It has been some time (almost two years) since I last updated the list of the best burger spots in Colorado. And, for those of you who know me, it isn't because I have not been eating burgers!
For this iteration, I have decided to change it up a bit, classifying the burgers into different categories:
The Best – The most noteworthy of restaurants that serve gloriousness on a bun.
Chain Burgers – Restaurants that are part of a larger chain of restaurants, or have many locations.
The Rest – Worth a mention, but didn't necessarily make it into the tops of one of the others.
The Best:
Bud’s Bar
5453 Manhart St., Sedalia, CO 80135
303-688-9967
Located on US 85 between Littleton and Castle Rock, Bud's Bar has been doing exactly the same thing, and doing it better than anyone else, since I first went there 25 years ago. The only change is that the new owner (new being his has only owned the place for 10 years now) replaced the windows (you can actually see out of them now), benches and upgraded the TVs.
The burgers are hot, fresh, ½ pound, hand packed, fried patties on a regular hamburger bun. They are usually so hot off the grill that you have to wait a moment before biting into one. These are the best in class, best burger around, period. And that is really saying something. No list discussing the best burgers in Colorado (and some say the nation) is complete without a mention of Bud's. It has won the Westword award for best burger so many times in a row that they literally had to open it up to other categories for the others to have a chance.
