    G.O.A.T burger
    Evelyn P.

    Penrose has plenty of indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Service was good overall and the food was delicious! We had 3 in our group. We started with the spinach artichoke dip appetizer. We ordered the G.O.A.T burger, fish and chips, and the bomb diggity burger. The spinach artichoke dip was creamy and full of flavor. It was served with plenty of celery, carrots, and tortilla chips. I ordered the bomb diggity burger and loved it! It has a cracked black pepper encrusted burger patty, moody bleu cheese, bacon, buffalo sauce, crispy onions, and blue cheese aioli. The bacon was THICK and cooked perfectly! The buffalo sauce complemented the blue cheese and added an additional kick to the pepper patty. The burger was a little messy to eat with the buffalo sauce and the aioli, but totally worth it. It was a great meal and an overall great experience at Penrose. I'll be back to try more menu items :)

    We stopped here right after Tour De Corgi and the food was pretty solid overall but to be fair, we were starving, which probably helped. I ordered the PBAT, which wasn't the most photogenic and was a bit messy (the tomatoes kept sliding out), but it was flavorful and satisfying. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned. My fiancé got the Blackened Chicken Sandwich, which was good, and our friend had the Salmon Salad, which looked fresh and he seemed to enjoy (though I didn't try it myself). While the food was decent, it wasn't particularly memorable, and I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to return. Our server was super friendly, but her timing was WAY off - we waited far too long to order and again to get the check, even though the patio wasn't very busy. We ended up sitting there for what felt like hours. She also never cleared our finished glasses, so by the end, the table was pretty cluttered. On the bright side, dogs are welcome on the patio! Overall, a decent experience, but probably not one we'd rush to repeat.

    Fried Pickles
    Cathrine S.

    Adorable restaurant in Fort Collins. I should not have opted for the salad, but everyone else enjoyed their meal. The fried pickles were absolutely delicious. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and service was quick. This place was pretty busy on the weekend, it seemed like the place to be for celebrations, sports, and family outtings.

    Poutine
    Stephanie C.

    Good service, cool vibe and decor, ok food. We got the poutine and the elote lobster roll with a side Caesar. The fries on the poutine were nice and crispy with good flavor, the sauce was a bit heavy and got to be a little too much after awhile, but the chorizo and eggs were a nice touch. The lobster roll was super small and just not great. For $27 you'd hope it would be worth it, but it just wasn't. Small lobster portion, big glob of mayo, and the bread was a bit stale. Not that buttery toastiness you get on a good lobster roll so that was a bummer. They split it for us which was nice. Caesar was ok, croutons were stale and didn't really have any flavor. Overall, a cool spot to grab drinks and some elevated bar food. Would order differently next time.

    Hanks Hot Honey Chicken Sandwhich & Mac N Cheese

    The food was delicious and we got it rather quickly! The staff was very nice and we LOVED our food. I would recommend the Hanks Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich!!

    Bone-in Pork Chop
    Angel W.

    We were visiting during the holidays and had a wonderful time. Abominable Snowman - Hot chocolate, peppermint snapps, whipped cream & candy cane - this was the perfect warm up drink! Sweater Weather - hot cider, spiced rum, lemon juice & orange peel - this was ok Ribeye - came with some AMAZING whisky butter, garlic cheddar mashed potatoes, and hatch green chili creamed corn. I don't usually like creamed corn but let me tell you there were no leftovers. It was all delicious! Bone-In Pork Chop - came with mushroom French Diane sauce (I'll take a tub home please), crispy onion and chives with garlic smash and we got side salad instead of seasonal veggies. The side salad was delicious with lots of variety. The pork chop was perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was wonderful throughout. It's a cute place to hang out and much bigger than it looks from the outside. The patio is also super cute looking out to The Exchange (super cute space!). Parking in Downtown Ft. Collins isn't horrible, we found a parking structure that was convenient and had reasonable rates. Otherwise, there is plenty of street parking. Definitely recommended!

    Excellent service good food. Came here with my son his roommate and family for a nice dinner before departing FoCo. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice and welcoming. The food over all was good not the best I've had in FoCo but good. I had the new shrimp PoBoy which was spicy with the fresh jalapeño and the shrimp had a nice light fry I just wish it had more than 4 shrimp on the sandwich. My son had the pork belly burger and said it was delicious. Our other friends had the cheesesteak and the Ruben both said they were good but not fantastic. I loved the sweet potato fries and the tots were crisp and salty. I would come back and try it again for sure.

    Papi de gonzo chicken sandwhich
    Jimmy M.

    Okay so first and foremost the papi de gonzo sandwich was fantastic. Three of us got it and every single one of us left stuffed and happy. My brother in law got the PBAT (Pork Belly Sandwich) and it came with barely any pork belly on it so he was disappointed. The service was SLOW. She was fine but it just didn't seem like anyone moved quickly.

    mac n cheese + add on steak
    Robert C.

    Tried this place out for dinner with a party reservation and decided to get the mac n cheese with steak add on. They have a large menu but the images of their mac n cheese really stood out and made me want to try it. The food was great and the perfect portion sizing. Good ambiance and attentive waiter that frequently came by to refill water and clear the table. Family friendly place with an amazing kids menu also!

    We have eaten here before and I neglected to leave a review. The happy hour menu and food are good. Definitely a plus. We stopped in tonight for a beer and drink. Hubby remembered that they had a pretty kick ass NA IPA last time. This time it was just Athletic. Which is his go to. Not that it's bad he just wanted something different. I had a vodka soda. Good pour. We will return of course.
