Smashburger

Smashburger has all the affectations of a standard QSR operation: counter-ordering and tableside delivery, a fast and easily navigable menu, a simple and easily duplicatable decor. But it also has a far-from-standard burger: the namesake “smashburger,” a half-pound of ground, nicely fatty Angus beef that’s whacked onto the hot steel, producing a flood of meat […]

Snarfburger

Jimmy “Snarf” Seidel may be best known for his growing chain of Snarf’s Sandwiches shops, but since debuting Snarfburger in Boulder in 2013, he’s been perfecting the old-school burger-shack vibes. All three locations excel at serving up supremely satisfying, totally customizable burgers at a super-affordable price: A double fully loaded with all the basics is […]

Split Lip

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 […]

The Sportsbook Bar & Grill

The moniker of this Greenwood Village bar pretty much sums up the place. The Sportsbook prides itself on showing just about every sporting event on its multiple flat-screen TVs (and projection screen), whether it’s football, hockey, basketball, baseball, rugby or UFC fights, and it’s one of the few spots in the Denver Tech Center area […]

Sunnyside Burger Bar

Another outpost in the Larimer Associates portfolio of Denver restaurants, Sunnyside offers a comforting menu in a casual, neighborhood joint. Burgers, as the sign says, are the name of the game here, in a relaxed setting with service that falls somewhere between fast-casual and full-on table service. Ordering is done in the standard fast-casual format: […]

Tarantula Billiards and Bar

After a long run on the second-floor corner of 15th and Champa streets, Tarantula Billiards moved to street level a block east in early 2012, giving the pool hall much more visibility. The new space has a sleek and classy look, closer to that of sister pool hall ZanZibar Billiards and Grill, which is owned […]

Twisters Burgers and Burritos

Serving Coloradans fast-casual-sized, chile-bathed burritos at fast-food prices, Twisters Burgers and Burritos is a welcome transplant from our friendly neighbors in New Mexico, with four locations in metro Denver. Twisters is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner: In the morning, have a breakfast burrito with egg, potato, chorizo and red chile; at lunch a burrito […]

Twisters Burgers and Burritos

Twisters, a New Mexico-based chain, has four locations in metro Denver. But even though it’s a chain, it doesn’t serve fast food — as evidenced by its lengthy, made-to-order menu. You can get burritos of the breakfast, specialty or build-your-own variety, plus enchiladas, combination platters, New Mexican specialties and such American favorites as burgers and […]

The W

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 […]
