With a nostalgic vibe from decades ago, Magill’s offers a heck of a lot of ice cream that won’t require that you break the […]

This cozy, family-owned Italian market and deli has been around since 1976. The shelves are lined with imported pasta of all shapes and sizes, olive oil, canned goods, frozen foods like housemade sausages, and so much more. Still, the sandwiches – huge, messy masterpieces loaded onto freshly baked rolls, which you can custom-order with that […]
Szechuan Chinese has been a Lakewood institution for decades – and its dumplings attract fans from around the city. The focus here is on cuisine from the Sichuan area of China, but Szechuan also offers the usual suspects – egg-drop soup, crab Rangoon, and those potstickers stuffed with a spiced pork mixture that defies description […]
Davies Chuck Wagon was built in 1957, maybe one of the best years for diners, definitely one of the last. When it’s busy, the building seems to breathe — taking in drafts of cool air from outside, exhaling customers — and nothing is ever still as tables turn fast and coffee pots make the rounds. […]
For over three decades, this Italian eatery in a nondescript Lakewood strip mall has drawn a crowd of regulars. When it moved to a larger space next door to its original location in 2018, it didn’t lose any of its charm – thanks in large part to owner and co-founder Elisa Heitman, who was born […]

The bar was built in 1950 and poured its first drinks (officially) in 1951, back when this stretch of West Colfax was just unincorporated Jefferson County. Lakewood became a city in 1969, and the Grill was there for that, too. Through […]

Namaste offers everything a fan of Indian cuisine or even Tibetan food could possibly want – and then six or eight or a dozen more things, like shrimp saag or fried spinach and potato pakora, that they’ve never even thought of eating before seeing this triple-fold menu. The cooks here have a particular talent with […]

Luanne and Joe Margotte opened this joint well over a decade ago with the idea of transplanting a few hundred square feet of Chicago in the fertile soil of metro Denver. The game on the radio is the Cubs or the Bears; at the counter is a stash of Fannie May candies, boxes of Salerno […]
The trio of spots in this homegrown chain of diners (two in Lakewood, one in Wheat Ridge) all feature huge skillet breakfasts and dense homemade cinnamon rolls, along with top-quality meats (don’t miss the corned-beef hash) and an array of dishes perfect for hangover cures. The uniformly cheerful servers will leave a whole pot of […]
