    Ice cream sandwich with fried French toast biscuits and Oreo crumbles. Mom's iced latte with kahlua, vanilla vodka, cold brew and milk

    So many things to love about Atomic cowboy! Atomic cowboy has it all: breakfast, pizza, burgers and a full bar! Everything I have tried here is delicious. They have great specials. I got a $5 raspberry margarita. It's the $5 drink of the month. They also offer great happy hour deals. The ice cream sandwich is made with fried French toast biscuits and Oreo ice cream and Oreo crumbles. It is $9 but it's huge, definitely for 2 people! We stopped here tonight just for drinks and dessert and it was such a good way to end the evening!

    Aka Denver Biscuit Company. Great brunch spot. Located in walkable area with small shops to check out. Lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Not a Biscuit fan because I've had too many dry ones but was recommended to try this place. Ordered The Beeler which was a Nashville Hot Chicken 4/5 - it was massive. Service was good from bar seating. Maybe I'm a biscuit girl now? Would definitely come back to try others.

    We tried the pizza at Fat Sully's and oh my god it was so good!! I only ate once slice because the pie is MASSIVE. There were plenty of the toppings on it and the ranch on the side is a must order. The garlic knots were also delicious, the pesto sauce they came with was delicious. Would definitely go here again!!

    Just a little fried and an Atomic Old Fashion to end the nite.

    Maybe it's been a long day for this crew and maybe it because I was a new face. The Atomic Crew gravitate and socialize with the local. But it seem to be a nice place to enjoy sit with a few friends and enjoy a drink & pizza. Come early enough you can enjoy the biscuits menu.

    Great service. We were greeted by the host and seated promptly. The coffee is self served and has a lot of options for condiments. The food was just awesome and came in I just the right time , did not notice the wait . The server was very nice and provided excellent service. Great place overall!

    My boyfriend and I were about to fly out of Denver but wanted to make a quick stop here for breakfast before we left cause the last time I was in Denver, these made such an impression on me! The drive was about 10 minutes away from our Airbnb, and there's a designated parking lot just for them and the other nearby businesses. We were greeted promptly and shown to the nearest booth. Server was nice, professional, and attentive to our needs. I had gotten the K-Mack, and my boyfriend had gotten the Winona. I LOVED the infusion of the Korean palate with the daikon and sesame mayo. The crunch of the shredded cabbage also added some texture to the biscuit imo. My boyfriend finished his in record time, so I'm assuming he loved his as well. We had also gotten the hash browns, and it's literally the best thing. Tasty and crunchy; it's a must!

    Stopped here for food and a beer after landing in Denver. My friend picked it and said it was a solid spot. They had a good happy hour $6 drafts, $8 burger and a few other things. We each got burgers and I got a beer. He got an NA cocktail. Solid choice of beers. Friendly staff. The place was decorated for Christmas. It was a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.

    Tried this place for the first time when we were in town. Got biscuits and gravy. It was delicious . Really filling. The service was great. The location of the restaurant is good. Highly recommended.

    I'm very surprised by the lower reviews. I've had nothing but good experiences at this location. I've tried the pizza which is delicious and the biscuits for breakfast which are always a hit. My review today is more about their smashed burger. It was outstanding! The beef was flavorful and the burger was cheesy with soft pillowy buns. The service is always good and it is a very low key place which is my favorite kind of vibe. I wish they would take reservations but if you join the waitlist, it rarely takes long to be seated

    I was a first-timer at this Tennyson restaurant, and it was a positive experience. We visited on a Wednesday trivia night, which added to the visit. There was a good vibe overall; I appreciated the good service and well-laid-out interior, which allows for groups, dates, meetings, and singles. We were adventurous and ordered the white sauce with garlic, bacon, spinach, and basil, which was good. But our eyes were significantly larger than our stomachs, and the 26" order lasted for days in the fridge, which was not necessarily a bad thing! We forgot to get the dipping sauce, but that won't happen next time. We enjoyed some waffle fries to open things up. The cool interior allows for a positive visit.

While we ended up getting different drinks, I have no doubt the espresso martini is yummy. My husband went for the Old Fashioned and I opted for As the Crow Flies - both were very tasty. Not cheap though - about $14 a pop. They had a wide beer selection and a few NA options, which I'm looking forward to trying as they sounded good. The bartender was friendly and skilled. We ended up sitting inside because it was a bit too hot for us, but others were on the patio and it did have ample seating and shade; will likely be lovely in a few weeks. The decor inside was clean with comfortable seating and a variety of bar seats and low tables. They also had virtual golf - an interesting mix. My one complaint is the amount of televisions. It had the amount I'd expect at a sports bar but way above sports bar prices. They could get away with removing 1-2 and still catering to the same crowd while appealing to those (like me) who don't want to have to sit in a corner and strategically place the chairs just to not have to look at a screen.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

Cozy spot for some classy bites and cocktails. I think I probably got off on the wrong foot when I asked for sparkling water instead of flat and found out it was $7 per personal mini bottle (and they don't have club soda). My first time encountering that in Denver in the last 14 years... The cocktail concept is cool: pick a classic, slightly updated, or super creative version from 5 categories (martini, old fashioned, sour, spritz, highball). The spicy mango sour (with mezcal) was awesome -- although I expected egg white on a sour. The martinis were ok... a bit of a let-down in today's collection of Denver martinis at other local spots (think anchovy, sour cream and onion, holy trinity, and old bay). The food was also hit or miss. We loved the cauliflower/potato Bravas with the slightly spicy sauce, as well as the croquettes and their sauce. The tuna crudo was super bland, which is disappointing for $19.

You can tell them your mood, your favorite band, or throw out something totally off the wall (like "green lightning")--and they'll craft something magical on the spot. I decided to take a nostalgic turn and asked for something inspired by an Orange Julius. What I got was a grown-up version of the classic, creamy and citrusy, powered by the unexpected kick of Singani 63 (a Bolivian brandy I didn't know I needed in my life). Totally nailed it. Super refreshing with just the right buzz. They've got a few small bites if the munchies kick in, and the selection of spirits, garnishes, and creativity behind the bar is seriously impressive. Think genie-in-a-bottle energy: whatever you crave, they bring it to life. Also... the view from this cozy, tucked-away spot? Not too shabby at all.

After listening to my preferences of alcohol and allergies, she asked if I wanted my cocktail to be spirit or citrus forward. Sign me up for spirit!

We had already eaten at their restaurant at the front but OK Yeah does serve hand rolls that I must try when I go back.

Found this location listed in the Michelin guide and thought... let's try it out? On the third story it's not your average restaurant set up... we were seated next to the kitchen where we got to see the magic! Johny was our waiter who was absolutely killing it! He and his whole staff were engaged, checking in, and even the chefs were bringing us our plates right to our table! Absolutely just one of the best experiences as we order the "Walk With Us" for 2. Walk with us: 5/5 Banchan style servings or tapas as I'm so used to... are ways of giving you the chefs vision of a story they want to paint with food. A taste so unique that I will say... only gets better as you keep going down this experience. Starters throughout the experience have so much flavor and textures that complement each other. The entrees... they get so much better.... Short rib Wagyu galbi that's so scrumptious and a Korean fried chicken that's crispy as can be with a perfectly cooked chicken through and through that's moist and just the perfect definition of a k-fried chicken! I would say my top 3 favorite bites would be: 1. Shaken rice 2. Oyster mushrooms 3. Entree meet: (chicken & beef) tied The chef who brought us the shaken rice explained the meaning behind the dish and what was in it... the back story is so wholesome and unique that it leaves you heartfelt and just happy to be sharing this experience. The oyster mushrooms have so much flavor... you would need to have them because. They mimic beef so well and they have been seasoned to perfection! Entrees.... Yes! They're that good! They will be a challenge to eat because everything else around you is also super good!!! The only thing I wish I would have tried would have been the milk rolls as they looked so good.... Also, he aware that there is a service charge for the walk with us as it is a full show and display of food. Think of it as a tip, but don't be scared to show them some extra love as it's well worth a star in my book. I hope they get one and I can come back and celebrate it! The venue was lively and everyone was so nice! 5/5 this is what you look for in an experience!

We were seated early and the music was deafening already. Just blasting out of multiple speakers. Then as the restaurant filled up, and everyone started yelling at their tablemates, it was just too loud to enjoy the rest of the meal. Hard floors, no soundproofing and a room full of people enjoying themselves makes for a very loud atmosphere.
