The food, ambiance, drinks and staff were amazing! We enjoyed a whiskey tasting and Aaron did a great job in explaining everything about whiskey! You can tell he has a passion for this! My first time going and now that I have found it here, I will definitely be coming often!
Came on a business trip to Denver with my bf and we tried this place out. The food was very filling and good. Our server was very sweet and attentive. I would recommend if you're in Denver and looking for a quick bite.
Cool little place that we stopped at during our trip to Denver. The wings were pretty good, the pretzel bites were good, and everyone seemed to enjoy the jalapeño popper dip. My girl had a burger called the slopper which came open faced and she wasn't used to that. She substituted the simple salad for her fries and enjoyed that. She said the burger had good flavor but she didn't like the "no bun" I had the Classic Cheeseburger and I added bacon and also had mine with thousand island dressing. The table we sat at was a little strange as it was kind of a circle booth but the table had corners at the back side that made it hard to get out of. The bun on my burger was not very good, being dry and seemingly stale but the burger itself was good. Not a bad experience otherwise, and the joint was cool.
I truly don't know what to say about this place. First, I should mention I have been on a mission to find decent food in the Denver area, and have had so little luck that I am starting to get depressed about it. I was on my way back from Manitou Springs, was starving, saw this place, and it looked inviting from the outside, so I went in. I was immediately pleasantly surprised by the ambience and decor. It has lots of what looks like reclaimed wood, large bar with bottles that go up to the ceiling. I sat for a while at the bar, the bartender said hello, but kept on with his business. I just sat and sat... finally he came by and asked what I wanted and I shrugged and said, "Can I have a menu?" He points to a carved wood piece in front of me, that has a QR carved into it. I would have literally never seen it if he hadn't pointed it out (I feel that should be the first thing bartenders say when someone sits down, but whatevs...) I decide to get food to go and have a glass of wine while I wait. This is where it gets really weird. There were maybe 2 or 3 people at the bar, clearly regulars because of the conversation -- and it soon became super obvious that I was not wanted there. The bartender made that very clear. There was esoteric conversation between him, the 2 or so customers, and one of the servers also came and joined. One of the customers got up and had private conversations with the bartender and the server towards the side of the bar - - and with every interaction with the bartender, it was clear he wanted me to finish my wine, take my food to go, and go. Even as he is putting my wine in front of me, he is facing and talking to the other customer. All of it was the weirdest vibe imaginable. I could only surmise that this is a neighborhood bar and newcomers are not welcome. In the middle of chatting with this customer, the bartender comes over and says "Are you doing ok for the moment?" Weird way to ask if someone wants another glass of wine. I don't know. I walked away feeling grossed out. Oh, and even though he was incredibly inattentive, all I did was take out my credit card, and within a half a second, he had my bill in front of me. I didn't have to ask for the bill, he was just so aware that I took out my credit card that he had that bill in front of me before I had barely removed it from my wallet. Weird. All of it, weird. I drove away resolving that this was a neighborhood place, and I am not a part of that neighborhood, and just steer clear of this place. It was like I walked into a private conversation that no one wanted me to be privy to. But here is the rub. I drove home and the food was pretty frickN good. And as I say, I have had the cruddiest restaurant food experience here in Denver, that this was a sad revelation. Food pretty damn good (I got the french dip, and it was pretty damn tasty, and the fries were so good I didn't have to put anything on them) , decor welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, but no one but regulars are welcome. Bummer.
Great food and service. Parking is definitely a problem. A lot of cars picking up at one of three places shared with the lot. Still will go back just not during prime time.
I can finally suggest the biscuits. Which is important because it's in the name of the joint. They are nice and layered and not too dry--a common problem with biscuits here in the mile high city (add a little extra buttermilk and cook it a little longer, BTW). The scrambled eggs were brown and rubbery, which is a shame as it was the only mark on a great breakfast and always kind staff. And, of course, showcasing their incredible and unique scoop shaped potatoes.
Good food, better drinks, TVs all around to watch sports, it was a decent spot for a nice dinner.
