    Great food. Huge portions on the "plates". My wife and I can split a carnitas plate and be full. Fast efficient service.

    Stopped here at opening to pick up an online order. The service was spectacular. We had a place to…read moresit while we waited, and were offered water. The staff checked in our meal as well. Everything was made fresh and packaged beautifully. The place was clean and welcoming. The food was incredible! Even though I got it to go, it was amazing at home! I didn't take pictures because I started eating right away. The Caesar wrap with extra dressing was phenomenal! The chicken is really top-tier. The salad was also amazing and I had it the next day! The salad portion is huge. You could probably get a salad and chicken strips (or a wrap) to share! Looking forward to coming back. It was so worth it!

You place your order at one of the kiosks, then just watch the pickup screen until your order is ready. The whole process is quick, simple, and efficient. I ordered the seasonal Thai Chicken Wrap with fries, and honestly, it's one of the best wraps I've had in a while. The crispy chicken tenders, Asian herb mix, crispy shallots, and green papaya dressing all had their own distinct flavors, but together they created a wrap that was incredibly balanced and satisfying. It felt like every ingredient was thoughtfully seasoned and intentionally paired. The biggest compliment I can give? I loved it so much that I went back a second time the same week. Definitely worth a visit.

This place turns fast food on its head by consistently delivering healthy, tasty, and creative meals. The birds get the rotisserie treatment over a special charcoal grill. They pop out moist, tender, and very flavorful. You can order a whole bird, half, a quarter or wings (plus a limited time tenders special as of July 2026)--alone or as a meal with sides, a salad, and sauces. The sauce options of gravy, chimichurri, piri piri, macha, and barbecue are unexpected. We tried gravy and chimichurri. Both were fresh and delicious. The extensive choice of sides includes mash or wedge potatoes, falafel, slaw, mac & cheese, mixed veg, marinated cucumbers, and street corn (rotating special). I was disappointed that the stuffing and squash dishes were not on the current menu. The cucumbers were delicious as was the creamy mac & cheese. The street corn was a nice surprise. The lemon tahina sauce on the mixed vegetables was good, but they were way undercooked for my taste. Other options are Pacific rolls, a variety of salads, sandwiches, and wraps, chicken noodle soup, cookies, and brownies. This is real quality, freshly-prepared, delicious, creative food. It's not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Chook is one of my favorites.

Although some tables were occupied, the restaurant was far from busy. After the receptionist sat us in/at one of the spacious booths, our waitstaff immediately came to us to greet us. Our super attentive waitstaff, Gladys helped us with our needs throughout our quick 1-hour dinner. Thanks, Gladys; your warm smile was sure evidence that we were valued as guests. What we got tonight were: -Spicy Mango Ceviche ($17) -Bean and Cheese Burrito ($9) -Crispy Sweet Potato Tacos ($16) -Brown Sugar Caramel Flan ($9) for to-go If I go ahead and rank them from the best to the least good (LOL) here it is: 1. Crispy Sweet Potato Tacos - Simply exquisite. Vegetarian (possibly vegan) dish which you don't have to compromise your satisfaction or craving. Not only what's inside the tortilla but the tortilla itself was also amazing. It's a corn kind. We have never tasted anything like this before. 2. Spicy Mango Ceviche - Good portion for the price. The spiciness is noticeable but anybody can handle this level of heat. A visible amount of shrimp was evident in it. The mango pieces were diced a bit smaller than what I would want to see and taste but all in all, this is a solid dish as well. 3. Brown Sugar Caramel Flan - I took a bite of it later when we were home. Candidly stating, it wasn't as great as I hoped would be as it somewhat lacked that typical flan flavors. It also wasn't dense enough. It was passable with adequacy and acceptableness is the best way to describe it. 4. Bean and Cheese Burrito - Was my least favorite dish for the night and yet, this too, wasn't a bad dish. If you are vegetarian, then this definitely is one of the safest bets you can choose from the menu. If I am to order this again, however,I will ask for a little modification: add cilantro rice to it. I am pretty sure this should easily be done at a place like Blanco; I have no doubt. The restaurant is spacious in both the main dining area and the bar. The bar was empty except for one solo guest that sat in the center of it. For some reason, this image created an incredible ambience where I was compelled to take a photo of it (I uploaded it so please make sure to view it.)

Service was great and attentive at the right time, suggesting dishes for our first time and knowledgeable about size was very helpful. We enjoyed our meal here for a middle of the week date night.

    Favorite!! I'd eat here every day and be perfectly happy about it…read more I always get the chicken sandwich. The seasoning on the chicken is so good, and you never get any chicken surprise, if you know what I mean. They trim it really well. Huge appreciation for that! If they sold the chicken by the cup I'd buy it and just snack on it! Pro tip for the chicken sandwich: add lettuce and feta, then get a side of the salad dressing and drizzle it over the top. So good. Legit one of those sandwiches you start thinking about later. The fries are extra good too. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and the seasoning on them is flavorful and salty in the best way. If they served Coke products, this place would be a 6 out of 5 :)

Order at the counter and have a sit while they prepare your food. The cashier was friendly. Food was ready in about 7 minutes I got the Beef Gyro Combo and the Spanakopita. Beef Gyro was excellent. Very tasty and filling. The fries were lightly salted, which was perfect. The veggies were fresh and crunchy. Spanakopita was not good. I did not finish it. It was nice and flaky, but the taste was off and the aftertaste was gross. Wouldn't recommend. Total was $23.49 after tip. Would definitely come back for just a gyro. The meal is just a little too much for me. Worth stopping by.

    Well, this is a mixed review as some of my visit was good, some not so good…read more I saw this on my Yelp app shortly after I arrived in Denver, and while lobster is my favorite food, I am always a bit dubious to eating lobster in a beef eeating place like Colorado! Still, it sounded great and I made my way there with a coworker on my last day in Denver. We walked in and there was no one there, but it was past lunch. It was bright and looked like other lobster roll restaurants I have been to in Boston. We looked at the menu and both ordered the same thing- a hot Connecticut Roll with a side cup of Clam Chowder. We sat down and waited as the 2 staff prepared our food, and while we the only ones in there, every table was dirty, so we hesitatingly sat down at the cleanest one and waited. A few minutes later, they brought our food out to us, but we had to ask her to clean the table, which she quickly got a bottle of spray and a towel and wiped our table down. I dove into the Clam Chowder and was immediately disappointed- it was barely even warm, thin, watery and without flavor. I tried to spice it up with salt, pepper and hot sauce to no avail. Now, the lobster roll was a different story- bun toasted perfectly, the lobster meat layered inside with hot butter, I took a bite and was in heaven. The roll was good, so that saved the day- I would not order the chowder again, though. I sent to the bathroom to wash my hands and was immediately hit with the stench of sewer, so that was a real turnoff. This could be a 5 star place if they fixed the simple things. I would only come back here to get a lobster roll to go.

    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 place has that classic sports bar energy you hope for... TVs everywhere, a lively crowd, and the kind of atmosphere where you can kick back and enjoy a solid burger. If you're a burger fan, be warned--the menu is loaded. It actually took a minute to land on a decision because there are so many creative options. I went with the Burger in a Bowl and added blue cheese. Now let's talk about that... They don't do the "light sprinkle" thing here. They pile it on, and as someone who appreciates bold flavor, I was all in. The burger itself was cooked well and had great flavor throughout. It comes with steak fries, and I specifically asked for them well done... unfortunately, they didn't quite hit that crispy finish I was hoping for. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting. Service was okay--nothing negative, just not overly engaging or memorable. Kind of a "take your order and keep it moving" vibe. That said, the overall experience was strong. Between the atmosphere, the variety on the menu, and a really solid burger, this is absolutely a place I'd come back to if I lived nearby. Pro Tip: If you're a blue cheese fan, don't hesitate--they go big with it here. Final Verdict: Great spot for burgers and a laid-back sports bar experience. A little more attention to fries and service would push this into 5-star territory.
