Casino Salad Bar
Although you won’t wind sprawling buffets at all of Colorado’s gambling halls, there are a handful of casino restaurants with buffets to choose from. Out of the 3 casino towns in the state, only buffets can be found in Black Hawk and Cripple Creek. The casinos in Central City are without them to our knowledge.
Because these buffets are located inside the casino, you’ll need to be 21+ to dine. It’s best practice to sign up for the local casinos awards program. This can track your time spent playing and reward you with discounts at some of these very same restaurants. Plus these free programs are free to sign up for and often required for the member pricing at most of these restaurants. Casino parking usually located on-site in a free parking garage.
Sugar Bush features an outstanding Soup and Salad bar with scratch made soups and salads, traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner choices along with our own personal touch to your all-time favorites. Temporarily Closed. Seating will be availalbe for takeout from the Sports Bar or Cafe. Lunch & Dinner Menu. Best thing ever. Went for my cousins birthday. Food was kept frest, also at a good temperature. Salad bar was great! All together this place was amazing. Staff was awesome. This place is a 12 out of 10.
Best Buffets in Black Hawk and Cripple Creek, CO Casinos
To really make your Gilpin or Teller County casino day a trip to remember, be sure to do more than gamble. You can play casino games virtually anywhere, there are online casinos for that. Instead soak in the local culture, and make sure you get a bit to eat, or two, or three. Go up as many times as you feel to the buffet.
Sometimes you’re hitting the table hard and need to fill up on all you can eat grub, to soak up the free booze and slow down play.
