    Bahn mi red miso porketta.
    George E.

    In Denver looking for a quick bite and was directed to The Porketta House. A very small and confined space with big, over-the-top flavored sandwiches. Take out is more the norm here due to limited space. The delicious pork is placed in a variety of sandwiches or bahn mi style with pickled veggies. Wings are also a go-to here. I ordered the bahn mi with red miso porketta, pickled veggies, jalapenos, cilantro, cucumbers and a black sesame keypie. It was moist, crispy veggies, a hint of a burn from the jalapenos and a PERFECT roll. It was a fabulous fast meal. The Porketta House has good service, tasty flavors and the PERFECT roll. They are so focused on the food that the cilantro is separately wrapped for freshness and to be applied to the sandwich later, impressive as the details matter. If you are looking for a very tasty sandwich, get to the Porketta House for a real treat. Nice job to the kitchen staff and prep crew.

    Casual Kind owner. Delicious great food. So happy they're up the street. My friend and I popped in and we're not disappointed

    Had been to the art museum and was getting hungry and I knew this gem had been sitting in my Google list for a while so decided to swing by! AJ greeted me as soon as I walked in and was super nice. I was the only one inside at the time, so AJ and I chatted a lot. He told me Porchetta House has been open about 2 years now. You can access the menu via QR code and order that way, as well. Food was made to order and didn't take long at all to be brought to my table. I even noticed when someone came in for a To Go order he made the fries right then so they'd be nice and fresh. Little things like that definitely stand out. The portions are generous!!! Look at the toppings on those fries!!! The original Porchetta was also well filled with fresh ingredients. I asked if the bread was made in house and AJ told me he sources the Original Porchetta bread locally and it was soft while maintaining a nice crunch. I believe he also told me the Al Pastor sandwich bread is sourced from San Antonio. This was my first time having porchetta and it was a good first experience. Don't skip on this unassuming place! It's a hidden gem and even though parking and seating are limited, you're going get a good, fresh cooked meal with great service. Will definitely be back!!!

    OMG If you haven't tried this place yet go! I want everyone to try their goodness. I recently found out that they have monthly specials and now it is a green chili sandwich, sooo good. We always get the bhan mi and the traditional with extra sauce. The owner is so nice and hard working! We get take out mostly but it is best if you eat it there and piping hot

    Bahn mi sandwich
    Jordan L.

    We tried The Porchetta House and ordered the Al Pastor fries, the Original sandwich, and the Bahn mi. The fries were delicious, loaded with toppings. The Original sandwich had a strong peppery kick that might not be for everyone, but it was still good. Our favorite by far was the bahn mi. The portions here are generous, so come hungry or be ready to share. The restaurant shares a space with a catering company, so it has more of a casual, no-frills setup, but the food is worth the visit.

    I think this place was almost great! There were just two things that were big issues for me the first was the salt levels. The sandwiches salt levels were way too high. To the point where it was almost inedible. This seems like it's an easy fix or even an off day. The other issue I had was the "skin" or lack there of. When I think of a great porchetta I think of the crunchy skin. Other than that it was good. Service was great and I love the classic deli ambiance. I wish I could give them a 4 but the salt really was an issue

    Pastor, bahn mi, and traditional sandwich
    Erika E.

    Omg! It was orgasmic!!! We ordered 3 different sandwiches and they were all 10/10!!! Our favorite was the pastor!!!! SO FLAVORFUL!!!! It will live rent free in my mind and I'll dream about it every night! Every time I visit Denver, I will make this my first stop!!!

    Do NOT be fooled by the sketchy exterior- this is the best sandwich I have had in my life. I wasn't entirely sure what a porchetta was before I came in, but I am so glad that I know now! My husband and I shared the Al Pastor, which was fantastic- super flavorful, on a perfectly toasted ciabatta bun with carmelized pineapple pico. It had a creamy sauce with just a little spice that was the perfect counterpoint. Service is a little different- you order through a website on your phone using a QR code on the tables, but it was simple and easy to use, we had no issues. The gentleman running the kitchen was very friendly and on top of it too when we came in. Highly highly recommend. I might come back tomorrow it was so good.

    The Original

    Kind of a hole in the wall seemingly sharing space with a catering outfit. Had The Original with a Mexican Coke. Sandwich was jam packed with pork and a spicy arugula. My meal was super filling and very satisfying. The spiced fries were graced with the same delicious combination of salt, garlic, and other unknown magic. They are absolutely inhalable. The gentleman working there, unfortunately I didn't catch his name, was very friendly, efficient and worthy of praise and appreciation. Give The Porchetta House a try!

    This is a small place with big flavors. The food was amazing. Very fresh. Food came out piping hot. I will definitely be coming back here next time I visit Denver

    Bahn mi, Al Pastor, and Hatch chile sandwich
    Aaron B.

    So good. We had the Bahn Mi, Green chile sandwich, and Al Pastor fries. It was hard to decide what was better. My mouth was confused and so satisfied! Delicious

    The original
    Allison T.

    Porchetta House is definitely an unassuming spot. When we walked in, the place was completely empty--no staff, no customers--just a quiet space where you order from your phone. The vibe was... weird. Not necessarily bad, just kind of uncomfy. After not being greeted, the chef stopped back to check our order and was very friendly and kind. Now, onto the food. The original was fine--nothing mind-blowing, a little underwhelming. But the al pastor sandwich was unreal. The flavors were bold, the meat was tender, and it made up for some of the weirdness in the experience.

    Bahn mi fries
    Alex B.

    My new favorite sandwich. It's the best I've had in a long time. Definitely get a round of Bahn mi fries for the table.

    Can we get a beer here?

    No, they only offer soft drinks. However, there's a bar in the same building and there's also a liquor store. Just go around to the front, facing Colfax Avenue.

The staff was super friendly and helpful despite being overwhelmed by a very large party while I was there. They take their time making the drink because they clearly want you to enjoy them.

Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

Death & Co is a bar that has been on my list to go to for a very long time. We made our reservation ahead of time, which I would highly recommend you do. I almost didn't do it, but I'm glad I did because it was limited seating still. The inside atmosphere is absolutely amazing elegant, upscale. This is the place to be. We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking. All in all, this place truly delivers an amazing experience. The wait staff was able to make amazing recommendations on cocktails based on what people's preferences are. The food was truly amazing. If you like good food and great drinks, I would definitely check this place out.

This is a breakfast place and yet, for coffee, whole milk is the only dairy option offered. For me, if your business is breakfast, I assume coffee is your #1 served drink, to not have options for lattes is an easy miss. Providing skim milk allows you to make your own 2%! It also seems they had one non dairy option which, again, it's a breakfast cafe. I cannot make sense of it. Service was slow and spotty, which was particularly disappointing given the 20% included service fee. This fee notice is posted everywhere which I appreciated but if this is the case, you must must provide top notch service. Waited quite a while once we were finished for our check which is just unacceptable. That said I did love my breakfast bowl full of veggies - one of their summer specials. And I liked the hot sauce wall! Plus I love dogs and really dug the weenie decor. Despite the good food product, this is a restaurant where their policies and lack of options made me feel unwelcome. With all the great food spots in the area, there's nothing that would draw me back to this place as I'd like to have a latte if I'm going out for breakfast, and this place couldn't provide any milk option for me.
