Root Down

For airport food, Root Down is pretty decent (as well as the Mercantile Dining & Provision at the A gate wing, which I think is one of the best airport food I've had)! The dining area is adjacent to a small open market, and is in the "food court" area of the wing. If you get a seat by the window, you'll be able to watch the planes fly in and out, which is calming. Notably, the portions are large, as I'd rather pay more for a decent meal rather than an oily, greasy fast food option if I can help it. The service was also positive, chirpy, and attentive - great experience! My party and I were seated quickly and had water immediately upon being seated. Food quality is good as far as airport food goes. My party ordered the Bahn Mi Turkey Burger with sweet potato fries, Ramen, and 1/2 Soup + 1/2 Salad. The plates are super large, even for the 1/2 salad so if you're not ravenous, you could probably order just one entree and share it with another person. The sweet potato fries were decent, and the turkey burger was supple (and healthy-tasting with fresh ingredients) though it tasted nothing like Bahn Mi - it's more Bahn Mi inspired with the addition of jalapeno and cilantro. The ramen was overly salty, and my party and I diluted it by ordering a cup of hot water. The soup and salad were delicious and super fresh, recommend getting this entree! If I had a long layover and wanted to treat myself, would be happy to return.

Seated fast and had coffee and water instantly at the bar. A bit of an egg shortage ixnayed the breakfast tacos, so I went with the burrito. Served with potatoes, greens, with salsa and an avocado dressing/sauce. This is the 2nd time I've eaten here, 1st time breakfast. Food came out fast and piping hot. Friendly service, even tho he was a buckeye fan. Burrito was very good, and the potatoes were a nice surprise, diced red, sweet, and white, pan fried. Just great. I have no reason to eat anywhere else at DIA.

I believe this is the best food I've ever had in an airport.I stopped here on my way home from a business trip and was very impressed.The staff was great, the wait-time was short (with quick-service) and the food flavors were excellent.I tried the Colorado Lamb Sliders and Jalapeño Cornbread and they were both extremely tasty.I highly recommend this restaurant if you're traveling through the Denver airport, especially in-favor of mediocre large chain-restaurants around it.

Stopped by Root Down at the Denver airport and had an excellent experience. I ordered the lamb slider, which was absolutely incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My wife had the ramen, and she loved it as well. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Despite being at a busy airport, the wait was minimal, and the atmosphere was great for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend if you're passing through DEN!

Hands down my favorite restaurant to eat at and pass the time during a layover in Denver. This place was so good that I sought out the flagship restaurant in the city to enjoy the more expansive menu. They have a variety of seating options as well as food and beverages. I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have to offer- salads, brunch items as well as hearty options.

We had a long layover in Denver and decided to grab dinner here. The hostess at the door was really rude. Then again, decent service isn't always something you can expect at an airport. But our server was very friendly and made up for it.I ordered the lamb sliders, which were delicious for the first few bites, but after a while, they became really salty. The sweet potato fries were excellent though and I reallyenjoyed those! My boyfriend got the salmon salad, which was decent but nothing out of the ordinary.Was it worth the price? Not really. But it's a convenient spot to grab a drink or a quick meal while waiting for your flight.

Got to the airport this morning, and I usually fly out of terminal B but this time I flew out of terminal C and I have eaten here before and enjoyed it the last time, my server was great. Was able to get a table by the window, kept it simple and I ordered the Chorizo and egg tacos with sweet potato fries with an orange juice and water, even though the place was busy, my food arrived promptly and man talk about delicious. The sweet potatoes were hot, and slightly crispy like I like them and served with a salsa and ketchup, the chorizo tacos were topped with a creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. This dish was big enough for two people to split, very clean and I believe my server's name was Whitty, anyways if you're looking for a place to eat breakfast or lunch, they have a full bar and comfortable seating. Looking forward to eating here again on my next trip.

What a lovely addition to DIA. All my reviews take gluten free (GF) / Celiac accommodations into consideration and Root Down really did well in this department. They have a dedicated frier for GF foods & offered a great GF burger replacement. The server I spoke with appeared knowledgable and was able to alleviate all of my concerns by making it apparent she'd been trained on GF needs. I always so appreciate that! Root Down feels like a small oasis in the middle of DIA. It gets busy & crowded but such is the airport. I loved my meal, the service, the accessible outlets, and the view. Would come back.

Yummy airport food is hard to find. This is what we needed to fuel the rest of the day of traveling. The ramen had fresh crunchy bokchoy and kimchi. If you're in gate C please try here.

In Terminal C at the top of the escalators. Packed Sunday evening and were seated at the bar. Bartenders were quick and on it. Good cocktails.Tried the turkey club with sweet potatoe waffle fries. Pretty good sandwhich and the fries were good.
