    Chicharon
    Victoria B.

    Well we did not feel very welcome, only went to this establishment, that where I grew up 60 yrs ago , and I felt like I didn't belong. Not a good feeling the chicharon was good , keep in mind owners that place had a history for a lot of people that lived in the area, welcome everyone .

    Pork Rinds

    We were here on a Saturday night so I thought it would be packed but it actually wasn't too bad. The waitress was very prompt coming over to give us menus. She's also very polite and nice, the food was great. We had an overall good experience.

    We stopped here for lunch during a recent road trip the food was excellent. The female waitress was friendly, efficient and polite. The food was freshly prepared to order and delicious. The drinks were deliciously prepared. We saw this place featured on Triple Ds and were not disappointed.

    Tater tots

    Tater tots were crazy good. Got buffalo wings too, can't go wrong. Cool place to watch the game. Service was good and quick.

    Really fun stop! We are in town from MN. Wanted a casual spot for wings and a beer. Curiously brought us in because of their connection to Guy Fieri & DDD! We had a few beers and ordered the tots (amazing) and wings. Service was great. Food was good. Beers were cold! Great view of Coors Field. Lots of TVs (we are Twins fans and the Twins were in town). We really enjoyed our time here. Next time we are in town, we will be back!

    Decided to stop by here for lunch and try some of the special dishes Guy Fieri raved about when he visited for Diners, Drive-in's and Dives. The scratch-made pork rinds came out crackling and had a citrus blend of lime chili salt. We went off Guy's suggestions and went with the K-town Rib Tips. Be prepared for your mouth to be on fire. The BBQ sauce is delicious but the pickled veggies pack all the heat. Finished off with a small serving of Tavern Tots since that is what Highland Tavern is known for and they did not disappoint. Crispy, light breading surrounding tasty shredded potatoes. Food prices are a steal! ($23 for our 3 items). Service is friendly and I appreciate the eclectic decor.

    I always say that Denver does not have enough sports bars or bars with TVs to watch a game. Highland tavern has plenty of TVs and pretty good bar food to boot. The staff is very accommodating to larger groups and even allowed us to split up checks. I tried the El Guapo burger with a veggie patty. The pickled red onions and green chile on top made for a tasty burger. The veggie patty was decent-- a bit thin and dry. The famous tater tots did not disappoint. They were crispy on the outside with an almost creamy, soft inside. Check out Highland Tavern for sports, tots, and a great view of the Denver skyline.

    Great spot for when you're in the mood for good bar food. The staff was nice and all the food comes fast and fresh. The fresh pork rinds were amazing. The tavern dip was a cool combination of a French dip and a pastrami sandwich! We're not from Denver so we also appreciated the local beers to try.

    Sandwich and tots

    Yes, I needed dinner and let Guy Fieri choose for me. I specifically picked Highland Tavern because it had appeared on DDD. I sat at the bar - there was a long wait for a table - and ordered the proper Bombshell Sammich with tots. It did not take long and it arrived. It. Was. Perfect. Housemade pastrami, Swiss cheese, brown mustard, tavern slaw and a fried egg on rye. More than a handful, a little messy and absolutely delicious. Oh, and the tots. Made in house, a little bigger than the usual and absolutely perfect. Bite-sized bits of cholesterol-laden potatoes. Parking in this residential neighborhood could be a challenge but I found a legal spot down the street and around the corner. It was worth the hassle. [Review 18894 overall - 79 in Colorado - 2417 of 2022.]

    Pastrami dip with tots. Sooooo good.

    They have the best tots around. Haven't had a bad thing here. Lots of beer options. Had a tangerine cream ale that was to die for. Also has views of Coors Field. Service is awesome and we received great recommendations for other places to visit in the area. Cool spot to check out. This is always a first stop when I'm visiting.

    Bombshell with fries
    Alexis Y.

    Friend came to town and we couldn't decide what to eat, so what better way than to let him choose off of a Triple D list! Highlight of the tavern had to be the many TVs around. We got to watch basketball, baseball, and ice hockey all at the same time during dinner. There's also a pool table, foosball, and a few other games. Food is pretty darn good for a tavern too. We got: -Green hatch Chile: more soupy than thick and heavy, which I really liked. It also had the right amount of saltiness. Pork neck bone also gave a great flavor. As a big soup gal, I was glad I got this. -Tatertots: big boys, crispy on the outside, potatoy in the inside. A must get since it's one of their more well known things -Bombshell: solid sandwich. Kind of soggy because of the coleslaw. Bread was a little more toasty than my preference. If I had to choose, I'd rather go with the tavern dip. -Tavern Dip: a nice variation of a pastrami sandwich. I swear there's some like maple syrup or brown sugar or some taste in there.

Warm, happy to have us there, easy to talk to. I mentioned to my friend that I was thinking about a bloody mary, and a minute or two later Ryan asked if he should get that bloody started. He'd caught it in passing conversation, not because he was hovering. That's a hard balance to strike and he nailed it all afternoon. The drinks were great. Nothing fancy on my end, a bloody mary, a shaken screwdriver. Not too strong or weak. Sounds simple, but a lot of bartenders can't consistently hit it! We all got eggs your way, simple stuff done well. The roasted fingerling potatoes were crispy outside, fluffy inside, super good!! The strawberry jam was giving homemade, but I didn't confirm. Overall, Ryan made the visit. Calm presence, good company, and there's nothing better than a brunch seat at his bar next to those big open windows!

I have been coming here since I was a kid and back then the place was packed with orange T-shirts and full of smoke.

The classic Eggs Benedict has always been my favorite and what I get just about every time. You can't go wrong!

The shrimp and corn grits were amazing, and I really loved the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Other dishes like the chickpea croquettes and the chili relleno were also pretty good and rounded out the meal nicely. The wait staff was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe. The only minor downside was that the outdoor heaters were a bit too hot, but that's a very small nitpick. Overall, an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Great food, great service, and a place I'd happily come back to.

I decided on the wings and my friend ordered a spicy burger. I got a full order of wings and they come out with lots of celery carrot which I love.

Great location, relaxed vibes, especially on a Sunday evening. The beer was solid, but the food stole the show (mostly across the board). Most of our group was happy with their dishes. I had the steak sandwich with a side salad, and the sandwich was top tier. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, and this one absolutely hit the spot. It was also pretty large, which made it more of a fork-and-knife situation than a handheld one, but no complaints there. A few people in our party upgraded their sides to the sweet potato fries, which were next level. Perfect balance of crispiness with a hint of sweetness that made them stand out. One miss in the group was the mac and cheese; my sister ordered it and wasn't a fan, felt it was too liquidy/runny and underwhelming compared to everything else we tried. Only minor knock overall was that the kitchen was pretty slow, especially considering it wasn't very busy late on a Sunday evening. Not a dealbreaker, but something worth noting if you're in a hurry. Overall, great first Denver meal; good beer, mostly good food, and a relaxed spot that made for a solid welcome to the city.
