Set in a 19th Century house, the maze-like Yak & Yeti is an Arvada tradition for buffet lunch or family dinner. Comforting Indian curries and Tibetan dumplings are served alongside house-brewed beers, hot chai, and mango lassies.

The southwest corner of Yukon and Ralston Road used to be a Texaco Service Station back in the day. A few performance-minded souls even had the audacity to add a four-barrel carburetor to their vehicle. Fast forward 60 years and the building remains, along with service — bar service, that is. With smoked wings, sandwiches, burgers, and more, there's plenty of eating and drinking to be done here nowadays.

With a strong focus on community outreach and charity, this Olde Town brewery offers seasonal beers, craft cocktails, and small plates in a casual, industrial setting.

The Arvada Tavern is Olde Town’s real hidden gem, with its speakeasy style dating back to 1933 just after the repeal of prohibition. Now the bar offers fine food, vintage cocktails, and a seriously fun tiki night every Tuesday. See also music upstairs (through the phone booth) on weekends.

Great for kids, but also a date night, this cereal-only restaurant sells hard-to-find boxes and cleverly combines bowls to create mashups like Unicorn Poop, made with Lucky Charms, Trix, and Fruit Loops with marshmallows, whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, and strawberry milk. Coffee, milkshakes, and collectibles are available as well.

Arvada’s casual Belgian-style frites shop was inspired by its European predecessors. The frites are hand-cut, cooked twice, and tossed with sea salt. Served piping hot in paper cones, their sauces include ketchup, mayonnaise, and peanut butter. They are best enjoyed in the bier garden.

Named after Adam Kline, Arvada's first recipient of a beer license in 1933, Kline Beer Hall welcomes guests with a lineup of 58 rotating taps paired with house sausages in Olde Town. Dishes like the buffalo fried cauliflower and spicy polish sausage keep customers coming back for more.

This chirpy, counter-service chicken join was born in Vail and has since spread throughout the metro area. Birds come crisped and roasted and sides include macaroni pie and quinoa salad.

For more than 20 years, this quaint family-owned establishment has crafted baked goods with great care and ingredients. A dog-friendly patio allows guests to enjoy breakfast — served all day — and lunch. The menu includes serious sandwich stacks and a garden salad list.

This family-owned fixture may not look glamorous in its shopping center space, but it has been serving sushi and other traditional Japanese fare for more than 25 years here. With glowing fish tanks, the menu is filled with fresh, high-quality ingredients, presented in sashimi, nigiri, and roll form.

A local favorite, OMG Donuts bakes light and fluffy doughnuts that are often already sold out by mid-morning. With a variety of fresh treats, favorites at this long beloved bakery include apple fritters, long Johns, and twists.
