New American Restaurants near Lakewood, CO

“Great food even better staff“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service is excellent. Nicholas went above and beyond to make sure my beverage demands were met when I inquired about a mixed drink they used to serve years ago. They have an extensive wine list and beverage selection.

Entrees were cooked to requested temperature.

The view doesn’t disappoint, ambience makes it a great date night meet up place.

It’s right off the sixth avenue, very easy access.“

“We really enjoyed our birthday dinner for two at Hillstone. We shared "Osaka Style" pressed sushi, spinach & artichoke dip and grilled heirloom artichokes - a delicacy IMHO. I chose a New Zealand white wine (having just returned from NZ) and it was excellent. The restaurant was near capacity when we arrived and we were seated within a few minutes of the time of our reservation. Table service, the wait staff and the assistant manager who checked on us were very attentive, very professional and very friendly. Top flight in every way.“

“Fantastic dining experience. Worth the trip every time!“

“Excellent food and service! Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“

“Table 6 in Denver’s Alamo Placita neighborhood delivered an incredible dining experience with each dish showcasing farm‑to‑table freshness and creative flavors. From the tender broccolini and creamy carrot hummus to the perfectly seared grilled beef coulotte and rich duck confit, everything I ate was exceptional, and the chocolate beignets provided a decadent finish. The service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed, making the evening both comfortable and relaxed. The atmosphere is chill and unpretentious, perfect for a laid‑back night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“The food was good. I went with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and we wanted to catch up with each other. It's a small place and was pretty crowded when we went (about 1:00pm) , so was difficult to talk. I had Mediterranean plate which was good, a little different twist on a Greek salad.“

“Best food in Denver and the only good late night food in lodo.“

“Been a customer fir a long time, and thr Bad Ass margarita has been my drink of choice. But I'm a little concerned at my last visit with the change in taste.“

“I reserved a seat at the bar! The place was fancy and beautiful. The jazz band was amazing and really classy. David’s group was inspiring, and the piano player blew me away with cool chords and original songs. The service was awesome, and the drinks were top-notch. Great place! 🎹“

“Cherry Cricket Burger Bar absolutely knocked it out of the park! First off, the remodel and vibe are incredible — such a fun, fresh atmosphere. I’ve been very cautious about eating out lately, and OMG… huge win that they offer burger bowls! I always order my bun on the side, but I didn’t even have to because they have an amazing burger bowl option for any of their burgers. Another thing I loved: when you order fries, you can choose a single or double portion instead of being forced into getting two sides. Someone definitely put a lot of thought into this menu, and I appreciate it! The bison burger was to die for — seriously drooling just thinking about it. We will 100% be back! *Broomfield location“

“Small local diner that has a solid fan base. We had to try a little bit of everything and nothing disappointed. Their pancakes were good sized and fluffy. French toast was really good and the biscuits and gravy were great

Staff was amazing. Had a number of different people check on us, so if you need anything they will ask before you do

Drove right by the place so I had to turn around to get there. So glad we did! Go check them out!“

“Be aware they are now charging a “service charge”. It’s was not noted on the menu nor did the server inform us of the charge. The only reason I found out is I requested a printed receipt. The receipt recommended an additional tip be between 2-7% on top of the charge. Yet when I paid the machine prompted an additional 15 or 18% tip so I tipped 18 even tho our service was bad cuz I use to be a server. The unfortunate part is I didn’t look at the receipt for over a week after I visited. I’m very disappointed that I’m being charged a “service fee” and at no time was it ever brought to my attention that this is a new thing.“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“Hidden gem in Lakewood for breakfast/lunch. Fresh made biscuits daily. They always have buttermilk and a rotating biscuit of the day with great sandwich options 😋 solid coffee as well“

“Best food in Arvada Colorado right now!“

“we had such an amazing experience for Mother's day brunch. We look forward to returning for dinner.“

“I love going to McCoy's.
It has become one of my regular stops on Sundays. Sometimes, even on Saturdays, we usually have breakfast. But they have a great menu with lots of options, there is something for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive to your needs.
We also went there for Thanksgiving dinner, and their Thanksgiving dinner was the best. This has become one of my favorite places to eat.

Vegetarian options: I am not sure about their vegetarian options. But the staff is friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the menu.They are also very willing to change anything. I am allergic to eggs. And when I get breakfast, I just have them omit the eggs from any of my dishes. And they are happy to do it.

Kid-friendliness: I haven't seen very many kids or babies here. It looks like it would be kid friendly.“

“Great, attentive, and friendly staff. Food is fantastic, Excellent choices for all. Amazing mussels and pasta to Octopus that is unique and delicious! Highly recommend“

“I had a wonderful lunch at the Naperville location served by Heidi. She was so friendly, helpful and made our lunch enjoyable.“
