When Beckon opened in 2018, it was the city’s first chef’s-counter restaurant. Now, more and more high-end tasting-menu options are available, but Beckon continues to stand out with a menu created by chef Duncan Holmes and his team that changes quarterly, an approach inspired by the Earth’s connection to the moon. Tucked off busy Larimer […]
From the outside, the Beer Depot Lounge might look a little sketchy, but this 38th Avenue dive is fairly clean and respectable inside. The friendly joint has its share of locals and regulars, who come for cheap drinks and drink specials, free pool, shuffleboard, live music, karaoke and occasional free bar food.
This tiny Wheat Ridge takeout-only spot is primarily a deli, offering both fresh and cured sausages (mostly Italian) as well as imported olives and cheese, frozen lasagna and pizza dough, among other specialty items. But don’t miss the deli sandwiches – monstrous piles of meat, cheese and giardiniera between hefty slices of ciabatta baked fresh […]
Yes, the view is lovely from this longtime Mexican restaurant perched above the eastern edge of downtown. But the most beautiful sight may well be the menu, which offers a vast array of choices, including breakfast served all day; combinations of the greatest hits; steak and seafood dishes; and daily specials – the best of […]

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 […]
Great tacos start with the meat, and you know you’re getting great meat at Beltran’s because the butcher counter is right next to the grill. Whether quick-grilled specialties like carne asada, beef fajitas or alambres (beef with bacon and vegetables) or slow-roasted pastor and barbacoa, the tacos come out with the perfect flavor and texture. […]
Benihana is the Barnum & Bailey of Japanese food, an unabashedly corny and often embarrassing centerfold of eye-rolling wisecracks, theatrics and occasional mishaps from the knife-wielding teppenyaki chefs who elevate (some would say disintegrate) food into an entertainment form. But guess what? The food here is nothing to sneer at, and the fried rice – […]
Benny’s is a Colorado classic, a Den-Mex restaurant that serves fat-ass burritos, enormous nacho platters, free chips and salsa, and (allegedly) 350 gallons of margaritas every weekend. This is a favorite go-to place for a side of chicharrones (crisp and hot and greasy as hell) and a bowl of green chile (indubitably Coloradan – thick […]

Fugeddaboutit! Big Bill’s is the kind of place that sparks instant nostalgia, whether you’ve been going there for years or you’re making your first visit. “Big” Bill Ficke grew up in New York but moved to Denver in the ’70s. He once did a stint as an assistant coach for the Nuggets, and also owned […]
Boulder County boys Tyler Ruse and Nathaniel Miller filled the craft-beer gap in the Highway 36 corridor with Big Choice, a 2,500-square-foot tasting room and brewery with eight beers on tap and a late-’80s/early-’90s music, movies and skateboarding theme.

This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit Texas brisket, […]
It’s hard to miss the chuckwagon-style drive-up just east of Kipling on 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge — especially in the mornings, when there’s a crowd clamoring for the cheap but filling breakfast burritos that Big Mama’s is known for. The eatery opens early and closes by 2 p.m., catering exclusively to breakfast and lunch […]
There’s no grizzled old papa at Big Papa’s standing watch over a hickory fire in the parking lot, but rather one giant Southern Pride smoker in the back. This little storefront outfit works fast — and with barbecue, speed is made possible only by the intelligent application of technology and mass-production methods. The ribs, the […]
