    First and last stop in Denver! A one stop shop . My coffee was amazing and the service was fast!

    I was happy to find this food court at the Denver airport cell phone lot. It provided four restaurant options, plenty of seating, pleasant background music and large monitors showing arrival and departure times - nice! The current restaurant options are Schlotzsky's, Auntie Anne's, Dunkin' Donuts and Tia Mexican. Very nice!

    The correct place to wait before picking up guests from DIA, and not the shoulder leading to the airport. Restrooms, food, options, and both arrival and departure information on the displays. I ran a quick cellular speed test, and with 5G, I pulled over a gig download Speed.

    Name of the cell lot at DIA.

    Stopped here "Final Approach" in the cell phone lot to wait for our family to arrive. Went in to use the restrooms at 7:00pm. They said they were closed for cleaning, and not very nice I may add. So we went back to our car and at 8:50pm went back in before we went into the airport and....yea "restrooms still closed for cleaning and we are also closing the building". Very rude! We will never patronize this location ever again. We went over to the gas station, called Rocket and they were so darn. They also have a Wendy's and they were great too. Our advice.... NEVER GO TO "FINAL APPROACH, go to ROCKETS AND WENDY'S! PS. There are no hours posted on any of the doors! Over and out!

    Clean. Good place to wait for your guests. Restaurants have changed and there's no real fast food. If your looking for a quick snack, those places are gone. Mostly full meals starting at about $8 bucks. I even went to Wendy's across the way. No junior menu. Gas station has hot dogs. Yes, more upscale now with higher prices.

    I didn't know this place existed. I was referred by the airport website for simply a "Cell Phone Lot." Sounds good. Let me park here and wait for my boss to arrive. I looked around at this spacious parking lot under a crystal clear sky. I noticed there were a lot of older people. Ok, age is just a number, but elders know what the best is. That was why I felt at ease immediately. There's a gas station, which offers prices very comparable with most stations in town. So, no need to hunt for bargains before returning the rental car. Then, there were lots of eateries to choose from. I like the clean bathroom, children's area and free WiFi. Best of all, I was only 7 minutes away from the airport arrival area. When it's timed right, there would be no waiting from the moment he walked outside to getting on my car. Well, not quite. There was another story about picking up at DEN Denver International Airport.

    I have been at other cell phone waiting lots at other airports and this is the first one I have ever seen with a food court and restrooms for people to use. Other airports should definitely consider something like this! Especially larger hubs where people may be waiting a very long time! Great idea DIA! The only issue is the food choices are a little "blah". They have a Schlotzky's, Auntie Anne's pretzels, Tia's and Dunkin Donuts. I think there is also a Wendy's connected to the gas station next to the final approach building as well. Not great in the way of choices but could be worse. In any case it's nice to have a decent place to wait.

    Posted hours-

    Don't trust their posted hours! This place is Great in concept, a nice inviting place in which to wait for flights... but, that is not how it played out. I checked the hours ahead of time, which very clearly show "open until 10pm". Went in, got comfortable, started working on my computer. 15 mins later, the on duty supervisor "naraylia" (sp?) kicked everyone out at 8-with only 2 minutes warning, stating they were closing and turned the lights out as we were all still packing out things. That was it-she just kept telling everyone to "leave the building wr're closed", when it was questioned as to why they were closing when it very clearly stated they would be open until 10.

    New to the area and decided to try something new. Food had no flavor and tore my stomach up. Will never eat there again.

    Lots of stuff. Little more pricey, but a great lot with tons of parking, gas and food options. Clean bathrooms and eating areas.

    Pizza, Subway or Dunkin Donuts....meh. If you want quality food you'll have to drive elsewhere.

It was pretty packed. The place itself is incredible, definitely more of a "coolest mall I've ever been to" vibe than your typical mall. There are so many unique shops, from books to specialty stores, a liquor store, and even a lounge with a pool table. We tried Maria's Empanadas, which I've been wanting to try forever, and it definitely was everything I hoped it'd be. So many delicious varieties. Everything was fresh and delicious. I also had a watermelon drink and a pistachio cookie, and everything was perfect. We also had some smoked mac and cheese at the barbecue spot, it was okay, a little too peppery and not as fresh as I'd hoped, but overall the food experience was nice. Walking around and exploring all the different spots was a blast. We'll definitely be back!

    This unique spot blends history with modern charm. The old structure is filled with a wide variety…read moreof shops--everything from clothing and natural products to candy stores, ice cream shops, and multicultural restaurants and bars. Families will appreciate the large play area for kids, making it a fun outing for everyone. As you explore the hallways, you'll also find plenty of information about Stanley and his contributions, adding a meaningful touch to the experience. Plus, there's free parking available, so you can relax and enjoy your visit without any hassle. Prices are elevated in some food shops and apparel stores.

Plenty of parking in back (there's also a door there). The whole thing very much felt like eating while traveling abroad. Nifty place. We'll be back.

This is a great option for a meal before a show in the Arts District. Folks can show up at their leisure and there are great food options like Hatian, Syrian, Indian & Sudaneese. There are tables in a big common area where you can eat. We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch before a show at Vintage Theater. Most of the food court restaurants are closed or close early on Sundays. But, there were a couple of great options still open. I grabbed Ethiopian at Natoli and my partner got Asian Fusion at Urban Burma. The Konta FirFir was awesome and a huge portion, easily big enough for 2. Pro Tip: You can only enter from the South side of the building, away from Colfax.

Saw that there was one on the path to the Denver airport. I could gas up the rental car and get some chow before entering the land of over priced airport food. Look the service was fine and the food was ok. But there was nothing special about the chicken fingers or the fries, or the sauce for that matter. The tenders were lacking in any real flavor on their own. They need some spice. Same with the crinkle fries. As a delivery mechanism for the Outback Bloomin Onion style sauce thats about all you could say for the main dish and side. But I didn't even use all the sauce, so paying extra for more is right out. I found it interesting that you need to ask at the counter, and get a code, to use the restroom. It looked like a nice enough area, but obviously there must be a reason for it. We're due to get some of these restaurants near me, but I don't have any reason to go back. Chick-Fil-A, KFC, Popeyes, or Savvy Sliders all offer vastly better product. This is a 3 not because of anything bad. Just wasn't anything better than 2.5 average.
