“Went in the other night and had the most awesome and attentive server heavens. She was so nice and helpful to me and my wife. Food was good too. Definitely going back because of her“

“An absolute gem of a place. Loved the food (spicy shrimp soup and bruschetta) and atmosphere. The outside patio seating was perfect for the setting sun. Glad we found it!“

“Place is amazing, great atmosphere and an even better experience. We were sat outside by a friendly staff, who promptly brought us water bowels for our two little friends accompanied by a “dog menu”. Food is amazing as well and was even offered a complimentary appetizer of waffle fry chips, which were fantastic of course. Couldn’t recommend more.“

“We came to black bear to have breakfast and Miss Brooklynn was our server and she was so attentive she made our day start out beautifully. Thank you Brooklynn. She earned her 5 stars for sure!!!“

“We love bubba's! We come all the time and tonight they had an off night and got our order wrong. When I called, they were so polite and took care of us! We love them even more now. They do great things for the community and the food and staff are amazing 🤩“

“best folding town. David N was an amazing server. A+“

“Absolutely amazing experience…a new favorite spot! Tyler, our server, was exceptional! He had great recommendations, timely service, and an enjoyable presence. Flip, the bartender, served up specialty cocktails and tailored the experience to the individual with his table side service. The food was incredible! From the appetizers to desserts, not one component fell short. Part of me will be sad to not have a guarantee of certain items when we return, but then I’m reminded that it will be another opportunity to adventure into a new mouthwatering adventure. I can’t rave enough. We will be back! Thank you Tyler, Flip, and the rest of the staff for a truly special night!“

“I am celiac GF and the staff is happy to treat me and my LARGE family well. Staff is well versed in gluten free and other allergy needs. One of the only places I can go with 5 kids and food allergies where the staff cares“

“My husband and I recently dined at Four in COS. Came from Virginia! We were so inspired after seeing Brother compete on Chopped, we knew we had to taste his food. The menu was creative. The food divine. The service outstanding. We licked our plates clean! Highly recommend 👌“

“Great breakfast, good service!“

“excellent scratch made food. Great service.“

“cute place with a nice patio, good service and great food.“

“Service was great. Server and other employees were friendly and polite. Food was average but bakery items were wonderful. Atmosphere was decent though as busier time came around dense seating created alot of back ground noise and conversations.“

“Delicious food. Fast, friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“Not what I was expecting for a top suggested restaurant. Music to load couldn't here each other talk. Not much of a menu selection. Staff was great. Atmosphere was nice. Had more of a club vibe with a menu.“

“Go to comfort food and a good old home cooking type restaurant for years. The quality is still there and portions are still there. The price, like everywhere has gone up and the corn bread isn't free anymore. Other than that, the quality, quantity and service are very good.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Neat place! My son enjoyed getting in the cockpit. You can eat in the plane or inside the restaurant. Food is actually decent compared to a lot of places with rave reviews in Springs! We were satisfied with the whole experience and will go back.“

“WOW!!! Another One Of Our "GO-TO" Restaurants This restaurant has become one of our "GO-TO" restaurants when we come to or go through Colorado Springs. It is very conveniently located in the newer area on the north end of Colorado Springs. The food is fabulous and the menu feature of 1/2 sandwich and soup is just right for a light meal. The Monte Cristo sandwich is done perfectly!!! The chicken tender salad is always a favorite of my wife. Marie was on duty that evening - Leadship On Duty!!! Marie came by our table several times and when I see the leadership working the crowd it speaks volumes for the entire operation. Kirsti took care of our table and she frequently came by to make sure the food and service met our satisfaction. WOW!!! A super nice evening with great food, great service, and attention to detail. Marie and Kirsti - you are the best!!!“

“This should be the hottest spot in Colorado Springs. The vibe was so cool and upscale while also being relaxed. The FOOD…OMGOSH. We’ve been a lot of places and this is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Seriously everything (service, drinks, apps, meal) was perfect. Thank you so much!!“

“It’s delicious! Best Philly I have had in years. Husband told me it was great but he didn’t tell me it was this awesome! Go try it out. You won’t be disappointed.“

“the fried pickles are amazing!“

“DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. I used Garden of the Gods Catering & Events for my wedding earlier this month and it was a disaster from the beginning. My trouble starts back in July when I tried to get ahold of someone to change my dinner time. It took over two months and me reaching out to general phone numbers and emails to get ahold of someone, mind you I had already paid in full so I couldn't back out or else I would have. Turns out the gal I was in contact with no longer works for the company. It came down to less than two weeks before my wedding day that I finally was able to get in touch with someone. When I hadn’t heard anything from the gal I had spoken to in the couple days prior over the phone, I emailed the general events@ email. I get an email after expressing my deep concern for my catering order in general saying “Hi, I emailed you yesterday. Did you not get it?”. Obviously if I’m reaching out, I didn’t receive anything, right? I thought we were good to go once I had a phone call and other email exchange with the gal that was taking over my day. I thought I would be able to brush communication mishap under the rug. Cut to dinner time on my wedding day. I realize it is far past the arrival time on my contract & dinner was supposed to be getting set up more than 30 mins ago. After frantically calling and sending an email, it took my father to go out & see if he could find the caterers down the road to learn that the truck has been stuck. I then get an email saying “I tried to email you”. How did that email go through but the first one didn’t? Then another email saying “I tried calling”. I had been at this lodge for 2 nights at this point had zero trouble with service or getting calls/texts/emails through. We also had two different caterers and a rental service come to the lodge also with zero service/communication difficulties. Because of this failure of communication, we ate dinner far later than planned, the food was cold & rolls hard as rocks. This also meant other parts of the wedding were pushed, causing my photographer to have to stay longer than the contract. I sent an email to the gals I had been in touch with and still have yet to get an email or phone call back.“

“We can't rave enough about this place. We come here every chance we get. We have had some long lines and wait times, but the snow balls are worth it. Employees are nice and do a great job. Well done guys, keep up the great work. Since the sno-balls are always made on the spot we never worry about them melting. They are only made when you are next in line.“

“Great food and hospitality“

“Great food and great people!“

“Curbside pickup works very well! Prompt and service oriented team!“

“My first visit! Wow! A friend and I enjoyed breakfast here this morning! Everything was amazing!! We had Eggs Benedict and East Coast Scramble. Food was hot, cooked perfectly, tasted great, and there was plenty of it! Service from Tia Lynn was excellent.“

“I love this restaurant. The food is delicious. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere comfy. I love looking at all the decore, trying to find all the owls stashed around the room. 🤘☺️💖✨️🎵🎂☕️“

“Wait time went by faster than quoted! Fad, friendly service. Coffee is the best I have had and refills were perfectly timed. Will definitely be dropping by to buy a bag to brew at home. All menu items were delicious and filling. I bought additional giant cinnamon rolls to share with absent family members. So GOOD!“

“We celebrated wedding anniversary #50, and #51 at Cowboy Star. Fantastic! Dinner is always incredible. Rebecca and Elena helped us in the best ways imaginable. We highly recommend.“

“We have been regulars at Quinn's since their opening day. Our favorite place in town, especially when the Celtic music is playing. The best bartenders in the universe work here and the manager (Meredith) is wonderful.“

“Amazing breakfast! Will definitely be back next time in town“

“This should be the hottest spot in Colorado Springs. The vibe was so cool and upscale while also being relaxed. The FOOD…OMGOSH. We’ve been a lot of places and this is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Seriously everything (service, drinks, apps, meal) was perfect. Thank you so much!!“

“Was very nice place, good food and friendly service“

“Love this place so much! I’m not usually a fan of chain restaurants but my favorite thing about this place is the fact that they source locally as much as they can. We have been here a few times now and every single time it has been great. The food and service are consistently good. Every server we have had was amazing. I used to work in restaurant industry for years so I notice the little things. I love to see multiple managers on the floor talking to customers, refilling drinks, running food. One server I have to point out is Jennifer, she’s never actually been our server but always remembers us, specifically my daughter who was having a meltdown one day and she offered to bring her a bowl of fruit. And we weren’t even in her section. Great service, thank you!“

“Great dinner, service, atmosphere great ! Except for a 5 ounces glass of Pinot noir Priced for a 6 ounces ….. Good customer !“

“Heya so I wondered in here and man the food is good ! The owner.. I think I talked to the owner / Chef . Very intense, big accent . No disrespect but I have a hearing problem and the place is loud ! Like no joke ! It’s expensive so I would assume their clients are a bit older, so loud heavy accent, Intense! the dude is obviously passionate, but man! Odd choice.. w the loud music and super intense presentation. again the food ! Crazy goood the soup to die for etc.

Maybe someone wants this presentation, but it was a bit much for us .“

“Absolutely loved our breakfast was outstanding. Jason our waiter rocked. We will be back.“

“We took our kids to the Cheyenne mountain zoo and chose to stay at the Marriott. No one told us the zoo was up hill both ways, but it was beautiful. After deciding we were too tired to go out we had dinner at Ascent. Our server Cameron was fantastic and very polite. We were surprised at the portions and the food was very good. Thank you again Cameron for a great experience. We'll definitely stay again.“

“Great staff and excellent food. I will definitely be back!!!“

“Just tried the quesabirria…. DELICIOUS OMGEEEEEZ AND it was a huge plate and I’m stuffed but I need more! So glad I found em on DoorDash“

“This place has figured out the perfect sandwich. Not joking. It is mouth watering every bite. The manager Joe is friendly and easy to talk to and explained the history of the place when I inquired. There's a reason for their growth. If you don't know, I promise you want to. Could go on and on about it. So glad I'm in the know now!!!

Just want to know when you're gonna get a shop in grand junction colorado? The next day I went and 8 at the 1 on 52nd and Wadsworth I think, and bye they were pretty much just as good. The place is killing it. And uh, I hate it because I gotta settle for Subway, Jimmy Jones or something and they're good, but they're not on the level of snarfs...!!!“

“We love Bad Daddy’s !!! Always get great service from our server Nikki! She’s the best! And food is always great!“

“Man Porkbutt BBq might be my new spot to eat super good“

“Great service and great food!! The food came out very quickly, and our server Catrina was fantastic, and was so sweet and accommodating to my daughter. We will be back again, probably gonna be our usual after church lunch spot ☺️“

“7/26/2023 Ate here for our last night in Colorado. Our waitress was great, bison queso was delicious, drinks were even better! Highly recommend the adult root beer along with the fish tacos. Super yummy!“

“My mom sister and I went into Guthries for some snacks and beverages. Nicole was our waitress, and we’ve never had a better restaurant experience. She was so fun and beautiful, and we can’t wait to go back!!!“

“What a great little spot. Great food, relaxed vibe. We have found our new spot to run off to. 10/10 recommend.“

“Cracker Barrel is a pretty decent place on the far north end of town. I had the Trout last time, really good, tender and tasty. Service was great, wait time very short.“
