    Black and Blue Burger and ONION RINGS
    Linda P.

    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.

    The 5280

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Omg!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Salmon burger lettuce wrapped

    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!

    Ask the Community - 5280 Burger Bar

    Call ahead seating?

    It's first come first serve

    The menu says the have "Wagyu" beef for $6 extra? Is it true wagyu?

    Not sure what you mean by "true" wagyu. The burger patty is ground so it's not like a super-marbled steak or anything. But I ordered it and it was really good.

    Do they still have bison burgers?

    Yes. Just ordered one today 10-07-23

    Is the meat halal?

    I don't exactly know if the meat was halal, but I would imagine the restaurant would indicate somewhere on the menu, if it was. So I would lean more on saying no.

    Are the wings breaded?

    No they are not

    What do you have for Plant Based options?

    Gluten free bun option?

    We don’t have a bun but we have a house made gluten-free friendly wrap! It’s delicious.

    Are y'all trying to be a five guys?

    500x better than Five Guys - not even comparable.

    How is parking?

    One can always try for a meter within three blocks of the place. Alternatively, there is a parking garage beneath the Denver pavilions.

I had the whiskey glaze burger with a veggie patty and sweet potato fries plus a sparkling passion fruit drink. The food was delicious and came out hot. Things had started off slow however. My server was Shannon, and it took him 20 minutes to return with the single water I had ordered when I first showed up. Not sure what that was about, but after that initial issue, it was smooth sailing. I like that you can pay for your bill on the table screens, it made the process easy.

    Yard House says they have "Great Beer... with the world's largest selection of draft beer, Great…read morefood & Great Music". They play classic rock & it's loud. A little hard to have a conversation across the table. However, the food was wonderful. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Sunday & they were relatively busy. Yard House has been around for 30 years with tons of locations all over the U.S. This location is in the downtown Sheraton Hotel & of course being downtown parking can be a challenge. Yard House doesn't take reservations but they do have a Waitlist. Service was great...we were seated immediately & greeted by our friendly & attentive Server. Drinks & Apps came fast. We had the Fried Calamari & Miguel's Queso Dip to start. The crispy Calamari was nice & tender - served with two yummy sauces, a Spicy Tomato & a Roasted Jalapeño Tarter. The Queso Dip was good as well but we needed more of everything - dip, tortillas & chips. We had a couple of entrees. First, was a 20 oz Bone-in Korean Rib Eye with Grilled Shrimp & Chili Garlic Fries. This was a huge plate of deliciousness. The steak was cooked perfectly & marinated in a strong soy ginger marinade which I enjoyed. The Grilled Shrimp were a nice compliment & the Fries were spicy. In hindsight I should have chosen the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes as my side to balance out the dish better. Our second entree was Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, this was good as well - grilled chicken & creamy Alfredo. What a fun place to go with tasty food.

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.

I was unimpressed with the quality & quantity of the food, especially based on the Mile high prices. My burger was very flat, almost like a cheap hamburger patty from a fast food restaurant.

    Great Rooftop Lounge for Date Night and Socializing…read more I visited 54thirty Rooftop Lounge for a date night and had a great experience. When we arrived, most of the covered seating and heater areas were already taken, so we ended up sitting in one of the uncovered sections. As it turned out, that was a blessing because the views were amazing. From where we were seated, we had beautiful views of downtown Denver and the surrounding cityscape. Between the skyline, lights, and rooftop atmosphere, it created a memorable evening. What impressed me most was the ambiance. The lounge had a lively but relaxed energy, and people were friendly and approachable. It felt like the kind of place where you could enjoy a date, meet new people, network, or simply unwind with friends over drinks and conversation. My date ordered food, but I honestly don't remember everything he had. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food, but since this is a rooftop lounge, the atmosphere was really the star of the show for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return for the views, the social atmosphere, the drinks, and the opportunity to meet interesting people. Perfect for: Date nights, networking, socializing, drinks with friends, and enjoying Denver's skyline.
