Tavern Burger with Onion Rings
Yelen P.

Food - got Tavern Burger (BBQ sauce was good) with onion rings and Fire-starter Burger (not spicy, so spice level is nothing to worry about) with chips. Both were good. Service - server came to ask for my order many times, which increased my anxiety level and made it even harder to order. But the person was nice. Sadly his recommendation was no longer on the menu. Got a table quickly. Ambiance - laidback atmosphere. I would give this place another try, but I'll have to pick my order ahead of time. Their menu is very wide-ranging, so it can be overwhelming the first time if you have a hard time deciding.

Buffalo chicken sandwich, the buffalo sauce was runny, but chicken was crispy and tasty.

I had lunch in Niwot Tavern with some friends on a Friday. The place was fairly busy but the service was quick and friendly. We sat in the patio, which is at the front of the restaurant in the parking lot. The food is typical American fare with a little bit of everything. All of us think the food was good. So, this one is a keeper.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

First - I live where this restaurant is located. It's in the cozy niwot marketplace with cute shops and fun nighttime lighting. The staff was super friendly and there's just this cozy pub vibe when you walk in. My husband had the chicken sandwich. The bun was so soft! Their fries are natural cut (not my fave) but they were delicious - perfectly fried. We were greeted with large iced waters - always a hit in my book. I also got an iced tea (no lemon). The tea was fresh and I didn't feel the need to sweeten it. My beef stroganoff was delicious though the beef was shaved slices - like you'd use on a French dip. The noodles were perfect and that gravy -?irresistable. We'll def be back often!

Really not good green chili

I really enjoy Niwot Tavern. Its a place my coworkers and I used to go quite often for team lunches. I LOVE the caesar salad. Its delicious! I have never had anything else until today. Honestly was not that happy with it but thats on me! Thats what happens when you try new things. Sometimes its great, sometimes its not. Oh well. I have two suggestions - the brussel sprouts need some sort of sauce or marinade on them. They are super dry without. I made a mayo-siracha sauce to put on them and they were AMAZING. The apple added to them was so good! Second suggestion - get rid of the green chili. Its not good, AT ALL. Its weird. Has a weird flavor. Had only a few slivers of pork. Not a single chunk or substantial piece. Mostly tomoatoes and one corn kernel. It was weird. BUT it was cheap. So Im very thankful I did not spend a ton on it. I would just 86 that menu item.

Chocolate Chip Cookie and Milk Cake. The Taverns dessert menu is a perfect end to a perfect meal!

Hard to find anything wrong with the Niwot Tavern! Just like town of Niwot, it's small, inviting and the people are awesome. Even the locals treat you right. The food and drinks are above par. Their food is scratch made and locally sourced. They even grow their own mint which is why they don't serve mojitos during the cold months. Suggest you get there after 4:00pm and take advantage of the dinner menu. The Niwot Tavern is the kind of place that makes you feel a little bit better when you leave!

Perfectly cooked, hot out of the kitchen, quality was perfection. My 4-year old was ecstatic with the calamari and Mac & cheese. 9-year old loved the pulled pork & fries. Adults split the surf & turf and loved every. single. bite. Would recommend to anyone coming to Longmont.

So expectations were never high and thought it would be a tourist trap, yet, I wouldn't call Longmont touristy. So one day my wife and I got take out. Honestly, I was surprised. The food was fantastic. I don't remember what we got that time but it was memorable enough that we said we should go there for drinks and dinner. So a few months ago, not really craving anything particular and fresh off a hike but starving we decided to give it a try. Blown away. Food was exceptional. I got the salmon which is basically ordering fancy chicken at a restaurant. It was delicious. And the risotto was absolutely incredible. Service was great. When we asked what the server recommended he didn't give us a run around and say "well everything is good". He gave concrete recommendations and nailed it. Great place to go especially with family. Seems like it's a lot fun too

It had been 3 years since we met up with friends here. All of us were wanting to revisit this place…read moresince our first visit was so good. (And we don't live in the area). We were seated promptly upon arrival although did wait a bit for a server to appear. We arrived at the tail end of happy hour so that was nice. Happy hour is available at any table in the restaurant. We ordered appetizers of smoked trout dip and baked scallops. Both were tasty. Main courses were duck and fresh catch of the day which was trout. The trout and the veggies served with it were delicious. Whipped parsnips, roasted carrots, snap peas and spinach topped with a nice filet of trout. This place is small but very cute on the inside. Make sure to notice the ceiling fan. They have a large outdoor patio too.

Brunch at West Side has always been a favorite for the last several years... especially when I have…read moreout of town company visiting, so we made our reservation and went in this morning. We were all shocked to see the change in the breakfast potatoes... the au gratin potatoes have always been delicious and so unique to anything else at any breakfast/brunch spot in town, so when the plates arrived with fried potatoes you can get anywhere else, it was disappointing. The same dish we have always gotten, the Monte Cristo, was lackluster today. When we mentioned the potatoes the response from our waiter was "yeah that's been a common complaint"... which makes it obvious that we weren't the only ones who have brought it up and asked about the change. The service was decent and the food was good, but none of it compared to what it has been in the past. Oddly enough it was also quite empty for a Sunday at 10AM when were used to seeing it packed in there. Perhaps others have noticed changes that are less than customer-centric? Why make such a change to a staple item which then makes the meal no different than what I can find elsewhere for less money? Sadly it make not make the list next year when company is back in town when it's typically been their request.
