Found myself eating at BriDer not once but twice during my most recent business trip to Denver. Perhaps it being in close proximity to the office has a bit to do with this but also because it's really good and hits the spot. Over the span of my visits, I had the chicken banh mi and a salad with chicken. The banh mi, although not very authentic, was a hearty packed sandwich that encompassed a flavorful aioli and crunchy veggies. The chicken salad was packed with fresh toppings and juicy chicken (quite the opposite of those skimpy side salads some restaurants serve). I appreciate the straight and to the point menu, not much gimmick, just select categories and a couple options. The team members were friendly, the establishment is clean and well maintained, and ingredients taste fresh. I'd recommend BriDer to anyone and especially to those looking for some healthier options. read more

Brider - Banh Mi with side salad - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A classic spot in Denver! Staff is super kind. The space is huge so you won't have issues with finding a seat usually. Note that this review is about lunch. The sandwiches and salads are a classic. Super delicious and you can't go wrong with any of them. I really like the Banh Mi sandwich, Porchetta sandwich, and the caesar/brussel sprout salad. Then you have the classic Brider cookie. Touted as the best cookie in Denver/Colorado. The only reason why it's not 5 stars is because sometimes the order would take a while. I know there are a lot of factors for order time, but I would still highly recommend Brider to anyone in Denver! read more

This is a nice spot to grab some really great food or appetizers and chug it down with a delicious homemade ginger beer. Our waitress was sweet to provide my cousins dog with water and some chicken breast complimentary. They also provided my cousin with fresh ginger beer to go since she hadn't finish her drink. Clean dining area, pleasant and customary staff and good food. read more

Went with girlfriends for hh and it had some great deals! The brussel sprouts were so good off the hh menu. The curry was flavorful but the portion was HUGE! It was essentially 3 meals!

This was our second time coming here and it was as delicious as the first time. Any questions about the menu were easily answered by the staff, who were happy to make substitutions. One person got the salad with chicken, one the chicken and pesto sandwich, and I got the rotisserie chicken with double mac n cheese. We all had leftovers, we all liked our meal. The macaroni and cheese is, for me, something I could eat endlessly- something that I had to push away lest I hate myself later. We also had their "famous" cookies- good, but I just can't compare it with the rest of the meal. The location was great, there were about a dozen shops I wanted to stop to look at. The atmosphere was light and breezy, the drinks were good, and it was the perfect place to go right after Meow Wolf. I hopefully will return! read more

This place is such a gem!! It's a casual spot, but they focus on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Our group ordered several things and everyone enjoyed their meal! Standouts were the mac & cheese, sweet potato fries, chicken & pesto sandwich, and wagyu french dip. Lastly, you MUST try their chocolate chip cookie!!! We ended up going back to get more, because it was amazing. Will definitely be back when I'm in town. read more

What a fantastic lunch this was at Brider! Love the environment and the dedication to scratch made, fresh food, at a very reasonable price. They have options running the gamut from super healthy to indulgent. Speaking of indulgent, they have a sign that Yelp named them the top chocolate chip cookie in all of Denver. While I am not from Denver, and haven't had lots of chocolate chip cookies there for sure, I can absolutely say this one was one of the best I've had in my life. So, it surely has to be up there. My meal at Brider consisted of their french dip sandwich, and a side salad (which was very well done, lots of fun ingredients), which the owner highlighted as one of his favorites. The french dip was a really big sandwich. The bread was excellent, the meat juicy and plentiful, and of course the dipping gravy just gives it that savory pop. I was tempted here by so many excellent options on the menu, so I would probably try something else next time but... first timers, this would be a great choice for you. I loved Denver, and can't wait to visit again. When I do, another lunch at Brider is probably on deck! read more

At first when we arrived, my husband was disappointed because he thought it was going to be a bunk dining experience. However, we ordered the charred sesame brussels sprouts, which were a definite yes after, do get them!

Stopped in for a Friday happy hour. The happy hour menu is solid - $6 cocktails and $5-$7 snacks? Excellent. The bees knees was my drink of choice that night, and it was well made without being overly sweet. The sweet potato fries and Brussels were a perfect happy hour snack and appetizer. The service was a bit spotty - sometimes right there but sometimes we had to call them over to order more or ask for our check. Overall a good happy hour spot though. read more

Stopped in for happy hour on my recent trip to Denver. They offer happy hour M-F from 3-6pm and have various deals on food and drinks. I selected the falafel pita, Brussels sprouts, and a mule. They make their ginger beer in house so I was excited to try one of their mules. Everything was fresh. I really enjoyed the Brussel sprouts. They were well seasoned and crispy. I appreciated the fact that they weren't soaked in a sauce. Oh! If you check in, you get a free cookie!! Apparently they are well known for their cookies too. And I now see why. It's a chocolate and white chocolate chip cookie. My first time trying it and I can see why it's so popular. It's delicious! The vibe is very chill and they have indoor and covered outdoor seating. It's located in downtown Denver so I can imagine parking may become challenging. Otherwise, it's worth checking out! read more

We have never tried Brider before today. We were meeting up with some friends and our puppy at Denver Beer Co across the street. It was mid-afternoon, and we decided to try Brider, seeing as it was so close. Not only was the food delicious, plentiful, and super fast, but we also had such great service! Our server was better than some of the high-end places we had recently visited. She was attentive, kind, and upbeat. I believe her name was Gage? (something like that at least) Hopefully, I heard her correctly. In any case, she made our experience so enjoyable! We will definitely be back for sure! p.s. the sweet potato fries are so amazing! I don't even like sweet potato but one of my friends insisted I try them. So happy I did! read more

Ate here 2 months ago and was great! Wow what a terrible difference. Prices went up it seems, 9 dollars for a fountain drink, 17$ for a chicken sandwich and lays chips. Not only that but my chicken sandwich was now smaller and dry, with no taste. I told one of the employees and they just shrugged and said sorry... won't be back read more

Finally got to try this place out. I work down the street and it is delicious! There were multiple items I wanted to try from breakfast foods like juevos rancheros to chicken and meatball sandwiches. I went with the meatball sandwich and it was so good! The service was fairly quick, the place was clean, and they have Gatorade in a can. Can't wait to go back! read more

My #ThankYouThursday goes to Brider! #1, They have a grrreat happy hour! There are reduced-price food items and drink specials ranging from $4 to $7. #2, the service has always been excellent when I've gone. People seem pretty happy to be working there and that does a lot when they're in the customer service business! Happy workers often lead to happy customers, I think! One time when I was there I was telling the bartender I wanted something to eat but not heavy or fried. He suggested the chicken and veggies on the kid's menu. I said "I can get that?" He said I could, that it wasn't a big deal that I wasn't a kid and he put my needs over the technicalities. It was super good and just the right light meal I was looking for. Stuff like that goes a long way, it's really not always that hard to please people and when I was a server I thought of it that way, too. If I can do it, I will, so I can make people happy with their experience and have nothing but a good time. The space is very open and there are some tables on the patio when Denver weather permits. Across the street is Denver Beer Co. as well as several other establishments in the area. It's a cool neighborhood. If I didn't live on the other end of downtown, I'd be here a lot more often!! read more

Overall, this place had a great location, seating area and menu. The chicken sandwich was very good, however it was pretty light on the chicken. The meat on the sandwich was also pretty dry, as if it had been sitting out for a while. The salad had a similar vibe, being very light on the avocado. The dressing was very spicy, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. Service was quick and friendly. I will have to give this place another shot. read more

Brider - Chicken and Pesto Sandwich, and Sweet Potato & Avocado Salad - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Chocolate chip cookie is to die for! They've cracked the code. Sandwich was delightful and perfectly prepared.

Torn between 3 and 4 stars. My son (14) said 6/10. So I guess that's equal to 3/5. I liked it a little better than that. We tried the Nashville hot, banh mi and then for sides we upgraded to the sweet potato salad and kale and apple. It was $3 to do the upgrade from the potato chips that normally come with. A bit steep for a sandwich and salad ($18). Anyway...the banh mi had great flavor. The bread was soooo good! The only complaint is that it really like a lot of chicken. More bites lacked chicken than had it. My son felt the same about his sandwich. Too much bread to chicken ratio. My apple kale salad was apple and spinach. I don't know if they ran out of kale or what the situation was because they didn't say anything. I noticed a few bites in that it was supposed to be kale. I would have said something but I'd had a few bites before I remembered. I would have preferred kale. The sweet potato salad was really tasty but it's not a traditional salad with a lettuce base. I liked it but my son (who ordered it) felt like it was ingredients that would go in a salad, but he was wanting lettuce with it. I didn't mind because then I got to eat some! I brought the Rey home and will make a salad out of it with some greens. The staff were super friendly. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free cookie. It was also just okay. Super buttery and almost too many Choc chips - I can't believe I even wrote that!! I definitely think they are not made from scratch in house. read more

I was on a mission to get a tasty sandwich for lunch and wanted to avoid the common sandwich chains. Brider popped up on Yelp and I had no idea they did sandwiches! I was intrigued by the rotisserie chicken banh mi...a little critical of the high price point, but I was so hungry that I just went for it. For $16 , plus the usual battle for parking on Platte St., I needed this sandwich to be something truly incredible. And let me tell you, it absolutely was. Every ingredient rocked. Uber flavor and juicy rotisserie chicken, fresh bread, a tangy slaw, wow wow. Half of the sandwich would have been plenty for lunch, but I loved it too much to risk saving the other half and it getting soggy, so I took one for the team and pushed through to finish it. Now the cookie (free w Yelp check-in!). If you're a cookie person, you need to try this cookie. I had low expectations since I'm not a white chocolate fan, but it was genuinely one of the best cookies I've ever had. And also huge. If I could only eat one cookie for the rest of my life, Brider's cookie is a strong contender. Not a cheap meal for the fast casual feel, but certainly a tasty one! read more

The Scarlet Vetter says....This place was suggested by our Foodie Tour Guide as the place for chicken. The facility is bright and airy with ample seating. Located in the beginning of the Lo Hi neighborhood, the moment you walk in the aroma is tantilizing. The Moscow Mules were fabulous with locally distilled vodka and homemade brewed Ginger Beer made on site. We ate family style starting with the restaurant's famous "as reported in the New York Times" Kale Apple Salad. Chock full of candied almonds and great greens with a lovely dressing, the salad was really delicious. Next were wings with special sauce and fresh cilantro. Crispy outside, succulent inside. I am from Buffalo the original home of wings, and Buffalo has nothing like this in flavor! There is a upper scale Brider restaurant and this eatery takeout place. The meal was topped off with Colorado's best chocolate cookie! Yum. read more

Wow! This place knows what's up. The menu isn't overcomplicated & the food speaks for itself. You simply must get the chicken - it's the best in town. Came in and split the half rotisserie with sweet potato fries and instantly fell in love. The chicken here is SO juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were the perfect side and came with the most insane cilantro jalepeno dipping sauce that had us hooked. Great location and love the outdoor patio option. Food came out fast and was seriously so good we can't stop telling everyone about it. Unfortunately didn't snap a photo before digging in but it looked just as good as it tasted. I can't wait to come back to try the chicken bahn mi or one of their salads they looked awesome! read more

One of my new favorite spots for lunch! Sandwiches are packed with flavor and good size. Highly recommend the banh mi, French dip, or Cajun shrimp but from talking with others I don't think you can go wrong. They are also known for their rotisserie chicken but haven't tried that yet. Great location, tons of indoor and outdoor seating and happy hour specials. Check it out! read more

Great happy hour deals! 3-6 PM! I liked their sweet potato fries, Brussel sprouts, and the margarita. Ps if you check in on Yelp, you can claim a free cookie read more

Hands down, best wings I've ever had. I think they were a special because I didn't see them on the menu. Perhaps this was one of those unicorn moments I'll never get to experience again, but I'm grateful those tasty morsels ended up in front of me. If you get to experience the wings, just do it and don't think twice. This is a super casual, incredibly delicious lunch spot. I had the Wagyu French Dip and a side salad with a glass of rosé. I opted to eat every bite even though I was full because it was just that good. We were able to snag a table on the patio which made it even that much better. This is a seat yourself establishment and they had plenty of room for big parties (8-10 is ideal but you could probably get away with 15+ if it's not super busy). Plenty of paid parking lots both covered and not if you can't find street parking or plan to be in the area for longer than 2 hours. This part of town deserves to be explored, but first, fill up on some tasty BriDer before galavanting through The Highlands and downtown. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Every time I eat here I am reminded how FANTASTIC Brider truly is. The fast-casual rotisserie restaurant deserves every ounce of praise. Mainly because the execution of the food is picture perfect. Every single time. Who grew up going to Boston Market? I sure did. It was always a treat when my grandparents took me there. If you thought that rotisserie chicken was good (it probably wasn't looking back) you need, NEED, to check out what's going on in Brider's kitchen. During the pandemic we ordered from them about a half dozen times. Even taking advantage of the outdoor patio twice. Right off Platte St. in LoHi it's a wonderful place to dine on a nice day. Anywho, last night post workout I placed a pickup order on DoorDash. I ordered the 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken w/ Brussels and a side of Mac. Now, I find myself ordering the sandwiches from Brider more frequently because of how damn tasty they are. But wow. WOW. The herb-rubbed rotisserie chicken is phenomenal. Juicy, moist and fall off the bone tender. I went full caveman and pulled the whole bird apart with my bare hands, burning them. Sweet Mother of Moses, I was in rotisserie utopia. The Brussels are some of the best in the whole city. And the Mac was creamy and delicious. Take advantage of the Yelp check in offer for the free Chocolate Chip Cookie! You'll be surprised how good they are. A+ from me. Consistency is the most important thing when it comes to a restaurant's success. Brider is an exemplary example of how operate day in and day out! read more

One of the top 5 "sandwich shops" in Denver for sure. Calling it that isn't meant to be an insult to this high-end chef-driven restaurant but really that's what it is. Unlike other competitor sandwich or deli operations that use mass-produced bread and wholesale purveyed meats, Brider either does it in house or uses local small scale providers for its ingredients. And the difference matters. Had the Bahn Mi Chicken today and once you bite into the focaccia-bunned freshly roasted chicken garnished with truly fresh vegetables your mouth knows it's in for a treat. The only reason its not up to the other 5 star such places I've experienced? The bahn mi needed to have a more powerful corresponding pickle punch to off-set the traditional oil-based dressing on the sandwich. And the accompanying potato chips--while clearly locally produced (?)--lacked any real potato flavor like you taste in some of the better small batch chips these days. But those minors criticisms aside, I'm still a great fan of Chef Steve Redzikowski who's made a real difference in Denver-area dining with Oak at 14th (and Acorn before it closed last fall because of C-19) and now for the last 5 years or so at Brider's. So if you haven't tried it yet you really need to head on down to the South Platte Confluence Park area. You'll be surprised at the difference between what's offered there as opposed to what you end up paying almost as much for at your neighborhood sandwich shop. You take care now, David "That'll be to go" M. read more

Brider - So good I ate 1/2 of it before I remembered to take a pic. :-0 - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Went here for dinner last week with a friend. When I first arrived I let them know I was waiting for someone. She showed up a few minutes later. We then waited over 10 minutes for someone to seat us. All the seats outside were taken so we sat inside. There were a few other tables seated as well as people at the bar, so it was not super busy. The positives: The food was really good. I have been here for happy hour before, but had not got the chicken. We ordered a 1/2 chicken with Brussels sprouts, side of sweet potato fries and the couscous salad. It tasted great and we really enjoyed it. The negative: The service. Our server came to the table right away before we even had time to look at the menu. They came back a few minutes later and we ordered some drinks, but weren't ready to order food yet and asked for a little more time. Our drinks arrived quickly. After receiving our drinks our server never came back again to take our food order even though we told her we planned on ordering food. We waited 25 minutes and weren't having any luck flagging anyone down, so we ended having to go up to the bartender and ask for someone to take our food order. We ordered our food about 20 minutes before they closed. By the time we got our food it was 7:55pm and they close at 8:00pm. It was very apparent the staff wasn't super happy as they put the chairs on tables all around us. We felt pretty pressured to finish up and leave. I get that we were there after closing, but if they would have seated us when we arrived and taken our food order in a timely manner we would have been out of there before 8:00pm. I will probably be back for happy hour, but likely not for a sit down meals. read more
