“Always a pleasurable experience at The Butchery. A wide selection of entrees to satisfy everyone. The steaks are top notch. Exquisite atmosphere.”
“The owner of the restaurant just called me a working class driver (in a tone that sounded like he was talking to his slave from a throne) for asking him about a wait time on a delivery order for uber. I don't think my son or I will be eating here for a 7th time, we will take our hard earned lower class money to Yak & Yetti for some better made food and company. People like him that are dismissive of another persons right to service based on financial class will come back as a snake...”
“OMG!!! I still have to try something that I don't like here, but y'all, the Carne Asada taco is the best on earth!!! Since my first time here this became my favorite spot for tacos! Hands down the best I've EVER had in my life and I'm not joking!! (same goes for the location in LaFayette). These guys know what they are doing! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!! You won't regret it! Cocktails (Mojito, Dama Maria and Margaritas) are amazing too, and also the appetizers (Guacamole and Queso Fondido) are to die for! And I heard amazing things about the Fingerling Potatoes which I'll try them tonight! We are here basically once a week! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!”

“I get their breakfast burritos all the time and eat it on my way to classes. its amazing and a reasonable price. they also ussually get it out super fast too, but I ussually come in at odd times”
“Took the whiskey tour at Talnua distillery and had a fabulous time for Scott's birthday. the drinks, the tour, the history, and most importantly, the staff are phenomenal. I highly recommend checking this place out.”
“Excellent place! Great atmosphere! Great food and drink! Great service! I would highly recommend! My fiancé and I discovered The Arvada Tavern on an impromptu date night and really enjoyed ourselves there. Can’t wait to go back! Don’t take my word for it, go and check it out and see for yourself.”

“This bakery is on a completely different level. Their pastries feel like elevated versions of childhood favorites, especially the Twix-inspired bars that somehow manage to be both nostalgic and insanely refined. The seven-layer maple buttercream cakes were rich without being overwhelming, dipped in chocolate with a perfect balance of sweetness and depth. And the streusel—easily some of the best I’ve ever had—was buttery, crisp, and packed with flavor, adding the perfect texture to every bite. Every item felt thoughtfully crafted, indulgent, and unapologetically decadent. This is the kind of place that ruins ordinary bakeries for you—in the best way.”

“A favorite for our whole family. We have used Breadwinners Catering for years and when cafe opened it became the perfect spot for business lunches, family brunch and now dinner. With CoVid, finding a restaurant with outdoor seating and spacious table separation is difficult. They have 2 outdoor patios and indoor seating is adjusted for our safety.”

“Bad daddy’s is my fav spot to come to when I’m thinking of burgers or salads! The small salad is an amazing portion and the bacon cheeseburger is to die for! Jalapeño bacon for the win, definitely recommend this place! 👍🏽”

“We love this place. It’s always quick, always fresh, they are always kind. We come multiple times a week sometimes.
Recommend the Dong Houng platter. It was enough to feed myself, my partner and brother in one meal (both of which are large men with big appetites).
The smoothies are yummy too if you want a treat.
Highly recommend!!! We love Lee and Tracy.”
“Luki was busy when we came on a Sunday but we got a table inside. They have outdoor seating too. They have flights, which I appreciate when trying new beer. Great priced beer! The atmosphere is pretty chill, though they allow kids. So every table had kids... I'm happy they had music which helped mute out the talking. Beer was interesting. I love the creativity. My favorite this time was squeezed the day. Would come again.”
“I am very picky about my Chinese food and this place is my favorite for take out or delivery. They are one of the few places you don’t have to order on an app for delivery. Food is delicious and fresh. They are quick, friendly and efficient. Thank you 🙏
I don’t understand anyone who gives a bad review. I love the orange chicken and shrimp with broccoli in black bean sauce. Their spicy mustard is homemade and authentic.”
“A friend wanted to meet for dinner and mentioned tapas. Doing a quick search I came across Olde Town Social, and my friend agreed it looked like a solid option.
When I arrived, my friend was already there and had ordered an old fashion and he was quite happy with his selection and told me it was made with a smoke infusion in front of him.
When we sat down our server was prompt without hovering. He was quite engaging and we quickly established he was the owner (I am not always quick on the uptake). He answered our questions on the menu and we found out he has a history as a chef, and the menu showed it. We ordered the shishito peppers, the wedge salad and the ribs. I always love a good wedge salad, and this one didn't disappoint, in part because it was already prepared to be shared. The ribs were definitely a highlight and surprising - a unique dish that I will order again :) We finished up with some sliders.
I also appreciated that they have live music, movie nights, trivia nights and more. I will definitely be returning - solo, with friends and with out of towners.”

“Best hot pot that I've had in a very long time! Everything was fresh and the service was great. We'll come back!”
“We went for lunch or the first time today and had the amazing lunch. We eachhad the lunch special, which includes a specialty Pizza and a salad of your choice for starting at $14.50. I had the funguy Pizza, which is a Mushroom Pizza. It was absolutely amazing. I ordered mine without arugula , as I do not perfer that. It was so good that I ordered a full size to take home for dinner. Our server was Jordan and she was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside I have to say is that their drinks were just okay. We had a Italian spritzer that was kind of tart, and then I ordered a Vodka martini, which they said they do not commonly make, and I could tell why... I sent it back and ended up getting a glass of red wine but the pinot noir was mediocre at best. I think management should up their Wine selection and quality, if they're going to pair with Italian dishes. I would definitely go back and order more Pizza and the meatballs look amazing as well.”

“My husband and I have driven past this place several times and somehow overlooked it. Saw some reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Super impressed. Our waiter was so personable, the food was so yummy and so were the house margaritas. The latter are made from scratch and you can tell. The atmosphere is what I'd call basic but what impressed me was the cleanliness. The space was spotless. We'll definitely be back.”
“Got stuck while traveling thru Denver. My brother took me to GB Fish & Chips and this place had it going on!! The food and drinks were epic and our server Jess!! It just doesn’t get any better!! Made a bad trip better with their food and atmosphere!! Thanks Jess!!”

“I attended a wedding reception here. It was a beautiful evening in a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly. The fajita and enchilada buffet was delicious.”
“Oh honey, let me paint you a picture…
You walk in and it’s like*BAM*you’ve been emotionally transported to grandma’s house… but not your grandma, someone else’s grandma. The one with aggressively dim chandeliers, dusty landscape paintings, and family photos that may or may not be watching you judge the bread basket. It’s nostalgic, it’s confusing, it’s a little haunted, but she’s committed to the bit, and honestly? Respect.
This place has been around forever, and you can feel it. Same recipes, same energy, same “we’re not changing for anybody” attitude. Iconic. Stubborn. A little chaotic.
Now let’s get into my evening of sacrifice.
I ordered the chicken Marsala with homemade noodles and a salad, because I believe in indulgence AND patience,and yes, girl, it took a minute. But I sat there, sipping my drink, minding my business, growing spiritually.
Now, let’s talk food.
I ordered the chicken Marsala with homemade noodles and a salad because I believe in treating myself and testing my patience. Yes, it took a minute, but darling, I wanted it, so I stayed seated and emotionally stable (for once).
Meanwhile, I’m ALSO ordering a small pepperoni pizza for my couch-goblin of a friend who was like, “I refuse to leave my emotional support sofa… but bring me food.” The drama. The audacity. The hunger. Don’t worry, I absolutely ate first. I have boundaries and self-respect.
Service started a little… interpretive. I think Tom was supposed to care about me, but spiritually he was elsewhere. Enter Cecily, stage left, who picked up the situation and said, “don’t worry babe, I got you.” and she DELIVERS. We love a redemption arc.
Now THE dish: chicken Marsala.
MISS THING. Would you just look at her?! Rich, a little spicy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness with mushrooms living their best life. Paired with those homemade noodles and that sauce? I was ready to propose. It has to be the best thing on the menu. I refuse to believe otherwise.
The salad? …she tried.
Not offensive, not impressive. Just… there. It existed. It participated. The spicy Italian dressing had a little kick (because apparently I crave chaos), but the tomato was wilted like last night’s bad decisions. And the bread? Good, but not “grandma woke up at 5am and baked this with love” good. More like “she knows a guy who orders in bulk.” Let’s be honest.
Overall?
A chaotic little experience wrapped in nostalgia and butter.
Final verdict: 3.5 stars.
Would I return? For that Marsala? I’d crawl back in heels
Side note, darling: if you stroll in and the soup of the day just happens to be Italian wedding soup, congratulations you’ve won. Do yourself a favor, ditch the sad little salad you were pretending to want. get the soup. Trust me, it’s the main character.”

“Interesting concept restaurant - I’d describe it as Chipotle but Mediterranean food. There are some ‘curated’ bowls and salads if you don’t want to pick your own meat/veggies and accomplishments to make a pita sandwich or bowl. Nice selection of different drinks including a cucumber mint that was really tasty add to the nice strong plain ice tea. About $20 though for a salad bowl and drink. Lots of options, many vegetarian. I like that there were lentils as well as rice for a starch and the sauces and toppings were fresh and good. Pita chips were extra- it would be nice if one or two were provided for salads. It’s very busy starting at about 11:30 and it’s not many tables. Most people seem to do take out.”
“I've been drinking their coffee for last 5 years. I order their beans every now and then (I live in Texas but always stop by whenever I'm in Colorado to visit my family). I really appreciate their customer service. Last bag of beans were so bad and I knew that was not their norm. I felt that they needed to know. They were quick to investigate why it was a bad batch and apologized. They sent me a bag of their new freshly roasted beans. Thank you and I'll see you in summer when I come up for a visit, have a cortado ready for me.”
“Came here for my birthday dinner as they had to buy one get one deal. Didn’t know that it was buy one get one of the same meal until after we had ordered, but they honored the coupon anyways. Food is a bit pricey, but very fresh and our waitress Monica was amazing!”

“Amazingly delicious treats and deli delights can be found here. So good I went twice in one week. Definitely will be back. Very kind family owned and operated. Reasonable prices and top quality.”
“We love this neighborhood spot! We've been most recently for coffee & breakfast and was able to jump on wifi, and get productive. I've had client meetings here, & we bring our kids for dinner. The seasonal cocktail menu is my jam, & the one thing we must order every time is the fried mushrooms!”

“love coming to Jake's on any day! I especially love going there on Thursday and Friday nights for karaoke and every other Tuesday for open Mic night! the staff is fabulous, drinks are fair-priced, enclosed patio, upfront parking for bikes. The food is better than any bar I've ever eaten at. (any of the cheese steaks) love this place!”
“ASHLEY WAS SOOO WONDERFUL AND HANDLED MY PROBLEM. SHE IS "THE BEST" AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS THERE BECAUSE OF HER AND HER GREAT PERSONALITY!!!!!!!”
“carne empanada was incredibly delicious, it came with a chimichurri that had amazing flavor. the al pastor has huge pieces of pork belly that were so tender. The quesabirria was very underwhelming, very small amount of meat that didn’t provide much flavor nor did the consome, honestly just tasted like tortilla.”

“So disappointed in my tuna sub tonight !! No tuna in it at all it was so small worst one I’ve ever had. But then again, my sister, reminded me you guys are getting sued because your tuna sucks. Not tuna at all. Never going back. And I will remind all my coworkers not to go there. Very disappointed !!!”

“Went for my hubby's birthday with friends. He got the moist brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese he said it was delicious 😋. I got the half bird with green beans they have bacon very yummy, I liked the bird parts very juicy but the hubby ate the rest he said the breast part wasn't as juicy. Maybe next time I try sandwich. Sometimes the employees walk around and give samples that was great. Definitely would like to go back again sometime. The employees were also very pleasant. Nice big tables to eat at with sauce options.”
“The order taker Ryan was amazing! He gave us a 10% discount without even asking if we were senior citizens! That was very thoughtful! The food was extremely delicious. Hot, tasteful, and plenty of toppings! This restaurant is very small so the atmosphere is not so important to me. There were plenty of tables to be sat at and it was very clean. My husband and I both had a pleasant experience and we will be back. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as you won't regret it.”
