We ate at the Cherry Cricket on Monday on a non Rockies home game, so the place wasn't to busy. We sat at the tables by the bar and the first thing everyone who got sat up there the floor was so sticky. Not sure if was dirty or that's just how it is even after cleaning it, but was a little disturbing. Service was great. We were waiting on our friends so they wanted to make sure while we were waiting for them we didn't want to place any appetizers etc. The burgers were cooked to our liking and love their onion rings. Will go back and try their Ruben next time. read more

Absolutely must try, all of their burgers are phenomenal. Tried the 303 today, life changing. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! Tried to sit in a section, told there "wasn't a server". Ok, moved to another section with guests at tables, again told "there wasn't a sever for this section." Mind you, each of these areas are within a few feet of one another and the rest of the restaurant. Restaurant lost $200, and the server who couldn't walk 5-feet lost $50. Tried to talk the manager and he said, "what's the problem? They told you we don't have servers and walked away!?" Place was fully staffed. Servers everywhere. Friday evening. We get that places are short staffed and we have no problem with waiting, but to tell us flat out it's not a available while other people are sitting there is ridiculous. Good job Cherry Cricket. Never again! Also, we're traveling and this was our worst experience in Denver!! We will make sure to let everyone know that Cherry Cricket prefers to turn business away and to avoid while coming to Denver. read more

Went to celebrate my son's birthday after the Rockies game. This location although noisy, did not disappoint. Food was fresh and delicious.

Cherry Cricket - Downtown - Cricket Reuben Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Cherry Cricket is a Denver institution with iconic burgers in a casual sports bar setting. One award-winning creation was the 303 Green Chile Relleno Burger, made with a burger patty topped with melted white cheddar, pork green chili (a stew of lean pork chunks and peppers), and a chile relleno, which was actually a fried rectangular croquette made of white cheese and chopped green chilies (rather than a traditional stuffed pepper). For my burger patty, I chose the lean and meaty Colorado bison. As you can imagine, it was impossible to eat this monstrosity like a traditional burger, especially since the pork green chili weighed down the bottom bun, making it soggy. My favorite part of this burger was definitely the chile relleno, which had a crispy exterior and a salty, chewy, cheesy interior. However, everything else about the burger was average, and it took quite a while to be prepared. read more

Food was very good and Cesar&Sapphire were very nice and welcoming! Definitely recommend

Take out orders: I live close by and love the food. I think they are incapable of taking an order and getting it right. Whether it's substituting fried chicken for grilled chicken, adding bacon to a burger, or just always adding cheese when asked no cheese. I still attend frequently because the food is good and the people are nice but they only get the order right 2/10 times read more

Parking can be hassle with 2 hour meters but the burgers make me comeback often. "Delicious Denver food tours" also makes a stop here and I saw the pork Green Chile served to them. CC often wins the annual Denver Burger Battle held in August. 2022 people choice winner: 983 Big Cheesy read more

Was visiting Denver and decided to stop here before a Rockies game. We were seated right away, and our waiter was very nice. Food came out quickly and was SO GOOD. We got 2 burgers, tater tots, and angry Mac and cheese and each one was better than the last!!! The place itself is cute with some arcade games in the back. Overall a great experience, and will be sure to come back next time I'm in denver! read more

This is a nice place to eat when visiting Downtown Denver. Came here with coworkers just for good food and drinks. This restaurant is really nice because it can accommodate large parties, there's a bar area and an arcade area for adults. I did the build your burger option on the menu. I had a bison burger, which was really good, but I did not like pricing of the food. The entire menu is Al la carte, which adds up really fast. However, I was not a fan of the steak fries, I felt like they were just undercooked potato wedges. We also got pretzel bites for an appetizer. Our server was really good and attentive! I'm not sure if I would visit this restaurant again, but I think it's a good place for a first time visitor to the area. read more

Best green chili. We live in the Green Valley Ranch sub- division. So, we have to travel to get to either Cherry Creek or the new location in Broomfield. We, support Both locations. Because, of the green chilli. read more

Great environment to pop in and grab lunch or a dinner. Casual environment with a large dining space. Bar is great for hanging out or watching spirts. Staff has always been good, with the exception of a couple waiters over the years. What gets me is that everyone raves about their burgers. Always see the "best burger in Denver". I feel like over the years they have stopped focusing on their burgers. Last few times, my burger has been dry. Instead of addressing the burger, they seem to find more and more crazy combinations of toppings, while the burger patty itself suffers. When I first moved here, I was a big fan of the burger of the month, but now they seem to come up with total gimmicks with chips. Either that or a total stoner is pitching ideas that are total dudes. Come in for a drink and the atmosphere. Maybe skip the burger. read more

Gabe was phenomenal! My husband and I came down for the Sunday football games and spent about 6 hours being served by him.

Delicious food and drinks and great service! read more

I grew up in Colorado and have such fond memories of downtown Denver. Downtown used to be such a special place where you could go to a baseball game then enjoy the rest of the evening at one of the many restaurants. After last night's Rockies game we decided to stop by the Cherry Cricket (Old Breck on Blake location). The four of us went up to the bar and ordered four beers with waters. Yes, we actually all ordered water with our beers. Anyway, when we went to order our second beer the bartender said just so you know this will be your last one. We all looked at him completely dumbfounded. We were being cutoff after two beers with a water on the side. We're all in our late forties and not one of us was drunk. We talked to the manager who agreed we were not drunk but said he had no choice but to support the decision of his bartender. It turns out the other female bartender who served the first round made the decision to cut us off after two beers. I'm 49 and this is the first time being cut off at a bar. The bar was not even close to being full which is insane because both the Rockies and Broncos had games. I really miss the old lodo but sadly won't be back. Experiences like this remind me why downtown Denver is such a sad place. I really have no idea why we were cut off other than maybe we were older than the clientele she wanted at the bar. I hope the owners of Cherry Cricket read this and she gets fired. It's a nice restaurant and they have a very bad and unhappy employee. She will continue to treat their customers this way unless they do something. Clearly we didn't leave a tip on the four drinks. read more

Lunch review. We had a great experience here. We arrived right at opening and sat at the bar (hence the empty looking photos-it filled up QUICKLY). Barbara was our bartender and was welcoming and extremely efficient. Props to her for elevating our experience. I got the Jammin Poblano Burger, and the wife got the Burger of the Month bowl style. They have a list of burgers that have won awards, both local and regional. Both dishes were solid. Hot sauce already on the bar, a great aioli for fries dipping, Wide array of choices for beers, and I went from the IPA to a Banquet. All folks are happy. They had Black Cherry White Claw, so happy wife, happy life. The Ballpark location is right around all sorts of stuff, so it is a good starting or ending point. Or middle. Fairly priced considering you are downtown. Cool aquarium on the restaurant floor. I love burgers. Just be aware that their burgers are HUGE. The awards are won for taste, but probably also for the extremely creative toppings they mix and match. Very impressive. I prefer the simple approach for my burgers, but I realize I am in the minority. But, the place is sort on all top burger lists in Denver, so it kind is something you need to check off regardless of your preferred style. I give it a four for now, as I need a few more trips to officially prop it up to a five. But, I definitely recommend, and see you there. read more

Came here for dinner on the 4th of July (very grateful they were open) after reading that this was one of the 'must eat' places in Denver. Everything on the menu looked amazing, and seeing the orders on the other tables nearby got me drooling haha. I do low carb for dinner so I picked the Bison Burger - no bun - with Garlic Aioli and Green Chile; And a salad on the side. The combination of the burger patty + aioli + green chile was surprisingly really good! I can only imagine how much better it would have been in an actual burger with the bun! (The patty was just normal by itself, but on a whole other level with the extras). Would really recommend that aioli by itself too! My friend got the bison burger with the Chipotle Aioli and Jalapenos and said it tasted good too. The side salad was nice as well - simple, but fresh. read more

On February 1st, I suggested to my friend from our of town to go to the Cherry Cricket, right across the street from where we live. Surprisingly there were not busy, but there were no major games going on, so we were seated right away, even asked if we prefer a low or high table. Scott was our server and was very patient with us, as the menu we found was quite extensive and it was hard to make up our minds. He suggested the fish and chips, after I mentioned that I liked the fish sandwich....it wasn't even on the menu, but I ordered it per his recommendation. Scott kept our drinks flowing and was attentive to our needs, in addition to being a good conversationalist. Our food was delivered by the Manager, Cesar Garcia....at the time we didn't know. We just thought he was the "guy that brings out the food". He was also very attentive to anything we needed that we didn't have. Our conversation developed into travel and food and it was great. We truly felt right at home, and wondered why we don't come here more often, it's across the street! Well, that will have to change. In fact, feeling at home was really the main reason I will go back. Not to mention that the food was excellent. This is the sign of a great manager..one that does work, and doesn't just stand around and tell everyone else what to do. One that makes their guests feel special and like guests. One that makes patrons feel welcome, not just coming for the food, but for the whole experience. I had the fish and chips, not on the menu, but excellent portion of fish, crisp and moist with steak fries. My husband had the award winning 720 poblano burger. He loved this combination. My friend had the Grande Burrito, which she said initially that she wouldn't be able to finish it, and her adult son had the Cricket Burger with a side of frings to share. We didn't just have dinner out....it was an experience...talking with Cesar, and Scott (as well as seeing the respect the two had for each other's work), was what made this dinner memorable. read more

Best burger ever!! We ordered the Cry baby and the cricket royal. Both were amazing and will put any other burger place to shame.

The ambience is chill, the waitor Christian was personable, recommended both of the ordered burgers, and provided suggestions for in things to do around the area.

Before the Colorado Rockies game started; my brother, dad, and I were up for the Double Hitter of a winning Major League Baseball game followed by a winning dinner that would knock our taste buds out of the park. Up in Coor's Field, my brother executed some restaurant investigation that probed the award-winning Cherry Cricket. This is a restaurant that is well-known for their hamburgers. Readers voted their hamburger "People's Choice 2021" in the "Denver Burger Battle" and they voted it "Best Burger Top of the Town  5280 Reader's Choice." We were up to giving the place a try. But, where was it? Fortunately for us, it was right across from Coor's Field on Blake Street.   Cherry Cricket has a stellar reputation that dates back to 1945 when they opened in Cherry Creek. As restaurant lore has it, they earned this reputation as the "black sheep of Cherry Creek" on account of its low key rowdy ambiance. To this very day they are still in Cherry Creek. And their popularity and reputation is still going strong. They gained such a stellar reputation that they opened their second location which is known as Cherry Cricket-Ballpark. This is where we had our post Colorado Rockies game dinner.     As soon as the game ended the crowds of baseball fans left Coor's Field for the local streets. They were so busy that the Denver Police controlled the traffic. Several of the baseball fans headed to the local restaurants and bars. We were three of them.    My impression of Cherry Cricket-Ballpark is that it is an interesting establishment to dine in. The exterior seems to be a preserved Lower Downtown Denver Building that looks identical to the days of the Gold Rush. Inside it seems to be a local hangout bar and grill that would be at home near a university. The crowd appeared to be both locals and baseball fans. Blending in with this local hangout spot atmosphere were some modern touches. Many of the people that have ate here would probably agree with me that the large fish tank is the focal spot of the place. When we walked in, this was the first thing that caught my eye. Throughout the meal, I would see it from our table towards the back. It added an eatertainment aspect to the place where fish would swim over and around a fake cricket burger. In my opinion what makes the fish tank so visually appealing is the way the blue differentiates from the interior colors. However, it was burgers instead of fish that brought us here.     When we walked in, I noticed that they seemed to do both tremendous take out and dine in business. We were dine-in customers. The Hostess immediately walked us to our table towards the back.    Cherry Cricket-Ballpark is a full-service restaurant. After our server placed the two-page menu on the table, there were decisions to be made. Those decisions were not what to order but what type of burger to order. The way it works here is that you order the size and style of burger you want. Next you order from choices of 38 toppings. And finally you pick the side. Many of the reviewers who have raved about the place give it high grades on the toppings choices. In my case I ordered the half pound cricket burger ($11). It came with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. I added smoked cheddar cheese ($1.50) and grilled onions ($1). For the side, I added a half portion of steak fries ($3.50). As far as beverage, I passed over an adult beverage from the bar for a bottomless cola.     Was my burger one of the Best Burgers in Denver and the State of Colorado?  And, Was it worthy of the Number One Burger in Denver on some reader's polls? My answer is that I would have to ate hamburgers in several Denver restaurants to answer that question. What I can say is that this burger was 4-Star delicious and filling. Ditto for the steak fries. I will go on to say that if I lived in Denver there would be a very highly likely chance of a return visit. read more

This place gets so busy before games but we were lucky enough to snag bar seats after a couple left! Love that you can make your own burger with lots of sizes and toppings options! The fried Mac n cheese is legit my favorite thing on the menu and I crave it regularly!! read more

Good for , cold beers and a shot of something that tastes like a shake! Patio is huge and socially distant tables inside! read more
