Cheesesteak
Matty F.

This is one of my favorite spots in Denver/Erie, CO. I come here every time I'm in town. The staff is always kind and helpful and the atmosphere calm and friendly. The cheesesteak is one of my all time favorites [add banana peppers] and the burger is always juicy and crispy at the same time. I love Rusty Melon and wish there was one in Atlanta.

Chicken Burger
Becky J.

Loved the grilled chicken burger. It was fresh, hot and delicious! The atmosphere is spot on for fun sports bar! The waitstaff were attentive and made sure we had what we needed. It was our second time here and everything was just as good at this fun lil bar and grill in Erie!

Smothered Smoked Pork Chimichanga.

Smothered Smoked Pork Chimichanga. Very good. I will get ground beef next time. Sitting outside was pretty cool. Good service.

Meh, kind of a trashy, dive bar feel to it. Was looking for a burger in Erie, and while it was edible, it wasn't great. Wouldn't come back.

Just wanted to share another great experience at Birdhouse, still one of our faves! My daughter and…read moreher fiancé wanted comfort food last night, so we went to Birdhouse and, like always, left totally satisfied. We got the Birdhouse Flight to start--guac, five-cheese queso, and their birdhouse salsa (a tasty, mild tomatillo). Seriously, it's the best way to start your meal. For dinner, we all had ramen. I went for the Hellfire with extra bok choy. This ramen is no joke. If you want something spicy, this is it. The chili sauce, flakes, and oil really bring the heat. The kids got the Tonkotsu, which was amazing as usual--great broth and super tender meat. I had my spicy ramen with a Juicy Bits from WeldWerks, perfect combo. Seriously, it's some of the best ramen and service around North Denver. Whether it's for a special day or just a chilly night. Birdhouse is always good. I totally recommend it!

As a big ramen fan, Birdhouse was a pleasant surprise for me. I've had ramen at practically all the…read morewell known spot in Denver, from Katsu Ramen to Ramen Star (RIP) to Tokio. So it was shocking that I found such a good bowl out here in Erie. I got the Hellfire Ramen, a tonkotsu-based ramen served with their house spicy sauce, chili oil, pork shoulder, and a soft boiled egg. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spice level was perfect (quiet hot but still maintaining a good balance of flavors), and the pork shoulder was tender but still has a bit of nice toothsomeness. Overall, this was an excellent bowl of ramen comparable to any of the top spots in Denver. The only slight downside is that the broth was just a tough too salty for my liking, and I would've preferred a soy marinated egg over a soft boiled egg. They have other ramen here was well, such as a chicken-based shio ramen, a regular tonkotsu, and a Thai curry ramen. I definitely would return to try the other ramen. If the other items on this menu is as tasty, I wouldn't hesitate to give them 5 stars.

A wonderful restaurant located in Broomfield Colorado, five stars all day long. Wonderful food…read morealong with a nice bar and now happy hour. The service was impeccable as is the ambience. The food came as ordered, our server (Lauren) was very attentive to our table. It's nice to see the general manager come by and see how our food was and that always add a a bonus to me. Should you decide to visit? I would recommend a reservation on Friday and Saturday nights as it does get very busy. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed on Sunday ... it's open all the other days for a very delightful experience. Bon appétit.

Our waitress was amazing - friendly, made great recommendations, and talked us through the menu, answer all of our questions thoroughly. We ordered the streak tartare app, clearly a staff favorite and they put a unique twist on the standard dish with mushrooms and a divine Dijon mustard sauce. The bread was baked to perfection - crunchy but soft all at the same time. My friend got the salmon, cooked to medium and I got the Jamaican jerk chicken which was not very spicy and contained a lot of flavor. The mango chutney and green mojo combo was complex and paired well with the chicken. My friend devoured she salmon so one can only assume it was delicious! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a date night or dinner with a friend and you're in the Broomfield area, Hickory and Ash is the spot!
