Choice City

A unique hidden gem in Old Town, Fort Collins! The updates to the space. The updates to the menu and the bar are wonderful. The food here and the service here is amazing and absolutely recommend if you haven't been the choice City in a while or you haven't ever tried choice City for lunch or dinner. In a town with a lot of mediocre food this is a great option to find wonderful food. Great drinks and great service! Nothing about our experience here was mediocre rather it was exceptional. P.S. if you're a potato wedge or a french fry fan you got to stop by here. They're potato wedges are absolutely amazing!

Exceptional food, exceptional service, exceptional atmosphere. Thank you guys so much for making my birthday EXTRA special! Everyone at the table was blown away by the hospitality and the food. The lemon herb chicken with broccolini was exquisite. We got to try some mocktails and they were all SO tasty. Our favorite part was the dessert - the maple pumpkin spice cake…OMG!!! So delicious. Thank you guys so much!!! I can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely phenomenal. Lavi and her team will make your experience one you will never forget. From the delicious hand-crafted cocktails/mocktails to the best burgers (including the amazing “best damn VEG” burger!!) in town, you will leave Choice City already thinking about when you can go back! Avery was our server and truly, no notes. This girl rocked it, and we had exceptional service!

EXCEPTIONAL in every way – drinks, desserts, food, atmosphere, and service. Choice City has truly outdone itself with their re-grand opening under the new owners. The space feels clean, fresh, vibrant, and welcoming. Very modern, with the right touch of elegance. I came for brunch and absolutely loved it so much that I had to come back for dinner as well! I got their very cute birdie cocktail. Really fun ("Mimosa Flight"). The food is beautifully plated, AND FULL OF FLAVOR. Some of the food I ordered, "Duck Wings", "Coconut Lemon Angel Cake", "Rose Cardamom Cake", and the "Harvest Reverie". Service was exceptionally attentive. Definitely will be coming here a few times a week!!

10/10 food. 10/10 atmosphere. 10/10 service. I had the Truffle Grove Burger, Tamarind Carrots on the side, and Maple Spice Cake for dessert. The cocktail is Orchard Affair. A fall cocktail - incredibly delicious. Everything was perfect, including the service. Warm, welcoming, comforting atmosphere.

This is a must visit when coming to Fort Collins! The inside of the restaurant is super nice, and they have a cute little patio area too. It is order at the front, then they bring everything to you. The staff were so kind and on top of it! The food was outstanding. We compared the buffalo Reuben and the regular corned beef Reuben. We enjoyed the regular corned beef Reuben better; it is fattier and had a more juicy flavor. If you prefer a meat that is leaner, go with the buffalo. Their potato wedges are one of a kind! Most restaurants don’t have perfectly thick, crispy, and fluffy wedges like here. The potato wedges are gluten free since no flour is used in them, but they do share a fryer for those who are celiac. The gluten free bread was delicious, and I appreciate them not skimping on the meat like restaurants usually do with gf bread. The price was way cheaper than expected given the quality of the restaurant and compared to other sandwich shops. We will definitely be back, and I will be thinking about our meals for a while!

The recent renovation has completely elevated this restaurant! The new owners have done a fantastic job refreshing the space—it’s warm, welcoming, and beautifully updated without losing its original charm. Even better, the food and service are just as good, if not better, than before. Every dish we had was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, Mike was great! It’s wonderful to see a local favorite not only preserved but taken to the next level. Highly recommend checking it out!

Choice city was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is upscale and makes you feel like you’re in a fancy city. First off, the popcorn! Oh my goodness. It’s sweet, salty, with a tangy kick! I could eat an entire bucket! Then we ordered Collins curds as an appetizer and let me tell you, YOU NEED TO ORDER THESE! Your taste buds will explode with flavor. We had amazing drinks and an amazing burger and will definitely be back and spread the word ❤️

Fabulous experience at Choice City! Ambiance was warm and intimate, we were welcomed inside with care by our server Lovey who paid attention to detail and had knowledge of the menu. The food was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

Wonderful dinner at Choice City. While the food was top notch the service, care and attention of the staff elevated the experience to another level. The burgers and the steak were cooked perfectly. The cheese curd appetizer was amazing. Topping it off we had the brownie for dessert which was light yet so flavorful. One of the more hidden gems in Fort Collins!

Choice City has changed... and NOT for the better, IMO. I have traveled to Fort Collins at least once a year since 2012 for work. On the first trip I discovered Choice City Butcher and the best damn hamburgers I have ever had, anywhere, bar none. I returned for a burger pilgrimage at least once on every trip since. The vibe was casual (order at the counter/bar) and the beer selection was outstanding. This last year I went back for my yearly trip and was excited to introduce one of my colleagues to this place. As soon as I walked in, it all seemed different. The beer taps were gone, a waiter (!!) greeted us and seated us in a foofy feeling booth. I inquired about the changes and found that the ownership had changed recently. The menu was much more upscale feeling (though prices were relatively reasonable) and lacked the signature burgers I was looking forward to. Our order started with the brussels sprouts appetizer. Solid app. Very tasty and nicely roasted with a yummy aioli. My old fashioned was fine, but nothing special (I make a better one at home with $20 bottle bourbon). My main was their Horsetooth Burger (Chili Relleno burger) which was pretty disappointing. The patty itself looked and felt like it was frozen, not hand formed like the old ones. The Poblano was nearly tasteless and way too big for the bun. Overall the burger was very average and not very flavorful. In the long run, I was pretty disappointed in the food. Service, was great. Very attentive and friendly. Despite that, this will probably be my last visit to Choice City. I will mourn the loss of those amazing burgers for the rest of my life...

Everything was so delicious, from the burgers we ate to the crème brûlée. The truffle grove burger was cooked to perfection and one of the best burgers I've eaten in Ft Collins. Service was amazing too. Highly recommend dining here!

We did an online order that said it would be ready AT 1pm. We got a text at 12:45pm stating the order was ready for pickup. Around 1:05 (parking wasn't easy) we picked up the order. The drive back was about 10 minutes. My OG breakfast burger was cold by the time we ate- which tells me it had been cooked and ready for pickup LONG before 1pm and definitely way before 12:45pm. Disappointing to bite into a cold burger. Also there was too much of the truffle aioli since it was oozing out of the burger. Something in it was quite salty too- bacon and maybe the truffle aioli... my side was the Rosemary chips- way too much rosemary and salt. I could only eat a small handful then had to stop bc it was so overpowering with rosemary and salt. Had it not been for the cold burger and too much truffle aioli and saltiness I think it would have been a tasty burger....but for $19 I expect the burger at bare minimum to be warm and for me not to be guzzling water during and after eating it.

The food looked really good and reading about it felt like it would be even better. I made an order online and said it would be ready after 30 min so I figured I had time to run and errand then go to pick it up. I got a text after 15 min saying it was ready and I was already on the way to my errand and figured it was 6 of 1 or 1/2 dozen so I continued to my errand and then went to go pick it up. Just felt like it missed the mark sitting there for 15-20 min before I got there and then I had to drive back to where I was eating it. I got the Cuban and it was good, the potato wedges were cold by that point.

Best Burger/Sandwiches in Fort Collins. Great vibes, good friendly service, creative drinks.

I can't give the new Choice City enough of a shout out to explain how amazing it is. The new owner served us and described the Indian fusion steak house menu. We had a great variety of items and all were delicious. Can't wait to return.

Stopped by Choice City while staying at The Armstrong Hotel and tried the Cold Italian and their wedges...both were absolutely delicious! The wedge seasoning was addictive and kept me coming back for more. My bag was missing condiments, but the flavors were so good it didn't even matter. Highly recommend!

We had others recommend we try this place. We were in the area and decided to pop in for an early dinner. We were in before their snazzy dinner service and chose from their all day menu. Ordering takes place at the counter. The person helping us was pleasant. We ordered our food and beverages then picked out a spot to sit. We were both in the mood for hot sandwiches. My husband got the BLT. He was intrigued because it mentioned horseradish sauce in the description. I saw they had a hot Italian sandwich and was sold. They weren't very busy at the time of day we were in so it did not take long. The BLT was a tasty choice according to my hubby. I had a bite of the bacon and it was wonderful. When is bacon not wonderful?? My hot Italian was full of flavors. It had all the usual subjects: capicola, ham, salami, and provolone. Then a burst of fresh with lettuce, tomato, onion and banana peppers. It hit the spot. For beverages I had ordered their nitro selection however the person helping us was not aware that keg had kicked. I made another selection Fremont Lush IPA. This went well with my sandwich. My husband was excited because they had Chimay on tap. He loves Belgian beers. It may be that this beer had not been ordered in some time or some other circumstance but it had a stale flavor as if it had been sitting in the line for a while. He could not finish it and opted for water instead. Overall the experience was good. Hope to return.

This place renovated recently and did a great job. The inside is beautiful and the food is very good. Also great service and beer list. Definitely check it out!

Wow! Fantastic Ruben! Fresh chips and potato wedges were amazing. Thanks to Mike for his skills and service.

Really great renovation. Food, service, atmosphere are among the top experiences in Old Town. We made reservations, turned out we could have walked in. It's nice to be able to drop in.

Wow. Everything was a 10/10. Food, service, ambience. We had a group of 12 during CSU graduation and Choice City far exceeded our expectations. We had everything from appetizers, salads, and mains. Plus after dinner drinks and dessert. The Pork Shank was outstanding as was the filet. For drinks we had several of their craft drinks, wine, mixed drinks, and ice tea. The Mule was a favorite! For a special occasion dinner the price point was excellent. The service was maybe the best I've ever encountered. We were waited on by the owner and she was the most kind and gracious host. We sat on the patio and it was a beautiful evening. Or age group ranged from college age to 80 years young. A meal to remember.

Great ambiance and friendly helpful staff. I was just there for drinks and apps but will be coming back for lunch and dinner. The chili-glazed cheese curds and mocktails were inventive and delicious.

Really enjoyed the veggie sandwich I had here. The ingredients were fresh and I appreciated how toasted the bread was. The addition of a red pepper pesto was recommended to me and I'm glad I agreed as it rounded out the sandwich nicely. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick and satisfying lunch.

Well, this place is super lame now. Not only did they remodel it for the boujee Sunday brunch crowd, but they totally ruined their menu and no longer have ANY beers on draft. Instead they now have a gaudy cocktail bar. I ordered the Cubano thinking they wouldn't have changed a classic sandwich like that, right?? I was wrong. When the server put it down in front of me I thought they had served me a burger by mistake but no, this was their NEW Cubano and it was terrible. Not only was the mustard way too hot for human consumption but the pork was cubed instead of pulled and it was served on a damn ciabatta bread. It's really sad to see this place go this way. I'm glad I got to experience it prior to the remodel because I will not be back.

Choice City Cafe is a new reincarnation of Choice City Butcher. The Boss Lady, Lavee (sp?), has remodeled, created a new menu, and hired a wonderful staff! She is a rock star! It's a beautiful, casual room. We have only tried the lunch menu. The salads and sandwiches were very good. The drink menu was interesting, lots of alcohol and non-alcoholic creations. Our server, Hazie, was friendly and efficient. There is a separate dinner menu. We will be back! Check it out!

Used to be my favorite spot in town for a great Sandwich. The Rueben was delicious, piled high with perfect proportions of ingredients. Then everything changed with the recent remodel. It went from a cozy spot that was somewhat pricey but well worth it, to a sterile, characterless place that was even more pricey but worse quality. They cut the menu in half, cut the portion size in half, meanwhile increased the prices by at least a dollar for everything on the menu. A Diet Coke was 4 dollars, from a soda fountain. Service was alright but the trend of ordering at a counter and being asked for a 15% tip is getting ridiculous. Owners need to stop with this and pay their workers, not shift the responsibility to the patrons in the form of a tip. It's disappointing as this was my go to spot for a good sandwich and beer, now I do not think I will return.

Choice City is amazing! I can't recommend it enough. We were just walking around when we found it and had to go in. The whole feel of th place is so warm and inviting. We got cocktails and the bartender Lavi was incredible! She made each of us a cocktail based on us and they were perfect. The food was incredible. We will be regulars from now on. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. If you haven't been here check it out!

I thought I would try out choice city. I have been hearing good things. At first glance the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We were immediately greeted and taken to our seats. The menu was full of variety for a small menu. We had the short rib croquettes and cheese curds for appetizers. DELICIOUS!!!! For dinner some our party had the mushroom burgers they ranted and raved about how delicious they were. So delicious they would not share. I had the New York strip and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection it was juicy and delicious. I would recommend everyone in Ft Collins checks it out. Great service from super friendly staff. Perfectly prepared food.

Choice City is back!! And we will be going back! We went on a Saturday evening and we were pleasantly surprised with the new renovation and new menu! We both had the beef filet and sides! I can honestly say it rivaled the old Choice City Butcher! The filet was done to our liking and was very tender! We both had the wine demi-glaze sauce with it-excellent! Nice ambiance and music with great service! Keep up the great work! We will be back.

Came here for lunch while visiting Fort Collins and my friends and I all got sandwiches and they were so good! I opted for the Cubano and it was delicious. Really filling sandwich and a great mixture of ingredients. My friend had the Philly dip and it was also very good. We opted for some beer on tap and wine and it made for a great afternoon. Workers were really friendly, and the place had a nice vibe to it. Would be back if in the area.

A wonderful addition to the downtown Fort Collins experience. The food is fantastic! The only thing better than lunch was when we returned for dinner. The waitstaff is friendly and very knowledgable. The wine, spirits, beer, and non-alcoholic selections are well chosen, not overwhelming. They have done a wonderful job redecorating from the previous tenant. We will be back!

We've been long time patrons of Choice City and couldn't be more impressed with the remodel and new menu. THEY DID NOT MISS!! A must try, in Fort Collins. We had the filet and caprese burger on the dinner menu. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the homemade sauce added the perfect zhuzh! A locally owned gem. Go Rams!

Great service and food. The food has great flavor. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is a little hard to figure out but just have patience.

Love Choice City! The food, service and atmosphere is awesome a great place for patio seating and dinner dining. Even the kids loved it!

Such a great experience at Choice City! Great atmosphere and delicious cocktails. They are also vegetarian friendly. We wanted the prosciutto burrata and they suggested a prosciutto alternative of arugula which was delicious. The owner, I think, or GM, Lovie or Lovey (or I am completely mis-spelling!!) was incredibly nice and came up and chatted to us for awhile, as were the servers. I can't remember the young gentleman working there this evening, but he chatted with us and gave us great recs for cocktail bars. :) Definitely go for a nice date night or fun night for some great cocktails with friends!!

We have been waiting for the new version of Choice City to open and we dined there Friday, May 30th. What a difference from the old Choice City Butchers! Interior is completely redone and done well. The menu still has "your Burgers" but also features some very enticing main entrees. The bar and wine menu has some very interesting drink suggestions and the owner is ready to make any cocktail of your choice...hint "Lemon Drop Martini." The wine list is not that big but there are also wines available that are not on the menu. Ask the server or owner for a suggestion for a wine pairing. We had the Cab Franc, listed on the menu, and it was marvelous. Now, to the food..we shared the Proscuito Barrata appetizer - delicious (three pieces) and we both had the Pork Shank entree with mashed potatoes and either the Tamarind Carrots or the Broccolini. Both sides were excellent but the Pork Shank was incredible! They offer a couple of different steak choices and a vegetarian option, as well. This is a hidden gem! We met the new owner and she is dedicated to making this your go-to restaurant. As before, they are open for lunch with burgers and sandwiches and a large beer menu. Go there - EAT!

I have eaten here twice and both times the main part of my meal was spectacular, a Reuben the first time and the Black and Blue burger the second. Service was good also. This is not getting five stars because both times I've ordered the potato salad as my side and both times it's been weird. I didn't hate it but I didn't like it. Not sure what's going on with the potato salad there, but I wish it was better.

We came to Fort Collins with 12 family members to celebrate my cousin's graduation, without a reservation and expecting to be turned away. Instead, the owner personally welcomed us, found us a table, and waited on us herself. She brought out several incredible dishes for free and treated us like family. Her generosity and the amazing food made it an unforgettable night we'll always remember.

Best sandwiches and beer selection around! I've been here several times for lunch and every time they impress. They truly care about quality meats, service, and beer. The burgers are some of the best anywhere and the sandwiches are always amazing. I'm a huge beer guy and the line of taps they get here is seriously impressive. The rare beer options leave you with a great beer to pair with whatever you are having. My favorite sandwich is the Philly and I dream about this sandwich for a few days after I get it each time. The wait can sometimes be a little long if you are here when it is busy, but you won't be disappointed. Just get a beer to drink while you wait! I was recently here for one of their famous Beer Dinners and that was so fun! I didn't love all the food courses, but it was still so fun to try different beers and have interesting food prepared by some of the talented people we have in the area. I will be planning to attend another one soon and so should you!

My partner and I stopped by recently and discovered Choice City has reopened and is under new ownership! It definitely has a different vibe, but never fear! The food is as delicious as ever, the space is beautifully decorated, and the new owner and her employees go above and beyond to provide amazing and genuine service. Try it out and see for yourself!

Wonderful! Delicious sandwiches, burgers, and sides. The cake was delicious. Huge improvement over previous decor-very comfortable decor inside and nice outdoor seating as well.

Unfortunately the food is so incredibly good I won't want to eat anywhere else! My husband's words"The new owner hit a home run, this food is insane" - amazing staff, beautifully remodeled, and the owner is so welcoming. And to anyone criticizing because it is not the same Choice City - they are correct, it is 200x better. Cant wait to come back.

The remodel is amazing! So classy! Food is so fresh and delicious! Service is amazing! Their popcorn is the bomb!

What happened!! The Philly cheese steak sandwich is gone? No more aju? No more gluten free sandwich rolls? The ambience is ruined. There is brass vases and velvet chairs? The restaurant went from having a wonderful environment, amazing music, and character. Come enjoy if you went crappy music, OVERLY boujee atmosphere, and a small expensive meal. Not to mention for steak it is an extra 3 dollars now! This was my family's favorite place in Fort Collins. Super disappointed!! Old choice city come back!

Service was great. Food portions very appropriate. Great atmosphere. Prices very reasonable. Give it a try if you have not

Outstanding service. Brilliantly creative and delightfully elevated menu brings the concept of lunch to new heights. Bravo!

I loved my Rueben but the others got a burger that was to be medium but it was raw, we had to send it back. After that the burger was good.

Hands down the best burger in Fort Collins! The new owner did an outstanding job!!! Highly recommend!

We came into Choice City the day they reopened. The sandwiches are even better than they used to be if you could believe that! We came back again last night for a friend's birthday dinner. Again the food was great. I highly recommend the pork shank and the prosciutto appetizer. Great service and ambience as well. Highly recommend!

Best deli in town. Really gives that bigger city vibe... but has small town employees and feels friendly. Lots of beer. And whiskeys. Both Reubens - Turkey and Regular. Gluten free bread available and it's pretty good!! Their burgers I would highly recommend. They know breads. They know pickles. Choice City knows good food and knows our town.

Dynamite sandwich. Quickly made and the beer was cold. Who could ask for anything more on a 90 degree day?

Wednesday night is date night for us and we go to Choice City for their BOGO burgers. For those who imbibe, the appear to have a great beer selection but I love their house made root beer.

Stellar burger. Good service! Keep the buy one get one!! I would steer clear of the potato salad

Food was good, however, if you like the idea of a pool of servers fighting for your table and giving you very little time to have a conversation of any depth due to the constant interruptions, then this may be a place for you. We literally didn't get a chance to talk until 20 minutes after we got seated. When we asked why this happened (2 servers competing for giving us water, taking a drink order, main meal order and at least 3 or 4 more times asking how we're doing (each) - we were told that is because they have a pool of servers. So it can happen again... no thank you! And their wine prices per glass are very expensive. Not going to do this to ourselves again! We were interrupted one more time at the end with a male server who may have a management position taking up more of our time trying to explain about the "pool" system and on and on and then shared that they were most likely going to meet and talk about this. I only wish I could go to their meeting and interrupt them every min for about 20 minutes!

Great turkey Rueben sandwich. Fairly priced. Nice vibe. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

best service i've received in fort collins!! so accommodating to our big group and made us feel like family. will be coming back
