Located across Commons Park from the bustle of LoDo, this little shop provides well-crafted, savory sandwiches and satisfying soups.

Address: 2004 E 28th Ave, Denver, CO 80205
Plan ahead and ask for a doggie bag as soon as you enter, because you're certain to get more food than you can handle. From brisket to chicken to pork, you're sure to find a plate to please. The cafe also serves a mean fried catfish platter and must-have peach cobbler, so sweet and gooey you'll think it came straight from a Southern kitchen. Sweet...

Address: 7105 E Hampden Ave, Denver, CO 80237
This deli transports a slice of the Big Apple to Denver, and regulars applaud the variety of fresh, delicious deli foods.

Friendly service is a plus,...
The Briarwood Inn
Address: 1630 8th St, Golden, CO 80401
Quintessentially American, this Golden treasure recollects a bygone age with antique furnishings and gentrified decor. In fact, the country club setting seems to have leapt right from the pages of a Gilded Age novel. Traditional fare earns nods thanks to house specialties like lobster Thermidor, veal Oscar, and prime rib; locals also laud the...
Virgilio's Pizzeria Napoletana
Address: 7986 W Alameda Ave, Lakewood, CO 80226
Got the midday munchies? Head to this casual pizzeria for a scrumptious, brick oven-baked slice or two. Bring friends and split a delectable pie, or opt for an 8" individual size. With varieties like the Portofino (spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives) and the Mezzo Mezzo (half red sauce, half white sauce), it's hard to go wrong. Daily...
WaterCourse
Address: 206 E 13th Ave, Denver, CO 80203
Probably better known for its fantastic breakfasts, WaterCourse also serves delicious, filling lunches. The high-ceilinged, pleasant room quickly becomes noisy as the lively noontime crowd files in, so be prepared to wait unless you're willing to grab a chair at the community table. The place serves vegetarian food done right, neither aspiring to...
Yorkshire Fish & Chips
Address: 7275 Pecos St, Denver, CO 80221
A self-service lunch stop, Yorkshire boasts some of the best fish and chips this side of the Atlantic – or in Denver, at least. Fresh filets (fried to perfection) can be had at rock bottom prices, along with chips done UK-style. Don't forget to sprinkle them with vinegar to add extra zing! The simple decor directs focus to the tasty seafood and...
Ahhh, I am so glad you put Water Course in there! I love reading your reviews but you do not often give many options for vegetarians :-) Also, Virgilio's is one of the only reasons I go out to the suburbs! They have the BEST white pizza I have ever had. Period.
