The food was good. But the table is just really dirty. It’s actually sticky to the touch as if it’s not being clean for days. So we have to wipe down the entire table with her own alcohol wipes. If you’re okay with that, they do have pretty good barbecue, which we got. And we’ll quite happy with the food.

Had a pork loin sandwich. The sandwich was tasty but it is not something I would order again. For some reason I thought I was ordering pulled pork. I chose the potato salad. It was too heavy on the spice side for me. Not spicy hot, just very heavy with spices. I did like the chunky potatoes, onion, and other items. Just wish it was lighter on spice and salt.

Jasmine was very friendly and a great waitress. The food was delicious. I had the fried chicken sandwich and macaroni and cheese. It’s priced like normal expensive airport food in the way that it’s probably 2-4 above what I would prefer to pay for the meal- but great stop and if you had to choose an airport meal this would be a good place.

We stopped here on a whim for a quick meal. Excellent service and very cool seating area. Our waiter was excellent! We ordered fish and chips and overall were happy with the meal. Their iced tea is very tasty

Avoid this place. I ordered the BBQ ribs. The meat was pretty good, moist, fell off the bone. Only a little bit of sauce was poured on top of ribs after they were cooked. Sauce and beans were below average. Cole slow barely edible. Overpriced for the amount and quality of food. You have several options for restaurants, don’t eat here.

Considering it’s an airport restaurant, the food is pretty good. I got The Standard pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese for my side. The sandwich was fresh and hot, with tasty pulled pork and a great BBQ sauce. I’ve had more than my share of semi-dry pulled pork and am happy to report this wasn’t one of those, with plenty of moisture. The sandwich was a decent size, filling me up pretty well.

This place used to be great. They made cherry infused bourbon, bloody Mary’s from scratch and the food was from scratch, even the potatoes. And there were more vegetarian options. It’s what made Denver airport an awesome layover. I think they changed management or just became greedy with profits. Now everything is stuff you can make anywhere and not worth paying the $ for what you get. Service is good though. The 9 oz pour of wine was great for a long haul flight though.

I stopped by on a layover late in the day. They limit the menu after the dinner rush and have limited options after sundown. The ribs appetizer was dry but still had some good flavor. Nice they have handwashing stations after public transportation. One bartender was very friendly while the other completely ignored me.
