Best Green Chile Cheeseburger 

"The green chile cheeseburger at Steuben's has been on the menu since Josh Wolkon opened the restaurant in 2006, and there's no plan to ever change that. The original inspiration came from a manager at the now-closed Vesta Dipping Grill, who tapped into his New Mexican roots to bring a taste of his childhood to the Denver spot, adding chopped Hatch green chiles and American cheese to the beef patty. The whole thing comes on a soft brioche bun, and you can add any combo of tomato, onion, mayo, lettuce and mustard. But even without the accoutrements, the balance of smoky chiles, melty cheese and fatty beef make this burger a winner ." - Westword, Best of Denver, April 2023

20 Restaurants that scream "Denver"

"Classic American is the best way to describe what’s served at this restaurant. Secret Sauce—the hospitality group behind neighboring pan-Asian spot Ace Eat Serve—opened Steuben’s in 2006. It’s a place for solid comfort food, from pot roast to fried chicken to green chile cheeseburgers, which are a staple in the Denver diet. Steuben’s staying power lies in consistency: It kept its original menu intact save for the addition of a popular hot chicken. The restaurant is also great for kids, with a playful pint-sized menu that includes a milk flight." - Open Table, The Denver Greats, 3/9/2023
