    Tater Tots
    Melanie T.

    The one item on the menu u that stuck out to me the most was the loaded tater tots. There's hot sauce, bacon bits, and either cucumbers or pickles. The tater tots look so yummy and they are crunchy and delicious potatoes. This can definitely be a full meal for one person or you can get the and share with your group. You do have to be patient. It came out in a reasonable time. There was one person doing everything.

    Tikka Masala Chicken Sandwich
    Carly W.

    HOT DAMN! Cleaver & Co. has got something delicious going on, and I am HERE FOR IT! After posting up at Junction Food Hall, I just knew that I had to try a little something from Cleaver & Co. When I gazed upon the Tikka Masala Chicken Sandwich, I knew I had to have it. Tikka spiced chicken, topped with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and raita sauce, on a brioche bun - yes please! Let me tell you, it was packed with all the flavor and more! The chicken breast was fried up perfectly, the bun was toasted, and the ingredients just melted in your mouth. I'm sure after all that you're wondering why just 4 stars, why not five? Well, that sammie came with a rather steep price tag. Weighing in on my wallet at $13, I was shocked. Sure, it was delicious, but I wish they included a bag of chips or something at that price. Delicious, yes. Worth trying, yes. Worth getting again, to be determined. Cleaver & Co. may be a, "grab something different each time for the experience" kind of place, because getting hooked could cost you a pretty penny.

    This is our favorite burger place in Denver. Each burger is a UNIT, so you can order fries separately but be prepared to potentially not need them. Each burger is juicy, rich, and oh so filling. Cleaver & Co is located in the Junction on Colorado Blvd. This is a small shop next to Ebisu and a coffee place in an indoor shared eatery. There's plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. I believe the area is called Colorado Center. There is a Dave & Buster's and a movie theater nearby.

    Got Goat?, tater tots, and Creme Brulee shake
    Jaimielyn B.

    Was craving a burger and took a chance on this place based on the handful of reviews, and I'm glad I did. Been a minute since I've had a good lamb burger, and Got Goat? was a perfect choice. The burger was cooked well, and it comes with plenty of toppings and the perfect amount of that dill-goats cheese mousse that you get it in every bite. The tater tots were perfect and crispy, not a weak one in the bunch. While I personally ate them all, they are a good size that would be easily split between two people. Ketchup comes default on the side but, being me, I had to request some ranch. That had to be one of my best choices this meal--it is an excellent house-made ranch with a light smoky flavor. I made sure to get every last drop. My creme brûlée--or caramel--shake was great, I rarely have anything bad to say about a shake that uses custard. Was it worth $7? Maybe not, but it was delicious. This location is located in Junction Food & Drink, another food hall type setup. There's a good amount of seating, including bar stools in front of this spot. The food halls are starting to grow on me, and if you're planning to go to a movie at the nearby theater, definitely recommend swinging through here for dinner beforehand. As a note, most of the (non-garage) parking has a 2-hour limit posted. I'd come back to Cleaver & Co for some tater tots and ranch alone, but I'm looking forward to trying their other burger and chicken offerings.

    Awesome food stall in junction food hall. The food was amazing and I loved everything we ordered. The got goat burger was amazing. The meat was cooked well and the goat cheese and onions were good on the burger. I don't know why they called the sauce a mousse but the overall concept was good. The loaded chicken fries were awesome and you should definitely get these! If there's two of you then this is enough for both of you guys because the portions were huge. The hot sauce and ranch and pickles went great with the chicken and fries and they didn't skimp out on the cheese sauce. The creme brûlée shake was amazing. So thick and not too sweet. Overall highly recommend this super awesome stall and the food hall was also great as well. The service was also good and didn't take too long.

    I love chicken sandwiches, and this is the place to go! They all sound delicious, but I went with the chipotle grilled chicken sandwich. I ordered it one time with a bun, and one time without a bun (post gluten free stages.) I did not get the chipotle sauce the second time and I forgot about it until I was finished, but that's okay. The tater tots were nice and crispy! Just the way I like them!

    At the end of the day the hardest thing to swallow here was the $14 dollar bill. I got the hot chicken and it was good. I watched as they took the breast, added breading in front of me, and fired it up. It was a nice hot chicken (I ordered hot but I'd say it was medium). I got fries as well- which I'll avoid in future. They were fine fries with some spice dust on them but the calorie plus price plus taste equation didn't pan out. Overall a good place and a pricey but tasty hot chicken

    Everything in the Junction is a bit hipster and a lot awesome. Cleaver is exactly that. They take wonderful care with every meal. This was my first time visiting Cleaver, we got a chipotle chicken sandwich and a west coast burger. Both had a generous amount of avocado mash on them. The chicken sandwich was good but the flavors weren't as strong as I'd like. The west coast burger was delish but crazy messy. As with any slightly hipster joint, the sides aren't included. I could be annoyed by this but honestly, it's just the way life is now and they cost $2.50 each so not bad. We got the tots and they were FANTASTIC! Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, they had some all spice on them and it was really good with the chipotle sauce from the chicken sandwich. Also, a perfect amount for 2 people! Solid place for a nice meal and a social atmosphere. I'll be back again!

    This burger was delicious! They offer a gluten free bun which was very good. The meat was perfect, cooked with some pink on the inside. I tried to order a side of fries, but found out they were not GF so had to pass. I got my burger within about 10 or so minutes. Plenty of seating at the junction. I recommend!

    Honestly, I don't understand the hype around this place. I've given this place a solid try by…read moreeating here twice. The first time I went and dined in with my boyfriend. He did actually like his sandwich. I can't remember the name, but it was the one with the pimento cheese. I got the Korean sandwich, and my sandwich was so soggy with sauce that the bun was falling apart and the breading on the chicken was not one bit crispy, but instead had a mushy texture and kept falling completely off the cutlet. The flavor of the sauce was just too salty with a little bit of sweet, but no real flavor profile other than that. When I get a fried chicken sandwich I want it to have some crunch. That's half the fun of eating fried chicken, in my opinion. The tots were ok, but nothing to write home about. I got one of the dirty sodas, which sounded good in theory, but I really didn't like it and ended up just throwing it away. My boyfriend got the house made strawberry lemonade and said it just tasted too tart. Upon trying it, I agreed. I'm the type of person who almost always gets lemonade if they make it in house, but did not have a high opinion of this one. He didn't end up finishing his drink either. Today we ordered take out from Birdcall for our whole family. My boyfriend was there to pick it up when it came out, and we live only 5 minutes up the street. This time was the same- my breading just keeps falling off the chicken, even though this time I got no sauce on my sandwich. That's super disappointing and makes it harder to eat. My son doesn't like the chicken tenders either and says they taste bad. I tried a piece, and I don't think it tastes bad, but it is definitely bland. All of the chicken seems a bit overcooked judging by the dark color of the breading that has gone a bit past the golden brown you expect with good fried chicken as well as the slightly rubbery texture of the chicken. My boyfriend ordered separately but picked up both our orders. He got home and said his Starry has no flavoring whatsoever. I tried my son's lemonade and it again is just kind of sour in flavor, with not enough sugar added. I thought maybe the first time we ate their they maybe just had their ratios off in that batch of lemonade, but I specifically didn't order it with my meal this time because of the experience last time. I guess my instincts were correct because this time it still wasn't good. Overall I just always end up wondering why I spent the money to eat at this place when the food and drinks are so lackluster. I'd sooner eat at Raising Cane's where the chicken is super crispy, tasty, and the breading stays intact, and they have delicious lemonade that they make in house. I will say that the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice enough and the bathrooms were clean. It was over air conditioned, but that tends to be the case whenever you eat at a restaurant in the summer. Either way, I still don't get the hype around this place, re: the reviews I read. If I were you, I'd skip this place.

The crispy chicken tenders, Asian herb mix, crispy shallots, and green papaya dressing all had their own distinct flavors, but together they created a wrap that was incredibly balanced and satisfying.

The mistake that was made on my part was I ordered the side of french fries but I really should've ordered the side of waffles! The chicken itself was very crispy, which is always interesting for gluten-free because sometimes I think it has a hard time holding together without flour as a binding agent. Definitely recommend getting the chicken, no matter what! The french fries were good, but just your typical french fry. My boyfriend ordered the waffles and oh my gosh! They were so fluffy, so sweet, but not too overpowering. I still think about those waffles to this day and about the regret I have for not ordering them. The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I definitely recommend going here and getting the chicken and waffles!

I pulled up to the drive-thru speaker at 1:40 AM and sat there waiting. After about a minute, I started saying, "Excuse me?" a few times. Absolute silence. So I drove around. There was a car at the first window literally waving someone down. Looked like they needed ketchup or sauces because apparently that's the only way to get an employee's attention after 1:40 AM. When they left, I pulled up around 1:43-1:44 AM and had to wave someone down myself. The employee finally opened the window, and I immediately noticed she wasn't even wearing a headset. So the drive-thru wasn't being ignored by accident--they just weren't taking orders anymore. She asked, "Do you need something?" I said, "Yeah, I'd like to order." Her response: "We're closing down." Me: "Don't y'all close at 2?" Her: "Yeah." Me: "It's 1:43... not 2." Her: "I know." So I asked, "If it's not 2 AM yet, shouldn't you still be operating?" Her response? "Uhhh..." That pretty much told me everything I needed to know. I just said, "Don't worry about it." She asked if I was sure. At that point, why would I still want food from a place that was actively trying not to serve customers? Wait here's the best part... The manager was standing right behind her the ENTIRE time and never stepped in. Look, I understand wanting to get out on time. Everybody wants to go home after work. But if you're getting paid until 2 AM and your doors are open until 2 AM, then maybe... hear me out... serve customers until 2 AM. I've always had Cane's right behind Chick-fil-A After this? Y'all are drifting into the same lane as late-night McDonald's, and that's not a compliment. If you want to close at 1:40, then change the sign. Otherwise, honor the hours you advertise.

My wife said yes, that's fine, we'll take it, no cheese. I ordered a cheeseburger only so the young girl asked if I wanted a fry and a drink and said, no. I intended on sharing my wife's fries and I carry a water bottle so I already had water with me. They called my name when it was ready but the tray only had two burgers on it. I said we should have a fry and a drink and the young girl who rang us up chimed in behind the lady handing me my tray and said "I asked you if you wanted a fry and a drink and you said no". I said we ordered the combo on the window and another kid jumped in and said it's only available after 3pm. I said I know, but we ordered it at regular price. The young girl chimed in again and said the exact same thing, "I asked you if you wanted a fry and a drink and you said no". I told her that we ordered the combo which comes with a fry and a drink and AGAIN, she argued that she asked if I wanted a fry and a drink and I said no. I explained AGAIN that what we ordered came with a fry and drink and yet again she argued back with the exact same rebuttal and then my wife chimed in and said "it's ok, let's just eat", so we sat down and ate our hamburgers (only). Now, they did try and make it right but they should have shut the young girl down before it escalated the way it did. Sorry, but I know what we ordered and I hate to say anything about the younger generation but there was no respect or willingness to accept a mistake. All she could do was sit there and argue like a 14 year old would do. I saw the lady, the young girl and a gentleman in the back talking about it and the lady came over and said it was a misunderstanding and gave us drink cups and said they'd make us a fry. We declined the cups and fry, ate our burgers and left. Burger was good but it's a shame how one person can screw up an entire experience for someone. Food can be good but all it takes is one person to screw it up for everyone. Hence the reason for a two star review. I don't agree that the customer is always right, but to sit there and argue exhibits a high level of immaturity. To be fair, the young girl did not charge us for the fry and drink but that wasn't realized until afterwards. #training #teach #conflictresolution #businessacumen
