Went tonight for NY Eve but also because it was Chicken Pot Pie night special. I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and a side of Mashed Potatoes. The Chicken Pot Pie had a lot of flavor with vegetables and sauce. It was a nice size, with only a Top Crust. If I hadn't added the Mashed Potatoes it would have been too much sauce. I Definitely Feel It needed a bottom crust, as well. There was also some crunchy potatoes inside the pie, which was a little frustrating, as if they weren't quite cooked long enough. I also got their delicious Ice Box Rolls, which are Always Delicious.My waiter, Ethan, was Fabulous and very attentive. It was quite busy there, considering it was New Years. I probably would not order the Chicken Pot Pie again.

It's been a long time coming for us to FINALLY try Castle Cafe. We've passed by this place dozens of times and it's always packed full of people. Even this time around, we were quoted a 30 minute wait. So to remedy this we ate at the bar. It was quite a busy night and we couldn't have asked for a better crowd and bartenders. They were definitely what made our night great. As for the food, we got the infamous Pan Fried Chicken and the Friday night special Fish and Chips. The fried chicken was ginormous, with a side of mash potatoes and veggies. The worst piece for me was the chicken breast. Just my own personal preference. It was tough and dry for my liking. But overall the pan fried chicken was great. Homestyle food at it's finest. Speaking of homestyle, the fresh baked dinner rolls were de-licious. It comes with butter pads and honey. And they gave enough for the two of us even though I was the only one who ordered the chicken.The fish and chips were priced the same as the chicken. But it only came with two small pieces of fish, fries, and a cup of coleslaw. I don't think that was worth the price. It was very mediocre in comparison to the chicken.I'd love to give this place another try for drinks and dessert next time.

We celebrated 3 October birthdays, mine included, and one of the birthday girls recommended Castle Cafe. She said that they had the best fried chicken and best chicken fried steaks and chicken breast in town. She wasn't lying!!! Our server was awesome. She was really on point with everything from drinks to the food! Everything came out very quick, even though they tell you that if you order fried chicken, it's done right, low & slow and will take around 30 minutes.We started off with the Deviled Eggs & the Spinach & Artichoke dip for apps for the table. 2 excellent choices & then for entrees, my wife & I got the Chicken Fried Steal(unbelievably good) with a medley of very fresh vegetables & quite possibly the best mashed potatoes ever!!! The other 3 in our party got the Fried Chicken meals with veggies & unlimited mashed potatoes...the chicken was moist, crunchy & quite possibly the best Fried Chicken I ever had!The restaurant is split up from a beautiful wooden bar when you first walk in, to the spacious & lovely dining room! Everything was a beautiful wooden decor, so whether single or a party of 10, the Castle Cafe can accommodate you! Give them a shot, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Fresh baked bread, and some of the best Spinach Artichoke dip I have had in Colorado. The service was average, and the prices were fair. We sat outside on a lovely fall day and the area is beautiful in Castle Rock's downtown area. I am excited to go back and try their chicken (which is what they are known for)

First-time visit to Castle Cafe! Went for lunch, we ordered two items, the brisket sandwich and a menu special, corn chowder with jalapeños and shrimp. Cut to the chase here: brisket sandwich was pretty good slightly dry by itself but rescued by the tasty Memphis bbq sauce and a topping of Cole slaw! The soup however was disappointing... it tasted good, but there was zero indication of either jalapeños or for that matter any shrimp. We ate late lunch (2pm) so maybe the soup pot had just run out of those two advertised ingredients? ... not sure. All said, I do plan on going back and giving them a second chance as I try their pan fried chicken which they are supposed to be famous for!

This is my favorite restaurant in CR. The Castlewood Canyon Salad is by far the best salad I've ever had. I also love their comfort food choices that taste so authentic and yummy.

Fried chicken was THE BEST!!! It was a wait to get our food (specifically stated on the menu that it is a 30 min wait), but IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! The skin was crispy and the chicken meat was deliciously tasty and moist. Our server made our meal taste even better because she was very nice and had a great sense of humor. Restaurant is for families with open tables and booths. It had a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Came especially to try this fried chicken and it was good as well as the side of mashed potatoes and steamed fresh veggies. I did sample the jalapeño shrimp corn chowder soup but decided to go with chicken noodle instead. Neither soup options were great for me so I'd probably choose a salad as an add on next time. The restaurant has an incredible historic story outlined in the cocktail menu and also seen in the ambiance. If we were in the area we'd eat here again but I'm not sure we'd make a special trip just for the chicken.

MUST HAVE IN CASTLE ROCK!The pan fried chicken is AMAZING! I was so excited to hear that the chicken is cooked in different oil than the fish! For someone that is allergic to fish, I don't get to enjoy fried chicken as much as others! The mash potatoes and veggies were a great combo! The bread, butter and honey is a great start!Our waitress was awesome and never had our drinks low! Can't wait to come back and try the bread pudding.
