The Drunken Onion
get & go kitchen

Ben, Just wanted to let you know we loved our first experience at The Drunken Onion today. We were completely starved and numb from tubing in the river, we needed food now! You provided us with wonderful service, the lady that greeted us did a great job of explaining the menu and what to expect in the future. And then best of all our food was delicious. We had meatloaf and mashers, a portabello wrap, some slaw and a cookie. Looking forward to trying some more of your yummy creations. Thanks for a great meal.

I was on the Men’s Journal shoot at the rodeo last weekend and I just wanted
to let you know how amazing the food was. The fish tacos were amazing and
the guacamole was the best I have ever had! Any way to score the recipe?
We are all CRAVING it back in NYC.

What goes best with 30 degree temps & blowing sand…ben’s chicken noodle and carrot ginger soup! Thanks so much for keeping me going through the night at this year’s 24 hours of moab – a delicious reward after each brutal lap.

We could not have been more pleased with the quality of service, food,
creativity and professionalism that Drunken Onion Catering provided on our
wedding day. The staff worked closely with us to create a menu and service
plan that not only met, but greatly exceeded our vision and expectations.
Countless wedding guests raved about the excellent food and service and we
will most certainly recommend and utilize their services in the future.
Plus, our families were freed to truly enjoy themselves on this special day.

Yesterday I had to prepare lunch for a group (total of 20 people) that was in doing a site visit from our Corporate Office. I ordered from the Drunken Onion, Ben prepared a beef stroganoff, Caesar salad, homemade brownies and cookies – the food was EXCELLENT, most everyone went up for seconds. Ben worked with the time that was best for me to pick up the food and then all I had to do was heat it. I know I will be using Ben’s service again, if any of you are needing to provide lunch or dinner I highly recommend the Drunken Onion.

Ben and the staff at Drunken Onion went above and beyond my expectations
on my wedding day! The planning was done remotely because Steamboat Springs
was our destination wedding location. From the beginning, Ben had me feeling excited about the menu and at ease with all the planning details. As an event planner and designer I was reassured that everything would be taken care of I knew that Ben would make it
happen! He worked with all of our special requests and combined his creativity and
experience to create a fabulous menu. It was so nice to just relax, sit back and enjoy
the day while the staff worked the event flawlessly. I was so impressed with the
professionalism, the service, decor, food -the whole package! We made one of the best wedding decisions to work with Drunken Onion, I can’t recommend them enough.

We wanted to thank you for making our son’s wedding weekend a beautiful event. The rehearsal get together at The Trillium House proved to be a great time thanks to the delicious food prepared by you and your staff. Your flexibility and desire to accommodate us was so appreciated. Everyone was so impressed with the fabulous dinner the evening of the wedding out at Columbine. The food was done to perfection. How you were able to deliver such a great meal, prepared in a kitchen you had never worked in before was beyond us. All of the staff needs to be commended for the attentive service they provided and wonderful attitude throughout the evening. We wish you continued success in the future, as you most certainly deserve it! Thanks again for everything.

*We selected Ben from the Drunken Onion to do the catering for our
wedding because of his ability to tailor the menu to our exact needs, offer
a fair price and demonstrate a true passion for food and flavor. In our
first meeting with Ben we gave the guidelines of wanting something
'different than the standard beef or chicken option’ of most weddings. Ben
had us drooling as he described a Southwestern meal that he could put
together for our guests. The meal that Ben created was colorful, unique and
absolutely delicious. Guests from all parts of the US and the UK raved
about the food at our wedding. We continue to receive comments that it was
the best and most memorable meal that they had ever had at a wedding. Ben
and his staff were professional and ensured that everything went smoothly
from the setup, to the meal, to the cleanup. * *We were so impressed with Ben as we planned our wedding that we decided to
have him cater our rehearsal dinner as well. He put together a delicious
meal of barbeque pork and chicken for our casual rehearsal dinner. He took
all of the hassle out of our party by dropping off the food well before the
guests arrived and picking everything up the next morning. The food was
fantastic and our wedding guests continue to ask where they can find such
great barbeque. *The entire experience of working with the Drunken Onion was great. We
would highly recommend working with them for any occasion big or small.*

If you’re looking for a quick and easy, reasonably priced, gourmet lunch or dinner – my favorite is Steamboat’s newest ‘get-and-go kitchen’, the Drunken Onion. Besides a colorful and tasty array of wraps, sandwiches and salads to satisfy your lunchtime craving, Owner and Chef, Ben Stroock, has prepared four huge coolers full of fresh, ‘heat-and-serve’ gourmet dinners!

Allison Finn, Steamboat Springs, CO

Just a quick note to thank you for a great job catering the wedding. We had many compliments on the food, especially the prime rib. Your staff was very professional and courteous. Amazing job cleaning up!!! The site was a little unusual and we really appreciate your willingness to bring our vision to reality and help us put together what we think was a magical event. Doug and Lauren were so happy! Thanks again for your hard work and please pass along our gratitude to your staff for a job well done.

WOW! What a Thanksgiving FEAST we just had! My husband, son and I are from MS and were not sure how we were going to celebrate Thanksgiving away from home and family. Having all the traditional “fixin’s” helped make it feel like home. What a special day we have had – we have a lot to be thankful for! thank you for helping to make it special!

Ben and Onion Crew:

I have eaten at your joint a number of times and always been impressed. I recently had your clam chowdah and damn—it was tasty. I usually order New England Clam Chowder when it is on a menu so I have tasted quite a few—some are way salty, some are too fishy or not savory enough—yours was just right especially on Steamboat’s first snowy day of the season—Bring on the chowdah, bring on the powdah!

John Cardillo, Steamboat Springs, CO

I wanted to write to express our appreciation for the meals you provided to our group during our recent trip to Steamboat. In addition to the food being absolutely fantastic, from the appetizers, to the sandwich fixings, to the amazing full dinners, the convenience of being able to stay in our house rather than going out allowed for a much more intimate experience with our guests.

Your professionalism, combined with the high-quality food, will certainly have us coming back again next year.

What FABULOUS food. We loved every bite! You have a marvelous venue there. Perfect location for coming off the mountain and grabbing dinner.
