Saltgrass Steak House - Cripple Creek, Colorado

We visited this salt grass location for valentine day. We didn't have a reservation and we were still seated quickly.

We were help by Mel and Dori who were great. They ran a valentines day special for a good deal and we had plenty of food! We got seated in the back on the West side and it was a bit chilly for my liking. Otherwise our server was fantastic.

The Saltgrass Steak House at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Cripple Creek is a gem! My wife and I recently visited and were instantly impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere—it’s cozy, charming, and makes you feel right at home.

We decided to share a full rack of their “fall off the bone” ribs, and it was absolutely spectacular! For about $32, we enjoyed a meal that was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generously portioned. By the end, we were completely stuffed, but it was so worth it. The ribs truly lived up to their description, and we’re already looking forward to returning for another round.

If you’re in the area, don’t miss this spot—it’s the perfect combination of great food, great value, and a cozy environment. Highly recommend!

Wife and I enjoyed dining at Saltgrass Steak House. The shrimp cocktail best I've had. Ordered steak and salmon Oscar. Good dinner for the price. The service was a little slow. Waitress took our order, but didn't check on us after that. Had to flag other servers down.

Been craving a real, fresh, chicken fried steak. Stopped by Saltgrass, because it's usually a safe bet.
The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! Really gives off a cool vibe.
We started with drinks, and fried mushrooms. They DO NOT have beer on tap. What a pisser! The bottled beer is InBev garbage. I decided on a Tito's Tea. The mixologist did a great job! Perfect balance. My wife got a Grilled Pineapple Margarita. It was great, too! The mushrooms were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When the Chicken Fried Steaks arrived, it was obvious they're frozen. It tastes like it too. We were starving, so I ate mine. My wife couldn't finish hers. The gravy tasted off, too. Our server was really great though! Attentive and friendly.
Although I was disappointed in the CFS, I should've known better. Colorado can't cook anything that's not out of a Sysco truck.

Update (BREAKFAST) 4 months after the last one: Being the Saltgrass fan I am I had to try their breakfast.

While I wish I could have tried exactly what I ordered I have to admit it was pretty good.

I ordered the 2 sausage breakfast tacos which was also suppose to come with side of fruit, I was really looking forward to the fruit as much as the tacos.

My plate arrived with hash brown and egg in a yummy albeit maybe a bit crunchy homemade tortilla -no sausage. Also no fruit. I was told the fruit is no longer being served with that plate and advised they update the menu. They brought me a side of sausage to add to the tacos.

My date ordered a mushroom omelette that was cooked to perfection and not brown from being overcooked, his came with a side of hash browns, as well. He was impressed. His pancakes were delicious. They had that authentic pancake flavor that one expects from a pancake.

The service overall was not great, it was slow and being busy didn't seem to be a cause. The food seemed to take quite a while to come out too.

I'll be back as I do want to taste their biscuits and gravy. I hope the service improves.

Initial review: Pretty poor first impression. I called about 10 mins prior to arrival to confirm they were open. The lady on the phone seemed energetic and friendly with a resounding yes, and recited the hours untill 11pm, it was 9:30pm so we had time. We arrive to 4 other people who make a remark as we walk up that maybe WE will get some service. Because THEY had been waiting for awhile. Finally someone comes by and sits the THREE parties waiting. The service was at a snails pace. The food not the best, the broccoli cold, the fried shrimp NOT fresh hot and crispy, more like it had been sitting for awhile.
The manager only seemed to care to replace the broccoli, but we had waited so long for our meal in the first place it wasn't worth the additional wait.

There was one lady, pig tail braids that wa she most friendly and helpful, mirroring her work ethic would be advantageous.

Disappointed overall. Definitely expected a higher degree of service and food.

Don't plan on returning to this location

Perfect night out for our Valentine’s Day Dinner. Our Host Dori was fantastic and went through the menu very well. She was great and energetic! Keep up the joyful and positive energy!

Our Server Shafon was great aabout how we’re doing, checked up on us at the right moments and was prompt with our decision making. She is funny, and great to have as a server. Thank you!

Our food was amazing. This was my partners first time actually finishing his plate! That says a lot!

Thank you for accommodating us to a table on this very lovely evening.

I can't say enough about the experience we had this weekend. Staff was very friendly, food was cooked perfectly. Had a large group for breakfasts and Keahna's service was 5 star.... The wife and I decided to go back for dinner as we just wanted to enjoy some bar time. Nate and Codi also gave us 5 star service. They got extremely busy around dinner time, but they didn't stress and worked as a team to get drinks out. The new addition of Salt Grass really is cool. Thank you for the great experience and some laughs!

Always love coming here when we drive up to Cripple Creek. The staff is always friendly. Especially love Gena. She is always friendly and makes sure you are aware of all the specials. Love seeing her smiling face. The waitstaff is very professional and attentive as well.

Management here needs to be aware, your team is amazing. Back of house included! My steak is always perfect!!! Love that I never have to ask for steak sauce (give away that your cook team knows what they are doing!)

Keep up the great work and look forward to next months visit!!!
