“Nichol is the best waitress here. She brings us the coldest beer and the hottest food. 🎄 Thanks to nichol we will never stop coming here.”
“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,”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”

“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've been drinking their coffee for last 5 years. I order their beans every now and then (I live in Texas but always stop by whenever I'm in Colorado to visit my family). I really appreciate their customer service. Last bag of beans were so bad and I knew that was not their norm. I felt that they needed to know. They were quick to investigate why it was a bad batch and apologized. They sent me a bag of their new freshly roasted beans. Thank you and I'll see you in summer when I come up for a visit, have a cortado ready for me.”
“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.”
“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”
“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.
-Weredoof”
“Loved it💚🤍♥️ I had the Lobster Ravioli and it was so delicious. The Hostess, Service, Waiter were all awesome! And most importantly great atmosphere. Thank you!!”
“Food was amazing and so many gluten free options (celiacs disease). The restaurant is a chill vibe and our server Gannon was super helpful! I definitely recommend checking it out if you are gluten free or if you love gluten!”
“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!”
“This place is top notch! Amazing customer service, clean, safe, and super welcoming. It’s great for a date night (as there’s a yummy restaurant featuring an elk burger and Colorado beers inside the same building), bachelor/bachelorette parties, or just a day time activity. The membership competent seems like a great deal, just wish I lived closer!”
“Absolutely wonderful food and drink here. My hubby and I stopped in and we got ramen, a sushi burrito and two smoothies. I’m such a weirdo with boba, and they seriously have the best boba, it is delicious!! Our food was also prepared so quickly and the worker there is a one woman show. We watched her crush out 4 different orders while still being so nice and kind. Please try here if you haven’t already!”
“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.”

“Best Indian buffet!! I have so missed this since Covid so was thrilled to find out their buffet was back. Love the variety, freshness, the service is great. So so good!!”

“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!”
“This place lives up to its name and is my absolute breakfast fav in the Denver metro area. Amazing breakfast and lunch menu (DO NOT miss their award-winning green chili sauce), awesome staff (shout-out to the incomparable Michelle), and a authentic diner vibe. Just go.”
“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.”
“atmosphere, staff, and food was great!!! cool spot for a good Friday night out!!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Strange this location out of all 3 has the lowest rating. It is the BEST location of Bardo. Plenty of free parking with easy access, and close to a major freeway. The best outdoor seating of the 3 with a large gas firepit. Possibly the largest indoor size for seating. Friendly staff and all the same options for food and beverage you'd expect from Bardo. I still go to the other 2 locations if it makes sense to my schedule. Either way Bardo are the best coffee shops in Metro Denver. Cheers!”
“Came for brunch. Food was tasty and included nice touches, like a warmed bottle of maple syrup. Coffee was delicious and service was excellent. The place was packed and loud, which made conversation difficult, but it's understandable why the place is popular. No complaints, would definitely eat here again.”
“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.”
“Excellent sushi! Server gentleman who is always there is also very nice and assisting. Prices are totally reasonable for sushi! I love this place :)”
“Love this place! The fresh crawfish are worth it! Also the scallops are next level tender and juicy. What makes Yabby stand apart is the spices they use. They are amazing. PRO TIP: Wear the bib and be prepared to get messy (aka don't wear white or long sleeves lol). Ask the servers to give you a demonstration of how to get all the meat out. They are so great about that. We need reminders every time! We definitely go back every year when they have fresh crawfish!”

“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!”
“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!”
“One of my favorite restaurants. The food and service here is amazing.”
“Great food, service and atmosphere. The menu had variety and the appetizers of brussel sprouts were amazing.”
“Mandy gave me a great tour! She was incredibly nice, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend working with her!”
“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”
“Received excellent service. The staff was very friendly and informative on any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend this Kava bar to anyone who is in need. Can't wait to come back & try some of the different products they have available.”
“I arrived at this restaurant for the first time on Sunday 12-28-2025. I googled for breakfast burritos, and this restaurant came up. The name that they use is Aguas Calientes. The place was clean inside and very well decorated. I ordered some breakfast burritos from a gorgeous latina woman with a friendly and very courteous attitude. (I am sure she is of Mexican descent) My Mom and sister and I enjoyed these delicious breakfast burritos that were only $2.50 each. One burrito was enough for me. I bought two for me, and I ate the other one for supper. I am so ecstatic to find this place. I will go back very soon for lunch or for supper.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Amazing Cajun Broil and Amazing staff. I will recommend this restaurant. 5 stars all around.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Take too long to say hi ans return to check table. Comeback to see if there is any changes. But still the same. Bad customer service never return again. I will let my customers know. How horrible is this places”
“I love Casa Bonita!! We had such a fun time!! Taco salad was good!”
“Good food & they give big portions ask for Evelyn awesome waitress...”
“We ordered the Mike’s Hot honey pizza and it was really good! The only thing I didn’t like was that it was square cut pizza and not the traditional NY slice as it’s pictured, which was what we wanted. Otherwise it tasted good!”
“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.”
“A clean and tasty AYCE sushi in Lakewood. The nigiris have a generous fish-to-rice ratio and were fresh and tasty. Thea gave great service.
The good:
-Gyoza
-ALL Nigiri (Tuna was incredible here, yellowtail was delicious, good salmon, unagi needs more sauce)
-Hand rolls!!!!!! (So nice to have at ayce)
-Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi
-Green tea with toasted rice
-Mochi
The ‘meh’:
-Hamachi Kama (dry and needed fresh lemon)
-House Salad (thick dressing)
-L.A. Galbi (way too sweet bbq sauce)
The bad:
-Dynamite (huge portion and chewy textures)
-Tako Yaki (filled with more sour cabbage than octopus)”

“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.”

“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 :)”
