Platte River Bar and Grill

I like this place. It's friendly, unassuming, and a great place to meet friends for a beer and/or dinner. Our waitress was friendly and happy to split the bill four ways for us.I had a steak fajita burrito, and the steak was better than I expected: it was lean, well-seasoned, and tender.

Though this place was busy on a Wednesday at lunch, they were definitely quick and attentive to our larger party. One of the couples frequented Platte River so I went with their burger suggestion. My burger had the perfect amount of sweet and spicy. I wish the patty would have been a tad larger to stand up to all the toppings but otherwise it was a great burger for a great price.

Came with family and we asked to site outside because it was such a wonderful day and the weather was beautiful. We were led out to their huge outdoor patio and seated in an area that overlooks the parking lot, the trail head for the path along the South Platte River. The inside of this restaurant is so fun with seats created out of car parts, like the tail lights, the grill, etc. We are glad we chose to sit outside.Server was Billy, who was so personable and we thank him for his great service! The two alcoholic drinks ordered were the spicy bloody Mary and the Modelita Michelada, which both people raved about! We also ordered the chips and salsa and a bowl of the Queso, both of which were fresh, just the right amount of spice, and so good! We came for lunch and dishes ordered included the Smothered Chicken & Bean Burrito. It was huge and filled with lots of chicken and beans and covered with a great green pork chili sauce. I thought it was a bit spicy but everyone else loved it!Also had the chicken Caesar wrap, the taco plate, and I had the patty melt. Everyone raved and I posted pictures. My patty melt was so good, with lots of cheese and grilled onions and I asked for the thousand island on the side and asked for yellow mustard because that's what I love to dip my melt in! Also got the tots, which were fried to toasty perfection. A fantastic patty melt. We also ordered the kids mac and cheese and our kiddo loved it! Looked like Kraft Mac & Cheese but she loved it!While we were there, there was a live band setting up. They were great to the kids who were hanging around checking things out. What a fun place with great food!

Arrived at opening, greeted quickly and seated promptly. Our service was perfect and the ambiance quiet and comfortable. However we were all less than enamored with the food. There were plenty of selections but we all seemed to gravitate to the lunch special which gave the options of taco, tostado and burrito. (2 of them) Meh... this could have been a fast food restaurant with the quality of the food. The lettuce tasted as though it had been cut the night before- ---/small portions-----disappointing. Here we thought ordering the 2 item combo we would have some leftovers. Not the case. We decided we won't be back.

Rounding up from a 3.5. Service and ambiance are great. Huge space, lots of TVs, amazing patios - would be a great spot to watch a game.Food was average but we might have ordered wrong. Would definitely give it another try though!

This is the spot if you want to meet up with friends, listen to music, drink some beers and relax. The food is good but I wouldn't say it's anything mind blowing. I got their Turkey bacon wrap and really enjoyed it. It can get busy on weekends and evenings so be aware there may be a wait, but they do try to get you in quickly.

The deck, sports on TV and some live music are the biggest redeeming qualities . The food is average and the service is poor. Servers seem to talk to their regulars and then wait on tables out of order being seated. 20 minutes till we were waited on and one waiter just visited with his table. Piss poor. Come for the view and getting over served if you like getting drunk.

I have been going to this place for years, ever since I moved to Denver 16 years ago. I hadn't been in a while though and suggested we enjoy the patio when some relatives came in from out of town. I read the most recent reviews (within the last year) and there were a ton of negative ones about poor service, bad drinks, and some rodents on the patio. I will say, I was shocked to read these. First of all this patio backs up to the green belt, the Platte River and a bunch of beautiful trees and some wildlife. I am sure it would be extremely difficult to keep rid of any mice. I personally haven't seen anything but I could see how that happens. I have never had anything short of great service here. Including last night. I honestly cannot remember the server's name, but she had long black hair, a cool Colorado flag/heart tattoo on her arm and was a fantastic server. She was funny, quick and had a great personality. No waiting 20 minutes for drinks with her. We all got various margaritas and all of them were delicious. No complaints. I will also say that this place holds a piece of my heart. It was where my husband and I had out first date 15 years ago and where we got engaged also. But aside from that my review still stays the same. Great patio with a ton of space and seating. They expanded the inside and it now has more space for seating. The menu is pretty large with something for anyone's tastebuds. They have a great green chile! Overall I highly recommend this place and will continue to keep going back.

I've been going here for years! I had my college graduation here, my 21st and 25th birthday were here, it's always been amazing! Friendly staff, great drinks (gummy bear shot is the best), and just a great vibe overall!

Crazy reading all these reviews with only 4 star ratings, this place deserves a 6. The Philly was immaculate, the turkey wrap was the best my bf has ever had he said he's taking home to eat later to experience joy for a second time. Our waiter Tony needs a raise. When I asked for mayo he brought me the whole bottle. I went crazy with it.
