    The dish room popper.... There were 3 more
    Arcenia P.

    This for sure was more than I expected!! I ordered the ribeye with brussel sprout hash and sweet potato fries! And that ribeye was perfect!! So juicy!! But those dish room poppers! Are to DIE for!! And of course I can't not try a drink.... I would definitely recommend the Gold Rush drink! It literally tasted like home! This is a must next time!!

    The Dish Room is a hidden gem! We stopped in for lunch on a road trip to Denver. Service was very quick and pleasant, we were seated and received our food right away. The aesthetic is comfortable, but not fancy, with a friendly vibe. We ordered the spider pig sandwich with tater tots and the 1/2 smoked chicken with fries. Both meals were tasty but the spider big was the standout - tender meat and bursting with flavor. The smoked chicken was very tender and served with a tasty BBQ sauce. The tater tots were perfect - crispy on the outside, soft inside and seasoned really well. Highly recommend a visit if you are ever passing through eastern Colorado!

    A shining star in Burlington! Who woulda thought there would be quality dining in eastern Colo? Me and my colleague were prepared for dive-food, and pleasantly surprised when the hotel front desk led us to the "DR". Our server Kate had good energy and was knowledgeable of the menu. We started w the giant poppers. Very good, however I was expecting more of a punch of seasoning. Since we were trying to eat "healthy" we each opted for salads (Caesar for me, and Chicken & Egg for coworker). Obviously we had some finely crafted drinks from the bar. Again, the Dish Room is def an unexpected surprise of eastern Colorado! A return visit in the books when working in this area, if anything to say hello to Katie.

    We asked the desk clerk at our motel for a good restaurant. He said there was really only one good restaurant in town. I don't know about the other restaurants, but The Dish Room is excellent. Fast and friendly service. The Shrimp Scampi and Blackened Sea Bass were delicious and perfectly seasoned. Even the side salad was wonderful. The restaurant was a little dark, but very pleasant. The prices were a little expensive, but very reasonable.

    This was very sweet, like eating molases , the potatoes and the broccoli was good, but the ribs was super sweet it was very bad

    We were traveling and wanted to eat, so we look at this place, it took 25 min just to get a table, them once we were inside it took another 10 min to get our drinks orders, them it took about 30 min to get our food, the waiters was pretty nice, but the service was slow, them the the molases rips, it was a very disappointing!! They took the rips from the bill, but i was not going to wait another 30 min for something else!!!

    This is an amazing restaurant. Beautiful building with outdoor seating. Drinks are great and they have several different options. The food was wonderful too. We were able to enjoy steak and potatoes, their meal special for the evening. The service was excellent. Highly recommend!

    While on a long road trip, we stopped for a bite to eat. We were quite surprised at the great menu. It was hard to decide. My companion got the clam appetizer. It came with bread and was plenty for a meal. I got the southern salad. The plablano dressing was great and was not spicy. The smoked chicken was very tender. We might stop back on our way home.

    I had The Dish Room bookmarked forever, but driving to/from Denver, we never had the time to stop for a meal here. For our fourth of July journey to Colorado, Eric R. agreed to build in time so we could have lunch here en route. We left our house before 8 AM (Central) and arrived at The Dish Room for lunch before 12 PM (Mountain). The hosts and server were so nice as we were excited to try this farm to table/gourmet spot in small-town Burlington. Eric R. ordered the chicken curry, and I got the grilled octopus appetizer and a side sweet corn tamale (not made with lard, yay)! He loved his curry, and I was pleasantly surprised the octopus was served with romesco and chimichurri (bonus sauce not mentioned on the menu). It was deliciously charred and very tasty. The tamale was fluffy and sweet as described. It was a fun atmosphere and a rather large restaurant, busy at lunch which was a good sign for a week day. The menu had a wide variety of cuisines represented, and it would be really fun to eat here again and try other items!

    A small steak salad, excellent.

    Travelers note: a foodie oasis on the I-70! We were bedraggled from a twelve hour drive. The restaurant was going to close in 15 minutes. The waitress said, "No worry! Come on in!" Stylish restaurant with creative menu choices. Ultra-friendly staff who are willing to accommodate customer's specific requests. (I felt for a steak salad, it wasn't on menu but they whipped it up.) DO eat here!

    The Dish Room is definitely the place to go if... ++ You're seeking a destination on the eastern plains! ++ You're craving a large meal that's easy on the wallet! ++ Flavor is king! ++ You enjoy a local type vibe! The past few months, my husband and I have been taking full advantage of his pilot's license and taking the "foodie tour" of small town Colorado. So we recently decided to head over to Burlington and pop by The Dish Room after a fellow aviator had nothing but a rave review. They serve up a variety of things here, but the sandwiches definitely stole the show for us. After browsing the menu I opted for the spider pig: pulled pork, ham, bacon, cheese, garlic mayo, and chipotle bbq. Yum! The sandwich was super flavorful and not overwhelming like I thought it may be with the garlic mayo and chipotle bbq. However, the fries were missing a little something, maybe some salt, maybe a little overcooked. They weren't awful, but they didn't do much justice to the meal. There are a variety of sides to choose from, so next time I'll play it safe and pick something different. The main drawback was a very disorganized check in process. You could tell the hostess was caught of guard when the lunch rush arrived. She tried to start using a tablet to check people in, and it felt very awkward, like they don't use it very often. We had about a ten-minute wait before we were seated, which was no big deal. Overall, The Dish Room was def a solid quick destination for lunch on our small town Colorado tour. I'd easily stop back in.
