    Simple salad on HH.
    sandy b.

    On the HH were 3 choices $7 x. I ordered all 3. The cauliflower and the broccoli dishes were standouts, so good. The flank steak was cooked to perfection and delish. My branzino was ok. The waitress was very personable. The large rectangular room was sparse but pleasant.

    Reuben sandwich and coleslaw.

    This is a new neighborhood restaurant. I chose it because it was close to the Botanic Gardens. I had a Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. Best Reuben I've had in a long, long time! Just enough meat and sauerkraut for taste buds, but not so much that it spilled out all over the plate. Very modern vibe, we were there early, but by 6:00 the place was half full. Would definitely go back.

    This is my new favorite neighborhood spot! I went with my husband and two kids under three for the first time on Friday! We were so impressed! The staff was incredibly nice, the ambiance was great and the food was AMAZING! We thought it was so great we came back on Sunday and brought my parents who were visiting from out of state. We started with the crunchy broccoli and bread! Wow! The broccoli was incredible and had an amazing crunch. The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread came with three different spreads (the garlic butter was heavenly). I got the chicken kale salad and it was great! I had order envy of my husband - he got the mushroom burger! The staff was understanding of our son's allergies and were able to accommodate him which always makes a restaurant stand out to me! For any parents out there...they have a nice changing table in the bathroom! I attached a photo because I think it is the details like a nice changing table that can make such a big difference when visiting a restaurant with young children! Thank you Briar Patch! We can't wait to come back!

    Vibe is a little off. Blank white walls/very clean and sterile looking. Restaurant could definitely hang some art and cool pieces of decor to make it warmer and more welcoming. Service was good. My whiskey cocktail was great and all of our food was good. Their sister restaurant Briar Commons, is better in my opinion but this concept is newer so may still be getting into the groove of things.

    French onion soup
    Emma C.

    Excited to have a new neighborhood spot to try out! 3.5 stars if I could do that. Came for dinner with my grandparents and everyone had a great time. I got the French onion soup which was delicious, and then my grandparents split a salad and a few small plates. The food was good, not amazing, but we got pretty simple things like roasted broccoli and fries. The service was lovely! The main thing keeping this from more stars is the fact that the ambiance was quite off, everything was white (walls, tables, backsplash of bar ect) and the lights were veryyy bright, making it a bit jarring coming in for dinner. Some softer lighting would be a great change in my opinion.

    Mushroom risotto with asparagus, add Steak.

    We def will be back. More pros than drawbacks. Service was fine/kinda slow ; server was very nice. Stools on the Bar high top side of the restaurant were pretty uncomfortable. I also wish they had purse hooks. I'd rather wait for a normal table next time than sit on those stools again. Simple but cute table decor. Cool wine glasses and yummy wine. Reuben sandwich and fries were really fantastic. Stole the show. Mushroom risotto with steak was decent... risotto was a touch underdone IMO and just barely warm. Medium rare steak was a good quality cut but a bit blue. The Handhelds may be the way to go next time. Again, will def be back to try more menu items here and I hope they make it.

    We've been to Briarpatch several times now, and it really feels like Congress Park finally has a great neighborhood restaurant. On a recent Saturday night, we had fantastic margaritas made by our lovely bartender, Ryan--easily some of the best we've had in the area. We started with the tomato, carrot, and coconut soup, which was outstanding: comforting, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The veggie burger was clearly made from scratch and served with crispy fries, and it absolutely delivered. Overall, we left happy and already looking forward to our next visit. P.S. Chef Amanda delivered a cupcake on our way out which was incredible!

    Food was amazing, staff was great, place was clean and updated! Happy hour deals were good, and drinks were yummy! We're already planning to go back for a date night! So glad this is in the neighborhood.

    Ordered med well. Served half alive.

    The restaurant was under staffed. So the service was slow. The server was very nice and helpful. The food was mid. The chef was kind enough to come out and tell the table next to us how she worked at a Michelin star restaurant. Unfortunately it didn't reflect in the food that night. I have seen at least 4 restaurants in this spot and all were good with consistent food and still closed. I suspect this place will follow the same fate.

    My wife and kids gave Briar Patch a try for the first time on our "Family Friday Night Out". My wife and I took a "risk" by going to what we thought might be too upscale of an ambiance/too "snooty" for a toddler and baby. However, we were proven wrong on the attitude of the staff; they could not have been more accommodative to us/our kids (the kids menu was so thoughtful) and they took such pride in their restaurant opening. It's easy to write a 5 of 5 review when you see such character in a restaurant alongside such flavorful food at a reasonable price point.

    A solid crowd for Thursday.

    Just found this place. Fantastic and reasonably priced food. Chef's designer burgers are to die for plus real pommes frittes style fries. They have a full menus besides burgers also. all very fresh snd interesting ingredients. Sue, our server, was wonderful and the owner stopped by our table as well. I am so glad to see a new place like this! Great food and great attitude.

    Kids menu-- Brunch
    Brandy W.

    Wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Solid beer menu and great food. Kids menu is on point and the environment is perfect for families. You can tell they really did the building update right and the staff is settling into really making this something special. Cheers to many years of success.

After reading other reviews and checking out photos beforehand, I knew the Colorado lamb was a must-order. It's not something I usually go for, but it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Absolutely worth the hype. We also ordered the birria short rib and hickory smoked picanha, and both were solid choices. The shrimp and corn grits were amazing, and I really loved the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Other dishes like the chickpea croquettes and the chili relleno were also pretty good and rounded out the meal nicely. The wait staff was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe. The only minor downside was that the outdoor heaters were a bit too hot, but that's a very small nitpick. Overall, an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Great food, great service, and a place I'd happily come back to.

Additionally, the portions were very small- I'd say that the mac and cheese was a child-sized portion. One positive is that they don't upcharge for sweet potato fries. Edit: looking at the photos for the brisket sandwich on Yelp, the portion for that also seems smaller for delivery.

    Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio
