“Adams Cafe is a true local gem! I love their menu — so many fresh, healthy options made with care and great ingredients. The baked goods are absolutely outstanding, and the cake of the month had us all smiling. Everything tastes homemade and full of heart. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food. We had the filet and the bacon wrapped elk. Both were delicious!!!“

“Wonderful, whimsical Alice in Winderland themed restaurant. White Rabbit is a must! I made my own meal with the app sticky ribs, and the forbidden purple rice and Brussel sprouts sides. It was delicious and more than plentiful. Service was friendly and excellent. This restaurant is one of the most fun and unique experiences I have had and will be always in my Colorado Springs memories. Wish we could clone it and bring it home!“

“Carlos met us at door and knew our names from reservation. Seated immediately. Food was among the best I've had in a long time. The menu is extensive. It would be hard to imagine anyone who couldn't find several things they would want to eat. We liked that their steak sizes started at 4oz. Plus the filet was delicious. I will be back whenever I'm in Colorado Springs. If this was in Denver I would eat there often.“

“Went for Valetines day and was very disappointed. We booked with the manager herself and was told if we did not show we would be charged. We arrived and had to wait 90 plus minutes and they cared less. Beware they added a 3% mandatory hospitality fee and a 20% mandatory gratuity. All in all, they persuaded us not to return. 100% focus seemed to be on the business thier profits and minimal to us the patrons. We cued in the waiting area with others who also seemed to be waiting like us for thier over selling.“

“The perfect fall meal! The cold brew with coconut cream was so refreshing, while the hot toddy brought all the cozy fall vibes. Pair that with their delicious Cuban sandwich, and you’ve got comfort food at its best. Plus, Shuga’s has a gorgeous patio that makes the whole experience even better. Amazing flavors, great atmosphere, and the best place to soak up the season!“

“This was our 1st time at Lazy Dog. We had the bison burgers and they were amazing! Our waitress was Jamie and she was so good.... Very attentive and helpful. The manager, Alex, introduced himself and they both made us feel special. We will definitely be eating there again. Highly recommend.“

“We celebrated wedding anniversary #50, and #51 at Cowboy Star. Fantastic! Dinner is always incredible. Rebecca and Elena helped us in the best ways imaginable. We highly recommend.“

“I am celiac GF and the staff is happy to treat me and my LARGE family well. Staff is well versed in gluten free and other allergy needs. One of the only places I can go with 5 kids and food allergies where the staff cares“

“Absolutely fantastic. The Veg Out and Guinness Sake pot pies were wonderful. The key lime and Lovely Bunch of Coconuts pies were fantastic. Definitely will be back.“

“We came with a large group for a work dinner. I had the 4-course with wine pairing, which was nothing short of spectacular. Dave was our server and handled the large group with ease and humor. We ate most of the menu and the dishes were all unique interpretations, and maintain the tasty, seasonal feel of late summer. I would absolutely recommend and will love coming back.“

“I recommend everybody to this relaxing pub and grill and great service and great food I was there the same time amy jo was there and she was not first on the reserve list it goes by order I've been here over 20 times never had a problem or heard of a problem till attention seeking wife and husband from Michigan got hot and upset but what she didn't know is it's by how the reservation is called in don't anybody listen to that false review this place is the bomb 💯💯💯💯“

“District Elleven is a total vibe—moody, modern, and tucked just off Tejon in downtown Colorado Springs. We stopped in on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find happy hour running from 4pm to close (yes, all night!). The Drink of the Week was a total standout—The Myagi Blossom, made with gin, Aperol, honey lavender, and lemon, topped with boba. Light, balanced, and not too sweet—just right. It was fun, creative, and refreshing. We sampled several small plates and honestly, they were more generous than expected. Highlights: the perfectly crispy arancini, the hummus plate (topped with caramelized onions and served with warm bread, carrots, and cucumbers—my personal favorite), patatas vovo (a delicious spin on a classic), and the artichoke de fritas, which were divine. For cocktails, the Sazerac had a bold nod to New Orleans—traditional with a whisper of absinthe that hit all the right notes. I ended the night with a dirty vodka martini served with blue cheese-stuffed olives—beautifully done. We also shared an affogato for dessert, which was the perfect finish. Service was also top-notch—our server handled both the bar and our table with ease, making us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for. This place is a gem. Whether you’re just out for drinks or looking to graze and linger, District Elleven nails the ambiance, flavors, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great beer, but please bring back the Devil in a Red Dress cherry cheesecake. My wife's favorite beer anywhere!“

“Great food and experience!“

“Supernova and Arcade Bar was a bit of a dark surprise—but in a good way! The vibe was unique and moody, and the Sunday bartender was pretty cool and made solid drinks. Overall, a fun spot to hang out, play some games, and enjoy good cocktails. I’d definitely go back!“

“My husband found this place on Google. I'm so glad he did. Great service and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Typically wouldn’t order fish tacos but waitress convinced me. So glad she did. Best fish tacos I ever had.“

“A nice place to have lunch when visiting the US Air Force AcademyThis is located on the United States Air Force Academy Grounds. It is on the north side of Academy drive but to the southeast side of the Academy classrooms and student housing. It is billed as a place for special events and is well suited for that. It is situated on a hill overlooking the golf course and grounds. It has a dedicated parking lot with plenty of parking. I am not sure if you have to call before you arrive but our escorts had a table reserved for us right against the window. You choose your meal and pay before you sit down. The menu was a one-page affair with sandwiches and salads. The dining room was a large hall with large and small tables with north and east-facing windows. The view is pleasant. The food was reasonably priced (most meals are about $10) and came out quickly. The food was very good and the staff was very pleasant. If you get a chance to visit and eat at this location I think you will enjoy it for the food, service, price, and view. Enjoy!“

“DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. I used Garden of the Gods Catering & Events for my wedding earlier this month and it was a disaster from the beginning. My trouble starts back in July when I tried to get ahold of someone to change my dinner time. It took over two months and me reaching out to general phone numbers and emails to get ahold of someone, mind you I had already paid in full so I couldn't back out or else I would have. Turns out the gal I was in contact with no longer works for the company. It came down to less than two weeks before my wedding day that I finally was able to get in touch with someone. When I hadn’t heard anything from the gal I had spoken to in the couple days prior over the phone, I emailed the general events@ email. I get an email after expressing my deep concern for my catering order in general saying “Hi, I emailed you yesterday. Did you not get it?”. Obviously if I’m reaching out, I didn’t receive anything, right? I thought we were good to go once I had a phone call and other email exchange with the gal that was taking over my day. I thought I would be able to brush communication mishap under the rug. Cut to dinner time on my wedding day. I realize it is far past the arrival time on my contract & dinner was supposed to be getting set up more than 30 mins ago. After frantically calling and sending an email, it took my father to go out & see if he could find the caterers down the road to learn that the truck has been stuck. I then get an email saying “I tried to email you”. How did that email go through but the first one didn’t? Then another email saying “I tried calling”. I had been at this lodge for 2 nights at this point had zero trouble with service or getting calls/texts/emails through. We also had two different caterers and a rental service come to the lodge also with zero service/communication difficulties. Because of this failure of communication, we ate dinner far later than planned, the food was cold & rolls hard as rocks. This also meant other parts of the wedding were pushed, causing my photographer to have to stay longer than the contract. I sent an email to the gals I had been in touch with and still have yet to get an email or phone call back.“

“took my boys for the first time there to watch some Texas football, and Kera was on point with making it a great experience for them with refills of the sodas and water and the pizza was amazing ,“

“We absolutely loved this restaurant. The service was impeccable. Honestly, our server was one of the best we’ve had. The food was equally impressive. I had the halibut and loved it. It’s expensive, but you get what you pay for at this restaurant.“

“We took our kids to the Cheyenne mountain zoo and chose to stay at the Marriott. No one told us the zoo was up hill both ways, but it was beautiful. After deciding we were too tired to go out we had dinner at Ascent. Our server Cameron was fantastic and very polite. We were surprised at the portions and the food was very good. Thank you again Cameron for a great experience. We'll definitely stay again.“

“nice , clean, great breakfast buffet“

“Not what I was expecting for a top suggested restaurant. Music to load couldn't here each other talk. Not much of a menu selection. Staff was great. Atmosphere was nice. Had more of a club vibe with a menu.“

“Every time we come to sacred grounds, the food dessert and drinks never disappoint whether it’s breakfast lunch or dinner. I’ve never had a bad meal here. I am also obsessed with the lemon blueberry cake, it is the best cake I have ever had in my life. The outdoor patio is so beautiful and cozy. Natasha is so friendly!“
