Do Not Miss Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse Restaurant With the Best Glenwood Springs Crab
After having eaten at Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse restaurant for what seems like the hundredth time, I have finally decided to write my opinions for what has become my favorite place to eat.
My work makes me drive between Grand Junction and Denver several times a month. I hit various clients along the way – especially in the Roaring Fork Valley. Most mornings I leave Grand Junction by 6 am and go up valley to Aspen, where I begin my calls until I come back to Glenwood Springs – generally around lunch time.
Some of their Fresh Fish Offerings:
- king crab
- oysters
- seafood
- fresh catch of teh day
- blue crab
I have always gone to big, countrywide chain restaurants because while they may not be great, they are consistent. That’s a smart choice in most areas, and after stops at some local restaurants I stuck by that maxim. I like new and different things as much as anybody, but I was very dissatisfied. Finally I inquired with some Glenwood Springs residents what local restaurants were hot. Obviously, I got a lot of varied opinions but a frequent note was Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse.
The locals invariably raved over Juicy Lucy’s, and honestly, after finding the place I was impressed immediately. By immediately I mean I was pleased even in the parking lot. Juicy Lucy’s is conveniently found at the heart of the trendy Glenwood Springs downtown scene and just across the Colorado River from the massive Glenwood Hot Springs pool. It is only a short stroll to all kinds of fun shops and remarkable architecture. Juicy Lucy’s itself is located in a structure that has been around over a hundred years, adding to the ambiance in this historic town. Once inside, I was impressed with the casual yet efficient atmosphere. The cozy restaurant was jumping even at lunch, but the staff was welcoming and considerate, and we found a booth quickly.
Actually, I have been there dozens of times and I have never had to wait long at all – even when I stopped in for dinner one Friday night en route to Grand Junction. Once at a table, the food has never disappointed. I have eaten everything from their great appetizer menu to their wonderful steaks and have always loved it. Juicy Lucy’s has a long wine list – from delicious, inexpensive domestics to more expensive but immaculate imports.
They have expanded and revamped the dining room, and the place is bigger and even better. Regardless of how many times I have eaten there, I still make my way to Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse restaurant each time I go through Glenwood Springs.
