American Restaurants in Colorado
When Guy Fieri’s red Camaro rolls into Colorado, the Centennial State delivers big flavors at high altitude. From 2011 to 2022, Triple D has spotlighted 14 American restaurants across this diverse culinary landscape, and every single one remains open today—a testament to Colorado’s thriving food scene. With an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars, these joints have proven they’re worth the trip.
Denver leads the pack with six featured spots, including standouts like Maria Empanada, where authentic South American flavors earn a stellar 4.7-star rating, and Tocabe American Indian Eatery, bringing Native American cuisine to the mainstream with equally impressive marks. CoraFaye’s Café rounds out the top performers with its soul food that keeps locals coming back. Beyond the capital, Guy has uncovered gems in Colorado Springs, Boulder, Aspen, and Grand Junction—proving that whether you’re in the mountains or on the plains, Colorado knows how to deliver on flavor, creativity, and that unmistakable Triple D spirit.
