17 Homegrown Burgers to Try in Denver

"The burgers at this new Avanti stall may start with grass-fed beef from Colorado, but they end up spanning the globe with toppings like queso and chorizo, hoisin ketchup and kimchi–bok choy slaw, or smoked provolone and truffle oil (just to name a few). That said, the bacon- and egg-topped brunch version on an English muffin stays in everyone’s comfort zone." - Camila Navarrette, Josie Sexton, Paul Albani-Burgio, Ruth Tobias

The KA fried chicken sandwich was so good. Fries were awesome as well. Food was 5/5. Gave 3/5 due to the attitude I received when I asked for the coleslaw on the side. I like and appreciate the taste both foods separately. I don’t need to be asked, “Are you even going to eat it if we put it on the side?” The sandwich comes with the coleslaw. Just put it in the side like I asked. Don’t need the snarkiness. I loved both.

Loved the fries but the vegetarian burgers were greasy and heavy. Service wasn’t great either. ✅ Loaded Crispy Ka Fries ▪️Veggie Knockabout Burger ▪️Goat Cheese & Caramelized Onion

Short n sweet: THE BEST SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH IN TOWN, HANDS DOWN! And...in my book, THE BEST BURGER I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!! BOLD statement, I know, but try their GOAT CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO burger, and see for yourself... I will be back next Sunday to try more of their stuff, and looking forward to it...I will keep you posted about their other yummy stuff. Check out the pics of these 2 stunning sandwiches! UPDATE....went back, met with their young talented chef; and tried 3 other dishes; each more amazing than the next! If you go to this place, you cannot miss! I am now hooked for life...

The special here really jumped out at me, so I had to give it a try. It was a Curry Tempura Fried Chicken Sandwich. Overall, I'd say it was good, but I think I was hoping for more curry and it was mostly sweet chili sauce. The piece of chicken I got also was a bit grisly, but that happens sometimes. There were a lot of other things on the menu that I wanted to try, so I'd love to go back.

I had the Smiley meal, & it definitely made me do so!!! It was very delicious, great tasting beef it pairs well with everything else on the Burger.My only complaint is that It was a tad too salty, maybe it was the fry sauce or Mayo so next time I’ll order without the Mayo but nevertheless a really good burger. I accidentally substituted for their garlic Parmesan fries but it was a happy 😊 accident, as they weren’t too garlicky nor too salty either, really good fries 🍟! .All in all, A great experience in a bustling collective restaurant setting with a lively atmosphere. I will definitely be back! I absolutely 100% recommend 👍👍

The issue that lead to a poor review is horrendous customer service. After ordering a burger without cheese, and explaining this after the burger was presented with cheese, both the cook and women working the cash register told me "that's your fault. We won't make it again. You have to order and pay for another burger." I explained that we have a food allergy, this isn't a simple preference. They reiterated that I had made the mistake. There were a million nicer and more customer oriented ways that the staff could have handled the situation. But it culminated with them saying "we will reimburse you but we won't make you another burger." How easily it would have been to say: "so sorry for the misunderstanding. We are happy to give you your money back and if you order another burger make sure to put into the notes not to include cheese."

I have been to Knockabout many times and the food is always delicious! Their burgers are where it’s at, but they also offer chicken and vegetarian options. Their space at Avanti is great as you can enjoy seating inside or outside on the patio overlooking the city. Definitely don’t miss their garlic Parm fries. Service is always on point too.

We visited during the week. KA fried chicken sandwich, two kids chicken tenders, all with fries. Everything was very fresh tasting. We split the sandwich and yes, it was enough to fill us both up! They were sold-out of milkshakes.

Environment!! This whole place is fantastic. Knockabout is one of a few restaurants in a commons area, in a fun and interesting part of Denver. Great views and atmosphere. Good beer selection. And the burgers at Knockabout were outstanding - perfectly cooked, piled high with fixins, and so flavorful.

Well we'll. In my last post I ranted about the terrible food. Management reached out to me via email and blamed Uber Eats for Knockabout Burgers sending out DRY, burgers with no cheese and 3ish French fry's! Who that? Knockabout Burgers does..Cringe

Knockabout burger is a vendor within the Avanti Denver food hall. Avanti is a very nice space but can get quite crowded during peak hours. I placed my order online and the food was ready very quickly. I got the goat cheese and prosciutto burger with parmesan garlic fries. Both the burger and fries were excellent! The burger's flavor profile was balanced perfectly. I do wish there were a couple more burger options, especially something with spice. However, I highly recommend this spot for a quality burger if you're in the LoHi area.

This place is inside the avanti on the second floor. The food takes a while to cook. This is also the kind of place that stabs your burger with a tooth pick and charges 20 dollars including the fries and shake... it's blasphemy in my opinion. The service is fair for what this place is. It's a food stall in a huge cafeteria you just get your own food and put your own dishes away. Also I'm not sure what the point of tipping at any of the food vendors in the avanti is when their custodial staff who are actually out and about cleaning are most likely not associated with each individual vendor. The service is not dissimilar from McDonald's/ Burger King. You order your food, you pay, you wait for your order to be called, you sit down and eat, you toss your trash and out the tray away, and then the custodian disinfects where you were just sitting. Now to the food. It's a standard burger with house sauce. The burger isn't too big and it's not too filling. The house sauce is also about the same as Freddy's fry sauce. The fries are also not much to write home about, crispy and salty, maybe a bit better than Burger King fries. The real champion of the meal was the butter butter milk shake, it's exactly what you expect it to taste like. It's a really good milk shake but not good enough to save the meal. After this I also went to the pizza place downstairs to eat a pizza to fill me up and I still was not full. For ambiance we gotta just review the avanti. We happened to go on trivia night and it was packed but no one was participating in it. It feels like a bad high school cafeteria, not enough seating, broken furniture, odd dining table choices, awkward seating positions when available, dimly lit, "open air" second floor space is cramped and crowded. Getting a beer though is not hard here. I understand that this place is a food eatery that is set around socialization while dining but it does a very poor job at it. Also parking in this area is terrible and Denver has awful public transit, getting here is painful and quite annoying.

Best comfort food ever. Tried for the first time tonight! Will be returning for sure. Highly recommended

I have been here a couple times now and both times my burgers were fantastic. I have gotten the breakfast burger, the bacon cheeseburger (make it a double), and the latest one the burger of the month. This one had cheese curds and a butter bacon marinara on it. OMG!! I highly recommend upgrading your fries to the garlic Parm for an extra 75 cents. And get the Knockabout sauce for dipping. They also have a rotating shake flavor. They do have other options besides burgers including chicken, and vegetarian options and gluten free buns! Definitely check them out in the upstairs area of Avanti.

Ordered Colorado hot chicken sandwich that came with a side of fries. The sandwich was great, although not super spicy. Fries were done perfectly!

I realized that I can't invite friends to Avanti F&B for "BRUNCH" anymore because there's not really any brunch-sounding food options. That is, except for the Brunch Burger at Knockabout Burgers! It's located right when you walk upstairs (across from the bar) and they have a decent menu selection, accommodating more dietary restrictions than most burger joints I've seen. The one time I ate here, I got some standard cheeseburger with hatch chiles, but the whole thing tasted like grease. I was confused by the lack of flavor. The garlic parmesan fries were good, though. I'd be willing to try this place one more time. How could I not when they use ingredients like fried prosciutto, black truffle oil, and kimchi slaw? Plus there's shakes that involve peanut butter! While I didn't enjoy my burger (and they actually take a LONG time to prepare) they've been accommodating to people who have special requests, which I appreciate. Not much else to review since the seating and drink situation is on the Avanti side. All that is fantastic. Definitely after some happy hour or evening beers, I could see myself craving a burger, so we'll see how that shakes out next time!

The burger had too much going on. Too much lettuce. The aioli didn't go with the goat cheese. The bun was a little too big and a little burnt masking the flavor. The fries were too salty and too crispy. Yes apparently too crispy can happen.

Only giving 2 stars because of the location. Avanti is great with a good atmosphere and drinks. But knockabout serves chicken tenders on bread with an overwhelming amount of sauce that almost renders the sandwich inedible. The service was also disappointing as the checkout bro was not welcoming or polite at all.

This was our first time to eat from Knockabout Burgers. We are always looking for custom burgers and we found this close to us. We ordered online and something about the chicken burger sandwich called to me. I was not wrong! This is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, it was HUGE! The chicken was not ground or pressed into a patty, just natural shape. The breading was thick and ultra crunchy crispy, and very tasty. The chicken was juicy and tenger. It was dressed in a slightly sweet cole slaw that fit the flavors perfectly, and pickles added a contrasting tartness. The fries were tender on the inside, and crispy and expertly seasoned. We have found our new burger home. Don't miss this restaurant. Even if it's a drive, it's worth it.

Burgers are absolutely delicious! Do yourself a favor and get the Brunch BEEF Burger - you won't regret it. The burger itself comes with a juicy 1/3 lb beef patty, crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked sunny side egg, crisp lettuce, a juicy tomato, and some dank sauce on a buttery brioche bun. I would say the only downside is the service. When it gets busy, it can take awhile to get your food. Besides that, everything is top notch. Overall a great experience and I'll have to go back again sometime so that I can try some of the other burgers!

I would've done ridiculous things for a milkshake. It's pretty late. The man at the register could tell how bad I wanted one, and so he made one for me! 5/5 stars for him helping.

In town on vacation from Northern California. All of Avanti F&B is a cool, creative, and communal dining experience. Knockabout Burgers us CRAZY GOOD and even had me coming back three times and a one week vacation. The prosciutto burger with a gluten-free bun it's so good. If you have to eat gluten free this a bun is a blessing :) Quite possibly the best gluten-free bread I've had. The chive aïoli on this burger was icing on the cake... or burger :-) Seriously check out this burger spot.

Ordered the KJ chicken sandwich.... SOOOO good. It comes with a house made coleslaw that is to die for! The sauce is so good as well, sweet but with a slight kick. It came with a side of fries and was very well priced for what I got. The sandwich was so big I cut it in half and was able to make 2 meals out of it! They had a self service option to place the order and it made it so simple. The food came out quickly and was so hot and fresh.

We just had lunch delivered to my work. I ordered a mushroom provolone burger. I got a mushroom guacamole burger. It was ok. But it wasn't mine. I would Love to get a mushroom provolone burger sometime.

Terrible service, Ricardo (said he was the owner) made us pay 4x for the dipping sauces. Recharged us .87 cents multiple times on a credit card for a bill we already paid for. His co worker shrugged his shoulders behind him almost confused as to why he was charging .87 cents. Overall dry chicken, terrible owner. Would recommend to avoid.

Astonishingly high quality and tasteful signature (regular / Knockabout) cheeseburger. Burger construction was near perfect: no patty sliding around. Grease ratio: perfect. The secret to their burgers is the high quality meat. While Chef Brandon and his team utilize a traditional grille (vs a charbroiler), I found the patty flavorful but to my surprise, free of grease. The cheese, vegetables, bun, and regular French fries were all above average. If only it wasn't cold outside, we would have sat on the patio. I can't think of a nicer setting in Denver. The panoramic view of the skyline is truly memorable. This is a testimonial to specialization: they do one thing and do it right. I would just order the knockabout cheeseburger with American and regular fries. It was cooked to perfection. Short of me firing up my grill and concocting the Gordon Ramsay F-word cheeseburger, this is about as good as it gets at a trendy food setting. Pricing was about right as well.

These burgers were amazing. They were very flavorful and the garlic Parmesan fries were out of this world. They also have a lot of wonderful vegetarian options.

Just got cheeseburger to go. Maybe don't put tomatoes on it if your going to use the rotten ones. Not worth $18 bucks for fries and ok burger.

Honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. I got the goat cheese and caramelized onion veggie burger and garlic park fries. They have about 6 vegetarian options which is super impressive. Aside from the wonderful food you get to eat it on a rooftop that overlooks the city. Great ambience and food- would definitely recommend to a friend.

Ordered pickup. Burger and fries wasn't warm. Had to reheat my meal at home. Parking is really tough. Ordered the Knockabout Burger, ehhh 6/10

Pretty good burgers. Creatively constructed. The curry sweet potato fries were quite good. My wife was pleased that there was a gluten free bun available and it turned out to be good. Ordering process is confusing at first. Once you get the hang of the on-screen ordering interface at the counter then it is fine. No one readily available to help so the cook had to come out behind the counter to give us some quick instruction. He did not seem pleased. Must be short staffed - like everyone else these days. Excellent service from the beverage lady. You bus your own table. You do have to pay attention to your cell phone because that's how you get notice that your food is ready and then you go retrieve it.

Grabbed an order for pickup, as I'm constantly in search of a great burger, and I found it. Great beef, perfectly cooked, on a big, soft bun with the most unique and flavorful add-ons which make these burgers so tasty without being overwhelming. I also tried the Curry Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries, which were amazing and I couldn't stop eating them. This is the place for pure deliciousness on a not-so-average burger. Definitely check it out!

Ordered a burger at the Avanti location that was set to be ready in 15 mins. After 15 mins we went to the counter to get our burger and it was ice cold. We asked if we could get a warm burger and the woman on staff told us that it's wasn't their fault the burger was cold, and there was nothing she could do. Asked for a refund since we paid $15 for a cold burger and no fries and she told us no with a rude attitude and horrible customer service.

This place is simply amazing. The couple who run the business are both kind, and the food is incredible! You show up for the burgers, you fall in love with the fries and then you stay for the ice cream. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I went to Knock About Burgers to enjoy a juicy, yummy burger....I mean, that's what they are known for, right?! So I cozied up to the window and pondered the very inviting menu. But what caught my eye was the Kimchi Burger. I must say, I was a bit skeptical. Why put all that on a burger? Then, I decided to put on my big girl pants and take the plunge into a not so ordinary burger. Well, what to my surprise did I discover?? The Kimchi Burger, with a.....wait for it....a fried egg and that weird fermented cabbage stuff. YES, you read that right, and it was MARVELOUS!!!! Not just a burger, but a delicate combination of flavors that will explode in your mouth!! The kimchi was perfectly fermented, not too tangy, but just right! But why stop there, add hoisin ketchup and sriracha mayo with that fried egg, and really bring the flavors home!!! Never have I had a burger so unique and so tasty. But hold the sauce, it didn't just stop there, they then paired it with curry sweet potato fries!!! Those multitude of flavors may seem too much, but I am telling you, this burger and fries combo is worth the trip out of your house and down the street!!! This succulent combo will tantalize you at strange hours, because there is no way to recreate it, you just have to keep going back for more!!!!
