10. Cheddar's
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Theresa B
In today's market for restaurants, Cheddar's isn't overpriced and yet somehow it still feels overpriced. Perhaps it is because the food isn't anything special. That being said, I wouldn't say that my experience was bad, just perhaps not worth the price tag. The food is typical American fare with a slightly fancier presentation. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a Red Lobster (i.e. somewhere between upscale and commercial cookie cutter), including the noise level that can't quite be concealed.The prices similarly match the cost structure of a Red Lobster (i.e. somewhere between casual and fine dining). The cleanliness was good and the staff were good too. Overall, a fine option, but nothing to go out of your way for.

BAD is GOOD. Like when something is so outrageous you can't help but love it. That's the inspiration at Bad Daddy's. Here, the humble burger is given super star status. With premium All-Natural Angus Beef, sizzled up hot on our grill, and surrounded with

We were seated outside on a busy Friday night. Our server was overwhelmed, clearly he had been given too many tables as he was working his tail off to keep up with everyone, meanwhile drinks went dry at many of his tables (ours included) while he was playing leapfrog between all the tables he was given. He was so energetic and enthusiastic, never complained and he even acknowledged and apologized for the waits. He was given a huge table of maybe (10) midway through our visit, on top of the outdoor patio. The pizza came out (18â veggy) and it was a NY-style crust, done darn well for a Midwest restaurant. The beer menu here is huge, although we arenât big beer drinkers. The churro dessert was awesome, glad we left room and didnât try to finish the whole pizza. Weâd be back .... maybe .... if we knew weâd have consistent service from servers who werenât overtasked.

Glad I was solo because I was able to get right in at the bar. But many families were waiting inside and out, probably about 80 - 100 people! Too bad this place isn't bigger. Anyway, bar staff was great, I had a 10oz Ribeye which was great, even the baked potato was very good. No complaints but between the music and everyone trying to talk over the music it is quite loud.

We have had breakfast here several times and have never been disappointed. Wait times can sometimes be a little long at popular times because they have been discovered by the locals. The portions are big enough to share or take some home.

Early Bird has one of the best weekend brunches around! It is just so hard to decide what to order each time.On this most recent visit, we started with vanilla lattes and cappuccinos and they were delicious. The pancakes, eggs, biscuits, huevos rancheros, breakfast potatoes, and sausages were all tasty and plentiful. I don't believe there is anything bad on this menu.You get great service, delicious food, and huge portions when dining here. I will be back!

My wife and I at Saltgrass regularly and bring guest occasionally. I am a member of their Select Club, a no cost membership which gives perks. Saltgrass is primarily a steakhouse. It reminds me of the independent steakhouse throughout the Western US.The food is usually what one would expect as far as quality of ingredients and preparation.One item of contention is with their Texas cheese steak sandwich, which my wife and I enjoy. A few months back they started serving it on a metal tray with a paper liner. The presentation looked cheap and since this is a fork and knife meal, one ends up with much shredded paper, ewe. Last time we ordered this meal we asked if it could be served on a normal plate without the liner. The server accommodated our request without a flinch.The service is usually prompt and always polite.The price is what you would expect from a steakhouse. This isnât a discount dining experience, but is in line with most.I like the atmosphere. It is clean and cozy. Some people might be put off by the trophy heads on the wall or the country music.As I said earlier this is a local favorite of ours.

Decided to try the new restaurant that went into the old Egg n I. Same great service but they really expanded their menu and I am guessing they got some new chefs because the food was very, very good.Thank you for your review. We rebranded, remodeled and reopened as MORNING STORY. We are the same owners as Egg & I. Yes, we have expanded our menu and added some specialty drinks, such as Mimosas and Bloody Marys! We want to be the best breakfast spot in Colorado. Hope to see you again soon!
