A long long time ago I worked retail on Colorado Boulevard and frequented Crown Burgers almost daily. It’s been a while since I returned, despite now biking to work and back daily only three blocks away.

I was across the street at Bova Furniture ordering some lamps and popped into Crown Burgers for lunch. Still the same great place run by the same friendly Greek family after 20 years.

My usual order, the quarter pounder, has a unique sauce (Greek inspired,) and another favorite of mine is the pastrami burger.

From the Westword Review:

The casual, kitschy Crown Burger has an odd Greek-American hamburger-stand menu that includes giant omelettes, cheeseburgers, fries and gyros, as well as a monster ham-and-pastrami hand grenade called the Royal Burger, all of which you can eat in or order as you drive through. That’s the best way to grab Crown’s best offering: a breakfast burrito overstuffed with ingredients taken straight from the long line of flat grills in the galley, and oozing with grease.

Crown Burgers is also celebrating their 20th anniversary with a fine selection of Crown Burgers t-shirts! Why spend $35 for a shirt at Pacific Sunwear when you can support a local business and have a shirt with a fun and original logo.

They’re located at 2192 South Colorado Blvd just south of Evans. Full menu at crownburgers.org
