“Friendly staff with great beer and seltzer choices. Plenty to do to keep the whole family entertained; arcade, outdoor patio seating, pizza truck and rotating food trucks.”
“Amazing service and amazing food. plus the desserts are phenomenal.”
“The food is well done and delicious! We had exceptional waiting service from Ervin! He was very professional, polite, helpful, and attentive. We will definitely be coming back soon!”
“Staff was friendly and courteous. They noticed our toddler son was wearing his Spider-Man outfit and changed the show on the TV to Spider-Man. ? The tortillas are authentic. Hard to find in the restaurant business anymore. Can't say enough good things about this place.”
“This spot is literally a hidden gem.
This place is it. Literally a hole-in-the-wall food truck hidden away in Brighton, and honestly one of the best pupusa spots I’ve ever had. The pupusas are fire—perfectly crisp on the outside, melty and flavorful on the inside. But what took it to the next level was the curtido and salsa. The curtido was fresh, tangy, and just the right amount of crunch. And the salsa? So damn good I could drink it. Not watery, not too spicy—just packed with real flavor.
If you’re even thinking about trying it, do it. It’s that kind of place you want to gatekeep but can’t because everyone deserves this kind of food.”

“Mulberries is amazing!! My daughter had her 18th on Saturday and I was informed the day before that the individual who was going to buy her cake couldn’t. I called Mulberries they worked their magic like always and made an even more amazing cake for my daughter!!! Their bakers and decorators are very talented and top tier. If it wasn’t for them the day would have been a total disaster.”

“Took the family for a quick dinner and one of the happy meals hamburger was made wrong. The owner or store manager overhear us talking and without even going to the counter came to us and asked what was wrong. She immediately had a new hamburger made and delivered it to us. On our way out we thanked her again and told her we had brought our son in for his birthday meal. She told us to wait so she could get him something and came back with a bag of cookies. What great customer service! We will be sure to return to this McDonald's. Thank you for taking care of us!”
“Good food, crispy fries, large portions. Prices good for what you get. Will go again”

Remember it's cash only.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I recently stopped at this location for lunch as I had a business meeting nearby. They got me quickly situated and on my way. The food was amazing! I have since brought back my wife and daughter. We have probably eaten here 4 or 5 times in the last month. Love it!”
“Jordinelli's on main Street Brighton is the place to go in Brighton If your looking for a great bar, and service. This is the place.
The food is more than bar food.
The wings, green chili are what you would expect. Thick juicy wings. Meaty green chili that is as expected. Spicy and full of pork, and flavor. The onion rings are served hot and fresh..
But make sure you ask for dipping sauce.”
“The Sandbox has a great atmosphere with friendly and fun people! Cheap drinks, good food with a large menu, and pool tables- doesn’t get much better than that!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Was told about this place through a co-worker and decided to give it a try. I made the right call! The food is amazing and at a great price as well. The owner and the cashier both have great attitudes. They sell jerky, which is amazing by the way. My new lunch place for sure. You Have to give it a try.”
“A group of us, here for a week-long work trip, chose Spicy Tacos at the recommendation of some local Brighton Police Officers who said it was fantastic. And they were right. The service was friendly and swift. The food was served quickly, perfectly cooked and tasted great! Thanks for the friendly service and great experience, Spicy Taco!”
“The Melissa lady that works here is so absolutely kind and so sweet. I was having a terrible morning and she made my morning by just being so warm and thoughtful as to how I wanted my coffe made. Her smile lifted my spirits and I wish I could’ve tipped her so much more but I’m kindve broke rn but I wish more ppl were like her. The whole location is beautiful and they really know what they’re doing here.”
“The location is off the beaten path, but it's a worth while effort to make the trek.
James was our server, and he was very hospitable, suggesting an option which SAVED our party some $$$. And he was on it, clearing dishes as quickly as he brought them.
The Pu Pu Platter was just fun, as you get to grill your steak skewers over fire.
I will say, the portion sizes are immense! I don't know how you do it, Heaven Dragon, but keep on rocking in a free world”
“We met some friends for dinner outside at Simply pizza at the Run Westy Run Food Truck Park. It’s awesome pizza! We ordered four different pizzas and they were all delicious. The kids ran around and played the outdoor games while while we listened to music and enjoyed our pizza. It was awesome! Highly recommend, but kinda want it to stay a hidden gem.”
“Ordered the quesatacos and chicken quesadilla. Well worth the price but with both it was 31$.
They have covering for if you would like to eat there and good music playing for vibes. Definitely on my recommendation list and will return.
The ladies taking orders were very helpful and helped me order the right thing (i ordered harina pero queria maiz). Great spot in brighton and parking is available.”
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Brighton Dairy Queen for making my son an amazing cake!!! The whole process was fantastic from the ordering to the pick-up. The cake was so perfect!!! It was decorated just perfectly for his personality. It was super tasty!!!”
Cheap Eats
“This is a local Colorado favorite! I drove thru and grabbed breakfast for me and friends! EVERYONE enjoyed the food from Santiago's! Their tortillas are definitely homemade! Their breakfast burritos were cheap, and the best in Brighton, Colorado! I give this establishment a 10 out of 10 people!! VISIT your local Santiago's whenever you get chance! Try the smothered green chili burrito!”
“I stopped in to get myself a quick snack and to get a pup cup for my dog. They they weren’t very busy at the time so it was nice to be able to drive right up to the window. However, when I got my tater tots, they were so greasy I couldn’t eat them. It made my stomach sick immediately, even after just one. So I circled back around through the drive-through and told them that weren’t acceptable. They couldn’t have been nicer. The young man who was working was so pleasant and so professional and told me he was sorry that they didn’t taste well. He offered me an alternative and then told me that they would just exchange it for what I purchased and no extra charge. The hamburger was delicious and I walked away satisfied. I haven’t had this as good as Customer Service at a fast food restaurant for a long time. I will definitely be back and I appreciate not being ostracized for coming back around. Thank you for your kindness to my puppy as well.”
“I haven't stepped inside this place little over 3 years ago. Back then, it wasn't great, dirty, rude staff, and messed up food. Not hard to make a burger that you're trained to make.
I have used the mobile app a few times, and people I know avoided the place as well.
Alas, hearing a staff change and a remodel, I stopped by.
Food better, service is better, it's clean. Value for the buck is ever so balance, and of course decided by each person paying with their hard earned cash. Frosty is a bit expensive for my senses, can be cheaper. That the only drawback I can say.
But it seems it changed and people may want to check it out themselves.”
“Was not having a great day, ordered 4 drinks for my kids and I, my daughter promptly spilled all of them getting in the car. The manager and team were so kind, they offered to help with the mess and remade my drinks free of charge immediately to get me on my way. I could not be more thankful. That was a lot of money and of course it was on the way to school so I didn’t have much time. They were absolutely amazing and made the situation a little less stressful for my poor daughter!!!”
“Swung by this Wendy’s after runnin around town and it did the job. Burger come out hot, fries was fresh enough, and my drink was cold, so I walked out with a full belly. Staff was decent and the place looked alright, not spotless but fine for a quick bite. Nothin fancy, just simple fast food that hits the spot when you’re hungry and in a hurry”
“This Applebee's location was amazing. Was not too busy, but is was busy. My waitress came by about six times to check on me and the manger stop by as well to make sure everything was good. Top notch service. The food was also very good, and very reasonably priced. My experience here beats many 5 start restaurant. Plus they had many happy hour deals and appetizer at great prices. Dollar for dollar, I will eat here more often than other more expensive restaurants or fast food. My meal was just a little higher than a number 1 at MC donalds.”

“We went in on Sunday for the all y can eat pizza and I can say we are impressed. The crab cheese wonton pizza is to die for sound weird but it’s amazing. Staff was super friendly in explaining the pizza to us we will be returning”

“Hadn't been to a village inn for years! But found this one on my vacation to Colorado? The waitress was having a very bad day, she couldn't get anything right! We got somebody else's order or something! Mark, the manager came out to fix it! He took care of everything! Us and his employee by giving her a little extra longe break! Whatever he did, he did it in private! I hate to see someone reprimanded in front of people? Going to hit this place again on my way back! Thanks Mark You're doing a GREAT job!”

“No toothpicks!? I got chicken stuck in my teeth from my wings and there were no toothpicks available. This is the only restaurant in town that doesn't have toothpicks. Second the menus are covered in dried up sauce. They need to be wiped off. Finally the seats are worn out and cracked. Food tastes good.”
“Friendly staff always. Kept on hold while they helped the long line of people. Then got to restaurant to pickup order and line was out the door. Maybe time for a bigger space. Looks like you have out grown this space n parking lot. Need overflow parking on Sundays. But great food never disappointed.”

“Mateo is such a nice young man. He made sure my order was correct and when it wasn’t he brought me the correct order, smiled, and asked me to take my time and look through the bag. That is so rare at McDonalds in 2025. If Mateo isn’t a manager he should be! Such a nice employee.”

“Friendly staff, quick and bloody excellent! Tried 3 different tacos, steak fajita, texicana, and the rusty taco. All fire. Makes me sad that we dont have them in Canada. It made my trip to Denver complete on the way out of town! Met the owner as well. Super friendly and informative gentleman 👏 especially being a rough neck looking Punk rock trucker they treated me very respectfully! Thank you. I'll be back for sure your next run!!”
“We enjoyed our meal here! The food was great! The atmosphere was fun and the staff was so friendly!”
