11 Colorado Seafood Buffets Where You Can Eat All You Want And Still Dream About Seconds
I’ll never forget the first time I walked into a Colorado seafood buffet and saw mountains of crab legs glistening under heat lamps, shrimp piled high like treasure, and lobster tails waiting to be devoured.
The air smelled like garlic butter and saltwater dreams, and I knew I’d stumbled onto something special. Living in a landlocked state doesn’t mean you have to give up your ocean cravings.
Whether you’re craving fresh sushi rolls, buttery shellfish, or Cajun boils that make your taste buds dance, these buffets deliver seafood feasts worth every mile. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
1. The Buffet at Monarch Casino Resort Spa (Black Hawk)
Picture this: I drove up to Black Hawk on a Tuesday evening, stomach growling, wondering if the mountain trip would be worth it. The moment I stepped into The Buffet at Monarch Casino Resort Spa, all doubts vanished faster than shrimp cocktail at a wedding.
Open every single day, this place transforms dinner into a seafood spectacular. Lobster tails sit alongside plump crab legs and shrimp varieties that could fill a fisherman’s wildest daydream. The casino buzz adds energy while you crack shells and dip everything in melted butter.
What makes this spot shine is the consistency. Whether you visit on a Monday or Saturday, the seafood spread stays impressive, and the quality never takes a gamble.
2. Centennial Market Buffet at Ameristar Black Hawk
My friend Sarah calls this place “Crab Leg Heaven,” and honestly, she’s not exaggerating. Every Friday through Sunday, Centennial Market Buffet rolls out their dinner spread with a full pound of crab legs included in your ticket price.
Here’s where it gets fun: if one pound doesn’t satisfy your crustacean cravings, you can add more for a small fee. I watched a guy at the next table go for round three, and nobody batted an eye. The weekend-only schedule means they focus their energy on making those three nights absolutely spectacular.
The atmosphere buzzes with excitement as everyone tackles their crab towers, and the cracking sounds create a symphony only seafood lovers understand.
3. Seasons Buffet at The Lodge Casino (Black Hawk)
When The Lodge Casino started running their Daily All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs dinner promo, I practically moved into Black Hawk. Seasons Buffet knows exactly what seafood fanatics want: endless crab legs without judgment or limits.
The posted hours and pricing make planning easy, so you can budget your seafood adventure without surprises. What impressed me most was how they keep the crab legs hot and fresh throughout service, never letting quality slip even during busy nights.
The casino setting adds a playful vibe to your meal. You might win big at the tables, but honestly, unlimited crab legs feels like the jackpot every single time.
4. King Buffet (Arvada)
Forget everything you think you know about suburban buffets. King Buffet in Arvada serves up crawfish, blue crab, mussels, fried fish, and scallops like they’re competing with coastal restaurants, and frankly, they’re winning.
The all-you-can-eat spread stretches wider than my appetite, which is saying something. I love how they mix Asian preparations with classic seafood favorites, creating flavor combinations that surprise and delight. One minute you’re enjoying buttery scallops, the next you’re cracking into spicy crawfish.
The family-friendly atmosphere makes it perfect for introducing kids to adventurous eating. Plus, the Arvada location means you don’t have to trek into the mountains for your seafood fix.
5. Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet (Aurora)
Seven days a week, Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet throws open its doors and invites Aurora to feast like royalty. The combination of sushi bar and hibachi stations means your seafood comes raw, grilled, fried, or however your heart desires.
I’m obsessed with watching the hibachi chefs work their magic, tossing shrimp and scallops with theatrical flair while my plate waits eagerly. Then I wander over to the sushi station for completely different flavors and textures. It’s like getting two restaurants in one visit.
The weekday lunch crowd knows this spot is a steal, but dinner brings out the serious eaters ready to sample everything twice.
6. Hiro Japanese Buffet (Aurora)
Sushi lovers, meet your new obsession. Hiro Japanese Buffet runs an all-you-can-eat sushi and hibachi format that turns every meal into a personal tasting menu where you’re the VIP judge.
The beauty of this place lies in the freedom to experiment. Want to try that weird-looking roll you’d never order off a regular menu? Go for it! Not a fan? Grab something else without wasting money. I’ve discovered half my favorite sushi combinations here simply because I could take risks without financial consequences.
The Aurora location makes it accessible for south metro folks, and the current operating hours accommodate both lunch rushers and leisurely dinner crowds.
7. Hokkaido Sushi (Lafayette)
Lafayette might seem like an unexpected spot for a seafood-heavy all-you-can-eat sushi concept, but Hokkaido Sushi proves that great food finds you anywhere. Their restaurant site confirms they’re open and ready to feed your fish cravings.
What sets Hokkaido apart is the emphasis on quality over quantity, though you certainly get plenty of both. The seafood-focused menu means every roll, every piece of nigiri, and every sashimi slice showcases ocean flavors front and center.
I appreciate how they’ve built a loyal local following in Lafayette. Sometimes the best dining experiences happen in smaller communities where restaurants work harder to impress their neighbors who’ll return week after week.
8. Sushi Katsu (Denver & Greenwood Village)
Two locations mean twice the chances to stuff yourself silly with spectacular sushi. Sushi Katsu operates in both Denver and Greenwood Village, each spot clearly listing their All-You-Can-Eat menu every single day they’re open.
The transparency is refreshing. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “this roll costs extra” nonsense. You know exactly what you’re getting before you sit down, which lets you focus on the important decision: spicy tuna or salmon tempura first?
I’ve bounced between both locations depending on which side of town I’m exploring. The consistency across spots means you can trust the experience no matter which address you choose for your seafood marathon.
9. Chubby Fish Sushi (Thornton)
The name alone makes me smile every time. Chubby Fish Sushi wears its all-you-can-eat identity like a badge of honor, operating daily in Thornton for anyone brave enough to test their sushi capacity.
What I love about this spot is the playful attitude that matches the name. They’re not trying to be fancy or pretentious; they’re here to serve excellent sushi in quantities that’ll make you wonderfully, happily full. The Thornton location serves northern suburbs perfectly, giving folks an excuse to skip the downtown drive.
Fair warning: the name might be cute, but the portions are serious. Come hungry, leave satisfied, dream about coming back tomorrow.
10. Eeny Meeny Sushi Roll (Lakewood)
Tuesday through Sunday, Eeny Meeny Sushi Roll opens its doors in Lakewood and basically dares you to pick a favorite roll. Spoiler alert: you can’t, so you’ll just have to try them all.
The playful name hints at the fun atmosphere inside. Choosing between dozens of sushi options feels less like a dining decision and more like a delicious game where everybody wins. I usually start with the classics to warm up, then venture into specialty territory once I’ve established my baseline.
Lakewood residents have discovered a gem here. The Tuesday through Sunday schedule gives you six opportunities every week to indulge, which feels both generous and slightly dangerous for my waistline.
11. Hook & Reel (Denver – Central Park)
Sometimes you need your seafood with a side of Southern spice and a whole lot of messy, hands-on fun. Hook & Reel brings Cajun seafood boils to Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, complete with an All You Can Eat option that’s basically a party on a plate.
The regular dine-in menu is fantastic, but the all-you-can-eat offering turns a meal into an event. Imagine cracking shells, dunking everything in spicy butter sauce, and reaching for seconds without guilt. The seafood baskets overflow with variety, letting you mix and match your favorites.
Central Park’s modern vibe matches the restaurant’s energy perfectly, making this spot ideal for group celebrations or solo seafood missions.
