Juicy Lucy's Steakhouse

Reviewed By DerAlteBach

The day started really badly: torrential rain on the Interstate, a flat tire. Then we walked into Juicy Lucy's and everything changed for the better.The food was superlative: starters, mains, desserts. The service was exceptionally good, with a troop of well-trained, knowledgeable staff dancing attendance on us.This was one of the best meals I've enjoyed for a long, long time. I strongly recommend Juicy Lucy's Steakhouse with no reservations.

Smoke Modern Barbeque - Glenwood

Reviewed By Ellie352

We enjoyed a great evening at the bar with Erin as our bartender/server. (She’s wonderful). Made great drinks (vodka tonic and Johnny walker black on the rocks). We shared the beef brisket plate with creamed spinach and slaw and ordered the Burnt end Mac and cheese as well-it was all great. The brisket melted in your mouth and the sides were very good - the Mac and cheese was excellent especially the crusty topping. We will revisit and recommend you give it a go. Great place-great times....full bellies!!!!Carpe Diem!!!

The beer is very good. When you walk in, the various awards the brewery has won at the Great American Beer Festival over the years adorn the walls. We generally drink IPAs, so we tried both the year-round IPA and the seasonal, both exceptional. Great vibe, indoor/outdoor seating (weather permitting). Vibrant atmosphere with great energy.Service was attentive, and very welcoming.I am mostly vegan (but do eat vegetarian depending on what's offered). They had a reuben with a menu choice of tempeh (you can omit the cheese). Delicious. SO good. If you were ever tempted to try a vegan menu item, this is a great choice. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas and onion rings. Highly recommend.Great location. I was picking up my husband at the train station, which is directly across the street. Located downtown, and walking distance to a number of things. We love local breweries and brewpubs. This one had everything we look for...great service, food, beer, and the bonus was the great views.

The Pullman

Reviewed By Rob D

Was in Glenwood Springs for a quick work trip. Had eaten at The Pullman before, so went back this time. Easy for a solo diner to grab a seat at the bar for dinner or lunch service. Friendly staff, an outstanding selection of wines by the glass, including the rose of Cab Franc that I enjoyed. This place prides itself on it swine, which showed in the crispy pork belly app, but my entree of roasted (!) trout was also very good. Went back the next day for lunch, enjoying the arugula, roasted beet and goat cheese salad. Sitting at the bar, you get to see how the staff interacts. I was happy to see the manager doing side work, rolling silverware set ups, and laughed when a couple of servers said it was the first time ever. Probably not ...Rob D,We win and loose as a team. Thank you for spending so much of your visit with us.dine with delight,rickthe pullman

Daily Bread Restaurant

Reviewed By skormama

This was a great breakfast with fresh baked breads used for toast, homemade jams, and very large omelettes where they were flexible with changes. So while it's a coffee shop of sorts, no special coffees like cappuccino or latte...only regular coffee. Would like to see that change.

I'd go when it isn't too busy though they try to move the line quickly. There's a variety of beverages - on tap kombucha, mimosas, coffee, and specialty tea and coffee drinks. Employees are friendly and hard working. The donuts are good and there's a large variety. They have outdoor seating.

Slope & Hatch

Reviewed By smantz0rZ

Went here on the recommendation of a local, and didn't regret it. The fish tacos were absolutely out of this world. Nearly every time my friend and I talk they say to me "I want those fish tacos we had in Colorado!" and I can't argue that. We went without knowing that this was ranked as the best taco in CO, and we surely can't disagree with that!

Reviewed By Susan S

Good service, enormous portions (really far, far too much), and everything is a la carte, so if you order stroganoff, you get a heaping bowl of pasta drowned in sauce, no veg, no nuthin' to cut the richness. Enormous heaps of fries with the bbq sandwich; not much that's fresh. Was assured by my friends that the cocktails were very well made and delicious; the food was fine, but nothing to rave about. Comfortable space but, as ever, toooo loud, especially when the live music started - it's not a huge room, so no amplifiers required, though of course they had them hooked up. Drove us out sooner than we would have...Hi Susan! Thank you for your feedback. I did want to clarify a couple of things. While some items are served a la carte, most are not. We provide a menu so our guests can read what comes along with our dishes. Also, we don't have amplifiers so we weren't able to hook them up. As for not much being fresh, the bbq sandwich you enjoyed has house braised pork shoulder, house made bbq sauce, house made slaw with house made dressing served with house cut, blanched and fried potatoes. I do apologize that the experience wasn't what you were looking for.
