Overall: 8/10 Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Value: 7/10 Great smoked Old Fashions! Food was decent and so was the service. Nothing too amazing but always a fun place for drinks/food. We elected to sit in the Lounge. read more

Checked this place out for a mid-afternoon snack after hiking and enjoyed a delicious barbecue chicken flatbread. We were able to sit out on the deck and listen to the sounds of silver Creek nearby, which was quite nice. We also tried their garlic Parmesan fries, which were quite good, but we did have to ask for garlic aïoli to accompany them, they were just served with ketchup by default. Asking for their Aioli sauce was definitely worth it though. It was a little bit heavy on the mayonnaise, but overall was very enjoyable. read more

Come for the food, stay for the service. The food was alright, more to come, but the service was some of the best we've ever had. Jeff was amazing: kind, sharp, and a true class act. We had an issue with our food not coming out correctly, but Jeff handled it so well. After the overcooked burger was sent back, he made sure we received an excellent replacement, and it turned out to be one of the best burgers we've had. Overall, the food was good, except for the two burgers that initially came out--both were overcooked and bland. So, my advice: don't order the burger. Herman Joseph was available here at the time of this review. read more

Happy Hour always makes me smile!! Monday through Friday happy hour is from 3:00.-6:00 pm. Half price starters, draft beer and well drinks special prices! The service is always punctual and friendly staff. It's just a great location in downtown Golden. I love the mussels and my dinner mate likes the barbecue chicken flat bread. Both are on the appetizer menu and big enough for a meal. read more

From the bottom of my soul!! This was some of the best food I've ever had in my home state of Colorado. Good grief ! ‍ the chili cheese fries are diabolical. The pancakes are dangerous! The fish and chips are fresh out the ocean lol minus the fries. I truly would drive from Centennial to Golden every weekend to get the chili cheese fries and pancakes ... I know that combo makes it seem like I had the munchies but I was ultra sober lol read more

We were invited here for a birthday celebration. Didn't know it existed even though we live close-by. The food and service is excellent. The view of downtown Golden is nice - especially at the holidays. They can accommodate large groups. We've been back twice since our original visit! read more

We stopped in here after the factory tour. It was happy hour so all appetizers were $10, which was nice. They also had cheap bears. I think we each had 2 beers and a 3 slider appetizer for about $20. It was really nice inside and out (it was too windy to sit outside unfortunately). We sat at the bar (I guess you have to sit there for happy hour) and the staff was super attentive and friendly. I would recommend! read more

Always a great choice in downtown Golden, but be aware....undergoing major renovations! Only the lounge is open with a very limited food menu. That said, the drinks are still great, service always attentive and they went with customer favorite dishes from their scaled back kitchen. Eager for the grand reveal early this summer! read more

My wife and I are in town from Chicago, stopped here for dinner and sat at the bar. Our Bartender Lucas was absolutely awesome. Fun, joking and attentive to guests. He had thorough recommendations for food and drink. We even met Josh one of the chefs and had a lengthy discussion about his carrot cake which was some of the best I've ever had. He really seems to have taken alot of care in putting out good quality & it shows in how he talked about it as well as how it tasted. 10/10 recommend stopping in if even just for a drink. read more

I was advised to try this place by a friend and boy was I impressed. Great food, drinks, service and appearance. I dined inside as the outside area was slammed busy. Very quiet at the table, no loud overbearing music like some restaurants. Definitely one to revisit. read more

Had a great time eating dinner at the bar with Luke B! The food was amazing, he was so attentive and fun. Lucas made sure I had everything I needed, checked in on me regularly and made great conversation. It was such a nice evening thanks to him! read more

This place has potential but it needs some tender, loving care. The bar shelves are drooping and I'm not sure they are aware. The food was just OK. We had the barbecue chicken flatbread, side salad and the chicken sandwich which was dry. The cream sickle martini is terrible. Do not drink. read more

We made a reservation months in advance, specifying a nice table with a view. When we arrived, the hostess walked us past a nearly empty dining room and sat us in the bar area, which was very loud. I ordered a burger and it was waaaayyyy over cooked. My wife got the fish tacos which were absolutely bland. This place was a total let-down. Don't go. read more

Went for Happy Hour with friends. Lucas knocked it out of the park, personable, made recommendations, attentive. The happy hour food was fantastic. What a great spot in Golden. I appreciate when staff is happy you are there! read more

This has become my favorite restaurant. The service has been consistently attentive and very friendly which I so appreciate. My new favorite dish is the Prime Rib French Dip which is absolutely killer. My wife and I love sitting on the patio overlooking Clear Creak. It feels like we're on vacation and getting away. O and the cheesecake is a must try. Stay Golden! read more

On June 15, 2025 we went to this business for Father's Day lunch. We were sat immediately and ordered 1 iced tea and 2 water. We placed our food order approximately 3 mins later, 2 salads and 1 sandwich. We then proceeded to wait 37 minutes for the food to arrive (which it never did) before we left to attend to other issues. We were informed that the "kitchen was busy" although when left, we were 1 of 3 tables inside the restaurant although the patio of approximately 15 tables was nearly full. Sadly a manager never approached our table with explanation nor apology. Needless to say.......1 star at best. read more

Spent the morning in golden with my family and decided to grab lunch here! There were so many options that sounded so good, but I decided to go with the fish and chips because it was on the "favorites" part of the menu. I thought it was very okay overall. The waitress was so busy but was nice and efficient. Overall the place was clean. The views outside are amazing and a cute place to grab an average bite to eat. read more

Bridgewater Grill - Fish and chips minus the chips - American Near Me - Golden, Colorado

The reviews from Andrea S. and Jennifer H. resonate to exactly what I experienced in terms of service. It was slow, not really attentive or overly helpful, and actually just felt a bit incompetent. If you take a job as a server, it is a good idea to be able to multi-task is a good summary. The food and setting are very nice. The green chili was excellent and the burger was good. I asked for some extra condiments that never came so the theme for this review goes back to the service. Assuming you get a good server, I would suggest eating here for the food and ambience. read more

Bridgewater Grill - Good green chili soup. - American Near Me - Golden, Colorado

We were walking the trail in Golden and decided to stop in for lunch before continuing on our day. I have been wanting to check this spot out as their patio over sees the stream and of course we had our pupper. My husband got the fish and chips while I got a bowl of the green pork chili. I have been looking for a place that has good green chili as it is hit or miss here in Colorado. It was really good and even my husband tried it and liked (of course now I need to find a good recipe so I can make for us at home) but would rather cornbread than flour tortilla to accompany it. Or at least some time of roll or bread. My husband really liked the fish and chips and I tried a bit and really liked it. Good spot to pop by when in the Golden area. read more

Terrible experience with service. Waitress took forever to get to the table to take our order, rarely checked on us, let our water go empty, no silverware or napkins, AND forgot our drinks till we were almost done eating. Plus, she added a 20% tip automatically b/c we were a party of six. For a $200 lunch, I expect at least mediocre and it was terrible. She didn't apologize. Someone else had to bring us to-go boxes. I could understand if she was swamped or in a hurry. read more

Food: We got the mushroom burger, wedge salad, and cup of green chili. The mushroom burger was UNBELIEVABLE. I will silently crave this sandwich many times once I leave. The wedge was fresh and delicious. And the green chili deserved its award winning title. The onion rings we got as a side were oddly watery. Not sure if that was from being frozen but probably needed to be cooked a bit longer. Service: Super attentive. Offered a blanket because it was a bit chilly outside which was clutch. Ambience: The patio was beautiful - overlooking the river. Really calm and peaceful. Overall highly recommend -- even though this place is in a hotel, it felt just like a nice restaurant to go to in golden. read more

We had a few of their appetizers and they were delicious. Our dinner was also very good. We have two drinks and unfortunately neither of them were good. The old fashioned had small ice cubes and was meh. I then asked for a whiskey sour and did not drink it because it was terrible. Our waitress was amazing though and so sweet. read more

Fancy ambiance in the Golden Hotel. Server was friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. Got the 7oz steak and it was so tender and well cooked. The house salad had super fresh goat cheese to die for. read more

The restaraunt in the Holden Hotel is supposed to highly recommended, however our experience was less than expected. To start, the Lavanda cocktail was excellent! The lavender lemon and rose was a wonderful flavor combo. Our waiter was also fabulous and gave great recommendations and was super attentive. It was lovely to sit out on the deck and have the golden river view while enjoying this drink. Unfortunately, the positives ended there. The Ceaser salad was just a bit off. Not sure if the dressing had gone bad, but the taste was bland and very off. It didn't exactly taste like Ceaser dressing, and the after tast was horrible. My friend ordered a house salad with salmon and her salmon was over cooked and when she tasted the Ceaser she was a bit thrown since it had been highly reviewed. I tried to add crushed red pepper to hide the flavor and it only mildly worked. The smoked trout dip tasted way too heavily of the sour cream or whatever dairy product was in it. I was a bit shocked at how little smoked trout was in this dip, and what was worse, it seemed like there was an excess of Worcester sauce in there. It ultimately was like a Pinterest fail attempt. Usually this is an easy and fabulous dish at most places so we were pretty disappointed. This is a lovely spot for drinks, however nothing we had was worth recommending past that. read more

Great brunch and outstanding service. Jeff is some of the best waitstaff I have encountered. The patio/deck is great for people watching as it is next to the walkway across the Clear Creek. Also, this location is much calmer than the Golden Mills. I highly recommend Bridgewater Grill for visitors to Golden. read more

We were hesitant to try this place based off the yelp reviews.... SO GLAD WE DID. Oh man the Bridgewater grill gave me everything I needed from a date night dinner and more. My partner and I just moved to the area and have been scoping this place out for some time and I'm so glad we finally decided to try it. I got the Salmon BLTA.... Legitimately the best sandwich I've ever had, who know bacon and salmon go together?!? THEY DO. My boyfriend got the meatloaf and happily ate the entire thing. I would recommend this place to anyone I know. Don't let these reviews fool you, this restaurant is a GEM!!!!!! read more

Loved this restaurant and everything I ordered! Patrick was our waiter and his service was exceptional!! Highly recommend the bison meatloaf and the cheesecake is the absolute best I've ever eaten! read more

Our server, Jeff was amazing, attentive and efficient and kind - what a blessing! Food was delicious - great variety plus vegan options for our friends! read more

Solid spot to grab lunch by the Clear Creek River. The staff weren't the most attentive and the hostess wasn't the friendliest but overall it was still a pleasant experience. I ordered the Rocky Mountain Miners Salad and it was just what I needed on a hot spring day. Everything tasted fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly. My only knock was the blue cheese was a bit overpowering so perhaps a little less blue cheese and a tad more greens. read more

I practically lived in this restaurant during my brief stay in Golden. They had a uniquely intriguing special each day that kept drawing me in. Food highlights were the Bacon-Wrapped Bison Meatloaf and the Salmon BLT. Both were equally delicious. Also, if you've never tried the Herman Joseph's Private Reserve, do it now! The staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant (and the hotel) both have an old-west vibe, which I dig. I don't understand why this place currently only has a 3.5 star rating. Sure it's inside a hotel, but the restaurant could easily stand up on its own. read more

Patrick was awesome! He gave honest reviews and was so much fun! He made the Experience perfect. Get the cheesecake!!

The only reason for a three is the outstanding staff and the best deck in Golden. I have eaten here a dozen times over the years and am always disappointed by the food. Last night was no different, the chicken on my salad was so freezer burnt that it was almost inedible. Maybe I always order the wrong thing ‍ read more

Gave me the wrong ticket. The right tick added iced tea which I did not have. The computer was down and it took 20 minutes for our group to get their credit cards or cash back while worrying if our parking allotment might expire. read more

This was a quaint little place right along side the river which made the ambience really quaint. The menu doesn't have very many items on it it's more of a appetizer and burger type restaurant. The food was good, but the ambience was better. So if you're looking for a leisurely place to go sit outside and listen to the river while you eat you should definitely check this place up read more
