The burger was fantastic. Smash burger --wasn't traditional with crispy edges but ohhhh it was so good. If you're craving a really top notch burger --this is your spot read more

The service was good. The ambiance of was like a sports bar so you can arrive as you are no need to dress up fancy. For this place to specialize in burgers I was a little disappointed with the lack of flavor the beef had. I also order truffle fries that only had shredded cheese on top. I don't think the fries were as truffled as they could have been. The food was overall okay for a quick bite. read more

Burgers today for lunch prior to returning home and the 5280 Burger Bar was on the radar. A family sport's hub with more than traditional bar food, multi large screened televisions, and high tops. Healthy options are available. The Connecticut style lobster roll was stuffed with warm lobster meat and a generous helping of melted butter. This selection was a solid! An additional 8 huge and heavily crusted Viadalia sweet onion rings came out piping hot. They were a nice tasty treat. The roasted beet salad with multi colored beets, feta, mixed greens, toasted pepitas, green apple match sticks, and an orange vinegarette was tasty, but over-sauced. The food at 5280 was fine for a family oriented sport's bar. The service was on task and not over-bearing. If you are having a family outing and looking for a nicer venue, give 5280 Burger Bar a chance. read more

Here is a new one I haven't experienced before - Happy hour menu That's good but when I went to order a drink I was told later that I order a drink that wasn't a Well drink. Either the waiter didn't communicate it properly or their menu didn't clearly list it. Either way I was made to feel like I was to blame for ordering a "non- well" cocktail that qualifies for a cocktail. I guess that's one way to win the battle but lose the war. I won't come back. read more

The burger was really good and a bit spicy. However it was smaller than expected. Ryan, my server, was awesome and attentive without giving stalker vibes. I hated the onion rings. They were an inch thick, the coating kept falling off, and they weren't crisp. read more

5280 Burger Bar - Black and Blue Burger and ONION RINGS - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

5280 Burger was unfortunately a miss for me. I was in town for a work conference and staying nearby, so the location made it an easy walk for dinner. I ordered ahead online and customized "The 5280" burger with a bison patty. The restaurant was easy to find on the lower level of the Denver Pavilions (shopping mall) and pickup was easy, with my food ready by the estimated time provided. That said, the meal itself was disappointing. The bison burger was noticeably lacking in flavor. I also ordered a small side of fries, but those also missed the mark and lacked the crispy texture I was hoping for. The convenience and smooth pickup experience were appreciated, but based on the food, this would not be a spot I would rush back to during my short stay. read more

5280 Burger Bar - The 5280 - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

They have a lot of delicious-sounding burger options on the menu and I was looking forward to it. I got the burger with guac and bacon and the toppings were so good, but the actual burger patty itself was so bland. It's like they don't season their meat at all. The onion rings were also disappointing. I don't know what they bread their onions with, but it was thick, not crunchy, and again pretty bland. read more

This was the best burger and onion rings I've ever had in my life. You could tell everything was fresh and just 10/10. So many burgers but this Wagyu burger was STUNNING. I need the onion rings daily. Service was so friendly and kind. The ambiance was warm and friendly. read more

5280 Burger Bar - The Perfect Burger - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Yeck--everything was a bust. Smashburger was just 2 overcooked patties (no sign of smash or viable burger), onion rings and fried pickles were flaccid and greasy, bourbon blackberry drink had no carbonation (despite asking for a second ginger ale to top it off--no bubbles), milkshake was chocolate milk and green chile was just weird. Wait staff were sweet but forgetful--a bad day perhaps read more

We decided to try out this burger spot since it's highly rated and had a lot of reviews. We ordered the jalapeños popper burger and what the gauc burger, both were decent burgers. Although, they were specialty burgers - both burgers seem a little underwhelming and just standard burgers. Nothing too exciting. The fries were okay, a bit overcooked. Prices were a little steep for what it was. Service was okay. Our server was nice, but seemed like he didn't want to be there. read more

5280 Burger Bar - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

There are a few unique things here to know! One, and I'm not sure how long they've been doing this, but they give you a free house drink with the purchase of a movie or show ticket. The Regal cinema is right in this same complex, so that's really nice to get a free drink! Two is, they have ice cream drinks! Kind of a unique thing to find. I don't often go the sweet route for drinks, but I will say, ice cream drinks are very tasty! I haven't had one at this establishment, and I'd have to be in the mood for something like that, but just seeing them on the menu was something worth noting. I have only eaten here once so I don't feel I have enough info to review the food at this point. You can kind of miss the place if you don't walk right by it, being a little bit tucked away on 16th mall. read more

5280 Burger Bar - Omg! - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We have been skeptical to try another burger place because it is not often they are cooked well. We got 2 burgers and 2 hotdogs (they let you mix and match!) because we could not choose. Everything sounded so good, and I'll tell ya what- it tasted even better! Cooper served us up at the bar and was nothing short of spectacular service. The environment was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We will frequently be returning as the food was phenomenal, the burgers were cooked PERFECTLY. Thanks, Cooper, for making our first visit a great experience! read more

This was close to our hotel and was highly rated so we went in. It is a cute place right off the street. They have outdoor seating which is nice. One of the highlights was the I can't decide burger which you can pick 2 different burgers. We actually went back the next day to try something else. I wasn't as impressed at the lunch special which turned out to be one of the can't decide ones. I had the prime burger which unfortunately was way over cooked. The best thing was the stuffed tots. The service was great and we were seated quickly. read more

On a random afternoon we found ourselves walking through the Pavillion along 16th street. The 5280 is a quaint burger joint tucked away within the shops. There was plenty of seating amd no real lunch rush. Being vegetarian, I was drawn to their Greek falafel burger with hummus and greek spread. To my dismay, they were out of the falafel burgers! But, our waitress asked the kitchen to use the falafel balls in their apps to make a patty... at my suggestion. And they did! Turned out just fine and tasty! The Perfect burger lunch special and a the fried chicken burger were equally delicious! Great customer service and a relaxed atmosphere topped off the afternoon. read more

My friend and I were staying nearby and stopped to grab food. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio. I ordered the perfect burger and she got to birria burger. My brother was pretty good but I didn't feel it was amazing. I found myself reaching for the yummy fries more. My friend said her burger was great. We got a large fry to share between us and couldn't finish them. It's a bummer the burgers don't come with fries but overall this was a positive experience. If I could go back I'd try the two jumbo sliders for a chance to try more! read more

Arrived on a Friday around 1:45pm was sat immediate in a high top around the bar area. Was pleased to see the menu prices were actually cheaper than the recent menu photos I was viewing on Yelp before arriving. Disappointed to learn the burgers do not come with any sides. Ordered a large side of fries for $7.99 to split with my partner. They were delicious but wayyy too salty. I order the Baja Colorado burger with the impossible burger for $2 extra. The party was decently burnt but it was a good burger all together. The bathroom was weirdly super dark which was quite creepy. The service was quick and good. read more

A lot of advertising hype for a mediocre burger. Dry and tasteless. The fries and onion rings were good but not good enough to save the meal. The service had some challenges, it seems the place is short staffed to the point customers suffer waiting. read more

We were craving a burger... This place with the bill! We were a little confused because there are so many 5280 restaurants that are all in the same area but separate. So it was a little confusing... But we found our burger! I got a standard burger, lettuce wrapped, and my husband got a salmon burger also lettuce wrapped. Both were cooked to perfection! The fries were incredible and a side of mac & cheese? Always a must! Our server was super friendly and he joked around a lot. And the vibes of the restaurant were really casual and fun. It would be a fun place to watch a game or hang out with friends! read more

They didn't ask how to cook the burger and brought it out very very pink, there was still blood and the center was cooler than the rest of the burger so it was barley cooked. The fry's were nasty and on top of that the sides aren't included in the cost of the $18 burger. We brought up the raw burger to the waiter and he was very dismissive and when we told him it was too pink he just said "oh, so you don't want a box?" Then snatched the plate from the table. Will not be back here and as someone who works at one of the hotels next to it. I will not be recommending it. read more

I've been here before, but honestly this is one of my favorite burger joints in Denver. The Burger bar does not disappoint. It was the first place I stopped once I got downtown a don was tired and hungry. There are many different types of burgers here and I have tried many of them - I can;t say that any of them have disappointed. They are well presented and come with great sides (Try the Brussels sprouts!) this time I got the fries (I know basic- but they are great fries too!). The ambience is very may sports-bar restaurants vibe, the servers are generally friendly and the food is great! read more

Cool vibes as you come in the place but was a little concerned how empty the place was at 5:30. Should have listened to that concern. As a businessman from out of town, was in the mood for a burger while downtown. Had wandered the area over the days prior to our visit and thought the place had a good ambience. So, since we wanted a burger, we decided on the burger bar. When a place has burger bar in their name, one thing should stick out on the menu. Had a hard time finding a burger that stuck from a relatively small list of burger options. With a small number of tasty options that sounded good, decided to get the "I can't Decide Burger", which is two super sliders from the menu options. Cool idea, poor execution. For a $20 burger (two super sliders) was a little surprised it didn't come with a side. So that side salad was an additional cost. Ordered fried pickles which were dry and not much taste to them. The jalapeño margarita was a good choice, but that was the best thing we had. The two of us order four "sliders" which presented well when it go to the table. But the flavor and texture were unimpressive. Dry and flavorless patties from a place with burger in their name was frustrating. For two people to spend $90 for dinner to get mediocre sliders, dry fried pickles, a side salad (with tasteless Blue Cheese dressing) and one drink apiece was a disgrace and we wouldn't recommend. read more

Great burger made perfectly. It went perfectly with the half and half fries/onion rings!

This is a good spot for a burger in downtown Denver. I was at a conference nearby and didn't want to eat a convention center hot dog. A quick search on yelp uncovered this burger spot so off we went. Excellent fries and a very good burger. Service was friendly and prompt and the space was comfortable. The menu is pretty vast so you're sure to find something you like. If you're in downtown and want a quiet burger joint, 5280 should be on your radar. read more

So the wife and I stoped by here for a drink the first night. The bartender was awesome. The food looked amazing told him we would be back the next night. So glad we came back the burgers we got were amazing. The beer and drinks were so yummy and it was nice to sit and watch Monday Night Football with all the screens. The people are so friendly I highly recommend this place! Cheers there as play good music there!! read more

We had a gift card to use and decided to stop in an a Saturday and get some good burgers. The service was awesome and she was super upbeat. We ordered cocktails and various burgers and a side of mac n cheese. The drinks were good. I ordered a mojito but didn't read that it was spicy and it had jalapenos in it. It was hard to choke down but that was my own fault for not reading the whole thing. My burger was good, but the bun started to fall apart. I ended leaving some of bun and eating the rest of the burger. Overall good spot. I was shocked to see how slow it was on a weekend though. read more

Great spot, great good. I had the chicken bites, light and crispy- I got all the sauces to try the honey and bbq were my favorite. Truffle fries were good and my fiance has the wagu burger and was obsessed read more

Visited in February 2025 during a conference and enjoyed my time. I sat at the bar and ordered "The Durango" burger and was impressed. The jalapeno cream cheese was something I hadn't had on a burger before but was intrigued when I saw it on the menu. There was almost no jalapeno flavor/heat (which I was thankful for). The burger patty was so juicy that I didn't even really need any condiments. While we were there, the service was pretty quick and the staff were friendly. I would go back again! read more

We stopped by the ice cream parlor to get some treats for the kids. Their bubble gum and cookie monster ice cream was a hit! We decided to sit outside the patio since the weather was beautiful.

Over all The service was quick and the waitress was very respectful. read more

Located inside the 16th street mall this burger bar is great for lunch or meeting up with friends. Inside had plenty of seating with a full stocked bar. And an ice cream parlor.

Lunch comes with option for side salad or fries and a drink. I really enjoyed my burger although it was kid sized. It had good flavor and tested good. My friend opted for the clam chowder but she didn't care if. I got the side salad, i was satisfied with my meal. Waiter was attentive. read more

We stumbled across this restaurant while walking 16th street. The happy hour is what got us in the door. There wasn't much of a crowd. We chose the bar over a table and the bartender did not miss. The food was okay. There was a slight mix up in the order , but it was remedied in seconds. Great happy hour moment .the restrooms were dark not well lit and a little dated. read more

Still! Waiting for our food... Trying to catch a movie - and the waitress took forever to even acknowledge us! Now we tried to order something super simple and it has taken more than half an hour! Our waitress said, "oh yeah, I saw your food in the window... But I guess it hasn't gotten to you yet... Like, "come on! If our food is up and in the window - why let it just get cold for somebody else to bring if you're not busy ??!? The tables around us have already gotten food and left!... Our waitress is truly out to lunch!! - Will never ever be back! // lol!! got the food - freezing cold, french fries, and burnt , dried out fish for their fish and chips... My friend got the French dip - how do you screw that up?? Food was awful! Really, truly, terrible! I would avoid this place at all costs - because it's clearly going to cost you... Time, money, and frustration. Good luck. read more

Food was just okay. The service was just okay. The fried pickles - well just don't order them. However, the loaded tater tots, now those were good. They don't tell you that the lunch special is smaller hamburger, a much smaller hamburger, so it really isn't much of a special. read more

Man! The most delicious French dip I have ever had in life is here at 5280....oh my goodness, when I tell you robust flavor, delicious bread and fresh meat! It's a 10 out of 10! Again, first time to Denver, Co and loved it. Ambiance is chic and subtly sexy. Go and go again! read more

Without a doubt, this was one of the best burger places that I've been to in a long time. I am glad we found it in Denver. This was another shop just a five minute walk from our Hotel. This is a big shop with plenty of outdoor seating too. We were greeted well and the four of us brought over to our seating. Our server came right over, introduced them self and took a drink order. When they returned with the drinks they took our dinner order and answered any questions. When you come here, it's all about the burgers. They have so many to choose from and you still have the option of making your burger package. We did supplent the fries with an order of mac 'n cheese. They also have hotdogs and chicken. Something for everyone. The waiter came back with everyone's order after a short wait. PLENTY of food coming to the table. Everyone enjoyed their selection. Burgers with onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, guac among other items. Everyone enjoyed. I found the burger was cooked well, juicy, hot and extremely tasty. Great fries too. Well cooked with a nice crunch. Helene was happy with Chicago Hot Dogs and Mary enjoyed the chicken. I would definitely come back if I get the opportunity. This was a good dining experience.
