The Black Hawk Hotel will be welcoming a new restaurant as its next-door neighbor very soon. The Carter House Market & Café will be located on the adjoining side of the historic Black Hawk Hotel. According to the restaurant's website, the eatery will have a deli counter with sandwiches, salads, and pressed juice.

"We hope this concept meets folks where they are in COVID and post-COVID times; farm to table becomes farm to lunchbox, to pantry, to picnic, to party! It’s our goal to bring good quality food wherever you are."
