“Great atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2013

This is the place in Cripple Creek where the locals go to avoid the casino tourists. The bar offers a wide variety of drink selections and the food is very good. The owner has decorated the bar/eating area and upstairs reception area in Victorian fashion - very nice!

“Great Atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2013

I found this place by using the TripAdvisor app and searching for near me. The reviews were good so we gave it a chance and was very happy about it. The chilli cheese burger was amazing. The chili had very good flavor, the burger itself was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It was a messy burger which is what... More

“5 buck burgers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2012

The Wednesday $5 burgers are fantastic. The place was closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Food was slightly more expensive than other places, but then it's not dilapidated like some other places!

Thanks for the review. We're so glad you like the 5 buck burger! (Catchy name--we should have thought of that:) During the winter season we do close on Monday and Tuesdays, but open Wed.-Sunday otherwise. Our prices are slightly higher b/c we only use the best and freshest ingredients we can get, when we considered lowering the prices, we would... More

The Creek is our home away from home, to gather with friends and family, Cleta is a part of that family! She goes above and beyond for everyone!

“New manager doesn't do well”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2012

We had been to "The Creek" numerous times. The manager was everywhere, friendly, courteous and fun. Food always out of the kitchen hot and wonderful. Went back this fall and there is a new manager. Things are not working. Understaffed and lacking organization. We did get our food hot, but only because the kitchen serve window is so small that... More

“Tried the rest! This is the best!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2012 via mobile

Found the Creek a few years ago. Everything we've ate has been great! Service is very friendly and it's very clean. After being disappointed, at many of the other places in Cripple Creek we have ate at. We always end up back at the Creek. Thanks for being consistent.

“Lovely place I didn't expect.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2012

Was up for the day from Denver. Looking for late lunch. The Creek has been beautifully remodeled, leaving the original19th century brick walls and some of the wonderful original woodwork. Stained glass lamps, lovely bar, and the best hand-dipped onion rings I have had. Philly cheesesteak was everything you would want to expect - if you were from Philly! Great... More

“Great sandwiches”

Fries were very good, fast food style and crispy. My steak and cheese was one of the best I've had a in a while,... More

“Good food means long wait.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2012

We ate here because there was a line to get into the place. It was definitely worth the wait. The workers tried their best to serve everyone timely. They were 'running' around. Gave them extra tip for their hard work. Have the chili cheese fries....they're the bomb......
