Nice restaurants - Golden area

[Irving]

Mannie and Bo's has great calzones (get cream cheese!!), AND you can get them half price if you go during their generous happy hour times. However, I don't remember getting food earlier than 40 minutes or so after ordering, so bring a board game.

Briarwood, $$$$ and over-rated. Chart House, $$$$ and over-rated. The Fort, $$$$ and decent.

If I had to pick a nice place in Golden, Table Mountain Inn would be my first choice. Good variety, not cheap, but much less than the three above and the food is REALLY good.

If you want to walk around some, you can grab a Bob's Atomic Burger and stroll up a few blocks to Washington and hit the shops (I heard girls like to shop).

If you like hole in the wall, down on Old Golden there is a good family owned mexican food, El Amigo and 2 doors down Mannie and Bo' Pizza. Elote's Cafe is pretty good too. Lots of good places in Golden, just most are not the ones the Denver Tourists go to.

I took so many short tours (and Coors gave the Frats free beer) when I went to Mines I'd rather go thirsty than have a Coors light.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the post!

The only food in Blackhawk is casino food.. I wouldn't classify it as anything special..

I'll add The Bridgewater Grill downtown.. A little bit out of town but the steakhouse on 6 and Simms is good. A few nice places in downtown Morrison as well. If the weather is nice spend a couple hours at The Golden City Brewery.

yeah I've only been to blackhawk once, and it was more of a bachelor party situation... was trying to remember if there was something nice up there. I was thinking there might only be casino restaurants lol
