Elway's DIA - Denver
Who says airport food always has to be of the grab and go variety? Not Elway's steakhouse, that's for certain. The famed Colorado powerhouse, with additional locations in downtown Denver, Cherry Creek and Vail, specializes in steakhouse fare, from USDA steaks and gourmet burgers to fresh seafood and salads.
Longtime friends John Elway and Tim Schmidt teamed up for this local steakhouse chain based in Colorado. It's named in honor of Elway, who's a popular Denver fixture and NFL Hall of Fame inductee, former star quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and general manager/executive vice president of football operations for the Broncos.
Early morning favorites are steak and eggs, a classic Denver omelet and a chicken fried steak burrito. During brunch, guests may go for the build-your-own omelets, eggs Benedict, lobster BLT or signature burger.

Guests may choose from a 16-ounce New York strip, 22-ounce bone-in ribeye and 28-ounce Porterhouse. Not in the mood for steak? Solid choices like short rib with mashed potatoes, half roasted chicken and prime beef enchiladas should fit the bill.
