Airport Eats: Smashburger

We had another early morning layover at Denver International Airport, so we ate breakfast at Smashburger.

We've had Smashburger years ago while in Phoenix, but it was the first time we went to a Smashburger for breakfast!

Breakfast Smashburger

The Breakfast Smashburger was loaded high with bacon, egg, and cheese, and served with tots.  

Meat, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich

You can also get a breakfast sandwich without the burger.  

If non-breakfast foods are what you're craving, they do offer a menu of various burgers, as well as wraps, chicken tenders, and more.  

Smashburger was a convenient stop in DEN for breakfast!

Airport Eats: Shake Shack at Denver International Airport

After arriving at Denver International Airport on the red eye, we grabbed breakfast at Shake Shack.  They do offer burgers for breakfast, but they also have breakfast sandwiches!

We got the Shack Burger (lettuce, tomato, cheese, ShackSauce), SmokeShack (cheese, bacon, cherry peppers, ShackSauce), Bacon, Egg N' Cheese Sandwich, Fries, and Tots!

Burgers for breakfast is a bit unusual, at least for us, but I guess when you're on vacation, anything goes!

Shake Shack was super ideal because it was not too busy and we could easily find a table.

Airport Eats: Voodoo Doughnut at Denver International Airport

After arriving at Denver International Airport, we wanted a bite to eat before our next flight, so we stopped at Voodoo Doughnut for some snacks.

Their first shop opened in Oregon in 2003, and in my opinion, they were the first doughnut shop to start what has since become a craze in gourmet / specialty doughnuts with fun toppings and creative names.  

Marshall Mathers

Marshall Mathers is topped with loads of Mini M&Ms.

Oh Captain, My Captain

Oh Captain, My Captain is topped with lots of Cap'n Crunch cereal.

Old Dirty Bastard

Old Dirty Bastard is a fave - with chocolate frosting, chocolate cream-filled cookies, and peanut butter drizzle.  PB and chocolate is my fave combo!

After two decades, it's nice to see Voodoo Doughnut still going strong, with numerous locations throughout the country, and that their signature doughnuts have remained consistent.

Airport Eats: Pour La France!

During our stopover at Denver International Airport, we had breakfast at Pour La France!

Smoked Bacon and Gruyere Petite Quiche

The Colorado Omelette

Kids Scrambled Eggs with Potatoes and Bacon

Kids Cinnamon Sugar Crepe with Fresh Fruit

Breakfast was actually quite good and satisfying.  The Petite Quiche is indeed petit, but it was very delish, and since it was accompanied by a croissant and potatoes, the entire meal was very filling.

The Colorado Omelette was stuffed with poblanos, green chiles, and goat cheese.

The kids meals were generously-sized!

Pour La France! was a great stop for breakfast while waiting for our connecting flight back home!

Airport Eats: Elway's at Denver International Airport

While on a layover at Denver International Airport, we dined at Elway's.

Southwest Skillet

Kids Petite Smash Burger

Mile High Omelet

Kids Macaroni & Cheese

I had the Southwest Skillet, which included chorizo, potatoes, roasted poblanos, black beans, cheese, tomatillo salsa, and eggs.  It was hearty and tasty.

The Mile High Omelet consisted of mushrooms, spinach, bacon, and aged cheddar cheese.

A kids menu is offered with everything at just $8, with the exception of a 4oz filet for $18.

Service was excellent.  Our server was very friendly, and another server, who accidentally tilted one of the kids' plates as he was serving thus losing some fries, ended up giving us a brand new (huge) batch of fries!

Elway's was a great place to dine in between flights.

Airport Eats - New Belgium Hub at DEN

While on our layover at Denver International Airport, we ate breakfast at New Belgium Hub.

Mexican-Style Skillet

Denver Mile High Breakfast Burrito

Pancakes Hub Style

The Mile High Breakfast Burrito was huge!  It was stuffed with chorizo, peppers, onions, eggs, and cheese.  So delish!

The Pancakes were whole-wheat, with juice mixed in to give it a softer texture than typical pancakes.

The Mexican-Style Skillet consisted of eggs, chorizo, peppers, potatoes, and onions.

Service was really good, and I'd definitely eat at New Belgium Hub again if I find myself hungry at Denver International Airport.
