Restaurants in Lakewood

“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.”

“Amazing pizza, great sandwiches, delicious cocktails!”

“Best ice cream I ever had and I live in California if I get a chance, I definitely want to come back in town for the Broncos game?”

“Best food in the world! And the best people! Thank you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻☺️”

“The Service was good. Server was nice and very attentive.”

“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.”

“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”

“Nancy the owner was amazing. She makes you feel welcome immediately. The food was fabulous, so good! The veggies were some of the best I’ve ever had. We went there with another couple after a show and we all said the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.”

“Their gluten free options are outstanding!”

“great food great service good place to eat recommended to everybody”

“I could eat here every day of the week. It's just that great! The variety of selections is insane, the service is top drawer, and the atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, and fun! And what makes it so special is that Danny, the owner, is usually there working just as hard as everyone he employs. His "Hollywood" smile is genuine, and he is never too busy to have a little chat if you catch his eye. STAY GREAT!”

“Great food even better staff”

“We recently went back for a visit after moving away in 2021. We were staying close by for a pet-sit. Once we found this spot, we went everyday. We even squeezed in a stop before going to the airport. Our favorites were the almond bear claws and hazelnut tart but enjoyed everything we tried.”

“Love this place. The food is awesome and the staff is always very friendly. I even made a comment to my mother about how cool the staff always is when we were there for lunch today. They seem like they're happy and must be taken good care of by the owner. And you can't beat their rewards program.”

“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”

“FOOD WAS AMAZING! SERVICE WAS EVEN BETTER! Gabe was an amazing waiter smiling for all our wants and specific needs. The manager was also super amazing! 100/10 would recommend”

“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.”

“Awesome Server!”

“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!”

“Everything about this place is exceptional! The lady I have ordered from each time is always so kind, the food and drinks are amazing. This is a go to spot for me! Highly recommend you give them a visit!”

“Great authentic Cuban food. They have everything from a medianoche to shakes with tropical fruits. Haven't had Cuban like this since I was in South Florida.

Update Jun 2026: still really good, shakes are perfect”

“Papaya salad is very good. Thank you Tan”

“BEST OLIVE GARDEN EVER!! Service was insanely quick. Randall is the best server I have ever had he never missed a beat helped with everything and joked around with us. He made us feel so welcome! The food is so good. I love there soups all of them are delicious. I ate a ton of soup. The pastas are top notch! Definitely try the tiramisu! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!”

“one of our go to places for Sushi. very happy repeat customers and the service is excellent.”

“Chandler is great. Stop by and say hi to him at the Barrel Room. He’s knowledgeable as to recommending drinks. Very friendly staff and answers your questions if you need help. Stop by and say hi. Tell him I sent you. Becca, Chandler, Mark, Rachael, and the rest of the gang. They all make you feel welcome and treat you really like your family.”

“My first time today with a good friend. We had the Wiener schnitzel and käsespätzle w Rote Grütze for dessert! Great family home atmosphere! Food looked delicious and tasted even better. All was made perfectly! I cannot recommend this place more strongly!! Wunderbar! Lecker!”

“Thank you so much for the amazing donation of food for the Quarry Fire Evacuation! There is only so much fast-food one can eat and this was such a lovely treat! Your generosity is immense and we thank you for your support.”

“The owner at this location was extremely kind and everything came out very fast. I’ve been to crumbl before and this is definitely my favorite location. Thanks :)”

“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.”

“We recently had this AMAZING restaurant cater our wedding party and HOLY COW! They went above and beyond. They supplied the food truck so my guests could easily get their food instead of catered style and it was a huge hit!!! I want to thank the two employees who helped us out especially Tony (I hope I'm getting his name right) but he went above and beyond making sure all my guests were happy, checked in with me multiple times throughout the evening, and even packed extra food for my new husband and I to take home. It was the best decision hiring them and I would do it again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!!!”

“Outstanding Thai food! The crispy rice salad knocked my socks off.”

“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.”

“Out of the way location with plenty of comfortable seating, I just wish their coffee was hotter.”

“Great service, yummy drinks and had fun in the arcade.”

“best spicy chicken sandwich out there; I highly recommend it!”

“Came here on Labor Day weekend and the staff was very friendly. I loved the vibes and the place was very clean. Definitely recommend coming here if you need something fresh!”

“We returned for the second time and really enjoyed our food. We had the taco salad for the second time. The presentation was just as good as the first one. Margaritas were good too! Friendly Staff!”

“The service is always attentive & the food is always delicious! The portions are generous and the prices are fair. This location is perfect, as our favorite dining spot, when meeting up with our kids who live in the greater Denver/Boulder area.”

“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!!”

“Excellent choices and fresh food. Very friendly staff and delicious food. The spicy salmon bowl is the bomb and you can tell the dumplings and cheese wontons are made fresh”

“The front range are very welcoming with travelers. They let you park over night if you spend a bit inside. We went, we really liked everything. The staff was very warm, the food was delicious and not expensive, we watch sport event. It was a perfect night.”

“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!”

“Stopped in for lunch today. wings were crispy, plump & juicy. Garlic spicy chicken 😋 Yum! Our server, Brandy was so nice & friendly. will be back. Everyone needs to give this place a try! 🐔”

“It's always a good visit here. Great employees, fun to talk to. The food is always the best, and they always remember return customers.”

“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 cannot express how happy I am that this delicious spot popped up 1/2 mile from my house. :) We have been there twice in three days! The food is outstanding and the service is exceptional! I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out.”

“A big THANK YOU to Elegant Bakery for making our Granddaughters sweet 16th a memorable day! All our guests enjoyed this beautiful cake and cookies. If anyone is looking for impeccable service & quality, this bakery is your place!”

“first time in today cool little spot for coffee and gifts will definitely come back to this out of the way coffee shop”

“A great lunch spot for a burger 🍔 & onion rings!
Definitely going back to try other menu items that were recommend. 👌
It's a very cool real dinner from 1957 😯
Oldoes John Wayne,🤠 Elizabeth Taylor 📽 & Frank Sinatr 🎶 visited the dinner.”

“The Colorado Cookie Company is absolutely amazing. They did a chocolate chip cookie cake for my gym's 2-year anniversary celebration and it turned out so cute, we didn't want to cut it but it looked so tasty we had to do it! It was incredibly delicious, just like a yummy chocolate chip cookie, in bar form once it was cut into small serving-size pieces. The frosting was perfect, not too sweet, just right. Thank you to The Colorado Cookie Company for helping make our party so special with your cookie cake. We'll be back for more for sure!”

“Everything they have more decaf and sugar free options”

“The best boba tea shop in Denver so far! And I love boba. The shop itself is sparse; minimal seating. It's a grab and go situation. Got the fusion cooler, twilight, and matcha blueberry and they were all stellar; the fab being twilight (lemonade with butterfly pea). All flavors are made from real fruit. The owner (?) was so sweet and helpful too. Hope to be back soon.”

“Everything is delicious and fresh, and the presentation is beautiful.”

“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!”

“Super delicious triple berry shake! The employee was working really hard with a morning rush of people and still took time to explain everything. The consistency and pop of the berry taste were really special here. I want to go back and try more of their many flavors. My son got a brownie batter shake which was rich and creamy. They also have a punch pass! Highly recommend.”

“Service is Excellent and Food is SUPERB”

Our waiter, Wesley and a manager did everything possible to accommodate our Flag Day decorations and having a tea party in our friend's honor while enjoying a wide variety of Olive Garden's delicious meals. The great service made it possible for a joyful celebration”

“I could eat here every day of the week. It's just that great! The variety of selections is insane, the service is top drawer, and the atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, and fun!

“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!”

“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.

“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.”

“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!!!!!!

“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.”

“Today was a week after Blazing Bird announced that they were switching back to a Halal menu. I asked to confirm with the host Noeh, who immediately put our minds at ease by showing the Halal certifications, and was a great host overall! So glad that Blazing Bird is Halal again - Halal options are rather limited especially in west Denver metro area. As always, great food and value for money!”

“Food was great, plenty of it, well seasoned, lots of ingredients and lots of option.”

“It’s completely surreal how perfect the shaved ice here is. I have never been more jealous of my friend ordering something I didn’t. We will be here over and over again :)”

“Absolutely fantastic! The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was phenomenal, fresh, flavorful, and some of the best Thai I’ve had in Colorado. If you love authentic spice, they absolutely deliver. Their Thai hot is the real deal, bringing incredible heat without sacrificing flavor. Every dish was perfectly balanced and clearly made with care. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing, authentic Thai food!!”

“Chicken sandos are the best! I will say the tables are not getting cleaned as often as they should. For the past couple of times, i've had to clean off my own table before sitting while all the workers are hanging out behind the counter. Definitely not inclined to tip when i have to do the cleaning each time.”

“love it! so delicious and high quality”

“THESE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE AMAZING!!!! I AM FROM CHINA AND THESE ARE THE BEST SOUP DUMPLINGS IN COLORADO!!!!! INFACT THEY BEAT MOST OF THE ONES BACK HOME!!!

“Great food! Not a lot of expectations i was just trying to get the kids and i fed, but they absolutely slayed it! Awesome food and it wasn't terribly busy, but if people start catching on it might turn that way! Good staff too! Friendly and professional.”

“Excellence service and food. Highly recommended! And this was our first time there, and I was impressed by how attentive the servers were. I also really enjoyed the pho.”

“The bad ass coffee atmosphere is so positive and sticks to the Hawaiian theme which makes walking in such a pleasant experience! It shows how spirited they are!

I highly recommend getting the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich but every sandwich is yummy. And for a drink I recommend their pina colada smoothie because it tastes like you’re in Hawaii!!!

The employees are very positive and ready to work I appreciate their kind attitude towards the costumers! And there willingness to work hard!”
