We got…read moreour food to-go (so this review won't be on the restaurant itself and service), but can point out that this location feels more refreshed (clean) on the inside than the other location. Also, our food was ready for pick-up early! Many patrons come to Sports Page for their chicken tenders. They are good, but are getting smaller and smaller. I got the side salad and fries with my tenders. Their fries are pretty good (not too greasy) and give you a lot of them, while their salad is fresh but ranch is a bit runny. They are consistent with the quality of their food and service, which is a good thing. I can promise you that every time you go to Sports Page that you will always have good customer service with pretty swell food. If you prioritize a clean and maintained restaurant over proximity, you should come to this location instead of Coulwood. Great job Sports Page!

We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, and our party of five adults and two kids was seated quickly. Midtown is one of our favorite places to eat whenever we're in the Denver area visiting family, and it never disappoints. Once we were seated, our waitress was polite, attentive, and had our drinks out in no time. Of course, us Griggs had to order the Southern sweet tea! My wife's grandmother ordered an alcoholic drink from the bar, and it came out just as quickly. After looking over their huge menu (which we always enjoy because there are so many great options), everyone finally made their decision. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with tater tots, and let me tell you--the burger was HUGE! It looked like it weighed a pound. It was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and the tater tots were extra crispy just the way I like them. My wife ordered the quesadillas, and the portion was so generous she could only finish half. Both of our kids got the chicken tender meals, which were free with the purchase of an adult entrée that day. They both ate well, and we still had leftovers to take home. The chicken tenders were cooked perfectly. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and by the time we left, we were all completely stuffed. Midtown continues to be one of our favorite family restaurants because of the friendly atmosphere, great service, generous portions, and consistently delicious food. We always look forward to coming back whenever we're in town. Thank you from the Griggs Family!

I will say, my wife and I were definitely the youngest diners in the restaurant. Overall, it was a very lovely experience, and we will 100% be back. The only slight negative was that we found the hostess to be a little unfriendly. We arrived at 4:30 without a reservation, and at that time there were only about four tables with diners. She asked us how long it was going to take us to eat because they had reservations at 6:00. I thought that was an odd question to ask, because how fast we eat really depends more on how quickly the meal is served than anything else. Other than that, everything was great. The ceilings are high, the atmosphere is airy and bright, the windows are tall, and the whole space felt clean, fresh, and modern. My wife enjoyed their sweet tea, and we started with the whipped ricotta dip, which was absolutely out of this world. My wife ordered the steak frites, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the fish and chips, which were perfectly cooked. Our server told us it was her first day, but she did an excellent job and was very friendly. We will absolutely be back to try more items from the menu. And as it turned out, the hostess had nothing to worry about--we were in and out in an hour. To those about to nosh, we salute you!

Real talk the fries were warm but not hot or fresh, the onion rings were very over cooked in my opinion (no onion at all the entire thing was crispy) and the burger was so so definitely not best in Denver as claimed. Overall I'm kind of disappointed to spend almost $20 before tip for this meal.

"And I ask myself ... how did I get here?"…read more I got here because I had been in the car so long that I was playing an ear-flapping game with the seatbelt with my left ear (not with my right ear because that would be weird.) Since we were in this state of mind, it was time for some Ka. Idk wth 'Ka' means. Apparently it can mean a question or something related to aroma but it probably means something else. I know they had a sign in the bathroom stating to be careful because the toilet doesn't always flush well, but that would require another 'Ka' and the mind of a three-year old so .... yeah. For the record, if you look at the photos, I included one of Play It Again Sports next door just in case you wanted to rent a bicycle and ride it over to Ka for lunch. As far as Ka's service, it was superb. And this place is super clean. And the carrots are perfectly cooked, and the chicken is cooked almost to perfection. My only gripe is the lightly-flavored yet massively-applied teriyaki sauce with the lo mein noodles. I couldn't finish the noodles and if I don't finish a meal, that is odd. Because, remember, in 1997, you were constantly reminded that there were people starving in China (not Japan because they printed money and devalued their currency in order to prop up their economy; and around that time, the real estate in Tokyo alone was worth more than all the residential real estate in the United States. Something like that anyway.). I tried to transition from China back to Japan. For Ka (a Japanese establishment), clean tables and pretty good value--I think I just ordered the wrong thing despite usually loving the dish I ordered when I order it elsewhere. I think it would be wise to go with Habachi and rice next time. Based on all the reviews, this is a great option, whether you ride a bicycle over or not.

They used to have a sign that said "No WiFi, talk to each other," But didn't see it this time around. Anyways, Linebergers is a great spot to eat at if you are looking for some good food in the Lake Norman-Mooresville area. This is a fairly casual steakhouse, so if you don't dress up you won't be the odd ball in the room, but you certainly have a choice. Every server is fantastic. They are friendly, they treat you like family, and are quick. To my knowledge, almost every entree comes with a trip to the salad bar. They have the BEST salad bar. DO NOT SKIP ON THE SALAD BAR! They also give you warm rolls with "Texas Roadhouse style" honey butter to start. I highly recommend the prime rib as an entree. Don't get me wrong, it's not the absolute best prime rib I have ever had, but it is up there. It has great flavor, is seasoned well, and is tender. Their creamy horseradish is just ok, but that does not ruin the quality of the meat. The last couple of times they put chopped onions in my mac-and-cheese, which was weird and didn't taste good at all, but luckily this time there were no chopped onions. Both my older and younger cousins got the mac-and-cheese also, and one said that the cheese was too bland, while the other said that the cheese was too strong (sharp). Me personally I think that it is on the more bland side, so Linebergers can take that advice and apply it into their recipe, but nonetheless it is still good. They have the best dessert called the "Lake Norman Mudd Pie," which is essentially a layer of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and Oreo pieces. It is a good treat to have every once in a while, but is rich!! But, if you want a sweet treat, I would recommend opting for that. As a summary, the hospitality at Linebergers is unbeatable and has some pretty solid food (don't forget about the incredible salad bar). Once again, if you are in the area, do not miss out. Head to Linebergers! You will not be disappointed.
