    Maine Lobster Roll
    Don N.

    So good we visited twice in a week! We moved in just a few blocks from 5280 Burger Bar and it always looked busy when we'd drive by so we had to try it ourselves. It didn't disappoint and we enjoyed our first visit so much we returned a few days later. Spacious restaurant with a fair amount of outdoor seating, we really enjoy the setup. We have yet to dine al fresco since it's been fairly hot but we'd like to try it when the weather cools off. Everything we've had has been good, two things that stood out where the lobster roll and the prime ny strip (Thursdays) which were outstanding. Good variety of craft beers, cocktails, and wine with something for all palates. I love that an ice cream shop is attached to the restaurant, on our first visit we took a pint of their Heath Ice Cream to go since we were stuffed. I do need to return to try some of their sausage dogs! Great spot, lots of parking, fantastic staff, and large menu with lots of specials make this a regular to be on our rotation!

    Chili Relleno Eggrolls

    This restaurant was recommended by some locals. Staff were friendly. I ordered the nachos and chile relleno egg rolls as my appetizers. Both of these were fantastic. I am not a ranch person, but I enjoyed their blacken ranch. For my entree I had their seasonal jalapeño and strawberry burger. This burger did not meet expectations. The burger was cooked to perfection, but the pairing of toppings was off. I did not taste any jalapeño and the strawberry sauce was hardly present as well. Being a burger restaurant I expected more and was let down.

    Large Truffle Fries

    Food: Their pretzels are delicious here!! Crunchy salt on top of a soft, pillowy pretzel with a side of delicious queso makes it a go to. The 'What The Guac?' burger was yummy. The guacamole wasn't brown at all which tells me that it was fresh, and that freshness paired nicely with the heavier beef and toppings. The truffle fries were also good, crispy and flavorful. I would say a little less on the salt because the Parmesan cheese made it extra salty. Service: Our server was great, attentive and kind! Many of the servers seemed to be happy to work here and there was a good amount of servers, they were not understaffed at all. Atmosphere: It can get very loud in here around dinner time, but just a sign of many happy people eating! Lots of TVs to watch sports games as well. Overall: Been here a few times and they always have good, reliable burgers!

    Not sure where else you can go for a happy hour that get 2 Chardonnay's and a great burger for 20 bucks. Great food. Ambience is a 10. Upscale burgers cooked to perfection. Everytime. Staff is top notch and there's plenty of parking and more good vibes

    mushroom melt burger, large order of truffle fries and beer
    Tony J.

    Medium to large burger bar with several locations in the Denver area. Modern interior with warm lighting. Went to this one in the suburbs in a plaza. Pretty busy on a Saturday night. Menu has a selection of beers, burgers and sides. The burgers don't include sides. Got an amber lager(?) from the draft list, and it was a really good beer. As for the food, I got the mushroom burger, cooked to medium. The burger had a nice bun, thick juicy beef patty cooked to desired consistency, and a nice cheese and mushrooms. One of the best bar/pub burgers I've had for the price. Also had a large order of truffle fries, and it was definitely a large order. My friends had to help me finish the fries, and it was some nicely seasoned fries. Overall really enjoyed the food and beer.

    Rings and Fries
    Tammy S.

    We've been here twice and both times the service, food, and patio dining was terrific! The Ring of Fire Hamburger is exactly what it says it is! I like heat (the spicy kind) and this one brings it! The 2nd visit we ordered the Magic Mushroom and added poblano pepper - mmmmmm! The burgers are cooked to our preference, they are flavorful and the ingredients are fresh. The fries are fire! And even though I don't usually care for onion rings, my husband loves them so we got the rings and fries the second time and I had to try one. It melted in my mouth! Perfectly breaded and cooked where the onion is soft and sweet but not mushy. I would be happy having this on my plate again. The shosito pepper appetizer is delightful in giving that fresh green taste without being super filling (unless you eat the entire basket of peppers, that is!) Finally, while the air began to cool and the patio we decided that a frozen custard swirl was the ticket to making summer last a bit longer, and it tasted like summer on my tongue! silky, creamy, and filled with both vanilla and chocolate flavor. I'm sure we will be back next month for our "burger night" dinner - thank you!

    A series of things went wrong - our food was brought out wrong- we were given regular fries instead of truffle fries, which we told the food runner, but it didn't get fixed until we told our regular server -the fries were just ok- most were hard and overcooked, on both the wrong order and the corrected truffle fry order - everything seemed to take a long time -found a fly in my husbands drink (under the ice) I don't blame our server for any of this. Our server was really friendly and obviously doing his best, but it looked like he was running at least 7 tables, which is just way too many. They are probably understaffed, but this was a lot of problems to have on what should have been a slower Sunday at 2pm. The burgers themselves were good- I really enjoyed the black and blue- the blue cheese dressing was a nice counterpoint to the bacon, and it was cooked perfectly. I also really enjoyed the perfect burger and the onion rings. The mucho mojito was also good, although I would definitely ask for them to go easy on the jalapeño, as the spice level of an individual jalapeño is variable, and two can be way too much for my wussy self. The sunrise mule was excellent, with the grenadine giving a nice balance to the liquor. I was disappointed that the draft menu online didn't seem to match the menu in person. The salted caramel custard was fabulous, and a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Overall, I love the patio, the decor, the abundance of televisions, the server, it just seems like a lot of things fall through the cracks, which can add up. Hopefully they get it together, because the burgers are really great.

    Sydney was our bartender. She was so friendly and gave us great service. Happy hour was delicious that was a nice surprise. The garage doors open by the bar, so when there is nice weather it is a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back especially with great service like this.

The hot chicken sandwich was top tier, with the perfect amount of spice without sacrificing flavor (my biggest pet peeve with spicy food). The smashed burger? Easily in my top 5 (maybe top 3?) in Denver Metro. And that burrito--WOW. Perfectly cooked steak, fresh smashed avocado, and a cheese-crusted tortilla. 10/10, no notes.

Fortunately, it is close to our home and the reviews looked great. When we arrived, we redirected from the main dining room to another space the restaurant owns 2 doors down. I wonder if we may have had a more attentive experience had we been in the original? The first disappointment was that our meal took 40 minutes to arrive from the time that we sat down. Our waiter consistently forgot that my husband had ordered a Diet Coke or to refill the drink when he had offered. The tables around us seemingly were served earlier, even though we all placed our orders around the same time. I ordered the Thai Pork Belly Benedict, which was absolutely delectable and definitely something write home about! And the country potatoes side was perfectly seasoned and crispy. I would absolutely go back for this, just maybe on a weekday brunch due to the wait. I thought it was extremely unique how the children's menu was plated in a muffin tin, with 6 different food choices for just $12. Great deal! My husband had a Belgian waffle topped with fruit, which was really unremarkable. Reminiscent of something that you might self-make at a hotel breakfast. Unfortunately, his waffle was cold, and he requested that they remake, which our server made sure was done in a timely manner. All in all, our meal was very reasonably priced at around $43. I just wish it hadn't been such a long wait, both to receive the initial order and for drink refills.
