“came to Lucky Dog tonight for dinner with family. As always food was great! Jamie was out waitress. This is the 2nd time we have been had her as our waitress. She is great! very attentive and on top of it!!“

“The perfect fall meal! The cold brew with coconut cream was so refreshing, while the hot toddy brought all the cozy fall vibes. Pair that with their delicious Cuban sandwich, and you’ve got comfort food at its best. Plus, Shuga’s has a gorgeous patio that makes the whole experience even better. Amazing flavors, great atmosphere, and the best place to soak up the season!“

“The food has always been spectacular but seems the service just keeps getting better. If you get the chance you must try the monte cristo and ask for Goober.“

“We came to black bear to have breakfast and Miss Brooklynn was our server and she was so attentive she made our day start out beautifully. Thank you Brooklynn. She earned her 5 stars for sure!!!“

“Absolutely incredible. From the staff, the atmosphere, the food, drinks! Did not disappoint! Loved it What a gem of a place“

“Eli was really good. He was courteous and went above and beyond. On the other hand, my loaded tater tots just had cheese on them and nothing else. They were also burned on the top“

“We came with a large group for a work dinner. I had the 4-course with wine pairing, which was nothing short of spectacular. Dave was our server and handled the large group with ease and humor. We ate most of the menu and the dishes were all unique interpretations, and maintain the tasty, seasonal feel of late summer. I would absolutely recommend and will love coming back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Visiting from Buffalo, NY, I took my wife out for a nice dinner at Carlos’. Everything was great. Friendly service from the owner, timely check-in’s on our satisfaction levels and next parts of our meals or subsequent need for drinks. Excellent recommendations for food and beverages. Listened to our preferences. All around Great experience. WE will be sure to go again next time in CO Springs.“

“The first time at this place the food was delicious and good atmosphere“

“Neat place! My son enjoyed getting in the cockpit. You can eat in the plane or inside the restaurant. Food is actually decent compared to a lot of places with rave reviews in Springs! We were satisfied with the whole experience and will go back.“

“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!!!“

“Had a party of 15. Food came out in a timely manner and was great. The Maui wowi mimosa was splendid along with the pancake flight. 100% recommend“

“James is an amazing server! We could not have asked for a better person to greet us, take our order. He ensured our order was correct and followed any weird requests like no ice. He also ensured the baby had her food first and was taken care of the whole time. Our food came out hot and delicious. Potato Pancakes are to die for. The smashed mushroomroom and Swiss burger was perfectly cooked and tasted glorious. The banana cream pie made fresh that afternoon tasted just like it was made that afternoon!!!! We will be back!“

“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!!“

“We’re currently visiting my sister and her family in Colorado Springs, and decided to eat brunch together here. I was beyond impressed! My 2 year old (who will be 3 next week) has multiple food allergies. Normally going out to eat is a tough experience. Our server was so nice and when I mentioned allergies her response was “oh we take food allergies seriously, let me make sure that item is a safe food.” Not only was it the very first time he was able to order off of a kids menu (normally we feel lucky to get him one or two items ale carte), but the food came out with a “ALLERGY” flag in it which made us all feel safer about him eating it. He loved the meal, no allergic reaction, and the service/wait staff was FANTASTIC. I can’t wait to go back the next time we visit. 🥰“

“Great food and the staff was so helpful and friendly, the music was a little too loud so early in the morning, but I enjoyed my breakfast!“

“We had a late lunch after spending the morning going to Pike’s Peak on the Cog Train. We were going to have lunch in Manitou Springs but they had a water outage due to a break in the line that impacted restaurants. So we found this highly rated brewery that is also known for their smash burgers and decided to give it a try. The beer was very good and smash burgers were great. The patties are freshly rolled daily and you could taste the difference. Very nice place for a brew and buger.“

“Best place to go to for any special event or a relaxing Sunday Brunch! Mothers Day, Grandparents Day, family in town, etc. they might be busy (cause they're the best) but it's worth the wait for amazing breakfast food and exceptional service! 🙌❤️😊 my kids LOVE going for any reason and I love any reason to get a good bloody mary 😉“

“I recommend everybody to this relaxing pub and grill and great service and great food I was there the same time amy jo was there and she was not first on the reserve list it goes by order I've been here over 20 times never had a problem or heard of a problem till attention seeking wife and husband from Michigan got hot and upset but what she didn't know is it's by how the reservation is called in don't anybody listen to that false review this place is the bomb 💯💯💯💯“
