A bit of New Mexico in a strip mall, Little Anita’s is run by an Albuquerque family with a 30-year history in the restaurant business. The space is small and only offers counter service, but both the red and green chiles are multi-layered and flavorful, and the food features plenty of Southwestern touches, such as […]
The Piper Inn looks like a biker bar – and it is. But it’s also an everyone-else bar. You can find your mom, your co-worker and dudes who ride Harleys all enjoying cold brews and house specialties like Chinese-style wings, burgers and carne asada fries. The bar, which opened in 1968, was named for the […]
The original six-seater takeout place on Colorado Boulevard was founded by a guy from Pennsylvania, and even though it’s now owned by folks from south Jersey, they still know how to make a real Philadelphia cheesesteak. It’s a great sandwich in every way, from the caramelized onions to the chopped steak to the American cheese […]
This calm and unassuming little spot serves up some great dishes, using demonstrably fresh ingredients and well-constructed sauces. The fantastic food makes up for the stark interior — the egg rolls, for example, which are so often a throwaway dish, are truly excellent here, and don’t miss the soft-shell crab appetizer.
For more than twenty years, this very casual, sports-oriented spot has been cooking up credible BBQ, right down to the sweet, hickory-smokey Oklahoma-style sauce. While you’re munching, watch the big game on one of the many TVs; in the summer, hit the huge deck to ogle the babes playing volleyball.

We’re very lucky. As a matter of fact, we’re the luckiest people in the whole USA, because this small, unprepossessing spot squashed into Tiffany Plaza is the only Oshima Ramen in America. Brought from Tokyo to the Rocky Mountain West by local noodle magnate Todd Imamura, this marks the beginning (and the end) of the […]
There’s not much atmosphere here, but the sushi’s fresh, so skip the cooked dishes and eat it raw. And be sure to peruse the menu, because reading the names of Banzai’s innovative rolls is half the fun. With dishes like the Chernobyl, the Shake-N-Bake, the ever-popular Drum Roll, and both the Tighty Whitey and the […]
Step through the doors of Denver’s New York Pizzeria and you’re stepping through the doors of a true New York pizzeria — and into the world of good pizza men. The smell of hot ovens, sweating dough, sweet tomatoes and charred baking flour is as unmistakable as it is universal. The pizzas are perfect New […]
Peppers is best known for its pancakes — a flagship staple at this restaurant, light and fluffy, but still substantial enough that a stack of two makes a full meal. Trust us: These slightly sweet, slightly malty hotcakes are the diner pancakes of your dreams. But don’t be fooled into thinking that all Peppers has […]
A born-and-bred Colorado chain founded by the British O’Sullivan brothers in 1998, Brothers offers everything a traditional barbecue joint must: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken and hot links, to be slathered with any of the array of homemade sauces. You can order those meats on sandwiches or in plate specials, family packs or even by […]
With friendly servers and a kitchen skilled in the smoky rusticity of Vietnamese cooking, the two-decade-old New Orient is a solid choice for those looking for authentic flavor in the middle of the ‘burbs. Of particular note are New Orient’s near-perfect curries that may forever change the way you look at strip-mall dining, and the […]

This is romantic, refined dining, in a room so elegant you forget Tuscany is part of a hotel. The kitchen focuses on things Italian, offering sophisticated fare (including wonderful rustic breads) that takes a few chances.
During its nearly three decades in business, Pantaleone’s has survived boom and bust cycles — but when the southeast Denver pizzeria failed to really bounce back from the last recession, owners Pete and Paulette Fafalios contacted Kitchen Nightmares — and in summer 2013, show host Gordon Ramsay came to town to turn the restaurant inside […]
New York Deli News is Denver’s answer to the famed Carnegie Deli of Manhattan, with a few important differences. Although the plates are substantial, typically heaped with corned beef, pastrami and brisket imported from New York, they’re not huge – and neither is the bill. More significantly, the servers are friendly and patient, giving diners […]
Founded n 1986, Kokoro has specialized in speed, low prices, freshness and healthy ingredients — with a Japanese accent — for decades now. In both look and feel, this original outpost apes a Japanese noodle shop, serving rice bowls and noodle bowls, sushi lite (think California and spicy tuna rolls), gyoza, edamame and salads, all […]
When Krishan Kappor relocated India’s, his terrific curry house, from its longtime home on the perimeter of Tamarac Square to Tiffany Plaza, he definitely traded up in space. But in February 2015, India’s outgrew that space, too, and now occupies a building farther east on Hampden Avenue. The food is as good as ever and […]
Since 1976, Breakfast Inn has been a south Denver staple serving up comfort food for breakfast and lunch. Inside, a model train loops through one half of the dining room as heaping plates of hot food come out of the kitchen. Breakfast Inn has all the diner staples, but the can’t-miss items here are the […]

The casual, kitschy Crown Burgers has been around since 1987, when George Brokalakis opened the place with the same name and menu as a small chain founded in Salt Lake City, where he lived before moving to the Mile High. But this place is pure Denver: Both inside the dining room and from the drive-thru […]
