"The review here is a little late coming, but I will say we really enjoyed this gem. We stumbled upon it looking for some warm drinks and a snack. Very cool vibe, just like I'd expect it to be. Cool urban setting with great drinks and good food. Reasonably priced and delivered with a smile. Thanks and we'll be back when we're in town!"

Illegal Pete's Lodo

★★★★☆ 4 (897) • $$

"Like chipotle but way better!! I got the bowl with the carnitas smothered in the Colorado style mix of queso and green chile pork. It was super tasty and very filling, with rice, beans, pico, salsa, and sour cream. Shout out to the cashier Elliot who was so incredibly friendly and kind. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The patio is nice but the misters were a little too intense imo. Would definitely recommend and return!"

Mimosas

★★★★☆ 4.2 (391) • $$

"Excellent Beignets & mimosas. I sat inside opposite the kitchen. Very clean & colorful. I started with the Sunrise mimosa. The very image of color. I added an order of Beignets with their house-made chocolate sauce. Richer than milk chocolate buy lighter than dark chocolate. A decadent treat for $12. I then had the Bellini mimosa with peach puree and the Avocado Benedict. Freshly made hollandaise with 2 poached eggs on arugula with breakfast potatoes. Quite good, but needed to be warmer. They have QR menus at each table, but paper menus are readily available. Their back patio is quite large.Jared F greeted me and served me. All good. The female owner said hello. I saw 3 EV charging stations nearby."

Ophelia's Electric Soapbox

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1132) • $$

"My wife and I attended a great concert there last night. "Mia X Alley" and we loved it. The concert was fabulous and the venue was first rate. Aside from being in the heart of Lodo, a place I despise and avoid whenever possible, it all worked out well. Parking was easy enough with a dozen paid parking garages and lots within easy walking distance. The venue itself is easy to find, clean and set up quite well. The door staff were nice and bartenders were friendly and easy to deal with. The drinks were reasonably priced and not watered down. This is a great place to watch a concert from several different levels. We would not hesitate to watch another concert here."

Postino Broadway

★★★★★ 4.5 (431) • $$

"Postino has consistently good food and I love the bruschetta board. There are so many varieties to choose from and they are all so tasty. They also have sandwiches and salads. This location has a nice patio out back - with umbrellas and misters to cool off. The service was quick and friendly. There is only street parking which could be hard to find but it's worth that minor inconvenience."

Bread+Salt

★★★★☆ 4.1 (49) • $$

"Bread & Salt offers a variety of breakfast options. The coffee was delicious. I ordered the 3+2+1 Challah French Toast. This is a simple breakfast with quality ingredients. I especially like that they serve real maple syrup and Colorado grown ingredients. During a weekday around 10:00 a.m. the place was not busy and service was great!"

Fluid Coffee Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (349) • $

"What a fun place! Stopped in while apartment-hunting with my daughter. She had a very yummy iced coffee with delicious things mixed in. Unfortunately I didn't listen to her order, but I did try her coffee. The baristas were so friendly and cheerful! A very welcoming vibe. Nice atmosphere with tables, chairs, a sofa, and local art for sale! Unfortunately, she won't be living on this block because the leasing agents at Uptown Square refused to show her an apartment because we were late. She found another apartment instead."

Parkside Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (51)

"Hubs and I are going on a Mommy Daddy mini getaway and needed a place for coffee and food. After some searching I found this joint. My husband cracks me up: as we walk in..."There's no one here!" That's his number one rule: people=good food. "It's also 10am and a weekday. Trust the process I say."We were greeted with excellent service by a young brunette lady..sorry I never got your name..rude of me right? ‍ We we're served excellent coffee which..I saw some reviews that criticized the coffee...life must be hard for you if that's your #1 complaint my friends. Too strong...add creamer. I settled on the avocado toast with sourdough bread while the hubs had the green chili omelette. Simple and freaking delicious! My compliments to the chef. Good service, yummy food, and a comfortable environment what else could you want!?"

The Delectable Egg

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (196) • $$

"I highly recommend this breakfast restaurant due to its extensive menu and varied choices. A Yelp check-in yielded an unexpected perk - a free cup of coffee. The coffee itself was impressively balanced, neither too strong nor too weak. Our waitress provided outstanding service, frequently refilling our cups. The generous portions ensure diners leave fully satisfied. While situated in a business park, the restaurant's lack of ambiance is easily overlooked given the exceptional quality of the food."

Panzano

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1245) • $$$

"Great dinner and service at Panzano on Wednesday night. I had a reservation for a large group, and the restaurant was great communicating with me as I ended up changing our quantity multiple times.We showed up a few minutes early for our 7:15 reservation, after I called a few hours earlier to bump it out from 6:15. Our waiter was great, and cocktails and appetizers (calamari and brussel sprouts) came out a short time later. They were both quite good.I went with the Pesce Fresco, especially after learning the white fish was halibut. It was wonderful...possibly the best piece of fish I've had since moving to Colorado. Asparagus was undercooked but wasn't horrible. Others in my group had the scallops, filet, and a few of the pasta dishes. All raved about their meals. Desserts were quite good as well. I had the chocolate mousse with almond bark concoction, while others had the tiramisu, sorbet, and a few other dishes. Everything was great."

Teller's Taproom & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (762) • $$

"Fish and Chips was 5 stars 100%~ especially for Denver. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. It's a large portion, definitely worth ordering.The prime rib sandwich was also delicious, but smaller in size compared to the fish and chips.The soda comes in very large mason jars.The food probably took about 30 minutes to come out, service was friendly.Overall, I was very satisfied here & would definitely come back besides the wait.Very recommended!"

Hits The Spot Diner

★★★★☆ 4.1 (217) • $$

"Hits The Spot can do what their name says. Hit that hungry spot!!A no fuss spot for breakfast and so affordable! Everything that you see on this review was $20 minus the tip! The food is straight up basic breakfast and tasty! No complain here! The staff are seasoned and attentive! I like looked around and noticed photos of old Hollywood stars from lone ago. Also, this diner is frequented by regulars. Love it!My special pancake was fluffy. My eggs came as requested ; over medium. My sausage although nothing to boast about in size was what sausage should be! seasoned well!So if you're looking for a bfast spot while you're in the west side do not hesitate to stop by and try this folks!"

Breakfast Queen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (468) • $$

"This place is an absolute institution, and I really appreciated them hosting our large group a few weeks ago. We were able to call and make reservations, and they were able to seat our large group right on time.The menu is extensive, the service is awesome, and everything is priced really reasonably. I enjoyed my breakfast skillet, and you know I'm trying the tater tot bowl soon!"

Danny Ray’s Food & Spirits

★★★★★ 4.5 (603) • $$

"Their former location on Wadsworth was okay so I was not eager to go here, however, a group of friends convinced me to give it a try. The dining room and bar areas are large and very noisy. Our party of 7 was seated in a curved booth which had adequate room for us and our food. Our masked waitress was very friendly and engaging as well as patient with our group of seniors. I ordered the Florentine skillet with an order of 2 pancakes. The dish came with potatoes and avocado slices and I believe hollandaise sauce. It was outstanding and there was so much food, I took half home. All in all I was impressed and will return sometime soon."

Leroy's Bagels

★★★★☆ 3.9 (330) • $

"Came here after a morning workout at Sloan Lake right down the street. I found parking in front of the building. Super long line that moved pretty slowly, but in my mind that means it's pretty good. Plus, I believe the specialty are the bagel sandwiches. It's a very small location so the line wrapped around all the indoor seats. Each bagel took around 8 - 10 minutes. I honestly didn't want to wait so I decided to grab a half a dozen bagels, side of creme cheese to take home. It all cost $15 dollar which was a pretty good deal and the bagels were delicious. I did take off a star because after waiting 30 minutes I didn't want to wait an additional ten for a sandwich. However, I plan on coming back hopefully when it's not so busy to give it a try. Also, the paper bag they gave me had a huge rip in it and when I grab it my bagels almost fell out. (Not to be dramatic but if I would have lost a bagel it would have been my 13th reason lol) Definitely plan on coming back and giving the bagel sandwich a try! Overall, 4/5 stars!"

Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (456) • $$

"We arrived to town after a long day of travel and just needed somewhere to get a good meal. We found this bistro and wine bar with a decent menu that has flatbread and burgers, though they are a little pricey I think it's apropos for the downtown area.The service was fine but a little short. It was still happy hour but they didn't offer us happy hour, though they did to the next table. We were too tired to argue. Ordered some spicy burger with cream cheese and it was amazing. Really hit the spot. Their cocktails are tasty. The cherry drink that came in a tall glass was too easy to drink at $15 each. The dining room is intimate, with nooks and crannies for small parties. I asked the server if the garlic fries come out crispy. He said they did but I asked for him to request a new dish. They were bad. They should have never left the kitchen. The pic included has the fresh fries that were perfect. Good spot for a decent meal in downtown. Just don't expect much."

The Delectable Egg-Denver

★★★★☆ 4.2 (759) • $$

"I've never once been impressed by anything at Delectable Egg, unfortunately. I've tried it several times now and every visit is underwhelming and my coworker who I go with some of the time agrees.Most recent was for avocado toast and mimosas. First of all, it was bread not really "toast". Second, it was super thick brioche type stuff (yuck) I don't want a ton of bread, I'm not ordering the dish for the bread, I'm ordering it for the avocado. Next, it was an avocado "spread" there weren't actual avocados on it. Worst of all, the avocado spread was put on very thin like you would butter. So, for all of these reasons, this was the worst avocado toast I've ever had anywhere in my life. I've had better at a Courtyard Marriott cafe. It also doesn't come with an egg. Yeah, I can pay extra and pay extra but I feel the dish should include it in the price already. No egg at Delectable Egg -- how strange.As mentioned in a previous review, I wasn't impressed by the crepes, either. I struggled each visit of what to order from the menu -- but not because of why you might think. Most times we struggle what to order because too many things sound good, but on this menu it's the opposite for me, I struggle trying to find something that does sound good. Much of it is so carb heavy with bread and potatoes. I guess that's not so different from other spots, but I just am not a fan. There is so much better food/brunch/breakfast options around. I'm sorry to say, but I am only being honest which is what reviews are all about. Staff is pretty friendly so that's nice. The mimosas are $25 for a carafe and they charge you a few dollars more if you want the juice on the side, which I think we should all be the ones to decide the juice vs. prosecco ratio ourselves and to our personal tastes. They should just serve it that way as a standard, IMHO."

1801 Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (25) • $

"1801 Eatery has been my 'go to' place for the past 4 years. Even during COVID, I could always count on them for a great lunch or a quick snack. This family run business excels at customer service --- and makes sure you leave with a smile on your face.While I do like my regular Chicken Caesar Wrap, they have an amazing burger/fries and Chicken Enchiladas (special only on Thursdays). Breakfast is always a treat there too. The breakfast burritos are fantastic (note - they are very large) --- but many times I just grab some scrabbled eggs for around $2. I can't stress enough about the staff here. They sincerely care about their customers. TIP: You can never go wrong with their daily specials --- but be sure to get there before early, because many times they are sold out."

Tlaquesalsa

★★★★☆ 4 (58)

"This place was hard to find. Google maps took me to Lamar's donuts. I almost gave up but they had a sign in the driveway advertising tamales so I figured they must be there. I found this restaurant by the urgent care center. It was a small location, no seating inside or out. So Yelp is wrong about outdoor seating available, unless you want to sit on the sidewalk curb. The steak tacos were so yummy! And the hot salsa was delicious as well. Spicy and flavorful but not burn your face off hot. I can't wait to try more."

Stoney's Uptown Joint

★★★★☆ 4.2 (196) • $$

""TOUCHDOWN STONEY'S"If you want to watch a sporting game out, go to Stoney's Uptown. It's like walking into a fishbowl of litty big-screen TVs, rowdy cheering fans, hustling servers, clinking draft beers and slinging bar food. You'll run into fans of your team and the other teams, but that is what makes the atmosphere fun! You'll get the thrill of looking at someone and with your eyes saying, "We are coming for you... on the _________!" (insert field, court, ring, horse, whatever event is on)Thanks to the Colts vs. Texans game, we discovered this. With a decent size party, I was curious how seating would work. Quickly, I learned there was no need to worry. It's open seating and there's lots of it, even a pretty big patio for a nice day. Our party easily found a spot in the fairly busy Stoney's. Our waitress may of been the MVP of the experience. She had a great sense of humor and handled our party of 12 with ease. She never missed a drink or food order, which always impresses me when you have a big party. There was a SHIP load of items ordered by our table. Maybe all the appetizers? Haha. I did not try them all, however, what caught my tastebuds the most was the Sweet Potato Fries. They had a sneaky blend of sugar, spice n' everything nice on them, and were the LEAD BACK who could have kept breaking my self-control. We'd definitely go back to Stoney's Uptown for a game!"

"Before boarding the flight to Florida from Denver we were looking for place to have quick breakfast and we were looking for the local place.We decided to have breakfast from Etai's Bakery Cafe. It is a small cafe having indoor and outdoor seating with the warm atmosphere. The cafe was clean and staff was friendly.From the menu we decided to order California Omelette, Garden Avocado Salad, Falafel with Tahini Sauce, Acai Energy Smoothie and bakery food.The service was good and we got our breakfast soon.The bakery products were good, delicious and made with fresh bread.Omelette as well as salad along with falafel were delicious too. Great breakfast options at Etai's Bakery Cafe along with the smoothie."

Sam's No 3 - Downtown

★★★★☆ 4.1 (2946) • $$

"Diners in New York are a sacred thing. We have diners that have been around for decades. The beauty of the diners are menus that are multiple pages filled with everything from hamburgers to Lasagna and Spinach Pies to Lemon Meringue Pies.I came here with my wife and two friends and within a few minutes our server came over, introduced herself and took a drink order. She returned with our drinks and took our food order. It did not take long for her to come back with a very loaded tray.Soups, Open face Turkey, BLT's and Friend Chicken... This is everything that you would expect to find being eaten at the diner. Food was good, fresh and hot. Service was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive to our table needs and the mood of the diner was great. Lots of electricity in the air and people really looked like they were enjoying themselves. What more can a restaurant ask for?Kudos to the team at Sam's No 3 - Downtown."

El Taco De Mexico

★★★★☆ 3.8 (772) • $$

"I've driven past El Taco De Mexico so many times and didn't visit until recently. We stopped by for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning and were able to find a table easily. The service was super quick so it was not an issue that they were busy with limited seating. The smothered potato breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious! It was a large burrito and could be easily split. I also enjoyed the horchata. It's a local Mexican spot that is no frills but I loved my experience and will certainly be back."

""Denver's Best Pancakes"?I'll be the judge.Verdict is: YESSSS!My husband is a pancake connoisseur and with Wendell's boasting the title of "Best pancakes in Denver", I knew just the place to meet my mother-in-law for a breakfast date!We arrived just after 9:30 to a bustling Tennyson St filled with folks who clearly had the same idea we did! After circling the block, we snagged a spot out front to park just a few short steps away from the entrance! Parking in this area is a bit tough, but once you see a spot, snag it! Beware - the nearby businesses have parking for their customers only - which many people fail to see - so just FYI!My mother-in-law was already seated a cozy booth in the rear near the window and to my surprise, the space wasn't packed! The space itself is super unique with exposed brick, bright white walls, cozy booths and a large oak booth across from the massive community table! It exudes all the best touches creating the perfect vibe for brunch!Brunch isn't brunch without 3 different beverages, so I started my morning off with hot coffee, water and a spring cocktail - the Elderflower Spritz! Beautiful and floral and light - the perfect sip! Our server, who name escapes me now, was beyond friendly, welcoming and sat right down with us to discuss the menu, specials and everything in between! She knew her stuff, cracked jokes with us, had our coffee never see the bottom of the cup and made our entire experience enjoyable!Now onto the food! Hubs opted for the Wendell Junior - featuring Two Eggs Any Style, Seasoned Hashbrowns, Ham and subbed toast for the famous pancakes! All I can say is WOW! The pancakes were dense with flavor but fluffy and light, was sweet but wasn't TOO sweet and absolutely delicious! We are OG pancake people in that we like just butter and syrup on top and this did not disappoint! I chose to nosh on a spring special - the Brisket Poutine which hadSmoked Brisket, Seasoned Hashbrowns, Carolina Bacon Gravy, Fried Cheese Curds, Two Sunny Side Up Eggs - and YUM. I'm not a huge brisket girlie but it was crisp, light and all the flavors melded together juuuuuust right for one delicious bite!We also chose to sample the Chicken and Waffles which were oh so good. The chicken was spicy and crispy, yet sweet when mixed with the waffles - with plenty to take home!Look out Wendell - we will back!!"

Cafe de France

★★★★☆ 3.9 (182)

"I've passed by many a time while shopping at King Sooper or getting sushi right next door (Yama Sushi is awesome by the way!), but decided to come check out this place with some friends one morning for brunch. It felt nice to sit outside at a high top table since the weather was pleasant that day. The food was good, although definitely on the pricey side. I tried the monte cristo and French onion soup- yum! The only thing was that our server was a bit odd... he was listening to our conversation as he was clearing our plates and then jumped into our conversation and brought up a fairly inappropriate topic. Also, the clientele sitting inside (At least that day) were all over 60, so definitely a popular spot with the older crowd!"

Juice Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (53) • $

"Yummy healthy goodness! I was craving a healthy but filling mid-morning snack and this fit the bill. I ordered the '#4 Juice Blend': carrots, apple, beets, spinach, and ginger with a 'wellness boost' thrown in for good measure. My only regret is that I did not get the 32 oz cup because everything about this juice was amazing! The flavors blended together perfectly and with every sip I could almost feel every cell in my body rejoicing.I love how they also sell healthy snacks (e.g. Nature's Bakery fig bars, which I'm slowly becoming obsessed with!) in addition to these delicious and nutritious juices. It's very hard to eat (and drink) right while on the road, and I'm so grateful for this place. PRO-TIP: Don't make the same mistake I did: get the full size. Just do it. You won't regret it."
