The 29 best foods to try in Golden

They offer a delicious lunch buffet, highly recommended. We also opted for the combination dumplings that did not disappoint. We would come back just for those. The dip is delicious and spicy but add a little yogurt sauce if you like a more mild spicy without skimping on the flavor. The buffet options were not overwhelming and everything was tasty. The patio is dog friendly and they staff are super attentive and accommodating. If you visit Golden this should be on the top of your list. The patio is its own little oasis.

The decor of this place is amazing—it really gives you the feeling of being in a mountain lodge in Nepal. The restaurant has several different dining rooms, each with its own vibe. There's also a bar and a terrace. Now for the downside: the service is not great. Maybe it’s a cultural difference, but the staff wasn’t very attentive and came across as a bit rude. They kind of pushed us to go for the $20 buffet, which wasn’t bad, but didn’t offer many options. Most of the food was basic—mainly vegetables and rice. Again, it’s not terrible, but for that price, it should offer more variety or cost less. Still, it was a nice discovery overall.

Went here August 28 at 12:30 p.m. Great atmosphere. Only the garden was open for lunch. Lunch was a typical Indian food buffet. The Dal was more runny than I like, but the nan was ok. Average Indian food but a fun environment and a low price. The waiter was nice. A bottle of Menage a Trois Chardonnay at Target costs $8 and here they charge $9 for a glass, but it was quite full.

Great place for a little change from your regular routine. Food is very tasty but not spiced hot. Buffet is a favorite, but one can order from a menu. Service was spotty with misunderstanding of item requests and lack of follow up. Seating outside is outstanding.

I was there for brunch last Saturday . I loved how all the employees were warm and welcoming . It was crowded since it was weekend cuz we wanted to stay outdoor however it was all occupied so we had to stay indoor . We order House Sampler (non veg ) which was average comfort Nepali food . The fried dumplings chicken momo were so juicy and delicious . It comes in 6 or 12 PCs . And we ordered 12 . Had a great homely experience here 🥰

Excellent food, served quickly and hot! Our Waiter did an awesome job with our group. Our party of 5 all enjoyed everything we tasted. I had the meat sampler and the portion was very generous, I could finish it all but I was stuffed! The chai tea latte was the only item I did not like, it lacked the flavor of the traditional chai spices. The ambiance was great and the restaurant designed I feel like captured the essence of Nepal. You also have the opportunity to round up to help support their community initiatives in Nepal.

Went in thinking “medium” spice would be a friendly handshake. Turns out, it was more like a playful slap to the face—with chili. 🌶️😂 The service? Amazing. They treated me like royalty. The food? Incredible—flavors so good I almost forgave my taste buds for filing a complaint. The medium spice? Let’s just say it’s clearly calibrated for people who wrestle fire for breakfast. Meanwhile, I was sitting there negotiating with my water glass like it was my lawyer. Still, every bite was worth it. 10/10 would recommend—just maybe start with “mild” unless your tongue has a gym membership. 💪🔥 ✨We tried (and pictured): chicken momo dumplings, chicken vindaloo, vegetable chow mein, and the garlic & cheese naan.

Very good atmosphere and nicely decorated saloon. Our waitress was friendly, although I noticed that not all staff members were as welcoming. The place has a lovely terrace and an interesting history. On the downside, the food wasn’t great—the hamburger was a bit small and slightly undercooked.

Buffalo Rose is absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing with so many great choices—it’s the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu. The bacon-wrapped dates were out of this world and an absolute must-try. Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was just as impressive—warm, lively, and full of character, making it a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re going for a casual night out or a special gathering, Buffalo Rose delivers an experience that’s both memorable and delicious. Highly recommend!

We were visiting Colorado from Phoenix, AZ. We took a drive through Golden and saw the Buffalo outside Buffalo Rose. We pulled over and checked the menu online. They had a very diversified menu that included elk and bison. We tried the bison meatloaf and carne asada both. Both dishes were great, and the bison was amazing. The green chile served with the carne asada was amazing as well. We wanted to try a dessert, but had to pass after not being able to finish our food. The serving sizes were large, and we noticed several beers on tap. Scott served us and was very friendly and reassured the bison meatloaf was a good choice. Food and service were all amazing! We will be back again, and spread the word about your location!

A great piece of history and a great restaurant. Very unique to sit in. We sat in a dog friendly patio and had our lunch. The atmosphere of the place is cool. The food was good too and the service.

Great little find in Golden!! We stayed in the area and stumbled into this spot among the plethora of options downtown and we were pleasantly surprised! Great atmosphere with the open air roof & wall dining area, great drinks, sports on multiple TV'S and great food to boot! We ended up there twice. 😎 Highly suggest stopping and trying this out if you're in the area!

Many-A-Show has been seen here. I love the reserved seating upgrade options, but G.A. is great too. Fair priced drinks for a venue, which I appreciate too. Some food options, but limited (for a show). I'll be back!

Talk about AMAZING when it comes to Mama Deb and the crew. We enjoyed trying multiple beers and are thrilled to come back again. First timers and we’re sold on this historic building and the history it has to offer. Definite try the Sandlot, and Living The Dream beers. The 3 Amigos chip platter is excellent.

I love Woody's!! Every time I am in Golden, I make sure that this is an item on the itinerary. The all-you-can-eat pizza and salad buffet is a classic choice, but there are also lots of other menu options to explore. The wood-fired pizza is made with Colorado-style tucked-under crust, and each table comes equipped with some local clover honey to top it off. The staff is always super friendly, and it seems like the place runs very efficiently. The atmosphere is busy but cozy, with booth and table seating, eccentric Colorado-themed decorations, indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and even trivia nights! Woody's is super popular, so there is almost always a wait for a table around dinnertime. Definitely show up early and get on the wait list. I like to walk around town and get ice cream before dinner! All members of your group must be present before you will be seated. The prices are slightly steep, but it appears they do pay their workers fairly, as there is a line item on the receipt for a "fair wages fee" or something along those lines. Additionally, the food is so yummy and nostalgic that it is worth the price.

We really enjoyed our visit to Woody’s! The salad bar was fresh and well-stocked, and there was always a great variety of hot, fresh pizzas coming out. We appreciated that new kinds were rotated in regularly—not just the same ones over and over. Our favorite was the Buffalo chicken pizza—we’d come back just for a whole pie of that! The beer cheese soup was also a standout. We dipped our pizza in it and loved every bite. Great spot all around!

Went here Thursday, August 28, and at 6:43 p.m., ordered for take-out at Window D their "Backpack" pizza, regular crust. I twice said small but the order taker asked for the price of a large. Either she put it in wrong, or was trying to pocket $10. The pizza was ok, but nothing special. We ate it on the back porch which was sort of nice, after a rainstorm, but no view. I went inside for a moment and was amazed people wanted to be crammed in like that. Leaving town we drove past the Golden Mill, which I did not know about before, and I now wish we had gone there instead.

Great food made with the beat ingredients. Hords of folks show up for the pizza, but I like the "Hobo", or Philly Chease steak. We come here for the awesome dog friendly outside seating. This place is allways busy but they manage the people and all the pups very well. They love dogs and Anna took great care of us.

Kaleh was our server yesterday. We sat outside, it was such a beautiful day. The pizza buffet was Amazing! Not a fan of the Bloody Mary Mix, the toppings were great! KALEH was so good with our little girl. That is always a plus with dining out with Children!

So good! Woody’s was awesome! The salad bar, beer cheese soup, and pizza buffet were all really good. Local, laid-back vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

SO delicious!! The food, cocktails, salad bar. Everything was amazing. Our servers both times have been awesome. I can't wait to go back!

Tonight, the wife and I had dinner at The Capitol Grill in Golden. It’s been years since I last ate here, and I remembered it being a solid spot—but this time around, it felt a little underwhelming. We started with the fried cheese balls and Brussels sprouts. Both were fine, but nothing special—just pretty basic. For my main, I ordered the half rack of ribs, and my wife went with the chicken-fried chicken. Honestly, the highlight of my plate was the cornbread, which pretty much says it all. The food wasn’t terrible, just not what I was hoping for. I was craving something a little more elevated. Unless they bring steak back to the menu, I don’t think we’ll be rushing back anytime soon. That said, the service was great, and the ambiance was chill, so props there. As always, I encourage you to check it out for yourself—maybe your experience will hit differently.

October 20th @4ish? Came in midday as a party of three after doing some hiking at Red Rocks. Got sat immediately. Food looked good online and was definitely up to standard. Our waitress was very nice and super helpful. Cheese curds appetizer was awesome and all three of us were raving about our dishes. Next time I fly out again to Colorado to visit my friend we will be going back for seconds!

Nice place …stopped in for Buffalo Bill days Service was nice my waitress was on point she was blonde and worked the bar too. My husband wanted a bison burger and it was very delicious.I had a basic burger and it was very tasty pickles added would have been nice but overall it was good. I will return next time I’m in golden oh and the tubing creek right by there was a plus!

I park my car, got out, and instantly was like "whatever I'm smelling that needs to be my lunch." We thought we followed our noses correctly, but I'm not so sure. We were able to get seated right away, with patio seating available. First impression of our server was not great. She seemed impatient. I will add by meals end she redeemed herself. She was pretty chill. I didn't get her name to toss a shout out, but she was also tending the bar. Anyway, to the food.... the reason you're reading this. It was... mediocre. Both of us got the Hatch Burger and I also got a small side of green chili. I will say, Red Robin has a better burger. The French-fried onions had zero flavor. Beyond that it was kind of eh. The French fries were really yummy, so there's that. The highlight for myself was the green chili. A nice kick with some good bold flavors. Now, bang for the buck, not at all. Two beers, two hatch burgers, a small side of green chili.... $64.00!!!! The green chili side was $8.00!! I honestly could have gone to a chain restaurant got the same quantity of food and drink maybe better quality for a bit less and bottomless fries. Just saying. All in all, I might need to try to find what I was smelling when I got of my car. That's just me. Go, give em' a shot. See what you think. Go eat, drink and be kind.

I was a little skeptical after reading a few reviews but everything our party of 7 ordered was delicious! First we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts. They were cooked perfectly with slices of apple and a delicious vinaigrette. My in-laws ordered the fried pickles and said they were very good. Two of us ordered the smoked pulled pork and brisket. That was soooo good as was their house made bbq sauce. My husband had tacos and enjoyed them. The kids burger was quite large and my 8 year old had half to take home. My teenagers split the nachos and had pulled pork and brisket on it. The nachos were really good and went fast. They did order everything on the side except the cheese and meat. The nachos come with a lot more than was is pictured. They also have great mocktails. I ordered the mojito and loved it. We couldn’t go wrong with anything we ordered!

Really neat historic place & the food was so good! Our server Emily was so sweet & attentive. She was also very knowledgable about the menu. Service was quick too.

Shared a wonderful meal with my sister and nephew at Old Capitol Grill and Smokehouse. We had chicken and waffle and it was delicious.

Great spot in Golden! Had the chili cheese fries and spinach strawberry salad—both were delicious. Quick, friendly service and a welcoming indoor atmosphere since the patio was full. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town!

Really enjoyed the place overall. We sat on the patio on a beautiful day, but the weather turned fast and it started pouring — got completely soaked! The location is amazing and service was good. The wait, though, was a bit frustrating: around 35 minutes even with lots of empty tables. The burger and salad were solid, but I didn’t like the fries — they had a weird taste, like maybe they weren’t fresh, possibly frozen? Not sure. Prices were very reasonable, and they offer 2-hour parking at the hotel, though I parked outside. Still, I’d say it’s worth the experience.

Excellent drinks and food! Service was amazing as well. Breezy was our server and she was exceptional. Burger was great, chicken sandwich amaIng,and the flatbread appetizer was one of the best I've had. Highly recommend the desserts too!!

Nice breakfast spot right by the creek with a beautiful view of the mountains, especially if you can sit outside. I ordered the eggs benedict and a latte. The latte was smooth and well made, but the eggs benedict were a bit overcooked, so the yolks weren’t runny as they should be. Still, the flavors were good and the setting made up for it. Service was friendly and relaxed, and it’s an overall pleasant place to start the morning in Golden.

Had a great time eating dinner at the bar last week with Luke B! The food was amazing, he was so attentive and fun. Luke made sure I had everything I needed, checked in on me regularly and made great conversation. It was such a nice evening! Will be returning

I enjoyed a magnificent raspberry sorbet with whipped cream & a dry cider on a Sunday evening, listening to the water, the birds, & the summer folk! Wonderful service from my server, Cait. Beautiful & relaxing atmosphere.

Great food, wonderful brussel sprouts. Be sure to try them. Bloody mary was delish. Blackberry margarita was excellent. Rosa's green chili was perfect. Wait staff was very nice and attentive. Thanks everyone for the grest experience.

I love the self-serve sauce station. The staff clearly know what they are doing and get the food out fast. The line was consistently out the door. The burgers were great, but not the best I’ve had. The double burger comes with two nicely sized patties—not small but not massive. If you’re not a big eater, I’d stick with the single patty burger. They cook all burgers medium well which is disappointing since I prefer the medium rare side. They definitely don’t skimp on the toppings; we appreciated the amount of banana peppers and pickles they gave. The gluten free bun was different from most I’ve had in a great way. Very soft and tasty. I have a gluten sensitivity, and they asked if it was a preference or an allergy, then explained they use a separate space and handling techniques for those with celiac. The fries weren’t bad, but they didn’t leave me craving more. They have a good amount of patio seating which is nice; the inside is small, simple, and a bit dark. Total cost was $56 for 2 people which isn’t cheap for a burger joint. Given the price and not being blown away, I’d check out other burger spots before making my way back.

So I'm usually working by myself doing gig work but this time my wife decided to go with me on some deliveries. We ended up in Golden for our last stop and couldn't really figure what to eat considering most of the places where far from my last delivery. So after debating for 20 minutes and a couple of U-Turns later cause we kept changing our mind. We decided to hit the nearest place to eat and that was Bob's Atomic Burgers. Let me tell you if you end up on Golden this is the place to go too. I'll tell you what this was the best homemade burger I've ever had. The burgers are literally made fresh daily and let me tell you the burgers where so dang good I couldn't stop thinking about them, heck I'm still thinking about them now and want another one. The service was excellent, very friendly and the staff very energetic. All I can say is if your ever in Golden near the Coors Brewing Plant you must definitely stop on by you won't regret it. Just FYI this place isn't a fast food joint and takes a bit to cook up your food especially when it's busy as we saw after we got our food. So be patient and trust me it will all be worth it.

Quit different from expectation. Very small shop, 2 manning the food prep, 1 cashier and 1 food service, so it has very limited and slow service. The whole bread is better if don't want to be too full as the wheat bread make it fills a bit full to finish. Daily specials usually an easy choice. The patty is dry seasoned before grill to give it better favor and did makes it tasty Orion rings is crispy but very heavy on the breading which covered the onions favors The ordering process start with filling a pocket for the bread, type of meat, and sides. Line up to the cashier that like to chatting (even when there is a long line), manually enter all that marked on the sleeve (which took a bit time) and then repeat back one by one for confirmation. It takes time on top of the chatting, good to check for error, but should have more efficient way. Specially the sleeve was part of the packing of the hamburger!!! In short, the loneliness in part created by the process which makes the wait longer and more frequent. Burger was not bad, however might not worth the long wait, specially for that artificial long

This retro style diner was worth the wait in line. The burgers are fresh grilled, greasy and delicious. The fried chicken sandwich was surprisingly our favorite though — light breading with excellent seasoning and juicy white meat chicken. As of June 2025, $10 sandwich + extra couple bucks for add on toppings — good value!

The place is a local favorite, so it's got that going for it. One cashier, one server who try their best. Decent burger, but you've had better and worse. The fries - depends on personal preferences. More flies inside than out, probably due to the spilt soda on the floor. Really good (malted) milkshake. Bathrooms looked pretty clean.

It’s been on my list to visit and I’m glad I finally made it! Greeted with friendly service! The burger and fries were awesome!

For such a small place why do they have a line you’re gonna wait if you go there on a Saturday after the Fourth of July ha ha great area for proceeding outside but definitely slow going to get your food. I would actually give it more of a 4 1/2 stars however it doesn’t give me that option so I went for the five everything even outside seemed like it was pretty clean given that area and size of the place.

10/10 best restaurant for girls night or a date night. Brock is the best server and love seeing him every time my bestie and i stop in here. Even if we’re not in his section, he still makes a point to stop by and check in with us. Service is impeccable, food is top notch and i neverrrrrrr get sick of their espresso martinis and fried pickles. The indulge chicken salad is always my go to and so is the lemon berry cake. My bestie and i will yap here for hours and never feel pressured or like we’re a bother. We make a reservation every time but definitely suggest a reservation on the weekends. 🍸🩷

Indulge offers a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that blends modern elegance with a cozy, inviting charm. The interior features warm lighting, plush seating, and contemporary decor, creating a relaxed environment ideal for both intimate dinners and social gatherings. Their menu offers a great extensive wine list, complemented by a selection of craft cocktails and beers. The service here is always attentive and remarkable, and the cuisine is of high quality, which includes a variety of dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.

After visiting this place for a second time (only because we had a gift card) I can confirm this is the worst restaurant in downtown Golden. This was our $18 club sandwich that I could have made at home in two minutes. I've never seen such a sad club sandwich come out of a restaurant kitchen. I would have been more forgiving if it at least tasted good but it was on the same level as a 7-Eleven grab and go. Go to literally any of the other great restaurants downtown.

We had dinner here in a Saturday night. I had made a reservation earlier in the day and there was no wait time for us to be seated. The atmosphere was lovely and their wine list is quite impressive. I ordered the roasted chicken dish and my husband had the shrimp linguine, both of which were to die for! If you smothered a sandal with the gravy that comes with the chicken I'd probably eat it, it's that good. We also had their Brussels sprouts which were so yummy and their lava cake for dessert. Overall a delicious meal and will definitely be coming back for date night!

Rehearsal dinner cancelled on last minute by a restaurant around the corner from Indulge. Mother of the Groom calls Indulge 2 hours before we are supposed to have 30+ people arrive for dinner… the GM, Adrian was heaven-sent and worked the most insane magic we’ve ever seen… we arrived to a romantic setting with charcuterie and appetizers ready to go, a beautiful menu of prepared courses and the most dreamy dessert options. The service was impeccable and more than we could have asked for. Sometimes being cancelled on leads to the best experience and Indulge definitely came through!!! ✨🫶✨

Good service. The food at Indulge is pretty basic, which isn't really a problem, a lot of steakhouses do basic food very well. The problem is that the preparation is frequently mediocre at best. There are better restaurants in Golden at this price point.

The outdoor patio has great views and it’s easy to get a table here when the surrounding restaurants are on a long wait list. The Greek salad was delicious and the wine menu is extensive, but our main entrees were disappointing. The spaghetti and meatballs did not taste homemade and the steak was over cooked (we ordered medium rare). The service was great but the food was subpar.

D'Deli is a staple in Golden. I remember going there many times during college and had to visit recently to relive my college days and have a delicious sandwich. We got a TMI, Dalton, and a Camper. The TMI and Dalton were exactly as I remember: delicious and fresh-tasting. The Camper was honestly a little disappointing. It felt like I was eating mostly bread with a bit of Nutella and the other ingredients. Service is great with good conversation with the employees. I will say that I think the sandwiches are a bit expensive for what you get especially if you only get a half sandwich. The sandwiches are delicious either way though. I highly recommend getting a sandwich from here and then walking over to beautiful Clear Creek and enjoying your sandwich while watching/listening to the creek. Life is great sometimes!

Easily the best sandwich I've ever had! Customer service was great too, they recommended Sriracha and fried onions on the bahn mi and it was amazing! Totally packed with flavors, would 100% recommend

This is my favorite sandwich place in Colorado, maybe anywhere! They food is extremely high quality. Lots of attention to taste and flavors. Very unique sandwiches with some flavorful, spicy options. I love how they incorporate local meats and game into their sandwiches. The Bison Reuben and Elk sandwiches are a great choice to try!

We enjoy this deli, best one close to us in Arvada. Unfortunately, today, we got all the way home (10 mins away) and realized they forgot one of the sandwiches in the oven that 2 people were going to split and they were closed so we couldn’t even go back for it. I actually think this is the second time this has happened to us. Aspen Buddha could use a little more aioli and I would probably prefer lettuce over sprouts. FIL always gets the pastrami and loves it. The farmer is the one he got this time. Dalton is a go to for me and my MIL.

Have been a few times now and have never been particularly satisfied. The first time we got very good service, but the succeeding times it has felt as if I was imposing on them; like some kind of parody of NJ Italians with bad attitudes running a deli. The food is okay, nothing special, but the pricing is out of hand. It's a weirdly common "look at our wacky menu, even though we can't get the basics down right" kind of place. The bang for the buck just isn't there, and I would not suggest it; especially for anyone looking for an authentic East Coast deli experience.

Wow, this place is great! We popped in for lunch and hope to squeeze in another visit before we leave town. The staff were very friendly and I believe my boyfriend said, "this may be the best sandwich that I have ever had." Highly recommend!

Always a must when we visit. I have never had a problem the sandwiches are tasty. Last time though wife thought the turkey sandwich was too dry. Love to sit outside and eat. I highly recommend. Great friendly staff.

Went for brunch and it was delicious 😋. Got duck confit egg Benedict and they are to die for. Only thing was I thought the eggs them selves need a liiiitle bit of salt. But they weren't bland or anything, but the salad and the potatoes were also delicious 🤤🤤 can't wait to come back

This lovely little restaurant is truly tucked away in its own little hole in the wall, there’s outstanding cozy patio seating, and a stunning interior that feels antique but not antiquated. The service was friendly, quick & informative. Our waiter made great recommendations. The food is amazing, with a great selection of seasonal items. Our table had the Scallop appetizers and Little Gem Salads and I ordered the Salmon. It was cooked perfectly with a great crust and a delicious yogurt sauce. Everything tastes fresh with great depth of flavors. Best of all nothing was overly heavy or dense. Their wine & dessert selection are great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent brunch outside. Food and service was top notch. Only that could be better are the chairs. The cold metal chairs were uncomfortable.

This upscale new American restaurant in Golden is an amazing option, even though it’s not the cheapest. The food and services are great.

Started off great when I found my favorite wine that I have never seen on a US menu. The food was generally very good though small portions for the price (with the exception of the bread service which was delicious and added to our lunch the next day. The carrot and frisee salad was good but way over salted as noted to the server. The squash dish was excellent.

The service was great, friendly and attentive staff all around. The food was OK, but the coffee was a joke (at least it was cheap). One downside was the loud, out-of-place music playing outside, which didn’t match the restaurant vibe. I’d suggest spending a few minutes curating a good playlist on Spotify; it really impacts the overall dining experience.

My mom and I went to Golden for the first time for our annual mother/daughter trip. I booked us a reservation at Abejas for dinner one night and it exceeded both of our expectations! We were greeted by the manager/Sommelier. I think we had booked it for an outside table, but he said they were expecting rain and we decided to dine inside (good call b/c it did end up raining). The menu had seasonal/farm-to-table options. Our server, Lauren, was amazing! She was easy to talk to, great personality, explained items on the menu, and made recommendations. I got the mussels and these were for sure in my top 5 mussel experiences every. They were so big, the broth was amazing, and the bread it was served with was a rosemary sourdough. The Sauvy B wine was a perfect pairing. My mom got the strawberry salad and enjoyed. After dinner we relocated to the bar for a few cocktails and their mixologist did a fantastic job on all the cocktails. I would 10/10 recommend visiting Abejas next time you're in Golden.

Tucked away down a quiet, hidden alley, this charming bar feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. Offers a cozy, lived-in feel—perfect for those who want to escape the usual hustle and bustle of the main strip. This hidden gem offers a laid-back yet inviting vibe with the right balance of decent food, good drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I think it perfectly off the beaten path, every resturant on the main road was packed and we found this place using ChatGPT. It was so good and the service was amazing! Suggested great options and they tasted so good! Recommend the chili dog with game meat. It was delicious

This place was pretty good, except the Slaw, the slaw was a bit flavorless. The Pickle Shot was amazing! The Candied Bacon, wasn't bad, but I've had better. The wrap, I got the Bahn Mi, the sausage was delicious and the wrap was very flavorful.

Just a nice easy place to sit off the Main Street. We had some nice appetizers and beer. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Found this little place on a whim once when walking downtown and searching for food in the evening. Since then, it has been one of my favorite restaurants in Golden. The decorations and atmosphere are so fun, and everyone I bring says they love the food. I always get the kids hot dog, which is decently sized and comes on a crispy bread bun. So yummy!

Delicious food and late night drinks. Highly recommend, great atmosphere theme. Will visit again

Golden has a must, and this is the spot! If you’re a fan of great bites. Love the speakeasy vibe and drinks, this is the place. Great service, very attentive and professional. Been here a few times and thought it’s time to leave them a stellar review. I will be back.

What I really appreciate about Bonfire Burritos is their values—especially giving leftover food to those in need instead of wasting it. Big respect for that. It was my second visit, and while the food is solid (the Chupacabras burrito is tasty and super filling), the dining area could use a bit more attention—dirty tables and paper on the floor made it feel a bit neglected. Service is quick, and the staff is young and friendly. I like the small menu—it gives the impression that everything’s fresh. However, they serve everything in disposable containers, even if you're eating in, which creates a lot of unnecessary waste. I think asking customers if it's dine-in or takeout could help reduce that. Overall, it’s a quiet, casual spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Expect to spend around $20 per person with a drink. I’ll definitely be back.

The hype is real! We did some research while in Golden and wanted to get some bomb burritos at a local joint and this was the spot we chose. The line for food was long but they are super efficient so it didn’t take long to order. From there you can chill, vibe out and listen to the music while you wait for your food. We got a burrito and a bowl a both were 10/10! If you get the chance to stop in, totally recommend.

This was our first meal after landing at airport. We were on our way to the mountains, and it was the perfect pitstop for breakfast burritos! There was a line but it went fast. They have their operation down to a tee. We got two burritos and they were bomb!!! So good. Can’t wait to go back.

Burritos were absolutely amazing! Out of this world good. Menu was a little tough to read because the screen moved and we didnt know they had beers or that it was happy hour when we got there so that would have been nice to know. Even though its outside wish the flys and bees were a bit more under control. Didn't see anything that would help with them. But other than those minor things would absolutely go back and recommend!

Best burrito I’ve ever had. Music was a bit much for 10:30 am Girl that gave me my bag was SUPER jaded, and got it wrong anyway. Long lines are always indicative of great food and Bonfire delivers. Staff could be less aggressive and transactional. 🫤 Worth the wait, but don’t engage the staff.

Someone in Breckinridge recommended this place after hearing my search for a breakfast burrito that wasn’t mush. I got the deluxe!!! Carne asada is grilled on site and the butter salsa is yummm!!! Don’t expect to get your burrito to go if it’s your first time! I highly recommend enjoying the vibe. Someone made a post about the floor being dirty and I almost didn’t go! First off this place had covered outdoor seating, secondly I guess dirty is perspective! I thought it was clean, compared to other places I’ve been I appreciated not having a million flies and mosquitoes around me while eating!

Please welcome! Legendary place! Andy “Almost Vegan” burrito - Jackalope with chorizo! The quality it’s a law in this place! Outstanding delicious! 💫💫💫

This is a popular tourist frequented spot, in the heart of Golden. It is super busy on the weekends and perhaps that is why the meal and experience was not what it could be. The service was rushed, quick, and to the point. It felt like we were at a drive up window with a line of impatient cars behind us--sorry no time for pleasantries, gotta go, go go. Even when he came back once to check on us, he was already leaving before we could nod that everything was fine. It wasn't. Aside from that the food was okay, at least the fajitas were served hot. Everything else was room temperature at best. To be fair, yes it was a Saturday afternoon. At 2:30 or so. Not exactly the lunch hour rush. So if you're in the mood for a fast food experience at a sit down restaurant, this may be for you. But if you want to enjoy a calm, relaxing lunch after a long beautiful mountain hike, this may not be it.

Came here and decided to give it a chance. Service was fast and she always came and checked in on us. Which to me is very important. My drink stayed full the whole time. We started with chips and salsa and Queso. The salsa and chips are okay, the Queso is ok too. Definitely could be better. They should change it to fun-dido. (If you don't know difference then queso is good). The wife got the chili relleno and she really liked it and was not able to eat it all. (Maybe because of the chips). I went ahead and got a burrito chimichanga style with fried jalapenos. And of course the wife finished it off with a desert which tasted very good. probably my favorite part. Overall I would come here again but I would not go out of my way to eat here.

Torrey was incredibly kind, and the Eggs Benedict were absolutely perfect. Everything was homemade, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I love this place!

We go here almost every time we are in Golden. They have the very special Barmen Pilsner from Coors there. Amazing dip trio and fajitas. Great outdoor patio overlooking Main Street. You can bring your dogs if you sit on the patio. Inside is nice too with a very southwestern look. Love the hotel it’s located in as well. Must stop by:))

I ordered the nachos with chicken, cheese quesadillas & chocolate brownie dessert w/ i e cream 1) I received nachos with no meat, 2) Flavorless quesadillas 3) cold, hard brownies with old/sour strawberries on top & no ice cream. Really gross & I actually paid $80 for this. This is definitely nowhere near tex-mex. Huge waste of money & definitely regret the $15 tip I left. Do not eat here. The best thing were the fries. That is it, that is all & that is an honest review.

I have never gone out of my way to leave a bad review, but this felt very necessary. My friends and I had a very unfortunate experience Wednesday evening that ensured I will never return to this place. I have some friends visiting from out of town, and after their 16 hour drive in, we decided to meet at this Table Mountain Grill and Cantina. We chose this place because it was getting later, 9 pm, and they were open until 11. We sat for a bit and were told that the kitchen was closing soon so we were quick about ordering. The food was nothing to write home about, but it wasn’t bad overall. After we ate we sat with some drinks to catch up. Our bartender was great and made sure to keep our drinks flowing. He then came around for last call and we had just one more drink. That’s about the time the second dude started lurking around. This man with his Gray hair and beard kept pop into the bar area giving our table the side eye. He had the vibe of a manager, but we would have never known because he never checked to see how our experience had been. Just part of the way through our final drinks, and about 30 min before they closed, he turned on the lights as bright as possible. My friend and I are both industry workers, so we know the tactics that people use to make people know it’s time to get going. HOWEVER, this is usually AFTER a restaurant closes, not 30 minutes before. As we finished up our drinks and conversation, this same man made it VERY clear he wanted us out of this business where we just spent about $50 a person at. He clapped his hands and exclaimed “Let’s go!” in frustration. We felt very rushed as they started stacking chairs and closing up shop. Like I said, my friend and I are longtime restaurant industry workers and know how it is. Restaurant etiquette goes both ways. We won’t stay a minute past closing time, but all we did was spend our money at this place and got treated like a nuisance. Unfortunately, a restaurant’s atmosphere can be dictated by one individual running the place.

Awesome experience! After hiking at Golden Gate Canyon we decided to ditch the wait at Woody's (always take out of state visitors there) and so glad we did! Brian, our server, was hands down the best server I have ever met. Super personalble and attentive (Saturday night). Gave great recommendations for margs & food (get the spicy senorita & nachos with beef). Also Gluten Free!!! No reaction at all! My new fave in Golden. Great food. Epic service.

Great service, and a nice atmosphere. You can tell the place is adored locally. The food was... okay. My son is a chicken quesadilla aficionado, and didn't finish his. I didn't know you could overdo it on cheese, but they did, and it was soggy, and not great. I had a bite, and it really was not good. The burrito was tiny. The chili had a little spice, but not much, but overall, the flavor just wasn't there. The tostada was good, and so were the chips and salsa. Not inedible, but not my favorite Mexican food.

Loved this place, from the awesome service to the food. We are visiting from Texas but if we lived around here we’d come again. We recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for good Mexican food.

Great family restaurant off the beaten path in Golden. Small atmosphere; large patio in good weather. Excellent food; being vegetarian we love the veggie enchilada plate or chile rellenos.

Sadly, El Dorado has changed dramatically. Their prices are stunning and insulting: $25 for a fajita burrito, $11.35 for runny queso and $16.25 for a small shot of Casamigos. We typically have lunch here after a lovely hike in Golden. We will not be returning.

I dug in before getting a picture of the food! This is a quaint and beautiful restaurant. It is very family friendly, and the staff are absolutely a charm! The food has great flavoring with large portions! Highly recommend.

Yum! Worth the wait! Small little restaurant in a cute little town. Their perfect margaritas are super strong and delicious. One large one will do the trick! The table salsa was spicy but good. Chips where the thicker house made kind. The burrito sampler was delicious and smothered in a great sauce. Queso was pretty good. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in town.

Prices have gone up but quality and customer service have gone down. Both items we ordered were wrong. Really need to work on kitchen communication. Might be rung up right but it wasn't made right. Very disappointing. El Dorado used to be best Mexican food in Golden....not so much anymore

Dining at Bella Colibri is always a wonderful time. The food is incredible and the service is top-notch. So much so that my then-fiance and I decided we'd rent out the whole place have our wedding dinner at BC. Everything was perfect. From the very beginning and throughout the planning process, Chef John made us feel confident and we knew we were in the best of hands. Day of, Events Director, Jen, was attentive to every detail. The food was amazing (we created a custom menu). The drinks were delicious. And the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. I couldn't recommend Bella Colibri highly enough for ANY occasion. Thank you John, Jen, and the entire Bellas team!!! (Florals by TeeLee Florals in Golden! Photos by Brooke Buchan www.brookebuchan.com).

Had a fantastic meal here! The orcchiette was delicious, and the dessert special (peach upside cake with raspberry mascarpone, made with local ingredients) was truly one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. If you see a dessert made by Amira on the menu, do yourself a favor and order it — she’s incredibly talented and makes amazing desserts!

Fantastic service and knowledgeable. Best Italian food we have had in the Denver area . Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious will be back frequently.

Service was excellent and cocktails were fantastic. The food had a great presentation but not much flavor couldn’t even taste the listed ingredient.

Patio setting was nice and the service was fine. Food was so-so, I did not feel that the price was justified by the quality, quantity or presentation. Meh...Lobster was pretty rubbery and the pork belly was more like little potato pieces, soft not crispy and way too many. Asparagus salad was OK. Wine was fairly priced. Probably will not return but not angry about it...so many other options out there with better food and less expensive (we knew the prices going in so we were not surprised/shocked) just underwhelmed.

Amazing place for high-end Italian fare. Service was off the charts and the best starters you can find. The Lasagne Bella was simply amazing. They also had a Chef’s Bar where you can eat your meal while watching the Chefs work. They give you samples of what they are preparing as you watch. So cool. Will absolutely be back!

I have been here probably 15 times, I’d definitely consider myself a foodie who is picky and I think their food is all excellent. I’m shocked it gets 4.4 stars- I suppose people have different expectations but this is hands down my favorite Golden restaurant. Also the atmosphere is the quaintest place, hard to find boutique restaurants like this and they do it so well.

Cute restaurant but the tonkatsu ramen was pretty average. The broth missed the creaminess and instead, was very clear and soy sauce heavy. It tastes more like a Chinese noodle soup than Japanese tonkatsu ramen. The egg was also not jammy as expected. The pork belly was okay.

Between the drinks and small bites to the ramen bowls, everything very enjoyable 🍜 They had daily specials and it sounded like some of the menu items were from the farmers market. Our server was incredibly friendly and accommodating to our group. Would like to come back here again!

I attended their Four Course Sake Dinner event and have to say it was AMAZING. Genuinely had the best ramen of my life (Blue Crab Ramen). The wagyu, hamachi, and lobster bao bun were also delicious. If you have the opportunity to go to an event of theirs, you can't miss it. Other people at the event were also raving about the food and shared how much they love Nosu which goes to show they truly put care into all their food, not just for special events. I'm excited to come back and try their summer menu! The owner Brandon was also super friendly and welcoming with everyone. If you want to support a small, local business that gives great quality and variety of food, I highly recommend giving them a try🙌

I'd say the food is good, the drink is good, and service is good. My only complaint is the price. I can never comprehend $13 for just four dumplings.

Very vibey modern ramen shop! Food was excellent and well balanced, menu includes a lot of inspired traditional dishes as well as some creative homages to the homeland the dishes are based off of. I ordered the pork belly ramen, blistered shishito peppers, duck pork buns, and daily dumpling and all were impressive! Pork belly ramen included a good mix of savory and sweet components without any overbearing saltiness that tends to come with that sort of dish. The noodles were cooked to perfection with the correct degree of chewiness and flavor absorption. The poached egg lent well to the rest of the dish adding sheen and texture. The blistered shishitos were a good mix of subtle spiciness and acidity which made them very approachable. The duck pork buns had an elegant sweetness that made every bite worthwhile, they didn't last long. The daily dumpling was an excellent expression of a pork gyoza that also avoided the typical pitfalls of over saltiness or simplification. Sara the bartender was friendly and helpful with offering suggestions. The sake selection was appropriate and not overbearing. The whiskey selection was very extensive and tempting. Will be eating here again in the future!

We came here before a movie, and were so impressed. I would say best meal I’ve ever had in Golden? We came during happy hour and got delicious discount cocktails and starters. The food was memorable.

Had the Duck Bao and the Pork Belly Ramen. The Duck Bao is great (albeit very sweet), but the Ramen is awful. The chef must have mixed up sugar and salt, because the broth tastes like humming bird food. No actual flavor, only sweetness. The pork belly and egg were cooked great, however. Maybe Nosu will change up their broth, but until then this place is nasty. Even despite the poor taste, for the price, portions are very small.

Sunday morning breakfast. This was a great choice. Cute diner downtown Goden, what's not to love. My biggest complaint would be I like diners to have a quaint, simplicity about them. A feel-good spot, if you know what I mean. I don't feel like The Golden Diner had that vibe. However, what they lack in grandma's kitchen feel they make up for with their food. I had the Dude. It was a HUGE portion. It was delicious. I like my green chili to have a bit more spice than the chili had but there were very solid flavors. I also had a side of smoked brisket sausage.... YES!!! That was 100% the highlight of my meal. the portion was generous, and the smoke flavor was incredible. My partner got the chicken fried steak. The gravy had to have been made in house (we found our diner, grandma comfort). It was exactly what you want from gravy. The chicken fried steak appeared to be hand breaded. If it wasn't they do good at what they do. Let's also not forget the mimosa. Go, go get a mimosa and smoked brisket sausage. Come back and thank me later.

Excellent spot. Not my first time in, but first time posting a review. The atmosphere is great. Definitely a favorite with the locals. A lot of good conversations taking place between tables. A very community feel. The food was great. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were fluffy and the gravy was tasty. The Bacon was thick and cooked just right. The coffee was tasty and hot. The hash browns were super crispy. A little thicker than most places, a nice touch. The only complaint I could possible come up with, and it is a small one, is that they only have Cholula hot sauce. I am more of a Tobasco guy when it comes to the popular hot sauces. I would highly recommend they look into getting some local hot sauce in house and I would specifically recommed Danny Cash (my favorite). Not enough to knock off a star, but not really a Cholula guy. The waitress was incredibly friendly. I cannot say enough for how nice she was and how good the service was. 5-stars all around!

This was my first time here. When I was nearly done, I got a chance to speak to the owner, David. Very passionate owner, the food was delicious. I love a proper gravy, not just flour and milk and grease, this is an actual recipe with delicious taste. The chicken fried steak was hot and crispy, everything, including the service was fantastic

6.5/10. Braised pork and eggs Ben were pretty tasty! Good job on hollandaise sauce, and pork was seasoned well. Fried potato was crunchy and delightful to have with some hot sauce and pork. Service was slightly frantic yet slow, a most peculiar combination. Noise was a typical diner loudness, everyone’s trying to talk a bit louder than the next table. Great food, sub par service, might come back if it’s empty.

Best place for real breakfast in Golden. Don't miss the cinnamon donut holes and fruit bowl. The donuts are perfect with creme anglais and the delicious homemade strawberry jam and the fruit bowel is a perfect assorted berries, pineapple-sweer & delicious! We tried nearly everything on the menu over 3 days and it was all good and good sized portions. The juice is delicious but the coffee whole in a nice mug could use improvement, skip it.

We were visiting for 4 days and had breakfast here twice. Everything was great and a huge variety on the menu from healthy to a lots of carbs.

Great service and awesome food. Pricing is fair. I had the burrito and it was really good. Their brisket sausage is really something special. Also, very cool art work!

We went to Thai Gold in the weekend for lunch. Started with a long wait at gate, though it was no where near to the capacity. The ambience looked old school, homely but need lot of maintenance. The table and chairs were not clean or comfortable, floors were dirty. We waited for the food we ordered, the staffs were trying hard to manage the few guests. We requested for water without ice but got glasses full of ice. Foods were delivered within 10-15 minutes but without silverware. We had to request multiple times, still did not get knives. We order some noodles and beef vegetable starters. The food was too bland and sweet which is quite unbecoming of thai food. The quality was not up to the mark the quantity was also too less considering the price. Not easy to find parking around this place. We will not visit again nor will recommend.

Lovely place with great ambience and pleasant decor. We loved the crispy Duck while it was a tad over done. The Tom Yum did not quite make it and felt made from a bad quality ready made soup pack. However, the Penang curry was good though it didn't quite taste authentic. The Mango Sticky rice was average as the mango wasn't the right one and the flavours didn't stand up. The staffs warmth and the Veggie Kapow made up for the negatives and we would give it another shot.

We really wanted to love this place, but the food just did not hit the spot. The only food I kept reaching to was the pineapple rice and duck cheese wontons, everything else lacked zest and tasted quite plain. We did enjoy the iced tea and beer, but that was it. The staff were really lovely and the restaurant itself is nice to be at ambience - wise. It's unfortunate that the food isn't at the same level.

This is probably the best Thai food I’ve ever had. I went in for my birthday with zero expectations as I was visiting friends from out of state and was blown away. We all ordered different Entrees to share. We all tried a bit of each other’s, and the portions were big! We got the Pad See Ew Beef, Sweet Melody Chicken, Pineapple Curry and Cashew Chicken. Everything was so delicious! We got mango sticky rice for desert, and it was so good! Everyone working was so kind too! This is now a permanent spot for us to return to next time I visit!

Thai gold is a Golden CO institution for a reason. I have been coming here for years and the quality keeps on delivering. My pad see ew dish was just spicy enough and paired perfect Perfectly with the Thai tea. I know I will be back here in the future whenever I’m in Golden again 🫶

Came here for lunch and it wasn’t packed yet. So we got the lunch set with spring rolls, gyoza, and soup as appetizers which were the best of them all, even better than the main dishes. I ordered green curry chicken and my husband had the cashew chicken until we needed to switch the dishes because I couldn’t bear the blandness of the curry. The cashew chicken was fine but the sauce was a bit too sweet. And from both dishes, the warmth of each dish’s element (rice, entrees) was uneven so it gave me an awkward impression somehow by thinking that one element might be reheated or one could stand at room temperature for a while. It was very unfortunate and it didn’t give me the Thai cuisine flavor anymore until the last bite. However, the service was great with agile staff and the place has this Victorian home vibe. But the cleanliness must be noted because there has to be a lot of furniture around the dining tables. Keep up the good work tho!

Just went to Thai Gold for the first time and SO happy that I did. My partner and I tried the Pad See Ew and the Pad Thai- both super delicious. We each got a lunch special that included a small bowl of soup and a little appetizer. The food was insanely good, and the service was great- they were super attentive and kind. Would highly recommend!!

What a cool place to eat in Golden! They strive to be unique and different from other Mexican restaurants. The food was so flavorful, fresh, and carefully crafted. The margarita was also refreshing and delicious! We’ll definitely be marking this as a favorite place to come back to.

I love when restaurants have a certain dish that you can't find anywhere else. Today with the help of a very tentative owner and staff I found just that. Although I've never been a pork belly fan due to the mass amounts of fat (pork belly)that are usually served, this place is my one exception. The pork belly tacos with the perfect ratio from meat to fat. Delicately Cooked and placed on three tacos with an in-house signature habanero sauce. Did I mention to have their own hot sauces for sale! As the owner told me,"check it out!"

We have been to over 100 Mexican restaurants and this is truly one of the best. This has to be the best food in town. So authentic, excellent quality. I highly recommend you stop here. We ate outside and had a beautiful view of the mountains. Every single thing we ordered exceeded expectations from the drinks to the food to the service 💖💖💖

Rather than chips and salsa, they do a chicharron with a little bottle of hot sauce - delicious. Had the pastor tacos and they were some of the best I’ve had in recent memory! Great kind service as well

nice spot in Golden to get your taco fix! margaritas were delicious, and I loved the family-owned business vibe. they staff was super personable and friendly. glad we stopped by this place when visiting golden

Quality food, small portions. Everything a la carte. Fee added if paying with credit card. Had to ask for a "real" menu. We're only give QR codes for the menu and drinks, which were difficult to use. Limited drinks - no wine. Waiter friendly, waitress - no so much

An AUTHENTIC spot 💜✨️ My heart, and stomach, is so full!! I randomly stopped byand enjoyed their Papas con queso taco special, horrchata and loved it all so luch, I ordered a Rajas con crema chipolte burrito to take home for dinner! I'm not local, but I will definitely make the drive to enjoy this spot. The care and attention to detail really comes through in the flavor. I wish them all the success and delciousness!

This was our perfect 1st stop! They added this shrimp & grits to the summer menu and it was spectacular, amazing flavors. We also got the mountain goat burger w/ sweet potato fries, All incredibly delicious. Highly recommend!

Precious took care of our group today ! She was attentive to our table and answered all of our questions. We were fresh off of the mountain and she kept the waters coming for us! We were bummed that they don’t serve the truffle shuffle anymore. We got the gluten free/vegan pizza, burger, catfish, nachos, and fries. We sat outside. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious! We love the wall decor, go pack go!

I’m very conflicted writing this review. The place has a great view and atmosphere. The biggest issue I had here was that the place seemed to be very understaffed. It took a while to get drinks and a menu. By the time we received the menu we were ready to order, but we were denied the option to order. We waited a while longer. Once we placed our order we requested to place a to go order and we could return. We were told “we’re not gonna call you”. We sat and waited for an hour until we got our food. When we got there, there were 7 seated tables without food. When we left 4/7 had food. We got our food and took it to the park for a nice picnic. Food was good not sure it was worth the wait.

After a week in Denver this was the best place we ate. We walked and and got a seat at the bar. A nice casual place with burgers and a deep Cajun menu. We had etouffee plus peel-and-eat shrimp and both were awesome. About 13 beers on tap.

Great food but and worth the wait. But don’t expect fast. Some of the best fries I’ve ever had. Portions are huge. Recommend

We stopped by Trailhead Taphouse for dinner. A casual place with very nice staff. My husband had the Gumbo with chicken and andouille sausage, he hasn't stopped talking about how much he enjoyed it. He wants to go back tomorrow to have it again! Of course a visit to Golden, Colorado isn't complete without a cold Coors Banquet, so he ordered that with his meal. I had the mountain goat burger, it was fantastic. I also had a Colorado Cider Company Cherry Glider which was very good. We liked everything about this place. Can't wait to return.

Server was good. They were busy and it took awhile for food to come out of the kitchen. Otherwise, five stars all around.

Briarwood is definitely a rare find in the Golden/Denver area. From its classic decor (Old World European feel) and the beautiful garden patio, to its friendly staff and delicious food! My husband and I had our wedding there last week.. it went beyond our expectations! I knew from the first time I walked in, that Briarwood was the place for us. Not only is the venue classy and beautiful, Stephanie Blocher (the catering manager) made me feel welcomed and not "just another bride". Although we had a short rain delay that day, EVERYTHING came together and went off without a hitch! We were so pleased with all the decorations, flowers, table arrangements and the food! Some of our guests are on the "pickier" side when it comes to meals, and even they were impressed! We couldn't have planned it better! Stephanie and her staff were absolutely amazing and made sure everyone was having a great time. They treated us like VIPs, made sure the two of us ate and drank, and kept things running smoothly.. we did not worry about a thing.. so THANK YOU! We will definitely be back as it holds a special place in our hearts! Maybe we'll go back during the Christmas time to check out all the festive decorations! :)

I love this place. It's beautiful, classy, and feels secluded. My company has had Christmas parties here, and my Fiance and I were incredibly impressed with their brunch. We decided to have our reception brunch on the scenic patio. The man who handles the wedding arrangements couldn't have been more helpful and cordial. Plus, you can order prime rib for breakfast.

This is what a great dinning experience is supposed to be. The environment is calming. Service is top notch. Start your experience at the best bar in the foothills. Order a Martini from Jimmy. He is a treasurer. He'll remember your name and drink forever. Food at the Briarwood is exceptional. Chef and his staff create some of the finest plates with very creative sides. I've been coming here for 7 years and not once have I had any item ordered be less than wonderful.

Had a very rough night here 2/11/17. Food, drinks, and service were sub-par. We went with our family from out of state thinking it would be a good treat to have a fancy meal. We spent 3 hours waiting for our food. Half of the food was cold, the other half was under cooked. The waiter asked if we wanted drinks two times. First time was 15-20 minutes after we sat down, and the second time was after we had finished eating and already paid our bill. We were ignored the entire night. The staff treated us add if they would have preferred if we weren't there. We spent almost $700 on this meal. As we are leaving, the waiter tosses my dad a $10 gift card and says happy birthday very sarcastically. I will never be coming back after this lovely experience. You can get better food and service at McDonalds down the street.

I took my sister for brunch and was very disappointed. I hoped things had improved from the last time we were there, but it was even worse. For what they charge, the food should taste great. The pastries they served did not even measure up to what I can get at my local grocer. The ambiance is lovely, but that is the only positive thing I can say about the place. I

I want to love this place because of many great memories in the past. Came Saturday night for a special evening out. Maitre'd...great touch of class. Food was prepared well, generally, i won't nitpick. Ambience incredible. Fabulous venue. Room for improvement is service. Staff did not acknowledge me as i waited to be seated (they were not busy), several walked by without a word. Once seated with my party we sat for 15 minutes before we had to ask for a waiter. I won't list the multiple service issues, and there were quite a few, because my point is not to destroy this restaurant but highlight the need for training. the wait staff seemed as though they had never worked in food service before, nor dealt with customers previously. Very disappointing as service there in the past was always high end, commensurate with the prices and upscale experience. we will try again in a month or so, give it another shot. it's such an amazingly unique venue that deserves to be packed nightly. we have enough chain restaurants, would love to see Briarwoods grace and character shine again.

Everything and more then you would expect from a high end restaurant. The food is superb and the wait staff is top notch. We try and go at least once a year. Beautiful setting nestled in the foothills, yet so close to Denver. Our server, Guy, was the very best!!!! The Sunday Brunch is a great value and would be a good choice to take your loved ones!!!

Honestly, I think the positive reviews are a bit of a joke. I’d give it a generous 3 out of 5 at best. The food was very average – the pizza was just okay, but the pasta was honestly a joke. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn’t recommend it, you’re better off going with a well-known chain where at least you know what to expect.

Came in for a quick and cheap lunch special, and my every expectation was blown out of the water. Very good pizza: crispy crust, stretchy cheese, good sauce, and chorizo sausage as my topping choice (two one topping slices and drink for the 7.99 lunch special)

The pizza is a thin crust pizza. Not my favorite style of pizza, but it was still very good. My order was wrong. We ordered a pepperoni but received cheese. It was still good, not going to knock a star off as the service was great even though they were very busy. The wings were ordered extra crispy and were a winner. Great service. 5 stars all around.

Very good pizza! Reminds me of home in the Midwest!!! The cheese bread is also amazing!!

My sister recommended this pizza place...I ordered the mango paradise and the deluxe...I would definitely order the mango paradise again as the habanero mango sauce was spicy and fabulous...however the cannolis were terrible.

I ordered at 730pm to go, the people were nice, but the pizza is severely burnt, and if not burnt, then the brick they cooked it on was not brushed off, the crust tasted carbony or ashy, not pleasant at all. Fresh mozzarella, the sauce is good. Probably woulda gone back if my pizza wasn't burnt. Real hard to see voted best pizza in Denver.

Everytime we're come to Golden, we have to be sure to come to Manny & Bo's. The service is always excellent. The Calzones are amazing. These guys used to work at Roma's in Thornton and it shows. Their food is every bit as good.

Perfect spot for brunch. Bloody mary was good. Little one had pancake which she liked. Beignets looked good but lacked in flavor. We also had crab cake benedict which was good and shrimp and grits. Shrimp and grits were a bit bland and watery.

Mixed review- I’d be giving 5 stars had our food come out warm, which was disappointing. Servers response was “want me to nuke it?”… um- no- who eats nuked eggs?! She did take $3.50 off the $75 bill for the inconvenience- so there was some effort- I guess. Now- the food was damn good otherwise (would have been better warm!) we specifically went for the fried green tomatoes and HOT DAMN they were DELICIOUS - these were served hot along with our beignets- which were also AMAZING! These came out immediately before our food- it was 25-30 minutes for our breakfast to come after. Biscuits and gravy was good- go for the vegetarian green Chile gravy- trust me! Country breakfast was just ok- Potato casserole was delicious- even cold- but the bottom line is that eggs are NOT good cold. The food had the flavors- if I was the cook/ chef and knew food sat long enough to get cold- and the server offered for it to be “nuked” I’d be irate. Long review short - food would be great if you served it hot. Atmosphere was really great- cute/ quaint little place.

This place is always delicious! The breakfast Mac and cheese was something different and unexpected!! The chicken pimento biscuit is always a winner. The flavor combinations are just so tasty together. The fried green tomato po’boy with remoulade and bacon was everything I hoped for! I’m sure we will be back soon! I really enjoy this place! UPDATE: We just keep coming back for more. The BBQ shrimp are amazing and the sauce is so good you’ll want to drink it. Keep it to our on everything! Especially the Mac and cheese.

We went to this place because of all the positive reviews and were not disappointed. Buffalo hash was awesome. Banana bread starter was decadent and delicious. Completely missed that it had chocolate chips in it when reading the menu so we were pleasantly surprised. Green chile gravy was by far my favorite part of the meal. The biscuit they serve with that might be that best biscuit I’ve ever had. And to top it all off they do mimosa and bloody mary flights!! Definitely stop by this place for brunch if you’re in town.

We went here for breakfast all 3 days we were here. My wife loved the fried green tomato Benedict. The coffee was great. The service was great. We had the same waitress everyday and I'm really bad with names but I think her name was Katy. She was too notch. I think I liked the Cajun Benedict the best here. The bloody Mary's were spicy, too spicy for some people maybe. I thought they were great though. I suggest going right when they open ( 7am M-F, 8 am on weekends) after that, about 9 am, it seemed to really start getting busy and because people will be people, loud.

We went there for brunch this morning, and sat at the bar. The two female bartenders were amazing! Super attentive, and made great cocktails. I started with the sassafras Mary, and it was delicious. Lots of yummy accompaniments. My husband had an old fashioned, and it was so good , he had two. I had the wedge salad with grilled chicken. Yum! The vegetables were really fresh, and the dressing was yummy. My husband had a basic breakfast, and said it was delicious. Especially the biscuit and gravy. Highly recommend! A gem in Golden!

Great Southern breakfast and brunch spot. I had the fried chicken & pimento cheese biscuit. It was excellent. Next time I'd ask for triple the pickles because they were amazing. It would also be interesting to try with jalapeno cornbread instead of the biscuit. Portions were large.

Beyond the nice craft beer selection, the strong outdoor community vibe here is undeniable. Knowing there's a trail starting practically at their doorstep, the name "New Terrain" makes perfect sense and really reflects the brewery's location.

Great brewery in Golden with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. This is my second visit and it just keeps getting better. The food trucks were great. We enjoyed our Mexican tacos and salad, and of course the beer! If you can, sit outside the view is stunning and on some days they have lovely music.

The beers are always cold and delicious. The staff is great and very attentive. We have always had great food trucks when we visit and the views are a plus.

Great location for a cold beverage after coming off a hike, bike or run on table mesa or Golden. Also a great pre-game spot for Red Rocks shows! Good beer selection and plenty of room outside.

One of my faves. Solid beer. Friendly staff. They always have tasty food trucks. Dog friendly with an awesome dog park close by, as well as a walking/bike trail. Keep making those award-winning brews!

Great brewery! Fantastic views a little stage for performances you can rent a room for a private party parking is not that great because there’s definitely more room here than there is in the parking lot. Great seating for outside. They do allow dogs on the outside and have water dishes available. So whether you buy something for here or buy something to go

Great beer in a perfect spot. Came here by chance after landing in Colorado and will be the first place we go to when we come back. Incredible beer and atmosphere. Mountain trails and a dog park back right up to it. Super dog friendly. We went when it was a little warmer but they had plenty of tables with shade as well as misters on. The only regret we have was not getting beer to go and grabbing a tshirt on the way out.

We LOVED this place! Great open and relaxed atmosphere, focused on community. The tables are big and the staff is friendly. A great place for kids. We sampled some of their house beers. Good, but not the best in Denver. Plus we tried some guest beers. Great list! The sandwiches were okay, too much bread and not enough content, but the cheesy bread dippers are UNREAL. Order them for sure!

Outdoor seating is not as nice as the other breweries in town but they definitely have the best indoor seating area. Huge selection of beers and wines. Service was excellent. Really like the self service water station. Bathroom is shared with other businesses in the building.

Great atmosphere. The air conditioning is wonderful. Great way to get out of the hot summer day and enjoy wine, wine slushy’s, specialty beers and so much on tap

Don't be fooled by the lower level apartment based location as you walk in, this place has some pretty darn good beers. Slushy machine and plenty of wine for those of you, but beer folks will definitely enjoy what's brewing here.

I went here expecting more of a tap house and they had 13 of their own beers on tap, plus a great selection of what they call guest beers. I had the Obsess stout and Chicken hands double black IPA and liked both. The decor was great (board games and big tables if you want to hang out) and the staff was very friendly. I recommend it!

We really liked this spot! Good amount of wines to try. There was also an option for a wine flight which was nice. They had some games there to play as well. Wish we wouldn’t haven’t eaten right before so we could have tried their food!

Really nice place. Constantly rotating 'guest' beverages, so their is a nice variety. The food was great and fresh.

Cute cupcake shop with many dietary options ( vegan, gluten-free). They have several flavors available daily. They also have pup-cakes.

They make the best gluten free and dairy free cupcakes I have ever had!! The carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes are so moist and delicious!!! I highly recommend making Gold Mine Cupcakes a “must visit” in Golden.

We ordered three dozen cupcakes for a baby shower and they were a huge hit! All the cupcakes were beautiful and the flavors were amazing. Everyone had trouble picking their favorites! So happy with the service and cupcakes and would highly recommend Gold Mine. We will use them for future events. Thank you!!!!

This cupcake shop was extraordinary! My kids and I stopped by while shopping downtown Golden and really enjoyed the selection of cupcakes - they even had gluten free options and cupcakes for dogs! The gluten free cupcake was the best I have ever had, and my son who is not a fan of cake in general asked for a second one. The owner was super sweet- best cupcake spot in Colorado!

We had Gold Mine Cupcakes for our wedding and they were SO AMAZING. We received so many compliments on how great they tasted. I would highly recommend them for any event or just going into their store location to pick some up. They are delicious!

Cupcakes were delicious and staff was very friendly! They had a GF option and a Vegan option for those with dietary restrictions. They also even have pupcakes for your dog! My family and I tried the Turtle, Carrot, and Lemon Raspberry cupcakes. All were a great hit. Would recommend this place :)

Amazing! Full size and small size cupcakes. 7 stars, coming back anytime I'm near here.

Always the friendliest service and the very best authentic tacos Al pastor. Street tacos. They have an excellent bar and beverage selection. Come meet Ernesto!

Amazing service, wait staff was attentive and accommodating. My compliments to the Chef! I had the fajitas Acapulco. Steak was tender and flavorful, caramelized onions were amazing, been peppers were crisp and sauteed to perfection. I would recommend this to anyone, thank you for an amazing and memorable time! We will be back for sure.

I didn’t dislike Tequila’s, but I probably wouldn’t return. The service was impeccable, staff were very attentive and kind, but the food was a mixture of good and bad, at least from my perspective. It’s possible I didn’t order the right stuff, but who knows. I ordered the enchiladas off the lunch menu, opting for one chicken and one cheese enchilada. My chicken enchilada is was pretty decent, but my cheese enchilada was almost inedible. My rice was good, but my refried beans were really bad in terms of taste. My iced tea I got was also $4, which I felt was kind of steep for a drink, but that’s fine. Overall before tip my meal was about $18, which having ordered off the lunch menu was a bit pricey.

Food used to be served hot and sizzling. Enchiladas used to be pooled in sauce and steaming on the fork. Recently there was very little sauce and food was cold on the fork. Used to be very good! Did not offer water or menu. Come for the dining experience and often, family time. Great service/atmosphere. Good house marg. Bad choice with the decline of food quality. Where will I get enchiladas now...

Dined here many years ago when in town for a show at Red Rocks. This location was in between Morrison and Westminster, which was where our hotel was located. Past by the restaurant, were in the mood for Mexican, and we tried it. Glad we did. Atmosphere was appropriate given the fare, service was solid, and food was very good. Good value for the money we spent. Would definitely recommend if you are in the neighborhood.

This place was great! Haven’t been here since the fire way back when and still as good as ever!super nice staff very attentive! I got the super burrito and wife got taco salad both delicious can remember what mom got! We also got the chorizo queso and it was delicious just forgot to snag a picture! Will come back here anytime!

Easy 5 star restaurant. Loved the food - we both thought it was the best, authentic Mexican food we’ve ever had! Excellent service & atmosphere too.

The Golden Farmers Market is an absolute gem! One of the highlights each week is stopping by Eat a Peach—Jonathan and his experienced team always greet you with a smile and a beautiful selection of seasonal, local produce. They’re constantly introducing new and unique varieties, making every visit a fresh discovery. It’s a must-stop for anyone who values supporting local farms and eating with the seasons! 🥬🍅

This farmers market is just the right size, full of options but not overwhelming. There are various fruits, vegetables, coffee and pastries, craft, salad dressings, spices, soaps and body creams. You can get a breakfast strudel, a tamale, burrito or cupcake, sit at the comfortable designated area or by the water, take a walk by the creek or explore the nearby library. It start to get busy by 9 am but there is still parking nearby. I like how friendly and easygoing everyone is, a great way to spend your Saturday morning!

This farmers market is so beautiful. I enjoyed the raw whipped honey I got and some fresh “imperfect” peaches! My dog enjoyed some freeze dried dog treats. Had some lovely conversations with some vendors. Everyone was so nice and it was a dog friendly environment with water bowls around. The best water was found at the flower bouquet booth, they kept the water bowls nice and fresh for my dog! Great town and community !

Starts late May through early October. This year last meet was October 4. Located right by the Clear creek water walk and park for easy access. Interesting mix.

Very cute, quality vendors including soaps, coffee, pastries, and food although I expected a bit more breakfast options to be present. Dog friendly and excellent location though parking can be tough later on.

Fun Farmer’s market with lots of produce, coffee, baked goods, and prepared food. We had some delicious hand pies from Legacy Pies and the BEST PEAS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE from the Ukrainian food truck!

Golden is the CUTEST town in Colorado. During the summer you can tube down the river and there is lots of hiking. The trails are taken care of really well, and they have a farmers market next to the river once a week. There is a wide variety of yummy restaurants in town as well.

Many allergen friendly options. Worth the price. Good HH. Made my bowl wrong twice and gave me the wrong sake but made it right when requested. I order the same stuff on my bowl every time and only one of maybe 30 was this way. They have a good selection of sake, you can mix up the toppings, and the desserts are great! Clean calming cozy atmosphere. Convenient fast and fresh. Good for groups. Good taro chip, and miso soup.

Imagine a Chipotle burrito…but a sushi roll. The staff was extremely helpful (and patient!), made excellent recommendations, and the food was amazing. Definitely give this a try if you’re looking for something a little different but still super filing.

One of my favorite places for a quick bite to eat. Highly recommend the mochiko chicken #8! If I had a meal I had to have everyday forever, this would be a contender. They have a great happy hour, fair prices and during ski season they give a discount for having a ski pass. Highly reccommend, they also have a great staff very friendly.

I built my own bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The total for two bowls came out to be around 44.00. However, considering the fresh ingredients, I'm not mad about it. The atmosphere is calm. I would highly recommend this place.

Loved this place! Great vegan and vegetarian options and the bowls were incredibly tasty and nutritious. All the employees were helpful and present. Prices are reasonable considering how much is packed into the bowls! I can't believe it was my first time going! I'll be back tons.

Food wise, it’s fine. Quality is about to equal to the other Poke places I’ve been. The prices here though are absolutely outrageous. You can end up with a $25 build you own bowl easily. Same thing would be $16-18 elsewhere. $1-2 extra for each vegetable should be criminal.

This place is so unknown but has the best healthy food options. These 2 bowls cost $32.

Service was OK. Parking did not be a problem when I was there but as you can see, it was pretty empty. A great place to stop and get out of traffic. The bears were cold. I also had a seltzer which came out cold. Was pretty cold outside, however and they had one of the doors open so even wearing a jacket I kept getting shivers and a chill. There is an outside seating area that look like it be pretty cool if it was nicer out with a fire. They don’t serve food, so there was a food truck outside. But the bartenders seemed friendly enough. The place is pretty clean.

Cannonball Creek has great beer and a big dog-friendly patio. There is a lot of parking and it’s a great place to stop after a hike!

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff! The beer was great, each style I had was on point and I only wish I could have had more. I'm only visiting Colorado but places like this are the reason the beer scene here is the best!

Easy parking, great service, I just didn't love the beer they had on tap when I visited. Food truck.

Great brewery with incredible beer! We sat outside with our dog, and it was a perfect spot to relax. Tried the pale ale, IPA, and the saison and every single one was delicious, but the saison especially blew me away. I can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t wait to come back!

Best beer in CO. Been traveling to visit this brewery for many years. Always impress with new beers. Great crew super friendly and always great food truck food.

We stopped by after hiking a near by trail. The brewery was fairly busy place for early Saturday afternoon. We had difficulty finding a parking spot. Beer tasted very good, well balanced and flavorful. I tried Solid Gold and Single Hop Saaz and my husband had ESB. All of the tasted very good. We got a nachos from the food truck outside. Food tasted ok but we felt it was over priced. I would come here again for beer.
