Very good service and food. It's going to cost a bit, it's at DIA, but one of few places with decent value. Don't pay $16 for a deli case Turkey sandwich when you can eat here.

If you are in the airport business, you should know how long would it take to serve. I waited for 40 minutes after making an order and then went for boarding with no food. I was promised the food would be ready in 30 minutes.

Had a lay over here and tried the country fried tofu bowl and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back to get it again when I have another stop in Denver. Highly recommend!

Eating gluten free in airports is usually stressful, but Root Down at Denver Airport completely changed that for me. As someone with celiac disease, finding safe, good food while traveling is rare, and walking into Root Down honestly felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The staff were fantastic from the start, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely confident about celiac safety and cross contamination. They made ordering easy and stress free, which is priceless in an airport setting. The food was outstanding. The avocado key lime pie was next level. It did not feel like airport food at all, more like a destination restaurant that just happens to be in a terminal. Between the celiac friendly menu, amazing service, and food that actually excites you, Root Down sets the bar for airport dining. If you are passing through Denver, do yourself a favor and stop here. It turns travel days into something to look forward to.

3 very tired female travelers needed REAL food before leaving DIA. Root Down and their staff filled the bill! Great food! Derrick, our server was over the top and very kind also!
Root Down at Denver International Airport is a standout. The beet salad is to die for, the lamb sliders are exquisite, and the Pepper Blossom drink is amazing. Fresh, floral, and perfectly balanced. Special shout out to Whitney, our server, she was over the top! Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Easily one of the best meals you can have at an airport.

Rootdown at DIA was a good quick place for breakfast. It particularly lends towards vegan and GF. Roasted breakfast potatoes/carrots were excellent. Good service!

For an airport this was surprisingly good food at a decent price. Had the hot honey sweet potato fries, and the pork carnitas tacos and it was 30$ and similar quality to any quality restaurant outside of an airport.
