On about 72nd and Sheridan there is a sushi place called Shogun. BEST sushi I have found almost anywhere. Their rolls are huge.
I tried Jack'n'Grill recently and wasn't impressed. The food was pretty bland but the green chile wasn't bad.
Rudy's in COS = GOOOOOD! [Dinner]
Jim N' Nick's Bar-B-Q is also tasty.
BD's Mongolian Grill (downtown) = tasty if you create the right food combo
El Jardin (Commerce City)- I've always heard good reviews but I've never been. Anyone?
Rio Grande- thier food sucks but it's hard to beat their margs
I'm looking for a place that serves up tasty wings at a decent price around Denver. So far my favorite Colorado wing place is BW3 and that's not saying a lot.
I think its called the Dez burger. Green chile, double burger...its so good. I eat half for lunch then half for diner.
I've heard Le Casa Del Rey in Commerce City. I tried to go and the place was PACKED! I was really surprised for Commerce City. But I've never eaten there.
There's a cheesesteak place nextdoor, on 72nd, that is the best cheesesteak place I've found. I almost enjoy going to CC for work, if its around lunch time.
Mmmmmm, gluttony. I love gluttony. Do they offer it on their lunch menu too, or is it just on the dinner menu?Quote:

Dinner: Root Down in the highlands. This place is one of those weird sustainable organic joints but don't let that fool you. Their steak is absolutely off the chain.
Dessert: Sweet Action ice cream on Broadway. So damn good!
Just want to mention..Li's Asian Bistro on 13th and Santa Fe. I stopped by last night after watching Glenn's Broke and was impressed by the food.

If you want to know where the good food is.... talk to the Fat Man!
I knows goods foods....
Best Greek Food.... Petes Gyros Place on Colfax, near the old East High School... Bring a gun..
Best BBQ... Serious Texas BBQ in Loveland or there is a place in Longmont called Shmitty's... TRES YUM and you can hit Jensen's on the way.
Best Noodles... Js Noodles on Federal.
Best oinkfestival.... Name escapes me.... italian buffet off of I-25...decent food and all you can inhale.
Best Burger... Cherry Cricket or City Grille used to be good until the Russian mob took it over.
Best Breakfast...Tough one... Alice's Restaurant in Longmont has Killer pancakes... Toast in cherry Creek has Killer French toast....
Toast, off Santa Fe and Bowles in Littleton, is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I had these biscuit/pancakes with sausage in them, topped with eggs, and smothered in sausage gravy. I couldn't eat more than about half, and I can eat a lot!
The line on a Saturday or Sunday morning coincides with the deliciousness of the food. Plan on waiting for a while.
Anybody been to Venice Ristorante Italiano in Greenwood Village off of Holly? Going there for my better halfs work Christmas party this weekend, looks awfully fancy to me.
And once you're seated don't be surprised if your table is approximately 3"-12" away from the next table. ...no, seriously.Quote:

i was wondering if anybody has been to Sobo 151 in denver?and how is it?
my nephew told me about it saying one of his friends is a cook there
and i sure do love my european food!![Coffee]
I haven't been to Sobo 151. However, if you like Czech and eastern European food I highly recommend Cafe Prague in Morrison. Outstanding food and service.Quote:

SN: What time you want to come? (heavy eastern euro accent and gruff-sounding)
Me: We'd like reservations for 5pm.
SN: NO! No table for you 5 o'clock. You eat dinner 5:30.
Me: Ahhh...ok. How about a table for 2 at 5:30?
SN: OK. You be here 5:30.
Once we got there and met him he was very nice. But he's very demanding of his staff and he keeps everyone on the ball. Great, great food.
sounds like a SNL skit!coke-no pepsi![LOL]Quote:

i gotta ask jreifsch80 to give me the tour of the place-hes allways in the know about places like that -told me about some ruski butcher shops in denver thatll scare most people -even the ruskis!!
Sushi - Junz in Parker is fantastic. Samurai Sushi down on Arapahoe and Dayton is pretty good too. They have a $21 all you can eat deal that I frequent about once every 2 months or so. Great quality. You just have to eat everything you order or you have to pay full price. CHALLENGE!!
Lebanese and Persian cuisine - Ali Baba in Golden used to be great. I haven't been there in a couple or few years. Best hummus ever.
Mexican - I've heard great things about a place called Senor Pepe's but I've never been there. They're supposed to have the best chile rellenos around I guess.
8 Rivers (http://www.8riverslodo.com/)
Been here twice. Food, drink and service are great. Use to love Bahama Breeze and this is place is 10x better.
Schneids Smoke Shack is amazing BBQ. Its cheap, filling, and hot damn its delicious. This place doesn't get busy. Really friendly warmhearted people. This is honestly my favorite restaurant of all time. Its south of Mineral and Platte Canyon at 7986 S Depew St Littleton
I remember those skits well. they were based off of the Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago. As I recall, the place is (was) owner by Belushi's uncle.Quote:

Does anyone know of a good mom and pops type bakery that has really good sticky buns or cinnamon rolls? There's a place in Lakewood called Taste of Denmark that has some great breads and what not but their sticky buns aren't quite what I'm looking for.
Johnson's Corner cinnamon rolls for the win
Here are my favs;
Damn! Now I'm hungry. [Rant1][Rant2]
- Rosalinda's on West 33rd-Best authentic green chili and mole.
- El Corozan on Blake St- Across from The Rio. Excellent food and margs. Best Denver green chili.
- Dave's Chuckwagon Diner on West Colfax- The best chicken fried steak in the state. Good fried chicken and hot shots too.
- Dot's Diner and Lucile's tie for best breakfasts.
- Japango and Hapa for sushi.
- Wild Mountain Smoke House in Nederland- Good pulled pork and ribs.
- Mountain Sun in Boulder- Best burgers.
I've been told this, by more than a few people. I just need to get off my a$$ and go try them.Quote:

I seldom ever make it up to the Denver/Littleton/Westminster/Boulder area, so I can't speak to those areas.Quote:

Their Bear Claws and turnovers, etc. are bigger than my hand (I have large hands too!). The flavor of their products is fantastic and their prices are very reasonable (given the high cost of doughnuts and such these days). They also sell breakfast burritos which meet the same level of taste/price/value as the rest of their products. My buddies and I like to stop by and get something from them on our way up to ice fish at 11 Mile or Antero. Great stuff!
Hell, that's not too far from the South Site it looks like. I see a plan forming . . . .Quote:

Rudy's Pit BBQ in the Springs is also very good. Chain restaurant that I believe started out in New Braunfels, so it's Hill Country BBQ. For best value, skip the sandwiches and order by the pound (I think it's actually by the 1/2 pound), then ask the cashier for some bread and make your own sammiches!
As far as BBQ in the Springs...
There used to be a place called County Line BBQ, just North of Fillmore on the road right next to the West side of I-25. It was the best in the Springs.
Then, when County Line closed, Howards BBQ moved in the old County Line building. I really enjoyed their food and it was my new favorite BBQ place in the Springs.
Then this Howards location closed. Bummer. No good BBQ in the Springs. I recently found out that Howards had another (smaller) location & there are still (supposedly) just as good. No one I've talked to knows the exact location for the remaining Howards BBQ.
Then, this fall, my buddy took me to Rudy's BBQ. While not 100% up to my standards, I must admit that they are pretty damned good, soooo... Now, Rudy's is my favorite Springs BBQ place.
We've still got Famous Dave's (okay, but doesn't thrill me at all)Front Range (2 locations - sucky BBQ and they discriminate against their emlpoyees), and Red, Hot & Blue (ate there once and will NEVER return - they call that swill BBQ? I wouldn't feed it to Marlins dog).
With all of that said, I'd still rather make the drive up to Parker to enjoy a meal or even just a sandwich at Hickory House. Yes, it's worth the drive.
BBQ....http://www.thesmokinq.com/ all the way! Tiny place up in Divide, low and slow dry smoked. When they first opened last year I used to feed my family of 5 for $25. Prices did go up a bit, more up to par.
Ok, I don't get the love over Hickory House.
I mean, it's ok
but right down Parker Rd is Big Jim's BBQ in that van that smells so damn good that is 20 times better.
Big Jim's BBQ is the best BBQ in Denver metro IMHO.
This is that little place right on the corner of 24 and 67; right? I ate there a little over a month ago (another payment for helping my buddy move). Yes, I was quite impressed with their brisket. I decided that it's not a bad place to stop and get a bite on my way back from fishing.Quote:

Smokin' Dave's BBQ is pretty good if you're in the mood for BBQ in Estes Park.
Eh, purely your opinion. The love for Hickory House is quite simple, it's much better than "ok", there wouldn't be flocks of people waiting out front in the cold for a table, if it weren't good. But that is purely my opinion.Quote:

Ate at Texas de Brazil on 13 Dec. OUTSTANDING!
I've eaten at Fogo de Chao in Houston, Roditzio in Albuquerque, and Pampas in Las Vegas. Texas de Brazil was at least as good as Fogo de Chao, which I consider the best of the lot. Ate so much meat I started getting the "meat sweats"!
Great place to go for a special occasion or as th eoccasional treat, but GO HUNGRY.
I was thinking about that the other day, and that a majority of people don't know what a truly great meal tastes like. It's like being in Times Square and you see people at the Chilis... [ROFL1]Quote:
