BJ'S COLORADO SPRINGS FOOD GUIDE
Where should we eat?
I'm not a food critic. These are just places I actually like and would send a friend who's hungry in Colorado Springs.
NO RANKINGS. NO PAID PLACEMENTS.
Just places I'd actually go.
This isn't a list of every restaurant in town, and nobody paid to be here. Some are local institutions, some are chains, some are holes in the wall. If I like it, it can make the list.
BREAKFAST
Start with breakfast.
Coffee, eggs, green chile and enough breakfast to make lunch completely unnecessary.
BURGERS
Sometimes you just need a burger.
No requirement that it be trendy, fancy or local. It just needs to be a burger I'd actually eat.
The Public House
Great burgers. Two great places to get one.
The Alexander: 3104 N Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80907
The Original: 445 E Cheyenne Mountain Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
MEXICAN & TACOS
Now we're talking.
Apparently I have enough taco opinions that this section may eventually need its own website.
PIZZA
We're getting pizza.
This list is short on purpose. These are the two I'm sending you to.
COFFEE
I need coffee.
Whether you're meeting somebody, working for an hour or just trying to become a functioning human again.
DATE NIGHT
We're going out.
Date night doesn't have to mean white tablecloths. Good food, drinks and somewhere you actually want to hang out works just fine.
BJ SAYS GO
Just trust me.
These don't need to fit neatly into a category. They're just places I think deserve to be on the list.
Sonora's Market & Taco Shop
Market plus tacos. That's enough of an explanation.
Zapata's
Another one that makes the taco list.
Por Favor Tacos & Tragos
Tacos and drinks. The name pretty much handles this one.
Centennial: 4657 Centennial Blvd, Suite 100, Colorado Springs, CO 80919
Northgate: 13395 Voyager Pkwy, Suite 140, Colorado Springs, CO 80921
WATCH THE GAME
Where are we watching?
When the game matters, I want TVs, food, drinks and people who understand why I'm yelling.
THIS LIST WILL CHANGE
Found somewhere I need to try?
Colorado Springs keeps changing and I'm always eating. If there's somewhere you think belongs on this list, send it my way.
NEED SOMETHING ELSE?
Ask a local.
Food question, neighborhood question, house question — I'm pretty easy to find.
