The Steakhouse

I was scared to go considering the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. I will say the drinks were a major let down. But I enjoyed the bread. The wedge salad and brie appetizers were good. The CO rack of lamb was great. And the bread pudding was good. Service was pretty good, friendly and timely. I wouldn't do garlic bread with the brie, the complimentary bread was a bit undercooked in my opinion, and the bread pudding would be good heated up. Cracked pepper would have been nice for my salad and baked potato. I would based on all that do three stars, but that lamb was pretty darn good! O man, so stinking full now! It is pricey, so be prepared for that.

We waited 18 minutes for water and then 15 minutes for a cocktail, I don't mind paying $37 a plate but the food was sub par.We won't be back!

So we came to Cripple Creek to celebrate our friend's 30th birthday on a saturday night. We asked the locals where the best place to grab a meal was. The response: The Steakhouse. We arrived with our party of 6 at 8pm. We were told in no uncertain terms that they were totally booked and there was no way to accommodate our group. A little dejected, we went around the corner to the mexican joint who gladly and easily sat us and earned our business and tips. On our way out, i snapped this photo of the "totally booked" steakhouse dining room. What a joke. Ill make sure to tell everyone i know in Springs to avoid the steakhouse like the crappy establishment it is.

Returned to "The Steakhouse" for a night out and was greeted with buckets and rags for table cleanups at the entry. I thought surely they were misplaced by accident but as the night progressed the buckets never moved. I'm kicking the bucket on this place!

Love, love, love a good steak! First off the atmosphere is no Ruth's Chris, or Del Frisco but hey! It is Cripple Creek... the Wild West :-). Although the pricing seemed a bit steep for a Casino restaurant we were not disappointed in the food quality and the service.Had the Rib Eye which was pretty darn good and has the table side guacamole that was awesome as well. Since it was more of a casual place we paired the steak with some cold Bud Lights (at $1.75) that helped boost the mountain town experience a bit. As hinted above the only recommendation would be to ease up on the pricing a bit! Rib Eye was somewhere near $38 which makes it an expensive night out and does not leave as much to gamble with.

You would think if a place was called the 'Steakhouse' they would be really, really good at cooking steaks. Like, that should be the thing they're best at, right? Yeah, that's what I figured going in too. Now an 18oz bone-in Porterhouse. That's something to get excited about! If you like Porterhouse jerky, perhaps. It's always disappointing when you order a steak rare and it gets delivered well done. You really didn't have to go and kill the cow twice, man. And don't be afraid of actually seasoning your steaks with some salt and pepper, really! The saving grace - the reason the steak was even edible - was the bordelaise sauce. Girlfriend ordered her New York strip mid-well and she was lucky enough to get it delivered mid-rare. Maybe it was just amateur night on the line on this particular night?The sides were far better than the steaks themselves, but certainly not good enough to justify the prices they've posted. If this is your first time ever tasting guacamole or if you've had nothing but pre-packaged guac before, I could understand the buzz. But if you've had good/authentic/properly seasoned guacamole before, you may be confused. $15 is insane for the 'charmingly prepared' tableside guac experience.The creamed Spinach was actually great, the Yukon mashed potatoes were tasty, the fried calamari was pretty good too - for being a little ways from the nearest ocean. Maybe they should rename the place the 'Sidehouse' - they're certainly not cutting it with the steaks.

The waitstaff was great especially during this short staffing epidemic, but the food was fine. Nothing super special that was worth the price. Got the waygu, medium rare and had to saw through half of it. But again the staff was very kind and they were doing great!

Had a lovely dinner and evening here! The food was excellent, the service friendly and efficient. We liked the ambience, too. Glad to have found a local place for nice dinners. We will certainly go back!

Way over priced for what you get. $40.00+ for an entree and all sides are Ala-cart at $7.00 each. Baked potato $7.00, really? Please.

Well disappointed is the only word I can use. We have been eating here for at least 15 years and have been there many times. The food has always been expensive but I've never left hungry until tonight. the staff is always excellent but the food servings are now a joke. 17.00 will get you 2 scallops and some seranno peppers. My wife's chicken pacatta was a small portion, the neighbors stuffed shrimp was a small portion and my fried shrimp was 6 shrimp, three carrots, about 2 cups of mashed potatoes for 36.00. The food was good but the amount you now get compared to the past is miniscule. If you like a small portion served by good staff and average food you will love the steakhouse now. If you want an adult portion and really good food look elsewhere. It's sad that the prices are that high and the quantity is so small. We won't be going back sadly as I won't put up with the ridiculous prices for the child portions. I know everything is more expensive now but this isn't caesars palace it's cripple creek Colorado and this simple is overpriced and underwhelming. Shane
