“Have visited several times before. Last Thursday we tried your lunch for the first time. I had biscuits & gravy with spicy sausage and eggs over, huge and delicious. My wife ordered the veggie burger. Her salad was brought out, then 5 minutes later was advised they were out of it! She re-ordered the pot roast, but the brocolli was over cooked and the carrots were dry. Other than that, was good. There was a problem at check out with the purchase of gift cards, but was shortly resolved. We look forward to visiting again in the New Year, but only for breakfast or dinner.“

“We called for a reservation for a large group of 30 with just a few hours notice, the reservation quickly tuned into more like 50 of us for a Poms state celebration. They took exceptional care of us on short notice, Hailey was our server our group also had Adrian assisting the other half of us. They were fantastic helped us celebrate a birthday as well as winning State with dessert, took orders between multiple parties and split checks like it was easy and were so pleasant with what could have been a very overwhelming and stressful to any server. The Manager Whitney went above and beyond to help us celebrate and that is rare these days! Definitely would recommend this restaurant and establishment 🤩🤩🤩“

“Mountain Pass Sports Bar delivered a great experience from the moment we walked in. Trinity seated us immediately, which was a perfect start.

Our server, Phoenix, was outstanding—warm, personable, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. Phoenix was quick to take our drink and food order and checked in just the right amount of times making sure we were doing great.

We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, taco salad, and chili. Everything came out in generous portions and was very satisfying. The Brussels sprouts were especially good—crispy and flavorful.

Overall, excellent service, solid food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I've been eating at this restaurant for many years and, believe it or not, I've never had a bad meal...ever. It is packed 7 days a week and there's a reason why. Beyond the great variety of food with breakfast all day (139 menu items {not including 29 drink}). the help is absolutely incredible. You can tell they love the manager, Carlos, because they function as one big family. I'm 72 and have eaten, through my career, in countless restaurants in numberous cities and for the money (quite reasonable) this is my #1 favorite of them all (including many 5 star, exclusive restaurants. You won't find Beef Wellington, Duck à l’Orange,, Lobster Thermidor, Seafood Paella, Foie Gras., or Caviar on their menu, however; Escargot if you love real scratch Mexican/American cooking“

“went with a friend. never again! was told it would be a 30min wait it looked not very busy. waited 45min to be seated. (The host seemed like she did not like her job at all) i ordered the avocado toast w/ side of bacon. the arugula piled high ruined the taste of meal, the tomatoes sliced where not ripe too hard to chew, the bacon was hard like it had been sitting around for a while. and the bread was thick and dry with barely any avocado. my friends meal all American breakfast cold potatoes and not good food she barely ate any of it. no apologies just an over worked waitress. ive been to syrup (different place) before way better food and service worth the extra drive!!!!“

“I ordered the burger and the sweet potato fries (which we were told about), it was a very good portion, my pic I had already eaten about a third of the fries before deciding I was going to do a review. Son had the steak frites and it filled up a teenager. My wife had the cobb salad, the salad was huge and took a full to go box for the left over portion. The kitchen does close at 945pm and we ordered about 930pm and everything came out great. We spent about $18-26 a person.

The place has a very cool feel, all the plants/trees are real which was a cool surprise. The string lights create a cool vibe for the place inside a hotel but it doesn't feel like it do to the open all the way up view. Our waitress Riche was very polite even as we knew we were arriving as everyone was trying to wrap up and close but gave great recommendations on the choices. Snapped a photo from the 4th floor over looking the dinning / hang out area. The bar area looked to seat 8-10 maybe, I didn't get a pic of it but had at least a couple good size TVs with sports on.“

“If you are looking for a place that consistently delivers amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere, T Street Kitchen is easily one of the best spots around Anschutz campus. Every visit feels like a treat. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, the ingredients are always fresh, and every dish I have tried has been packed with flavor.

What really stands out is the balance between creativity and comfort. The food feels elevated without losing the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care that you have a great experience.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it perfect whether you are meeting friends, grabbing a casual meal, or just stopping in because you know the food will be great. It is one of those rare places where everything comes together: excellent food, great service, and a space that makes you want to come back again and again. The strawberry margs are legit!!

Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
