    Thai Coconut

    Ya know? If ten dollars is not out of your budget, I suspect that you will be well pleased with the salad options here. We were. Garden Steak Salad Urban Farmer Salad Baja Blackened Chicken Salad Salmon Caesar Thai Coconut Salad The place was tranquil and clean

    Buddha Bowl

    I stopped here to fuel up before a beer fest that I knew wouldn't have anything for the vegans. I got the Buddha Bowl and a cookie. Both tasted great, but the bowl wasn't very filling. My friends got the Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad and Aleppo Steak Sandwich--both were pleased with their choices. Overall, this is a good choice if you're looking for a light bite.

    I love a good Caesar salad and I love to get it everywhere I go! I ordered the salmon one at modern market and it was so good! I always love getting take out here after class because everything is so healthy and I don't feel crappy after eating here. It's always lively around lunch time and super busy. Some other items I like getting here are the garden steak and urban farmer!

    Healthy, delicious and fast! I've eaten at Modern Market Eatery a couple of times when I've traveled to Denver for work and appreciate the fresh options they offer! Sometimes you just need a quick lunch that's tasty and nutritious, and Modern Market delivers. I like their salads and sandwiches. Tomato soup was decent but not amazing. -1 star for cleanliness and organization. This spot seems perpetually understaffed so the housekeeping could be improved.

    I really enjoyed this! It's kind of similar to Sweet Green but less expensive. Did a build my own salad, which amounted to about $16 after tax and tip. It was not an excessive amount of food but a very reasonable meal. This location is right on the 16th street mall. It has WiFi and a lot of indoor seating. A good spot for lunch and doing work before or after catching a train at Union Station. Appreciate the vegan and GF options!

    Fresh, fast, and reliable spot right on 16th Street Mall! During our cross-country road trip, my dad and I spent a morning exploring Denver and found ourselves at the 16th Street Mall. I was in the mood for something light but filling, and Modern Market Eatery totally fit the bill. I ordered the salmon Caesar salad, swapped the Caesar dressing for balsamic vinaigrette, and was really happy with the result! The ingredients tasted fresh and balanced, and while the salmon was a little on the dry side, it still had solid flavor and seasoning. Service was quick and efficient, which I always appreciate when traveling. The restaurant itself had good vibes to it also. The only hiccup was that one of the women's restroom stalls was out of order, which left a bit of a line; otherwise, no complaints. This is a great option if you're in downtown Denver and want something healthy, quick, and reasonably priced. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone needing a good midday pick-me-up!

    Curry Salmon

    Super fresh, healthy & delicious food. I tried their curry salmon bowl - really satisfying meal.

    Mushroom pizza
    Alizabeth B.

    Had a mushroom pizza with the side arugula and goat cheese salad. That salad slapped. Pizza was tasty too. Decent option if you're near 16th!

    Chicken from bowl

    While staying in Denver we came here as we love a good grain bowl, and wanted something a bit healthier. Upon arriving we got in line and browsed the menu, when it was our turn to order I had a question about one of the items and if it could be modified as I was considering ordering it but when I asked, the cashier turned around, left the register and started making salads, and another worker came up. The new worker that came up didn't understand my question, and ultimately I decided to order a chicken grain bowl. The food came out quickly which we thought was great! The food in my bowl was all room temperature/cold as if it had been sitting out. My husband had the same problem with his. We thought that maybe it was supposed to be a cold bowl, so we went ahead and tried it. It only took a few bites to then uncover the "sketchy chicken" pieces. After seeing these I refused to eat the remainder of the bowl. It's extremely unfortunate because the menu concept seemed neat, the prices were a bit higher, so I was really hoping for a quality meal, but was left hungry and out thirty dollars. I wouldn't recommend coming to this location currently. I do hope they are able to get it together in the future as it does have a neat menu and good potential!

    The menu offered enough variety that any diet preferences or restrictions could find a delicious option. The gentalme that took my oddr was patient and helpful as this was my first visit. The space is bright and soothing. It felt clean and inviting. I ordered the build your own bowl with salmon, sweet potato mash, an arugula with goat cheese salad! It was delicious. I would recommend this as a quick nutritious option in downtown Denver!

    Baja Blackened Chicken

    Another great experience! Food was fresh and delicious! Would recommend would return!

    Chicken and steak bowls ! Both chicken and steak were dry and chewy. But great presentation
    Mecede A.

    Staff were friendly and menu had various options! We ordered various dishes including chicken and steak bowl/ salad and steak sandwiches. Unfortunately both chicken and steak were very dry and chewy! However we loved the drink selection particularly the cucumber mint. Pizza was good too.

    Blackened Chicken Mango, Curry Salmon
    David M.

    Great place to eat! Very convenient place to grab some food, it took very little time to wait for the food. We ordered the Blackened Chicken Mango and Curry Salmon. The BCM was very flavorful. The curry salmon was too, just not to my taste. Modern industrial interior, you bus your own table.

    Leven Deli - Pastrami Reuben Sandwich

    Leven Deli Co. is what would happen if Ron Swanson opened a Jewish deli in downtown Denver and let…read moresouthern blues play over the speakers while he worked. There's no performance here, no hospitality theater, no one asking how the first few bites are treating you. You walk up to the counter, you order, you take a number, you sit down. The food does the talking. And the food has a lot to say. I went on a bright Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and ordered the classic breakfast, swapping bacon for pastrami (a first for me) with an everything biscuit on the side (also a first). Both were revelations. The eggs over-hard might be the best version of that order I've ever gotten from a restaurant -- just a whisper of uncooked yolk in the center, perfectly seared on both sides. Skillet potatoes were spot-on. The skillet pastrami was rich and properly crisped at the edges. And the two generous slices of sourdough arrived with a scratch-made blueberry jam that I ended up smearing on everything I could -- sourdough, biscuit, probably would've eaten it with a spoon if no one was looking. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which clearly belongs in the staples category. The baguette was the star: toasted outside, pillow-soft inside, zero tug-of-war with your teeth. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. This is the Ron Swanson part: there's an unapologetic confidence to this place. They know exactly what they're doing, they're not trying to oversell it, and they're not interested in charming you into liking it. They're just going to hand you something excellent and trust you to figure out the rest. The coffee was good. The food was setting-a-benchmark good. A real 5 out of 5 stars, no pickin nits. Mild observation, not a complaint: the service is counter-only, no traditional table service. Would Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon dropping plates off elevate the experience? Sure. But Ron wouldn't have it any other way, and honestly, neither would I after eating here. If I lived within 45 minutes of downtown Denver, this would be my destination breakfast. As it is, I'm a 12 hour drive away, and if it were only 11, perhaps I'd go tomorrow. The real downside? The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture.

    In Denver on the way home tonight and need a great sandwich for the plane. I've been to Denver…read morenumerous times and have never heard of Levan's Deli. That changes tonight. We arrived at noon only to find a huge crowd with everyone enjoying outside dining on a sunny day. This place is hopping and the staff is working their butts off. The energy here super high and I wish we were not pressed for time. We ordered a 12 day old pastrami on an unbelievable home-made toasted rye bread with Jarlsberg, Levin sauce and cabbage. The sandwich was hot, tasty and flavor-packed. The crust was a bit tough but it did not stop me from inhaling. The menu is vast, energy is high and this is a place you just were you want to be. I can't wait to return with plenty of time to drool over the menu and survey the dishes flying out of the kitchen. Great job, fun environment and tasty food, congrats Levin Deli!

We had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, the sloppy gnome, the patty melt, eggplant parm, the Cuban, and great fries. We shared, and everyone was thrilled with the flavors and textures. I was so happy my friends enjoyed Jersey food as much as I do! We all loved the atmosphere, and the seating is plentiful inside and out. The parking is wonderful since they have their own lot! I have to add that we asked to speak to the owner, Ken. We were told he is not really a talker. To our surprise, Ken came over and was terrific! He told us the story of his dad starting at 4 am every day to begin the prep for the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for all the Jersey trades workers and other patrons. This is a strong part of the NJ culture. Ken told us the story of how he got connected to gnomes (ask him to see the tats). Ken shared his favorite Jersey food and how he got to Colorado. Great stories that should be on the website! Ken also spoke extremely highly of the brew master. Since I am not a beer drinker, I have no recommendations. This is a fun place to visit! We drove 40 minutes to get there, and we all want to return soon. Thanks, Ken and your talented staff!

They simply Do Not care about general food safety getting a hot meal here is rather risky I will explain why. My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.
