“Best food in the world! And the best people! Thank you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻☺️”
“The manager made sure we got the full experience, giving free food to fill the pallets and make us wanting more, the staff was pleasant and very helpful when ordering, the food is definitely flavorful each bite was something new, not my cup of tea for most of the appetizers but the entree was definitely the star of the show,”
“We ordered from here last night. Full disclosure before I begin: we're Indian, we cook A LOT of Indian food, therefore we're really picky about our Indian food. The flavor for both dishes was good (saag paneer and lamb masala) but I was disappointed with how little meat and paneer we got in our dishes. Our food took an hour to be ready when they said 30 minutes. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up our order, there were six people in front of me grumbling that it was taking a really long time. Whoever packed our food used a cracked lid on one of the curry containers, which lead to a mess all over the paper bag not to mention wasted food (that we spent $15 on). My kids liked the paneer and safron rice; they were happy it wasn't too spicy. We didn't dine in obviously but the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was beautiful. I'll probably give them one more chance given they're close by and they're NOT Little India.”

“Terrible. Steak was so dry for medium. Salmon was so strong with lemon. Worst experience ever. Flies were terrible. And waitress didnt wipe table after killing fly”

“The food was pretty good but the service was terrible.The waitress brought our drinks and then never came back at all!!There was a man that brought our food out and got what we needed but I believe that should have been the waitresses job.The manager just stood around and never came over to see if we needed anything and the restaurant was not busy at all.”
“I'm always looking for a good burger and have been to many different places over the years. I decided to give Big Sky a try. I had the Big Sky burger and was not disappointed!!!!!! This may have been the best burger I have ever eaten. If you like cheese and bacon this burger is for you. Every bite the was a copious amount of both. I chose onion rings as my side and they had a very good flavor. My wife ate the shrimp ramen and had more than she could eat. This restaurant fills my burger and her Asian desires. We will be making this a regular stop. Do yourself a favor and give them a try”
“Coming from the northeast, I’m an absolute pizza snob. Pizzeria Lui does not disappoint! Great, chewy crust with bubbles, slightly blackened. Top notch service. Salads are great, but unfortunately are all ready to go, in single use plastic, even when dining in. I’d pay more for compostable containers, or option to bring my own.”
“From one business to another, on the behalf of Moxie Pest control thank you for making this the most painless experience by far. My employees loved the food! Catering expert Sarah was awesome and super helpful! For any business that’s looking for convenient but yet great BBQ catering I highly recommend this place! Thank you again!!!”
“The Banished Poet has been moved to its proper place of display, next to The Accursed Chair. Don't fret if you missed the local story of the poet and the muse in this flour-dusted world. The collection of works can be accessed at opensea.
Enjoy good pastries, bitter coffee and service from good souls.

“Being from Boston MA, and being authentically Italian, I have to say that Pizzeria Leopold has created the " The Best Pizza in Colorado! Chef Chris Lyons, is the master in creating handcrafted, local, homemade, Pizza, and delicious unique dishes, sourcing organic imported flour from Italy, organic local meats, making his own mozzarella cheese, sauces, and local Colorado produce. Handmade desserts ! Wines, and cocktails. You have to try this, you will love it!”
“Yard House is a solid spot for great food, a huge beer selection, and a fun atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone—whether you’re into burgers, tacos, or vegan options, they’ve got you covered. The service is usually quick and friendly, even when it’s packed. The beer list is massive, which is awesome if you like trying new things. It can get loud and crowded during peak hours, but that’s part of the energetic vibe. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out with friends, catch a game, and enjoy a good meal.”
“Crossed off my fourth new (to me) restaurant of the year and first in February tonight. Thanks to Lady Nomada in Arvada for such a delish meal! Their specialty taco - fried avocado - was mouth watering. I also had a Baja fish taco and couldn’t help but sneak in a carnitas taco, too. Super cool vibe and friendly staff; I’ll definitely be back again!”
“It was really cool! We went in a big group of around 8 people, and they gave us a table in a separate room, which felt like a family dinning room. It was really cozy! The food was also delicious. Plus, the 10.99 lunch deal is super worth it, with breadsticks, a soup or salad (I got a soup), and and entree. The Alfredo is on point!”

“Best place to go for all you can eat sushi! They also have other food to eat with lots to choose from. Jorge was awesome with his service, very kind and went the extra mile for my nephews birthday. I Definitely recommend if you haven’t tried. My new favorite spot, I’ll be back.”
“If you’re looking for truly authentic Thai food, BangKok Thai Food is a must-visit. The dishes are prepared by native Thai chefs who clearly know how to bring the rich, bold flavors of Thailand to life. Every bite tastes and made with care-from the perfectly balanced Pad Thai to the creamy, aromatic green curry. I highly recommend Bangkok Thai food to anyone who loves Thai cuisine or wants to try it for the first time- you won’t be disappointed.”
“Denver’s lack of diversity when it comes to Hispanic food really shows so this is a breath of fresh air to have a place that is different. All Denver has is Mexican restaurants which are great but more restaurants of all Latino cultures are much needed. Food and coffee here were fantastic”
“This restaurant is recently under new ownership, and if you haven't tried it very recently, you're missing out! My 6-year old son has replaced his favorite food of pizza with poke after going here. And for those not into poke, they've just added a few different varieties of ramen to the menu too! So far I can only speak for the tonkatsu ramen, and it is great. I love the choose all your fixings style poke bowls so I can get exactly what I want, but if that is too many decisions, their signature bowls are delicious - the Seafood Lovers bowl is a fantastic combination of flavors and is my husband's go-to. They have great friendly service, and the prices are very reasonable.”

“Our server, Sydnie, was terrific! She suggested either the homemade spice or chocolate cake, we let her surprise us with the delicious spice cake - wonderful moist tasty cake. We all had the fish and chips which we all highly recommend! Delicious cod perfectly cooked!”
“Crumbl Cookies never disappoint! I really enjoy their rotating flavors each week—it’s always exciting to see what’s new. The cookies are soft, flavorful, and always feel like a special treat. Perfect for when I want to treat myself or share something sweet with family.”
“We're so glad they have brought back their buffet. It is absolutely our favorite. It's a beautiful restaurant and the wait staff have always been very considerate and attentive. Highly recommend!”
“I stopped into LandLocked Ales late last week for a libation and while the beer was great and the atmosphere enjoyable, something I witnessed is still weighing on my mind.
When I arrived, the service was excellent—the lady behind the bar was kind, attentive, and clearly knew her beers. She made the experience welcoming and fun. However, partway through the evening, there must’ve been a shift change and the bartender who replaced her was the complete opposite. He seemed visibly uninterested in being there and gave off the vibe that serving customers was more of a burden than his job.
As someone who’s worked in the food and beverage industry for years, I know firsthand how much a staff member can shape the guest experience. The difference between the two bartenders was stark, and unfortunately, it left a lasting impression.
Your beer is solid, and the setting has great potential—but if I walk in again and see that same guy behind the bar, I’d probably turn around and leave. Just wanted to share this in the hopes it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Love the ambiance and supporting local business but the staff isn’t always cheery. We have never received a good morning etc just an “hi, what can I get for you”, but a smile helps. Also, went last weekend and both hubby and I got a chorizo burrito. He told me that towards the middle, his burrito was cold. He didn’t want to say anything about it. As I can kept eating mine, noticed it was cold too, not ice cold but cold. We decided to not say anything this time (things happen) but will definitely, politely, mention it if it occurs again.”

“Excellent sushi! Server gentleman who is always there is also very nice and assisting. Prices are totally reasonable for sushi! I love this place :)”
“Food was good as well as seasoned food but overcooked shrimp, corn & eggs for our liking! Snow crab legs, black mussels, shrimp, potatoes with corn & eggs! Calamari as appetizer was not bad!”
“What an amazing sushi experience!
This was our first visit here and I'm sad that we are just now discovering this place! We absolutely love sushi, but always seem to crave it on Mondays when our usual sushi spots are closed. We stumbled upon this place online and the restaurant looked nice and food looked yummy! I'm happy we gave it a try, this is now one of our favorites!
Restaurant is very clean, and laid out nicely! You have options to sit at tables, tables with booths, and also up at the sushi bar. The staff was very friendly and attentive, we were sat right away! It was refreshing that it wasn't too busy either!
Food was AMAZING! They unfortunately don't have All You Can Eat options, but it didn't matter to us since it was our first time here. We ordered the Hako sushi roll, Crazy Salmon Roll, Playboy Roll, and the Red Dragon Roll along with some of the nigiri. We also tried the Pork Gyoza. Everything was awesome! The Crazy Salmon Roll is on the spicy side, so be prepared! It was really good though! For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu. It was good, but next time I'll get the Mochi ice cream instead.
The staff was very attentive and friendly! The bathrooms were also very clean (yes, I pay attention to the bathrooms because dirty bathrooms usually means other areas are dirty too).
Everything about this sushi restaurant was great! We are very happy we found this place, we love sushi and I highly recommend coming here if you're a fan of great sushi restaurants!”

“I have been going to Ballmer Peak on Green Mountain for a while now and have LOVED it, but I went to the second location on Sheridan and Alameda for the first time this evening. They have created a beautiful, warm and inviting space with the same great beverages and excellent staff. I can't recommend a visit enough!”
“The perfect place to pregame before you party. This was our second time going to Casa Bonita and each time we went to Westfax since we were early. The quality of the brews is resplendent and the variety is all encompassing. They were even courageously kid friendly at 2-3pm.
Unless you are a sober sally this is the place to ride out reservations and a destination unto itself for the craft beer connoisseur.”
“Horrible and unwelcoming owners! They will kick you and your dog out no matter how small and quiet the dog. The one staff there was really nice but has been well trained to follow management’s unwelcoming rules. I take my pup everywhere. This was the FIRST place we’ve not been allowed. Perhaps the owners should move to a state that doesn’t like pets because I’v taken my dog into grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping centers. A restaurant in Cherry Creek even brought a glass for my dog. I am saying goodbye to Hello Coffee!”
“I decided to come here one weekend and I fell in love with both the regulars and the workers. The bartenders I've talked with regularly (Reece, Jack, Emalie, and Sydney) and every bartender I've met have amazing personalities, remember your order, and call you by name! Extremely personal customer service every time. Open mic on Modays and filled with talent. The organizers Holli and Matt make sure everyone feels included and has fun. The karaoke is amazing to be a part of and the KJ's (Alise, Bailey, Katie, and Big Sexy) all put on a wonderful show! Definitely give the place a try. It is the best hole in the wall karaoke bar you will ever be a part of!”
“One of my favorite restaurants. The food and service here is amazing.”
“Nice complex with good amenities! Gym and pool are used by tenants but never completely full. Definitely a gem in the Lakewood neighborhood. Office staff is quick to respond and handle any concerns. Lots of community events and very clean! I like that they have night security patrolling the lot and common areas as well as secure fob entry to every building. Very safe for a young woman living alone!”
“Delicious and authentic, Denver certainly has no shortage of good mexican food and this place is no exception. I was very hungry and ordered the Chipotle fish plate, Chili rellenos and a Breakfast burrito. The fish was very soft and flaky and the chipotle sauce had amazing flavour, the chili rellenos were cheesy and delicious and the green chili it was smothered in although not spicy was very good, and lastly the breakfast burrito was one of the best ive had in a while, dont be fooled by the price they are a proper size, it's quite hard to believe they are only charging 6 bucks for them when other places would easily charge double to triple for that caliber of burrito! they also hooked it up with the extra tortillas ! this place should be rated much higher, top quality and value !”
“The beer is awesome!!! The food is amazing!!! And the crew here especially bill are amazing!!!! Bill gets this place popping with his awesome attitude”
“Always been a great bar with great service. Fun place, would highly recommend and do recommend/take friends to this place
Wheelchair accessibility: It can be tight when it's a busy night but the guest there are very kind and will help you out the best they can”
“We had my son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner at BJ’s in Lakewood. I had to plan this from 1600 miles away but the process was easy and we were able to communicate on all of the details via email. On the day of the event, the manager and staff (Jamilla and David especially) were very accommodating and helpful. Food was great, the drinks were varied and came quickly to our 50+ guests. Thank you so much.”
“Great food, service and atmosphere. The menu had variety and the appetizers of brussel sprouts were amazing.”
“Amazing Cajun Broil and Amazing staff. I will recommend this restaurant. 5 stars all around.”
“We love M3mphiz Styl3z, we follow them for a reason and it’s because it is by far the best hands down BBQ I have had in this state! I’ve had the corporate BBQ places and they aren’t even in the same league as M3mphiz, absolutely love everything they have to offer, the brisket nachos are my fav, the beans are phenomenal, if you like BBQ, we’ll you’re gonna love M3mphiz, absolutely delicious!!”
“What an experience! She was super sweet and even hooked us up with an agua fresca. Where she is stationed has games for the kids to play. she also travels for events. If you see Rosita's, don't just pass by, stop and say hi!”
“Absolutely Loved the entire experience!! Food was great, Came out quickly, Server was super friendly, all of the shows were good as well!! This was my favorite dining experience in Colorado!! Definitely would recommend.”
“Very good service. I had the shrimp with the yabby Cajun sauce dumped onto the table with potatoes con on cob and kielbasa sausage with garlic chunks that were very tasty. Very good. A good first visit. I will come back and try some more varieties of shellfish”
“My husband and I went for the first time last night. We had heard it was good, but weren’t sure what to expect. Food was delicious, atmosphere was fun and it was great to see families eating there. We ordered the king crab legs, which were pricy, but they were delicious and had lots of meat. I definitely recommend. We will go back!”
“Best pizza I've had this year. I've been all over the US this year but I am sincere when I say Donatos in Denver is the real deal. One of the best pizzas in the country!”
“Good food & they give big portions ask for Evelyn awesome waitress...”
“I must say I have been to so many locations all over the US and I had such a great experience at this location. The food was absolutely fresh and delicious! The Korean fried chicken, Pizza Style Chicken Parmesan and Filet were all delicious and tasted way better than I was expecting. The service was also excellent even though it was very busy. It's been so long since I have been to a Cheesecake Factory and now I can't wait to come back!”
“I recommend because of the food, it was really good and service was fast. While eating my meal with my dad two employees began to argue and made sure the whole restaurant heard it, that part I don't recommend. If you have a problem with a coworker take care of it when there are no customers in the there.”
“This little hole in the wall. Sushi bar is so amazing. 10 out of 10. Recommend if you’re in the area stop by and try it. Especially during lunch because they have an amazing lunch special! $27 for all you can eat sushi. There’s nothing better!
I definitely recommend the seaweed salad and the spicy at edamame! For being a sushi place in Colorado. The fish is very fresh and I love it so much def some of the best sushi in Colorado.
My only complaint was the Uni (sea urchin) didn’t taste very fresh.
Everything else was amazing.
It is an amazing calm. Nice atmosphere. You get to see everybody working on your food while it’s being prepared. So you know it’s fresh and the service is amazing. Everybody is so kind.”

“Went to our favorite family restaurant yesterday with all but one grandson ( in Nebraska) Had an incredible time and all our favorite dishes! We have been coming for so long we don’t even have to look at menus. It is the most delicious food always dependable that they will be there with smiles and great service! And if Yanna is there we get the joy of her presence! The Valdez and Lucero families”
“Great food and service! Shout out to the manager on Oct 14th—she was so patient and kind while training her staff on a busy Friday night. We had exceptional service from Alex, the young cashier. My 88-year-old dad, who has dementia, was with me, and Alex took the time to chat with him, even when he repeated himself. Such a kind and genuine person—Garramone’s is lucky to have staff like this!”

“I ate at Black Eyed Pea today with 3 friends. Our waiter was Sean. He was very efficient and courteous. He joked with us. I thanked him for working as it's hard to find employees. He said he liked his job. This was obvious by the great service he provided. The food was excellent. I had the pot roast that melts in your mouth. The price has increased considerably but I understand food prices have increased everywhere.”
“Great music on Wednesday nights!! Open jam night. If you are a fan of really good music, make it down! Last night, the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen were at the bar. Bartender said that a guy who works there grows them. Really incredible. I was able to include a picture of Billy Rendon, but for some reason could not upload any of the video of their band playing at Lakewood Grill last night. They never disappoint and people love them.”

“Lots of meat, all fresh ingredients, friendly and helpful staff. Hope they stay in our neighborhood for a long time. Going to try the beef cheek and tongue tacos next time. Wish they cabrito (roast kid goat). Love the green salsa. The red is over the top HOT. Wow! Best street tacos in Denver.”

“I've been here several times, this time with a friend joining me Sunday night after most of the football games over except the night game. We had driven separately & I got here first. Hostess very nice & I went back to the bar area to wait. Good crowd in here. My go to pizza is the Chicago 7 combo (pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onions, black olives, mozzarella, green peppers & sliced mushrooms). For the crust we tried the thick pan version. It tasted excellent, but I think I prefer a thin crust version. Enjoyed some mini tour beers. Madalyn L the server fantastic. Would come again if I were on the S side of Lakewood.”

“Saw this place on TikTok and had to try the malasadas. Make sure to call ahead if you're ordering a dozen or more. Thankfully he still had enough when I called.
Malasadas were smaller than the ones you get on the islands, but no less delicious! Besides, I liked them smaller for easy portion control. Cause these things go quickly lol.
Customer service was great. He even threw in a few extra in my order. Will be back again!”
“I saw this restaurant when I went to the Asian grocery store and thought I had to try it. “Yai” translates to grandma so I knew it had to be good. The menu selection was diverse enough to accommodate everyone with a mix of some Thai home dishes that I don’t usually find at other Thai restaurants. The flavor profile was just like back home in Thailand. If you’re looking for authentic flavors look no further. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture of it before I finished all of it.”
“Easily my new favorite Kava/Kratom bar! My girlfriend and I were driving by and decided to pop in and check the place out on a whim. Very happy we did! The atmosphere is great, everyone's very friendly. They have pool, darts, board games, and a videogame console loaded with thousands of retro titles. My girlfriend and I enjoyed some of the cocktails and shots, then she utterly obliterated me in street fighter... Great times! Thanks for the warm welcome, Bobby! Definitely coming back here :)”
