Gluten Free Dining In Cripple Creek Colorado

After my recent excursion to the Casinos in Cripple Creek, Colorado I am happy to say that there are two establishments that I can enthusiastically recommend.

For a great bargain, the Home Cafe located inside Bronco Billy's features a good, quick, inexpensive meal. The cooks are well versed in gluten free preparation methods. They offer 49 cent breakfast specials daily, as well as a full lunch and dinner menu.

We enjoyed an incredible dinner at Maggie's, located beneath the Colorado Grande Casino. The food was fresh, the service was excellent, and both the kitchen staff and our server were incredibly knowledgeable about gluten allergies and the products they use. The dinner menu at Maggie's features aged Angus beef, and my porterhouse was incredible. Maggie's serves all three meals daily, and remains open until midnight on Friday and Saturday with a limited late night menu.

ABSOLUTELY NOT MARTHA said...

hi! just wanted to mention that I’m doing a post about favorite gluten free food products on absolutely not martha. I’d LOVE to hear what yours is--just leave me a comment (if you haven’t already).

To whom it may concern;

I am writing to inform you of our new Gluten free menu. About 4 yrs ago my sister Christine and I opened nebo restaurant at 90 N. Washington St. in Boston’s North End. Nebo is a traditional Italian restaurant offering dishes based on recipes that were passed down from our mother and grandmother. After being open for about a year, two of our closest friends were told they had Celiac disease. We then realized just how many people this disease has affected and the need for an alternative for their dining restrictions. Determined to serve our friends their favorites, we set upon making our menu available in a gluten free form. We are thrilled to say that we have now produced 90% of our menu with the same great taste as our regular menu. We don't think there has been an accomplishment that has brought us more pleasure. If you would like us to forward a copy of our Gluten free menu please send a menu request to nebofunctions@gmail.com .

Good to hear that the Home Cafe is turning out good GF fare! We have a vacation home near Cripple Creek and used to enjoy going to the Imperial Hotel restaurant where Chef Paul took good care of us, but it closed.
The new owners are serving Italian food, and although they advertise GF pasta an inquiry revealed they cook it in the same water as the gluten pasta. I gave them feedback so hopefully they can change course with this.

Subject: Gluten free Meals Hi there we are staying in Cripple Creek for around a week in the middle of June.

I have been told that your Home Cafe actually does Gluten Free Meals , could you confirm that this is the case and if so what the menu is .
Very best regards

I checked with our food and beverage director, and we do not have gluten free meals.

So a backward step , also I can find no way to ask the same question of Maggies in CC....

We read your blog and tried to go to Maggie's yesterday, and when we asked about gluten free they simply said no they couldn't do anything gluten free. Just passing along the info. We ended up at The Midland Depot which had many options and great service. July 17, 2016
