Whats favorite restaurants?

[Icecoldviper]

So many places to go but which ones do you guys frequent the most? I've just been going to the same places lately thinking maybe I could share my favs and find some new ones at the same time. Also what do you usually order there?

First up is Amici's (The one on 44th and Wads). Its a Italian place that my parents have been going to before I was born. I Usually get their baked meatball cannoli but everything is good there. If we don't go there to sit down we will order a few jumbo meatball pizzas to take home.

Second favorite is Las Arcos near 80th and Sheridan. Mexican restaurant that I've gone to forever. Usually order chicken Chimichanga. Margaritas there are good to

44th and wads? I know the owners of the little bar there, great mexican food.
72nd and quebec la casa del rey chicken chimmi with HOT chili
Carrabas sirloin/pork chops or veil marsala with garlic mashed taters and a peroni

Las Delicias

Friggin WONDERFUL Food.
Great service
probably one of the most understated restaurants in the Denver area.
I recommend going in "off-rush" times as it gets full and quick.

I first need to start off by telling you that I'm a Kansas City (Missouri) boy who grew up with great BBQ and was practically teethed with a rib bone. As such, I am a BBQ snob! Sure, there are many different ways of preparing BBQ but, in my opinion, only 1 great way - the KC BBQ way. Look, when you eat ribs, if you're not wearing as much sauce on your face as you're actually consuming, then it can't possibly be good BBQ. Excellent BBQ has to be smoked and swimming in a tomato & brown sugar/molasses based sauce (think KC Masterpiece).

With all that said, I've searched high & low for good BBQ in Colorado and have been disappointed more often than not. There USED to be a good place in Colo Spr, but not anymore. I've only found 2 companies (3 locations) in Colorado that I've been able to enjoy their product:

(1) Smokin' Dave's BBQ & Tap House (Estes Park, CO)

Wonderful BBQ, very good serving sizes (even for a pig like me), and good prices.
The draw-back to Smokin Dave's is their single CO location. I can't drive to Estes Park every time I want to enjoy fine BBQ.

(2) Hickory House Ribs (Parker, CO & Aspen, CO)

OMG! This has got to be the absolute best BBQ this side of the Kansas plains. They're even set up in 2 locations so I can get my fix with just an hour drive instead of having to pack for the trip. You'll be tempted to simply call them "Hickory House", but it seems that there is already a "Hickory House" in Lamar, CO (haven't checked them out - yet). Their prices are good and their serving sizes have me rolling out of the store with a doggy-bag (okay, it's now a styro container) every time.
If you are truly a glutton for punishment, try "The Feast". Even with 3 hearty eaters you'll probably be taking food home with you (definitely if you only have 2 eaters).

I first need to start off by telling you that I'm a Kansas City (Missouri) boy who grew up with great BBQ and was practically teethed with a rib bone. . . .

I'm from the east coast (Massachusetts) and feel that way about GOOD Italian food. Now we've lived here just short of 2 months, but haven't had good Italian food (or good seafood) since we moved. . . And the pizza, what is this crap in Colorado that they call pizza?

We eat out a few times a week, and so far the "best" food we've had here has been at The Kitchen (Pearl St) and Alba (Canyon Blvd) both in Boulder
