How is it that Q 4 U up in Frisco hasn't had a mention?

I think it's the most underrated place in Summit and again, always like supporting the local places.
Aurora:
+1 to The Athenian. They're amazing people and the food is more than 2 people should be able to eat per plate. They also have Greek beer, which for us Hopsters is pretty awesome.
Also, there's a Pho place just north of University hospital on Peoria, on the west side of the street that's absolutely to die for. I don't remember the name but they're amazing. Looks like a little hole in the wall place.
Piper Inn on Iliff and Parker has always had the best wings I've ever had.
Sushi Katsuya- ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI...sound bad?! Well it's made to order like any other sushi bar and it's $26pp for dinner. Absolutely fantastic sushi and service is very decent. I recommend hitting it either early or late dinner and not in the middle of the rush. Takes a long time when you go during dinner rush. My wife and I go there at least once a month.
Hana Sushi is on Quincy & Buckley and if one of the 2 owners are there's it's absolutely amazing and rivals Sonoda's...if not, go for happy hour $1/piece.
Dragon Boat Sushi off Iliff and I-225 delivers Sushi all the way to us at almost Tower and Hampden and it's pretty decent. Of course I've had better but for a sushi delivery place it's pretty amazing. I recommend the Raising Sun Roll.
Armando's- Just west of Smoky Hill and Buckley on the North side of the road has the best Italian food for the town hands down. Service and recovery makes it better. I've eaten there so much I've had mess ups and they've always been fixed without an issue and usually have something comp'd w/o asking for it. They also have ridiculous pizza for carry out.
Pitchers off Mexico and Chambers (NE corner) actually has some pretty good breakfast. Also, their chicken philly is pretty good too.
Massino's by Albertson's on Buckley and Mississippi has amazing food if the owner is working...normally during the day. I used to order delivery pizza because their spicy chicken pizza was something out of this world but I think they got too busy and the owner cut back his own hours and hired some morons to run nights. I bet they unfortunately lost a lot of business. Nonetheless, their lunch still stays a top in my eyes.
Dumitri's off Jewell & Havana has to be a staple around here for breakfast. The owner always floats around there and will help no matter how busy he is. Unfortunately, I think the cooks have gone down hill the last couple times I eaten there and I expect them to be gone shortly. Sad to say, but if there's an issue with a place I drop $30 biweekly I make sure the owner knows my thoughts. Especially since I've been coming there for about 20 years.
Dry-Dock Brewery- SW corner of Hampden and Chambers. They have no food...but you are welcome to bring some in and even order pizza and stuff there...I've done it. They've won many awards for their beer and have a brew shop attached to it for us homebrewers. Amazing beer, decent service, but knowledgeable folks and hell...can't beat a great beer. [Beer]

Trying to think where I've been lately that is post worthy...
Ah, Euclid Hall on 14th street between Market and Larimer. Same chef that runs Bistro Vendome and Rioja.
Very different food than at her other two places; Euclid Hall is more like high end pub fare.
Best thing I had on the menu there: the Bratwurst burger. All pork, so I was able to eat it. Damn, that thing was good. The lamb poutine is amazing too...
Not sure if anyone else is on Yelp, but I post a lot about where I go on there. Here's my link if anyone else uses it
ghettodub.yelp.com
You got that right! Best Wings for sure! And all the Chinese food there is really good! Sounds weird but try it...Quote:

The steaks are always perfect.
(And for the price... they d*mn well better be!)
Not sure if any has mentioned it, and no, I didn't feel like going through 13 pages to find out [Tooth]
This is the second time I have eaten there, but the wife and I went there on Friday for her birthday dinner (1 day early) and holy crap... do I eat myself sick every time. It's just too great, and the essentially buffet style, without being crappy buffet foods, is pretty much amazing.
It's similar to Rodizio, if you haven't been to Texas de Brazil. It's in Northfield stapleton behind the Macy's, and if you sign up for your birthday and anniversary, they send you a two for one coupon. Pretty incredible meal for a great price.
Highly recommend it.

Craftwood Inn in Manitou Springs is probally the best resteraunt in the COS area. It's pricey, but the food is outstanding. Lots of Colorado "game" meats cooked perfectly.
Like game, have extra to spend on a meal? The Fort, pricey but damn good food, love the rattlesnake appetizer and the wild boar is delicious.
If you're ever in Evergreen 2 great places to check out- Tuscany Tavern, best Italian Food this side of Lakewood, and The Wood Cellar- great all American food and their "Adult Mac&Cheese" is one of the best dishes... both pretty decent on price, won't make you put the house up to afford it.
Tuscany Tavern is pretty decent. My mom/our paint store did all the painting in there.
Back in the day, my favourite pizza was up in that neck of the woods, too. Guido's in Genessee.
The Wildflower Cafe in downtown Evergreen was always awesome breakfast too
Oh yeah, forgot about your parents pain business... I know the owner personally- Rick, he's a former NFL player, but shhh, he played for the Raiders before a short stint with the Broncos.Quote:

Santa Fe Bar & Tavern at Santa Fe and 13th in Denver. Good tasting food, good prices on food, decent prices on drinks.
I ended up spending this past Thursday up in Denver. Did the usual stuff; hit several of the gun shops and spent some $$$, visited my gunsmith, Lowry Airplane museum, ect.
The highlight of the day was having lunch with one of my best friends at the Perfect Landing restaurant at the Centennial Airport. I didnt even know the restaurant existed, her idea.
We made reservations for a window seat and while the place was packed, the table was waiting for us.
Lots of cool airplane stuff on the walls and it overlooks the executive ramp so you get to watch all the big wigs come and go.
And the food was excellent, not the usual FBO gag-and-puke or vending machine fare.

very cool.
Their menu suprised me too. Their corned beef hash and eggs was awesome! Pueblo Municipal Airport has a great cafe too. Try their version of the slopper.
Good restaurant, been there a number of times. I have some customers at the airport there.
I loved going there! great food and I love the view[Beer]Quote:

I take my boys there once in a while. They love to watch the planes while we eat breakfast. I've never had their lunch or dinner food but have heard it is great.
had all you could eat lobster one time, clean shop and after 2 hours they were out of lobster. best 80 bucks of my life.
Used to eat lunch there when I worked near by. Good healthy food. Got to sit next to Pat Bowlen once, it was pretty cool.
When I worked at APA (Centennial airport) I ate there at least once a week. Good food. This winter Jim will probably run the weeknight special again. Its $25-30 for 2 including a bottle of wine. Its all a pretty good menu. Thier lunch sandwich with soup is one of the best deals.
I have a buddy who is a private pilot and we used to rent a plane and head to another airport for lunch. Worked out great. Amazing but airport food is great, when it is the small airports.
We go for sunday brunch. I love sitting there and watching the planes.
Its a favorite. Their specials on Thursdays can't be beat.
Papa Ramono's, Cozmos, Islands, Cheba Hut and breakfast burritos from Big City Burrito.
And why are any of these better than McDonalds? :confused:Quote:

has Hideaway Steakhouse (112 and Zuni?) in Westminster had mention yet? I've been a couple times, and been "wowed" both times
good beef (and other stuff) cooked over lump wood not gas. a little pricey for the suburbs of denver. I met the owners a few times before they opened, real good people and a talented chef that likes "local" products
Anyone been to Tequila Joes in Parker? My wife found restaurant.com and it a good deal if your going all out, app. and desert, but read the fine print before you get anything.
Um.. Cause they taste better?Quote:

sucked bigtime. fitly, bad food. I've seen truck stops better.
saw a blurb in the gazette online yesterday that said they're closing down to focus on making their "famous" salsa.
gratifying to see a place that gave you a lousy meal closing.
good mexican in the springs = pueblo viejo.
the peper pod in hudson has some good ole boy down home cookin they cook a pretty mean steak also and the soups are awesome
Agree! The last time I was there (regrettably it's been a year or more) I had their prime rib... love it. Like butter!Quote:
