Lots of healthy options! And the prices are very affordable. I love their vegetarian soup selections! read more

Sent my hamburger back after biting into gristle in the first two bites. Used to have some of the best burgers around, and maybe it was just a bad batch of meat from the supplier, but its a red light for me. read more

This restaurant is located in AdventHealth Castle Rock right by the main entrance. As an employee you can use your badge to pay which is nice! This is truly an elevated hospital dining experience. Most hospitals just have few selections for food but this restaurant has a full menu and wait staff. The food comes out fast and they are very friendly. Everything we tried was delicious. They have weekly menu options for a special burger and pizza of the week. You can also order ahead for pickup too which is a nice touch. If you're loved one is in the hospital this is a nice reprieve and escape from visiting the hospital. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating inside and if you take your food Togo there are outdoor areas to sit as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Manna Restaurant - Ranch Steak - New American Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

This review is based on my visit for lunch on 1/15/2026. Came in for lunch at 1:40ish and was sat rather quickly at the bar counter that faces the kitchen. Get my menu and everything seems normal, look it over make eye contact with a few of cooks and then decide on my food. After about 5ish minutes someone finally acknowledges me and I place my order, soup/sandwich and Dr Pepper. Around this same time, someone sits next to me at the same counter. Immediate hi from someone in the kitchen, let me find someone to take your order, the full red carpet. They place their order a few minutes later, and we are off to the races. We are now about 10 minutes from when I placed my order drink and soup comes. Cool, just going to wait for my sandwich but eat a few spoonfuls. Another 10ish minutes pass and I have now finished my cup of soup, still waiting on the sandwich. Here's where things take a turn, person next to me gets their order and lo and behold it looks like what I ordered soup/sandwich and some kind smoothie/shake thing. At this point it's almost 215 and my lunch hour is almost over and still no sandwich in sight. So I got up, paid for my had a cup of soup and Dr Pepper and went back to work. Thanks for helping me keep my calorie count low today Manna. read more

Let's start with, I know it's at the hospital and that part it strange considering the level of food they serve but I'll had to move past that part eventually and so should you. We moved here 5.5 years ago from Chicago. We heard from many people that we had to check out Manna and I think we were all secretly weirded out but the thought of going to the hospital to dine. I have had some serious health issues since childhood so hospital food by its very definition is not appealing but this is NOT hospital food. I promise! We finally went to Manna last year for the first time when we had some family in town and we needed to find somewhere close to home to go eat. We sat at the big table by the window and John was our server. We ordered everything you could imagine off their menu and not a single complaint from any of the 8 people with us that day. John was WONDERFUL!! I have to give him a huge shout out for his attention to detail, kindness and knowledge of the menu. We even had some obscure question that he didn't know the answer to he promptly ran into the kitchen to ask the chef. I love their limited menu. Less options means they are focusing on making every dish perfect and that's ok! This is how more restaurants should do it. Their pizzas are great. We love the prosciutto with mozzarella. I've probably had it about 7 times since. Their burgers are awesome. Nice quality ingredients and made fresh. The buns are never stale and they brand them with a "M" every burger, every time. Their fries are always fresh and delicious. Nothing is greasy and I think that's why we like them so much. We love our calories but we are not fans of grease at this house so we tend to favor restaurants that are not greasy. These folks definitely qualify. The staff here are friendly and did you know all their tips are donated to the hospital? I love this. We were assured by our server that they are well paid and in support of this arrangement. I love it. We order from here probably every few weeks or maybe once a month since our first visit and being that we cook VERY well at home, says a lot about our neighborhood Manna. Thanks for all you do guys! We love you! read more

This is probably one of the best "hospital" cafeteria I've ever seen. Foods are reasonably priced and completely customizable. The Yucatán cauliflower taco was very delicious, as the cauliflower is soft and flavorful and sweet, though I'd wish they had corn tortillas option instead soft wheat tortillas. The crispy Brussels sprout was very toasty and a bit bitter but that's expected with Brussels sprout. We had cojita on the side from the taco so it's perfect to sprinkle on the Brussels sprouts. The custom pizza was the best, fresh ingredients thin crust, flavorful. Just what we wanted. Since they close on weekends we ended up ordering more, like the Colorado Lamb Burger with blueberry sauce and local goat cheese. The flavor was great and unique! And some Mac and cheese for the kids. The younger ones didn't like the Mac and cheese because it's probably creamier than they are used to (which is actually more preferably for adult palate). read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Weird spot off the lobby of the local hospital with OK'ish service but tasty and healthy food and a salad bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The food is fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant ambience is nice, especially for a hospital[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service is excellent. It can be slower but everything is prepared fresh, not a cafeteria meal. read more

This restaurant is so good. Worth the drive down from Denver for sure! Trying to recreate the flank steak foccocia for dinner!

Soooooo I have been going here for awhile now each time I go visit my brother. It's a must go for us to eat. It's a hospital restaurant haha. It's inside a hospital and they have pretty damn good food for hospital food. They change their menus a lot too so you get different dishes to try. When we recently went to visit we had the Thai curry pork cutlet which was so good! It has crispy jasmine rice! The curry was bomb! Definitely wish they gave more hahah! Their cilantro lime wings was good too! My brother always orders their elote totes which is good too! Their kids meals come with a drink and dessert! Can't go wrong with that for $7! We definitely always come back so def a must try if you haven't been yet! Don't get discouraged by the hospital haha the food is good! read more

Manna Restaurant - New American Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Located in Advent Hospital, and easy to access -- enter thru Emergencty entrance/Main Not your typical hospital food. Nice pizzas -- can order gluten free crust. My favorite is the Diamond Ridge. Great salad bar. Tips go directly to charity. read more

This is one of the better meals I've had in Castle Rock. Pizzas are handmade and cooked in a proper pizza oven, tasted great. I got the steak, cooked perfectly and tasted good. A little under seasoned maybe for the relative thickness, but a minor critique. We will be back. read more

First of all, the service is second to none. The food has a very curated taste that makes it feel home cooked- I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese! And the prices were amazing! read more

Yikes - $76 for two - so much for much lower meal costs at Manna. We had a wedge salad (teeny, not that good (which is very surprising for Manna whose dishes are almost always super flavorful and delicious) and it costs $10! I had the steak dinner, which had potatoes and broccoli on the plate - good stuff. But my wife had the salmon dinner, which had fish on humus - not a dinner plate at all, So disappointing and expensive (for Manna) and the service was friendly but slow (and that happens once in a while). We'll go back but will order items we know, or get very specific about their specials. read more

#1 most awesome deal in dinning! Stopped by to try the new menu! Cola braised short rib and Lebanese Muhammara! Beyond delicious! read more

Manna Restaurant - Pickle pizza, 3 soup sampler (tomatoe,clam chowder,beef broth). - New American Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Servers are all very nice and food is always cheap and tastes amazing, Love the religious side of it.

Always interesting delicious foods and a very pleasant staff. Money well spent. Can't wait to go back.

People always do a double take when we say that one of our favorite restaurants is at the hospital. But it's true, this is one of our favorite places! The food consistency and quality has gone slightly down in the last few years (I'm blaming covid and staffing) but it's still really good. Especially for the price! We can feed our whole family including an appetizer (or two!) and beverages for under $40...that's nearly unheard of nowadays! The kids meals are huge...my son always has leftovers for the next day. His favorite part is the little cup of gelato he gets after the meal! I love that it has a seasonal menu (although it doesn't seem to change as frequently in the last year) so there's always new stuff to try. The service sometimes isn't super attentive/great but not terrible. read more

The whole experience was 5 star from start to finish. The servers were friendly and because it was my first time, helpful with suggestions. I ordered the Chicken Katsu. Off the charts flavor. I wanted to lick the plate good. The ambiance is quiet, the decor is modern and it wasn't so noisy that you couldn't hear your party talking. Impressed!!!! read more

Manna Restaurant - Chicken Katsu, flavor off the charts. The curry married up to the kale and the tang of the pickle was a delight. - New American Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Manna is an underrated Castle Rock gem - This unassuming little restaurant at the bottom of the Adventist Hospital provides guests with a surprisingly gourmet dining experience in intimate booths in a quiet area off the lobby. Manna has a wide variety of amazing Vegan options including dairy-free cheese, plant-based meats, and a range of customizable plates that can be made vegan after removing an ingredient or so. This restaurant is tip-free so the staff receives a wage without relying on gratuity and they're routinely helpful and friendly. For the high grade of food offered Manna is amazingly affordable and oftentimes we leave paying less than $35 for two people including an appetizer. Definitely check out Manna as it's one of Castle Rock's best dining experiences with actual chefs in the kitchen, seasonal menus, and cozy vibe. read more

Get the heck out of here! The best food I have had in Colorado since moving here! The 4x4 burger out of this world. The staff so sweet and welcoming! No tipping allowed so I always give to the charity they have attached! Could not be a better place for incredible food read more

What an amazing surprise this place was! I almost didn't go, but thankfully trusted the other reviews. The food was astounding!! Go! Enjoy!! And tip well...all tips go to charity! read more

This restaurant is an interesting cross-section of fancy restaurant and cafeteria. Staff were not super attentive but were nice. Prices are outstanding. The burgers are delicious! The other things we ordered were...odd. The flavors didn't come together well. Nothing was poor quality, just not worth getting. read more

Yes, it's in a hospital. You read that right. My husband and I kept hearing about the restaurant, Manna. Our friends said it was the best place to eat in Castle Rock. We decided we'd check it out. You walk in and almost forget you're in a hospital. With table service and a full Chef's menu, this is far from a hospital cafeteria. Our waitress was friendly, with lots of suggestions! She recommended the gnocchi as the starter. It was delicious! We loved the unique combination of sweet potato, ricotta gnocchi and braised beef. It could have been an entree, but we split it as a starter. We both enjoyed burgers for dinner. I had the "Fatted Calf" and my husband enjoyed a classic burger. With a branded brioche burger bun, this is far from what you'd expect to eat at a hospital. This spot was great! Surprisingly, hospital food can be delicious and high quality! I took away a star because of the slightly confused ambiance. You never quite forget you're in a hospital. The lighting and the long walk to get to the restroom through the hospital lobby, remind you. read more

Have never had a bad meal at Manna. Everything has been 5 star quality or better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]People my think this is a hospital cafeteria, but it is the furthest from it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Manna gets recommended in FB groups for places to go and have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. It is in the normal rotation of places to go and eat for this family. read more

The food at Manna is always stellar and the service staff are always pleasant. we go here at least once a week if possible. It really is one of the top, if not the top restaurant in Castle Rock. read more

This is not hospital food. It is exception food prepared in a healthy manner. Pizzas are first class. Soups are to die for. House made gelato changes daily and is delicious. You can't beat the prices. read more

My partner and I were tooling around Castle Rock when hunger pangs hit. Not being familiar with the area, I pulled up Yelp to see what was highly rated in the area. We were hesitant to visit a restaurant in a hospital, but the sheer volume of enthusiastic reviews convinced us to give it a go. So glad we did! The atmosphere was a very pleasant surprise - beautifully decorated, comfortable, and sleek. Our server was a wonderful friendly woman who joked and conversed with us throughout our meal. We ordered a ton of food because we couldn't decide on what looked best. That was okay because the prices are so reasonable, we could afford to pick and choose and take the leftovers home for future meals! We were very pleased with the variety on the menu and the quality of the food we tried. We are looking forward to visiting Manna again the next time we are down south! read more

Manna Restaurant - We couldn't decide so we got everything. - New American Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Each week I have lunch with family and or friends. Decided to look for a new restaurant than the ones we go to and enjoy. Would like to share an incredible experience (who knew) at Manna restaurant. With casual ambience, that serves (no pun intended) a cornucopia of delicious food, locally sourced, (where the menu lists the vendors that they purchase from), each dish is marked with letters so you know if it is (V, Vegan, GF, if it contains nuts, etc). The service is excellent, at a price that is NOT to be believed! You can leave a tip, which you should, (here's the caveat) the tip is donated to charity). The location was a bit of a surprise let alone a shock. Located in the lobby of a hospital. That's right, you heard me, in the lobby of Advent Health, in Castle Rock, Colorado. When our server asked us if this was our first time dining at Manna, we were told we were in for a wonderful culinary surprise. During our meal we were greeted by Dan Shay, thanking us for coming and explained what Manna is all about! Kudos and accolades to Manna, its staff, for the excellence of its food, service, conscience of how a restaurant should do business! read more

Service is horrible ambiance is awful it's located in a hospital I would not recommend coming here ever!

Hidden gem at the Casterly Rock. The restaurant is located in the hospital entrance on the west side of building. It's weird coming to a hospital for food but if you think about it, the doctors and patients probably need healthy food right? Lots of superfood options for gluten free people and vegans. You sit at a booth and your servers will take your order. They don't accept tips! You pay at the end and the cashier has a tip jar which you choose a non-profit to give your tips to if you choose. Price is reasonable and my favorite is the salad bowl for $5 and they have sliced beets, we've got the beets we've got the beets... yea! read more

I have been eating here for years and remember the first time someone told me about it AND said it was located inside CR Adventist. A great restaurant in a hospital? How can that be? This place is seat yourself, but they have wait staff that waits on you after you've sat down. The food is creative and delish. I've yet to have a less than wonderful meal there. Just wish it wasn't a 30 min drive. In fact, the only complaint I do have is that they don't serve liquor and aren't open on the weekends. I wish they would have an entrance from the outside so as to avoid having to enter the actual hospital lobby where they still require masks. Ugh! I still didn't wear one. And the fact that the hospital requires the employees of the restaurant to wear masks it complete and total overreach. There isn't a restaurant in the entire state requiring masks, except this one. Enough already. read more

You wouldn't think to go here since it's located in the hospital, but it has delicious food!

They've changed the menu and the majority of the items are spicy as in middle eastern spices, curry, etc. For a hospital, you would think they would have some comfort food style offerings, but even the waiter said that most of the food has a certain kick to it. My tummy couldn't handle it. read more

The ramen was so good, my son won't stop taking about it! That's the typical experience when ordering at Manna. All of the food is good...and that's no exaggeration! The outside is a very unassuming and the entrance looks as if it's a typical cafeteria. That couldn't be further from the actual truth. The inside looks and feels like a nice restaurant. You'll completely forget it's attached to a hospital! A definite hidden gem! read more

The Manna is my favorite restaurant in Colorado! The prices are excellent and the food is always tasty. They have a unique menu with items or entrees that you can't get anywhere else. They rotate their menu every so often with new entrees or mains as they call them, with new intriguing combinations. At one point my favorite dish was a pumpkin prepared fish with a marshmallow glaze with steamed fruit served with it. It was amazing. My favourite items to order are the Diamond Ridge pizza and the Cinnamon Sugar Plantains. The Diamond Ridge pizza is a combination of beef prosciutto, fig preserves, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, and balsamic glaze. It is FANTASTIC! The staff and service is always pleasant and do well to answer questions about the items. I always go to the Manna if I have the chance. They are closed on Sundays and Saturdays. read more

Food was tasty. Service was fairly fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was nice, given that it was inside the hospital.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

So I made a trip to the hospital just to check out this restaurant and I am so glad we did! We got the roasted asparagus and local mushroom tacos. When I bit into them I was so delighted! I couldn't believe how many great flavors were encompassing my taste buds. The presentation was beautiful as well! I know I will be coming back here for them! The gluten-free Panko crusted chicken wings with the aioli were just as tasty! I loved the Meyer lemon aioli! It came on a black slate with aioli on the bottom for you to dip. I also got a small plate at the salad bar because they had so many options up there! Grape leaves, fava bean and sun-dried tomato salad, and another cauliflower, artichoke and feta! Everything had the perfect balance and flavors! We were definitely not expecting this place to be that good! I can see myself coming here again! read more
