Manning's Steaks and Spirits

Went here for my birthday dinner. The food was fabulous. We shared the calamari, I ordered a steak with bleu cheese butter, my friend had steak frites. We shared the skillet cookie for dessert. My friend had a few cocktails, espresso martini, lemon martini & cherry pie martini, & enjoyed them all! They brought a card to the table which was a nice touch.The whole space was a bit more casual than I anticipated which was welcomed.

Starting with the good: I cannot say enough about the service. We were excited not to go into downtown or some fancy place for steak. And they were able to seat us and the employees were great. Prices are reasonable. And plenty of parking around their lot. Not so positive: steaks didn't really have flavor (the meat itself, not the seasoning). Mac and cheese was grainy and even my kids didn't want it (). I got scallops as a side, but was kind of disappointed that there were only two & they were also just okay. The stuffed potato that we tried was neutral. Nothing special. And the seafood pasta was ok in flavor but seafood was overcooked. Maybe we were there on an off night but I say it's worth your try for sure!

Bone in ribeye was not cooked correctly.Mac n cheese was a laughing stock of all Mac n cheese. The server was average. I have no desire to return. Then don't... yup i won't.....

SEP2024We came in for a friends outing. Everything was in high chairs where we were seated though we did have a tv on nearby for the game. Service was friendly and helpful with any questions, water refills infrequent.Since there wasn't really much of a vegetarian meal specifically and I didn't feel like a salad, I got practically everything else on the menu side wise. My partner's order was much easier as she got the ribeye. Between us we got the mac n cheese, the orzo, broccoli mornay, brussel sprouts, along with happy hour shishito peppers, truffle tots, and the beef tips for good measure. Everything was pretty good I'd say. Ribeye was a little overdone, but the different vegetable dishes were cooked well. Needed a bit of salt overall to round out the taste, but that's easy to fix at least. The one I liked among them was the orzo. Nice light on the butter, and would be a great addition as a side.

Manning's came highly recommended by a talkative and friendly Uber driver. Maybe I built up too high of expectations, but my experience was marginal. Or pretty "mid" as the kids would say. Maybe it was a bad first impression- I made a reservation on the restaurant's linked Resy site days before. Saturday, 6 p.m. for 2 in the main dining room. However, when we arrived (on time), the kind host had no such reservation. Luckily he had a high top table in the sun/patio room in an otherwise packed restaurant. The patio room had overhead heaters and was comfortable, moderately loud from the busy atmosphere, and offered a casual, low frill, bar and grill environment. Service was good- very friendly server and attentive staff.Food was decent but not extra ordinary. We ordered the Caesar salad (split), 12 oz NY strip ($30) with lemon orzo pasta, and 7 oz filet ($30) with order of scallops ($12) and side of asparagus. Of these, the best item was the Caesar salad which for $16, it should be. Dressing had excellent flavor and accompaniments were fantastic, and salad was fresh. The steaks came cooked as ordered but were average. I question the quality of cuts. Definitely not prime or choice, suspect select cuts based on the tenderness and flavor. Scallops were cooked right but tasted fishier than they should- probably should have known better than ordering fish in Colorado. Asparagus and orzo was cooked appropriately and had good flavor. Whiskey cocktails ($14 each) including the old fashioned and peach sour, were enjoyable.

My husband and I have had our eye on Manning's since we moved to the area about 4 months ago and always drive past it. We saw how reasonable the pricing is for a Steakhouse and its lowkey location and wanted to visit at some point. We decided to finally go for a special dinner with family visiting and it was a great experience!We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Thursday and luckily were able to be seated right away. It was busy!We both ordered New York Strips cooked medium with Fully Loaded Baked Potato side and the Red Pepper Chimichurri Sauce. My mom ordered the Boneless Ribeye with the House Salad side and Honey Lime Vinaigrette. The Ribeye was tender and was perfectly seasoned. My NY Strip was overcooked, but had an amazing crust and flavor regardless. The Chimichurri sauce is a 10/10 and added depth of flavor with its herby vinegar punch. Kyle was the staff member that gave us attentive, friendly and incredible service for our dinner. He asked how our meals were and we admittedly told him my New York strip was overcooked to which he apologized and offered to have it remade. We really appreciated it but the steak was still delicious and a redo was not necessary. Kyle offered us a free dessert instead as a way to make up for the error. He had an upbeat attitude and he worked very hard during the time we were dining. We decided on the tiramisu which was not too sweet, had a soft silky texture and the perfect portion size after a big meal. The food and service were great and we will definitely be back again for a special meal at Manning's. The atmosphere was casual and there was upbeat music playing in the background. I would recommend making a reservation just to ensure you can get a table!

My wife and I wanted a nice steakhouse while we visited Colorado and we were certainly let down here. My go to is a Filet Oscar Style. This was the worst one I've ever had. The hollandaise sauce was very poor. It tasted like velveta cheese. The crab that they put on it was very low quality as well. The steak was cooked a little over and wasn't seasoned very well either. The mac n cheese I had as my side was okay. I did finish that. I ended up finishing the steak but I had to wipe off the hollandaise. The steak reminded me of a lower quality steak, not a filet. The service definitely added a star to my review. The staff was kind and attentive. The restaurant ambiance was more of a roadhouse than a steakhouse, but honestly that doesn't bother me at all. We aren't overly fancy people. We just wanted good food and that was not found here.

Great steak and cookie skillet. Very well seasoned and the side of Mac was also a great addition. Will definitely be going back!

Brought brother from out of town here, with the expectation Manning's would deliver a fantastic meal. They Delivered. FIRST THINGS FIRST: even though it will cap your meal as a dessert, whatever you do, save room for dessert and get the SKILLET COOKIE. Toolhouse hot fresh choc chip cookie in a 6" skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. You Need This In Your Life! Do yourself a favor and save room to cap off your meal with this!Brother got the Bechamel Steak Sandwich and said it was fantastic.My go to here? Bechamel Mac N Cheese, WITH the addition of their Mushroom Gruyere Sayce poured over the top. If you want mac b cheese taken to a completely different dimension, get the Mushroom Gruyere Sauce ($5), and mix it in. It'll change the way you look at M&C...guaranteed.Of course, we saved room for the aforementioned Skillet Cookie. No joke, it takes you mentally to a food Happy Place you may have not known existed. We sat at the bar, as tables were a 45 min wait at 7p on Fri night. Service was a shade slower than preferred, but staff was cordial & professional. Manning's, thank you for making this a dynamite meal for my visiting brother. Food was stellar once again.

Food, service, and environment is top tier. Friendly staff, amazing food, and all around a great experience! Highly recommend if you're looking for a bite.
