Met with a friend I haven't seen in nine years! I was half hour late :( but this place being lively with its colorful inside and the parade of people in and out kept him entertained. He was happy when I walked up to him. He read the menu while waiting and was excited to be at Brider rather than his other choice. He went for the chicken salad and I went for the Lamb Sandwich. Both were great choices. The salad was loaded. My lamb sandwich was very good with crunchy bread and well seasoned lamb meat. With some greens. All that matters to me was the amount of meat. This isn't a big sandwich to share by any means but taste wise- let's just say I'll get this again. So no waiter service here. You order. Pay. You get a number. They bring the food to you. Outside seating is limited. Either way you will have fun here and come out satisfied. Metered two hour parking around. There's a three hour parking lot that I have to look into next time. read more

Brider - Lamb Sandwich - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fantastic place to eat! Very spacious with indoor and patio seating. There is a large enough menu to suit all tastes (even kids), but no so large that it's overwhelming. Everything sounded soooo good! The food was made fresh to order, which I love, and they also have coffee and beer available for purchase. Everyone in our group loved their meals and I would definitely go back. The 2 most incredible things I did taste were the cookie (sounds silly but omg) and the dipping sauce that comes with the sweet potato fries- it's like a jalapeño pesto or something. Insane! But everything was delicious and the portions were great. I loved the healthy options, as well. read more

Great dinner deal! $25 for a glass of beer/wine, salad and entree with side. It's a ton of food and it's all delicious. There's a ton of space. You order at the counter and sit yourself. BABY KALE AND SHAVED APPLE - great portion with delicious flavors. The nuts were a great addition. PORCHETTA - delicious. The char was great and it was a nice balance between fat and not fat. MADRAS CURRY - great flavors. There's actually some spice in it and it paired really well with the porchetta. read more

I was wandering around in Denver and hadn't eaten yet that day when i saw via yelp this place seemed good and it was happy hour! It was quiet inside because it was something like 4:30 on a Monday. I ordered 5 wings and 2 margaritas. both fantastic. for a pretty decent price happy hour or not. idk why it's hard to come across full wings in colorado? so was hype to see that right off the bat. and the sauce. i don't even know what it was it was sweet and tangy and has some peanuty goodness and i'm usually not a big savory peanut person! they sell it for pretty cheap too in bottles. i bought the hot sauce (so good) and i've been thinking about how i should've bought the sauce for a few weeks now. might just have to make it back to denver. the margaritas were nice too! not too sweet wasn't watered down or anything. Just a good drink:) all the staff was really nice. i think the ambiance has range too. i can see taking kids there, a lil group of teens, a not overly fancy date night spot, and i didn't feel weird being there alone. the rest of the menu also looked pretty good i was tempted but also knew what i wanted. good lil spot to grab a bite. i wasnt having the best day and this helped turn it around. i reccomend. read more

Brider - Nashville hot fried chicken - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is an amazing spot just west of the South Platte River. Whether you are getting breakfast, lunch or dinner Brider delivers with fantastic flavors and sensational service. If you come for breakfast, definitely get the freshly squeezed orange juice. It taste like an orange freshly picked from an orange grove. It is not overly sweet which you optimally get with store bought juices. The house-made English Muffin with a farm fresh egg, cheese and bacon quickly has become my favorite go-to breakfast item. The English muffin is light and airy. The egg is always perfectly cooked, delivering a creamy yoke that fills the air pockets in the muffin. The huevos rancheros with either pork or chicken delivers an amazing meal and will keep you full until lunch. The sunny side egg with black beans with avocado and cilantro will satisfy any fan of a Mexican food fan. The only thing I didn't like was the latte. The coffee tasted burnt, but its all about your flavor profile you prefer. read more

Came here on a food tour and the food was amazing! We had the apple and kale salad which I could have eaten the whole family sized bowl by myself. I usually don't even like kale. We also had the chicken wings with the secret sauce and it was addicting! Not dry, not too saucy, just perfect. The cookie we got with the Yelp check in and SO worth the Yelp hype. Nancy who works there was so friendly and made our whole experience great! Definitely top off with their ginger beer! Would definitely come here again! read more

Used to come here fairly often pre-pandemic when we were still in the West Highlands, then came back yesterday for lunch with the family. Yep, still delicious. I didn't realize they only just started opening on Sundays. I got the kale and apple salad (large was too much but ate it anyway) and a kids meatball polenta (why not?). My wife got the sweet potato and avocado salad, and kids got the grilled cheese. Everything was very tasty (I got to eat their leftovers for lunch today). Staff were very friendly and quick to clean up spills. This is a great spot for lunch. We also have done their Thanksgiving meals in the past, which were spot on. Can't wait to come back! read more

Brider is great! I really like the ambiance and location. It is in the trendy LoHi neighborhood and is a fast casual type dining experience. I t has a cafeteria style feel similar to IKEA in addition to a front patio and side bar. The menu is pretty simple and offers a diverse fusion assortment of items. There were many options to choose from but I had to go for the Banh Mi Ordered - Banh Mi (5+/5). I am Vietnamese so whenever I can get my hands on this delicious sandwich, I usually go for it (even when it may not be as authentic). The pate was amazing and a nice spread on the toasty bread. I also tasted a hint of fish sauce (verify?) but that definitely made it all the better. A little pricey but it will for sure fill you up Love it. It was a terrific experience and I need to order the other sandwiches next time I am in Denver Also - pro tip, check in via Yelp App for a free cookie (4.5/5) read more

Two days into living in Denver we found our go-to spot. I LOVE this place. The happy hour specials are amazing and the sandwiches are SO good--the banh mi is by far my favorite but the falafel sandwich is also great. read more

I love this place. Their chicken is salty and delicious and so is tbe crack green sauce it comes with. We also got the Mac and cheese, fried rice, sweet potato and avocado salad, and sweet potato fries. They were all yummy! This was my second time and I would return again although it is pricey. You order at the counter and sit down and the staff bring your food to you. They are friendly and we got our food quick, which is why I chose this spot. As a mother with a toddler who is a ticking time bomb, we love this place. Also you have to get a cookie! They are so good. read more

Dammit, I hate meeting the owner of a great restaurant, truly loving my meal and still dinging the place one star because, well, it could've been better. But honesty is good policy and this place is leaning five star, so I'm going to keep it real. That was a solid bowl of ramen (a special), made way better with a ballsy spicy-ish broth and some damn fine kimchi. I say Go Get It, Brider, you're nearly stellar. I want to applaud the unique fast-casual model of this place and I will, in a minute, but the food deserves a short paragraph. The menu is a carnivore's dream come true, and I have no reason to doubt (judging by the plates my friends were devouring) that the meats, across the board, are magnifique. The sides certainly shine. Super ooey-gooey mac & cheese, sweet potatoes banged up with a solid aioli, smart Brussels. Okay, this is the moment, penning a review, where I simply admit I don't know enough about the rest, and I need to get back over here on my next visit to Denver. And I need to sample, like, every single other thing. But I want to point out one important note about the whole fast-casual concept. It's a big thing, it's how new-ish eateries, catering to us corporate automatons who need a quick bite, want to roll. After ordering at the counter, food came out pronto in regular plates and bowls, and when we left the feast our table was a train wreck. I'm not saying this is novel, but it matters that our meal was, across the board, virtually identical to a meal otherwise served by a server: waters refilled, we were asked if we wanted any extras (we did, more hot sauces, they have many), and they cleaned up after us, basically equating to an 18-20% tip, minimum. So add that to your fast-casual receipt. These guys are really good, and so's the food. read more

Even though I had ramen the day before, that was no reason to turn down the rotisserie chicken version they were serving up at Brider. Rotisserie seems to be their jam so I felt the need to go that route. While the broth might not have been as rich or viscose as an authentic ramen shop but the chicken added so much flavor! Plus we added some house made hot sauce the manager brought over for an extra zing. For sides, we all shared the mac and cheese, the brussel sprouts, and the sweet potato fries. Every one of them were over the top excellent. Generally I don't even like sweet potato fries but the green sauce on the side turned them from duds to delights. All three are must haves! Take a brownie or cookie to go as well... they're both to die for and extra large for sharing. read more

My only experience with the fine folks at Brider came by way of delivery. I've peeped the pics online and it looks like a nice spot to pop in for food, but I'm really stoked they deliver and the food held up well. Will I tell you something you don't already know? Probably not. For me, it begins and ends with that sweet potato salad. There was so much stuff in it besides lettuce, that most other places usually skimp on, but they seemed to double down. For extra fun, I had some shrimp added on top and that was not a mistake. Acceptable answers also would have included chicken or beef or anything because once you pour Thai vinaigrette on it, it's all going to be delicious. I also did some strategic ordering and had half of a chicken banh mi. I couldn't resist the allure of a pate aioli and pickled veggies, and while it held its own, it still played second fiddle to the salad. It held up on its own taste-wise, but it seemed to have some structural problems. I'm not holding that against them because really, when you get it via delivery, it's just not the same and that's not their fault. It wasn't a mess and I was able to eat my half just fine. Tasty stuff. It's hard to describe the menu. Ya, it's a New American kind of spot, but really with world fusion. Banh mi borrows from Vietnam, the kimchi & porchetta sandwich from Korea and Italy, and a falafel smack dab in the Middle East. Pay attention to the fact that they call themselves a rotisserie and kitchen. That chicken banh mi is rotisserie chicken. Looks like dining in you get a full alcohol menu with beer/wine/cocktails too. read more

All credit to The Boy for choosing Brider for our Restaurant Week experience. Because it's a quick serve concept, we didn't have to go through the hassle of making a reservation and while the place was busy, we were able to place an order and find a table without any trouble. We were both really impressed with the quality the food, the presentation and the SERVICE (how often can you say that about fast-casual?!). I ordered the shaved brussel sprout Caesar salad, rotisserie leg of lamb with couscous, and had a beer to drink which along with a butterscotch budino for dessert was all included in the $25 Restaurant Week menu price. The Boy ordered sweet potato tots, and the herb-roasted rotisserie chicken with Madras curry. The food was impeccable. My only complaint was that the lamb could have used a little more seasoning, but I just covered it in the delicious Harissa that came with the couscous and that worked perfectly. Service was mind-blowing! We were approached as we stood gawking at the menu and she handed us the Restaurant Week menu and explained the whole process. Each course was explained to us by the server who brought out the food (this is a team environment so we had different servers but each was equally great at their job) and our water glasses were never left empty. I love the idea of high end food without the high end attitude. Brider is a total WIN! Edit: Forgot to mention earlier. The brussel sprout Caesar salad is one of two salads I've ever tried that I would prefer over a nice steak dinner. It is DIVINE. read more

Brider??? I barely even know her! But now I do and it is glorious!! After work sessions all morning, we followed our fearless, newly local leader to a place of meat filled bliss. Some of our crew opted to go the ramen route. But I am a sucker for a good French dip. And if this place was as good as my friend who led us here said, I gots to get that dip. All of the sides sounded really good. So we decided to split all three of them. And even though I'm not a dessert person, I snagged a brownie for the road. All of this massive amount of food we got came in at a pretty reasonable price. And the fill your own water station is clutch for a guy who likes his beverages while eating... especially at this altitude. The brussels were amazing. But the real shocker was the sweet potato fries. I like them ok usually. But these were very crispy with an amazing sauce that complimented them very well. The best side however was the mac and cheese. Very bomb. The French dip was different than most that I have had. But it was fantastic. If it were just a regular sandwich, I might have thought the bread to be too hard. But since it was drenched in beef juices, it was the perfect consistency to dip and not fall apart. Later on, the brownie was a great treat. Brider, you are fantastic. read more

I was craving a sandwich and the opportunity to get out of the house during my lunch break and Brider seemed like a great excuse to do so. I've been hearing about this spot for awhile and my only regret is that I didn't come check it out sooner. The main item that had caught my eye was the wagyu french dip sandwich and wow... what a good sandwich. The sandwich alone definitely made it worth the trip. I had also gotten the mac and cheese & a chocolate chip cookie, both of which were delicious as well. I was full after just one half of the sandwich and half of the mac and cheese, so I guess I have leftovers for dinner - a win win. Definitely will be back! read more

4.5 stars. What a fantastic find! I'm obviously scarred from too many Sunday brunches in San Francisco, because I was paranoid that Brider would be insanely busy when they opened in the morning. It seemed to be popular on Yelp, so that train of thought made sense. We were actually the first ones there... by far. That also meant there was plenty of street parking. I'm excited at the thought of coming back here again (since we were just there for the weekend) because Brider seems like a great place for all meals of the day and everything in between. It looks like a cafeteria with all its communal tables but still has the hipster vibe of downtown Denver that you know and love. Since we brought our dog, we sat on the outdoor patio and tied him to one of the benches while we dined on coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Mine had egg, cheese, and bacon inside an English muffin. Delicious! Super hot and gooey. It was perfect for a cold and crisp Denver morning. Can't wait to be back at Brider on our next trip! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The chicken is cooked to PERFECTION moist on the inside and crispy skin. The flavor is phenomenal. Definitely recommend getting the Brussels sprouts on the side, the secret sauce they come in is amazing. This place has amazing comfort food that leaves you satisfied but not feeling too overly full. I got a local Stem cider to drink and it was a nice, light, refreshing beverage with my meal. We also got the sweet potato fries that came with a jalapeño sauce that was super tasty. Finally, the staff were so extremely friendly and welcoming! They are definitely doing a wonderful job and Brider is lucky to have such a great team! read more

Great open fast casual atmosphere. Don't skimp on a latte while your here either. There is truly something for everyone. Sweet Potato Avocado Salad, Good mix of crunch especially with the nuts...if you like cilantro you'll love this. If not stay away it definitely comes through. The fried egg/over easy egg on top is also a shining hero on this fresh salad pick me up Brussels Sprout Caesar Salad The play on a crouton= Garlic parmesan is a nice subtle yet complimenting touch. If you are looking for a way to get in your Brussels sprouts this salad will do the trick but just remember it's a Brussels sprouts so a little extra chewing is required Rotisserie Porchetta with kimchee fried rice I would come here just for this...the pork loin is cooked to perfection and every ingredient of the kimchee fried rice blends perfectly! Rotisserie Chicken with kale and potatoes Nice hint of spice with very well cooked kale, potatoes create a good addition to fill you up Butterscotch Budino A decadent delightful end to any meal.

Stopped by for lunch here while on a work trip in Denver. Open concept seating with bar seating and regular tables available. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks out to you. You can help yourself to water from their self serve pitcher in the corner. Our table ordered sharing plates of charred Brussel Sprouts, Mac & Cheese and Sweet Potato Fries. My favourite was the jalapeno and cilantro aioli that was served as a dip with the fries. My main dish was bowl of Chicken Ramen which was served with kimchi, fried egg and jalapenos. The bowl itself was spicy, but as a heat lover, I highly recommend their house hot sauce which made the meal. Their house ginger beer was on the sweeter side and helped counter the spiciness of the hot sauce. Amazing casual atmosphere was great to have a conversation with my colleagues while we ate our lunch. The manager knew one of my peers and came and chatted with us for a while and gave us great recommendations for things to do while in Colorado. Great service, great food, highly recommend it for small groups. read more

We ordered the rotisserie chicken and Brussels sprouts for my mother-in-law's birthday dinner. It was perfect! Very juicy and tender.

Happened to walk by the restaurant about a week ago and saw that it was a rotisserie chicken place so I knew I had to give it a try, and I'm glad I finally did. The staff was friendly and helpful and the ordering process was straight forward and easy. I ordered a 2 piece rotisserie chicken entree plate with Brussels on the side. The chicken was moist, flavorful and the skin was crispy. The Brussels were cooked perfectly and glazed in a delicious sauce. I came during happy hour so the mule was only $5 and was made well. Happy to have another fast casual restaurant to add to my Denver list. Looking forward to coming back to try the wings and chicken tortilla soup! read more

OMGYG, how have I not reviewed Brider??? I've dined in numerous times and done delivery at least twice, too. For shame... (to myself, not to Brider). Sometimes the most simple menus are the best. Brider offers salads, rotisserie meats, soup, baked goods as well as adult beverages. Since they opened a few years ago, the menu hasn't really changed too much. And there's really no reason, IMHO, because their options are just enough but not overwhelmingly so. And frankly, there's a handful of items that I really, really like so why mess with a good thing? Oh, and did I mention they have WINE? And a PATIO? Those two things make for a perfect afternoon by themselves. Add free wifi and I can work, snack, drink and get some sun all in one fells swoop. Even though I don't live near downtown anymore, there's plenty of reasons to go downtown and enjoy a meal at Brider. Denver holiday flea in Union Station? Go to Brider after! Picky eater parents in town? Take 'em to Brider. Need a healthy lunch delivered for a work meeting? Hit up Brider on the Yelp app! Yes, they deliver within a certain radius. Within an hour. And there's plenty of options for vegans, vegetarians or meat eaters like moi. Honestly, why haven't you been here (or ordered takeout from them) yet? read more
