Welton Street Cafe, a longstanding favorite spot, is dearly missed for its fried fish and greens. Customers eagerly await its return in a larger location. This place is more than just food; it's a cultural monument to the area. The fresh buratta and house-made noodles at brunch are absolutely delicious, with tasty sauces to match. The soul-fried shrimp, crispy honey hot wings, and perfectly fried catfish are highly praised, with flavorful mac & cheese, delicious greens, okra, and hushpuppies that are crispy and sweet—especially if dipped in honey hot sauce. The vibe is chill and inviting, with an atmosphere full of joy and brilliance. Service is top-tier, with attentive staff who go above and beyond, making guests feel like family. Customers enjoy drinks like hibiscus margaritas, lemon drops, manhattans, and chilled beer on tap. The food consistently hits the heart and stomach, offering soul food that is seasoned and cooked to perfection. The owners and staff are very welcoming, creating a warm environment that leaves guests eager to return.
Recent reviews highlight the flavorful jerk chicken and greens, which taste just as expected. Weekday service is prompt and friendly, although weekends can bring a long wait for food. Many find the full meal cost around 25 dollars, which they consider a fair price for the quality and flavor. Visitors feel comfortable bringing their families here any day. Customers also share that the vibe is unexpected but enjoyable, with personable staff who take time to engage. The food surpasses expectations, and the atmosphere is lively and warm, making it a favorite spot for those seeking great soul food and hospitality in Denver.
