Like the Great American West implied by its name, Range is a place with big ambitions. These are hinted at in the shiny metallic banquettes (gold fever?) and the walnut communal tables sized in anticipation of crowds. They’re also implicit in the fact that Range, which opened this spring in the new Renaissance Denver City […]

Like T-shirt shops on the boardwalk, every tourist town has to have a Raven Hill: a simple, friendly, non-threatening family restaurant where everyone from Grandpa to Junior to your weird foreign-exchange student can find something to eat. It’s just a single dining room with a bar to one side, but owner/operators Ken Gustafson and Gwen […]
Owner Jose Acevedo watches the front of the house, standing post behind the short bar, overseeing service and talking soccer and food with his regulars. In the back, chef Ulises Santiago and his crew cook up seasonal menus from Latin America, changing the globe-trotting lineup several times a year. This casual, comfortable place has been […]
The Rio Grande got its start in 1986 in Fort Collins, where college students came to rely on the incredibly strong margaritas — limit three per customer, and no revealing the secret recipe — and big plates of gringo Mexican fare. Today, inspired by owner Pat McGaughran’s early trips to the Yucatan peninsula, the menu […]

David Schneider opened Row 14 in the Spire, a hip condominium high-rise, in March 2011, creating a New American concept well-suited to the upscale theater-district neighborhood. The deep, high-ceilinged dining room isn’t ostentatious, but it’s richly appointed and luxurious, with dark-wood tables, a massive bar beneath dark-gray walls, and gold curtains that divide more intimate […]
The road to ramen leads to Sachi Sushi, a surprising spot up in Niwot. That’s because on Sundays, this cordoned-off area of the Niwot Market, with its handful of tables and a sushi counter, becomes one of Colorado’s best bets for brimming bowls of authentic, Kyushu-style ramen, toothsome noodles steeped in sticky tonkotsu broth. While […]
There are some restaurants where the world does not intrude — rooms where time does not pass, weather never changes, current events go unnoted. Pho Saigon is one of those places, unaltered by time and circumstance, with service that”s always quick and friendly. Another constant is the excellent pho, but the menu also extends to […]
This breezy, fast-casual Middle Eastern joint inhabits a prominent corner of the Streets at SouthGlenn, serving up shawarma, kabobs and hummus to patrons passing through its line. Those diners then fill wooden tables in the dining room or, in the warm months, crowd the patio, spilling onto the streets. The spot’s name comes from a […]

Sam Taylor’s does its barbecue wet — slathered in a thick, sticky, gloss-black sauce, a Tennessee-meets-Kansas City riff that packs both heat and sweet. The gigantic, slow-smoked pork ribs are excellent, as is the pork sandwich (or “poke sammich”); the homemade potato chips actually taste like potatoes, the brisket sandwich is decent, and the steam-table […]
The yeasty aroma of fresh-baked treats wafting from the San Antonio Mexican Bakery and Juice Bar holds the promise of a sweet breakfast or savory lunch. The variety of breads and pastries at San Antonio is almost overwhelming. In a well-stocked panaderia like San Antonio’s, we love walking from case to case with a cafeteria […]
The formula that works for Santa Fe Cookie Co., a hole-in-the-wall off the 16th Street Mall, probably isn’t one that would work for any other bakery in the middle of downtown Denver: Customers enter at one end of a shop, drop a dollar into a giant plastic jug, retrieve a small paper bag filled with […]
Colorado is lucky to have many homegrown Mexican chains — but none have been as successful as Santiago’s. And with good reason: This chain, which has twenty locations (and counting), doesn’t just offer great to-go breakfast burritos; it also serves up an absolutely addictive green chile. In mild, medium and hot, it’s tasty enough at […]

It’s slow going at Se
Great strip-mall barbecue is a rare thing, but Shead’s has once again accomplished it with this new location open inside the multi-ethnic strip mall on Iliff Avenue. Small ends, good ribs, fine sides and a peach cobbler so wet with sauce it has to be served in a cup — that’s what makes up the […]
This casual deli chain got its start in the Vail Valley in 2003 and now has locations in six states, with two in downtown Denver as well as stores in Westminster and Arvada. While Smiling Moose is a blossoming chain, the company runs each location as a local restaurant, staffed by employees who live in […]
