With its wood-paneled walls, pool tables, dartboard and shuffleboard, this Lakewood dive feels kind of like a ’70s basement game room, minus the shag carpet.

This local chain got its start in 1981, and the menu has gotten huge over the years, with offerings ranging from shrimp cocktail to Mexican egg rolls as well as a long list of burritos and tacos.

Setting Qdoba apart from its competition is its broader menu: In addition […]
This small, family-friendly neighborhood cafe is warm and crowded during the day and loud and crowded after dark. The big kitchen is constantly at work banging out food that may not yet be ubiquitous in Denver, but certainly should be.

Sure, you could be virtuous and make a smoothie at home, but washing strawberry seeds out of the blender jar is a pain. Most people are more likely to head to one of the Denver / Boulder outposts of Jamba Juice, a chain 750 locations strong that’s got smoothie-making down to a science (or is […]

The interior of Sushi Uokura incongruously recalls the most casual of beach houses, and the sushi is excellent, without an ounce of the precious pretension that’s befallen so many Denver favorites. The eatery offers all-you-can-eat sushi and simple rice bowls at lunchtime and a more elaborate spread and selection at dinner — but it’s all […]
