    The smoothies here are usually pretty good. I used to crave their food and go often, but won't be going back. My visit today was during a busy lunch hour so the wait was expectedly a bit long - no biggie. While waiting with my 5 year old, I watched a customer hand a rotten apple back to one of the employees and swap it out for a different side. I took notice because it was gross looking, even from across the room. Our to-go order was ready next and I picked it up, said thank you, and left. We arrived home to find this same rotten apple in our to-go order and our quesadilla was undercooked and drippy with sauce (salsa?) that usually isn't in there ... it was soggy. For $15 after tip, I'm disappointed. My kid wouldn't eat the "gross" quesadilla and I wouldn't have him eat the apple either. So essentially we paid $15 for a smoothie. I have empathy for the food service industry. It's tough finding and retaining good people right now. But there is no excuse for handing out rotten food TWICE.

    Entire unblended banana

    Very disappointed in quality and service. Four workers but only one making smoothies. There were 10 people waiting when we ordered and it took 25 minutes to get our smoothie. The smoothie was not blended and couldn't even drink it through the straw because of the many chunks of unblended ice and banana. We will not be coming back.

    This is a newer location in the Arvada area. We've been to the one near IKEA but came across this while we were out and wanted to try it. We ordered two smoothies and a sandwich. The smoothies were made perfectly and were very delicious! My boyfriend said that his sandwich was hot and fresh and is one of the better Cuban sandwiches he's had. I would definitely recommend that you try this place!

    I wanted to like this place SO bad but on my first visit let me just say the service was horrible. 6 people working, zero people in line- Any guesses how long it took someone to even GREET me? Come on guys, if you can't get to the register fine but at least nicely say HI WE WILL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE! Lacked basic customer service. The smoothie itself was just OK, definitely not $6+ good. Would have gone lower on stars but the establishment itself was pretty clean. I'll try this place one more time and if my opinion changes I'll update the review.

    Plastic found blended into smoothie
    Alisha F.

    I really like this place... The staff is friendly and the smoothies are good. However, I got a smoothie today and have found multiple pieces of plastic wrapping blended into it. I'm assuming it's some sort of packaging that was accidentally left on one of the ingredients. Hopefully it isn't toxic. For a $6, I'd expect a little more attention to detail.

    I think the person whom took my order name was Isabelle. She has her airpods in talking on the phone. She came up and said "are you ready to order or what". Super rude don't recommend!!!

    The chia banana boost with roasted bananas

    First time here and already love it. The smoothie I had was the Chia Banana Boost and seriously tasted like heaven. It was such a good way to end the day. It tastes like candy but as you can see in my menu picture with the description it is loaded with healthy stuff. The food smelled amazing and sounds great so I will be coming back to try more foods out and take pictures. The place is in a pretty good location. Lots of parking and seating. It's kinda hard to spot from the main road. Highly recommended.

    We stumbled upon Lloyd's while walking in Old Town Arvada, and I was very much in the mood for a…read moregood sandwich. We popped in and checked out the menu. It took about 5 minutes for us to be greeted by anyone working; there were two employees working behind the counter, both were busy making sandwiches. Eventually one let us know it was going to be a few more minutes before they could take our order, to which I didn't mind - I recognize it takes time to make sandwiches. We waited for a bit (probably ~10 minutes), and then decided to place an order with them online and continue walking around while we waited. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, so maybe this is the best way to go about ordering so you're not just standing around. To clarify, I didn't mind waiting but it also made sense to place the order and then walk around while waiting. I ordered the North of I70 Italian sandwich, and indicated that I wanted mayo, mustard and oil + vinegar. My wife ordered the sweet baby turkey, and also asked for mayo and salt + pepper. Neither of our sandwiches had any condiments on them (pic included). Each sandwich cost $20, and while I realize that the price of good deli meat has gone up, it was definitely a bummer to not have exactly what we ordered on a sandwich that costs so much - $40+ for 2 standard size sandwiches. The other thing to note is that the mushrooms are not fresh - also included a pic of the mushrooms which I assume come from a can/jar. Had I known the mushrooms were not fresh, I would not have ordered them. I was really rooting for this place to be good, but was overall disappointed in the experience and outcome of our order.

    Solid sandwich shop in Olde Town! I didn't have any issues with the wait like some of the reviews…read moreI've seen mentioned, but they have darts and foosball to kill the time if it's taking awhile. It is definitely a little pricey- $25/person for a sandwich, chips and a beer/seltzer- but the sandwiches are good and are big enough that it left me stuffed so it's a decent value.

He looks like Superman flying over the dirt! Trying to make sense of the wall menu was difficult. Almost too many as to be confusing because several sandwiches are similar in content. The huge menu on the wall doesn't give prices for all the items and it's very deceptive in my opinion. Our bill for a Chicago dog, a pastrami sandwich and a Cuban sandwich with one order of fries and 3 drinks came to over $50 which is stupid pricey IMHO. There were at least 5 people working behind the counter and our order came out fairly fast. I felt the sandwiches were very skimpy on the meat and nothing came with a side included. The Cuban sandwich was underwhelming and not much flavor. If you want a wonderful deli sandwich go to The Bagel Deli off Hampden and I-25. The absolute best in my opinion.

We were hoping to try the breakfast sandwiches but were disappointed to see that they stop serving them after 11 am- which is fine, we ordered the vegetation artichoke sandwich to share instead. It was super wet and goopy without any crunch or other texture, but the flavor was good. The prices were high for what we got. We also tried the chocolate pistachio croissant which was also super messy and leaked everywhere on the warm day. The staff was friendly enough and there is plenty of outside seating.

There's a couple tables 'cause the wings are best eaten fresh and hot. There were 2 guys working and finishing a carry out and delivery order but they were friendly and told us they'd be right out. We ordered 24 wings for 3 of us. Just the right amount as the wings are pretty meaty and good sized. We actually had a couple leftover to take home. We tried the boss sauce and buffalo hot. We liked that combination. The french fried were nice and crispy rippled ones. The employee also offered to let us try two kinds of ranch sauces, one individually pre-packaged and one they had poured into a cup. There's a water dispenser that you can get your own water. They also have a free video game that is fun to play while you're waiting for the wings to come out. They are a Rochester NY outfit, a tiny different than our favorite Buffalo NY wings, but we are happy to support them again in the future. Gotta remember the cash discount next time.

We went together for pick up. The person who helped us when through the entire smoker bundle to show us the contents and then got the rib roast. Everything was well packaged and arranged. Even though it was the Friday before a religious holiday, and many folks were picking things up, it did not take long for us to get our order, pay and be on our way. The meats we have received both on this order and in the past have always been high quality. Edwards is an excellent butcher shop.
