What a great way to celebrate the 8-year anniversary of Zigzag Smoke and Burgers and Meatball…read moreEatery and Libation! Congratulations on eight years! I had the hamburger, and it was really good--juicy, flavorful, and satisfying! But the real showstopper was the Italian meatball with Bolognese sauce and macaroni and cheese. Absolutely TO DIE FOR! The combination was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. If you're a fan of Italian comfort food, this is definitely something you need to try. It's wonderful to see a local spot celebrating eight years, and the food gave me a great reason to celebrate right along with them. Whether you're craving a good burger or delicious, hearty meatballs, this place deserves a visit. Congratulations on eight years, and here's to many more!

Twisty fries were our side with a drink. 2 burgers, fries and a drink for under $40 was a good deal and the food was great definitely a spot I'd hit again when in Colorado visiting.

Seems like it is a place people have nostalgia for and so they think it is amazing... but the burgers are nothing special, and for what you get, they are overpriced for a fast food joint. They very very expensive if you add toppings. I cook my own burgers so I'm not even comparing this place to my burgers. This place would get 1 star I'm comparing to places you can get a burger for the same $... like Chilis. Burger is the same price (cheaper actually because better sides are included at Chilis) and the burger will be cooked the way you order it.

The choice this day was burgers!…read more It was about lunch time after a morning of moving. Went around noon ish was not busy for a Wednesday service fast and host super friendly kept checking on us. Got some burgers and it was good. Perfect size not too big to be overly food and not too small and filling. Came with fries which was also good. Im a fries girly and approve. My daughter got the adult mac n cheese she enjoyed it and i took a couple bites which i thought was good as well. My son got the bowl, tho he enjoyed the top half the bottom half he couldn't finish he said the rice was drenched in the teriyaki sauce. Burger for the win my son friends got burgers as well. Great ambiance. Nice inside plenty of seating in door and out. Very chill Definitely would go again and try something else. Would probably have a drink or 2 next time

Burgerchief serves up a super delicious burger!…read more At my old apartment complex their food truck stopped by one evening and everyone was able to order and try out their food. I got the Gunslinger burger and it was out of this planet! The juicy meat patty accompanied with their crunchy jalapenos and sweet BBQ sauce is a match made in heaven.

To say I'm hooked after just one visit may sound like and exaggeration... But hear me out - it's totally true! The EATS: After browsing the menu I opted to nosh on the Senior spicy - caramelized onion, jalapeno, pepper jack cheese, mayo, and sriracha. Mmm... So freaking good! I happily devoured it for dinner when I got home from the beer festival. Did I mention they serve u their patty's with a mountain of fries? Because they do and they are delicious as well! The SERVICE: The friendly staff were more than accommodating when I expressed my interest in a burger to take home and eat later. They went above and beyond to ensure that my burger was packaged up securely to make the trek home. The LOCATIONS: You can find Burgercheif curbside at a TON of sites around Denver and the surrounding areas. Just check 'em out on Facebook to get all the deets on their next curbside location! While I've only noshed on their goodness the one time, I have to say I'm hooked! So I'll be creeping around after their truck like Gollum stalks the Ring. My precious... My Burgerchief!

The place was packed and a space for motorcycles to hang out in a fun way and families to enjoy the live atmosphere! Seating was quick and the waitress was very attentive. So we ordered our meal... what was it might you ask? Nachos with chicken. And they had Pepsi! However the sad part happened. Our nachos came out cold . Chicken cold, cheese cold just cold. And I couldn't understand how fast they came out and cheese not melted - just a bummer. But guess what! Thank God I didn't settle because the Manager Meek came and rescued the evening- he fixed us new Nachos and they came out smoking hot - cheese deliciously melted, chicken hot and everything was good! Thank you to management for holding down the accountability and understanding how Nachos should be made. If you order nachos I recommend asking the manager to make them!

Haven't been here since the early 2000s when it was Caledonians. My work was hosting a going away…read moreparty for two of our staff members, so was looking forward to seeing what Bubba's was all about. Bubba's is expansive with tons of seating options-dining room, bar, or patio seating. Our party reserved the patio and it was a gorgeous day in Colorado, so that was a plus. We had a sampling of appetizers: chips and chorizo queso dip, chicken bites, fried pickles, crooked fried cheese, and for the main course, pizza. All were tasty and hit the spot. The servers were very nice and kept us well hydrated as they checked in our group frequently. It was really a nice event they put on for us.

They also have a thing called "rustic russets", which are little amazing potato pieces that are perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly soft in the middle. They are perfectly flavored as well. To top it off, the service was excellent and they had a huge array of beers on tap, including even one of my favorite German beers. The burger toppings also range from pretty basic to highly creative... There are even a couple with chopped green chilis on them. Bottom line = support this amazing local business, it is awesome and they deserve it.

WOW! We got a gift card from the manager due to our last experience and this time was amazing…read more Despite it looking super busy, we got sat right away and it was a weekend night, so we definitely got lucky. We told the waitress about our previous experience regarding my boyfriend's burger being super raw and she suggested that he get his burger cut in half, which worked! It was cooked well. I got the tuna melt and it was pretty standard, but delicious regardless. The star of the show, however, had to be the appetizers. We got the wings of two flavors that the waitress recommended. I don't remember the names, but one of them had a mustard taste to it and I really enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I are obsessed with the pretzels. They are soft, warm, and go perfect with the dip so well. Cherry Cricket this time was a great experience and we would come back for the pretzels alone.

This was the first time I had been out since my hospital stay and the first to this establishment…read morein about a decade my last time, there was hair in my girlfriend's burger. I was really craving a "patty" style burger instead of the oh so trendy (and delicious) smash burgers. The service was mediocre, waiter was solid. I was gravely disappointed by the food. I ask for my burger to be cooked medium, but it was not. Meat also lacked seasoning. I built my own burger, added cheddar cheese and green chile strips. The reasoning mainly being because Colorado is proud of their chile, it is chile season, pissing match with NM over chile, etc. The "green chile strips" was a canned (yes, canned) and the burger was over cooked. Maybe the next restaurant can soften the blow with a proper burger.

Had a pretty bizarre experience here. We came in at 7:45pm on a Saturday (3 of us) and were told we…read morecould sit but the kitchen had to shut down for 45 minutes. Ok no big deal I guess - it didn't look very busy, but these things happen. We were sat and our server took our drink order right away. The cocktails were very good - I tried the Living on a Pear which was very refreshing and the rest of our party had the 1858 which they liked a lot. Once we got our drinks no one came by for 30 minutes and I had to flag someone down to bring us some water. At 30 minutes we asked if chips and guac was an option while the kitchen was "temporarily not serving food" but the server said all the fryers were full with fries so no they can't do that. Ok... so we continued to wait. It was around the 45 minute mark we were able to order so they were true to their word. This is what we ordered: - Pork Belly Bacon Scoops - these were just ok. The fries were nothing to write home about and there wasn't a lot of toppings. The pork belly bits were very small and kind of hard and chewy. The sauce was decent, but just not enough of it. - Li'l Wig - I'm sad to say this was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. I requested medium rare and I don't know what the patty is made out of it, but it resembled more like meatloaf than a burger. It was very dense and had a strong gamey taste, reminded me more of bison or venison. Idk, it was just not very good. I only took a few bites and left the rest. The brioche bun was tasty and so was the W sauce. The fries were really good and had a nice crunch. I wish the appetizer used those fries instead. The service was inconsistent. We were barely checked on until the very end when we had a few different people come by and refill waters / bring the check. We never saw our original server again. It is a nice vibe inside, great lighting and decor with both indoor and outdoor seating, but I don't think I'll be returning. The bill was $133 for 3 drinks, 1 app, and 3 burgers. Felt pretty let down leaving still hungry and over $150 in the hole (after tip). Hoping it was just a fluke and other people have better experiences there.

We stopped in recently on a Sunday evening and we were glad we did. They have an interesting wine and cocktail list and we took advantage of the 4.00 beer with entree. Service was laid back,friendly, and fast. Exactly what you want with teenagers. Portions were appropriate and prices are about what you'd expect for the area. Ambiance was light and breezy, with chill music playing overhead that wasn't too loud. I'll come back here for a happy hour with friends or to celebrate an occasion without hesitation!
