I conclude my update to the Best Burgers in Colorado today with a category that I call "The Rest", which should not be taken as lesser burgers by any means. In fact, several of the places that I hit the most often are on this list, and you would do well to give them a shot.
The Rest:
Dairy Delite
3080 West Eisenhower Blvd., Loveland, CO 80206
970-667-2111
Pretty good chance that if you are looking for me between the hours of 11:00 -12:00 Monday through Friday between the months of April and October, and provided that I am in this time zone, that you will find me at Dairy Delite. Without question, the best burger in Northern Colorado and certainly one of my all time favorites. The service is epic, and the food is just as good. Ironically, I rarely ever get the ice cream that put this place on the must stop at list for all of the summer travelers heading up or down the Big Thompson canyon heading up to or down from Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.
I just can't say enough about this place – the burgers are handmade, cooked to order, placed on a perfect hard roll or Kaiser bun. The fries are well done and there are plenty of them. Chances are if you are meeting me for lunch in Loveland during the summer months, we will be going here. I have taken dozens (probably closer to a hundred) of different people to DD and never have I heard a complaint. This is what the old style ice cream shop / hamburger stand should be like, and I am counting the days until it opens again.
Honorable Mentions (alphabetically):
City Grille
321 E Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80203
303-861-0726
Griff’s Hamburgers
742 S Broadway, Denver, CO 80209

I hope you have enjoyed this list. If you ever need a friend to have a burger dining experience with you, give me a shout! If, for some reason you know of a burger that didn't make it on to my list, PLEASE share it. I am always game for a new burger...
