The highlight is the food, which is pretty important for a restaurant to get right. We ordered the Reuben with onion rings and a burger that included an egg (also with rings). Both were quite good. The sauerkraut was delicious, as was the dressing. The rye bread was toasted and adequate to the job. Lots of restaurants fail with the Reubens because they use crappy meat. This stuff was okay. Not the worst I've had. Rings are homemade. A little bread (thick) but a good flavor. Comes with a BBQ type dipping sauce, which was tangy and enhanced the flavor. Reports on the burger were 'very good', and from what I saw, that is not an exaggeration. It's in a run-down strip mall, and the interior doesn't inspire confidence necessarily when you walk in, but the waitress has personality and did a great job. I could make this a regular lunch spot. Give it a shot. I've heard they have delicious Prime Rib on Wednesday...

Do not order the French Onion Soup - it’s like brown water with no flavor. No bread. No cheese.
Opt for the new patty melt and substitute the black bean patty for the burger. 🍔
Fries are fine. But it’s just fries.

I really didn't get the chance to see what the atmosphere was, because I only came to picc up my food. The food was easy, though. Easy on the eyes and the people appeared friendly. Loved the biscuits & gravy, though. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The heavy smell of cigarette smoke greeted us as we got out of the car right in front of the door. It's a bar with good food, not a fine dining establishment, so I guess that's okay. And there's probably nowhere else to have a smoking area, so it is what it is. Hold your breath and go on in.

The staff are lovely and outstanding at extending hospitality. Clearly, it's a neighborhood favorite: lots of families with young kids, young adults, and older folks were all there.

The burgers we had were perfectly cooked to order, and the sides were yummy. The beverage selection was solid, too.

All around excellent spot for great food and a great happy hour! The house margaritas are fantastic and the fried pickles and nachos are the best I’ve have in town.

This establishment is my preferred dining location. My family and I consistently visit this establishment to enjoy their pozole blanco and quesadillas. The staff consistently demonstrates exceptional customer service, and I highly recommend this family-owned business.

This please does everything well. Wings are really really good. Blue cheese dressing is that funky chunky goodness. They can also fry like a southerner. Pickles. Fingers. Fries. Rings. All good. Try the enchiladas too.

We started with margaritas and fried pickles. I could have eaten another order! They were delicious. My husband had the Monday Rib Special and said the flavor and sauce was on point. My daughter had the adult grilled cheese sandwich and liked it as well as the sweet potato fries. I had the buffalo chicken strips and substituted onion rings they were excellent. My grandson was happy they had mini corn dogs and liked the Mac and cheese that his papa shared with him. We also shared a half order of the Mile High mud pie (I think that was the name) a half order was perfect for the 4 of us. Overall a great meal, excellent service and just a cute little spot. Can’t wait to go back again and try more food!

Kid-friendliness: Had crayons and kids menu to color. Good kid menu options.

I'm not from Denver but it seems like a hidden gem!

Good atmosphere, Great food, and even better service. I'm posting their regular large menu, brunch menu, and weekend menu.

I only wish there was something to do in this area after dinner but I'm still discovering. I was too hungry to take a picture of my steak but I decided to take a quesadilla to go for later in case I can't come back before my flight!

This is a great neighborhood bat and restaurant. We were looking for somewhere new to us for a simple dinner. Burger was juicy and tasty. Grilled veggies were as good as recommended. Loved my French dip and coleslaw. The meat had great flavor!

Nice place. We'll be back

Our family loved this place! The service was great, the margaritas were excellent, and the food was delicious. A member of our group has a gluten allergy and they had great gluten-free options and offered for his food to be prepared without contact with surfaces and fryers that may have cross-contamination. Highly recommend!
