“Wow! Raj and his team at Shri Ganesh are adding tremendous value to the Colorado Springs culinary scene—one of the best meals I’ve had in a while! We went out for a birthday celebration, and let’s just say I didn’t hold back on ordering. We enjoyed a variety of dishes: Vegetable Samosa, Chana Chaat, Butter Chicken Makhani, Salmon Saag, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Gajarka Halwa (a carrot dessert). Every single dish was fantastic! The samosas were massive and beautifully prepared. Chana Chaat was a new experience for me, but the chickpeas were flavorful and truly unique. Both curries were the best I’ve had at a restaurant—bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Notably, the salmon portions were generous and perfectly prepared. The Gajarka Halwa was also new to me, but it provided the perfect touch of sweetness to wrap up the meal. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this place more. The food is phenomenal, with every dish hitting the mark. The service was great—Raj waited on us himself and offered helpful recommendations. The atmosphere was wonderful too; it’s a spacious spot, so it never felt crowded. Plus, Shri Ganesh is locally owned, and running a restaurant is no small feat. With so many chain restaurants in Colorado Springs, supporting local gems like this is so important. It’s the kind of place our community should support for elevating our culinary scene. Shri Ganesh absolutely earns all the positive reviews it’s received. I’ll definitely be back, and I want to thank Raj and his team for bringing such an amazing restaurant to the Springs!”
“I've never tried African food before this but, I was extremely impressed with the service and quality of food. Ms. Cleo (wife) runs the kitchen and the restaurant, until the husband Richard gets off from active duty military service in the army. I had the lamb soup, and the chicken with rice, and both were delicious. I will be back soon without a doubt. Thanks for delicious food and for your service in the military Richard + Cleo.”
“Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. My family and I love this restaurant. It is one of my favorite in Colorado Springs and absolutely my favorite Indian restaurant here. Dietary restriction friendly as well.”
“Can’t recommend enough. Nothing on the menu is less than perfect. The chef really take you around the world with amazing flavors”

“Stumbled upon this place a year and half ago - what luck! We visit from VA every year and stopping in is now a must! Best birria tacos we've had (we try them everywhere)!! Ordered 40 the other day with our family and they came out quickly and beautifully! Great queso too! Owner and staff are terrific!”
“This truly is my favorite Indian spot & fast becoming my favorite dining spot overall! The food & atmosphere are fabulous! The owners & staff are genuinely welcoming & appreciative of their patrons. Especially impressed by the quality of the food & pricing in a time where most restaurants are skimping on quality & raising prices...NOT Omar! In a world of status quo EXCEPTIONAL is the best word to describe King Indian Kitchen & Bar❣️”

“Don't believe these negative reviews at all. I eat here weekly. I lived in the middle east for quiet a few years with the military. The food is exceptional the place is spotless and you can't get a better staff. They even have their own grocery store so if you like it. You can buy it and make it at home. Great place for sure.”
“My wife and I stopped here before going to Garden of the Gods while in town for a conference. Based on reviews, we expected a good sandwich, but what we got was an amazing experience in every way! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, the food is delicious, and to top it off, we sat at the humble patio in the back and enjoyed the view of Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains while we ate. My wife is gluten-free and the locally made gluten free bread they use is incredible. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing coffee out of a little hut..but artisan. They have the best specialty board boasting a lot of different iced coffees. They're breakfast is good as well, staff is nice.”
“Incredible peaceful experience with an amazing area to relax and have fun. I love that I can come in here and lounge on the couch or get some work done on my laptop.
Dietary restrictions: Have all milk substitutes available”
“Whealthy Unlimited is a gem in downtown Colorado Springs! This inclusive spot has the best juices in the area—refreshing, delicious, and made with quality ingredients. I love stopping by to grab a juice and soak in the positive atmosphere. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a healthy treat. If you're in the area, you definitely need to check this place out!”
“we were sat immediately. Server was super friendly and food was delicious!”
“This place deserves WAY MORE than 5 stars. The personal attention & professionalism of the staff is unmatched. Stephanie was our Server & she was top notch 👌 Carlos continued to check on our table as well & chatting with him was enlightening.
I am a Google Local Guide, Level 8 & have been writing reviews on restaurants for many years. When I tell you this place is FABULOUS, I mean it. They made sure that our Valentine's Dinner was so lovely & we are so grateful. 💝

“Wait time went by faster than quoted! Fad, friendly service. Coffee is the best I have had and refills were perfectly timed. Will definitely be dropping by to buy a bag to brew at home. All menu items were delicious and filling. I bought additional giant cinnamon rolls to share with absent family members. So GOOD!”
“Pete's Jamaican Restaurant delivers phenomenal food and outstanding customer service. The flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly seasoned, making every dish a true taste of the islands. The staff is warm and welcoming, ensuring a great dining experience from start to finish. Whether you're craving jerk chicken, oxtail, or curry goat, Pete’s never disappoints. Highly recommended!”
“This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have had the pleasure of eating at, and I've frequented nothing short of 20 Indian cuisine restaurants. UT is so flavorful, and so GOOD at balancing their flavors! Their chai cocktail is delicious, and their dishes are beautiful 😍 Highly recommend Urban Tandoor, they're absolutely fantastic we are so lucky to have this Gem in COS!”
“I love this place so much. The food is so so good. Everything we’ve had has been so delicious and the price for everything is super fair. The owner is super super nice we love her! Wishing so much success for this place ?”
“Me and my man went to lazy dog for dinner last night, the server was super sweet and very attentive despite it being busy. Our server was Jaime and she had not only taken good care of use but everyone else based on the smiles with her interactions with them. My partner’s food came out burnt the first time but Immediately as we mentioned it our waitress notified her boss and had the kitchen remake which came out much better and was able to be enjoyed. Not only did she help us out with the food but offered compensation and was very kind and welcoming to the feedback. I really appreciate people like Jaime who go above and beyond, will definitely be returning soon!”

“As a visitor to Colorado Springs, I’m already missing Shuga’s. I came in for both lunch and dinner during my trip and wished I had time to try the whole menu. Everything was fresh, creative, and full of flavor. The Café Tray—which features the menu highlights—was a perfect sampler. The Cuban Mojo Sandwich and Key Lime Pie were excellent. Cocktails were perfectly balanced. The space itself is as thoughtful as the food. Beautiful art prints by a local artist line the walls, each representing a year of the business. There’s a cozy garden yurt out back that offers additional seating. It’s a unique, welcoming place with real personality. The staff clearly enjoy working together—it felt like a fun, supportive, family-like crew. I was lucky to be served by Missy, who made my day. I chatted with the chef at the bar after his shift; he was totally delightful and he clued me into his favorite local spots. Free street parking was easy to find, and I’d definitely recommend checking out their website—there’s a lot of fun lore behind the place. Everything about Shuga’s is spot-on.”

“Love this place so much! I’m not usually a fan of chain restaurants but my favorite thing about this place is the fact that they source locally as much as they can. We have been here a few times now and every single time it has been great. The food and service are consistently good. Every server we have had was amazing. I used to work in restaurant industry for years so I notice the little things. I love to see multiple managers on the floor talking to customers, refilling drinks, running food. One server I have to point out is Jennifer, she’s never actually been our server but always remembers us, specifically my daughter who was having a meltdown one day and she offered to bring her a bowl of fruit. And we weren’t even in her section. Great service, thank you!”

“biscuits and gravy slaps, their burritos slap, they have a wild amount of drink options. The dining room is typically always clean, they do get packed sometimes because of how good they can be. They worked very hard to get where they are in the industry here in the 719. make sure to support your local businesses no matter what! This place had dreams of being a restraunt and made it happen!”
“This is one of the best experiences I’ve had going out to restaurants. The physical place was very cool and designed great. The menu is awesome and creative. Once the food came it was incredible and far more than I had imagined. I talked with the owner who had a great attitude and you can see the passion he put into all the details as well as every employee and the chef who created this awesome menu and has been there since the beginning 11yrs ago. Even the servers had great attitudes and brought their each personalities along with them to each table. Our server was Lila, and was thee best server I’ve ever had. Just a very special person with a beautiful heart. Please everyone, if you get the opportunity to go don’t hesitate at having a very very special time. Thank you to everyone at 503W for the best time. Y’all are fantastic!!!!! 10⭐️’s”

“We ate at the IHOP on Stetson Blvd on the 4th of July. We were seated right away and got our drinks right away. The sweet ice tea was great. I ordered a pancake combo, and my wife ordered an omelet with sreak. Everything was quick, and the food was great. High marks for everything except the parking area. There is a huge pothole in the parking area that needs to be addressed!”
“From Texas, tried the Chimichanga burrito, surprisingly had shredded beef. Took picture after spreading the sour cream over the top. Second day I ask to have the sour cream off the burrito and they did as I asked, second picture. The shrimp burrito had lots of large shrimp. Very good for a fast food drive through more like a sit down restaurant quality. Ate there two days in a row.”
“Got my chicken ranch cheese steak sandwiches last night and got fries and a large drink and it was 34 for 2 sandwiches and 1large fries and 1 large drink I ate one last night and saved the second one for my husband well just eating it now and there was a hard piece of plastic in it we took it out it is what is in the picture the 1st sandwich and fries and drink were amazing I love it I was so sad finding that though in the sandwich”
“Dropped in here looking for some breakfast. Upon entering there were no visible employees. However, I heard a holler from the back that someone would help me soon. Took a few minutes for them to pop out... but the person was nice, the food come out hot and super quick.
I can only assume they have like two people running the location. Shouldn't there be a minimum number of people available on your floor if you want to do business?? I did almost leave when I seen noone at the counter and the place could use some serious cleaning. I can only assume this is a management thing?
No employees = no orders = no food sold ... this is why places are shutting down all over town. Lots of people looking for jobs. So no reason to not have actual bodies running a restaurant.”
“This place is SO GOOD! I’ve had sushi at other places around town and this is hands down the best. The food presentation was beautifully displayed with lots of flowers and fruit. Our waitress was so friendly and bubbly! And the food portions for price are unmatched. So glad I finally tried this place, I’ll definitely be back!!”
“Great people and a great place to go. I always recommend anyone who travels near here to stop in!”

“Was a little hesitant to try it, but The Big Lebowski is one of my all time favorite movies. The place didn’t disappoint one bit!! Between Sita and Dave, the service was impeccable and the food and drinks even better!! Please don’t overlook this place. We will be going back. Btw, gluten free options are on the market!!”
“Stumbled upon this place a year and half ago - what luck! We visit from VA every year and stopping in is now a must! Best birria tacos we've had (we try them everywhere)!! Ordered 40 the other day with our family and they came out quickly and beautifully! Great queso too! Owner and staff are terrific!”
“Highly recommend for anyone looking for finger licking good BBQ, great vibes, and solid service. We’ll definitely be back! We tried the jumbo wings, and they were absolutely superb—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The rib combo plate was just as impressive—tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned.”
“Found this place because I wanted a place open after the end of my shift at midnight. Such a laid back vibe. great cocktails and extensive list of spirits. The kitchen was closed, but the menu looks intriguing. Definitely recommend. Definitely will return.”

“Update: Unfortunately, due to 5 negative experiences in a row at Porkbutt, I feel inclined to alter my review. Because of constantly being out of items / deciding to opt for Gold Peak tea instead of the delicious fresh brew they had been using, I don’t think I will be visiting again any time soon. I’ve tried once or twice per week for a month to visit, and each time had to go elsewhere. But the tea thing really was a big blow for me. I LOVED their fresh house made iced tea. 😞 My boyfriend and I had been wanting to try Porkbutt BBQ for a while and finally had the opportunity yesterday. We pulled up at 11:52 and waited in the car since they don’t open till noon. They opened early at 11:55. The staff was 10/10. Knowledgeable, kind, and courteous. The food was INCREDIBLE. My boyfriend is a Rudy’s fan, but I’m not since they don’t have good sides in my opinion. But Porkbutt has amazing meat and sides. We got chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, sweet potato fries, iced tea, lemonade, and he got the brisket grenade. The cheese sauce on the mac n cheese and grenade was so unique, I asked a staff member what that unique flavor was that gave it just the tiniest kick, and she said hatch green chiles. It was really good. The nuggets aren’t frozen bagged nuggets, they are fresh cut chicken thighs breaded and fried to order. And everything in the restaurant is gluten free. They also have all sauces made from scratch, including the ranch which I dipped my nuggets and sweet potato fries in. And I’m an iced tea snob, and the tea was SO GOOD. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the mac n cheese noodles were a little too soft for me, but still delicious. Even their business name and logo are adorable. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant!”
“I’m glad my coworker and I went here and tried this restaurant about 2 days ago. I’ll give 10 stars if I can. Very inviting. Clean and the SERVICE AND FOOD WAS AMAZING. Very much like real authentic Thai cuisine. Our server was Carl and was very attentive and friendly, the chef that day was great. I recommend this place if you’re craving good that food and service was high standard. Definitely going back and try all the food in the menu.”
“Should have taken a pic of the food because food ____ is what we all wana C. But in n out always has our hearts and souls. Doesn’t get better, animal style, 3x3 with grilled onions (and cheese on every damn layer)please!!! 🙏 (so fresh so clean) last meal before heading to Texas! The obvious choice!!!
Parking: Very easy to park, most people go drive through at in n out, but I keep it classy and go on in the in n out.
Kid-friendliness: Once again, kids love cheese and burgers”

“I LOVE edelweiss, such a welcoming atmosphere, and awesome food. Their clam chowder is delicious and so is their escargot! Their desserts are amazing, going just for their desserts is so worth it! They have delicious wines and hot todays, glu wine, and apple Cider. The accordion player is a delight. Highly recommend, great experience.”
“We had never tried tapas style before, but we found out that THIS tapas spot is FANTASTIC! Everything was so fresh - it may be our new vacay place to eat! 5 stars- would DEFINITELY recommend.”

“This was our absolute favorite dining experience of the week. Tha halibut was outstanding along with the Boar and Cornish hen. All the little extras were over the top and amazing. I can't believe this isn't a Michelin star restaurant. It certainly should be and we'll be back!”
“The Broadmoor is in its own class, delivering an experience above 5-Stars. The staff are genuinely helpful, here to make your stay an experience you will fondly remember. Pet friendly. Original historic photos and paintings of the Western Art Collection. The restaurants are also top-notch. We tried Ristorante del Lago and Summit for dinner along with Lake Terrace Dining Room for the buffet breakfast.
Dietary restrictions: Garlic and food allergy sensitive and avoidable.”
“I wanted this to be 5 stars all day. However there were some issues with the temperature of many of the hot dishes and quite a few things that just didn't feel elevated enough for the price. We arrived at 9:30am and when we started browsing many of the dishes when we arrived were cold unfortunately including sausages, bacon and potatoes. The carvery meats were also not very hot. These things add up when you are paying a premium price. Things that were enjoyable were the sushi, desserts (they had a strawberry mousse dome that was delicious) and we loved the As it stands it was lovely to come and experience the buffet however I don't know if it was worth the asking price. The hotel and atmosphere are beautiful. It might be more worth it if you arrive right at opening.”
“Very interactive and entertaining! 10/10 would do again!”
“Wow is all we can say! It's been a while since we have been to White Pie & man are we glad we paid them a visit! They literally knocked everything out of the park! Every item we purchased was delicious & our server Ella was absolutely incredible! We got the buratta, meatballs, broccolini, Brussels, Fromage a Trois, Lasagna, Wagyu burger, and blueberry lavender cannoli for dessert! It's so nice visiting a local owned spot with both fabulous food & service! Thank you White Pie we will be back soon!”

“We loved the food and staff here! We had a wonderful time, very unique place! The food was great and it came out quick! Our server was a kind gentleman who was attentive and made sure we were happy and had room on the table, he cared about our experience. Definitely a place we will go back to! The portion sizes were great, we took home boxes! Definitely recommend!”
“Great drinks!!! Was my first time visiting and loved the atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I told them that I like the Creme Brulee Brown Sugar Milk Tea from Gong cha, and they recommended the Tiger milk tea. Was very good!!!
Plus, you don’t have to pay extra to not have ice!”
“So never coming here and brought by a local friend, walking in out of the 7 people at the counter SAM came over as my family looked confused at the menu, he said have you guys been here before? We said no we were waiting for our friend and gonna look at the menu, he offered how it works and. Was super friendly, out of the other 6 people Sam was amazing what a good worker you have, and the food was great, I got the brisket, which was top notch! We will be back when we come this way to the spring best bbq around since we live in Arvada. Great experience. Love they do the national anthem go America!!”
“This is the spot for those living on Peterson or working at Peterson! I’ve had numerous dishes from here for lunch, and it’s always been great. Everyone at work always look forward to getting some lunch specials from here on Thai thursdays. I’ve had their Pad Thai, egg rolls, Thai fried rice, and pad see ew… and man oh man.. they’re all great. I will say my favorite is their vegetable egg roll and dinner serving pad see ew. HIGHLY recommend the pad see ew here!!! Be a little adventurous and order it next time!”
“The owner, JR was so great at getting us taken care after a grubhub mishap. He was very polite and didn’t let this mishap change his behavior. He was energetic, prompt and a wonderful host.The food is great with great flavors and everything a wing needs! definitely going back!”
“We have been twice now and the food and drinks were fabulous each time! Their $10 enchiladas suizas were delicious! The drinks are yummy and the chips and salsa flow freely. The pork rinds came out crackling. Their green chili is delish!”
“The service was excellent and the atmosphere fun. The food was great, especially the chile rellenos. Their regular salsa was a little bland for us so we asked for a spicier one - we received two more bowls of salsa of different flavors. All 3 were delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant!”
“Keith was extremely attentive and provided great service, very joyful and happy. The restaurant was very very full and even then he was able to provide service rapidly while being attentive with all his other customers.
The chefs were excellent, very hard working as they got the food out quickly and deliciously.”
“If you want a flavor chop to your mouth buds... would recommend! I had the curry chicken and coconut rice - it was juicy and seasoned so well I moaned, yep I did. The braised oxtail fell off into whatever magic sauce they cook it in. I saw them bring out the ribs to another table, too 😐🥹🤤.... will return for an update after I come back for them!”
“Sushi Row has quickly become my favorite dining spot in Colorado Springs! While finding parking can sometimes be a challenge, the experience is worthwhile. There's nothing quite like indulging in their surf and turf roll paired with a perfectly crafted Japanese Old Fashion. It’s a hell of a combo.”
“The entire staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Kailan was delightful as our server answering all the questions we had...and there were lots! Emma did the same as she prepared our delicious Cheese Experience. It was another very enjoyable visit to The Black Forest Bistro! Maybe Chef Deanna will come back from Europe (Spain?) with another inspiration which we'll enjoy next time...”
“Ivy is the most amazing server ever ! She was prompt and great through our whole conversation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Such a great birthday dinner. From salads to steaks to desserts… it was all amazing. I will come here every time we visit CO”
“Food was great as usual. Service is usually pretty good, however our waitress barely checked in, never checked for drink refills either. It happens, still a delicious experience!”
“This was my husbands and I first time going to this bar. It was a cozy and cute place. The bartender Quintin ( I believe that is how he spells it) was so nice and very knowledgeable about the drinks. We will definitely be back.”
“Chewey steak, mediocre service. Huge price for what you get. Never again.”
“New in town from California looked up wine tasting came across vine & wheel decided to take a chance so glad we did you can choose your own fight and price range and the selection was too many choices the charcuterie board was yummy we will definitely be going back thank you”
“Relaxed atmosphere and good sushi. In the running for second, next to Yoo Mae.”
“Went at an odd hour so the place was quiet, had the coffee slush with a milk cap I recommend mixing it if you get the same.
Good price good taste will probably go again”
“The manager Garrett walked me and my friends around the whole restaurant taking photos for us for our Instagram and did a fantastic job… Cassidie our server was also super kind and helpful… THANKS FOR A UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT VIEW HOUSE”
“My husband and I recently dined at Four in COS. Came from Virginia! We were so inspired after seeing Brother compete on Chopped, we knew we had to taste his food. The menu was creative. The food divine. The service outstanding. We licked our plates clean! Highly recommend 👌”
“Awesome sushi! Fun night for a birthday party! sushlizing at its best! ❤️🥳🎉”
“Some of the best sushi in the springs hands down. Definitely check them out.”
“I went to The Rabbit Hole to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! From start to finish, the atmosphere felt unique and inviting. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal—crafted with so much creativity and balance. Every sip felt special. The food was equally impressive—delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The combination of quality cocktails and a fantastic meal made it the perfect spot for a celebration.”
“We stumbled upon this place while walking around and so glad we did. The food was amazing! Probably the best all around Italian restaurant we’ve been to. Everything was very fresh and very tasty. The atmosphere was cool and the service wonderful. Can’t recommend it enough!”
“Solo at the bar for happy hour. Lettuce wraps are a staple and they were extra good on this day. I usually will order the Mongolian beef or honey sesame chicken and shrimp. Service is always great and if you want dessert, order the Great Wall of chocolate. I came for a challenge I was doing on a YouTube video finding the best chain restaurant espresso martini. This was good one you can watch by searching my channel @KaitRose”
“The fine dining experience at The Peppertree Restaurant is second to none! They do not nickel and dime the meal and it has a great old-school feel with the most amazing food and service. Fine dining at its best! Highly recommend! #TableSideCooking #DeliciousEveryThing #ImpeccableService”
“I would vote six stars if I could!! This is a great find and I highly recommend a stop! The staff was fun and friendly. There is a great vibe here with eclectic decor and beautiful chandeliers. It was giving Adams family. They've got great comfortable furniture in cozy settings to accommodate either a couple on a date night or a group of friends. They have 6 fire pits out front. We got on a wait list for fire pit seating which only took about 10 minutes. They do allow cigar smoking on the patio. They had some super fun and delicious cocktails and a wonderful assorted dessert plate! My photos do not do this justice to the stunning interior. Stop in and see for yourself!!”
“THE BEST SERVICE EVER!!!! Family friendly, plenty of space, live music, sooo many food options, gorgeous Colorado views. Literally a PERFECT venue!! ♥️♥️♥️”

“The food was incredibly favorable! We sat outside on the patio with good music and perfect lighting. Our server Dan was professional and attentive without being obtrusive. Excellent food and experience!”
“Went for Valetines day and was very disappointed. We booked with the manager herself and was told if we did not show we would be charged. We arrived and had to wait 90 plus minutes and they cared less. Beware they added a 3% mandatory hospitality fee and a 20% mandatory gratuity. All in all, they persuaded us not to return. 100% focus seemed to be on the business thier profits and minimal to us the patrons. We cued in the waiting area with others who also seemed to be waiting like us for thier over selling.”
“Good boba (I really like the lavender milk tea) and a great atmosphere. My friends and I played some of the games they have available for everyone and had a blast. 10/10 will be back again”
“Jalapeño wonton poppers are incredible. The variety of games vintage/modern is great. A couple were needing some repairs but overall a great experience. Looking forward to trying more on the menu and from the bar.”
“It’s a great local brewery! Good beer, good food trucks, lovely view of the mountains.”
“Nice Ambience when you enter restaurant. Hostess and waitress were exceptional on providing great service and advice. Food was excellent and my wife and I so enjoyed! Highly recommend!!!”
“Wonderful food for good prices - manager gave us the “first customer” special - a bottle of sauce to take home and a gift card to return 😊 HIGHLY recommend!! 10/10!!”
“Great beer, but please bring back the Devil in a Red Dress cherry cheesecake. My wife's favorite beer anywhere!”
“Just a fun and good weird feel went there for a soccer documentary with the switchbacks”
“fantastic food! it was very delicious and had a great experience”
“The best people in the city/state, hell.. the world! From the owners, to the staff, and the customers. To top it off, in my opinion you won't find better beer around here. Always great variety of styles, and the good beers don't stop coming week after week. No matter what you like, they'll have it, and be assured that it will be damn good. Bring the pups, bring the friends, and have yourself a good time at metric brewing. Satisfaction Guaranteed.”
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. Food is always amazing and staff are great. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“We eat here at least twice a month. Their food is so fresh, the service is over the top! Don't let the name fool you, aside from the best sushi in town they offer so much more! I love their salmon teriyaki and my husband loves their tempura shrimp. We generally get bento boxes at lunch. Did I mention the lychee martini?? Five stars!!!”
“This should be the hottest spot in Colorado Springs. The vibe was so cool and upscale while also being relaxed. The FOOD…OMGOSH. We’ve been a lot of places and this is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Seriously everything (service, drinks, apps, meal) was perfect. Thank you so much!!”
“Thank you so much for sponsoring at Blues On The Mesa vip Party! everyone loved your wines and fantastic energy!”
“..excellent service! Tim was a fantastic server and host for the juniper valley ranch experience! food and overall evening was top notch!”
“We love coming here. We refuse to go anywhere else because we just compare it to here. Sonei makes our experience so warm and welcome. The sushi chefs make cute fruit art and are a delight to interact with as well.”
“went for lunch today. delicious food. good drinks and great service. Really enjoyed the gnocchi dish.”
“We ate here last night and drove an hour to try it on the advise of friends who used to live in St. Louis. Our server Lilly was a complete joy. Our food was spectacular and we loved everything we ordered including the dessert, a pumpkin bread pudding with brioche bread and toffee syrup that was to die for. We are already planning our return and driving an hour for a dinner so amazing is nothing and you owe it to yourself to try it, you will find yourself also planning when you will return, it's that good!! It was also a pleasure to meet the Owner/Chef Eric. It was awesome to hear his story about how he got here.”
“nice open area with amazing beer. big plus for the music nights they hold here.”
“Came for the tapas, love tapas. This place was very solid- nothing special but scratched that itch. The paella is by far the best. The barbacoa polenta and garlic shrimp were very much so run of the mill. The chicken coquettes are awesome but ours were severely undercooked and quite cold in the middle- we had to send back. The wait staff was nice but seemed to be pulled in every direction at once leaving the service a bit sub par for cocktail and priced menu and this magnitude. Hoping these are just opening hiccups that get ironed out moving forward. We have tried it twice now, and would like to come bring friends and family here with us.”
“I’m a long time Sushi Den Denver ‘snob’ - but Nara Sushi blew me away! Great Miso soup starter, fantastic rolls & sushi. Amazing specials- fresh flavors, creative combos, textures, …. All in a friendly, great place ❤️ Looking forward to trying everything!”
“Parker was an amazing waiter. He slipped in a few small jokes, all at the right time and place. I felt like he was coming out of his comfort zone, and I was 100% there for it. The salmon was a little overdone on the outside because they added the sauce a little too early, so it burnt a little too much to the outside, it was chalky. But everything else was great. We will be back.”
“Highly recommend! We love coming to Jei. Customer service is phenomenal! Their staff always goes over the top and works so hard! We will be back for more! Thank you! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽”
“Best service! the whole staff was super friendly & welcoming! 10/10 highly recommend this location. The manager Dillon was fantastic and the food was great.”
“This was our very first time visiting Rib & Chop, and Father’s Day felt like the perfect occasion to surprise my dad with finally getting to try it after mentioning it for some time. Unfortunately, while parts of our experience were great, several issues made it less than ideal. ⭐️ The Highlights: First and foremost, our server Max was absolutely SUPERB—kind, attentive, quick, and knowledgeable. The hostess (whose name I sadly didn’t catch) was also wonderful—gracious, helpful, and quick to step in when needed. Their service was ABOVE AND BEYOND was definitely a bright spot of our visit! ⸻ 🚫 The Not-So-Great: Spilling Incident: Another server (a woman with a low bun and a neck tattoo) brought out our appetizers. While handing a plate to my dad, she accidentally knocked over his beer, which spilled all over my mom and caused quite a scene as my mom yelped from how cold the drink was and drenched she became in it. I understand trying to joke about it to lighten the mood even though my mom was clearly upset, uncomfortable, and soaking wet, but the server had the AUDACITY to BLAME IT ALL ON MY DAD! And NOT ONCE DID SHE APOLOGIZE!! THAT was what upset us the most and made this experience unsettling. Max, even though he wasn’t involved and likely didn’t witness the spill, rushed over immediately, apologized profusely, and helped clean up. His professionalism surpassed that of the other server. Mistakes happen—but failing to take responsibility in a service role is disappointing. We seriously considered boxing up our meals and leaving, but my mom encouraged us to stay. Manager Ryan came by while I was in the restroom and apparently apologized and offered to cover the cost of my mom’s dry cleaning. ⸻ Bathroom Issue: While my mom was in the restroom for over 20 minutes trying to clean herself up, I also needed to use the restroom—only to find no toilet paper in either stall. I asked two separate staff members over the course of 10–15 minutes, but no one responded quickly. Finally, the hostess walked by while asking the final employee, and she immediately turned around to handle it herself. She apologized sincerely, and I truly appreciated her urgency and kindness. ⸻ 🍽 Food Feedback: • Steak: I requested medium, but it was served well done and tough. Thankfully, Max noticed and had it remade right away. The second steak was fantastic—juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. • Rice: Both of my parents ordered the wild rice, but it tasted burnt, like it came from the bottom of the pot… • Appetizers: We tried the Bang’n Salmon and the crab-stuffed mushrooms—both were flavorful and well-seasoned. • Entrees at the table included: • Surf & Turf • Turf & Turf with ribs • Chicken Broccoli Alfredo • Brown Sugar Salmon We also decided to try the carrot soufflé, which is now my dad’s new favorite dish. ⸻ 👏 Final Impressions: At the end of our meal, another manager, Chase, stopped by to speak with us. Despite being new to management, he handled the conversation with poise, professionalism, and genuine care. He informed us that our entire bill had been taken care of, which we were deeply grateful for. ⸻ Overall: While the drink spill incident cast a shadow over our visit, Max, the hostess, and both managers genuinely did their best to turn things around. Some food items were a hit, others missed the mark. I’m not sure the rest of my family will be back anytime soon, but if Max is working, I might give Rib & Chop another try.”
“This restaurant did a lot of things right, but we felt they underperformed on a few levels. The food was good but not outstanding. The service was pleasant but quite slow and although we dined relatively early (6:30 pm), it got pretty loud by the time we finished around 8:30 pm. It was difficult to have a conversation and we were looking for a more relaxed atmosphere.”
“we had a wonderful time celebrating Ulrin birthday 🎂 ❤ 💕 our server was fantastic beautiful photos. thank you 😊 ❤ 😀”
“It was ok. I'm from Savannah GA the low country of GA nothing but swamps marshes beaches etc.. nothing compares to seafood down south . n I can get more food for way cheaper. it's pricey for the low portions n the fries taste cheap for $20 at least make homemade fries n use more toppings on the lobster fries the fish I didn't care for either . it's better food than most in Colorado springs but do take your prices down it don't cost that much to make y'all make I promise you I been in the kitchen since I was 12 but this is Colorado .”
“Food was simply amazing. Rick took great care of us. High quality dining experience.”
“Awesome! Very good steak I had the filet mignon with brussels sprouts very tender steak it was very very good and loved Brussel sprouts. We also had chips and queso. They were also very good with a complementary dessert. strawberry Cheesecake.”
“was looking for another all you can eat sushi place since the place usually go to waant open yet . this one's a little more expensive but the quality's good and the fish to rice ratio is perfect. I will be going here again.”
“Went to this new place for the first time last night. Definitely will be going back. Me and my son love 🍣 sushi. And my daughter can get her ramen noodles. And the prices were great for it being dinnertime.”

“WOW!!! Another One Of Our "GO-TO" Restaurants This restaurant has become one of our "GO-TO" restaurants when we come to or go through Colorado Springs. It is very conveniently located in the newer area on the north end of Colorado Springs. The food is fabulous and the menu feature of 1/2 sandwich and soup is just right for a light meal. The Monte Cristo sandwich is done perfectly!!! The chicken tender salad is always a favorite of my wife. Marie was on duty that evening - Leadship On Duty!!! Marie came by our table several times and when I see the leadership working the crowd it speaks volumes for the entire operation. Kirsti took care of our table and she frequently came by to make sure the food and service met our satisfaction. WOW!!! A super nice evening with great food, great service, and attention to detail. Marie and Kirsti - you are the best!!!”
“Went there with three family members who were visiting from out of town. Found the food was delicious, fresh, well cooked, very clean, the staff kept all the dishes replenished and our table servant was very courteous and prompt. The price for one senior, one adult and two children was under $50 including a $5 tip. The desserts were great also with a wide variety. No complaints from me or my guests.”
“District Elleven is a total vibe—moody, modern, and tucked just off Tejon in downtown Colorado Springs. We stopped in on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find happy hour running from 4pm to close (yes, all night!). The Drink of the Week was a total standout—The Myagi Blossom, made with gin, Aperol, honey lavender, and lemon, topped with boba. Light, balanced, and not too sweet—just right. It was fun, creative, and refreshing. We sampled several small plates and honestly, they were more generous than expected. Highlights: the perfectly crispy arancini, the hummus plate (topped with caramelized onions and served with warm bread, carrots, and cucumbers—my personal favorite), patatas vovo (a delicious spin on a classic), and the artichoke de fritas, which were divine. For cocktails, the Sazerac had a bold nod to New Orleans—traditional with a whisper of absinthe that hit all the right notes. I ended the night with a dirty vodka martini served with blue cheese-stuffed olives—beautifully done. We also shared an affogato for dessert, which was the perfect finish. Service was also top-notch—our server handled both the bar and our table with ease, making us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for. This place is a gem. Whether you’re just out for drinks or looking to graze and linger, District Elleven nails the ambiance, flavors, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.”
“First visit, very pleased. On site parking, 5 of us passing plates and couldn't find one that wasn't really good. Staff attentive, super pleasant. Only negative? that I could find... it was a cold night and we should have sat further from the door. Will be back.”
“The cocktails are amazing because of the friendly and fun bartenders, but also because of the spirits they make right there! Took a bottle of Guardian Bourbon home with me and my friends devoured it. Their taste room is welcoming and relaxing and I was told they have tours with tastings every Saturday. A must visit!”

“few months ago, we had meal at this restaurant. I wasn't satisfied my ordered due to pricing meal is not reflecting in the store price compare to online price. So I called the corporate manager, to my surprised, they sent me a complimentary meal and today, I used for a meal. Thank you and appreciate it. The food was great as always.”
“As a visitor to Colorado Springs, I’m already missing Shuga’s. I came in for both lunch and dinner during my trip and wished I had time to try the whole menu. Everything was fresh, creative, and full of flavor. The Café Tray—which features the menu highlights—was a perfect sampler. The Cuban Mojo Sandwich and Key Lime Pie were excellent. Cocktails were perfectly balanced. The space itself is as thoughtful as the food. Beautiful art prints by a local artist line the walls, each representing a year of the business. There’s a cozy garden yurt out back that offers additional seating. It’s a unique, welcoming place with real personality. The staff clearly enjoy working together—it felt like a fun, supportive, family-like crew. I was lucky to be served by Missy, who made my day. I chatted with the chef at the bar after his shift; he was totally delightful and he clued me into his favorite local spots. Free street parking was easy to find, and I’d definitely recommend checking out their website—there’s a lot of fun lore behind the place. Everything about Shuga’s is spot-on.”
“Should have taken a pic of the food because food ____ is what we all wana C. But in n out always has our hearts and souls. Doesn’t get better, animal style, 3x3 with grilled onions (and cheese on every damn layer)please!!! 🙏 (so fresh so clean) last meal before heading to Texas! The obvious choice!!!
Parking: Very easy to park, most people go drive through at in n out, but I keep it classy and go on in the in n out.
Kid-friendliness: Once again, kids love cheese and burgers”
“Love this place so much! I’m not usually a fan of chain restaurants but my favorite thing about this place is the fact that they source locally as much as they can. We have been here a few times now and every single time it has been great. The food and service are consistently good. Every server we have had was amazing. I used to work in restaurant industry for years so I notice the little things. I love to see multiple managers on the floor talking to customers, refilling drinks, running food. One server I have to point out is Jennifer, she’s never actually been our server but always remembers us, specifically my daughter who was having a meltdown one day and she offered to bring her a bowl of fruit. And we weren’t even in her section. Great service, thank you!”
“I loved this place. Both in TX and in Colorado Springs. I see lots of complaints on here about them running out of some of the items, the long line and needing to get their stuff together. First of all, this is a new location. Maybe they needed to feel it out a bit to see how it went as far as guests. The line for in and out burger was 13 hours and to go there now, a year + later and you still wait an hour. In and outs fries are the absolute worst. Way back in the 70's whataburger came to Colorado. It had many locations and still got shut down because Burger King and McDonald's beat them. Maybe this is why they needed to see if it was accepted. I have been there for times now and I live in Aurora, Co and got happy when my son was coming from Pueblo just now and asked if I wanted one when he got to the Springs. Without hesitation I screamed yes then looking at the menu I saw all these reviews and was shocked by the bad ones. I am a native texan and last time I went at the beginning of 2020 to TX I went three times because I love it and I love it here too. Thank you for coming to Colorado Whataburger”
“Love coming here for my birthday! Highly recommended!! 💞”
