Great off-the-beaten-path bistro with excellent food and an aviation atmosphere. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and cup of soup combo. Sandwich was the Tail Dragger sandwich (Black Forest ham, oven-roasted turkey, pastrami, salami, Swiss, provolone, and mayo on sourdough) along with Jalapeño Beer Cheese soup. The sandwich was spot on, well toasted with a satisfying crunch, melty cheese, and layers of flavor in every bite. The soup was equally impressive: rich, cheesy, and savory with just the right amount of jalapeño kick without being overpowering. There was a fairly large group of older / retired folks who had just ordered when I arrived. Whether they were waiting on a charter flight or this is a regular Wednesday gathering, the place had a fun atmosphere. Despite the crowd and several pending orders, my food came out faster than expected. As an added bonus, the Vegas Golden Knights' jet was parked on the tarmac, which was very cool to see. This place reinforces my theory that FBOs and semi-private airports often have some of the best hidden gem diners and bistros, places usually known only to flight crews and private pilots. Definitely worth the stop. read more

I was taking a flight to Arizona to meet a girl I've wanted to meet for a year. I got into Rocky Mountain airport an hour early and decided to get something to eat. I found this little restaurant right inside the main terminal. The staff were absolutely wonderful and treated me like gold. I ordered a four cheese flatbread pizza and it was simple and tasty. My wife ordered a bbq pulled pork sandwich that she said was fantastic as well. This was a very simple lunch that was made better by such an incredibly personable staff. From ordering to eating was about ten minutes. If you find yourself in Rocky Mountain Airport, give this little place a try. I think you'll enjoy it as much as my wife and I did. read more

I've been wanting to try Blue Sky for such a long time. We finally made it in and stopped by for lunch. We split a chicken pesto sandwich. It was cheesy and comforting! It is an unassuming counter, and you can take your food and eat in one of the upstairs or downstairs dining areas, or sit outside. We sat outside and loved watching all of the planes take off & land...kept us enterained all afternoon. Will be back for breakfast and/or to check out their BBQ! read more

I hate to tell people about this place but it is such a cool venue to watch small planes land and take off. Food is solid. Order food and when ready they deliver to your table. Indoor and outdoor dining. read more

We enjoy sitting outside having breakfast and watching the panes! They have great sandwiches and cocktails as well! Staf is super friendly and the food is always delicious! read more

Cool, little spot! Great for a quick breakfast or lunch or, stay awhile and watch the planes and play corn hole! This is located in the lobby/terminal of the airport but it's open to the public. They offer breakfast sandwiches, bagels, burritos, french toast, fruit, yogurt. For lunch, they have sandwiches and bbq options. It's very clean and the employees were friendly. Blue sky Bistro is a counter order cafe. They will bring the food to you if you sit inside or outside. The patio is big and has beautiful views of the mountains. I love this local spot! read more

This is a little gem of a family owned bistro at the Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport, really good food and great service. Although I didn't have their BBQ, they smoke their own meats and will have to check it out next time. Also a cool place to watch all the small planes and mountain vistas. read more

This place was amazing! The staff was super friendly. The food was very good. The smoke their own brisket, and pork. Which was to die for! I got a grilled chicken cesar salad, the chicken was juicy and thin, and that salad was huge! And refreshing. They have outdoor seating which is basically right on the runway! We saw at least a dozen planes take off. Our children loved, but the noise was intense for them next I'll bring some ear plugs! (They are toddlers and tiny still.) Overall had a wonderful experience we will be returning. read more

I have been coming here for years since the cafe over Signature closed. I am so pleased they are extending their hours. A congenial group and great owners and helpers. Barbeque is super. read more

Casual breakfast lunch spot. Order at counter, they will bring ot to inside, second floor or outside while watching airplanes take off and land. Check out their BBQ. Fast a.d friendly. read more

Great service, delicious smoked brisket and pulled pork, & a nice selection of local beers. Awesome place to watch the planes. A hidden gem! read more

Buy lunch at Grocery Store and bring it here to picnic while watching planes land and take off Look, this is an office building sandwich stand. I had a horrible "Special of day" (drink was free) "Cajun Pork Poboy." Dried up deli slices of.....loin? inexpertly piled on a bun with enough flavorless mass of vegetables to keep the pork dried but make the bun soggy. Greasy French onion soup was a welcome accompaniment. It allowed me to be able to swallow the sandwich without choking. Extra star for location and friendly service. read more

I randomly chose this place as I am traveling through town and though a quick lunch was in order. Great sandwich that also came with a smile. Highly recommend and I will be back for the bbq next time! read more

During a long day of flying, this was a great spot for us to take a break and grab a bite to eat on their outdoor patio. The staff was very friendly, especially considering it's a counter you order from. They brought us our food, repeatedly checked on us, and took our trash when we finished. This was a surprise since we thought it was just a quick counter order/pickup type place. I ordered the Taxi Wade Turkey (hot) with coleslaw and I enjoyed it. The coleslaw was just average compared to others but it seemed homemade. My copilot ordered the Reuben with potato salad and coleslaw. He really enjoyed his sandwich as well. The portions were a great size for lunch and we left satisfied. They were very busy so it wasn't crazy fast but definitely wouldn't call it slow. Overall, great option for a bite when flying into BJC! read more

Great breakfast and lunch options. I really like the toasted breakfast sandwich. The bread tastes like French toast but is not. Inside is scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and choice of sausage, bacon, pulled pork. So good. Typically at Bkue Sky Tuesday mornings. Their BBQ that is served later in the week is killer and a find. Friendly fairly priced and amazing views of planes a the Flatirons. read more

At big airports, you never know what you might get when it comes to food. Will you be confined to overpriced Chili's? Or come across a great local spot that just happens to have an airport location? (I'm lookin' at you Root Down!) However, when it comes to small airports, you can almost always count on there being a cute little cafe with quality eats. Such is the case of Blue Sky Bistro at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. And no, you don't need a plane ticket to eat here! We walked up to the counter and I spotted a BBQ brisket sandwich as a special. SOLD. From there, we found a seat at one of the tables outside that offered a beautiful view of the front range and airplane runway. There weren't any planes taking off so it was rather quiet and one of those settings that reminds you why Colorado is simply the best. Our food came pretty quickly and I devoured by brisket sandwich! The meat was sandwiched between a soft hoagie roll that my fiancee couldn't stop talking about. On the side I got coleslaw which was pretty standard, and it also came with a refreshing slice of watermelon. All in all, an unexpected solid find in Broomfield. If you're looking for lunch in the area, definitely check this spot out! read more

Great lunch spot at the Rocky Mountain Airport. Let's all adjust our expectations accordingly -- this is a counter within the airport terminal with seating inside and outside on a patio. You'll order at a walk up counter where chances are a very friendly woman will take your special and make you smile - find seating wherever you want (gotta pick a patio table on a nice day) and they'll bring you your food. When we first walked in my dad laughed, saying I brought him to a cafeteria.... Basically that's what it is. Not a "bistro" per se. Now that we're all on the same page about what kind of location it is, I'll tell you the food is actually good! I was so skeptical when I walked in, but it was good, priced accordingly and you really can't beat the views. Great spot if you're in the area but don't go out of your way to eat here, it is a cafeteria after all! read more

This place is so good I am usually there at least once a week for breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend checking out out. Food is delicious, staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, and you get to watch airplanes and helicopters take off and land while you eat your delicious meal. read more

Charming locally owned and operated sandwich shop by the airport. The service is super friendly and the sandwiches are delicious! They are a great hidden gem! You can enjoy your breakfast or lunch whilst watching planes come and go! What a great view! Highly recommend! read more

A surprisingly great place for lunch. This place use to be very near work so I would go fairly often. Their specials are pretty good and the sandwiches are awesome. The view is what knocks it out of the park as you can see forever on this ridge. Try it and I believe you will pleasantly surprised as well. read more

Stopped in here for lunch with coworkers. It was ok but not sure what people are finding so good about it. Nothing special food wise, average airport find and the atmosphere was very cramped. read more

Sadly, I'm not sure why this place has good reviews. The service was excellent, the employees were very nice and personable, and the location and view are unique and beautiful. But, again sadly, the food is mediocre, relatively small portions, and expensive (my half sandwich and small soup cost over $11!). I plan to return to the airport for lunch but just bring my own next time. read more

I work on Airport Rd in Broomfield, and for a place in walking distance that has quality food with value, Blue Sky Bistro is a hit. They do a tasty and brisk breakfast, nice paninis for lunch and amazing slow smoked ribs Wednesday-Friday. On nice days you can sit outside and enjoy the private planes taking off against a mountain vista. The servers are friendly and make an effort to learn your name. It's rare in a suburb where you can have quality barbecue and walk it off all in under an hour. read more

Excellent option of you're waiting for passengers and don't have a lot of time. The breakfast burrito with green chili is the best. Loaded with egg, bacon, sausage AND ham. Super fast service with friendly, helpful people. Also a nice place to go plane spotting. Grab some food and sit outside. read more

This place is worthy of the reviews. Got a ruben and potato salad. Wife had "just a little brie" with green chile soup. Watched the planes land and takeoff. Great lunch spot. read more

I am a big fan of the 2 restaurants at the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport as I live and work nearby. Blue Sky Bistro has great BBQ on certain days towards the end of the week. The sandwiches are huge. The meat is smoked on the airport premises. read more

You wouldn't think that a little bistro in a tiny airport would be worth a damn but, in this case, you would be dead wrong. As per usual these days, we checked Yelp for a place to eat. I'd seen this one come up before and didn't try it based on the fact that it's located at the airport. It's worth every one of the five stars I've given it and the overall five stars it has earned at the time this review was written. We arrived at 12:30 and were served immediately. It's a counter service shop. The service was excellent. In fact, after we'd placed our order, one of the owners came to the counter to introduce herself and tell us a little bit about the place. She was very warm and sincere. It's hard to beat the view of the front range outside! I recommend eating outside where you can watch the planes come and go. It's occasionally noisy as a plane taxi's in but, it's also pretty damn cool. There was even a group of planes practicing maneuvers for an air show while we were enjoying our meal! Food... OMG!!! Sandwiches, fabulous, great tasting, generous portions, wow! The BBQ is really good! We also sampled the roast beef, the chicken pesto, and the chicken cordon bleu - all were really good! Stop in and try this place when you get a chance! You will not be disappointed! P.S. It's in the airport terminal on the west side of the roundabout. P.S.S. BBQ is only available on Wed and Fri. read more

I work nearby and discovered this place a few years ago when my company treated us to lunch. Since then, I have been here about 5-7 times - both dining in, to-go, and delivery. It's located inside the Metro Airport and has plenty of seating both inside and outside. You can watch the planes or simply enjoy the fresh air that the patio provides. It's worth noting they also sell breakfast, but I have only had lunch here. Usually I'll spend about $8 for lunch including a cookie (without a drink). My favorite thing on the menu is the club sandwich - their bacon is always crispy, which I love. I tend to be kind of picky, and they are always willing to substitute ingredients without any extra charge. Every sandwich comes with your choice of sides - chips, homemade potato salad (which I recommend), and a couple other choices. Plus, you get a pickle and a mint. The cookies, called Hope's Cookies, are baked fresh and come in two's, perfect for sharing or for a sweet snack. My favorite is the chocolate chip. They also offer homemade BBQ on Wednesdays & Fridays. A perfect example of their customer service: Last time I got my club sandwich, I added avocado (which is really guac), which is not included and therefore extra. When I got back to the office, I saw none on the sandwich. I called them back. Not only did they apologize but they offered to give me free guac when I came in next. That was months ago. When I walked in today, the cashier (and co-owner) recognized me and immediately said, "I owe you avocado!" It was great to feel appreciated. They also have a punch card available - come in 10 times and your 11th meal is free. The great thing about this is that I have lost or forgotten my card before and each time they are willing to start a new one for you and combine the card(s) you may have together. I highly recommend this place - it's local, the food is great, and it's something different from the big box restaurants around here. read more

The Blue Sky Bistro is one of my favorite things about working at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport! I eat lunch there at least twice a week. Their food is amazing and their service is top notch. They go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. I am a picky eater and they always accommodate special requests for my meals and deliver it quickly. We use Blue Sky Bistro for catering as well and they always provide the best food from snacks and appetizers to full meals and desserts. They never disappoint us! My favorite items are their bacon grilled cheeses and homemade cookies. I highly recommend Blue Sky Bistro for their quality food and excellent service! read more

Hello everyone. My name is Kelley. I make your sandwiches at Blue Sky Bistro. I heard through the grape vine that I needed to look at our ad on yelp. Wow! I am really feeling the love from these posts. I am sure that I speak for all of us at Blue Sky Bistro when I say...thank you. You motivate us to do our very best for you...always. We treat you like we would our own family and friends. Come see us, and let us show you what that is like. Barbeque Wednesday includes ribs, chicken and a hot or mild link with your choice of a side and a fountain drink. The barbeque sauce is homemade by Chef Dan, the owner. His rib rub is also homemade and hard for me to stay out of. I love it. On Thursdays, Dan usually has smoked meatball sandwiches, meatloaf sandwiches, smoked chicken salad sandwiches or something else equally delicious for his special...all smoked on Dan's awesome smoker on the patio. It is impressive. On Fridays, it will either be the Texas cheese steak or the Cuban. You can also get a pulled pork or brisket sandwich on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. These are becoming quite a big hit. You simply must come and experience it. Don't forget. Winter is coming up, and we always have good soups to warm the body up and put you back in your comfort zone for the day. Dan makes different kinds of soup throughout the winter. If you aren't sure if you will like it, we have no problem giving you a taster before you order. There is always his green chili that is to die for. Then there is the French onion soup made with croutons that Amanda is the master of. She is the one you will see more of. She can also make a masterpiece of a salad for you, too...not to mention her signature "Panda Wrap". Yum. (Courtney, we can also give you real avocado as long as they are in season instead of guacamole, if you like. Just specify which you want when you order next time. Sherise will make sure I get the right one for you. It is not a problem. We want you to be happy.) So, once again...thank you all. We feel like stars. We are feeling the love. Allow us to give it back by putting lots of love into your food. Have a great day, and I hope to see you soon. read more

As close to perfect lunch as you can get...at the small airport, we eat here once a week to get BBQ! They only have BBQ Wed-Fri, as they smoke it on Mon.and Tues. The brisket, ribs, hot link are all fantastic! And you have to get the homemade baked beans! Small mom and pop shop that will please any palette! Just go try it, trust me! read more

Went looking for a nearby spot to meet a friend for lunch. Found this gem with the help of Yelp. Husband had the bbq sandwich with green chile and I had the tuna with coleslaw. Both meals were excellent. My sandwich was huge and I ended up taking half home. Husband especially liked the green chile. Staff was super friendly. The meals came out promptly. We will definitely be back! read more

Such a cute bistro! Friendly. Good food. The view on the patio outside is awesome! you can watch the planes take off and land so close. read more

I am a little concerned about writing a 5 star review for Blue Sky Bistro, not because it doesn't deserve it but because it will draw in even bigger crowds. I can walk to the bistro from work and do for most days for lunch. I really like this place. The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. If you are in the area especially on a Wednesday stop by. Wednesdays they have a great BBQ special. read more

Thank you yelp, for showing me this gem. I went here while in town at a work conference at the Omni. Needless to say, I was quite surprised when we got to the airport that we had arrived at our destination. We went in and ordered. I opted for the BBQ Brisket sandwich. We then were told to take a seat wherever we wanted. We opted to sit outside, which was super cool since it was right on the tarmack. The staff was SUPER friendly, and very personable. The food came out pretty quick, even though they were pretty busy. The sandwich was good. Don't know if I'd call it "the best ever" being from Virginia..But it was definitely pretty good. It's awesome that they have a smoker there that they do their own stuff. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more
