Uber Sausage got its start as a food truck that slung sausages, then graduated to a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue in 2011. The spot may be small, but the homemade sausages are big, and big on flavor. “We did the truck first, but I knew that I wanted to do a gourmet sausage-sandwich […]

Austin-based chef and restaurateur Tyson Cole brought his hit spin on a Japanese sushi house to Denver’s RiNo neighborhood in 2018, and at the time, there was some skepticism about an out-of-state concept trying to replicate success in the Mile High. But Uchi Denver has proven to be a powerhouse in its own right, where […]
Tapas, gin and good times have turned a once-dark corner of Union Station into a destination for folks seeking Spanish cuisine. While the interior is tight at this restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Jennifer Jasinski and Beth Gruitch, a table outside makes for a pleasing outing when accompanied by rounds of small plates filled […]
Uncle, which opened in 2012, was Denver’s first modern entrant in the ramen-shop craze, and what an entry it was. Owner Tommy Lee took a less traditional approach to the time-honored Japanese noodle soup, creating intensely complex and tasty broths as a base for a nest of noodles and other delicious accoutrements. Years into this […]
The Wash Park outpost of Highland ramen shop Uncle opened in 2019. Here, owner Tommy Lee offers a slightly expanded menu that only ups the appeal of his less traditional approach to the time-honored Japanese noodle soup. The intensely complex and tasty broths are a base for a nest of noodles and other delicious accoutrements. […]

“Fryers still bring me nightmares,” says Steven Sharp, who opened the Universal in Sunnyside in the summer of 2012 with his wife, Kourtnie Harris. Sharp’s first job was frying chicken at a fast-food restaurant in California, and it scarred him enough that decades later, when he opened his own spot, he did so without a […]
Owner Patrick Mangold-White’s tacos are overstuffed monsters, but the flavors are addictive, offering smoky, earthy, sweet and acidic notes in each amply filled bite. You’ll find tortas and a lone burrito on the menu as well, but stick with the tacos: Whether you opt for simple lengua accompanied by chiles or the fancier duck confit […]
Anyone looking for unusual ethnic mash-ups, American style, will find them at Uoki, a combination Korean/Japanese restaurant and sushi bar with a menu that covers virtually all of the Asian comfort foods. Here you can make a meal of tekka maki, a bowl of excellent, thick and spicy green-curry soup with potatoes and carrots, and […]
Like many other Colorado craft brewers, Boulder’s Upslope Brewing grew exponentially after opening in 2008. The microbrewery is the second Colorado brewery to use cans exclusively in its packaging. Its large tap room features a stage and a garage door that can be opened to accommodate live bands, and a rotating schedule of food trucks.
Urban Cafe & Restaurant got its start in 2020 serving food under a tent in a parking lot on Santa Fe Drive, but luckily for Denver Health employees (as well as the dining public), it now has a brick-and-mortar home in a space connected to the hospital. The line moves quickly, with customers ordering smoothies […]

If you’re looking for the big menu, the something-for-everyone brunch experience, this is the place to go. Now with eight Colorado spots, Urban Egg is a growing, locally owned chain that prioritizes community and people-first values, and backs that up with high-quality food that consistently comes through on flavor and execution. Offerings run the gamut, […]
While chef Charles Mani doesn’t claim to make the “traditional” Indian fare with which most Colorado diners are familiar, plenty of items on the menu at the three-year-old Urban Village Grill speak to the classic recipes. But thanks to Mani, the butter chicken, 24-hour dal and coconut curry come with a French culinary twist, too. […]

Head for Edgewater if you like your Thai spicy. US Thai Cafe brings the heat with force and flavor, but it’s not just a gimmick. Thai chiles enhance and balance massive amounts of other spices – galangal, lemongrass, garlic, kaffir lime leaf and ginger, to name a few. Curries are thick with the pulverized pulp […]
In retrospect, the idea to open a brewery with a drive-thru window for beer and food is so genius, it’s amazing that no one had thought of it before. Last year, the Trapp family, who run a Boulder restaurant construction company, took over an old Burger King in Lafayette and turned it into a restaurant, […]
Sam Slade opened this sunny little bakery in the Berkeley neighborhood in the spring of 2016, but she’s been turning out pieces of edible art for years now, first at Le Bakery Sensual and then out of Temple Bakery. Her cakes, cookies and cupcakes emerge from the kitchen in forms familiar (flowerpots and rose blossoms), […]
