Slater's 50/50

Fun joint with plenty of TVs and great service. The food is…ok. Burger was overcooked and the patties were dry. For the price, I wasn’t impressed. The side salad was also dry with very little dressing compared to the generous portion of lettuce and croutons. The bacon flight was a fun concept and worth the price. My partner got the fried chicken cobb salad and had to ask for more dressing as well (pictured was the salad after more dressing was added). Otherwise it would have been very dry. The portion of salad and toppings was quite generous! He loved it and couldn’t finish it because he was so full. We went because we had the Denver Eat + Drink pass. What we paid after getting an entree free was about what we expected to pay BEFORE getting an entree free. So yeah, prices are steep in my opinion (and I know prices have been increasing lately, but I think this is still overpriced). Overall, we will be back to try again. The menu looks scrumptious and I HAVE to try one of their shakes at some point. The service and atmosphere impressed us a ton!

Best burger ever? Maybe. Best burger I've had in Denver so far? Easily! I'm not saying there isn't better out there, but give this bar a shot! Wonderful food all around a great beer and drink selection. Bartenders are cool and fun, laid back. Really great atmosphere, whether it's lunch or dinner. Ask for the lunch burger and beer special!

We had a great dinner here last night before the show at Ball Arena. We came during happy hour and got to try the bacon mac and cheese balls for $6. The smash burger was delicious and so were the sweet potato fries (get the pumpkin sauce to dip them in! 🤤) I came for one of their milkshakes but was too full to try one. Morgan, our waitress, got both of our orders right and I had a lot of modifications. We will definitely be back.

Okay I about had the best burger and fries I’ve had in a LONG time. Ordered the BBB 50/50 burger which is 50% bacon and 50% beef - so good. Also, got the fried Shmanimal style! Highly recommend! My entire table loved their food. Prices were very fair, look forward to coming back! 🫶

It was a lovely bar and restaurant setting where the staff was very friendly and sweet. The burgers are absolutely amazing and I will totally be good back to try some of the other food they have as soon as possible

A bacon-lovers paradise. I've never seen half the amount of speciality bacon options that Slaters has to adorn your burger with. But even that's not their secret weapon. The 50/50 bacon/beef patty should not be missed. It truly elevates this burger to something you haven't had before. There's no reason to skimp on it either - try a 50/50 with parmesan and rosemary bacon and the house bacon ketchup, with the Smanimal fries on the side and those bits of bacon heaven atop golden mountains of queso and thousand island. Mmm... it makes me want MORE BACON 🥓🥓🥓 Paradise.

I'm gonna he 100% honest, Katie was an amazing server, she is so sweet and nice she deserves more, I saw so many videos of this place and I really thought that It was gonna be a great experience, food was very disappointing, The Mac And Cheese ball were fired, but the burger were so sad, the meat has no flavor, my our burgers didn't come with bacon and grilled onions, food had no taste, I'm very disappointed and sorry but I'm not coming back, I'm giving 3 stars because of Katie. I can tell why the place looked so empty a Saturday at 5 PM

I had the most wonderful experience at Slater’s 50/50 in Denver. Our server, Katie, was so cheerful and sweet! Their bowls are amazing! My friend never compliments food… even in the fanciest restaurants… but said how much he loved the turkey bowl. I will definitely be going back and will bring more friends with me soon!

We celebrated a birthday with a small group and had a blast. The staff was very accommodating and found a very important basketball game for us to watch. The poke bowl was delicious as was the beer! Our server took great care of us and a fun night was had by all!

After a long day on the slopes, we needed something filling, and Slater's 50/50 did not disappoint! The burgers were delicious, my favorite was the Smashburger. My boyfriend's burger was a little more on the rare side than he preferred, but he still said it was really good. The service was awesome! The staff walked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We also ordered a s'mores milkshake, which was incredible, definitely a must try if you have a sweet tooth. If not, they have a solid happy hour with plenty of beer and cocktail options. Overall, a great casual spot to refuel after an adventure!

Food tasted good at first. But the longer I sat with it the worse I started to feel. Had 6 wings and the Mac and cheese balls. Ended up throwing it all up an hour later, before I left the restaurant. Told the AGM Eric about it. But my check was left unadjusted. So I just paid to puke. Thanks Slaters. Not only will I not be back, it's going on the "Avoid" list at the work office. Happy new year.

It's crazy to me that people aren't frequenting Slater's 50-50 on the regular. Yes people are fans and it can get busy, but this place should have a line out of the door and a waitlist. The spot has huge, big screen, TVs, and all corners of the restaurant, making it such a good place to watch a football game or any sport for that matter. They have a huge wraparound bar With the most friendly bartenders and a tap list. That'll make you faint. On top of all that their food is amazing. If you're a burger, lover, their burgers are piled high and they have a variety shirt to fit anyone's pallet. I highly recommend the highbrow burger, or their recent monthly special, which was a buffalo burger with blueberry balsamic bacon And garlic aïoli. Yum. All of their apps are also incredible. They are best known for their vampire dip, which is like artichoke dip, overflowing out of a bread bowl served with fried pitas and veggie sticks. It's creamy and delicious. But my favorite thing to get here is their wing flight. Slater's really knows how to do wings. They are lightly breaded and so crispy and freshly fried. They are big and meaty and cooked all the way through. On top of that they come in six different flavors which you get a taste of on the wing flight. All of them are so good and I come back just for the wings. This place slaps I highly recommend.

The burger was pretty good, but we asked for the 1000 island dressing on the side and it came on the burger. Garlic Parmesan fries were just ok. The service was great and the ambiance was chill. They had great music playing.

Always a great place to hang out before heading directly into downtown. There is always room at Slater's but diners can still make reservations. Thanks to the staff for accommodating our requests to watch multiple NFL games (gotta check Fantasy Football natch!) I am a big fan of their burgers, especially the 50/50. It's cooked with a slight pink, and is uber juicy and tasty. No where else compares! Leave room for one of their fantastic milkshakes. Then plan to run a marathon to work it off.

This is one of those classic "fancier" burger places and I think I just can't totally get behind the prices but the food is quite good. They have some great milkshakes and burger options but compared to some of their denver competition in my mind they only stay ahead by their burgers as the staff is usually kind of annoyed and again the prices are a bit much - but I get they are in a high rent spot. 5280 burger bar seems to make it work though and spankys down in the university neighborhood has much better deals. The space is big though so you can always go and get a table.

Went here for dinner before an event. Fries are delicious. I asked to split a burger with a friend since I wasn't super hungry and they actually gave us two smaller plates which I really appreciated. The only downside was we couldn't find our waiter when we were trying to check out so we ended up walking to the bar to get a check, but if time isn't an issue for you, eating here was great.

As soon as you come here you will be greeted with such great customer service. Tommy the parking attendant was super super amazing, he even walked us here and told us about the parking validation when you eat here. Isiah and Joey are super sweet and attentive as well. Joey was our server and he was very sweet and took care of us. I had the lone star burger, macaroni cheese balls and the strawberry cheesecake shake and everything was super delicious. You can add alcohol to the milkshake. I like that you can watch games here and the ambiance is very relaxing.

This place is so killer. Tried them in Vegas the first time then came across them on Yelp when I was in Denver and thrilled I did!!! Came in and had the burger special which was a mix of a bunch of meats- elk, bison, etc burger. It was a little gamey for my taste but I love the creativity. Their PB&J burger I have had in the past and it's awesome. The sweet potato fries with caramel is a real treat. For those that don't want burgers, they have a great chicken sandwich and a bunch of other great options. My husband loved his fried chicken sandwich. Do not, under any circumstances, sleep on the vampire dip. It might be the star of the show. Delicious cheese dip in a sourdough bowl. So good omg. Last, but not least, we got the strawberry cheesecake shake. It was total overkill after this meal, but when in Rome. It was also amazing- especially if you like rich stuff. Last but not least; the service was wonderful. Ambiance is chill and prices are more than fair. Can't recommend Slaters enough! 10/10

We have really been enjoying coming here for brunch and for dinners ! The food is excellent and the service is amazing. There is fun art on the walls. It's in an excellent location in RINO and is a great place to go to before or after events in the area. They have excellent deals and you get so much food too! We still need to try the milkshakes though. We eat too much food and then no room for the shakes so we need to have a day we just come and do dessert!

Fun dinner! Our waiter was so nice and patient the whole time despite how crazy busy they were. We had some pretty good drinks here to start. (Strong margaritas!) We tried to start off with the vampire dip and if you look at the picture it's HUGE it's a full on entree and we ended up getting full from just that alone despite sharing it together! Unless you're sharing that with a hundred other people I probably wouldn't order that if you wanted to enjoy your entree because I couldn't even touch a crumb of mine without feeling like an endless food coma. It was supremely tasty though so it was worth the suffering. Had my burger as leftovers which was a grilled chicken ranch sandwich. It was alright but maybe it was because I had it as a burger. Will come back in the future to snag a smaller appetizer and a different burger!

This place was a great experience for us both. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. They played fun music and have unique art on the walls and has a cool fun vibe! We are looking forward to coming back soon and trying the big fun milkshakes that they are known for. We have done brunch here and also we had an in between meal here with a cheese bread bowl dip thing that was absolutely amazing! We have had chicken wings and burgers and it's all so good! This place is definitely worth the visit and is in the heart of Denver in RINO near so much fun stuff right off a light rail stop!

This place is great. I'm excited that we have one in Denver. Their burgers are insanely tasty! PB& J was enlightening. Oh and their beer menu was awesome. Service was outstanding. Thanks, Mariah! The atmosphere is typical sports bar with TVs, but it's better than that!

Looks just like the tiktok! I went here for my birthday celebration with a few friends :) There is street parking or a close garage. The space was pretty big :) We went on a Wednesday night so it was not that crowded. Happy hour was still going on and I strongly suggest getting there on time for it. We saw a tiktok that showcased the crazy fun milkshakes; so honestly, we were only there for milkshakes but got a lot of food off the happy hour menu :) The milkshakes are big enough to share so partner up! We got the Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake, Birthday Milkshake, and Smores Milkshake. The Strawberry one came with a slice of cheesecake! My friends got that and said they really liked it. I got the birthday milkshake! It comes with sparklers! It was a vanilla base with sprinkles in it! Very tasty. My other friend got the smores milkshake! It comes with a smore and a stick full of marshmallows! It's a vanilla base but they put a lot of chocolate syrup in it so it's more of a chocolate milkshake. We did not finish these but they do have to go cups! We all ordered the happy hour backyard burger and got happy hour fries. I got the garlic parm fries and they were really good! Hot and fresh. The ketchup is a mixture of regular ketchup and a taste of bacon. We thought it was a little too strong on the bacon side. Like it was just the bacon grease and ketchup. Maybe a little less bacon add in and it would have been perfect. Over all it was a great birthday experience and I would go again during happy hour!

Insanely crazy good/ridiculous food! Everything is super flavorful (don't skip the tapatío ranch!) and loaded with bacon! There's a few vegetarian options too. They're known for their over the top milkshakes topped with all sorts of stuff (depending on the flavor...cheesecake, s'mores, sparklers, etc)! Comfortable and casual atmosphere with bar seating and TVs. The service was amazing!!! Loved our server.

This was our second time here and we love the menu! This time around I ordered the poke nachos and was genuinely surprised at the generous portion of tuna. The nachos were smothered in delicious tuna along with sauces, greens, and sesame. I shared the dish with others and still couldn't finish it! I've always wanted to try their signature stuffed shakes, but never seem to have room after the meal for dessert. One day I shall return just for that.

We visited for an early lunch on Sunday. We were seated right away by a friendly man. Our server greeted us but came off as quite aloof. That attitude continued through our meal. The food was very good. My husband was very happy with his poke bowl. I had a cheeseburger that was pretty good but I wish I'd ordered something more interesting. The restaurant is nice and spacious. We hope to come back to check out the amazing-looking milkshakes.

If you're on a diet, this place will instantly mess that up. We got the Line Star, a BBQ burger with onion rings, and it was top notch. Tons of flavor, perfectly cooked, and even cut in half so we could share (a nice touch). They forgot our honey mustard but we didn't even miss it, the sweet potatoes were served with a pumpkin dip that was the perfect companion for the fries. We also got the s'mores shake with a chocolate whiskey shot. It was heavenly, with a little smore wedged in it, a stick of charred marshmallows, and frosting with graham crack crumbs on the rim. They had a huge beer selection, especially local choices. Our server was super friendly and communicative. Loved the industrial upscale decor. Great meal and would go back to clog my arteries again. Maybe for a birthday, as the birthday shake came with lit sparklers for that extra festive touch.

Sat for 15 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant, and nobody ever stopped by to even ask us if we wanted anything to drink... server stopped at the table right next to us at least 3 times to check on them and didn't say a word to us.... Told the host when we were leaving, and instead of trying to help us get served, they just let us leave and said it would cost someone their job... it cost them customers for sure, I was really looking forward to giving them a try as well!

This is a nice burger joint in RiNo that is conveniently by the bus and train stations. The service was quick, and our server was very friendly. The original 50/50 was cooked perfectly medium-rare and the garlic parmesan fries were amazing the restaurant inside was the usual feel as a burger joint/bar & grill. It has a newer look and vibe. I highly recommend the burgers here this place didn't blow my mind, but definitely is worth stopping in for a quick bite.

Service was better. The food was banging!!! The best burgers. I got the hi-brow burger this time and it was Devine! I don't like blue cheese AT ALL this was a magical combination that I'd have over again

Mariah was an amazing bartender and gave us great service, we sampled a bunch of beers before we had dinner reservations at fish n beer. Great music and vibes. Can't wait to come back and try the Nashville chicken sandwich and the Caesar salad.

Staff is great, the food is good and the shakes have fun, boozy flavors! It's a nice cozy venue with cool decor and a mellow vibe.

Burgers were good but the service was some of the worst I've had in awhile. There was barely anyone in the restaurant, and a ton of staff yet we had to ask for things multiple times, and didn't even get it.

Consider my expectations exceeded. I was staying close by and hadn't eaten all day, so on a whim I came here after reading the reviews here on Yelp. The vibe of the space is kind of like a sports bar if the bar catered to a little more of a hipster clientele: bands like Radiohead and The Shins played overhead during my meal and there's eclectic artwork on the walls. I sat at the bar and the service I received from the bartender, Zack, was really solid -- he gave some great recommendations and was really attentive to my needs during my meal. I ordered the smashburger and made my fries "shmanimal style" which was very similar to an In-n-Out experience complete with melty cheese, special sauce, grilled onions, and bacon. The smashburger was really good, too, but part of me feels like I should have been more adventurous and gotten the PB&J burger instead -- maybe next time if I visit again whenever I'm in Denver next. The bun was pillowy, the burgers were seared to perfection, and the produce was crisp and refreshing on the sandwich. Honestly no complaints. On the recommendation of the person serving me, I also tried the onion rings which were insanely good. Super crunchy, thick cut, and they came with this amazing dipping sauce. All in all, really glad I tried this spot out and I'll add it to my bookmarks for the future.

Chill vibes and solid craft beer selection. I've tried a classic 50/50 burger and now the awesome appetizer platter. Highly recommend both. Spicy wings, smothered fries, and bacon mac and cheese balls really hit the spot. Sat at the bar both times with great, attentive service.

Last night was rough for them. Late night food waited 30+ mins for a bland sliders. The people before us just up and left. I guess they were down a cook? Hot mess regardless wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Burger was bland, undercooked egg, tastes like they didn't season it at all, fries cold and chili cheese not melted or hot. Although the wings was fresh and buffalo sauce was really good. I'd go back for wings and that's it.

The twice fried wing are second to none the burger was amazing but the bacon on the burger ohh my god !!! When I come back to Denver this is first on my list

En route to an evening downtown checking out the Luminova event at Elitches, we decided to make a pit stop and grab a couple drinks and a bit to eat. Slater's 50/50 was that stop. THE SPACE: Think of Slater's as an upscale sports bar, and you will most likely not be disappointed. Around the bar are numerous tvs, showing a variety of games. They even put little signs on the tvs, so you know which one to watch to catch your favorite teams. The dinning area is large and features a ton of seating options from regular booths, to large booths, and bar seating for every size group. It gives off modern, classy, industrial type vibes. THE BREWS: Their tap list is MASSIVE! So naturally I was in beer heaven. I started my meal with a pour of Mockery Brewing's Return to Ruin, then switched gears and gave Ratio Beerworks King of Carrot a try. Yum! My husband opted for a couple different beers as well, which our friends chose the spiked strawberry limeades. There are so many drink options from nonalcoholic, to cocktails, and beer, there's bound to be something for everyone. THE BITES: So Slater's 50/50 is known for a unique 50/50 mix of beef and pork for their burger patties. Being the Yelper that I am, I had to give it a try. So I chose the Original 50/50 burger with shmanimal fries. I like the idea, but it seemed like the outside of my burger patty was far more cooked than the inside. I don't know if the grill was up too high or what, but that was pretty disappointing. Next time I will probably stick to a normal burger. We got an order of the bacon mac and cheese balls for our group as well. They were paired with a spicy ranch, I really enjoyed those. THE SERVICE: Our server Zack was super friendly and attentive. He checked back with us frequently to ensure we had everything we needed, and our glasses were never empty. He did a great job explaining the different menu items and answering any questions we had. All in all, Slater's 50/50 was a solid way to kick off our winter evening downtown. I'd make my way back to sample more of their menu for sure.

Our experience at this restaurant on Friday night was alarming. The manager Nathanial, chose to have us cut off and eventually kicked out because we were too emotional. We were emotional because my sister, niece, best friend and I were sitting at the bar, and yes, we were crying and laughing as we processed our mother being placed on home hospice care. I have had some time to think about what happened and I did call Nathanial an emotional dullard, which was not nice. But someone with his capacity should not be in the people business. The ten people that eventually got kicked out with us will never return and I will continue to leave one star reviews until the person that hired Nathanial reaches out to me.

Love the food and the service here!! Such a fun date night spot. Yummy shakes, burgers are bomb. Brunch is also phenomenal, the mimosa flight is the best.

Our burgers and fries were great, YUM! Take out was fast, friendly, and seamless. The atmosphere looked enticing.

What a cool place to enjoy a moment, whether it was hanging at the bar or a table, the service was great! I typically get together with a couple people for a Sunday night dinner, I said local places we usually go to closed so someone suggested I go to slaters. There's a pretty big bacon theme, but if that's not for you, that's OK. There are a lot of options on the menu! I had the 50-50 burger, which is comprised of bacon and ground beef and I had it wrapped in lettuce, it was delicious. The other burgers looked incredible as well. I didn't have enough room in my belly to order one of the most once milkshakes I have ever seen (except in Vegas) but will make sure I come back to enjoy one soon! From the minute we walked in the servers were immediately friendly, and that didn't stop throughout the evening.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and REALLY wanted to like this place... came in with big hopes. Food: great recipes, nice toppings, but poor execution. Fries were cold, burger patties were rubbery (got the Original 50/50 - thought it would be much more tender). Service: Very inattentive.... Sat at a table, but had to chase a bartender down whenever we needed anything.... And everything took 2 asks for them to remember (just a side of ketchup pls!) Overall great concept, but felt like no one there was really managing the place who cared.

Came here during restaurant week and got a really good deal! We were seated immediately and the place has a cool vibe. Got the bacon mac and cheese balls, burger & fries, plus fried oreos for $25. Food came out pretty fast and was big servings. My 50/50 burger was slightly undercooked in a few spots but everything else was great!

Bacon, Burgers, Beer. I believe it's pronounced "Heaven". First impression couldn't have been better; the place has the exact vibe of somewhere I could spend a LOT of time. Wife ordered a Best Damn Bacon Cheeseburger; I ordered the 50 Alarm 50/50 Burger. Expectations were running high. We also each ordered a WeldWerks Single Barrel Medianoche beer, and in the end it was the only thing that didn't disappoint. Let's get the french fries out of the way. They were really sub-par, tasting like they were cooked in old grease. On to my wife's burger. The bacon was cooked perfectly, but when she bit into the burger, the inside was exactly as pink as raw hamburger meat you buy at the grocery store. Even the waiter agreed. They have the grille too hot; when the replacement burger came back it was solid black on the outside. Ironically, now the strips of bacon were undercooked. My burger was a little more cooked, but not a lot more. The description didn't alert me to the fact that 4 complete Jalapenos and 1 compete Habanero would come in and on the burger. (I was picturing Jalapeno slices.) Jalapeno slices would have been better. Taking bites out of whole Jalapenos is overrated! I will say that the Habanero lived up its wicked reputation, and I won't casually eat one ever again! We told our waiter early on that we had an event that we couldn't miss, so while we weren't rushed, we couldn't act like we had all the time in the world. Thus it was disappointing when he brought us the check and then disappeared for over 15 minutes. We finally gave up and left cash on the table. I do hope that Slater's got it. I recognize that this place has a lot of potential and that other folks have had better experiences, but 2 stars is fair for the experience we had.

Unpopular opinion: this place really isn't that great. I'm giving it three stars because the man behind the bar let me draw him a beautiful photo on the back of a kids menu. The taste of the burger kinda gets lost in the messiness and the complexities of the burger. Fries are mediocre at best. And everything kind of tastes the same, no matter what you go for. I've been here twice so I feel like I've given it a fair chance. This place just isn't for me.

Stopped in for burgers the other night. It's a typical sports bar- nice bar, lots of tvs, healthy beer list. Our waiter was nice and efficient. He explained that their thing is bacon- the 50/50 has to do with certain burgers being 50% beef and 50% bacon. I had the backyard burger and fries and thought it was a pretty good restaurant burger. My husband had the hi-brow burger and thought it was just okay. He liked mine better. The portions were big- we each took home half a burger for lunch the next day.

This place is a must go if your in the area. They hands down have the BEST Nashville chicken sandwich I've ever tasted! Comes with fries and BACON KETCHUP! It was delicious! Oh! Don't forget to try one of their shakes too! Ambiance in the restaurant is nice and chill. Our bartender Brett was super awesome! Great service and friendly guy all around. He was able to recommend to us on what to order on the menu and even gave us places to try since we're coming from out of town! Give it a try I promise you won't regret it.

I was excited to give Slater's a try after seeing them all over my TikTok. Me and a friend were looking for a good place to eat for dinner, to catch up after not seeing each other for many months. I knew immediately I wanted to try the Bacon Appetizer and Southern Chicken Cobb Salad. A few of the other appetizers looked appealing, but I wanted to try their other foods to see if they were good before trying them. The bacon appetizer was very delicious. I couldn't tell any of the other bacon flavors from each other, other than the cheesy bacon, but the bacon jam was addicting and exceptional! The salad was amazing as well, I just wish there was a bit more dressing. *Extra tip if you add the bacon jam to the salad, it will level it up in flavor!*

Had the Cobb salad delicious and amazing chicken. Bluemoon was great!!! Enjoyed the atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Went here for a milkshake on a hot day, it was 90% whipped cream. Whipped cream at the bottom too! That's wild! There wasnt even a full scoop of icecream blended into it. Severely disappointed.

You must be in the mood to eat here. And also not looking for anything healthy hahah Their burgers are great. I didn't get to try a milkshake bc I was already full and headed to a concert at Mission

This was a last minute stop that ended up great. The food was very good and the service was friendly and attentive

Good Happy Hour menu and great bar scene for watching sports! They have on every TV the NFL football teams and who will play each other. It's very neat! Their menu is American grill emphasis on bacon! I got their Cauliflower Wings ( Maple Bourbon ) soooo good. My husband got their Mac and cheese bacon bites and their happy hour burger ($8) can't beat that.

The food was great as was the drinks. Had great service. Try the bacon old fashion. Plenty of tvs to watch the game.

My boyfriend and I saw this place on yelp so we wanted to give it a shot! The burgers were on the drier side but were helped by the toppings. I loved how crispy both the regular fries and the sweet potato fries were! Their beer list had great variety and I enjoyed being able to get a Weldwerks sour! We had to try a shake for dessert and they are definitely massive. It was sweet but not too sweet and we enjoyed the slice of cheesecake on top. I definitely wouldn't have been able to finish one by myself. Service was kind of slow although they had a bunch of servers. We were seated immediately and the host was enthusiastic. Everyone was friendly - it just seemed disorganized given how many of the staff were standing around. We were also seated on the side of the bar that wasn't part of the main dining room so this might be why we seemed to have slower service. The parking isn't fantastic as it's all street parking next to a lot of construction. Hopefully this gets better as the construction finishes. The construction also makes it a little more dicey to walk there after finding street parking in the neighborhood. It also seems to be on the edge of RiNo, farther away from everything else. All in all, we wouldn't go out of our way to come back but if we were in the neighborhood, we'd give it another shot.
