    Counter with one kiosk to the left.
    David R.

    Food is very tasty. Portion size is very small. Cashiers did not greet us or offer to take our order. They pointed us to a kiosk to order. Apparently the person in front of us had difficulty ordering so the line started backing up. Finally the cashier motioned us to walk up and order. Crowded eating area where a majority of the customers were getting McDonald's. Sandwich was tasty with fresh ingredients, but as you can see from the photo, about quadruple the bread to ingredients.

    Chicken, sweet potato bowl

    I was on a very quick layover and had to get a bite before boarding. I'm always on the hunt for healthy meals and came across Modern Market. I quickly ordered the chicken and sweet potato bowl. Came out in very timely and I had time to eat it before I got on the plane. This is probably the best meal I've ever had in an airport. 10/10!!! It was so good, fresh, and healthy! Loved it! This is exactly what I was looking for - protein forward with healthy carbs, and the green spicy sauce was amazing! Appreciated the delicious meal!!

    For lunch, I ordered a Thai coconut salad, which was a bed of mixed greens topped roasted chicken, rosemary maple sweet potato, toasted coconut, cucumber, toasted peanut, pickled onion, cilantro, peanut mango dressing. It was an interesting combination of ingredients. I didn't necessarily loved it, but I didn't hate it either. The combination of flavors just didn't do it for me.

    I was absolutely delighted by the size and quality of my chicken bowl. I felt so healthy. The price was appropriate for airport food. I placed my order on the kiosk, and I received a friendly hello and greeting from a real human being working there when I entered the space. Best place to get dinner in DEN!

    Placing and receiving my order was an absolute breeze. They have a self-service kiosk that allows for a straight forward and customizable ordering experience. The customer service was brief but helpful. I ordered the the Smokey Chicken Bowl. They offered a generous serving of all ingredients - chicken, potatoes, quinoa/rice mix, tomatoes, slaw, and salsa. The chicken and sweet potatoes were wonderfully flavorful. The rice/quinoa was pretty bland but that is ok with the various ingredients to mix with it. The tomatoes and salsa, however, we're so spicy I couldn't taste a thing. I also ordered the Mac n' Cheese. They were cheesy with a hint of southwestern flavor, I liked it. The noodles were just a smidge overcooked for my taste (I prefer al dente), but that could be due to the time of day - I ordered at 730p, so it had probably been cooked hours ago and softened over time. I paid $26 for both items. Portions were large. All-in-all, it was a good meal but be forwarded about the spice & wowza.

    1.15.26: I had a layover in Denver and wanted to grab dinner without having to wait long at a sit down eatery. I also wanted something healthy, which is kind of hard to find at an airport without spending a decent penny. I came across modern looking for a pasta salad and to my delight they had healthy options. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and thought it was decently priced at under $20. The portion of ahi, veggies, and lettuce was pretty adequate and didn't leave me feeling bogged down. Greens were crisp and no signs of wilting, so that's a plus. Ambiance was hustle and bustle busy with travelers but I didn't feel I waited very long and I was satisfied with the value and freshness being it was "airport food."

    I love this place. The green chili egg and potato breakfast burrito is a showstopper. Awesome staff too.

    Seared Ahi Salad
    David C.

    I am a fan of going to Modern Market when I want a quick and healthy bite to eat. I assumed this location would be at least of similar quality to other ones I've been to before but that was far from the case. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and I was amazed at the lack of quality and care. First off, the salad just looked unappetizing and like it was just thrown together. Nothing was really seasoned or anything and the ahi was super cold like it was just taken out of a fridge. It tasted decent though. Service was pretty good with nice employees. Atmosphere is a little depressing there. It feels like a prison dining hall.

    I find myself at DEN a lot. Modern Market is my absolute favorite place to grab a meal when I'm in DEN. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast. My favorite item to order is the Thai coconut salad which comes with a peanut butter dressing. Absolutely delicious. It comes with chicken, but I also add tofu because their tofu is delicious. I always have to grab a curry sweet potato soup also. It's so good that I would to get the recipe and make it at home and eat it all the time. Casual. Modern is located near gate C31 in the Southwest terminal. Please come and create your own experience.

    Buddha Bowl- tofu
    Michele M.

    I had a 3 hour layover and walked up and down the terminal looking for something good and sort of healthy. I picked Modern Market because they say they make their food to order. I ordered the Buddha Bowl which had a lot of ingredients (Organic sesame glazed tofu, rice and quinoa, spicy roasted broccoli, carrot, citrus cabbage slaw, and peanuts with a peanut mango sauce) The tofu had no taste and I didn't see any sesame glaze. The carrots and "citrus cabbage slaw" also had no flavor. The carrots and cabbage seemed like fresh out of the bag with no seasoning at all. The roasted broccoli was the only thing in the bowl that had any taste and it was a bit spicy. I don't even like broccoli but I ate this broccoli for the flavor. The peanut mango sauce was ok but it didn't go with the bowl. It might have been better on a salad. I tried to eat it but couldn't finish even half of the bowl. I can't say much for the service since I ordered on a kiosk. They have their own little seating section but it was filthy.

    I had a very disappointing experience because of the host. I was initially offered a seat on a…read morecouch that was directly next to another party, and I politely said I would rather wait for a table instead. A few minutes later, I watched him seat two parties who had arrived after me. I then spoke with another hostess and told her I was happy to sit anywhere except the couch. She even said she didn't know why I had been skipped. She went to ask the host, and when she came back she confirmed that he had intentionally skipped me. I also overheard him make an inappropriate comment after she questioned him about it. While I couldn't hear every word, it was obvious from the interaction that he had deliberately passed me over because I declined the original seating option. There is a huge difference between politely declining one specific seat and giving up your place in line. The host's attitude was rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. The other hostess handled the situation professionally and was kind, but this host's behavior left an incredibly poor impression. I hope management addresses how guests are treated, because no customer should be spoken about or treated that way. To add to this- I absolutely love the food here, however this is not appropriate customer service

I'm pretty disappointed about just how dry the pastrami sandwich they served me was. I nearly choked on it without a beverage nearby. I've actually never even had a dry pastrami sandwich, the meat usually has enough fat to keep things juicy. Now I will admit that I requested no pickles, and I bet the juice from the vinegar and the pickles themselves probably made the overall sandwich a bit more tolerable. But as someone who cannot enjoy pickles, despite loving nearly anything else pickled, that's a nonstarter. And pickles on a pastrami are not very common elsewhere so I had no way to expect a sandwich lacking. Sure they're often served alongside but not on the sandwich itself. The sandwich did have a boatload of deli mustard in it, but even that was not sufficient to combat the dryness. The service area is also poorly designed or at least lacking signage telling people what's expected. There was no clear entrance queue and customers were going both ways in spaces that felt sized for single direction travel. They could have done a lot better with this location.
