Happy Hour ($15 total)
Tyler C.

Don't miss the happy hour! I walked in on a weekday during happy hour and sat at the bar. Was immediately served a cold beer and had my order taken. Within minutes I had nachos brought out with a 5280 burger. Meat from the nachos is from the bbq joint next door (Bert's) and honestly, I don't think I could pick out a single thing I'd change about the entire experience. Atmosphere was great, service was phenomenal, food was savory and the draft and drink selection was full of everything you might want. 5280 might be mile high, but this place feels more like cloud 9. Will visit again soon!

This was my first time to eat here at 5280. The seating area is clean nice and comfy. The service was fast and great. They have TVs everywhere which was awesome for Sunday football. They have a great draft beer selection and their menu has something for everyone. The tables are high tops with comfy benches and chairs. I got the classic 5280 burger with fries and a lemonade. The food was pretty good and service was good as well. Overall I like the ambience and we will return

Cute neighborhood spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Tons of TVs playing sports games, and the bar was largely reserved today by a local Philadelphia Eagles fan club to watch the game. Seat yourself and a helpful server will come take your order. Large selection of appetizers, salads, & burgers (which can be subbed for grilled chicken breast). We tried the chips & queso, a burger and street tacos. The queso was tasty with a nice kick & the street tacos were yummy. PSA - all burgers cooked to medium so be sure to specify if you prefer a different cooking temp.

FRIES & RINGS

An all Philadelphia eagles bar (go birds!). My first time here and we sat in the bar area. They do have regular dining/ kid friendly dining in the back of the restaurant. Big fan of the ahi tuna nachos. The brisket tacos were good but the meat was a little dry. Burger was delish and cooked perfectly medium and they toast the bun. Really loved the onion rings as well. I've been to the other eagles bar in town and while good they do not cater to food allergies. This place had gluten free buns for the burgers and omitted dairy. We will definitely be back!

Always a favorite dinner spot for when I don't feel like cooking. Their burgers are great and the onion rings+fries combo is a must (maybe because I'm a glutton but also because they do both sooo well). Each burger I've had here has been a hit. Can't go wrong. Finally made a stop here during their Thursday steak special and it was not bad for a place that specializes in burgers. I enjoyed my steak! This is a neighborhood spot that does food and service great that keeps me coming back.

Outdoor patio

What a gem of a place. I know, as a vegetarian who am I to review a burger/taphouse? But oh you vegetarians do not fret as there are vegetarian options. The burgers can be substituted with either their black bean/quinoa patty or Impossible Burger. I had the impossible burger which was perfect, but I am sure their black bean burger is very good. We went on a Sunday evening and they have a nice dog friendly outdoor patio. It's also nice they provide dog bowls for water for the dogs. Even though the high was in the high 90s the patio wasn't too hot at all and they do have a big fan to cool you off if needed. The service was amazing. All 3 waitresses that came to help us checked in on us and they spoiled our dog that we brought for dinner with us. I also have never been to a restaurant with so many thoughtful touches. For example in the bathroom they have mouthwash and mints so you can have fresh breath after enjoying dinner. They also have blankets rolled up in the front if the inside is too cold. It was also nice that I believe the owner of the place went around and made rounds and asked us how our food was. You can tell they really care about their customers! Now on to the food. My husband and I were hungry, but not hungry enough to have full size burger. So we ended up doing the duo where you can each choose your own burger but it is slider size. Well the slider size is about the size of In-n-Out burger so it was perfect for us. I got the Baja burger with caramelized onions, roasted poblanos, chipotle mayo, pepperjack cheese and subbed out the burger for impossible. I really enjoyed it and it was not spicy at all. The bun was soft and buttery. My husband got the Wagyu burger and enjoyed it. We also split loaded fries with queso and pico de gallo and it was delicious - the fries were perfectly crisp even when it was smothered in queso and was the perfect size to split between the two but not too large that we had a lot left over. They have plenty of free parking as it is shared with strip mall.

My cheeseburger was good! The lobster roll was a little dry. Although burgers were good but nothing too memorable or special. I wish the truffle fries were crispier instead of soaked in oil. Excellent service. We had the sweetest and most attentive waitress. Very casual and fun spot to hang out if you want a quick bite.

Four star food, five star service. stopped into 5280 for dinner tonight and it was great! We were immediately greeted at the door and right away we knew we were going to be taken care of tonight. Sat outdoor and enjoyed the cooler weather while also having front row seats to tonight's game. Food: bacon cheeseburger, plain fries (classic! Cooked perfectly and flavorful) 4/5 Prime steakhouse burger, truffle fries (so many yummy elements, would recommend) 4.5/5 Mac and cheese (loved this soooo much) 5/5 Salted Carmel icecream (3/5 melty and meh) Service: Amazing. Great people!

Ice cream, fruity pebbles, strawberries
Michael G.

This place is exactly what I want in a hometown restaurant/bar. The staff was friendly and personable. The owner engaged with patrons. A lot of people were there to watch the UT game. They have a lot of space and quite a few big TVs. I ordered wings and that's the one thing they could improve. There was simply not enough sauce (I'm sure they would've happily fixed that if I had asked). The burgers were juicy and cooked right. I realize this is a burger and taphouse place but.... I'm coming here for the ice cream! They'll make whatever your heart desires. It's a good thing I don't live closer to this place because I would be eating WAY too much of their ice cream. I'm not sure what to tell you other than to try it and find out for yourself how good it is.

Lunch specia: drink, burger & fries.  Likes like...$12.50.  Delish.
Stephanie B.

Lunch special burger, drink, and fries for something like $12.50. Delicious. They also have a happy hour with five dollar beers and five dollar snacks. Everything tasted here has been very good.

Onion rings
Bee B.

5280 Burger and Taphouse is now a rotating staple for me. Thur night steak night! $35 for prime ribeye or filet with salad and potatoes. We finally got a chance to stop in for steak night, and what a great meal! I chose the 13 oz prime ribeye, with Caesar salad and mashed potatoes. It got subbed for a different style of potatoes, but not mad at it. Staff here always friendly and love this spot!

How did they come up with the name 5280 Burger and Taphouse?

This small chain began in the city of Denver, and Denver is 5280 feet above sea level.

On the menu on the website they have 2 differ prices on the shakes 7.50 signature shake which i thought contained alchol and the other price is 6.00 so is there one price for the shake as it indicated that on the restaurant menu?

Just Saw the Lunch Special for 11.99 on the online ordering it looks like you can get a side salad as one of the choices but did not see the Fountain Drink on the Lunch Special on the online ordering does it still come with a drink?

What is on the $11 Lunch Special as it does not mention it on the menu?

What a special special! You get a 1:4 lb burger with homemade soup or fries and a soft drink for $11.99. If you join their VIP email group you occasionally get that deal for…

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish.

The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

It is a sports bar It has a million attractive wonderful aspects. It has a million pain in the neck aspects. Everything is a good news bad news joke. But the good news is pretty good. * * * I ran into the bad news right upon entering the restaurant. There was not a comfortable table to sit at anywhere in the restaurant except at the bar. Benches were so low that it was like being a four year old at the grown up table. I would have needed a telephone book to reach the table. Regular chairs don't face the TV so you have to crane your neck to see the sports. Comfortable curved sofa benches exist, but they are 500 miles from the TV. So I tried seat after seat after seat before ending up at the bar. The bar was okay. * * * The bar choices are ample and slim. There were surprisingly thin offerings on beer. There were WONDERFUL listings on bourbon and rye. I am a rye drinker, so I was in hog heaven. The tequila listings were pretty good too. Gin drinkers, scotch drinkers and vodka drinkers were just going to have to take what was available. The cocktail menu was about average. I was in a golden cloud of glory with all my choices. Angel's Envy Rye is first rate libation that is simultaneously fiercely peppery and sublimely smooth. Rough on the taste means usually means rough going down. This was BDSM with the grace of a feather. I was in love. * * * Chile con carne was a beautiful chili with brisket rather than the usual hamburger. Flavoring was superb. The brisket chunks were three times as big as you would comfortably want to put in your mouth all at once. You don't want to take a fork and knife to a bowlful of chili. So I was struggling to eat my meat all night while at the same time admiring the quality of the recipe. Cover 3 Kitchen Preppers: How much extra work is it really to cut your meat into manageablely sized pieces? * * * Garlic Mashed Potatoes had a picture of garlic walked in front of the potatoes while they were boiling. Garlic? What garlic? The handful of mouthfuls with butter were good. The rest was empty starch. * * * The human beings working the bar were fantastic. Two of the nicest and most helpful ladies working in the bartending trade. Good people count for a lot in a restaurant. * * * The sports televisions were great. Watching Duke eke out a one point win over Louisville in women's basketball was good times. * * * Then comes the dessert. Dark clouds. The brownie with three scoops of ice cream, candied pecans, and caramel sauce tasted fantastic. It was an irresistible end to a meal. But brownies should really really not be the size of a big box store. Remember from English class - "Enough! No More! Tis not so sweet now as it was before." The brownie was three to five times the size of a regular brownie - and this was before all the extra stuff was put on top of it. It was super rich and super good the way brownies are supposed to be. It was gooey the way super brownies are supposed to be. But the only human being in history who could have managed that sucker was Diamond Jim Brady, the notorious glutton of the Gilded Age. (Four T-bone steaks, two ducks, a half a dozen lobsters, three dozen oysters, two pounds of candy and an entire pastry tray were a normal dinner for him. He could go for more if there were special treats.) I went from being happy and in a good mood to being a little full, then more than full, then Jesus-Christ-I-Can't-Stand-It-Anymore. I left half of that brownie on my plate, and left Cover 3 nauseated and staggering. Not the way you want to end an otherwise fine evening. * * * Cover 3 has its definite attractions - even if you have to put up with the chairs. Bourbon and rye drinkers, take especial note. If you are going to have dessert, Bring a Sunday School bus full of second graders with you. One dessert will be enough to feed the bus.

The chicken had a really crunchy batter without being greasy, and the ciabatta tasted fresh. The fries were crispy and not overly salted.

That kind of attention feels thoughtful and rare, especially for a counter service spot. They have a nice selection of iced teas including herbal tea and flavored green tea, plus beer and soda. It feels like more of a brunch / lunch place but it works for dinner too. This isn't a place where you come away saying "you have to order this one thing." It's more that everything is done well across the menu, which makes it easy to come back and try something different next time. I can't speak to the other locations, but this one was great.

My dish had 4 small shrimp (which I ate) a lot of anduille sausage bits, and a lot of flavorful sauce over these soupy cheesy grits that was not what I expected. It was served as a "soup" with a spoon. There was some toasted bread on the side of the bowl. While everything was very flavorful, I did not like the soupy consistence, it was unexpected for me. My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor!
