    Cold stale bun that fell apart at first touch
    Mark O.

    Burger , Fries , and sales were great. The bun - not so much. The bun was cold, dry, and turned to what you see in the picture at first touch . So for $75 - we got 2 burgers , one drink , one salad, and one order of fries. Showed the server - he said - " that's obliterated- sorry " and that was it. Yea - never going back. Sucks as this place came highly recommended and we drove from South Denver to try it .

    Traveling through on our way to Rocky Mountain national Park. We stopped by this amazing burger joint. The burgers are generous and delicious (and messy) The lady taking our order at the counter was amazing. Answered all of our questions and provided excellent recommendations. Definitely recommended.

    After a long day of hiking this was a welcomed meal. We were overly impressed not only with the burgers but also the fries. they were delicious! For a small establishment they put a lot of culinary care into the food they serve. Not only was the food great, but also the service. sure we were the only ones in the place on a Sunday but the guy behind the counter was friendly and personable. I would love to come back her next time we are driving through the area.

    The food was great, it was in a good location, the service was quick and pleasant. The staff was very helpful. The ambiance was very different and cool like a bar type vibe. I got a burger and onion rings, the burger was really flavorful and good, the onion rings were very crispy and fresh, loved every bite.

    Dope ass burgers! Juicy and delicious with several options! Had the cream cheese burger on the sweet potato bun. Their fries are really good too! The chipotle sauce is great for dipping. We enjoyed eating outside on a great patio on a beautiful Evergreen afternoon! Loved all the criminal artwork on the walls too! The young lady that took our order was super nice and very helpful with suggestions. The restaurant is clean and well kept.

    Excellent burgers! This is on our way back from skiing; usually we go to the Mexican restaurant next door, but decided to try Illegal burger! You have a choice of their beef, chicken or black bean along with several kinds of buns including sesame and pretzel or no bun.. The burgers have names like The Godfather which feature sautéed peppers and onions. Mine was called the slinger and had bacon, onion straws and BBQ sauce. Fries are a la carte and they have several different kinds including waffle fries, shoestring and sweet potato! We will stop here again, El Rancho exit off of I70. Free parking.

    I came for vacation from Texas and my boyfriend found this spot. I would recommend anyone to come try this spot. The food, service and ambiance thumbs up. The cashier helped us with recommendations, thank you. We'll be back.

    Great counter server. I like that you can create your own custom burger and can go with the bun less option. Truffle fries are addictive.

I was torn between the swedish meatballs and the birria French dip, I got one and my friend got the other. Both were unique in their own way. It was so filing. Plenty of sides. My husband got sausage sandwich, and he said it was flavorful. The salt and vinager chips were different, most of our table did not like them. The waiter was very busy but nice. It took a monent to get our check. I wasn't ever asked if I wanted another beer. I fell like they are more a restaurant than a brewery.

Blackbird is cutesy and inviting with brightly painted exterior (featuring butterflies and sunflowers), cozy and wooded interior, with one hell of a Creekside view. The layout inside is a little awkward - and entrance is right near the kitchen. However, we maneuvered to a table in the corner near the window - with a nice, sunny view and was greeted by a friendly face who gave us a rundown of the specials and allowed us ample time to peruse the menu. We decided to sip on Arnold palmers and split The Rachel - essentially a Turkey Ruben with a side of fries and sweet potato fries - because two types of fries is always the right choice! Within about 10 minutes, our food arrived, which was just what the doctor ordered. Splitting the meal was perfect, as the sandwich was huge. Mom's fries were delicious while my sweet potato fries were a little burnt, but still yummy. Service was friendly, welcoming and accommodating to our lunch date. Pricing is on point and reasonable for a cute mountain town. I'd easily return!

The location is pretty, but the noise level was crazy loud. There was a particularly noisy table with guys shouting and the rest of the restaurant had to yell to be heard. We had to shout our order to the staff just to be heard. The tables are wobbly--noticed several with plastic shims to help balance, and no, they don't take care of it before you sit down. We asked and the guy nearly tipped over our drinks on us. Started with our drinks. Ordered some specialty drinks and they left the Sprite out of what we ordered. They brought a carafe of Sprite and they had run out of syrup so it was club soda. They remade the drinks and all was well. Burrata appetizer was trying too hard. Too much going on with flavors. It was just okay. Lamb ragu was cooked well, but lacked flavor. Mussels, hopefully, won't get me sick. I had a bad batch and one mussel that was so bad that I had to spit it out and it soured my appetite so much so that I didn't order anything as a replacement. Paella special was over cooked. And the pasta primavera tasted like a curry. The best item of the night was the beet salad. When we got our check, it was crazy expensive for four people. $250! And that was with only one alcoholic drink! They also didn't take my mussels off the tab, which we had to point out and they corrected right away. Also didn't help that we could visually see our server complaining to the other servers about us. We were absolutely polite and kind to everyone helping and still left a nice tip because we've both worked in restaurants. It's a pretty location with overpriced food that isn't that tasty and a server who doesn't understand that when things get messed up, it's the restaurants job to remedy it--especially for the price that customers have to pay! Ridiculous.
