Westbound & Down Brewing Company

This is one of the best options in Idaho Springs, actually ate here 3 times in 2 days. Literally lunch and dinner and lunch the following day. The food was really great on most occasions, definitely get the fried green tomatoes if it’s still on the menu. One of the more unique items is the jackfruit slider, it’s a play on fulled pork and they hit it on the nail. The pork rinds and cheddar biscuits are great starters as well. There were a few things I wouldn’t recommend, the fried chicken entree and Mac and cheese needs a lot of work. The first two times were so good until I had those two items, I mean the Mac and cheese was just noodle in cheese flavored milk. If I hadn’t had the Mac and cheese and fried chicken this would easily be a 5 star review. I will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area and will refrain from those items.

Very nice restaurant and brewery. Both the beer and food are excellent. Easy access from I70 and lots of free parking. Our server was very knowledgeable and knew there three vegan/vegetarian items on the menu. He was very helpful and brought me two beers to sample and a nicely filled pint.

Fantastic service and fantastic food. This is a neat little brewery in Idaho springs that also has great beer. I had the east bound and down burger with the fries. It was very filling and left me full. I also had the coffee porter which was amazing and had a great aroma to go with it. This is a definite must stop if you are passing through or staying in the springs. Great job staff you guys were fantastic. I will definitely be coming back.

This is a really excellent restaurant with modern, appealing takes on southern and southwestern comfort classics. We're from New York City where there's no shortage of good food and honestly, this place in comparatively tiny Idaho Springs, Colorado is every bit as good. Highly recommended.

Great Vibe. Good food. Great service (Eduardo was awesome). Beer is okay, sampler was fun.
Falafel is not traditional, but still tasty.
Buffalo Burger was good but not amazing. French fries were delicious.

Recommend this place if in Idaho Springs
