First, wife is a vegetarian and they had no mains other than Mac and cheese for her. She ordered the salad without chicken which was $25. They knocked it down to $22 after I asked why it was the same price without meat, which still seemed like a lot for a salad with no protein. Kids' Mac and cheese was not the same receipe as last time; it was a different noodle and seemed to be needing some salt as it was pretty bland. Unlike our last visit they did not include an ice cream for dessert. My fried chicken and waffles was ok--the breading was a bit soggy though and I much preferred the Nashville hot chicken from my last visit. If I'm being honest this was closer to a 2 star experience, but with how good the last visit was, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they maybe tonight they were just off. That said--need one vegetarian entree for the menu.

I love a good deviled egg but this one was just okay, it lacked any flavor. I also saw people rave about the cinnamon roll but it was just okay and dry. Steak and eggs were simple and classic but not warrant the price point. A lot of the items on the menu were a bit pricey for size/taste/quality but for a special occasion or date night could be worth it. Located off Blake St so parking is on the street, or garage if you prefer. There are some pull off areas where we saw many people being dropped off first. Stairs & ramp which make wheelchair/stroller accessible. Walk-ins are acceptable or you can make a reservation online! Menu includes GF options. Cool outdoor area for seating & games. Indoor seating's include standard, bar, booths & tables.

I liked that the happy hour was just discounted items from the regular menu rather than a completely separate menu. The food was pretty good. I tried the tacos (yum!) the ahi tostada (so good), the squid fra diavolo (a little salty), and the artichoke fritters (just okay). Their frozen wines are good too. You can do red, white, or a mix, and you can add a floater liquor for a few dollars. Had a great time and would definitely come back!

I had the lobster mac and cheese, my boyfriend had the burger, and my friend had the salmon. Everything we tried was really good. One thing I do want to mention is that my friend has celiac, and unfortunately she did end up getting some cross contamination. She wasn't fully glutened, but it's something I'd be a little weary of if you have celiac or are very sensitive to gluten. I'd definitely still go back for the food, but I would just be careful depending on your level of sensitivity. Great service and the waitress we had was super helpful!

Butcher Block Cafe is the absolute GOAT hidden gem of RiNo, Denver…read more Welcome back to the good ol' days. Affordable diner food with great service. While this joint isn't fancy, they are doing it right. Reminds me of my childhood days when you could take the whole family out to eat for less than $30, and you're eating GOOD! The cinnamon roll is a must-get. The roundhouse meal was fantastic. The chef even came out to make sure we were enjoying everything. Old-fashioned pricing and hospitality FTW! While this place looks like a hole in the wall (and it may be), it's truly worth the visit. You'll find classic, homey vibes with great food at truly unreal prices for this day and age. I'm not sure why this spot has any negative reviews. I guess people would rather overpay for worse food at some other hipster Denver spot than support this great local business!

I actually spotted Butcher Block Cafe while we were driving to where we were staying because it had…read morethat classic little hole in the wall look that I always end up loving. Later I asked AI to find me a great breakfast spot that wouldn't break the bank, and this place was the number one recommendation. Holy shit... this is one of the best breakfasts, if not the best breakfast I've ever had. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The pancakes were warm, fluffy, and so good they honestly had me wanting to come back every single morning. They're also famous for their homemade cinnamon roll, and now I know why. It was absolutely massive, covered in butter, and did not dissapoint. The real secret star though is the breakfast burrito. Stuffed with meat, eggs, hash browns, and cheese, then topped with their homemade green chili gravy. Holy moly... that gravy is a work of art. I don't even know how to describe it other than I wanted to drink it. The flavor is unbelievable. I ended up eating breakfast here every day of our trip, which is something I literally never do while traveling because I like trying different places. Now here's the crazy part... the prices. This place feels like home and the prices match. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw breakfast this affordable. It feels like stepping back 10 or 15 years. Five people could have a filling breakfast here for about what two people would spend at First Watch or a lot of the trendy breakfast places. The staff was friendly, the food came out fast, and the whole place just has that comfortable local diner feeling that is getting harder and harder to find. Overall, I'll be eating here every single time I visit Denver no matter how far out of the way it is. This place is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend way too much time trying to recreate that green chili gravy at home... I already know I won't get it right, but I'm gonna try anyways.

Top notch experience all around. Major shout out to our…read moreserver, Johnny, who made our experience all the more enjoyable. Came with a group of 7 on a Wednesday with reservations, got seated right away. We all had cocktails and ordered food, family style to share. Drinks were good and came quick for being 7 cocktails! Food was great, but some of our fave dishes were: the elote hash, Mac and cheese, empanadas, steak, and chicken. Come hungry! Food also came out quick. For our whole group the whole dinner took under 1.5 hours all in. For our whole group with tons of food and drinks, including tip, we paid around $70/pp which was not too shabby. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun food experience and great service!

We sat ourselves, and a waiter came over to greet and bring us menus. There were tons of different versions of French dip, and lots of their menu items seemed to have Asian influence. we ordered the Karaage, the Saigon, and crispy potatoes. Everything came out super hot and fresh. The Karaage was like thin chicken strips with a batter with subtle Asian flavors (ginger/garlic). The crispy potatoes were VERY crispy- to the point that they were a bit overdone. The Saigon had flavors of a banh mi but with beef. It was an odd combination and I felt like the potion of meat was lacking but the Sandwich still tasted great. The jalapeños added a pretty spicy kick so keep that in mind if you don't like that hotness. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and the ambiance was very laid back and chill.

Ordered the chicken dip; chicken was really dry and the fries came out cooler than if they were fresh made. The bread was delicious though and the flavor of the chicken was very good. My friend ordered the grilled buffalo chicken wrap and it barely had buffalo sauce. She didn't have much else to say good or bad about it. Central Market as a whole: the building is jam-packed, very loud and when they're busy, it is hard to work your way through to get what you need or find a suitable place to wait for your order.
