Update. Debby was a fantastic waitress. We enjoyed her very much. The food is still good. The service excellent. It is clean and well situated. read more

When dining in Cripple Creek, your options are fairly limited but if you desire a solid meal that will "stick to your ribs" as my mother used to say, then this location will suffice. It's upstairs in the Triple Crown casinos so I don't believe children are able to dine there. The food is probably a "3" but our service is always a "5". While the decor is basic and aged, it is comfortable and clean. The service is ALWAYS top notched as the waitresses are always friendly and welcoming. They recently revised their menu and have some new choices. If you are wise, you would get a players card at Triple Crown casinos and you will most likely find monthly coupons in your mail for free meals here. We have dined here dozens of times and never had a bad experience! The cheesesteak is my personal favorite. read more

Last night I got the fried chicken. I am not sure if they had the windows open and caught the bird or what, but the chicken leg was literally the size of my thumb. If I can figure out a way to post the picture, I will. I hope they sent the note that may have been attached to this carrier pigeon on with the next one. I am sure he was on his way to Utah or Nevada to give a message. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! We tried this restaurant yesterday for lunch. We kindly asked if we could be seated by the window. We were told "sorry, we are not seating that section at the moment". Mind you this is a very small restaurant and the section they were seating was only five steps away. We said OK then we will find somewhere else to have lunch and the lady at the front said "fine". We thought maybe this was just a bad experience try it again this morning for breakfast. We again asked if we could be seated by the window and the greeter said "sorry, we are not seating that section." We explained our experience from yesterday and she "sorry, those are just the rules". We accepted that and were seated. To our shock, 20 seconds later, she seated a couple by the window, where she had just told us they are not seating! We asked to speak with the manager, who came out. She interrupted me as I was telling her about our experience and said "we can seat you now by the window." We picked up our own glasses, silverware, and napkins ourselves and moved over by the where she said we could sit. We then proceeded to wait over 15 minutes and no one ever came to wait on us. Several other people entered the restaurant, were seated and waited on. Finally, we got the message that we would not receive service. We exited without anyone asking us a thing. As a small business owner and frequent diner , I would be appalled at this type of service. I find it hard to believe that this would be acceptable to any restaurant owner. We will never be back and will certainly share our negative and unwelcoming experiences with others. read more

9.23.2026 I ordered 2 Break fast burritos to go. Our bartender Wendy was kind enough to get them for me while my husband and I played on the machines. I was really disappointed. If I wanted a just a potato burrito I would have ordered that! Looked like only 1 egg scrambled was used and there was barely any meat inside. But the cook was not shy on the fry potatoes chunks about the size of a half dollar. Won't be going back. Only thing we did like a while back we had the appetizers were the hot chicken wings read more

Appetizers first....after the third hair in our food on the appetizer round, we were out. GROSS.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a dinner spot. Dynamite Dicks was in our hotel so we had to give it a try. We got the Salsbury steak and fries. They were kind enough to split it in half. The waitstaff were absolutely amazing. This lovely woman, who had the best acrylics took care of us. She had such great energy especially for a slower moving hotel. The food was quite tasty - nothing to write home about but good and it did hit the spot. If we are ever in the area or need a mini weekend getaway we will be eating here. Overall, 4/5 stars read more

Service was good and most of the food was really good. I forgot to take a picture of the burrito, which my dad got. He liked the burrito, I loved my sandwich, and the pot pie was delicious! My mom and husband liked the Burt ends Mac and cheese but my dad and I agreed that it was way too sweet. The bbq sauce over powered everything. If that wasn't on it, it would be way better. Not bad for a casino restaurant. My parents also come here for breakfast quite often and rave about the skillets. read more

The chicken fried steak dinner is awesome!!! Their country gravy is awesome!! Don't believe the idiot reviews. This place makes great burgers and entrees. read more

Food was amazing, service was great . Small place but we had a party of 8 and they got us right in. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars, had the worst steak of my life, was like eating a fucking hockey puck couldn't cut through it and the butter on the steak tasted like it was infused with dog shit. I wouldn't waste a $ of your money eating at this dump! I wouldn't have fed the food from here to my dog it went straight in the trash!!! read more

Horrible service, hostile people, food sucked, nasty tables that are not cleaned off before they seat you then they ask inconvenienced when you ask for a clean wash cloth to clean it with! Avoid this place at all costs! read more

Good atmosphere, warm and friendly vibes from the server and the food was great! Decent price(s) and the surrounding allure of the city itself adds to the experience! (tips to the chef for a well cooked burger!) read more

I'd give zero stars but it won't let me. We tried to have lunch there but it didn't turn out the way we expected. We where the only table.. We both ordered hamburgers medium well. When we got the they where raw. We sent them back. By the time we got the replacements we were ready to leave. I took a couple of bites and felt sick. I've been burping it up for the last hour and a half. I don't think we will be back. read more

It was super good! We were looking for a good dinner spot and it was super yummy!! Their tomato soup was delicious! Our server was super sweet & told us all about the town & the local donkey's :) read more

The service staff are always top notch and respectful here. I had a caprice chicken sandwich with fries and raspberry ice tea today and it was the best I've had in Cripple Creek. It was delicious and well worth buying. Great experience. read more

Food is real good. Service is typically good too. It is not a low-cost restaurant, as prices have gone up everywhere. Extra nice if you get a seat by the window also. My wife and I eat @ DD's frequently. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk in but the food is really good! Great comfort food and a nice break from gambling if you're in the area. My buffalo melt was nicely cooked and the chicken pot pie was incredible! My favorite dish was the cheese curds. Probably the best cheese curds I have ever had- it's a must if you stop by here! read more

Probably a three and a half star but wouldn't go down to a three because the staff was so nice. Had the country fried steak and eggs and hashbrowns all were good for a diner. The pancakes were also good. Will be back read more

Horrible service, incompetent hostess and waitress. Slow moving kitchen. We arrived and had to wait 20 minutes for a table. The dining room was empty. Not sure what the wait was for. Waitress took our drinks and we waited some more. 10-15 minutes had to ask hostess to get drinks. She was just standing there rolling up silverware. Finally the beer came. Our food sat in the window with our appetizers while the waitress was "busy" . Appetizer finally came out. Waited 15 more minutes for food while I saw it in the window. Food was cold not to mention our order was completely screwed up. Needless to say we got up and left. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Poor service and it wasn't busy. read more

We had lunch here today and it was very good. Our service was terrific- our server was efficient and very friendly. I had the soup and salad combo. The soup was teak p, potato and ale and it was tasty. The salad was fresh and plentiful. Hubby had a chicken cordon blue sandwich which he enjoyed. The chicken was moist and the sandwich was large which made him happy! We would definitely go back! read more

Amazing food and staff. I really enjoy the chicken pot pie, I will definitely be back!

2 Chinese gals ...apparently greeters and temperature takers need to be fired. Told us no TVs upstairs to watch mnf and 'good luck finding a server'. We left. Nothing else open so we came back. TVs had the games on upstairs Emma our server was awesome food was decent. Tipped Emma 40%. read more

I had the fried chicken and my wife had the burger and they were both very good. My wife had what tasted like homemade ranch with her fries. Sarah, our waitress, was very friendly and helpful. read more

Ate dinner and breakfast. This place is not super fancy, but that was okay. I wanted a burger and it came out just fine. Wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. Breakfast I ordered chicken fried stake and my wife got an omelet. She spoke to the waitress about her dietary needs, Ie no gluten, and the meal turned out safe as she had no reactions. They did have some neat twisted version of French fries that I liked, called sidewinders. read more

We met Haley and Kelsey who were our waitresses they were GREAT!! Excellent customer service and great conversation! Thank you ladies! Food was delicious and the wings were like hooters wings. Delicious! And my mom had the chicken fried steak !! Mmm and the fries were perrrrfect! read more

Well we decided on Dynamite Dicks for dinner because they had a ham dinner on their menu. Once we sat down we find out from our waitress that their menu was changed month ago. So anyone planning on eating at Dynamite Dicks do NOT believe the menu they have posted on Yelp, apparently they don't update it. Steak was wonderfully cooked medium rare. Tequila chicken was good but didn't taste any tequila. read more

We loved this hidden jewel of a restaurant. Though we're from out of state, and from a great BBQ State, hands down they had scrumptious BBQ!!! Great service and lovely afternoon or evening atmosphere. If we are ever in this area again, we will be back! read more

For a casino restaurant, which could use a make-over, the food and service here was good. And, very happy to hear the whole place, including casino, is smoke-free. However, we started off with a bit of a snafu when I ordered an appletini and was given a regular vodka martini with olives (gross). And, I guess what really got to me was the waitress knew it was wrong, but delivered it anyway. So, we discussed it and she said she would make me one if the bartender could not (?). Anyway, much better from this point on. My sweetie babes had the best blackened salmon we have tasted I think... EVER! That was a real pleasant surprise. I had the fried cod with their creole sauce, which was OK, but I've had much better. Another great on each of our plates was the loaded mashed potatoes. It's like a twice-baked potato without the skin and it was awesome. So, the service was good, some of the food really good, and for the most part we enjoyed ourselves and left satisfied. My only complaint would be that it was HOT and stuffy in this place, when it was a lovely 64 degrees with a cool breeze outside. Too bad they don't have an outdoor patio! read more

The service was quick and friendly. The food was the issue though, I ordered a chicken fried steak with rice and a dinner roll. The CFS was not fresh but rather microwaved hot, the roll was still frozen hard in the middle. Everything else was ok. My dad had a sandwich that looked real good but the meat on it had very little taste. Seeing that we were only 2 people out of a total of 10 patrons in the restaurant at the time. Being rushed in the kitchen wasn't an issue. read more

Save your time. I know this is a casino eatery but the staff are more worried about their cell phones, when they are getting off and telling the patrons what they can and can't do. Instead of creating an up sell or add on they have to stress that they will charge for this and that. Just advise there is an up charge and bill them. If you want to eat good food though drive to divide. read more

There was no wait on a Monday evening and the restaurant was basically empty. Salad bar looked like it was out of service. We ordered the chicken wings and two steaks. The wings were pretty good, large and crispy, so that is the only reason we are giving 2 stars. Service also wasn't bad, she was pretty quick and warned us away from the street tacos. However, both of the steaks were totally overcooked and dried out. Almost like hockey pucks. Definitely not worth $20 each. We were told their grilled cheese sandwiches are good, but we won't be going back here. There are way better places to spend your money. read more

The burgers here are great. I also recommend the Texas toast Sandwich with pulled pork and viper sauce. The only reason for the 4 star rating is because sometimes the fries are under done and not seasoned enough. They also have TVs if you want to catch the big game. read more

Food was okay.... but our server was RUDE. Lara was extremely sassy and rolled her eyes at us and acted annoyed by everything and anything. So disappointed!! Also didn't know the menu very well and I ordered something I thought was completely different read more

Old gross flavorless food, and it is over priced. Go to home café for cheap consistently quality food, or the steak house for a spurge but its worth every dime!! read more

Friendly service. Food was good. Had a shrimp po boy and the shrimp was over flowing! Can't remember our waitress's name though. Little blonde girl - super nice and helpful. read more

Don't go here!! Warning!!! Poor service, nasty food. Sat for 20 minutes for our waitress to order. She promptly blamed it on the Hostess for not telling her she sat us. Place was very slow at best. Ordered the steak but didn't want broccoli. Was told I could have a salad instead. When to the salad bar to find it out of lettuce and about everything else. Then sat for close to 30 minutes before our food came out. Saw several people who ordered after we did get served and almost finish their dinner. Steak was awful!!! Ordered medium rare and got GREY. Very hard to cut, extremely tough, no flavor. I'm thinking probably should have been thrown away over a week ago. Waitress did not once check on us. I'm sure that as she didn't ask how the food was because she already knew. I could only eat a couple of bites before giving up. When she picked up my credit card I told her the steak was nasty. She asked why I didn't tell her so they could cook another one. Told her I didn't want to have to wait for another hour! Wife says she rolled her eyes as she walked away. There has to be someplace better in Cripple Creek. This place needs to be shut down!! Update: Waitress has now made several attempts to get to me by this account - calling me several derogatory names and telling me that I'm a liar. These kind of places and situations are exactly what Yelp is for! The people do have a voice that may make a difference! read more

For dinner I had a tasty and tender rib eye steak and my wife had fried cod fish. Both plates were very good. We had a delightful waitress who was very efficient. We had a good dining experience. We went back for breakfast the next morning and had another nice waitress. We both got a different egg combination and they were very good. Be sure you are hungry because you will probably get more than you can eat. This is one of the better restaurants in town. read more

Fantastic meals and service. Our server, Mikayla, was incredibly personable and gave great suggestions on entrees. Totally recommend the blackened salmon with citrus butter for an entree and pulled pork sliders as an appetizer. Loved the viper BBQ sauce for the sliders. Live in the Springs but will be back soon! read more
