Cherry Cricket - Littleton

★★★★☆ 4 (440) • $$

"En route to Denver, I ended up sitting next to a very nice guy with whom I conversed during our flight. When I told him that we were going to be staying in Littleton during our visit, he recommended Cherry Cricket for "the best burgers in town." Cousin Aly said that she heard the same about this restaurant, so we chose to go here for our last dinner in Colorado on Monday, June 24, 2024. I was super stoked because we were able to bring Disco (Alyssa's dog) with us.We arrived shortly after 9 PM sans reservations. After a short wait, with Disco in tow, we were led straight into the patio via an outdoor gate. We had our pick of tables as only two to three were already occupied. There was a big space for dogs and kids to play on the turf. Inside appeared to be about two spacious dining rooms. The venue was well kept and tidy. Even the women's restroom was very clean.Below are the items that we ordered:FRINGS ($8.50) - We started off with this SIDE of half FRIES and half ONION RINGS to share. These were so yummy that we ordered two more full size orders of each.FRIES ($9) - Through yelp photos, we were expecting wedge fries, but were pleasantly surprised to be served regular french fries. These were good. Perhaps the STEAK FRIES are the wedge version?ONION RINGS ($9) - Excellently fresh and crispy.MUSHROOM REUBEN ($13) - This was Alyssa's order which she enjoyed.TACOS, carnitas ($13.50) - Auntie Ligaya went with the recommendation of carnitas. When she ate her tacos, she wished that she had gone with the seasoned ground beef instead. Build Your Own Burgers, LITTLE CRICKET ($9 + $2 for pretzel bun + $1.50 for smoked cheddar) - Mom and I had to go this route for sure. I mean, this is what Cherry Cricket is popular for, their burgers. Mom made the mistake of skipping out on the pretzel bun, which she regretted after seeing mine, but she still fully enjoyed her hamburger. Mine was better, I'm sure.Our fabulous server was Nick. We appreciated his humour, personal input on dishes, and patience. He took very good care of us. We will definitely ask for him when we return!That's right, you heard me - we will come back when we visit the Denver area again. Cherry Cricket serves some great food at reasonable prices. You can't beat a joint like this to bring the whole family, Fido included!"

"Stopped by for a drink and snack before the Rockies game. I was a little hesitant about the price ($12 for 3 tenders??) but oh my goodness it was worth it. Those chickens tenders were GOOD. Our bartender was also great and it was a well put together vibe.There's also a bunch of games to play here! I would definitely take my friends back :) Great addition to the neighborhood."

Society Sports And Spirits

★★★★★ 4.5 (314) • $$

"Absolutely love this cute little spirit store. I like that it's downstairs so there's not too much traffic being upstairs in downtown Denver. The staff was absolutely amazing. We went to their business three times during our trip. They were very kind in opening our minds and giving us suggestions on different types of liquor to buy and how to make the drinks. I also want to give them a big ups for having an extremely clean facility. It smelt good in there. The music was amazing. And the prices were beyond appropriate. Especially for being downtown on St. Patrick's Day weekend."

Hopper's Sports Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (65)

"The bartender was attentive and took orders quickly. I tried their Tommyknocker IPA (was a bit too hoppy for me) and the Avalanche Ale (wasn't as good as I've had in the past, but not bad and surprised they had beer from Breckenridge and Idaho Springs available). The jalapeno bacon cheeseburger wasn't bad. I really liked the jam on it and the jalapenos actually had some heat to them. The cream cheese was pretty basic and so was the bacon. It came out reasonably quick and the fries were decent also. We sat out back and the rest of the group watched a game, played volleyball, and played baggo. Prices were good and they have weekend happy hour also.I parked in the back because it was a bit of an awkward layout of you don't approach from the front. Try to park up front if you can."

"Casual lunch in a welcoming restaurant with plenty of room and not much noise. Service was friendly and the food hot and tasty. The cauliflower nuggets were crispy and gluten free. A special treat for me. The sweet potato fries were crispy outside and soft inside. The best I've ever had!We hope to come back again on our next trip to Denver!"

"Casual dining, scrumptious food and after a day of hiking a cool beer and hard cider made it a complete 10/10!Downtown Golden Colorado has lots of places to choose from for dining and we picked one of the best! Friendly, fast service reasonable prices, mystery beer deals on Thursday. What more could you want?The menu has clever wording to describe the options for food. We got a Mountain Fig Pizza. Delightful flavors to the palette! Yes, I will be frequenting this restaurant again, as should you! The beer and ciders are cold and go down easy on a hot day!"

"Great divvy place in the middle of cherry creek. Good bar food and always a great place to catch the games. Food is good. Service is great recommend coming to the bar. This place does get packed with people. Ambiance is great and homie. Always have specials for week days on beer or food and on the weekend have great discounts."

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!"

"Guess who's new in the neighborhood? Joe Willy's! We work right across the street so have been dying for this spot to open and we certainly aren't disappointed! The smash burger is a smash, the fries are incredible and they even give you some really yummy cinnamon bread while you wait. The owner and his staff are incredible as well. We are quickly becoming regulars and we aren't mad about it."

"Stopped in here to day for lunch after spending the early afternoon at the train museum right down the street. We were immediately met be a restaurant that was clean, spacious, well lit and friendly. There was plenty of same close on parking. Our waitress was a beautiful and friendly woman named Reilly. She was on top of everything. We got our beer, which was cold, within two minutes or ordering it. Then came our pretzel stick appetizer that was and yummy. The cheese and the brown mustard for dipping is classic and perfect. Ten minutes later. Our meals showed up. A bean burrito, a Tex burger and a Teriyaki burger. All the food was hot, fresh and tasty. Reilly continued checking on us until we were ready to leave. This was a top notch experience for location, food, price and service. Thank you Reilly for the first class service and effort."

The DNVR Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (33)

"I read a lot of reviews that were less than positive. Frankly, I don't get it. I had superior service while I was here. The beers were cold and they had a solid tap list. My food, the Forsburger was pretty freaking tasty. Yeah, it came in at medium well when I had asked for medium rare, but it still was delicious. The onion rings as my side were quite tasty. Yes, I used to really enjoy the 3 Lions that was here, and I still miss it. But, this is a worthy successor to the space. There are a lot of sports bars around, but this one is doing a very nice job of it."

"On our second to the last bar on our bar crawl celebrating my 60th birthday in Littleton we came across here. Unfortunately they were on last call but we got a shot in and a drink.

★★★★☆ 3.8 (415) • $$

"Park Burger has become somewhat of an institution in Denver and I can see why.There locations are great. Designs are nice. Menus are varied with something for everyone. Good service and wallet friendly prices.I went out with two friends and we all ordered the veggie burger ( it is not that synthetic crap from beyond or impossible ) which is a great handmade patty made from grains. It is a delicious alternative to beef, turkey, chicken etc.Their milkshakes are delicious and made with good stuff.Fries and tater tots are good but the seasoning was so so. I would go with plain old fried taters.Nice parking lot in the back.Complete bar with a good selection of beers on tap.Great service...thank you Bailey you were great.Highly recommended."

"Review of Mint Indian Restaurant and LoungeI recently dined at Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge while attending a conference at a nearby hotel, and I must say, the experience was delightful. The ambiance of the place is simple yet comfortable, complemented by pleasant background music that enhances the dining experience without being intrusive.Upon arrival, the host was very welcoming, offering recommendations that did not disappoint. The vegetable samosas were a perfect start - crispy on the outside with a flavorful, well-spiced filling. I usually go with meat samosas as the vegetable ones have in the past been a little bland. Nope, not these, they were very good. The butter chicken was delicious, having a rich and creamy sauce and plenty of tender chicken. The sauce was so delicious, I found myself sopping up the sauce with the naan bread throughout the meal. For me what set Mint apart was the service - fast, friendly, and efficient. The staff's attentiveness and professionalism added greatly to the overall enjoyment of the meal. In summary, Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge offers a delightful experience with its combination of delicious food, inviting ambiance, and excellent service. It's a place I would gladly revisit and recommend to others looking for some tasty Indian cuisine."

"Great little pub with tvs on the bottom floor, arcade games on the second, and a nice rooftop patio! The drinks and specials are plentiful and the bartender was happy to change the tv to the game we were looking for. For bar food I was pleasantly surprised. The fried pickles came out super quick and they were piping hot. The Rueben (pictured) was delicious! Definitely our fave and will be ordering again next time. I also enjoyed that the Caesar wrap was toasted. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings, but not a problem since I enjoyed the fries and know to get those next time."

"My fiancé absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere of the place. Very chill and happy vibes all around. Pretty tasty food for a pretty good price! The Mac and cheese was like eating a fancier pasta dish. I was surprised! My burger looked like those ultra cheesy gooey burgers you'd see in ASMR videos that makes you want to drop everything to grab one. I'd have to say it was a bit more dry than I would have liked tho. Not bad still. The green beans were fun! Never had them fried before but it was a good appetizer. Definitely want to try out their brunch food."

Cherry Cricket

"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!"

"I just had the most incredible lunch. I had a lunch date that stood me up so I had lunch myself anyway. From the time I walked in until the time I left, Sofia, my server/bartender treated me like absolute gold. It's been awhile since I received such incredible, personalized service. Service here is always good but this was next level service. Wow. I ordered a classic Caesar salad with shrimp and it was too shelf. Absolutely amazing. I ordered a cup of broccoli cheese soup and was amazing as well. Hot, creamy and tasty. I was even given a free beer for joining their text message program which is "text drinks to 720-843-3244". As alway, the place itself was meticulously clean. One of the things I like most about this restaurant. Keep in mind, you are barred from the shooting range and/or buying a firearm for the day, once you order an alcoholic drink. I like the large screen televisions playing sports and the news. I love this place. Thank you Sofia"

"Wow, I almost forgot this place existed. I had not been here for close to two decades. Back in the day, it was one of my places to go get a beer and some wings. And, despite the gentrification, some would say improvement, of the general neighborhood around here, it still is. Not much has changed. Pretty much still the same interior, and the menu has not varied much over the years, at least in my fuzzy memory. I popped in here after a movie at the nearby AMC theater a couple months back. Again, the beer was still cold, the service was still great, and the wings were still pretty darn good."

Swanky's Vittles And Libations

★★★★☆ 3.6 (156) • $

"As a Packer fan in Denver, Swanky's is one of those bars on rotation to watch games. It's hard to even say how I rate Swanky's because of so many pros/cons back-and-forth. It's a smaller bar so it fills up fast for many Packer games. Sometimes, though, this 2021 season where they had the best record in the NFL, it actually wasn't fully packed for each of the times I went. I wonder why?Well, as for me, I don't love the food options they have. It's very basic, boring bar food, which I just think they could do a little better on it. I realized they may not have a big kitchen but still, there are always ways to update the menu and make improvements. The DJ sometimes gets too DJ-happy and is playing, well blasting, the music when I want to hear what they are saying on TV with the football game. Like chill dude, we are here for the game not for the DJ. I really haven't touched all those slushies, because I just think they're probably going to be ridiculously loaded with gobs of sugar and I don't need that in my life or in my head the next day. I'll admit at least that I haven't tried to really say how they taste. Maybe one day I'll ask if I can sample one that doesn't seem too gross (to me personally). But, for those that like these types of drinks, this is the perfect bar for you as they have so, so many slushie options! The staff is usually pretty cool, at least the times I've gone they've been hardworking and attentive. With that said, a pet peeve and something I see in Denver A LOT is a wrong bill. I don't know what it is about this city, but you all need to check and keep and check your bills again, don't leave the receipt on the tables! I've caught so much. And let's get this straight, it should not be wrong in the first place by the establishment or staff - they are responsible for providing correct bills. The customer is not responsible. The last time I went the game-day specials were charged incorrectly and I paid an extra 10 dollars. I only counted the number of drinks and didn't realize until the next day looking at the receipt, the # of drinks was correct but price per drink wasn't. I had to go back to that area so brought it with me to stop back in and ask about it and hope to get it fixed. My same server was there but she wasn't sure what to do, another server chimed in and told me to talk to someone behind the bar. The first thing this guy had the nerve to tell me was to blame ME and say why didn't I see this the day of (mind you this was only a couple of days after). I barely got to start answering him and another guy came over to help, he turned around and was doing something and turned back around to hand me the $10 cash, which is a MUCH better way of handling the situation than foolish guy #1. I don't know Swanky's is just ok."

"My friends and I came here to watch the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game. The TV setup was perfect for sports fans, with multiple screens showing a variety of games, which really elevated the experience.The food was average--not bad, but nothing special. Given how busy the place was, the service was decent, though understandably a bit slow.We ordered micheladas, but they didn't quite hit the mark. After talking to our waitress, she had the bartender make us another round, but they still weren't great. They definitely needed more Michelada mix to balance the flavor."
