Maggiano’s Little Italy

This branch of Brinker International, which also owns Chili’s, is fancier than its corporate sibling — and it’s definitely several steps above Olive Garden in the Italian chain-food world, with items priced accordingly. The extensive lunch and dinner menus offer traditional and specialty pastas, chef’s favorite plates, and various preparations of shrimp, chicken, beef, pork […]

Maggie & Molly’s Sweet Life

Founded in 2005, Maggie & Molly’s operated as an online business until it finally opened a bricks-and-mortar store on Sixth Avenue in May 2010. But whether you order the goods online for delivery or pick them up in person, every item is made from scratch. The offerings include cakes, pies, pastries, breakfast items, cookies and […]

Magill’s World of Ice Cream

Ice cream can be so overpriced these days; what was once an affordable post-soccer game treat for kids has become the culinary equivalent of cold gold. But Magill’s is the exception. 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 […]

Magness Arena

Magness Arena — the 7,200-seat, multi-purpose sports arena at the University of Denver — hosts DU’s teams, first and foremost, but the Pioneers basketball and ice-hockey players are far from the only people to grace the floors of this venue. Completed in 1999 as part of the university’s new Ritchie Center sports complex, the arena […]

Magnet Inn

It’s a bit hard to gauge what’s beyond the darkly tinted front windows, but this nondescript Englewood dive has a pretty cool interior. Although the walls are lined with photos of Denver sports legends, it’s not your typical sports bar with TVs blasting; you’re more likely to hear some of the regulars talking about local […]

Maize in the City

Majestic Saloon

The Majestic Saloon somehow feels larger than the modest space it occupies in a strip mall off Parker Road. There’s a lot packed into the place: pool tables, a jukebox, a shuffleboard table and a small stage that hosts weekly karaoke sessions and occasional live performances. The bar’s menu is equally ambitious and boasts a […]

Major Tom

Call, which debuted in 2017, got a lot of buzz when it landed on Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants list, but that concept didn’t survive the pandemic. Chef-owner Duncan Holmes and crew didn’t slow down, though. In 2023, the team earned a Michelin star for Beckon, its upscale tasting-menu concept; it also debuted the à […]

MAKfam

Chef Kenneth Wan grew up as a restaurant kid – his parents are from Hong Kong and opened a Chinese American joint after immigrating to the U.S. He and his wife, Doris Yuen, started slinging Hong Kong-style French toast in NYC before moving to Colorado and opening Meta Asian Kitchen inside Avanti in 2019. In […]

Mali Thai Cuisine

Some may like it hot, but that’s not what the people behind Mali Thai Cuisine, which opened in late 2012 in south Denver, believe. “American people, some never eat Thai food,” says general manager Alex Tongbua, a native of Thailand. “We tend to give things mild.” And that’s a shame, especially if you’re trying to […]

Mama Jo’s Biscuits and BBQ

A lot can happen in four years: Just ask husband-and-wife duo Ben and Jodi Polson, who launched their food truck, Mama Jo’s, in 2021. Recently, they took their business to the next level by opening a brick-and-mortar location in the former home of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs on Colfax. The inspiration for the original food truck […]
