West Saloon & Kitchen

Ambiance: Has  rustic, sports bar feel. It's very clean and open with some views but the views will be limited on the 1st floor. Service: There no wait for lunch, its a fairly sized venue. Cameron was our waiter. He was professional, friendly, attentive and welcoming. Food: Lamb sliders had NO flavor so skip them. The Campfire wings and chili with green chili fries were delicious. I'd go back again just for these

5 Stars – Outstanding Service and Food! I had an amazing experience at West Saloon and Kitchen! The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. What really made the visit special was our waiter, ERIC. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made multiple recommendations from the menu, in which they ended up being the best we’ve ever had! The wings were perfection, and the fried green beans were out of this world!! ERIC went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and truly made our time there enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back anytime I visit Denver– highly recommend!

We took a delightful break for lunch at a cozy little restaurant, where we savored a rich and creamy beef stroganoff served over tender egg noodles, its savory sauce infused with mushrooms and hints of garlic. Alongside that, we enjoyed a hearty slice of meatloaf, perfectly seasoned and topped with a tangy tomato glaze, accompanied by a side of fluffy mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. It was a satisfying and comforting meal that left us feeling refreshed and content.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch on Sunday as tourists in the city, and ESPECIALLY enjoyed and appreciated the TRUE HOSPITALITY given to us by our server, Elyse. She was the most beautiful ambassador of Denver we experienced all weekend, displaying genuine care and kindness that made the entire weekend more memorable. When we were struggling to know which local beer to enjoy, she brought over a "mini flight"'of her favorite local beers so that we could choose our preference. THIS spontaneous beer tasting was ONE OF THE MOST FUN MOMENTS we experienced on our trip! Genuine hospitality is something that I so greatly appreciate, and Elyse helped us create such a fun memory here. The food was great too! Elyse was also a great tour guide of the menu. The fish & chops were perfect (how is that gluten free???), and my breakfast burger with apricot preserves was top notch. Thanks for Elyse for such a great experience at West! ❤️

Thank you Eric G for a great lunch and pleasant experience. Eric answered all of our questions and was patient with our large group! He was attentive to our table and was always willing to help. He asked us if we had allergies which was extremely considerate.

Great place for any occasion! Cool enough to feel casual and nice enough to go formal. Food and drinks were delicious (and strong 🥂)! The artwork and general vibe are very well curated, and most impressive of all was the service. Our server David was kind and patient, making us feel welcome from the start and even when I accidentally spilled an entire glass of water. 🫣 Another very pleasant surprise is their manager Bill, who can be found roaming the restaurant to charismatically check in with guests and assure the quality of their experience. 10/10!

If I could give West Saloon & Kitchen more than five stars, I absolutely would. This place is everything you could hope for in a Colorado dining experience – warm, welcoming, flavorful, and downright memorable. From the food to the atmosphere to the absolutely stellar service, every aspect was beyond expectation. Let me start with the food – because wow. The Mac & Cheese was hands-down some of the best I’ve had in any city. Perfectly creamy, rich, and comforting, with a depth of flavor that told me it was made with care, not from a box. It wasn’t just a side dish – it was an experience in itself. The pulled pork was next-level tender and juicy, with just the right amount of smoky flavor and a tangy finish that made every bite crave-worthy. It practically melted in my mouth. Then there was the corn on the cob – sweet, perfectly roasted, and seasoned to perfection. It had that fresh, off-the-grill flavor that made it feel like summer in every bite. But the real showstopper for me was the Colorado chili. Rich, hearty, and spiced just right – this was a bowl of bold, local flavor that stuck with me long after the meal was over. You could tell it was made with authentic ingredients and lots of love. I would come back for the chili alone. Now let’s talk about the ambiance – rustic but polished, cozy but with an energy that makes you feel alive. West Saloon captures the spirit of Colorado in all the best ways. It’s the kind of place you could bring out-of-town guests to show them what Denver is really about – or just treat yourself to a quality night out. Warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a vibe that feels like both a saloon and a modern dining hotspot. And now, the real reason I’ll be coming back again (and again): Eric. If you’re lucky enough to be served by him, prepare yourself for world-class service. Eric wasn’t just attentive – he was engaged. Genuinely friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and passionate about making sure our experience was nothing short of perfect. His recommendations were spot-on (seriously, thank you for guiding us to the chili and Mac & cheese), and he made us feel like VIPs the entire time. His energy, professionalism, and personal touch elevated our entire evening. Honestly, Eric went above and beyond in every possible way. I would return to West Saloon & Kitchen just to be seated in his section again. He is the kind of employee that makes a place unforgettable. TL;DR: Amazing food, chill yet vibrant atmosphere, and truly exceptional service. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. And when you go, ask for Eric – you’ll thank me later. We’ll be back – no question about it!

A unique Denver spot with tasty American food. This burger was spot on. It had a great bun, the meat was juicy, jalapeño was not too spicy, just a great tasty burger. West of Surrender Saloon and Kitchen is such a cool name too. Enjoy!

Good restaurant overall ! Will return when downtown. Very big selections on the menu !

Food: Pot Pie and Peach Crumble are off the charts delicious. Service: Our server was awesome too. Overall, great staff. Eat here already.

Stopped here for brunch and it was just the pick me up we need! Our server was very nice and attentive. They had the windows open and it was should great weather when we went that it was refreshing! I ordered the wedge salad and it was so pretty! The presentation was just beautiful!

Was in town for a conference and looking for something in the area that wasn't a chain. This place popped up on Yelp with good reviews, a unique menu and was locally owned. I also thought that the fact that the owner responded to the reviews showed he really cared about his customers' experience. The place has a fun kitschy vibe, outdoor seating and could easily accommodate large groups inside. I ordered the Green Chili Chicken Sandwich because it was a local take on a classic sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The green chili really added something different. If you like chicken sandwiches you should check this one out. The fries were also good with extra chili to smother them in if you want. My server, Kayla, was friendly and attentive. She recommended the Cheesecake Eggrolls and even though I was full she made them sound like something I didn't want to miss, and, damn, she was right! I'm a chocolate guy, but the warm crunchy shell surrounding the cheesecake combined with the berries, cream and caramel sauce is dessert perfection. Make sure to save room for this delectable end to a great meal. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town.

You won't be surprised to know that we found West Saloon and Kitchen on Yelp, right?!? There is power in unbiased reviews, yo! Anyway, yes, West Saloon & Kitchen absolutely lived up to its reviews. We had a party of 7 and were sat immediately. Nice! Our waitress was attentive but not too much. She answered all of our questions, and split our checks with ease. She was awesome. We had an assortment of dishes and cocktails and no one expressed disappointment. In fact, no one left food on their plates either. Our crowd favorite was the Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie. Several friends thought this was flavorful and hearty for a cold, snowy day. Another friend loved the Rodeo burger. I chose the Chicken Fajita Salad. Its was delicious. I haven't had Napa cabbage as a foundation, but man, it was tasty and offered a nice texture. It was tossed with roasted corn, fajita veggies and dill ranch. All topped with cotija cheese, crispy wonton strips, guajillo crema, chimmichurri vinaigrette, Mountain Man Micro Farms cilantro, and all-natural grilled chicken. Can I tell you how much I appreciate locally sourced ingredients? Yum. I will be back! Oh, and their Paloma was fantastic - not too limey. Perfection.

Bumped into this place while walking and decided to eat. Bit on the pricier side but the service and food make up for it. Service was great and attentive whereas everything on the menu was delicious. The pulled pork was the best part but everything was good. The mac and cheese was also amazing. I had it as a side but that alone is worth the visit. If you have the extra dough to spend, I recommend it.

Western style sports bar type feel -tvs with various games on. Inside was clean with upstairs and downstairs seating. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Our server was friendly and helpful. The drinks were good and the fishbowl came in two sizes... the large is pictured. The short rib stroganoff was good and had a nice amount of short ribs. The mushroom burger was good but dry. We asked for some of the garlic aioli alto add to it and that helped. Fries were nice and crispy. The peach crumble I wanted to love but couldn't. It had a "donut glaze" type sauce which tasted like sweetened condensed milk and a made the peach crumble too sweet. We couldn't do more than a bite or two each. Overall I would recommend this restaurant but would recommend sauce for the burger and get the crumble without the sauce!

Amazing food, the service was right on and everyone was extremely friendly and they gave great recommendations!! the atmosphere was a ton of fun and the theme was like going back in time to a high end saloon.

Food and service was very good. The restaurant was not that busy. I am not sure if it has to do with the construction all over downtown.

Had a wonderful dinner here- burger was possibly overcooked(more well done than medium) but chock full of cheese and mushroom and the bun was so good- side salad instead of fries was huge portion- the chicken pot pie delivered and was delicious per daughter- salmon was cooked perfectly. Service was wonderful- our server aye anticipated our drinks and was friendly- food came out quickly- the peach cobbler for dessert was so delicious! Ambiance- will admit this place gets pretty loud!

I stumbled upon West Saloon and Kitchen after searching for dinner during a night out in Denver. It was such a pleasant surprise! Their menu is full of comfort food - burgers, sandwiches, meat loaf, steaks, flat breads. We had the fried green beans. Sounds basic but they were the best fried green beans I've ever had. The perfect breading and crunch. I had the meatloaf with the brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. So good! My friends had the flatbread and the turkey wrap. The dessert options looked amazing but we were too stuffed to try them. Next time! Because there will definitely be a next time.

Loved the food and tried what they are famous for. We enjoyed the decor. Only downside was it was so loud the waitress seemed to have lost her hearing and was answering us like she hadn't caught what we said. She did get our order correct and was trying to be friendly and prompt. If you want to share something (like we shared the pistachio beet salad) they put it on two plates without an extra charge.

Just had an amazing steak at this place. The service is excellent and everything is really good here very nice atmosphere and the food is amazing.

Stop by on Friday, January 12th 2023, with another couple for a late lunch early dinner. Big shout out to our server Michelle!!! We started with adult drinks of two margaritas & two tall draft beers. Our appetizers were (at Michelle's suggestion) prosciutto and fig flatbread & meatballs! Both very good and tasty. Our main entrées were: 120z Ribeye with extra Brussels sprouts, cooked to perfection! Two spinach sirloin salad with 3oz of steak cooked perfectly. A cider roasted chicken with rice pilaf, cooked perfectly juicy. For desserts (yes we still had room), a Mammoth, slice of carrot cake, moist & delicious. Cheesecake egg rolls cooked perfectly and Peach cobbler, that was just okay! Next time we are in town we will definitely come back!

Ordered the flatbread for a starter, the ingredients were good. However, they burnt almost half the bread, that took away the flavor. Left us with a charred taste. Also ordered their peppercorn ribeye, and it was not a good steak. The meat was chewy like rubber and it's strange to have that consistency when the meat is not cooked much. The service was slow but I think that it was just our waitress because other tables were getting served regularly. The restaurant itself was cool and had an old time vibe.

the food exquisite. A wonderful place to receive my marriage proposal Aye's attention was exceptional, a loving person 1000% recommended

This place was delicious! We dined here at lunchtime on a Thursday and it wasn't too packed. We were immediately seated and given menus to peruse. There were so many options that sounded amazing. Ultimately I chose theAartichoke Dip as a starter and the Fruit and Burrata Salad as my main. First, let me go on record as saying this was hands down THE BEST Artichoke Dip I've ever had! Not only was the dip incredible, but the pita chips served with it were de-lish. Best pita chips evar! Okay, the bar was set really high since the app was so amazing. The Fruit and Burrata Salad did not disappoint. It was mellow, and the produce was so fresh. Easily a 5-star meal! The atmosphere was great too- lots of natural light, and like a western eclectic kind of vibe going on. Also, service was attentive and chimed in at the perfect intervals. Overall, I'd definitely come back next time in Denver to explore more of this menu. The food was fantastic!

Try the chicken pot pie. It was really good. The crusts are remarkably good with a crisp golden quality. And the filling is rich and creamy.

They are allergy friendly! And they have flourless cake!!!! A-MAZING! Julia was our server and even with a boot on for a badly sprained foot she was hobbling around, getting to all of her tables in an efficient and expedient manner, and so cheerful through the whole thing! She has a great personality, and she got our orders 100% right- even with the changes to meet the allergy needs! We came here after seeing Kathleen Madigan at the Paramount- and to be frank....I was a bit tipsy from the wine. She was so patient and funny. The food was amazing, and the place had a great vibe! My husband loved that hockey was playing on the screens right by us! I really love how they are locally owned, want to make sure their employees earn a fair wage, and they say this on the receipt! Impressive! The bathrooms are downstairs....so don't try to maneuver in heels with wine in your system....it's tricky! What a fun time! Definitely would come here again!

An early dinner before heading g to the airport. Along 16th so quite a few options. It was pretty busy for 5 pm on a Monday. We shared a salad & flatbread.. lots of balsamic on both ( just a bit heavy on each) but very flavorful. Service was efficient and timely. There is construction in the area so plan accordingly.

I've walked past this place many times on my visits to downtown Denver, as I've stayed nearby often. I decided to walk in as the sign said it was a local family owned business. I really like the low key chill vibes in this spot. Service was fantastic. The Campfire Wings were some of the best wings I've ever had. They come in an order of 8 with celery and carrots. I split the order with two flavors, Gold Guajillo and Honey Ginger. They were phenomenal wing sauces and flavors. No need for ranch or bleu cheese here. Top notch spot. I'll be back!

Recently had a solid dinner and drinks experience at West of Surrender. I was running solo and received timely, attentive, and friendly service sitting at the bar. The bar area was lively, clean, moderately noisy, and had soft/dim lighting. For drinks, I ordered a peacemaker (basically an old fashioned) and tierra espresso martini. Very pleased with the peacemaker- also good value ($13); didn't care for the espresso martini seasonal cocktail as it was made with tequila and pricey ($17). For food, I ordered the lamb sliders appetizer ($13.50) with a side salad ($4.50). The lamb sliders were delicious- perfectly cooked and tender slices of lamb! Paired wonderfully with fresh brioch bun, melted cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, and aioli. Loved it! Came with two sliders- great value for the cost! The side salad was also tasty, fresh, good variety, and a fair value. My total bill had a "restaurant impact surcharge" of 3.5%. Don't care for that. West of Surrender is a rustic, saloon style, casual dine-in restaurant continently located along the 16th Street Mall (for better or worse in that regard) and next door to the Paramount Theatre. This would be a perfect place for before or after show drinks and bites!

Omgoodness, I had the Carne Asada Skillet, soooo wonderful. The seasonings and the flavor are a delight to your palate. Now the Apple Pie needs to be a staple on the menu, (unfortunately my photo shows the half eaten slice, but I couldn't help myself, lol). It's simply amazing on every level!!!! It is a special dessert, so I'm not sure how long it will be around, but their Chef Charles fire roasted the apples and made a Dutch Apple Pie to die for, yummmm I have to come back this week before it disappears.

Awesome place to eat drink and socialize. We've been coming here for a while now and it has yet to disappoint.

I came here for lunch on a tight schedule during a conference, and this place delivered. There were three of us at peak lunch hour, and we were finished before we were due back without a hint of a skimp on the quality of the service or the meal. The ambiance is that of a saloon, as the name suggests. It's not my favorite aesthetic, but it is irrelevant when the food and the service are top-notch. I had the solstice for the cocktail while perusing the massive menu. Though I was overwhelmed by the options, I was sure the quality would be there after the waiter touted the scratch kitchen. I ordered the beet salad and the macaroni and cheese, which was absolutely divine. Everything was incredibly fresh with balanced flavors. My coworkers got the fish, chips, and a salad; their food was also fabulous. The waiter was a darling. Very knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions and feedback. We'd hoped to return before the end of the conference but did not get the opportunity.

West Saloon & Kitchen is a staple for me in the winter. On snow days I need their delightful chicken pot pie to warm me up. It's seriously so good. My year round favorite to has been the lamb sliders though last time we got them they were super super salty. The restaurant is super spacious with a nice bar area and a laid back atmosphere. The staff has always been friendly and helpful when we come in :)

Great overall experience! I was visiting with a friend I hadn't seen in 28 years so we wanted t talk someplace quiet. They did their best to accommodate us and we had at least a solid hour of quiet before the place filled up. Good drinks--I had the Cowboy Margarita and she had the one that is like a mojito with coconut in it. I had the pot pie, and she had the beef stroganoff, both were delicious. The waiter was very good, prompt service and the manager or bartender came over to make sure we were happy with food and drinks.

Stopped by before a comedy show at the Paramount Theater. Service was great and we sat at the upper level of the restaurant. We had the Bells IPA and a Cider for drinks. We also had the French Onion Lamb Sliders and they were great. The entire place was very clean as well! I wish I saw the live music, but it's something to look forward to next time.

What a fun place with an old time saloon vibe. We really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance of this place! We were headed to the airport and wanted to dine in downtown. Found this gem of a place on Yelp. Right now they have lots of street construction going on, so we parked at the Pavillion and paid $8 for under 2 hours parking. Saved us from trying to find a street parking place that probably was near impossible. We used the Yelp waitlist, running a few minutes late but it all worked out. We were seated right away near a window. Specials were on a paper menu and the rest of the menu we scanned via a barcode on the table. Our waiter, Max, was excellent! Got us our waters and took our drink orders and promptly returned when we were ready to order our appetizer and meals. We ordered the artichoke dip - yum!!! And we ordered the following meals: short rib stroganoff- such a delicate flavor from the meat to the mushrooms over egg noodles (loved this dish, rich flavor), chicken pot pie - my daughter said it was rich and flavorful - very good and she loved the puffy top too! My husband had the Campfire Wings - epic with barrel-aged hot sauce and ranch for dipping. The wings were delicious and gluten free. Don't always find that these days. This place did not disappoint. We were very happy with everything - food, service, and the atmosphere. Great job. We would definitely go back and tell our friends. And, we also told the manager how wonderful Max was!!!

The food service and atmosphere were all phenomenal. We got the lamb sliders they were excellent. The steak was off the charts all the food I saw looked excellent too.

Hilarious I didn't realize West Saloon & Kitchen used to be West of Surrender until I arrived and asked myself, "Didn't this building used to be a different restaurant?" I was both hesitant and excited because I saw Campfire Wings on the menu and hoped they were good. Fortunately they lived up to my expectations! Super satisfying and great service. While waiting for my lunch, I hopped on the guest Wi-Fi network to answer some emails and enjoyed an ice cold (hapy hour) beer. Like literally, the mug just came out of the freezer. The wings were speedy, the sauce was tasty, and the chicken was meaty and tender. There were exactly 4 drumsticks atop 4 wings. Beautiful. Would come back again!

Had a good time. Decent food. Loud place. Lots of groups. Wait staff was quick and pleasant.

Great location for after shows at the paramount theatre! Plenty of seating inside & I love that you can make reservations! We were seated promptly and our server was prompt and attentive. The food was delicious! we got the sidewinder fries with green chili, which had the best taste, a classic burger that was cooked to perfection the Philly cheesesteak along with a flat bread. Everything was so good came out hot and fresh and the portions were huge.! We will definitely be returning customers.!

Good start! The El Dorado to drink. Cheers! I ordered the cider roasted chicken with Spicy Yammer and fries green beans. Looking forward to this meal.... Great meal! The chicken and yammer went well together and the fried green beans were an excellent compliment and had a bit of spice also. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the hospitality and advice from Tyler. Fun place to grab a tremendous meal in Center City Denver. It was a casual welcoming place with a sports bar western vibe. I highly recommend this place to locals and tourists alike. That's all she wrote! Great meal before catching King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at Red Rock! Cheers!

Rounded up to five stars - right next to The Paramount Theater. They accept and honor reservations, making it a perfect pre-show option. The cocktail list is creative and tasty. The comfort food plates are very good. The staff is attentive. The room has a high ceiling, limiting the noise from nearby tables. They add a 3.5% charge to staff to each check.

Meh. I would have loved to receive the food everyone in the reviews was talking about. Everything here was subpar at best. I was super excited to dry the French onion lamb sliders. They were dry- there was no peppercorn aioli that I could see or taste, and lacked any seasoning or flavor whatsoever. My husband and I ordered the peach lemonade fishbowl and that was just okay. It mainly tasted like juice and for $25 there could have been a tad more alcohol. I ordered the salmon as my entree and I wholeheartedly regret it. I'm not really sure who decided those items go well together but the salmon had no flavor and the sweet potatoes were decent but paired with the cucumber orange relish and citrus beurre blanc, it's hard to tell what the goal was in terms of flavor with that one. There were so many flavors that unfortunately just did not pair well together. I only stopped here because we were driving across country and saw it had nice reviews. But eek, if I ever am in Denver again- I will skip.

Our 1st time in Denver, we just needed a lunch before heading to Vail for Ski. Nothing special, everything was very average. Even 2 beers didnt make me tipsy! We were hoping to have bison burger but they only had beef! More like a bar food, not a real restaurant. The other thing that caught my eye was sitting outside makes you to see a lot of homeless walking around. Also watch out for steak cook level, if you want medium, order raw!

Went with a group of six b/c it was within walking distances of our hotels and convention center. Our waitress was great! We ordered everything from the chicken pot pie to the pulled pork and the steak frites and salmon. I think everyone else liked their meals. The steak frites was kind of tough and the frites weren't amazing. Just OK. The desserts however were amazing! See that carrot cake photo. And the cheese cake egg rolls tasted just like the state fair in the best possible way!!!! (The dessert elevated this review to four stars.) Downside: I didn't even look at the wine list. I just ordered a Chardonnay. There were apparently two options and I asked the waitress which was her favorite and ordered that one. While it was great wine, I didn't realize it was $18 a glass until my bill came. Busted my per diem again!

West has a great setup. It is large has two levels, a big bar, and on the night we were there had an awesome dueling piano show that kept us there the entire night. Our server was great and told us what the most popular dishes were as well as his personal recommendations which was nice. The food itself was a bit bland. We had a short rib stroganoff dish as well as the skillet pot pie. Both were okay but lacked any punch of flavor in my opinion. The only other downside is the location. It is located at 16th street mall so parking anywhere close is an absolute nightmare and even getting a ride was a bit of a hassle with everything torn up down there. You also have to bypass all of the transient people that live on the street there which is no fun.

This location was recommended to us while we were in town for a trade show last month, and we enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second time when trying to meet up with a group of co-workers later in the week. The beer list was filled with local brews, perfect for my "Drink Colorado Beer" travel goal and my teammates all raved about the strength of their cocktails. The food was delicious - warm, comforting, and flavorful. We shared starters both visits and my favorites were the Kitchen Garden Fritto Misto (lightly breaded cauliflower, Brussels & green beans, tossed in a spicy seasoning with a delightful dill ranch for dipping) and the Sidewinder Fries - both the BBQ and Green Chile versions were *chefs kiss* paired with cold brews after long days of working from the road. For my main, I ended up ordering the same burger both visits because I was so impressed with it the first time I had it. And thinking back on it now (while I try to keep drool from my keyboard) I would totally order it again on my next visit, too! The angus beef patty was served on a perfectly soft bun and topped with tomato marmalade, arugula, goat cheese, and bacon - burger perfection!

Michelle was our server and was so friendly, accommodating and made our first time at West Saloon and Kitchen the best! She even gave us some touristy suggestions! The food was also excellent, we were starving and so it really hit the spot. Campfire wings (yum), and we got the burrata and fruit spinach salads with added grilled chicken, delish! The vibe is chill and laidback, but still classy. They also have a full bar, and only drawback is street parking seems difficult. Definitely still a good place!

You will find this spot just off of the 16th Street Mall. This is a nice place to get something to drink and eat. The saloon has a decent sized dining area, a full bar with seating , and some patio seating that wraps around the outside of the joint. There is metered street parking and commercial garages/lots within a reasonable walking distance. They have televisions placed around the bar and dining area. It would be a decent place to watch a game. They also have a full service bar with some savory signature cocktails. The staff there was friendly enough and the bar tender was very attentive and welcoming. They have a menu with typical pub food that includes salmon, salads, burgers, chili, meatloaf, pasta, steak and barbecue. I ordered the chicken pot pie. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food. It was hot and fresh. The pot pie was very tasty and flavorful. I highly recommend it. This is a neat little spot that has some tasty food and savory drinks. I enjoyed my meal here and recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

Very good here! We had a super good server, a varied menu to choose from that offers breakfast all day, and cute and chill surroundings that are informal and fun! Stopped in on a Saturday and got seated right away. Of course she puts us by the kitchen doors. WHY??? When there are a ton of other tables in the same section and in others. So rude like what about me makes you think oh let's seat them by the door to whiff every plate, clean or used, that goes in and out of the kitchen? No freakin thanks. So I asked for a new table and the girl (sorry I can't call her a woman - she was young and had a snotty attitude to match) acted so surprised and a bit put out by it. About to pull a NYC attitude and say to her "that's ok we'll go somewhere else if you can't seat us at any of the over 10 empty tables nearby." She then gave in and gave us the second worst table in the section but fine fk it. One star off for her and trying to give me the worst seat in the house! I have a feeling why - just google denver chinatown if interested in reading about the terrible incident on 10/31/1880 that involved an angry white mob and the killing of the majority of Chinese in Denver. Descendants of hate crimes against asians? Could be. These are the things that went through my head when that girl sat us. Bloody mary was great! Spicy but not overly so. I got breakfast and the eggs over medium were done well and the Texas toast was yum. I swapped fruit for potatoes and the fruit cup was spectacular! Wife got wedge salad and that looked good enough to try next time! Solid drinks and good food with something for everyone. Highly recommend!

We were so happy with everything here! We made a reservation the day of and our table was ready with a cute little fake candle waiting for us. We shared the wagon wedge salad, campfire wings, and Mac and cheese. The drinks were great too (dirty martini and old fashioned). Our server was very nice too! We highly recommend and will come back!

So I think I'm unofficially searching for the best Gluten-free burger when I travel. That's going to be my new thing starting . . . now! When I travel for business or pleasure I typically eat at least one burger during the trip because it's usually the easiest gluten free meal I can find anywhere I go (I loathe paying for salads!). I've eaten my fair share of burgers, let me tell you. Some of them live in my memory as the best darn thing I've ever had, and so I'm going to start keeping track of them through my Yelp reviews until I log enough of them to determine the Ultimate Best Darn Gluten-free Burger I've Ever Had. Last night's burger from West Saloon and Kitchen in Denver was one of those epiphany moments where, after the first bite, in my head, I was like, "Holy Sh*t! This is fricken delicious!" and the epiphany moment was, "I gotta start keeping track of burger moments like these". So, what was this burger that I ate that caused this epiphany? The Trail Boss Burger at West Saloon and Kitchen in Denver, located on the 16th Street Mall. I walked in on a Monday night. Not a lot was happening but there were several tables seated. A few big screen TVs flank the walls of this generous space. There is a mix of copper, wood and stone tables spread throughout with some funky artwork. Not sure if the purple lighting and rock music is a regular vibe but I got into it and the music wasn't ear-splitting loud so that was fine. My server was very prompt at the table with my drink order - a wonderful menu of craft cocktails will suit every taste. All the major liquors are represented. I settled on Queens Lavendar, a gin-based drink that was very pretty and super delicious with fresh lemon juice and a couple of other things. It was expertly mixed and after my long day of travel from CA to CO one was enough to settle my mind. What originally drew me to this restaurant were reviews of the gluten free fish and chips, which is what I had intended on ordering so that I can save the burger meal for another night seeing as I'll be in Denver for three nights - that's a lot of restaurant and menu research for me to find a 'safe' place to eat. But then I saw the picture of the Trail Boss Burger, asked about the GF bun and was told "it's the best gluten free bun you'll ever try" so I ordered it and gambled on the bun. I usually just get a lettuce wrap because most GF buns I've tried are pretty dry, grainy, tasteless and don't hold it's shape; I tend to finish the burger without the bun. Well my friends, I do think this is one of the best GF buns I've had. The Trail Boss comes with an angus beef patty, tomato marmalade, argula, goat cheese and crispy bacon, along with a side of wide spiral-cut potato fries. When I was served I had to confirm with the server it was indeed a gluten free bun because it just looked too good, if you know what I mean. I was immediately suspicious that something had gone wrong in the kitchen and I got someone else's order, but the server assured me the meal was prepared with a gluten-free note and the kitchen keeps track of such things knowing how important food allergies are. Their menu is very well distinguished with those items that are gluten free, vegan, or has nuts, or can be prepared without gluten. So, trusting that everything was GF I took that first bite and now here we are. The bun was soft, the bacon crispy, meat had a charred flavor, the tomato marmalade was sweet-and-vinegary which was a perfect accompanyment to the goat cheese, the argula was fresh. I got all that in my first bite. I think I moaned a little bit. I had to sit there for a minute after that first bite and just stare at the plate. I might have been freaking out the table next to me but I was in a head space that just didn't care. I really wanted to take my plate to some dark corner of the room and just be alone with it. Thoughts of burgers from my past crowded in - "is this better than the keto burger I used to get at Bel Campo in Oakland? what about that awesome burger I had at Fig in L.A.?" and so on, which lead to the epiphany. Now, let me talk about the wide spiral cut fries - thin on one end, thick at the other, perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. I never had this shape of fried potato before - very interesting look and made a nice impression. I was only able to eat a few because I wanted to be able to finish the burger and since I'm used to lettuce wraps adding a bun really fills me up. So unfortunately I had to sacrifice the tasty fries which I boxed up and gave to a street person on my walk back to the hotel. Really good, attentive service, awesome cocktail and one of the best gluten free burgers I've ever eaten. If I can manage another meal at this place before I leave Denver I'll try the fish and chips and leave another review. Otherwise, I'm definitely adding West Saloon and Kitchen to my list of places to revisit on another trip. Love you West Saloon - bye!

Service was kind, but I feel like could have been more helpful with items to order. The place still had some of the charm from the previous restaurant, but touched with hipster vibes. We ordered artichoke dip that it was an additional dollar to add spinach. I ordered the chicken pot pie, the crust was not flakey, the texture seemed very much premade and reheated. My friend got a half rack of ribs that were the worst he had ever had in his life and on the menu it didn't say that the banana pudding only came with the full rack. Which was surprising when it didn't come out. Definitely a let down from the place that was originally here.

Visited on a whim based on yelp reviews. It's a nice clean vibe in here and the beef stroganoff was wonderful. Sadly I ate it before I realized I should have taken a photo. Our server, Michelle, was friendly and we enjoyed her. We live in Nashville and this felt like visiting one of the downtown restaurants without all of the extremely drunk and obnoxious people.

A great place for drinks, lunch, dinner and brunch! Their service was exceptional. Jade was attentive and friendly. She made us visitors feel welcomed. Restaurant has a western type vibe. Noise level is average . A nod to Denvers's old western roots with country music and decor. The food was fantastic. I wish we had more time and bigger stomachs. We ordered brunch. I had croque madame. A ham and cheese sandwich under a béchamel cheese sauce with a over east egg on top. My husband had a green chili chicken fried chicken which was was served with an over east egg on top. Both meals were delicious. We ordered their crispy pork rinds that were still crackling when served!! I also ordered a snowkiss cocktail. It was DEVINE! Worth a return visit

Good food, great service, and perfect location downtown on the way to a show. Get yourself a whiskey enjoy the evening!

First stop in Denver, CO and we were welcomed with such warmth. We split the elk meatball linguine (should have made it my meal) and I had the beef stroganoff. Everything here was well prepared and our waitress was very kind. Neither of us could finish our meals so they made excellent leftovers. There is some street parking around the area and you'll see a bunch of random parking lots with various prices. Look around for one that makes sense for the length you need.
