Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
While there are many small restaurants in Denver, some eateries are so tiny that they’re really nothing more than walk-up windows. We posted a list of five of these little spots last week — which led to a big debate on the burgers at Grandpa’s Burger Haven.

Says Zoeanne:
Best burgers ever
Responds Legen Dairy:
Not a fan of Burger Haven. Too much bread and no meat. All about Bourbon Grill.
And then there’s this from Noah:
How on earth is Chubby’s not on this list?!
Good question, Noah. We love the original Chubby’s on West 38th Avenue, which started life as a drive-in burger joint, turned into a Mexican joint in the late ’60s, and never added a dining area. But there are always rumors that it will, and in the meantime, there are several tables outside, as well as a bench inside — and with its well-deserved reputation as a Denver institution, Chubby’s just seems like so much more than a walk-up window.
