GET THE REUBEN. Cute little restaurant in edgewater market with solid vegan options and has seating or take out options. The Reuben was delicious and I will absolutely get it again. Their other food was also good. Definitely a go to for good vegan food

Reuben and fries
Neil T.

I love Gladys. They have the second-best reuben I've ever had in my entire life - and it's made of turnips! Every time I go to Edgewater Public Market, if I'm hungry, I don't even think about where to go or what to get. And take a look at this thing! It's magnificent.

3/21/26. Root vegetable Reuben deserves all the hype!!
Nicole W.

I was in town from Austin and my Denver friend said I HAD to get the root vegetable Reuben at Gladys'. It was as marvelous as she raved, absolutely unforgettable, pure plant-based perfection! I let my server choose my side and the fries with the drizzled sauce were delectable. A fantastic pickle accompanied the meal as well. I couldn't resist getting one of their vegan cookies for dessert-it was MAJORLY decadent and delicious. Y'all---treat yo self, get the cookie! All in all this was a major *chef's kiss* experience! A standing-ovation meal :-D As my friend did, I will be recommending this Reuben to anyone I know traveling to Denver!

The Ruben: my question to the United States of America is why is this not available at drive thrus instead of Big Macs? I understand why there is a cult dedicated to this marvelous sandwich that I felt compelled to eat two days in a row after my daughter gave me a bite of her leftovers. WOW!!! 1000 Stars! I aspire to try other menu items someday too, but I feel like it might be necessary to always get this sandwich for emotional support while experimenting.

Second visit was just as amazing as the first! I've tried the Reuben (10/10), Caesar Salad, the Flatbread, and the Lion's Mane Mushroom sandwich. Blown away by the quality and taste! Explosion of flavors in every bite. Service was very attentive, kind, and provided good recommendations for the neighborhood. The restaurant is located inside of Edgewater Public Market but still has an elevated chic appearance. Will be coming here time and time again! So happy to have found this completely plant-based restaurant.

A group of us from out of town came based on the suggestion of a local friend, and Gladys did not disappoint! I ordered the Po' Boi burger for myself and got the truffle sauce with my fries, and let me tell you, you MUST get the sauce if you like creamy, mushroom stuff! The Po' Boi was also delicious, and I got to sample a bit of the Kabocha Gnocchi, the Reuben, and the Sweet Beet salad, and they were all things I would order again! I honestly was surprised by how much I liked the Sweet Beet salad, as I am not typically a fan of grapefruit (which I believe was one of the citrus fruits included in the dish), but it's a great mix of sweet and earthy flavors. The location is inside of a food court type setup, so this also seems like a good place for a group with varied tastes, as if you have omnivores with a fear of vegetarian/vegan food with you, they could grab food elsewhere and I believe you could take your food and eat it out in the court area together. The decor is modern and reasonably trendy, and the restaurant was very clean (but we also arrived shortly after opening, so that's to be expected). I think it would make a decent date spot as well. I think next time I'm in the Denver area, I would prioritize stopping by here. It was really tasty, and a nice little gem of a restaurant!

Absolutely delicious!!! This is located inside the Edgewater Market and is a fully vegan restaurant where you can choose to eat inside or take it as a takeaway option and eat outside or in the common area. We ordered the Lucky (which is lions mane mushrooms) and Reuben. We also ordered 2 cookies as well. Everything was DELICIOUS! I'm glad we don't live in Denver area because we would be there on a weekly basis. The service was excellent as well.

Truly the best vegan Rueben on the planet... maybe even in the universe! The celery root is shaved perfectly, seasoned and flavored to perfection. The fires fresh and topped with the perfect amount of sauce. The gnocchi was absolutely comforting... massive serving size! The gnocchi was fluffy and soft, a dish that tells you what season we're in. The did not like the cookie, it was very dry. Service exceeded 5 stars. The interior is spacious, clean, and eloquently decorated with modern decor. I can't wait to return to Denver for another Rueben and more seasonal dishes from Gladys.

This place is to die for! I've been here several times and everything is amazing. I took my husband(who eats everything) to Somebody People last year and he was very underwhelmed because the serving sizes were so small. On our way into Gladys he warned me that he might get more food after- he was full when we left! He also thought it was amazing!

Diane K.

Wow! What an unexpected yummy treat. We both had a lions mane sandwich with delicious fries. A perfect 10. Seriously!

Ruben Sandwich vegan
Crystal M.

While perusing the public market, There's lots of good options, but this one is a must try! They have a rotating all plant-based menu with one staple and that's their Reuben sandwich. The flavors were there!! Love a good a Ruben and it's been a long time for me as I've been vegan for nine years, the sauerkraut, rye bread. you don't always come across to vegan Reuben sandwich. This is the one to try. The other gem we were lucky to try is their strawberry rhubarb vanilla cake! I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm so glad we got it. It was beautiful, decadent, sweet and tangy just like you'd expect from a strawberry rhubarb pie, but moist & creamy with the layer of vanilla cake & the vanilla sauce, pooling on the side. Service was very helpful and friendly as we were torn on what to get . The ambiance in the public market is very casual. Think of it as a fun adult cafeteria.

Caesar & Reuben

First time reviewer of food here- I used to be vegan, but do not discriminate- good food is good food and this was the most thoughtful curated menu and precious gem of a restaurant I've been to in a long time. The staff was first of all- so patient, graceful, and kind. I told my friend that I feel like everyone who works here loves their life and has low / very healthy cortisol levels. They then proceeded to be so kind in helping me (so indecisive) order the perfect lunch. After this, the waiter told me that no one had ever told him how cool calm and collected the staff seemed there before- and then - they all sang happy birthday to a coworker chef and presented him with a beautiful tiered vegan chocolate cake. Precious!!!!!!' Everyone worked with a smile, crafting passion into each dish- it was literally beautiful I felt like I was watching a culinary movie. Also Reuben and Caesar were among the best I've ever had of both. Who knew a Caesar could be so elevated- each bite required me to close my eyes and appreciate. Also - the dark chocolate sea salt cookie - get it :) so good 10/10 for everything. Will be back and so excited!!

(Vegan) Reubin Sandwich

Gladys Restaurant is clearly the best restaurant choice at Edgewater Market. I was skeptical -- a vegan restaurant. But yes, it is very special and if you did not know it was strictly a vegetarian restaurant, you might not know. A friend told me to try this place and while I had walked by it 100 times and passed (because it was, well all veggies, I'm sorry it took me so long to fine quality food. The celery root Reuben sandwich was spectacular. The seasonal cassoulet hearty and tasty. A large selection of non-alcoholic all organic cocktails available. ...and if you prefer wine/beer/ or mixed drink with your meal, Gladys clearly states you may bring in from the other vendors inside the market. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Inside the place is upscale, simple, comfortable with nice soft lighting. This was a cool place. ...and I bet when you leave, you will not have missed eating meat for a meal. Gladys puts vegetables on a pedestal and they stand out as the stars of the show.

The staff were friendly and talkative and the food came out fast. very good service…read more The food itself was awesome. Flavorful and good portion sizes. I had the Traditional Plate with Lamb and Misir (Lentils) as the side. The dish came with injera (a spongy flatbread that you eat the meal with). I also ordered an additional side of the Tikal Gomen (cabbage) and a Sambusa. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I have zero complaints and definitely recommend this place and will be back. All around a great experience.

As far as fast casual, Ethiopian food goes this place is hard to be beat. Indeed, during Covid,…read moreYelp was kind enough to offer an online cooking class with the owner that we took advantage of. We were very happy with the dishes we prepared and we continue to come back and get them. Probably my favorite thing to do is to get some nice takeout from here and take it over into Barquentine Brewing at the other end of the building. The Beef Tibs are probably my favorite thing but honestly, they do not make any bad dishes here. Over the last few years I have tried all the Tibs: featuring locally sourced Beef, Chicken or Lamb, sautéed in spices. I've had the Misir Wot (spiced red lentils), Gomen with Dinich (seasoned spinach), the Kik Alicha (yellow split peas), and the Tikel Gomen (curried cabbage). Of the veggie dishes, the lentil ones are probably my favorites. As they make this particular Dish seasonally, I have not yet had a chance to sample the Doro Wot (Spicy Chicken Stew), a spicy bone-in chicken stew simmered in Ethiopian seasoning, served with a hard-boiled egg. But I would like to.

Apparently Minnesota has its own burger thing, and I'm here for it…read more I wasn't particularly familiar with Minnesota-style burgers before checking out Lucy's, but I'm glad I gave them a try. The burgers are tasty, cheesy, and definitely worth stopping in for. What makes this place even better is the neighborhood feel. The owner is incredibly nice, and it's great to see a local business doing well. They've even expanded into the stadium, which is pretty exciting! They also have some fun things happening throughout the week, including bingo nights and other events. I love when a restaurant gives people a reason to come back beyond just grabbing a meal. It really helps create a sense of community. They also have a drink/cup program that's worth asking about if you plan on becoming a regular. Overall, a cool local burger spot with good food, a welcoming owner, and a little more personality than your typical burger joint. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you've never had a Minnesota-style burger before!

Best Indian restaurant in Denver metro, hands down! I can't believe I haven't written a review…read moreyet!! The Spice Room in the Highlands is the best one too, the others are great but this one is the best. A fantastic meal with good service at a great price- hard to come by in Denver! A few dedicated parking spots in front or otherwise on the surrounding streets.. whatever it is, don't let it deter you from coming bc they won't let you down. There's ~15 tables & everything is so fresh! You're served complimentary sauces with a thin roti-like cracker, and the sauces are all so good- my favorite is the cilantro one or the tamarind sweet one.. and they all go great on your dishes. The best appetizers are the samsosa chhole chaat- it's like a deconstructed samosa with crunchy bits & sauces on top, soooo good you won't want a regular samosa again! My other favorites are Chicken 65 & the veggie pakora (fried veg nests). Those 3 alone are enough for 2 people, but if you're super hungry, the entrees won't let you down either! Chicken makhani, biryani, tandoori chicken &/or the curries are where you'll never go wrong. All in all, I suggest you prioritize this Spice Room if you're even slightly an Indian food fan! Their variety of northern & southern Indian foods along with street food dishes are phenomenal.

Not the best, very over rated…read more The Naan is soggy and bland and the Buttered Chicken taste more like tomato soup than the dish... I do not recommend especially for the price. There's many better locations around!

She rarely checked up on us and tend to forget stuff we ordered it was to the point where I had to set a 20 min wait time expectation everytime we asked for something. She did take accountability and apologized so I do appreciate that. Overall an okay place to go maybe mostly for drinks and desserts.
