    Chicken salad. Comes with mixed greens, carrots, radicchio, peppadew peppers, dried apricots, candied walnuts
    Natalie M.

    When I have to grab a bite, I always stop here. Quality is pretty good very fresh. I've tried the salad and the brie/bread. The salad comes with chicken, apricots, and other delicious toppings. This is delicious! Very filling and refreshing. The burrata is SOLID. It has a nice jam and comes with nuts. Love that the bread is buttered and toasted. I've always enjoyed what I've gotten. I need to try the drinks sometime.

    Great stop for a quick bite or a drink in the Denver airport. Comfy seats with friendly staff while you await your flight. I recommend the 5280 Lemonade!

    Smoked salmon salad with egg salad

    For an airport restaurant I was satisfied with the smoked salmon salad that I had. The service here was pretty fast and the staff was super nice. I thought the bar was a good spot to finish up some work before taking off. I forgot to ask for dressing on side, and for those of you that aren't huge fans of heavy dressing like me, definitely get the dressing on the side. My salad was pretty good, but the dressing overpowered a bit and I probably would have enjoyed it more with a lot less of it. I'd give it 3.5 stars, but who's counting the rounded up stars?

    I love finding new spots and meeting new people, this place have me both! It's long, rectangular structure provides a vast selection for seating, feels open and spacious. Anastasia at the bar is friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. I love the fact that all the drafts are local beers, keeping the choices and beer styles at home in Denver. I resolve to try the grub next time I come through on Sunday, if it's anything like the beer choices, ambiance and hospitality, it will meet all expectations.

    Bartender is so sweet and made the drink I requested wonderfully!! Such great placement for a bar and it's cute n classy! Will be coming back next time I'm in terminal B!

    Wow, usually can't get a table but I did today and happy. Food was great. Easy, quiet spot to work and chill. Certainly in the madness that is Christmas travel an oasis. And so impressed that they bring the second glass of wine in a carafe so you use the same glass. Eco conscious! My server, Curtis, was STELLAR! Merry Christmas!! P.s. so glad the United lounge was full....

    Upstairs vantage point and pretty quite! Drinks are serious here! When I say serious I mean seriously GOOD! Concourse B at the Denver airport... what a find. Get off the escalators and look up! It's a long bar with light food and 5 star craft cocktails. I recommend the holiday cocktails right now... they are wonderful! The service is stellar... the location relaxing... and the drinks are out of this world! I'm impressed! Power at every small table, TVs showing sports, two bartenders, several waitresses and just stellar ambiance. When I'm in concourse B you will find me here. Love the location... love the feel... I'll be back!

    Was coming off an early morning flight and had a two hr layover so was looking for a place to get a good lunch. I had read some previous reviews that gave this DIA eatery great reviews. It was early afternoon so I didn't have one of their drinks they are known for but they did have a great selection. I did however ask the waitress what the best thing on the menu was and she said I had to try the burrata plate. I get the appetizer and it was literally heaven on a plate. A soft mound of burrata with a sauce of thick, sweet balsamic vinegar and a couple of slices of warm, crusty, perfectly soft rosemary bread. Each bite was the perfect mixture of sweet, salty, and crunch that you crave. It was one of the best meals ever at an airport and I caught myself literally scraping every last dripping of the wonderful balsamic vinegar with the last bite of bread at the end of the meal. I also had a side of salad to accompany the meal. It was lightly tossed with an olive oil dressing and was a great light accompaniment to the cheese plate. The only downside to some is that because this is considered a bar you have to eat your meal in the lounge area and can't take food to go. If you have an hour or so and end up in Terminal B at DIA you should stop at the Lounge and try this plate of food. You won't regret it!

    There is no official website for Lounge 5280, but lots of other third party sites uploaded the menu to see. This sit down can be located in the center core, of B Concourse! (Second stop after exiting the train platform.) Currently under reduced hours, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. to be exact. They are located on the third level, so look up, take the escalator and take a seat. They have dine in, but be advised it is limited and reduced seating! Specializes in drinks and taps, and serves locally owned Colorado whiskey! I love the Shanahan's brand because it genuinely supports a small business and 5280 helps with promoting that. They serve Tommy Knocker's!! This wonderful Colorado Beer Brand is from Idaho Springs!! The original Tommy Knocker's is located there! They serve hot tea, (9 whole options) coffee and espresso, (6 options) bottled water at 4 different options, fizzy drinks (3 options) and even, get this: Breakfast COCKTAILS! 8 options for the morning gin hour. Enjoy tv at the sit down bar, or read the newspaper in the dining area. Bartenders are laid back, cool and knowledgeable on menu. Lounge 5280 is a stylish, upscale bar with a contemporary edge! I really enjoy getting a unique combination of the "Appetizer Plates," for $15.00. With that being said, I enjoy the Triple Cream Brie, because even saying the name sounds delicious. I love anything with Gorgonzola and Tomato Soup! The Tomato Soup is served with their fresh Rosemary Bread. I don't mind paying a little more, if it means I'll be comfortable during a layover here. This sit down is definitely enjoyable! Safe travels.

    Most of the apps on the menu with cheese, meat or hummus.

    Had what sounded like a long layover, but wasn't, thanks to this little spot. Comfy chairs, good food & drinks, and charging stations! Absolutely perfect place to spend an hour or more. Service was awesome! Incredibly helpful & flexible menu for dietary restrictions. If you are in the airport, highly recommend.

    Totally chill spot at the Denver airport. An upscale hang that's 2nd Floor out of the way of traffic. It has great lighting, which means easy to read, easy to work, easy to work on laptop or ipads. Best yet, lite bites, great glasses of wine (a big menu), smashing cocktails, and many brews. The service is really nice and friendly. The couple of times I went, 2 girls with an African accent were working. If that's not cool, I don't know what is. I like. I really like.

    Burrata mozzarella caprese. Tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette and basil FRESH & YUMMY

    BEST TASTING THING I'VE EVER HAD AN AT AIRPORT! We ordered the AHI POKI and the BURRATA MOZARELLA CAPRESEA And both we're fresh and delicious! I love burrata cheese and even though this one wasn't melt in your mouth gooey it was still dark close to the ones they serve at the high end restaurants. They also have plugs at each table for you to charge your phone!

    Arrived and checked in at the airport pretty early and the guys in our group wanted to have a few drinks before we all had to split ways. We all sat at the bar and the bartender was able to tend to us right away. Although I didn't want to drink my friend ordered me a mule (I forgot the name of it) but it was strong and tasty! It had a little spicy kick to it which I liked. Prices here was pretty high but expected since it's at the airport. ‍

"Which is more the classic style anyway." The drink had green flakes in it and was extremely watered down, complete with ice chips. My husband tried it and agreed, so I told Jamie I didn't like it. I ordered a canned cider instead. Jamie goes off about how it's a very spirit forward drink and I should've ordered something sweeter. He suggested an old fashioned for the next time. I let him know I regularly order manhattans, and this one was watery. As he scoffed and said something about how that's "impossible because it's made of nothing but booze", he breaks the glass while dumping it. After setting down my cider, he still pushes that I should ask for sweeter drinks. The lady sitting a couple of seats over says, "it's weird that he won't let it go. You made the drink wrong; like, it happens". Anyway, I'm only making this review because he ignored us completely afterward, which is why there's no picture. And Andrew was amazing to watch. I wish I'd have asked him for a drink but he was working the opposite end when all this was happening. I've managed bars and restaurants for over a decade and bartended for longer. This was the weirdest and most unprofessional experience I've had in a long time.

The dark-haired bartender responded with an extremely hostile attitude when we tried to order. We were told that the poke bowl (around $30) could not be made until 11:00 AM, despite it being 10:45 and the menu stating nothing about this restriction. When we asked if we could order it ahead of time and receive it at 11, she snapped, "NO, we can't even ring it in until 11," and then told us to wait outside. We complied initially, then sat quietly at an empty table near the hostess stand, completely out of the way. Shortly after, my friend informed us that the manager had approved placing the poke bowl order before 11. We paid, tipped, and sat back down briefly while waiting for the food. Within two minutes, the same bartender aggressively approached us and yelled for us to leave and wait outside. When my boyfriend calmly explained that we were simply waiting for food we had already paid for, she responded, "I don't care, you can go wait outside," and essentially kicked us out of the restaurant. This happened despite us being seated out of the way and not disrupting service, and in a high-traffic airport area where her reaction caused more disruption than our presence ever did. To make the interaction even stranger, after we waited outside, a male bartender brought us our food, handed it to us, and said "peace out" in a sarcastic and dismissive tone. This was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional food service experiences I've ever had. I've worked in the food industry for 12 years and attended culinary school, so I understand pressure and policy. This was not that. This was unnecessary hostility, poor communication, and a complete lack of basic professionalism.

Did I tell you drinks and food are included? If you fly more than twice a month, and there is a Centurion club in the connecting hub the Amex Platinum card will pay for itself. Everyone here seems to act like they are the reason this club is here. Is that entitlement? With connection flights, the crowd is constantly turning over. There is much seating with bar, high table, low table, and a 'kids' area to keep the noise down. It took me 33 minutes to get in on the waiting list today. The clubs secret seems to have leaked out.

I dined here recently for a bougie meal with a few work colleagues. It's an upscale restaurant, an homage to the steakhouses of yesteryear, yet modern and refined. For a Monday night the place was popping! Being with other colleagues, I was comfortable having a few others make the decisions. We landed on oysters as an appetizer and these were great. Being landlocked we always get the eye roll when they say the oysters are fresh...to their credit, they brought us a nice selection of East Coast and West Coast oysters that I found to be quite tasty! One of the best parts of dining at Old Hickory is their bread and butter. Like woah, it shouldn't be this good! Soft rolls and decadent butter, it's tough to beat a tried and true combination like this. Sides are a la carte like most steakhouses, maybe one day they'll change this! We ordered a few for the table. These were lacking in my humble opinion, the potatoes and brussels were just okay. They do provide a nice sized portion, and a single side can feed 2-3 people. Back to the good, a colleague and I shared the 24 oz. Bone In Ribeye. Now we're talking!!! This was cooked to a lovely medium rare, and loaded with flavor. Ribeyes are obviously one of the superior cuts of meat for a reason, this was buttery, rich, and damn delicious. I was stuffed, but we tried two desserts. I only had a bite of each, and these were presented beautifully and both great. I have to give a shoutout to our server, who took great care of us, made wine recommendations, and seemed genuinely happy to be taking care of us. Prices are very high, but the service exceeds expectations. If you're looking to ball out, Old Hickory delivers!

We had a server that knew the menu and made great recommendations. A great steakhouse experience is about more than just the food. It's also about the setting, presentation, and feeling of occasion. While the meal had several highlights, I wish the restaurant's atmosphere better matched the pricing and quality of the cuisine.
