    The Golden Mill is a fun place to spend an afternoon, especially if you're visiting Golden. The…read moreconcept is great--you get a card that's linked to your credit card, then you can order food and drinks from any of the vendors whenever you want without worrying about separate tabs. There's only about 4 options to choose from. It makes it easy for everyone in your group to get exactly what they want and just hang out. The best part is the location. The outdoor seating overlooks Clear Creek, so you can sit for hours watching people float down the river and enjoy the atmosphere. It's a great spot to relax with friends or family. The only downside is the food. We tried a few different things, and nothing really stood out. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't the reason I'd come back. Overall, I'd return for the atmosphere, drinks, and convenience of the food hall setup--not necessarily for the food itself.

    Golden Mill is unlike anything I've experienced before! The concept is really unique and made for a…read morefun visit. The downstairs outdoor patio is pet friendly, which was perfect for us and Luna. (The upstairs patio is not pet friendly because that's where the sushi bar is located.) The staff does a great job staying on top of clearing dishes and wiping down tables, so everything stayed clean despite how busy it was. When you arrive, they check your ID, stamp your hand to show you're 21+, and give you a card that's used throughout your visit. Every drink and food station scans your card, and drinks are charged by the ounce, so you can pour as little or as much as you'd like. They even have pre-salted glasses ready for margaritas! If you're unsure how the system works, staff members are nearby and happy to help. The food selection is impressive. There are several vendors offering everything from sushi and burgers to mac and cheese, Mexican food, ice cream, and more, so there's something for everyone. We ordered the loaded nachos, which came with chili, cheese, corn, and pico de gallo. They were really good, although I think they would have been even better with a side of guacamole and sour cream. The outdoor seating area has plenty of tables, lots of fans, and covered sections that provide welcome relief from the Colorado sun. The views are another highlight--you can overlook Clear Creek with the mountains in the background, and even see the Coors Brewery from the patio. Overall, it's a fun atmosphere, a very unique experience, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Golden.

Recent obsession of mine might be dumplings so I wasted no time to check it out and oh boy, I am so glad I did. The time was around 1:50pm. A little past the peak lunch time and yet, the restaurant was drawing a steady footprint. I placed my order ahead of time as I knew I would wait for a bit. Once I was inside and told one of the workers that I was in for my online pick up order, he sent me to the front of the restaurant. Another worker greeted me and said it would be another 5 minutes or so. She kindly said to sit in one of the chairs and wait for a little bit. Pleasant and quick encounter with a few of the workers made me think that this restaurant appears to do a good job in treating all guests with respect and kindness. The restaurant is on the smaller side and yet the number of tables are ample. It should hold about a bit over 40 people when it's at its full capacity. Simple and clean dining room with orangey red incorporated into the booth seats and regular table seats. What I got from them were: -Chilled Tofu in Chili Oil -Vegetable Dumpling (10 pieces) -Side rice After my job assignment, I sure was hungry. The simple and yet tasty chilled tofu in chili oil on the hot steamy white rice were simply what I needed; it truly hit the spot and was comforting as well. The vegetable dumplings were probably THE best veggie dumplings I have never had. Lightly seasoned but not bland at all. The pockets of dough that hold the mixed veggies were beautifully bright green. The most beautiful-looking veggie dumplings I have ever seen as well. Congratulations to Dumpling Bay; they are opening a new location in Highlands Ranch. Per the poster that advertises that new opening, the Highlands Ranch location will be their flagship location. Currently planned for November 2026. This new location will be nearly 5,000 sq ft that will serve steamed buns, soup dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, knife-cut noodles as well as Chinese stir-fried dishes. It will have a full-service bar and a large patio seating as well. I will be the first one to check it out when it's open; I mean it!!

    Bob's Atomic Burgers serves a pretty good burger. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had, but…read moreit was flavorful, cooked well, and definitely hit the spot. The menu has plenty of options to customize your burger, and one thing I thought was unique is that you fill out a paper order form with all of your toppings before handing it to the staff to place your order. We chose to sit on the pet-friendly patio with our dog, Luna, which was great until a surprise downpour rolled in. The patio tables have umbrellas, but they weren't enough to keep us (or our food) dry. We ended up grabbing the condiments and finishing our meal in the car instead. Obviously, the weather isn't their fault, but a little more covered seating would have been nice. I also would have loved to see Thousand Island dressing offered as a condiment--it would have been perfect on my burger. Fresh avocado as an add-on would have been another great option to take it to the next level. Overall, it's a fun, casual burger spot with good food, a dog-friendly patio, and friendly service. I'd definitely stop by again if I was in the Golden area.

We stopped in for happy hour, and I was especially excited to see a bourbon/whiskey happy hour option. Definitely a win in my book! We all ordered burgers or sandwiches, and everything was delicious.

Great food, good drinks, friendly service, and a comfortable neighborhood-tavern feel. We'll definitely be back!

    The first time I went here was after hiking Royal Arch as an out-of-shape 53 year old. Nearly…read morekilled me. Decided I'd earned a giant burger so we went here. I said it was the best burger I ever ate. My husband, whose hobbies include crushing joy with logic, said, "No it wasn't. It was an ordinary burger. You only think it's amazing because you almost died." Had to settle that debate, so we tried it without the kill-me-hike warmup this time. Food I don't like my burgers swimming in their own juicy filth. And these burgers are dry, juicy, beefy, and didn't almost drown in their own fat. Even the bun (brioche, I think) stayed dry as summer heat. Plus, their fries are that kind that almost seem battered. Crisp on the outside, potato-y on the inside. We also tried the deviled eggs, which was a nice update to an old classic. Atmosphere This is perfectly casual with outdoor dining (great for dogs). Big umbrellas and coverage from the summer sun. I've never eaten inside because why. Service Perfectly competent. Nobody gave us a pony. Nobody accidentally set us on fire. The food arrived quickly, while the check took its own scenic route through the restaurant. Everyone was friendly. No complaints. Value Expensive burgers at $18-22 each. But I only have burgers a few times a year, so when I do, I'm going to demand one of these from now on.

They were kind of just fatty pieces of barbecue meat. Still delicious and the sauces were great, but not really what I was hoping for. We ordered cheese curds, which were actually cubes and that is the first time I've ever seen shaped curds. They were pretty good, as was the sausage and mac & cheese, though the cheese sauce was a little thin. My mom had the focaccia grilled cheese, which had awesome flavors in it, but the focaccia itself was super thick. If we could decrease the bread by like half I think this would be an awesome choice. I think the main reason I would go to the Eddy is to hang out on their patio, especially when they have live music. It's a good view of golden in the foothills and its probably a great sunset spot. They also have a lot of good nonalcoholic options which we really appreciated - including nonalcoholic wine, which you don't see very often . I think I would stop back here on my way back from hiking or climbing in the canyon but I hope to be a little more impressed by the food next time.

Yes we were told we could even bring her inside. This made all the adults so happy. We sat in/out near a huge back patio set with games and other dog owners came and went. Food selection was nice, and there were a few options for a diner with gluten restrictions, though not a dedicated gf prepared. Two men ate burgers, and I had the fried green tomato blt it was very good. So many fries on the side. Service was a smidgen slow, the waiter was attentive until near the end of our meal as more folks came and went in the restaurant. We waited a little to get final check. Great patio/pub dining inside the restaurant. Super dog friendly.

I especially love the thick focaccia style bread and caramelized cheese along the edges. If it's your first time I recommend getting the Brooklyn bridge it's their best pie imo. But sometimes we switch it up and get the Sweetie Pie. Their Cesar salad is really great as well. This time we also tried their big mozzarella sticks which were yummy and somehow light it made the perfect appetizer after a long morning at the lake. Service is always friendly! The pizzas do take a bit longer to prepare than other pizzas but it's worth the wait I promise you. I love that this location also has a patio area for when the weather is nice. If I'm craving pizza you'll find me here.

My wife went with their lunch special which is a large slice of Detroit, salad and a drink. The pizza was great! All the toppings were high quality and so tasty! I loved the garlic on the Little Rose. So much of it and so delicious! The cupped pepperoni was great and so was their sausage! Everything about both halves were great! The crust was cooked well with a good cheese skirt. Delicious! My wife enjoyed her lunch special and we both agreed this was our favorite pizza we had in Denver. Would definitely come back if we lived around here.
