Delicious!! I'm so happy to have discovered this incredible, local place. They have delicious options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also have great looking cocktails (which I'll definitely be back for!) and a coffee and tea bar. It is a casual place and is kind of cafeteria style. It's a great place to meet someone for lunch. It is usually pretty busy for lunch but I've always found a spot at the long communal table and received my food relatively quickly (about ten minutes). Service is friendly and welcoming! All food I have tried is outstanding quality! I highly recommend the madras curry bowl! I have also had the turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich and the chicken pesto sandwich. Both are served warm (panini style) and come with yummy house made chips. Every time I come in I see more things I want to try and I will keep coming back. When I checked in on Yelp I got a free chocolate chip cookie that was delicious as well! read more

I'll give this place another shot down the road, but I was not impressed today for lunch. First off, it's a walk up type place where you order at the counter, take a number and they bring it out to you. The employees sat there staring behind the counter at us and those around us like we were supposed to know this. Speak up, people. Second, their sandwiches appeared to be all pre-made and just required the staff to heat it up or add toppings to it. Disappointing to say the least. Lastly, the food was mediocre. My husband's sandwich was flavorful but the chips were lackluster. The sweet potato tater tots he ordered needed to be seasoned and their green condiment on the side tasted like an unripe banana. My madras curry over rice was spicy and the naan was crisp and salty, but the rice was undercooked and cold, resulting in a lukewarm dish. Their homemade root beer...gross and flat. I will give props to their fresh squeezed orange juice though. I'd pay $5 again for it. $38 for a below average meal is a bummer BUT the people watching from the patio is great AND I think there's hope for this place. I'll give it another try and order something different next time. read more

I loved the service here. Their foods were delicious. I had Kimchi fried rice with pork sirlon, curry with rice, rotisserie chicken, & salad. Great bar & great atmosphere & friendly environment. The only cons of this place is the parking. We had to park on the street since it near by downtown Denver. I would suggest everyone try out their Kimchi fried rice with pork sirlon. It actually one of my favorite dish of the night. read more

Amazing food, great service. The people are the best, and this place is a Denver staple!!

Great food and service! Nice outside dining space for the warmer days. Will definitely be going back in the future!!

I am not fond of kale, but based on servers recommendation I ordered the kale salad for my side item. OMG, it was delicious! Now I stop in whenever I'm in the area and order the full kale salad with salmon. read more

Food and service exceeds the five star options. We were helped by a guy named Rob and he was super informative and so genuinely helpful and just all around pleasant. So for the food: We shared the wagyu French dip and sweet potato fries. Sweet fries came with a really great sauce on the side; jalapeño cilantro aioli and the French dip had a full flavored aju,nothing dull here. I actually drank that shit when I was done,stop judging me. The food is definitely worth the stop,you can tell they really put some heart into forming really good food. 10/10 we'll be back! read more

Brider - Wagyu Beef French Dip Sandwich and Sweet Potato Fries - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have only used for catering but the food is amazing and definitely a crowd-pleaser! Their sweet potato fries are so tasty but my favorite is the Sweet Potato and Avocado salad. The dressing has just the right amount of heat to be tasty but not to overwhelm. read more

Got the roasted chicken Togo meal, excellent in all aspects! Ordered on line, picked up 20 minutes later, everyone loved it! read more

I have been to Brider probably 10 or so times since it opened a few years ago. I keep coming back for the french dip, which is probably the beat in Denver. I've even recommended many friends to go try their french dip. The bread, Wagyu beef, gruyere and horse radish spread make this one delicious sandwich. 5 stars for the french dip. -2 stars for the service. My buddy and I came here with his parents a few months ago and had a less than stellar experience. He and I waited in line to place the order for us all while his parents grabbed us a table. The woman taking our order had this attitude of total apathy, it seemed like she totally hated her job and wouldn't even make eye contact with us when ordering. The. The food came out and they forgot my french dip. So, we all awkwardly waited for my sandwich while everyone else's food was getting cold. This seems to be a common theme with Brider. Today, I took my gf out to lunch here, I (obviously) ordered the french dip, and my gf ordered the ramen. My french dip came out in about 4 minutes and then it took, I kid you not, 20 minutes for her ramen to finally come out. Brider, you're telling me that I'm supposed to eat my sandwich in front of my girlfriend while she had nothing in front of her to eat, or, I'm supposed to let it sit there and get cold? This is totally totally unacceptable. We came here to eat lunch TOGETHER, not watch each other eat. The food is good here but these guys really need to get their sh*t together. The staff has this very undeserving arrogant attitude. Make sure you bring out everyones food together- really not that difficult! read more

Brider - Wagyu Beef French Dip - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We came here on a whim between the slopes in Beaver Creek and the airport. After a long drive I must say I didn't really have much of an appetite, but the food here made me so hungry! The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection. Love the soy glaze and the balance between the soft inside and the crisped outside. The sandwich was super yummy with the rotisserie's chicken and the bread added the perfect crunch. I substituted a baby kale and shaved apple salad because I craved some greens and it was delectable, loved the crunch from the candied nuts. People in our group ordered the full size and added avocados and rotisserie chicken. Drink selections are perfect. Would definitely come back. read more

Only one thing better than great food--- GREAT SERVICE. Came for a quick dinner and even finished off with a little dessert. ;) We appreciate your staff, food and service ! Aloha read more

Bridget is an agreeable lunch/dinner spot if, for example, you happen to be showing picky eater friends (I know, right) around downtown. It's in a great location in LoHi right across from Denver Beer Co. Also very close to Little Man Ice Cream for dessert and the huge REI if you're into that. The main thing they're known for is their rotisserie chicken plates, which I got with polenta and kale. It was pretty good but to be honest felt overpriced for rotisserie chicken -- wasn't anything special. The portions were ok. The beer comes in cans, not from tap, and also I thought the selection was pretty limited. So if it's not happy hour, you'll be paying a premium for a can of beer. The service was super friendly, and dogs are certainly welcome. read more

My husband and I had lunch here for the first time today and it was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We tried both the French dip sandwich and the meatball sub - they were both served on a delicious bread with just the right amount of crunch. One of the best French dip sandwiches we've ever had! And the sauce on the meatball sub was so tasty. Also, they had a sign up saying their chocolate chip cookie was voted best of CO so we had to try it - and it truly was the best I've had at any restaurant or bakery!! Cannot wait to go back to this gem of a restaurant! Wish there was one closer to where we live, but this place is worth the hour drive!! read more

This area is definitely building up. Lots of restaurants and offices around here. Binder seems to be at the base of an office building, I think. Easy to bike to, easy to scooter to, or even walk. It's a chill environment. You order at the counter and grab a seat. The ramen was great, but broth was different. Almost as good as Uncle. The flank steak was tasty, with a slight kick to it. Drinks took a while to get, but we're solid as well. Definitely recommend this place. Solid gluten free options too! read more

I love brider. It's right in the heart of downtown and easy to get to. I love the different options and being an avalanche fan, I love that you can show up with your ticket and get a free beer. Ps. Try the brussel sprouts. They're awesome. Also my favorite is the French dip. Always comes with fresh bread and warm Au Jus read more

There is nothing like a local neighborhood restaurant, especially one that delivers high end, well made food in a comfortable almost cafeteria like setting. A couple friends and I met for lunch here yesterday and were all really impressed. The menu is written on a big chalkboard and then you get in line to order. One of my friends had decided on a dish but as soon as she got to the register and saw the salad of the day she quickly changed her mind. The salad of the day had fennel, mixed greens, beets, couscous and cranberries all tossed in a perfect vinaigrette. I think it is a great idea to show the salad and pizza of the day (along with the cookies and pastries) while you are standing in line. Lined up behind the counter are rows of their housemate potato chips. Everything just says comfort and casual but delivers a solid culinary experience. I opted for the blue shrimp sandwich with side salad and I did request a sample of the chips, which they very nicely gave us a small bowl of. One bite of the sandwich and I was in love. It had the perfect sauce, shrimp, avocado ratio. Each bite was packed with a ton of flavor and just a hint of spice. The salad was delicious and the chips were light and delicate with just a hint of an almost BBQ like flavor. My friends enjoyed their salad of the day with shrimp add on and the curry bowl with lamb add on. For dessert we all got something; two of us the butterscotch budino and the third the pumpkin bread pudding. The pudding was insanely smooth and the little scoop of chocolate sorbet was the perfect touch. I personally could have done without the sea salt on top; it was overly salty in certain bites. But overall desserts were a slam dunk too. We also sampled the chocolate chip cookie and apple fritter which were graciously offered to us. The customer service was impeccable as well; although it is casual and you are given a number, the food was brought to our table. Another nice touch was that we ordered desserts and those were delivered at the end of our meal. In short, I am looking forward to trying more of their menu items; they've earned repeat visits! read more

Many tasty options and a solid choice! Highly recommend the butternut squash salad it's our favorite! Mac and cheese is also delicious.

This is a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner location in a hip downtown area. The food is great, they have beer, and you can get even more beer at The Denver Beer Co right across the street! I work nearby and came here for lunch this week. The food was very fast and service was excellent! My chicken banh mi was excellent tasting. My only complaint is that the bread was way too tough. I thought I might chip a tooth... I grew up eating Vietnamese sandwiches and they are not supposed to be so tough. The other aspect is that the food is pricey for what you get... A sandwich and chips for ~$14 after tax! That's not going to break the bank but I didn't get a lobster truffle sandwich...I got a chicken sandwich. So bottom line is, expect to spend some money on some basic food (it's like an upscale and more hip Panera). But you will have a good time and enjoy what they serve. Be sure to check in on Yelp to get a free cookie and 5% cash back! read more

I hadn't been to Brider in a long time so I thought I would try it again. The rotisserie chicken had a nice finish but was dry as a boot. It must have been cooked to 190F and had little moisture left. Friendly staff. Not very busy but the food took a while. Not sure if I will go back. read more

A great order and seat yourself open space with a great outdoor patio for people watching. The menu has a mix of sandwiches, salads, soup, pizza, rotisserie chicken and drinks of course. I had the avocado sweet potato salad and it was fresh and tasty with a peanut Thai dressing. The salad is a generous portion so there was some left over for later. The pizza was a large piece as well and worth a try. Not on my favorite pizza list of Denver, but it hit the spot! Check in and get a free cookie! Always a nice surprise along with the cash back deal. My mimosa got my day started and my fiancé had a yummy earl greyhound.. only downside is that his drink order didn't arrive for 25 minutes. Awesome lunch spot for weekend city exploring! read more

Brider is a counter service restaurant located in the shopping center popping up by confluence park. It is beautifully decorated in lime green, wood, and steel. The food is pretty good- I had the huevos rancheros for $10, and my friend had a breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread. The pork huevos rancheros were really good- the sauce it came with was really flavorful, I appreciated how they seasoned the pork prior to cooking. She said the bread was crispy and didn't taste gluten free, and she liked the hot sauce that it was served with. Our coffees were good but not great. I feel like for the price the restaurant should have been full service, but I'm sure that area is generally expensive. read more

Love this place!! Everything I have ordered has been excellent. Service is good. Patio is cool. Only downside is parking sucks but that is probably the general area. Even with limited parking, it is totally worth the trip! read more

Brider - Happy hour goods - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It's way better than any other fast-casual establishment. So much better than I don't think it's fair to put it in the same category. But whatever you call it, it IS delicious. So, my husband has a thing for Acorn, but it's not good for our bank account to visit regularly. Now, with a more affordable option with the same great quality within walking distance of home, we might be in trouble. Since they are open for breakfast lunch and dinner, he might spend less but he can go more often. Great drinks (with or without alcohol). Delicious food. Breakfast is simple but better than your average egg sandwich. Once they start making their own bagels (which they said is in the works), look out--this place might be unstoppable. Dinner options may look simple (choose your protein and your style/sides from 4 options), but every bite is a flavor bomb. Porchetta with kimchi? Why not! We tried it, and we loved it. The roasted chicken was delicious too. On one visit, they brought us a dessert on the house. First one's free, but then they hook you. The donut was really, really good. The space is stylish and comfortable. The casual, order-at-the-counter-and-they-bring-it-to-you setup makes it nice for families. There's a patio, so your pooch can join you too. read more

Decent hors d'oeuvres spot for a quick lunch, or early dinner if you missed lunch. Brussels sprouts are my go-to highly recommended.

Love coming here on my lunch break. Everything is good but I keep going back to the Banh Mi, worth the walk for lunch if you're downtown or in the Highlands. read more

I've gotten better food at a Safeway. Overpriced, no option of potatoes, except for sweets, which are in fry form or in a salad. Not vegan or carnivore.K ahead and go across the bridge to get some decent food read more

Omg - so many delicious amazing food options here!!! I love the rotisserie chicken ramen... it's excellent but I really loved the brussel sprout pizza .. it was amazing. I came back in search of it, but they Change it up every day... they didn't have it but I did order the brussel sprout app instead and it was amazing! It was salty, sweet... amazing! One of the best in town....I made my own brussel sprout pizza using the app and their cheese pizza... yummmmm! I love love loved the wagyu beef French dip also. So many great options here! If you check in you get a free cookie. I'm definitely coming back. I'll definitely try other things. It's delicious.

This lovely spot is a nearly perfect execution of the latest high-end, fast casual concept. The space is sleek and modern, but comfortable with a number of four-tops, a long communal table, and a large bar, so there is a surprising amount of seating. There's a printed menu on a stand as you enter plus a huge chalkboard menu with the latest items. Many of the pastries and sandwiches are also displayed in a large case with an open kitchen behind it. Everything looks neat, clean, and very appealing. The breakfast sandwiches in the case looked interesting, but we had come for lunch so we passed on those. I ordered the "Oak" meatball sandwich and my friend had a meat and cheese panini. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We interacted with five different staffers and they were all very welcoming and enthusiastic. We ordered at the counter, then continued along the line to the register where we paid and were given a numbered tag to place on our table. Another friendly staffer brought the food to us almost immediately. My meatball sandwich was huge and delicious with really deep, wonderful flavors and on a very tasty Ciabatta (see the photo). My friend's panini looked a little wimpy in comparison, but he said it was very filling. My sandwich made two full meals and I thought it was a very good value for the quality and amount of ingredients. The space is pleasant and light-filled from huge windows facing the street. I'm eager to return to try some of the breakfast items, the pastries, and definitely the rotisserie chicken which is available after 4:00 p.m. read more

LOOOOVE this place! Perfect for lunch or dinner. So far I've had a few sandwiches and a salad, but I've been meaning to try their soups too. And last time I went I saw that they have a family meal for around $50 that looks fantastic! There were at least three sides and a protein and I saw a family of 5 (two kids) sharing it. I most recently had he Wagyy French dip (incredible) and my friend had the turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich (also incredible). I'm really torn on what their best menu item is. And they have a bar! So feel free to come just for a drink and an app :) read more

I love living down the street from Brider! So many delicious options. My favorites are the banh mi, meatballs and polenta, chicken and pesto sandwich and Brussels sprouts salad, and I'm sure the dishes I haven't tried are also delicious. Thank you ! read more

Two things: delicious and over priced. While this place does American cuisine right, they do it at a steep price in my opinion. Ive enjoyed a slew of offerings including the brussel sprout salad with chicken and for some 15$ ( which can be too dry and salty depending upon the bread crumbs), a turkey/bacon sammy for 12$, Vietnamese coffee, sweet potato fries with homemade cilantro & jalapeno sauce and their tasty loaves at the register ( my favorite is the chocolate chip one --- it's like a cookie cake-- it's freaking amazing). Overall, really great food, just high prices, especially if you add or, remove protein. They either charge you a lot to add it or don't adjust the price if you remove it. But, great experience, good food, nice and clean space. And, they're straw free. So, that's cool. read more

Any night I walk home from work I pass the Brider sign and think: "I should go there some time". Tonight I finally made that happen. And the only question I ask is: why have I not stopped here before? I really liked the vibe of this place how you order at the counter and then find a seat. I went with the Brussels sprouts and the lamb harissa sandwich. Oh man: the flavors of both dishes were superb. The sprouts were cooked perfectly and so delicious with the marinade used. The lamb harissa was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. There were so many depths of flavor packed between two slices of bread. And although the ingredients all meshed weltogether you could still taste the individual components: it was seriously delicious. Needless to say: I won't be making the mistake of passing the Brider sign by for months on end again. read more

Fantastic! We order delivery for work lunches. Food is always on point and order is always correct. Also, super fun spot to dine in.

Amazing food and always friendly service. Love this place. The Nashville chicken sandwich is my favorite. They have a good happy hour too!

One of my go-to happy hour spots. Delicious 50-cent sesame wings, always a table available, and that delicious apple kale salad. Props: They were awesome one day when I was torn between my standard apple kale parmesan fiesta and their seasonal salad. Made me a half of each. Plus their sweet potato tots are fun. Critiques: Staff friendliness varies wildly. Some are super kind and helpful. Others seem like they wish you weren't there bothering them. Salads are $1-2 too expensive to be a regular thing for me. read more
