following.
Eating D'Deli's sandwiches (or
their ice cream) while watching
Clear Creek is a quintessential
Golden experience. |

on 14th Street, has been very
successful for a number of
years. They offer live music on

The Old Capitol Grill is so-named
because the territorial legislature
(before Colorado became a state)
used to meet in this building. The
food is good, and the decor is well
worth seeing--particularly all of
the old Golden photos hanging on
their walls. The view from the bar
is wonderful, with a good view of
Castle Rock on South Table Mountain. |

The Quizno's
franchise is locally-owned. Their
sandwiches are toasted and tasty!

Starbucks, Quiznos, and
Woody's

This popular
restaurant serves
excellent Himalayan food
(Nepalese, Tibetan, and
Indian). The menu is
available on the
website. |

Starbucks is one of
several places downtown to get good
coffee. This one is located in a
former movie theater. Rick Gardner
has put a really nice
history of the building on the
Golden Landmarks Association's web
site.
|
|
The Table Mountain Inn
has a good restaurant and
bar. They have a
particularly extensive
selection of margaritas!
Their bar menu offers a nice
range of appetizers, which
makes this a good place to
go after the theater, when
most of the restaurants in
town are closed. They also
put on big buffets on
holidays such as
Thanksgiving, Mother's Day,
and Christmas. Check their
web site to see their
menus. |
This restaurant has
been operating for many years out of
a charming old house. Admire the
beautiful woodwork while you savor
their good Italian food!
This fairly recent
addition to downtown became an
instant favorite. The food is all
made from scratch and is delicious.
In addition, the hardwood floors,
fireplace, aged brick walls, and
comfortable furniture makes this a
nice place to meet friends and just
hang out. Their menus are available
on their
web site.
Woody's makes
exceptional pizza. Their
pizza-and-salad-bar-buffet is a
great place to eat way too much.
The chefs keep putting out different
varieties of pizza, including a
California pizza that includes
artichokes. Patrons can return to
the pizza bar as often as they like
to see what new options have become
available.
