What's New at Lombard's Restaurant
Lombard's just rolled out a refreshed menu, and the kitchen is already delivering. Two standout additions that have been turning heads:
The Thai Salad
Fresh, colorful, and built to impress, the Thai Salad comes loaded with mixed greens, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, and crispy wontons — finished with a peanut dressing served on the side. It is the kind of salad that looks as good as it tastes, and it brings a lighter, more contemporary option to the Lombard's lineup that pairs perfectly with a mountain afternoon.
The Sampler Platter
For those who like a little of everything, the Sampler Platter delivers. Crispy chicken tenders, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks arrive together with marinara dipping sauce — a crowd-pleasing spread that works as a starter for the table or a satisfying meal on its own. Comfort food done right, at altitude.
Both dishes are available now. Stop in and try them for yourself.
What Lombard's Has Always Been Known For
The new additions join a menu that Cripple Creek regulars have counted on for years. A few Lombard's staples worth knowing before you go:
Saturday Prime Rib — Lombard's Saturday Prime Rib is a genuine institution. If you are planning a weekend trip to Cripple Creek, building Saturday dinner around a Prime Rib night at Lombard's is a smart move.
Weekend Wings — Friday and Saturday wings are a fan favorite. Great for fueling up before a session on the gaming floor or winding down after one.
All-Day Breakfast — One of the more underrated things about Lombard's is the all-day breakfast. Whether you arrive early or lose track of time on the floor, breakfast is always an option.

Where Lombard's Fits Into a Cripple Creek Visit
Cripple Creek is a small historic gold-rush town in Teller County, Colorado, sitting at 9,494 feet on the southwest flank of Pikes Peak. The drive up from Colorado Springs takes about an hour via Highway 67 — a winding mountain road that rewards you with views before you even hit the casino floor.
Dining options in Cripple Creek are limited compared to a larger city, which is exactly why having a full-service restaurant like Lombard's on-property matters. You do not have to go hunting for a meal. It is right there inside Double Eagle Hotel & Casino, open daily, with a menu that now gives you even more reason to sit down.
For guests staying in one of the 158 hotel rooms at Double Eagle, Lombard's is the obvious choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For day-trippers making the drive from Colorado Springs or Pueblo, it rounds out the visit in a way that a snack bar or food court simply cannot.
Why Double Eagle Guests Keep Coming Back to Lombard's
General Manager Amy Witt, who has been with Double Eagle for 22 years, puts it simply: guests are not a number here. That philosophy extends to the dining experience at Lombard's. People come to Double Eagle for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions — and Lombard's is part of what makes those visits feel complete.
The restaurant sits inside a property that was Cripple Creek's first Vegas-style casino, opened in 1996. The arch ceilings, the stained glass tiles, the atmosphere — it carries through from the gaming floor into the dining room. Lombard's does not feel like an afterthought. It feels like a destination.
