    We dropped in on a day that I happened to be very hungry. Their happy hour is THE place to go if you are hungry or hungry AND thirsty. The Happy Hour $5 menu has wonderful choices, from a heaping bowl of fried pickle chips with deeeelicious dipping sauce, 2 amazingly crispy tacos with 2 sauces, one of which was smoky and absolutely delicious!! I also got a Caesar salad. Yes, I was THAT hungry! We ordered a jam burger and short rib stroganoff. The burger was cooked perfectly to order and was dee-licious! I substituted sweet potato fries and they were "homemade style small wedges" and cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that the sweet potato wedges were a substituted upgraded item and I only had about five fries, but I had to pay the upgrade charge. The short rib stroganoff was so fantastic that my mouth is watering at the memory of it. The short ribs were cooked to perfection. The noodles were also cooked to perfection with creamy delicious mushroom stroganoff sauce. Oh my goodness! I want to go back now. Lol! Service was amazing. Gary was very knowledgeable about the menu and was such a warm kind person. We almost felt like we were dining with family! Michael was very attentive and helpful and ensured our food was properly and quickly served. This unassuming little gem immediately became one of our favorite restaurants. We can't recommend it enough. The restaurant didn't look like much from the outside. But once inside, it is a cozy, warm, upscale restaurant. They also have a large back room with a large TV. They offer a full service bar. We highly recommend this place!!

    Went here for my birthday and it was great! Really good drinks and tasty fries! Service was also good the location threw me off but once inside it was so cute and well decorated. They also validate parking!

    Fish and Chips

    Penn Street Kitchen is in an office building across from the Swedish Medical Center and serves contemporary American food. We had large group of 10 people, which they accommodated easily without any crowding of our party or other tables. The front desk was very efficient with getting us seated, including directing others to our table they arrived. The initial table service was quick and efficient, however after the orders were taken, the service lagged considerably. Follow-up visits by our server were lacking and numerous times had to literally flag down our server for any drink refills, to-go boxes and our checks. As far as food is concerned, all the lunch meals looked fresh and delicious as they were being served. However, the Fish and Chips I ordered turned out to disappointing, due to the fish seem to have been steamed at some point and had a mushy texture rather than the firmness of a nice filet of fish. The chips served were very good, with nice crisp outside, which also was the case for the light tempura-like batter on the outside of the fish. I must admit the Reuben sandwich that another ordered looked amazing. Overall, the location of Penn Street is convenient and with the accessibility of the parking garage (Penn Street validates the 1st 2-hours of parking), is a very nice place to meet for lunch. Even with the service and my lunch meal, I would return, as all restaurants have off days of service or food, and many of the other dishes ordered looked great. Tips for your visit: If you have a large party, they use Open Table for reservations and accommodate us with separate checks. If you like people watching, ask for table by the window.

    First time here for a good friends goodbye breakfast. The place got filled with people in no time. No surprise there. Food was good. Service excellent and very accommodating.

    Little under the radar brunch spot right across from swedish medical center. The design was cute and mid century mod and I loved the vibe inside. Server was incredibly nice. I got a bloody mary, which was the right amount of spice and absolutely delicious. Food wise we got the blueberry pancakes w/ bacon, the chicken & waffles, bacon brie toast w/ an egg, and the denver omelette. everyone loved their food I think except for me with the denver. the ham was thin sliced kind of like deli meat and the bell peppers/onions were huge, the ratio of egg to fillings was 70% egg and 30% filling it felt like. I also think it's strange the omelette doesn't come with toast so had to order a side of it for $4 which I don't love.

    Biscuits and gravy main dish
    Rachel S.

    I had a lovely brunch here with my former coworkers. I loved the ambience, the service, and the food. I ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. The gravy was flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. I also ordered coffee and a minosa, both of which were solid. The hash brown potatoes were crazy good too, as was the cinnamon roll pancake.

    Overall really good experience. Found parking in their lot. I was out for the day with my daughter…read moreand we decided we needed a snack. We stopped in here. We were welcomed in and seated. We looked over the menu and decided on the "Holla" Peña Lollipoppas. Bacon wrapped shrimp lollipops stuffed with cream cheese & jalapeño, served with a raspberry jalapeño jam. Yes, please! This was the perfect snack to keep us going on our day's adventures. the shrimp and bacon went well together, the filling gave it the popper flavor and that hit of sweet from the jam brought it all together. I would like to come back again to try some other items on their menu. Most excellent stop.

With that being said it was a bit loud in there but everyone appeared to be having a great time, the servers included. I ordered the Brutal Burger with fries and it came out pretty quick. It's a nice thick juicy burger that's been seasoned and comes with all the fixings. Be warned, a lot of the items on the menu say they're spicy. This burger was not.

I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable. I would sooner go to a fast food restaurant.

Maybe 1/4 artichoke, and the rest was full of cheese and spinach. If you like cheese, then get this item. However, if you are looking for that artichoke taste, skip it. We also ordered their salad, and that was the only item that I finished. Their pizza is terrible. They poured Parmesan on top of our pizza. That's a no-no. We will add it ourselves if we wanted it. Something is also wrong with the crust too. I guess there are restaurants where they don't know how to make a good pizza. Service? What service, they were only interested in serving those people who are drinking and ordering alcohol drinks. As for diners like ourselves, they did not take care of us. Unfortunately, we went when the soccer game was being broadcasted, so there goes the ambience: loud and noisy. Turn and run away from this place.

Unfortunately, the Caesar salad was way too overdressed for our taste, and the egg rolls were served cold, which was a letdown. Service was okay, but you could tell our server was juggling a lot since he was the only one on the floor besides the bartender. The atmosphere had a fun sports bar vibe that we enjoyed, making it a decent spot to catch a game. Overall, it had its ups and downs, and while we loved some things, there were areas that could use improvement.

    Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio
