This was our first time visiting. The service was great and the atmosphere was inviting…read more Unfortunately the food was not good. I wanted a bison burger, but was told they were out. I switched to the beef dip. It was loaded with cheese and onions, and two thin slices of tough, fatty brisket. I tried cutting off the fat, but what little meat was leftover was inedible. I was grateful for my side salad. My husband ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich. There was also very little meat and the sauce was overwhelming. At least his meat was tender and edible. My daughter ordered the pretzel. It was nothing special, and the cheese sauce tastes artificial. It was also $1 more than either of our sandwiches which seems crazy for a pretzel. Definitely won't be back.

He ordered the four cheese lasagna with bolognese sauce. I got the mussels appetizer and an order of spaghetti with vodka sauce. I have to make my own mussels and spaghetti dish as they don't make one. The vodka sauce spaghetti is meh. I put the spaghetti noodles into the mussel dish. Parmesan was on all the dishes and I hate Parmesan. He asked for a to go container when his lasagna came as he always has to take half home. Was told by server that she'd bring it when he needed it. Uh, he needed it then as he wanted to put half in it. Sigh. I know they're trying but this is why we only come here once in a while when we've forgotten how it is. Slow and average food. Not busy at all. Maybe to go orders overwhelm them.

Liked burgers on 1st visit, but not so much on 2nd go round. Very basic with nothing special. I love a good smash burger but theirs is just average, actually kinda dry. Basic pickle and onion condiments plus mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise available. Just not for me... but a nice drive and maybe worth a shot for you.

We were looking for a quiet spot to sit and read while enjoying a few beers. We needed it to be in…read morebetween Denver & Colorado Springs. Bonus points if there was good food available too. This spot NAILED what we were looking for. We were sat right next to the river walk, on a rainy day. We got to listen to the rain, enjoy tasty beers and quietly read. The interior of this space is dark and modern, which fit the vibe perfectly. The staff were attentive. Checking in often and making sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our experience here!

Second visit to this restaurant. It is in Castle Rock's art district. I love that they offer a…read moreflight of beers. The menu is small but feisty. Location (3 stars) On a main street but parking is limited. There is a parking garage connected to the building that the restaurant is in. It is tiny with sharp turns to access. I wouldn't take my truck there and try to park. Love the walkable street and local businesses. Atmosphere (5 stars) Lovely decor. Comfortable seating options. Full bar with television screens. Service (5 stars) Staff have been a delight during each visit. Food (5 stars) House made chips are fire. Tried the brussels sprouts, pretzel & queso, chips guac and salsa (not feeling the salsa), french onion soup, jam it up, island style crab rangoon, short rib enchiladas, and the spicy peach. Everything mentioned except for the salsa was on point. Simply delicious. Cleanliness (5 stars) Nice restrooms

To me it wasn't that spicy, but my husband had the hot honey wings and those were really good too and are cooked perfectly! The staff here was super nice too and I really enjoyed coming here for lunch. Definitely a great place to come on a game day because they have tvs in every corner here! The inside is nice too and they have tons of seating inside. Great place and a keeper on my list for sure.

First time here in several months. I went with my standard Kick'n chicken dish. This version was…read moremuch more heavily seasoned than previous versions have been. It definitely had a kick to it, even without using much of the sauce on the side. Vegetables were good, but when they put the chicken on top of the fries, those end up getting a little soggy. Wanting to try something different, one daughter had the grilled chicken sandwich. While she wasn't terribly impressed at the start, the more she ate, the more she approved, deeming it to be "fine" and something she'd likely get again. The other daughter, also wanting something different, had the green chili burrito. She wasn't as impressed with the dish, saying it didn't have much taste, even after adding good amounts of salt and pepper. The burrito was described as "mid", which I guess means 'not very good.' Doubtful she orders this again. Service was fine at the start, but somewhat sporadic as the meal progressed. We needed to flag the waiter down for refills and to get our check...which sometimes happens when sitting in the bar area.

We stopped in for brunch and everything we ordered was really good, but the Breakfast Hangover Burger completely stole the show for me. A burger topped with smoked ham, an over easy egg, avocado, American cheese, jalapeños, fried onion straws, and sriracha aioli sounds like someone lost a bet and just kept adding ingredients. Somehow it all works perfectly. We also ordered the Monte Cristo, which was crispy, cheesy, and exactly what I want when I order a Monte Cristo. Another highlight weee the donuts. Fresh, hot, and perfect for sharing. The service was great, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip.

We came here for Mother's Day brunch. We had a reservation but not sure we needed one. The place…read morewas more full by the time we left. As I have the past several times here, I went with the egg and carnitas tacos. I added a side of fresh fruit...both the eggs and fruit were very good. As the Benedict my wife loved is no longer on the menu, she had the avocado toast with eggs. She added a large size of the breakfast potatoes and was glad she did. While she liked the taste of the avocado toast, she was very disappointed in the small size of the portion. She wish she had more. One daughter had the Mardi Gras omelette for the first time. While she liked the flavor, the fact that the ham was a full slice (lunchmeat style), as opposed to chunks or cubes, was weird...and required cutting with a knife. The other daughter tried the quiche for the first time and loved it. It is one of the better quiches around. Coffee is very good as well. Service was fine for the most part.
