“7-day a week Happy Hour from 4 pm to 6 pm -- Woo Hoo! Get there early as there are only around 10 seats at the bar but this Happy Hour is so outstanding you want to work your way through all the items -- how about a Margherita Pizza for $7! Or a Dry-Aged Cheeseburger Platter with Fries for $12! Or Truffle Fries as a great snack with a cocktail for $5! And on top of that last night (11-14-22) I had the best Prosciutto I've had in years as part of an Antipasti and if I'd gotten that alone it would have been just $5!!! The place is lovely and the staff are all very gracious and hospitable -- this Happy Hour gets my 5 stars!!!”

“We enjoyed our dinner at Jinya Ramen. The impossible rice bowl and spicy vegan ramen were both amazing! We loved how customizable the ramen was. They also have several other well labeled vegan options. My only complaint is that the music was pretty loud, and made it hard to have a conversation.”

“The Rotary Club of Fort Collins Breakfast wants to thank and recommend The Welsh Rabbit to the people of Fort Collins. In Jan 16th we had our yearly Old Town Progressive dinner where our members go to three locations together-appetizers then a main course then for coffee. Our event organizer members showed up to our first venue and saw a sign that said “closed due to furnace issues”. It was 16 degrees out and 47 members were set to arrive in 30 minutes. The organizers started asking stores if they could host us. The second store we asked was The Welsh Rabbit. They allowed us in and we were in for a treat. Their cheezes were amazing, the ambience so pleasant and many of our members lined up to purchase items. They saved our evening. This store is an example of the heart of Fort Collins! We thank them so very much for what they did for us. Give this business a try! If you need gourmet items, dine wines and delicious cheeses for any event then why he Welsh Rabbit is where you need to visit!”

“We stumbled upon The Corner Slice while walking around downtown Fort Collins, looking for something quick and easy that could work for our whole family—including our baby daughter—and it turned out to be the perfect spot.
Right off the bat, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which always sets the tone for a good experience. They had March Madness basketball on the TVs, which added a fun energy to the place, and their selection of sodas, beer, and wine was way better than I expected for a casual pizza joint.
I started off with a slice of cheese pizza and some garlic bread, and let me tell you—it was so good I had to get up and order another slice. You know a pizza place is doing something right when a single slice isn’t enough and you find yourself going back for more. The crust, the sauce, the cheese—everything was just spot on.
The whole vibe of the place was relaxed and welcoming, super family-friendly, and just the kind of spot you want in a neighborhood like this. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, hanging with friends, or bringing your kids along, it’s got everything you need.
We had such a wonderful time, and I’m honestly already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and want great pizza with great people in a great location. This one’s a gem.
Parking: You have to find street parking, but like any place in downtown Fort Collins it’s hit or miss. There are some paid parking, garages, walking distance, though!
Kid-friendliness: Family, friendly, they had high chairs, and catered to lots of kiddos while I was there.”

Bar • $$
“It's a 😎 joint. The bartender was rushing us, and when you have a hundred beers, you need some time. I ordered my mac and cheese with no hatch chilies. He said they could make that happen. It didn't happen. The chilies were cooked in it. However, I asked for a hot dog cut up and mixed with the M&C, and they did that. Hubby loved his Ruben and fries. They use rice oil to fry foods. Hubby can't have soy oil; he was super happy about that”

“We have been looking for a new 'go-to' place in Ft Collins, and this is it! We out regularly, and this was the best meal we have had out in a long time. The salad and soup were herby nutty, and well balanced, and the Prime Ribeye was perfect. Even the fingerling potatoes had a charred-grilled twist that we hadn't experienced before, and loved it. The wait and cook staff were the best! We look forward to coming back soon.”

“This is an amazing restaurant! The food and all the ingredients are fresh and bursting with flavors. We got different soups and salads and kids meals. Service here is par excellence. We had Miss Hailey as our server and she was excellent. We were seated immediately around 4:15pm for dinner. The atmosphere of the entire restaurant is like a rustic cabin but super clean and with superior style. The music they play in here is not too loud and a nice mix / playlist. The food, again, is phenomenal and ain’t cheap but you get more than what you pay for! Very friendly staff, excellent food, inviting atmosphere…We are completely satisfied and we shall return, Deo Volente!”

Steak House • $$
“We come here all the time, this will be the last time. I called at 12, party of 11 people, I was told to call back at 3 for a reservation at 4pm and talk to a manager. The manager told me they don't do call ahead on weekends and they also will not move tables together so my son's birthday party will need to sit at separate tables. Once we arrived they sat 4 separate parties that came after us. They then told us they would not seat us until more staff comes in, for 11 people. They went to seat us at 2 separate tables after waiting for 20 minutes. We then requested the big table in the back that sat all of us comfortably, and we are not small people. This was a joke. 2 of the steaks were inedible they had so much seasoning on them and my plate was drenched in oil. Horrible experience and manager. also there was a 10 month old puppy at the table next to us, sitting in the bench and barking. seriously disappointed. we have eaten here for years and sadly will not be back, we will drive to the one in Thornton”

“We had a fantastic time at Penrose Taphouse for New Year's Eve with our two kids (8 and 5). The atmosphere was perfect-relaxed and just the right vibe for a chill, close-to-home celebration. I had the grilled salmon, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the Hanks Hot Honey fried chicken. For drinks, I had the Mule-Berry, which was made with vodka, strawberries, lime, and ginger beer. It was refreshingly balanced, not too sweet, which was a nice surprise. We loved every second of it and can’t wait to return!”

Called to speak to a manager to let them know to check their salad. on hold for 20 min...then they picked up and hung up on me. 3 strikes you are out. incredibly poor service for a guest service industry. and now after posting I do NOT recommend, this posts as I recommended...haha. do yourself a favor and stay away”

“The food is excellent. Probably the best hamburger in Ft. Collins and try the Spicy Chicken too. My kids love the chicken with waffles! Cocktails are top notch - jump for the Chupacabra! I’ve eaten here for 4 or 5 years now - 415 never disappoints.”

“What an amazing experience. The food was incredible, our waiter was happy and knowledgeable and guided our selections to the perfect meal to treat my mom to. It’s been a while since we got to sit down and this might be one of the best meals we shared. Thank You to the owner also for his hospitality, and generosity…. Thank you for sharing a dessert for my friend, complimentary and on the house. I can’t wait to come back. 5Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 2 thumbs up 👍 👍”

“A shout out to Agave Underground at the Foothills Mall! My husband and I went there for the first time tonight and the atmosphere is lovely and fun, the employees are personable and welcoming (and funny!), and the food and drinks are absolutely incredible! Saturday is karaoke night and it was such a fun experience. We will definitely make it a regular place to eat.”

“First time in tonight. They are moving in a week so the next time we are in town we will check it out.
Service: Host was very accommodating. She got us in and was open to a table swap that we decided not to do. Server was prompt, casual and proud of his restaurant. Made great suggestions and followed up.
Brian the owner came by and introduced himself and was happy to hear it was our first time in. Was excited for his new location after 21 years.
Food was great. Chicken Française was excellent. Sauce was lemony and butter was perfectly emulsified and thick.
Sausage Bolognese was to die for. Delicious pancetta and sausage caramelized on the pasta with wonderful meaty flavor. Slight basil and parm rounded out the dish.
The crew set us a first timer cheesecake. We were blown away mascarpone cheesecake over a sugar biscotti with toasted almonds a caramel sauce. Epic.
Don’t miss this gem, where the locals come, probably time and time again. Cheers to Domenic’s.”

“bad service but we like the chicken and ribs so we order take out. tonight we had a salad in our takeout which was awful and full of previously frozen and wilted lettuce. Called to speak to a manager to let them know to check their salad. on hold for 20 min...then they picked up and hung up on me. 3 strikes you are out. incredibly poor service for a guest service industry. and now after posting I do NOT recommend, this posts as I recommended...haha. do yourself a favor and stay away”

“Have you met Rachael?? She is the bartender who took care of me. She was on point! The California heat tacos were fantastic!! I had mine prepared with the tempura shrimp, with a nice shot of butt burning habanero sauce. The sides were black beans with the cilantro rice. The rice was the perfect texture to accent the cilantro flavor. I mixed the beans in cause I’m that guy!! All around 5 stars.”

“For some time now I have had a true appreciation for small business, especially within Northern Colorado. I've spent a number of years within my profession, private security. I have received advanced training from some of the best in the field. Of course, my greatest training and experience came via the nine years I spent in the United States Army. I spent those years as an infantryman with the 101st Airborne Division; fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I've seen my brothers die thousands of miles from home...some having done so before gaining citizenship in this country. That's the love we all had for the USA. We all made a sacrifice in one form or another. We never ask for anything in return...except...that you NEVER insult our veteran status. Ever. It's one of the most despicable, disgusting, uncalled for, and unprofessional things that could be done. It's unforgivable and there's absolutely no excuse for it. So, would like to let EVERYONE KNOW, those that own and operate the Teriyaki Wok II are no friend to the veteran community...especially those who are disabled veterans.”

“Wow! Tonight's Karaoke season was great. The energy was infectious, with everyone cheering and singing along. There was some goosebump- inducing performances that left the audience in awe. The Karaoke DJ did an excellent job of engaging, maintaining a great flow of performances, and creating an incredibly entertaining atmosphere. People of all skill levels received cheers and applause. The wait staff were quick and extremely friendly as usual. We will be back.”

“7-day a week Happy Hour from 4 pm to 6 pm -- Woo Hoo! Get there early as there are only around 10 seats at the bar but this Happy Hour is so outstanding you want to work your way through all the items -- how about a Margherita Pizza for $7! Or a Dry-Aged Cheeseburger Platter with Fries for $12! Or Truffle Fries as a great snack with a cocktail for $5! And on top of that last night (11-14-22) I had the best Prosciutto I've had in years as part of an Antipasti and if I'd gotten that alone it would have been just $5!!! The place is lovely and the staff are all very gracious and hospitable -- this Happy Hour gets my 5 stars!!!”

“Was there in august, twice. Showing up at 4 pm opening made for such a great time. We were spoiled. Went thru multiple tasting and lots of bottles went back to Texas . As great as the atmosphere was, the drinks were better. Wife just loved the rose gin and the bourbons and whiskey were just wow. Loved the port barrel aged stuff. Got to spend time w Sebastian and that really made the highlight. Fixing to be back when in town next”

“Best place to get Mexican food. They have a restaurant in Greeley that was so popular that they were able to open one up for us in Fort Collins. I'm so glad they did. They have a huge variety of food items to choose from. My favorite is the lengua tacos. They are big and filling. One is plenty for me unless I'm starving, then I go for two and then I'm too full and say I should have just stuck to one. LOL The lengua is the best I've ever tasted. It's so tender and delicious. It's a MUST try when you go. I've tried many different dishes and they were all fantastic. Also, the best customer service ever. Everyone is so friendly. You can't go wrong here. Try it, you'll like it.”

“This place was an amazing walk down memory lane! Not to mention, the pizza was really good and the staff super friendly. Be sure and play some video games before you leave! We arrived around 11am when they opened, and they were really busy as we were leaving. Recommend arriving early so you can get the best pictures! Loved watching the videos as well.”

“So dang good!!! The girl at the register, Makenzie, was so helpful and friendly. I told her it was my first time and she happily walked me through the menu and gave me a suggestion for my first time. I got a #3 with medium heat. It is the perfect spice level - a little hot on the end but not over bearing. Perfectly crispy outside and tender inside. Thanks for making my first time memorable! I'll be back!”

“Great place for beer and tacos. We had the Hillbilly Queso with chorizo & tortilla chips and while the queso was delicious the chips weren’t anything to brag about except as to pick up enough queso to your mouth 👄. The Democrate Taco is one to try if you can’t decide; one party after me struggled to choose what to eat! The menu is wide and varied.”

“I don't usually comment on big chains, but without saying a word about it, Maddy convinced me otherwise.
The food exceeded my expectations, and I didn't even get pasta. The salmon was super-tasty and tender, the garlicked broccoli done to perfection. The dinner companions, all of whom actually did get pasta, thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. I don't eat much bread, but I found myself snarfing down those tasty breadsticks.
The service. Ah, yes. Here we go. Maddy was perfect, and I don't say that lightly. She was at the table quickly after we sat down. She checked on us often enough that we knew we were being cared for, but stayed away enough to let us have uninterrupted time together. She brought a refill for me before I had my glass finished.
Maddy had a constant genuine smile and beamed a positive attitude every second she was at our table, including while unloading a dinner plate tray that was bigger than she was. When I threw out lightly snarky humor, she was quick with a friendly and funny rejoinder.
I wish we could clone Maddy for every restaurant in the country. Seriously, I'm old, and I have never had better or more enjoyable service at a restaurant.
Thank you, Olive Garden. It was a surprisingly great experience with food quality, price, and service, and I just might have to come back.”
