When they say DIA is in the middle of nowhere, they MEAN it.  It's on 56 sq. miles of nothing but prairie.

Altho the airport has no fancy restaurants, Pour La France (Concourse B, also in the main terminal) is about the nicest onsite. There's also a BBQ place called Lefty's that people have complimented.

Offsite, there are a bunch of chain motels on Tower Rd. and at least one has a restaurant.  There's a steak house called "Emil-ene's" off Smith Rd. near Chambers.  I can't think of another place less than ~25 miles away from the terminal.

There is a Wolfgang Pucks in Concourse B, I believe.  Also, Emileenes (sp?) steak house is nearby on Smith Road - it's not fancy like Sullivans downtown, but the steaks are just as good.
