I never imagined that ANYONE in Colorado of all places knew BBQ ribs, but I will say, I was WRONG. Simply amazing BBQ!!
While spending a two week vacation traveling through America, I ate a lot!
After eating the Mi Pueblo Benny at the Arapahoe Cafe, I exclaimed “this is the best breakfast I’ve had in America!”
"This is one of the original restaurants in Dillon, started when Dillon was at the bottom of the lake. The food here is really good, the service was great. There is a full service bar with full restaurant offerings in the basement. This is a very popular place, so you may have to wait a while. Outdoor dining is available and very nice. Daily specials in the bar area are great. The Ribs and BBQ are excellent."
"Stopped in here for lunch they were busy but very friendly and helpful. Wide range of food items on the menu. I chose the special a poblano BLT meatloaf sandwich. Stellar!! Would recommend this little place highly excellent service."
"Hello, I just wanted to compliment your staff. What a great time our seniors had eating at Arapahoe Cafe. Both times we arrived with a bus load of folks, no prior arrangements. We were welcomed, received excellent service and the food was wonderful. Thank you for your gracious welcome. We will be back!!"

The key to great crab cakes is really good quality ingredients and keeping your recipe simple. It is worth the little extra money to have the best ingredients. Doug’s crab cakes are super easy to make and oh so good.
