Some Of The Best Seafood Boil I've Had. Great Beers Too
The Steamworks is known for their craft beers, which have won multiple awards at the Denver beer festival, but I come to the Steamworks for the Cajun Boil.
I've eaten at the Steamworks about a dozen times and I'm never disappointed. I make trips out of my way when visiting southern Colorado just to eat at the Steamworks and everyone I've taken has loved it as well.
I live in a Texas where we have a coastal shore, and border with Louisiana, yet the Cajun Boil at the Steamworks blows away anything I've had back home or in Louisiana. The Cajun Boil at Steamworks contains Crab, Shrimp, Andouille Sausage, New Potatoes, & Corn. Its served traditionally on a table lined with paper, and by being poured into a pile, to be peeled and eaten by everyone at the table.
The food is always amazing, and if your a beer drinker the combo makes this place awesome. On one trip I was told the Cajun Boil was only available at dinner, so my friend and I ordered the NY Steak with Blue Cheese, and the Sockeye Salmon which he returned and ordered a 2nd time only 2 days later.
I've tried a wide range of the beers on tap, and my favorite has got to be the Colorado Kolsch.
Im not really much of an IPA person, but the Conductor IPA is pretty good as well.
The Prescribed Burn is good if you like spicy. Its made from Habaneros, Hatch Chile's and Poblano peppers. Its not super spicy, but its got a slight burn to it.
The Steamworks is one of my all time favorite restaurants. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area. Plus craft beers can be bought in growlers to go. I brought several back to Texas and believe the altitude change helped seal the bottles. They lasted a good while in the fridge.— Paul
