Steamies Burger Bar
300 W Colorado Ave #1b, Telluride, CO
Crema's Take
“Steamies punches way above the typical burger-bar weight with creative sauces like wasabi pesto and blueberry aioli that elevate their elk sliders and buffalo burgers into something genuinely memorable. Their coffee bar delivers serious specialty drinks—a dirty chai that locals rave about—making it the rare mountain town spot where you can grab an excellent espresso drink alongside lunch, whether that's a standout chicken sandwich or a full breakfast burrito. The whole vibe feels refreshingly unpretentious for a Telluride location: warm service, a menu that actually surprises, and honest-to-goodness good food at fair prices that doesn't sacrifice quality.”

Granted, a quiet night in town but we couldn’t have enjoyed dinner at Steamies any more! A great range of dining options but we opted for a Buffalo burger and the Elk sliders - the Elk sliders are my new “favourite thing” - smoky, moist and delicious! Sides were generous. A great drinks menu including beers from the Telluride Brewery. No table wait, efficient service at the counter and food freshly prepared and delivered to your table. A great playlist of 80’s UK chart music (Smiths, The Cure, Blondie etc) made for a great evening.
Best Burger In Telluride! I also discovered they have a ton of sandwiches that are to die for. (Like their chicken sandos!) This food is an absolute must try when in town. They have healthy salads, delish milkshakes, tasty cocktails, and so much more. Great breakfast options too!
On vacation and staying in Ouray. Visited Telluride and wanted a quick bite so stopped here. Throughout my colorado trip, i’ve had mediocre food with high prices and just ok food overall. However, this place is the highlight of my trip in terms of food. The fancy restaurants around town couldn’t cut it and this burger joint surpassed them in terms of food quality and pricing. I had the yeti burger and my date had the colossal with fries. Absolutely everything was delicious. And the prices were REASONABLE, not crazy like the other local restaurants. The service was great too with a good selection of sauces available and food options. I wish this kind of food quality was more common in this area. 10/10 recommend.
Breakfast was so tasty, they have beakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches. Steamies also had a coffee bar with iced coffee, hot coffee, hot cocoa and mochas! We got a dirty chai that was phenomenal. Opens pretty early and has cute outdoor seating.
This is a great burger bar. The sauce selection is perfect with a few unique choices, like wasabi pesto, blueberry, ketchup, bacon mustard, and chipotle aïoli. The guy I spoke with behind the cash register was super accommodating and also very friendly and the food turned out. Perfect I got the Zonie and it’s everything I wanted. The side of crinkle fries was a healthy portion as well. Would recommend this spot.
