This Park Hill space was formerly home to the Elm, a great Boston bar. It’s been other concepts since then, but nothing has stuck – which we hope changes with the W. The place is a passion project for husband-and-wife team (and longtime Park Hill residents) Ernest and Carrie Wigglesworth, who brightened up the place […]

King of Wings launched as a food truck before debuting a brick-and-mortar that doubles as a taphouse in 2020. A year and a half after its opening, a kitchen fire forced it to close, but after staying alive thanks to a successful Snipeburger smashburger pop-up, King of Wings came back better than ever in 2023 […]
This is the second Denver outpost of Gaia Masala & Burger, a fast-casual restaurant offering straight-up Indian dishes, a smattering of Mediterranean entrees like falafel and shawarma, and a handful of burgers. But dig deeper into the menu and you’ll find the really exciting stuff : neon-orange tikka masala cheesesteaks (made with beef at the […]
Over its almost eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar to burger institution, consuming adjacent Cherry Creek storefronts along the way. In 2023, the local legend opened its third outpost in Littleton, keeping the vibe of the space similar to the OG and converting the parking lot into a Burger Garden. The […]
A fast-casual restaurant that started in Boulder and now has two Denver outposts, Gaia Masala is a savior for anyone seeking late-night eats. It offers straight-up Indian dishes, a smattering of Mediterranean entrees like falafel and shawarma, and a handful of burgers. But dig deeper into the menu and you’ll find the really exciting stuff: […]
After getting its start during the pandemic as a patio pop-up and gaining fans who craved its Mississippi slug burger with “too many pickles,” Split Lip moved into RiNo’s Number Thirty Eight in 2021. The team, made up of longtime fine-dining pros, serves a menu filled with fun takes on comfort food and hyper-regional culinary […]

This small burger joint serves up molten cheese-stuffed burgers for the masses. The spot’s founders hail from Minnesota – the birthplace of the OG Juicy Lucy – and brought their hometown’s creation to the Mile High City in 2021. It also serves up standard single and double burgers (with or without cheese), a chicken sandwich […]
Sourcing local is key at Knockabout, which opened inside Avanti Denver in the summer of 2020. Behind the concept is chef Brandon Spain, who previously owned Fort Collins-based food truck Tramp About, and his partner, Kaitlyn Peot, who worked at New Belgium Brewing for a decade. Now the duo is fully focused on burgers ($14-$15 […]
In 2017, Denver Beer Co. partnered with the founders of Lucky Pie, who launched a new burger concept out of a vintage airstream trailer that’s parked inside of its Arvada taproom. The standard Mighty Burger is $12 and includes a 1/3-pound patty topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and American cheese on a super-squishy bun, plus […]
The burgers at this outpost of the local chain are hefty and juicy, ranging from the classic Shroom Luvas to the slightly overboard house burger, piled with smoked pulled pork, a thick-cut onion ring and two kinds of cheese. Add-ons like a fried egg or a luxurious slab of foie gras turn the basic burger […]
Over its almost eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar to burger institution, consuming adjacent Cherry Creek storefronts along the way. And in 2018, the local legend finally outgrew its birthplace and expanded by opening a second outpost in the Ballpark neighborhood. Luckily, the burgers didn’t suffer in the move; the smoky, […]

The famed burger chain opened its first Colorado location in March 2018 to a mile-high mountain of hype and lines out the door of its Larimer Street outpost. It would be easy to dismiss the New York-based outfit as just another carpetbagger in a covered wagon, except that it turns out solid burgers at a […]
You can’t cook a cheeseburger at home the way Culver’s does. You don’t have the equipment (a gleaming, forty-inch expanse of searing steel flat-top) or the expertise (the Culver family has been flipping cheeseburgers since 1984, when they opened their first joint in Wisconsin) or the commitment (each Culver’s makes its own burgers to order, […]
The guys behind 5280 Burger Bar expanded the concept from downtown Denver to Westminster in 2017, but they didn’t change much else about the popular joint. They (still) really like burgers, so their casual spot features burgers made from Colorado beef and other locally sourced ingredients, as well as homemade buns, sauces and other toppings […]

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger, which opened in the West Colfax neighborhood in summer 2016, is the sister restaurant to the ridiculously popular Highland version. This Tap is bigger in almost every respect. Higher ceilings, an enormous bar, more TVs, massive windows – even the menu has been beefed up with the addition of barbecue. […]
