Cherry Cricket

The Cherry Cricket has always been a staple for me and I'm happy to still see it thriving in Cherry Creek North. Everything is changing in that area. It's good to be at an original restaurant in the area. The carpet in the main dining room was ripped out. The restaurant must have bought the outside area a.k.a. backyard from the dry cleaning company that owned the property for so long.The majority of the food we ordered were appetizers. We had the:Hot herbed artichoke dipPretzel sticks & quesoCrispy mac & cheese bitesGuacamole & salsaI also ordered a cup of R&C pork green chili, which came with a warm tortilla.The food was just as good as I remembered it from the past. I will always come back to the Cherry Cricket in Cherry Creek North.

This venue's noise level was unreasonably high, precluding conversation with those nearby. Tables were positioned too closely, causing discomfort. The crowd was predominantly young, and alcohol consumption intensified the ambiance. Disappointingly, the Chili Verde failed to match the quality of the ballpark location's earlier serving. Service was predictable, given the full tables and numerous drink requests. My visit ended with unfulfilled hunger, making my expenditure a poor value.

Not sure why it took me so long to try cherry cricket but now that I have, I'm obsessed. Stopped in late on a Sunday night and it was still crowded! We got seated promptly and service was fast and timely. We got 2 burgers and they were kind enough to cut it for us and bring it out separately with separate pickles on each which we were pleasantly surprised by. The jammin poblano burger is probably the best burger I've had in a while. The big cheesy was also objectively really good. And the chipotle aioli was a must for the fries (which are ordered separately). Was really impressed by how delicious the burgers were and the vibes were also fun and energetic without being overwhelming. 100% will be back.

Cherry Cricket, the famed black sheep of Cherry Creek, somehow still impresses after all these years. Hailed as one of Denver's best burger places, I'm shocked if anyone says they don't have an enjoyable burger here.When you see the legendary Duffy's sign you know you're in the right place. Entering the restaurant I've mostly received weird interactions upon entry. They do, in fact, seat you, but often times I've had bad luck and find myself waiting for an employee to seat us.There are plenty of dining rooms indoors like booths, community tables, and bar seating. But the Cricket is known for their massive outdoor patio. Part of it is covered underneath a gigantic tent set up, the other picnic table style seating overlooking the foot traffic of Cherry Creek.What to order at the Cricket? They do have some signature burgers they're known for that have won awards at burger festivals. The green chile relleno burger stands out because I don't know how they invented this concoction, but it's a beast of a burger that has DENVER written all over it.More often than not, the Cricket Burger is the pro move. A customizable half pound burger with the toppings of your choice. The one I had the other night was with American Cheese, Bacon, and Jalapeños. It was cooked perfectly, an undeniable beefy flavor. It was a damn memorable burger.Oh. And the frings (with ranch) are a MUST.The knock of the star just boils down to the restaurant being too big, which means occasionally you feel like the forgotten stepchild depending on if your section is busy or not. On multiple occasions the service has been incredibly slow. Other than that, I'll continue to support this Denver institution.Here's to another 50 years, Cricks!

Slow staff but delicious food all the way around. Never miss on their burgers! I got their burger of the month always look for that special! The wings are a great choice as well. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They also have HUGE burritos Their turkey burgers are great too! Onion rings are on pointAmbiance is a vibe gives you a feel of local dive bar vibe.

FoodI had a decent burger, this place has severalDifferent types of sauces on each of their burgers and a create your own option. Some of their signature burgers had ingredients I typically don't eat but I took a chance on caramelized onions. It was a sweet burger overall but everything else was cooked well. The fries were also pretty good. They offer huge drinks in the red Coca Cola cups so that was nice. Service The waiter was friendly and checked in frequently enough for a decent tip from me. About 4 check ins in 20 minutes or so which is good in my book.Ambiance This place is very hipster with different types of stickers on the walls, a bar, and an outside area for families to eat if they choose. There are booths next to the window where you can see shoppers in the nearby district. Solid place, check it out if you're in the area.

Yikes my first not so good review!! This is not my first time at Cherry Cricket and I was really excited to be back. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. First, beer batter fries are always 10/10. However, burger seemed like it was from a box. Not impressed. Don't come for the drinks. I ordered the same drink and tasted completely different the second time. The server said it's because the bartenders were super busy....It happened to be a windy day. A gust of wind sent an umbrella with a table flying. A gal from my party went to pick it up before it flew into the next restaurant and a kind gentleman at a table close by came to help. Not one server came over to help. Then no employee went around and closed the umbrellas at the other non occupied tables. Safety hazard! Finally, there is a 3.5% surcharge so the business can "pay their back staff employees"... how about you raise each dish by $0.20 and pay your employees accordingly. This is a restaurant in one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, part of Denver. Cheesy. I will say it's very family and dog friendly.

We came to Cherry Cricket on several recommendations. We were not disappointed. The burgers were amazingly fresh and tasty, and service was friendly and accommodating.Next time in Denver, we will definitely stop by again!

Authentic. Neighborhoody. Come as you're dressed. No questions....The 1/4 pound build your own burger was perfectly cooked and my added avocado and caramelized onions hit the spot. The potato bun was fresh and crispy where it needed to be and spongy where it needed to be.Glad to see a place like this, which has been around since 1946, still care about the quality of the food. Sassy and friendly wait service as well. I would definitely return next time I'm in town....

It's been many years since being here but I was so happy to see that they remained true. Best burger place in Denver with food and service. Ask for Birdie to serve you. She is a fantastic server. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Honestly, the best meal I've had in years.
