Steuben’s Food Service on East 17th Avenue in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood has been one of the city’s most beloved comfort food restaurants since it opened in 2006, building a menu around the American diner classics done with quality ingredients and the kind of creative care that turns comfort food into something worth seeking out. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 6 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Signature Sandwiches,” which aired February 7, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Denver kitchen doing American comfort food at a level that earns a destination reputation — lobster rolls, chicken and waffles, and the kind of scratch-made food that makes Steuben’s one of the most consistently praised restaurants in the city.

What to Eat
The Lobster Roll, New England-style on a toasted split-top bun with cold lobster and mayo, is the signature that most Denver food media have cited as one of the best in the landlocked Midwest. The Chicken and Waffles with house-made hot sauce and maple syrup is the other DDD highlight that draws visitors specifically from across the city. The Tater Tots — yes, actual tater tots, elevated with house-made dipping sauces — are the side dish that regulars order without hesitation. The Denver Omelette, the city’s own contribution to American breakfast, is the morning classic done properly here. The Milkshakes, hand-dipped with creative flavors, close every proper Steuben’s meal. Book your Denver hotel on Travelocity.
