“Checking in with a collection of my experiences -- all of which have been resoundingly positive. I especially enjoy some of the appetizers and the happy hour menu, with the Brussel Sprouts & Hummus (pictured) and Calamari coming to mind. For my taste it's the perfect balance between comfort food and upscale, you can tell the menu has been well thought out and that the food items are designed to be a little more interesting and tasty than cut-and-paste bar food, while at the same time the vibe isn't overly pretentious. I think there's something to be said for knowing your lane and not pretending to be something you're not -- and Ironwood Grill does that perfectly. I always feel welcomed, I always feel relaxed, and I never leave hungry. I spent my 50th birthday and myself and all my guests (of which there were many) were well attended to and taken care of. I will continue to be back again and again and feel great about supporting this locally run enterprise.“

“The pizza is pretty good, considering options in Denver. The service leaves much to be desired. The pizza arrived room temperature/cold and not even warm. On the phone manager was very apathetic and refused to make it right. He kept talking over me, even in person, and when I called him out on it he told me literally verbatim that I was a liar. Drove over to the store, returned the cold pizza and got a proper hot pizza with a side of attitude. For a $25 pizza, it should be received hot or replaced.“

“We've ordered from Noodles & Company through DoorDash many times, but this was our first visit to the restaurant in person, and it was a wonderful experience.

One of the things I love most about Noodles & Company is the variety of menu options, especially the gluten-free choices. Everything we've tried has always been fresh, flavorful, and delicious. They offer such a great selection of comfort foods, so there's truly something for everyone.

During our visit, the restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. After a long day of shopping, it was nice to sit down together as a family and enjoy a relaxing meal in a comfortable environment.

The food was fresh, tasty, and exactly what we've come to expect from Noodles & Company. We will definitely continue ordering from them and look forward to dining in again. Highly recommend! 🍜❤“

“We picked up sandwiches to take with us for our trip up to the national park. You can dine in as well. There's a small interior with seating. It's pretty clean inside. The menu has vegetarian and vegan options as well.

I got the spicy chicken and my sister got the soppresata & cheese. The sandwiches were so large that the bag of chips we got went unopened. They cut the sandwiches in half, so we got to eat half of each sandwich. Both tasted delicious. The bread for each sandwich was baked well. The French country was thick and held up to the sauce. The pretzel loaf had a good crust. We ate these for a late lunch up on the mountain after a long hike, and didn't get hungry until the next day. You definitely get your money's worth.

They do give you access to a code-locked bathroom in the parking garage if you're a paying customer. The parking garage is literally just behind the restaurant.“

Edit: Yellow Deli should actually contact the FTC right now and let then know Google is refusing to remove reviews which are clear hate speech against Twelve Tribes.

Deli Waffle is bomb
