Cripple Creek is full of history, but when it comes to food, The District Kitchen & Saloon is making its own mark. This local favorite at 367 East Bennett Avenue is where comfort food meets bold flavor, and their “Best in the West Hot Chicken Sandwich” might just be the crown jewel. Spicy, crispy, and stacked with fresh toppings on a toasted brioche bun, it’s the kind of sandwich that makes you forget about the slot machines.
Let’s talk about the standout: their “Best in the West Hot Chicken Sandwich.” It lives up to its name. We’re talking spicy, crispy chicken piled high with creamy coleslaw, tangy pickles, and mayo, all on a toasted brioche bun. It’s the perfect balance of heat, crunch, and flavor. Add in a side of crispy tater tots and you’ve got a plate that will have you coming back for seconds.
Before you even get to the main course, do yourself a favor and start with the Cheese Curds or the “Boomer” fried mushrooms. Both appetizers hit the mark and are ideal for sharing.
The atmosphere at The District Kitchen & Saloon is warm, friendly, and just the kind of place where you want to linger a little longer. Whether you’re visiting Cripple Creek, heading over to Victor, or stopping by to see Rita the Rock Planter, this restaurant deserves a spot on your itinerary.
