Review: 5/5 Stars - A Lakewood Gem! If you are remotely close to Lakewood, you need to go to Manning's Steaks and Spirits. The atmosphere is fantastic--sophisticated yet incredibly welcoming--but the food and service are what truly set this place apart. Our server, Shannon, was absolute perfection. She was over the top with her kindness and went out of her way to make sure every accommodation was met. Service like hers is rare and made the night feel truly special. The Food: * The Steaks: We had the Filet Mignon (served over savory mushrooms) and the Bone-In Ribeye. Both were cooked to a flawless sear, incredibly tender, and topped with a rich compound butter that took them to the next level. * The Sides: You have to try the Jalapeño Creamed Corn. It's velvety, sweet, and has the perfect hint of heat. We also loved the fresh shrimp and balsamic-glazed avocado salad. * Dessert: We finished with the Strawberry Cheesecake on a chocolate crust. It was the perfect, decadent end to a beyond-delicious meal. Between the world-class steaks and the legendary hospitality from Shannon, Manning's is a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

Very large restaurant. Tiny parking lot but can park in the neighborhood streets. Old school bar restarurant vibe. Ribeye- very small. Asked for medium rare- it was burnt/black on the outside and completely tasteless on the inside. It was super oily as well and lots of fat on it. The side of cheesy potatoes was drenched in oil- my partner didn't even finish it. Steak Bachemel sandwich was tasty but very messy. The fries were over fried so unenjoyable. Service was extremely slow even though they weren't busy. We waited around after we finished eating- for 15 minutes until I gave up and went and asked someone to ask our server for the check. I remember eating here once before many years ago but I forgot to review. I did remember it was about the same quality of food and service. Now I am documenting it and reminding my future self (and others?) to not come back! read more

Rare Finds and Well-Done Service: The Denver Hospitality Standard On my first visit to Denver, my local friends--who take hospitality very seriously--insisted we dine at Manning's. After experiencing it firsthand, I can see why it's a staple in their rotation. The Atmosphere We arrived for our 7 PM reservation to a restaurant that was absolutely buzzing. Every table was full, and the energy was electric from the moment we stepped through the doors. Despite how busy it was, we were seated promptly and the service remained attentive and seamless throughout the evening. The Main Event As someone who is incredibly particular about how my steak is prepared, I was thrilled with the execution here. The Steak: Cooked to absolute perfection. It is rare to find a chef who hits the mark so precisely without overcooking, but Manning's delivered. The Sides: The mashed potatoes and gravy were the perfect comfort pairing, but the real surprise was the asparagus. Shared with the table, it arrived with a vibrant bright green color and that elusive, perfect crisp-tender snap. The Verdict Whether you are a local who hasn't made it in yet or a visitor looking for a quintessential Denver steakhouse experience, Manning's is a must-visit. The combination of high-energy ambiance and technical culinary skill makes it a standout. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to the Mile High City! read more

Izzy you are great, very attentive. Checked on us several times. She gave us several recommendations all the way from the wines to the desserts. Can't be more happy with the service. The food was absolutely divine. The portions are so big, we split, a bowl of their onion soup, a new york strip steak, cooked medium, it was cooked to perfection. Baked potato. fully loaded, oh the cheese yum, a cob salad with avocado that was perfectly ripe, a hard boiled egg. The greens were bite size. The whole experience was excellent. To top it off a lemon chiefan pie. Ohh, my word, I should have started with that one first. This is one of our go to restaurants. It's close to our house, and everyone is so friendly. Thanks to Izzi for making this one of the best experiences that we've had at Manning's steakhouse. read more

I usually give mannnings a higher score. I enjoy Lunch and dinner there. But today we decided to try their brunch only there second week. A large party arrived before us and that was it. We were excited that they were going to have a mimosa flight which the manager told us last week. The flight was an expensive bottle of champagne and some juice that is not a flight But the worse was when our food finally arrive the food was cold not warm but cold it had been ready for a bit. I noticed our waiter nick also seemed to be the bartender which is maybe why he wasn't aware our food was ready. They also didn't seen to know their breakfast menu. There are a few things to work out read more

In town for a wedding and decided to try Manning's and we're so glad we did. Despite being busy, it didn't feel too loud and conversation was easy to have. Our party included two kids who take dining seriously and our waitress Haley was so helpful and accommodating. From the spinach and artichoke dip to the scallops to the rib eye and chocolate creme brulee, the food was fantastic! Definitely worth the stop if you are in the Denver/Red Rocks area. Make a reservation. read more

We went to Manning's for dinner last night and had a great experience. Jaxon was an excellent server, very friendly and knowledgeable, and anticipated our every need. You sadly don't get service like that around Denver very much these days. I had the boneless ribeye steak with lemon orzo and vegetables. The orzo was just ok, I would love to see more vegetable options on the side menu. My husband had the New York strip with au gratin potatoes and we shared the Caesar salad. Our steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare and were so flavorful. My husband also had the Mezcal old-fashioned, which was a delight! My only critique would be that the hostess could be a little more friendly and welcoming. We would definitely come back again! read more

We had reservations for 7:00pm on a Sunday evening. We arrived 10 minutes early and we were seated at a table for two in the lounge area. Not what I expected and I wouldn't have minded but the table was cramped with other tables and seating was not comfortable. I asked the hostess if we could be moved and she graciously moved us to a table for four in the dining room. Problem solved. The Dining room was bright and welcoming not your typical dark wood tone steakhouse interior. No stuffy shirts here casual attire is welcome. Our waitress Makayla was awesome. We told her this was our first time at Manning's, which she suspected as she recognized our Boston accent. She went through the menu with us and offer suggestions and shared her favorites. Makayla even told us about other local must go to places. The menu was diverse with some of the usual steakhouse fair. All the apps, sides and entries were appealing. We started with the roasted Brussel sprouts as an app. They were delicious with a light sauce that coated each sprout. There were enough sprouts to savor with our meal as well. My wife ordered the sirloin filet and I chose the NY strip both ordered medium rare. We both chose the loaded baked potato for our side. Each steak was cooked to our liking and the potato was perfect and generously stuffed with cheese and sour cream and plenty of butter. We both finished our meals and were completely satisfied. We passed on the desert offerings as we couldn't fit another bite. If I lived in Lakewood I certainly call Manning's one of my go to places. Thanks Makayla for an enjoyable evening. read more

We had a wonderful evening as you can see below. read more

Well, I must say, Manny's Steakhouse in Denver is nothing short of a culinary knight in shining armour. I strolled in expecting a decent meal and left questioning every other steak I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. The ribeye arrived looking like it had been personally blessed by the gods of flavor charred perfectly on the outside, buttery tender within. The staff? Absolute legends. Polite, quick-witted, and with that uncanny knack of refilling your drink just as you realise you're out. The décor walks a fine line between classy and comfortably rustic like a posh country lodge where even your pint feels a bit fancier. In short, if you're in Denver and you don't dine at Manny's, you're doing life wrong. It's the sort of place that makes you want to loosen your belt, order another round, and toast to the fine art of eating like a king. Bravo, Manny's. You've turned this Brit into a believer. read more

My Sweetheart and I recently visited Mannings for an impromptu week night dinner. This was our third visit and the food is consistently good. On this occasion we both opted for the 7 oz filet. We were both considering getting the Mannings signature potatoes but our waiter suggested that due to the size of the sides, one of us gets one item and the other gets another item so we can share. I'm glad he gave us that advice. I opted for a salad and it was good to break up the richness and creaminess of the potatoes. The steak was seasoned nicely and done to my medium preference. The Manhattan was a pleasant cocktail. My only gripe is the time it takes to bring your check upon completion of your meal. I remember it taking a little while on past visits but this time seemed extra long. All in all I would recommend Mannings for a nice meal in the suburbs. read more

One of my coworkers enjoyed their steak, the other ordered medium rare for his filet mignon, it came out very rare. I made the mistake of ordering pasta at a steak house. The shrimp in it was good, the sauce was more of a cheese sauce than anything else, overwhelming flavor that was average in taste. It was supposed to have lobster in it, couldn't find one piece, and the scallops was just mushy and gross. $40 for one of the most mediocre pastas I've ever eaten. Tip to the cook, try searing the scallops on the grill or cast iron pan to give it flavor and texture..... read more

Service was kind and attentive. My steak was overcooked. This place also looks less comfortable than a Texas Roadhouse.

My wife ordered the fillet and found it very chewy or as she said was the worse fillet she's ever had. The manger offered her piccata chicken ( which was as dry as my blackened chicken) also not very good. The 4 ounces of piccata chicken was also $32 the same as the fillet. The waitress never told us about the Denver restaurant week menu. We also mentioned on our online reservation that it was our anniversary and no one even mentioned that to us. Unfortunately, we will not be going back there. read more

Great service and amazing food! My husband and I went in for our wedding anniversary and was promptly greeted by a very sweet server. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip, (which was Devine) And then i followed up with bbq bacon burger with fries. Mannings has the best fries, hands down! read more

Starting with the good: I cannot say enough about the service. We were excited not to go into downtown or some fancy place for steak. And they were able to seat us and the employees were great. Prices are reasonable. And plenty of parking around their lot. Not so positive: steaks didn't really have flavor (the meat itself, not the seasoning). Mac and cheese was grainy and even my kids didn't want it (). I got scallops as a side, but was kind of disappointed that there were only two & they were also just okay. The stuffed potato that we tried was neutral. Nothing special. And the seafood pasta was ok in flavor but seafood was overcooked. Maybe we were there on an off night but I say it's worth your try for sure! read more

The service was incredible. Shannon was amazing. She always made sure our waters were full, made amazing recommendations and was knowledgeable of the menu. I got the sirloin steak. Perfect medium rare. It was so juicy and delicious. My au gratin potatoes were good, just not traditional au gratin potatoes. They were a touch oily, but that's with the nature and my boyfriend and I devoured them. He had the special; grilled halibut with coconut rice and pineapple chutney. Holy crap, what a dish. Y'all should consider making that a full time dish. It was insanely good! The drinks were yummy too! Old fashioned and pineapple sour. Just amazing read more

SEP2024 We came in for a friends outing. Everything was in high chairs where we were seated though we did have a tv on nearby for the game. Service was friendly and helpful with any questions, water refills infrequent. Since there wasn't really much of a vegetarian meal specifically and I didn't feel like a salad, I got practically everything else on the menu side wise. My partner's order was much easier as she got the ribeye. Between us we got the mac n cheese, the orzo, broccoli mornay, brussel sprouts, along with happy hour shishito peppers, truffle tots, and the beef tips for good measure. Everything was pretty good I'd say. Ribeye was a little overdone, but the different vegetable dishes were cooked well. Needed a bit of salt overall to round out the taste, but that's easy to fix at least. The one I liked among them was the orzo. Nice light on the butter, and would be a great addition as a side. read more

Manning's came highly recommended by a talkative and friendly Uber driver. Maybe I built up too high of expectations, but my experience was marginal. Or pretty "mid" as the kids would say. Maybe it was a bad first impression- I made a reservation on the restaurant's linked Resy site days before. Saturday, 6 p.m. for 2 in the main dining room. However, when we arrived (on time), the kind host had no such reservation. Luckily he had a high top table in the sun/patio room in an otherwise packed restaurant. The patio room had overhead heaters and was comfortable, moderately loud from the busy atmosphere, and offered a casual, low frill, bar and grill environment. Service was good- very friendly server and attentive staff. Food was decent but not extra ordinary. We ordered the Caesar salad (split), 12 oz NY strip ($30) with lemon orzo pasta, and 7 oz filet ($30) with order of scallops ($12) and side of asparagus. Of these, the best item was the Caesar salad which for $16, it should be. Dressing had excellent flavor and accompaniments were fantastic, and salad was fresh. The steaks came cooked as ordered but were average. I question the quality of cuts. Definitely not prime or choice, suspect select cuts based on the tenderness and flavor. Scallops were cooked right but tasted fishier than they should- probably should have known better than ordering fish in Colorado. Asparagus and orzo was cooked appropriately and had good flavor. Whiskey cocktails ($14 each) including the old fashioned and peach sour, were enjoyable. read more

We've been to Mannings a few times now and each time it has been superb! I keep wanting to try new menu items but I keep having the same steak as it's perfect! And reasonably priced compared to same steak at other steak houses.the service has always been good, they seem to have plenty of staff. We did have a tiny hiccup but the manager rectified it immediately. Much appreciated. We will absolutely go back. Ps. Great cocktails there too! read more

We are from California and highly picky when it comes to our steaks. This is our second time having dinner here with our daughter who attends a local college. Steaks are so good, juicy and flavorful! It feels like they cook each steak to be perfect for every single customer. Sides are delicious. Great low key feel. Don't miss out on this place. read more

My husband and I have had our eye on Manning's since we moved to the area about 4 months ago and always drive past it. We saw how reasonable the pricing is for a Steakhouse and its lowkey location and wanted to visit at some point. We decided to finally go for a special dinner with family visiting and it was a great experience! We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Thursday and luckily were able to be seated right away. It was busy! We both ordered New York Strips cooked medium with Fully Loaded Baked Potato side and the Red Pepper Chimichurri Sauce. My mom ordered the Boneless Ribeye with the House Salad side and Honey Lime Vinaigrette. The Ribeye was tender and was perfectly seasoned. My NY Strip was overcooked, but had an amazing crust and flavor regardless. The Chimichurri sauce is a 10/10 and added depth of flavor with its herby vinegar punch. Kyle was the staff member that gave us attentive, friendly and incredible service for our dinner. He asked how our meals were and we admittedly told him my New York strip was overcooked to which he apologized and offered to have it remade. We really appreciated it but the steak was still delicious and a redo was not necessary. Kyle offered us a free dessert instead as a way to make up for the error. He had an upbeat attitude and he worked very hard during the time we were dining. We decided on the tiramisu which was not too sweet, had a soft silky texture and the perfect portion size after a big meal. The food and service were great and we will definitely be back again for a special meal at Manning's. The atmosphere was casual and there was upbeat music playing in the background. I would recommend making a reservation just to ensure you can get a table! read more

Brought brother from out of town here, with the expectation Manning's would deliver a fantastic meal. They Delivered. FIRST THINGS FIRST: even though it will cap your meal as a dessert, whatever you do, save room for dessert and get the SKILLET COOKIE. Toolhouse hot fresh choc chip cookie in a 6" skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. You Need This In Your Life! Do yourself a favor and save room to cap off your meal with this! Brother got the Bechamel Steak Sandwich and said it was fantastic. My go to here? Bechamel Mac N Cheese, WITH the addition of their Mushroom Gruyere Sayce poured over the top. If you want mac b cheese taken to a completely different dimension, get the Mushroom Gruyere Sauce ($5), and mix it in. It'll change the way you look at M&C...guaranteed. Of course, we saved room for the aforementioned Skillet Cookie. No joke, it takes you mentally to a food Happy Place you may have not known existed. We sat at the bar, as tables were a 45 min wait at 7p on Fri night. Service was a shade slower than preferred, but staff was cordial & professional. Manning's, thank you for making this a dynamite meal for my visiting brother. Food was stellar once again. read more

We went with friends at my recomendation. I Made reservations and when we arrived we were seated right away. Decided on a cocktail while we checked out the menu. We all made our selections and looked forward to our meals. Waitress was very nice. Meals arrived and looked delicious. My wife and friend had salmon, the other person had the pork chop. I had a NY strip cooked medium rare with mashed potatoes. My steak was very well done and tough. I immeditialy sent it back. Replacement was cooked medium and very tough as well, not what I had experienced in my previous visits. The important thing was everyone else enjoyed their dish. So it was a 75% success. I won't recommend Mannings at a 75% chance you get a decent meal. read more

This has been a go to restaurant pre covid and it still amazes each time. You can't go wrong here. The chocolate crème brûlée can't be missed, get it every time. Also the salmon orzo pasta is perfect every time. It is always busy and looks busier than it is due to limited parking. read more

I came here a few weeks ago with 3 co-workers. Nice place. Casual, but really upscale, great steaks. Mine was cooked perfectly and the apps we split were all tasty. Our server was REALLY nice. Sorry, I forgot her name! Keep in mind, this spot is just outside Denver in a town called Lakewood. I don't know the Denver area at all and it took us just about 10 minutes to get here from Denver. Casual, but very comfortable atmosphere. A nice experience and I would come back any time. read more

Pleasantly surprised with our meal and great service and ambiance. The cut of steak was outstanding, flavorful, tender,juicy. Perfect for a New York Strip. Happy hour had great options.

My wife and I wanted a nice steakhouse while we visited Colorado and we were certainly let down here. My go to is a Filet Oscar Style. This was the worst one I've ever had. The hollandaise sauce was very poor. It tasted like velveta cheese. The crab that they put on it was very low quality as well. The steak was cooked a little over and wasn't seasoned very well either. The mac n cheese I had as my side was okay. I did finish that. I ended up finishing the steak but I had to wipe off the hollandaise. The steak reminded me of a lower quality steak, not a filet. The service definitely added a star to my review. The staff was kind and attentive. The restaurant ambiance was more of a roadhouse than a steakhouse, but honestly that doesn't bother me at all. We aren't overly fancy people. We just wanted good food and that was not found here. read more
