    Counter with one kiosk to the left.
    David R.

    Food is very tasty. Portion size is very small. Cashiers did not greet us or offer to take our order. They pointed us to a kiosk to order. Apparently the person in front of us had difficulty ordering so the line started backing up. Finally the cashier motioned us to walk up and order. Crowded eating area where a majority of the customers were getting McDonald's. Sandwich was tasty with fresh ingredients, but as you can see from the photo, about quadruple the bread to ingredients.

    I'm flying through DEN now, and my heart rejoices when I arrive or leave from the middle number C gates because that means tasty, healthy, reasonably priced food. $18 for a delicious and nutritious bowl with lots of protein before my next flight.

    I was on a very quick layover and had to get a bite before boarding. I'm always on the hunt for healthy meals and came across Modern Market. I quickly ordered the chicken and sweet potato bowl. Came out in very timely and I had time to eat it before I got on the plane. This is probably the best meal I've ever had in an airport. 10/10!!! It was so good, fresh, and healthy! Loved it! This is exactly what I was looking for - protein forward with healthy carbs, and the green spicy sauce was amazing! Appreciated the delicious meal!!

    For lunch, I ordered a Thai coconut salad, which was a bed of mixed greens topped roasted chicken, rosemary maple sweet potato, toasted coconut, cucumber, toasted peanut, pickled onion, cilantro, peanut mango dressing. It was an interesting combination of ingredients. I didn't necessarily loved it, but I didn't hate it either. The combination of flavors just didn't do it for me.

    Placing and receiving my order was an absolute breeze. They have a self-service kiosk that allows for a straight forward and customizable ordering experience. The customer service was brief but helpful. I ordered the the Smokey Chicken Bowl. They offered a generous serving of all ingredients - chicken, potatoes, quinoa/rice mix, tomatoes, slaw, and salsa. The chicken and sweet potatoes were wonderfully flavorful. The rice/quinoa was pretty bland but that is ok with the various ingredients to mix with it. The tomatoes and salsa, however, we're so spicy I couldn't taste a thing. I also ordered the Mac n' Cheese. They were cheesy with a hint of southwestern flavor, I liked it. The noodles were just a smidge overcooked for my taste (I prefer al dente), but that could be due to the time of day - I ordered at 730p, so it had probably been cooked hours ago and softened over time. I paid $26 for both items. Portions were large. All-in-all, it was a good meal but be forwarded about the spice & wowza.

    1.15.26: I had a layover in Denver and wanted to grab dinner without having to wait long at a sit down eatery. I also wanted something healthy, which is kind of hard to find at an airport without spending a decent penny. I came across modern looking for a pasta salad and to my delight they had healthy options. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and thought it was decently priced at under $20. The portion of ahi, veggies, and lettuce was pretty adequate and didn't leave me feeling bogged down. Greens were crisp and no signs of wilting, so that's a plus. Ambiance was hustle and bustle busy with travelers but I didn't feel I waited very long and I was satisfied with the value and freshness being it was "airport food."

    I love this place. The green chili egg and potato breakfast burrito is a showstopper. Awesome staff too.

    Seared Ahi Salad
    David C.

    I am a fan of going to Modern Market when I want a quick and healthy bite to eat. I assumed this location would be at least of similar quality to other ones I've been to before but that was far from the case. I ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and I was amazed at the lack of quality and care. First off, the salad just looked unappetizing and like it was just thrown together. Nothing was really seasoned or anything and the ahi was super cold like it was just taken out of a fridge. It tasted decent though. Service was pretty good with nice employees. Atmosphere is a little depressing there. It feels like a prison dining hall.

    I find myself at DEN a lot. Modern Market is my absolute favorite place to grab a meal when I'm in DEN. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast. My favorite item to order is the Thai coconut salad which comes with a peanut butter dressing. Absolutely delicious. It comes with chicken, but I also add tofu because their tofu is delicious. I always have to grab a curry sweet potato soup also. It's so good that I would to get the recipe and make it at home and eat it all the time. Casual. Modern is located near gate C31 in the Southwest terminal. Please come and create your own experience.

    Are there many vegetarian and or vegan options?

    About a quarter of the breakfast options are vegetarian. There are two that are vegan.

Who doesn't love people watching. I already knew I wanted a salad so I ordered the Cobb with crispy chicken. You also have the option of baked chicken and a few other options that I don't recall. OMG, it was very good with just the perfect amount of green goddess dressing. Bacon, avocado, tomatoes, figs.... YUM! The bartender was very accommodating and checked on me often, even though the bar was full with people passing time during their delayed flights. She was very pleasant. She recommended a local porter beer and it was tasty. Something like graham cracker porter. If I have a layover in Denver again, this is where I'll come!

I originally wanted to try the roasted Brussels sprout and bacon salad, but unfortunately, they were out. I decided to go with the chopped salad instead and added grilled salmon. The salad came with tomato, cucumber, red onions, garbanzo beans, romaine, pepperoncini vinaigrette, and fried pepperoni. Even though it wasn't my first choice, it was still very fulfilling and packed with different flavors and textures. Adding the grilled salmon made it even more satisfying and turned it into a complete meal. I really enjoyed the pepperoncini vinaigrette, and the fried pepperoni was an interesting touch that made the salad stand out from your typical airport meal. I was disappointed that I couldn't try the Brussels sprout and bacon salad, but I was happy with what I ordered. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the location near the C Gates makes it especially convenient when traveling. Overall, Bar Dough was a nice surprise for airport dining. I enjoyed my meal and would definitely stop by again, hopefully next time I can finally try that roasted Brussels sprout and bacon salad!

So after my husband ordered a $23 sandwich and a beer, I bought a burrito to go from the adjoined restaurant. When I came back over, the host stared at me but said nothing. I sat down and watched the host go talk to the server before the server came over and said they did not allow "outside food" due to being a health code violation. So I sat with my wrapped burrito while my husband ate lunch. After seeing staff from the adjoining restaurant go into the kitchen next to where we were sitting, I asked the server about it. He informed me that both restaurants had the same owner/management. So I asked why there was an issue with bringing my wrapped food over and he snarkily replied, "Are you kidding me?" And then said, "I don't make the rules; I just enforce them." He literally could not explain what the violation was and offered no one else (I.e. a manager) to help answer the question. On the food side, the Italian Hoagie was just okay so I would skip Bar Dough for a meal and go to the Mexican spot next door because the burrito was (eventually) delicious. Staff at Mister Oso was friendly as well!
