Hopdoddy Burger Bar is a national burger chain. They have locations all around the country with most of them residing in Texas. This is their second location in Denver, sitting right off the busy intersection/shopping district of 9th and Colorado Blvd.
The wife and I popped in here after an appointment not really knowing what we wanted to eat. This location is well kept and maintained, fairly clean, and lots of seating, including outdoor seating. You order at the counter, are told where to sit (which I thought was odd), and your food is brought out to you.
Doddy Melt // two smashed patties, Swiss and American cheeses, caramelized onions, mayo & Comeback sauce on grilled rye bread. I'd say this was good, not great. The incorporation of American cheese was hitting real good, making for ooey gooeyness, but everything else felt a little underseasonsed to bring it all together. I also thought the rye bread (classic for a patty melt which I appreciate) was too overpowering for the burger patties.
French fries are hand cut in the restaurant every day. They are served in a gigantic bowl and even for two people you might not be able to split them all. They were indeed crispy, but left a bit to the imagination. The chipotle ketchup had an interesting smokey flavor. The honey mustard sauce slaps, definitely get a few sides of that!
I will say, they do try to keep it more local here with Red Rocks murals and local beers on tap. The beers come in a big 20 oz. mug that threw me off guard as it hit the table. Like woahhhh, it's a Monday!
Not running back, but maybe they're known for some other burgers and combinations I haven't tried yet!
