“First place we go when we get into Golden Colorado”

“Great poutine and I am native to poutine from Quebec. Burgers and side salads with cilantro dressing rocked. Devine desserts. Will be back! Great atmosphere, cute furniture and pretty plates too. Love the openess on a hot summer day!”

“Great place for date-night!!”

“We have been customers of Tafolino's for some time. Great food, great service and friendly staff. My wife and I went there last Tuesday November 7th. The booth where we were seated was too cold, so my wife asked to be moved. The new location was still too cold so we needed to move again. My wife apologized and told the server that she wasn't trying to be difficult. It was because she was undergoing chemotherapy and she had poor temperature control. The third location was perfect and we had a very enjoyable meal. When the waiter brought us the bill, he told us, "Don't worry about it. It's been taken care of!" I opened the check and someone had put the entire amount on their own credit card! They refused to let us know who had been so kind! Even more amazing, Tuesday was not the normal day of the week for us to visit. The staff was not well known to us, so this was truly the kindness of strangers. Thanks Tafolino's.”

“My (now husband) and I eloped in Golden. After our wedding, we made reservations at Indulge for dinner. The staff made the night special for us with flowers and wine waiting for us at our table. Everyone was so kind and congratulatory, I seriously cannot thank them enough. The food was absolutely delicious. The bread with basil butter was to die for. The ahi tuna guacamole was also some of the best ahi tuna I had during our trip. If we didn’t live in Wisconsin, I’d want to go to Indulge on a weekly basis. Next time we’re in Colorado, I know we’ll have to make a pit stop back to Indulge. Again, I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding night feel so special.”

“Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. We had a leisurely lunch with appetizer and desert over a 2-hour period and never felt rushed. It was quiet and comfortable. Food was very good.”

“Me & my husband had my mother in law over & grandmother & aunt. It was just lovely! We all ate so well & drank even better! & the atmosphere is so genuine. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing food! The Orange Chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly balanced with a sweet citrusy sauce. The Crab Wontons were creamy and crunchy, and the Egg Roll was flavorful and freshly made. Everything tasted hot, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend!”

“Great service and food. Good area in town.”

“Favorite place in Colorado. Great beers, rotating food trucks and amazing views. Despite all of the pros above, our favorite aspects of new terrain are all the cool dogs and events they put on.”

“Just have to give Louis' Cafe a quick shout out... if you live near Golden and don't go here for breakfast/brunch regularly, you're missing out. Best service, great food, just excellent! Thank you for always being so accommodating, Louis' Cafe.”

“they are the best BBQ food”

“The food is consistently good, this restaurant was having a bad night though. Maybe people called out sick or something, but every table was left un-bussed and the dishes in the bar were stacked up. The couple of waiters working were doing their best and prioritizing customers, i hope they are not having to deal with that kind of working conditions all the time.”

“Best coffee in Golden! We regularly buy single origin beans and drinks. Fantastic cold brew! Highly recommended!”

“Fun! Great beer and good location!”

“Excellent coffee, food, and warm welcoming atmosphere.”

“I regularly go here to get their vegan breakfast burrito (with avo, and smothered in green chile, obvs). It is better than any other vegan burrito I’ve EVER had. Including at entirely vegan restaurants. This burrito has tofu, and potatoes, and kale, among other goodness. And the crema on top?! VEGAN. Their seasonal lattes are excellent as well (with oat milk, of course!) Updated from previous review on 2026-03-01”

“Great place to get morning coffee and eats. I love their Hot Mocha served in a mug!”

“I took my mom here today and have been once before. The service was super fast and perfectly friendly. The food was delicious, I had the relleno plate and mom ordered the #3 combination which was a burrito, enchilada, and tamale. The food came out so quickly and our server was excellent. He was kind and always had a smile. I highly recommend eating here.”

“If you are planning a trip to Colorado, plan it in August, go to Blue Pan Pizza , and get their August special PEACH pizza. I had it last year and it’s even better than I remember this year! Get that perfect bite and make every one of your tastebuds happy!”

“This place is so delicious! The shells are divine and the gnocchi are impeccable! The only thing I could complain about is there are no Italian sodas!”

“Always a fun spot to enjoy wonderful food, libations, music and dance, dance, dance. Come out and join in on the fun in the sun. ???”

“Thin crust with their signature sausage,mushrooms, and black olives.
So so good...I love all the people who work.that I've to know especially the Mexican lady who cleans up the tables.
She's super nice every time we go eat at Mannie & Bo's. We have lived in Golden for 23years and all our family always enjoyd the pizza . Thank you for all these years of yummy delious pizza..
The Quintana families..”

“My grandson and I love this place. I get coffee with gf swirl, Kubby gets cocoa with M&M bar. Kind people, wonderful place.”

“Great gluten free options (a few GF pastries & GF bread avaliable with sandwiches) had their strawberry fields matcha latte with coconut milk & it was the highlight of the experience. Really kind workers that are glad to chat.”

“We stopped in here after doing the dinosaur ridge trail, staff was friendly, great atmosphere and amazing pizza and mozzarella sticks! If we are ever in Colorado again we will for sure come back!”

“We are staying across the street, opened the patio door and could smell the coffee. We went to get our first cup and ended up back for the second cup as well. Got a scone and then ended up back everyday for coffee. Very friendly guy making suggestions.”

“Great place to eat. Staff is amazing.”

“Go spot to shake off a little dust.”

“The best Lebanese food I have so far tried in Colorado. La mejor comida libanesa que he probado en Coloradod Truly recommended, especially the King Combo !!!! Shukran Jezilan!!!”

“Beautiful decor great food.”

“Most delicious ice cream. They had chocolate covered orange peels too”

“Love this place. I enjoy a healthy lunch there once a week (sometimes more). Love the Volcano Bowl and the Tiki Toast. And the newly installed garage doors are perfect. Great local business run by a wonderful Golden family.”

“Great beer and often has good food trucks”

“Sometimes a good NY pie, garlic knots, and Caesar salad will cure what ails you. Everything was delicious and the pizza reminded me of that scene from A Goofy Movie with the cheese pull. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Server Megan was great.”

“As original as you can get. True to its roots and that makes it a priceless gem.”

“Christmas cookies were a hit! Can't wait to try out the pies!”

“Always stop here before going into the mountains to grab a breakfast burrito and a pocket a bagel. It can get slammed, but it's worth it to me. Been going for years and plan to keep going.”

“When visiting Golden CO take a short drive to visit this place the best food we had doing our visit..”

“Great people, cold yummy craft beer and fabulous food trucks!”

“Cozy & amazing food. Friendly staff.”

“The only choices on this review are “do” or “do not” recommend this place… I’m somewhere in between! This place is great if you want to hang out with friends, play some pool and have a beer! I do NOT recommend the nachos! It’s like they dumped a bag of chips on a tray and sprinkled a handful of cheese and dry hamburger on top. They charge for a side of queso. $21 for the worst nachos we’ve had in our lives. The cheese curds were good. I’ve not tried anything else on the menu, but I probably won’t be back for the food. Definitely pool and drinks. It’s great for that!”

“Jose is the kindest gentleman I know. His food is ridiculously good. Do yourself a favor and find this truck around town”

“Highly recommend checking out this coffee trailer! We ordered the Fourteener and the Avalanche. The Fourteener was perfect with their mountain milk (seriously one of the best specialty coffees I’ve ever had). We got the Avalanche with mountain milk as well and it was a bit too sweet so I’d recommend normal milk or oat milk for the Avalanche. We’ll be trying their second location very soon!”

“This restaurant(s) is so unique and incredibly sophisticated no matter what venue you are looking for this is the place! The atmosphere is awesome due to the incredible décor, large screen, a multitude of different type of seating, large TV’s located all around the bar! The service and restaurant is second to none! The bartenders are so professional and friendly. Believe it or not we were actually asked if we were satisfied with our drinks! We were politely and professionally served our many food and drink selections! When our pizza slices were served, my mouth dropped, because I have never seen slices of pizza so huge! I have not had a slice of pizza that was so good with just the right amount of tasty toppings on mine! We ordered chicken wings, half naked and half buffalo wing sauce. The chicken wings had been fried to perfection and was so good we could not make up our minds which type of chicken wings was the best, so we called it a pleasingly tie!”

“The food is great here. But my order is consistently NOT ready when I order ahead of time. What's the point of online ordering if they don't start cooking it until I arrive? This has happened repeatedly.”

“The on-deck food truck at Ohm Brewing is an amazing little secret gold-mine for the Golden, CO Sunday Day-Drinkin' crowd. Our crew ordered epic pork carnitas fries, a mouthwatering potato burrito, and ultra-creamy Mac 'n Cheese topped with crispy pork carnitas. A true hidden gem. We will be back next time we play a few rounds of disc golf in town!”

“The new ownership at the Canyon Tavern has done a great job! The food is now so yummy and the beers are flowing. We love playing shuffle board here and listening to live music!”

“First place we go when we get into Golden Colorado”

“Always a fun spot to enjoy wonderful food, libations, music and dance, dance, dance. Come out and join in on the fun in the sun. ???”

“The chicken salad croissant sandwich was soooo good and the bean salad (side of the day) knocked it out of the park. The servers were polite and helpful. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Golden.”

“On National Donut Day I stopped in to purchase donuts for all of my Department units at SAH. These donuts were a HUGE hit with everyone. Comments, best ever, delicious, worth breaking my diet for, on and on. Please support this local business you won’t be disappointed!”

“I eat at the Mines Qdoba about once a week. It is the best restaurant on campus, and the staff is truly kind. I have had two excellent experiences at the Qdoba where the employees have gone beyond what is expected to help me out. Well-sized burritos and bowls with queso at no surcharge for less than $12? Catch me back here next week.”

“very delicious! the Sambousek cheese was absolutely delicious and their hummus is better than I have had anywhere. The Chicken Kababs were very very yummy!! The people were very friendly... will definitely be returning Over all, 5 stars across the board”

“It’s a small donut shop inside but we were so surprised at how good the Apple fritter, Cinnamon rolls and Longjohn were. She asked me “cream or no cream” and proceeded to fill the chocolate iced Longjohn with luscious taste-filled cream. We will try the croissant sandwiches next time. And while it was warm inside when we entered the AC quickly made it very pleasant. Very nice people.”

“Been a customer since you opened & never disappointed; got my berry smoothie fix this morning-it's going to be a Great Day!”

“We had my daughter's baby shower in the separate room and it could not have been more perfect! By far the best part was the service. I could not believe how attentive and enjoyable both Megan and Kailyn (sp?) were with all of our group. They were able to remember everyone's special requests and drink ordrers, make great suggestions, make my little granddaughter feel so special, all while being fun and sweet. Service can make or break an event with 25 people and this was way above and beyond! On top of that, the room was so pretty with windows, little string lights, flowers, and plenty of space. The food was great, especially the scones, the curry sandwiches, the macaroons and the shortbread cookies. The 3 people with dietary restrictions and also the little 5 year old each got their own food tower! The teas were delicious, but the alcohol drinks are really good also (and very pretty). We debated having the shower here because of the expense, but we were SO glad we did. They packaged up some nice treats from the store to make up for the minimum we were required to spend. Highly recommend for an event!”

“Great Happy Hour.'!………………..”

“muy ricas y servicio rápido”

“I had a great experience at India’s Best Curry & Grill and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for flavorful Indian food.

We started with the chilli chicken—initially it was a bit chewy, but what really stood out was the service. As soon as we mentioned it, our server replaced it immediately without hesitation. That level of attentiveness made a big impression.

The highlight of the meal was the thukpa noodles—absolutely a must-try when you visit. The flavors were rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced.

We also tried the Kerala chicken gravy, which was outstanding—full of authentic taste and cooked to perfection.

The best part of our visit, though, was our server, Dhiraj. He was incredibly humble, attentive, and took the time to have a genuine conversation with us. His honest recommendations really enhanced our dining experience.

Overall, amazing food paired with exceptional service. Will definitely be coming back!”

“🍺 Mad Mack Brewing is a must-stop if you care about truly great beer.

There are a lot of breweries in the Denver area, but very few truly great brewers. Bob Mack is one of the best. The variety here is impressive—everything from classic styles to more adventurous pours—and the standout part is that every beer is good, while most are genuinely great.

The beers are balanced, flavorful, and true to their roots. You can taste the craft and discipline in each pint—nothing gimmicky, just excellent brewing done right.

The vibe is like a local beer hall: a perfect mix of regulars, locals, and visitors, all enjoying great beer together. It feels welcoming, unpretentious, and authentic.

They’re also updating the patio for 2026, so stay tuned—this place is only getting better.

Don’t miss Mad Mack’s, and make sure to say hi to Bob. 🍻”

“Great people, drinks, and food! so delicious!”

“Hannah was so kind and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed chatting with her and she made me a lovely cup of tea. Store has a great selection and tea is very high quality. Cheers, Hannah!”

“This place is full of doggos!”

“The food was very good, and Colleen was professional, courteous, and very helpful! Its easy to see how much she cares about the students here, and that makes this place even more amazing. I highly recommend the Embry-Riddle Prescott location.”

“This is the place to go if you like exceptionally high-quality cocktails that are genuinely unique and interesting. The bartenders all seem to have a deep understanding of how to blend various flavors to create a tasty drink with any notes you want.

The decor is also really fun. A beautiful speakeasy vibe.

Do note that (in my opinion) this is really a place for high end cocktails. If you are looking for just a quick beer or something, you may want to consider other options.”
