I was instructed by a friend to go to The Rib House in Longmont. Ribs were excellent! Owner is a very nice guy too.
Same here. Angelo's in Ft Worth.Quote:

The Smoke Yard, in Idaho Springs, is good too.
If they have good beer on tap I’ll have to check them out the next time I’m there. Thanks.Quote:

Friend were in town and we went to Forest Room Five in Denver. It was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. I'm pretty laid back and don't really complain about stuff, so this is significant. I even signed up to Yelp to make a short review. Terrible service, we didn't even get half of our order. I read some other Yelp reviews and it seems to be stupid people giving 5 stars, and normal people giving one star. The hipster crowd was infuriating, but comes with the area so it was to be expected. A lot of the Yelp reviews complain that the staff all seem stoned. Usually, people blaming every bad experience on recently legalized weed bothers me, but that certainly seemed to be the case with our experience. I give this place 100 thumbs down. Do not go there. One of the five star reviews even claimed "Lots to explore, best done under the influence of something." Really? If I have to be under the influence to enjoy a restaurant, it's not good. Don't go.

River and Wood in Boulder was great. Took my wife and we had a lovely time. The menu sounds like it should not work, but tasted great. Local beers that are not your standard fare. Cookies and milk for desert capped of a great experiance
Stopped by there this weekend and they were closed. Sound like it was sudden. Too bad, they had good food.Quote:

Don't think less of me, but after Tanner Saturday I went to Stanley Market place in Yuppieville with the Hip Cool Urbanites and went to Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen. Long time since I have had a tayor pork roll sandwich.
The do a good corned beef but this place knocks it out of the park. Nothing like washing down a killer corned beef sandwich with a bottle of YooHoo.Quote:

I still remember the old commercial for YooHoo with Yogi Berra; "I'm me-hee for YooHoo" lol.
We ate dinner at a place called La Fogata in the DTC area, next to Microcenter. Mexican restaurant.
It was delicious...although too spicy for a bland palate like mine. Anyone that can handle something spicier than A1 or Old El Paso's medium taco sauce will enjoy it even more than I did.
There are other La Fogata's around town and they are always a solid choice. Used to eat lunch at the one in DTC when I worked down there.
Excellent place for Mexican food, but my wife agrees with you on it being too spicey (and she's the Hispanic one in the marriage lol). We used to frequent the one off of Hwy 7 when we lived up north, excellent house margaritas.Quote:

I don't spend a lot of time in this thread, but Pizza Ranch in Nebraska is where it's at! Cactus Bread with soft serve for the win.
I had Pizza Ranch in Pueblo, and I was a huge fan.Quote:

Pizza Ranch:
Never been to the Pueblo store (didn't know they were that far south ), or any in Nebraska, but we usually hit it at least once each year in Sturgis.
It's close to where we stay, and it's a good option for buffet, or a broasted chicken fix.
And it doesn't seem like they raise their prices during the rally. That's a plus.

Pizza Ranch? Gross.
Meh, to each their own, I grew up looking forward to CiCi's when we went to visit family in Texas (before they came to CO). Some of us don't require the finest New York style pizza in order to be happy.Quote:

ETA, actually, I've seen Pizza Ranch out here more than any other restaurant. To be fair, I'm leaving Lincoln and driving around in farm land all day, but still, they are all over.
Its all about my hometown favorite pizza: Fargos in Colorado Springs
I would rather touch an electric fence than eat at a Cici's, so I was very skeptical of Pizza Ranch. I was assured by my friends that it was good, and they weren't lying.
Moved to appropriate thread.
To be fair, I haven't eaten at a CiCi's for around 20 years, and that was only in Texas, I was merely using it as a point of reference for what I grew up eating.Quote:

The sides were tasty and the price was fair. I liked that it was like CiCi's (which had closed down) but slightly better for slightly more money. Since it opened that place has really gone downhill. The pizza has gotten worse and worse and the prices keep going up. We gave up on it years ago but about once every year or so we forget how bad it is and make the mistake of going again. This occurred again just a few weeks ago in fact. Going in less frequently also allows us to see how far it has gone downhill versus when you go regularly and slowly adjust to the bar being lowered. This time the pizza was meh, the chicken was terrible and the sides were also trash. The prices were higher than ever (I think we paid nearly $30 for two people for crap food... but boy there was a lot of it if we could stomach it!) and the service was the worst it's ever been. They took the ice cream toppings away, I imagine because someone's jackass kids were horsing around time after time with them. The chicken was tiny little crappy pieces that was WAY overcooked and dry when before it was juicy and tender. The pizza options were picked over and not good. When I requested something I was told "sure" and it never came out. In the past at least they got the requests right. I don't know man, this place has been a real let-down and I imagine that's why it's nowhere near as full as it was after it opened when we used to go. It'll be at least another year before we make that mistake and I honestly don't know why anyone would eat there. I took a look around at the clientele while we were there and I guess I just no longer fit that demographic which is something to be proud of IMO. These days I prefer quality to quantity and it shows in my waste line & workouts. That doesn't mean I always eat perfectly but this place is just a pit of despair and the fact that you can eat as much of it as you want is the only draw. For the same price I can go 5min away and get all the Nordy's I want which is real, honest to goodness actual meat if what I want is all I can eat.
I hope to never touch an electric fence again...CiCi's pizza is ok for what it is

Chuy’s on Arapahoe. We gave it a 6 outta 10. Fun, friendly chips and salsa were yummy. Sopapillas where on point. Will try again with different sauces.
Tacobe, Indi.....I mean Native American food. 9 outta 10. Flavorful and interesting. Little pricey but not the same old same old. Right across from Chuy’s.
Found a new place, Rock Bottom Brewery. The one I've gone to is in Highlands Ranch just off Lucent.
Menu isn't large, but they seem to do everything on it very well. And they only serve their own brewery beers.
On their entrees, I've had their Jambalaya several times, it's excellent. Others in my party have had the 10oz sirloin, the bison burger, and the bacon mac and cheese, and everything was goood.
They've got some great appetizers as well, we've had the Jalape?o Pretzel Stix, and the Bacon Jalapeno poppers, both were great. They have a bunch of locations around denver, and one in the springs as well.
Meh. I?ve been to a couple of them. Not a huge fan.Quote:
