Robyn E. writes: For the love of all things holy, WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE?!?!

SUPERFICIAL

I've watched about 93% of every season of this show, right from the beginning.  I even wanted to be on it--WHEN I WAS A STUPID & NAIVE 16 year old.  Got over that quickly.…

Billiards Paradise

5250 W 38th Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO 80212

Daniel T. writes: This bar is walking distance for me and I still never go here. The place is a dump and the pool tables couldn't possibly be packed closer together. Drinks are average as is the staff.

Wal Mart

3600 Youngfield St
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Daniel T. writes: Seems like this walmart has been around forever. Its a walmart, so I think two stars is a pretty glowing review. When you're desperate for something late at night, this is one of the few places in Wheat Ridge that is open 24 hours.

Old Chicago

3250 Youngfield St
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Daniel T. writes: I like to visit this place for lunch as I work nearby but for drinks I really don't care for it. The jukebox is comically bad, the drinks are overpriced, the staff is full of boring, and the beer selection is overrated. Yep, they have lots of beers…

Pei Wei Asian Diner

1255 East First Avenue
Broomfield, CO 80020

Jordan W. writes: There is not logic to this, but I like having a Pei Wei close by even though I barely go there.  The food is tasty--same recipes as PF Changs.  It's hardly healthy and it's gargantuan on the calories (it's cool that they post nutrutional info on…

United Airlines Customer Service

Denver, CO 80238

Marra W. writes: I love United Airlines, love love them. However, their customer service sucks.

Me and three other friends are flying back east in a about a week. We all wanted to fly together. So two of us are on the phone together, booking our travel, bada bing, I…

Firenza a Tavola
Neighborhood: Northwest

4401 Tennyson St
Denver, CO 80212

Tina F. writes: Since I love Parisi, Firenza's sibling restaurant on the upper floor, I had great expectations for this new more formal restaurant in the basement. I was very disappointed.
It was quite pricey and the food was marginal. The best part of the meal was…

3 Margaritas

5130 S Wadsworth Blvd
Lakewood, CO 80123

Lindsey N. writes: My sister was in town and so the whole family wanted to get together.  This place was a decent compromise in both location and non-threatening variety of food offered.  Alcohol was also a factor, as it should be in all large family gatherings.  I…

Lu Jack's Liquors
Neighborhood: Southwest, Speer

30 Broadway
Denver, CO 80238

Shiho F. writes: Your typical neighborhood liquor joint.

Ruby Tuesday Restaurant

5525 Wadsworth Byp
Arvada, CO 80002

Daniel T. writes: Just another chain, but twice as expensive. The salad bar is alright, but over priced, and the burgers are mediocre at best. The 'happy hour' is not really any kind of bargain. You know you can do better.

Krishna Groceries Inc

550 W South Boulder Rd
Lafayette, CO 80026

Hiker Chicka e. writes: I like to try exotic food, and Krishna is a place for that.  They carry Sri Lankan food, which in mind is as exotic as it gets, and definitely not a staple in Asian Indian stores.  

The only problem I have with Indian grocery stores is that they are…

Rickenbaugh Collision Repair Center
Neighborhood: Southwest, Baker

444 Kalamath St
Denver, CO 80204

anita m. writes: i had my vehicle repaired at rickenbaugh collison in march as was very satisfied. i was skeptical at first after reading the last review. however i knew rickenbaugh had a good reputation and went with my instinct. the repairs were done in the time…

Pier One Imports Clearance
Neighborhood: Southeast

2670 South Havana
Aurora, CO 80014

Gitana G. writes: I always try to make a point and visit this store when I'm in this part of town because it is a drive. I've actually have purchased a couple of wicker baskets here too. However, I agree; Deals are few are far between, EVEN for an outlet store. Some…

Cindy Lynn Resturant
Neighborhood: Northeast

1650 E 47th Ave
Denver, CO 80216

Megan H. writes: I love diner food.  Born and raised in the South, I can chew on a grit, tank on an onion ring, and nosh out the tuna melt.

The woman who owns this diner is sweet and her daughter helps her serve so if you're looking for locat character and flavor, you…

Rib City Grill

14705 W 64th Ave
Arvada, CO 80001

Doug Y. writes: Well I smelled their smoke before I ever tasted their food. I stumbled into Billy D's Coffee joint a door or two down in a groggy stupor and as I came out sufficiently caffeinated I caught the smell of fire and meat. The barista at Billy's gave me…

Von Feldt Cleaners & Shirt Laundry
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD

627 18th St
Denver, CO 80202

Shiho F. writes: Convenient?  Yes.  If you work downtown in the tall Qwest tower but worth it?  No.  They have a great deal for men and their shirts but the pricing increases for women's shirts.  Not cool.

Sanctuary Home
Neighborhood: Northwest, Highland

1635 Platte St
Denver, CO 80202

Megan H. writes: Sanctuary Home is a chi-chi shop where you can order custom upholstery for your furniture.  I thought that the stunning retro chair (of brown and blue, mod colors) was going to be $5,000 and almost passed out when I saw it was a very reasonable $900.…

Foothills Ice Arena

2250 S Kipling St
Lakewood, CO 80227

Jessica M. writes: This rink is somewhat crappy.  The ice is freaky.  It's hard to watch a game through the scratches on the glass.

Radioshack

10705 W Colfax Ave
Lakewood, CO 80215

Daniel T. writes: Radioshack at the Mills. The only place in the area to easily pick up any electronics parts, but if you buy anything else, you're just getting ripped off. This location is usually tidy, but the employees are far more 'high pressure' than at most…

Tailgate Tavern

19552 E Main St
Parker, CO 80138

Shiho F. writes: Stopped by the Tailgate for a quick cocktail before dining at Indochine.  It was pretty packed and I got to enjoy a Courvoisier Sidecar at this clean but divy bar.  My sidecar and a draft was only 7 bucks.  Good times.

Mc Donalds At the Tivoli
Neighborhood: Northwest, Auraria

900 Auraria Pkwy
Denver, CO 80204

Daniel T. writes: Has a strangely unique feeling for a McDonalds. They offer a 'triple cheeseburger' that I've never seen anywhere else that was just as greasy as it sounds. All in all, still just another chain.

Bell Plumbing & Heating Co
Neighborhood: Northwest, Lodo

2150 S Abilene At Hwy 225
Denver, CO 80202

Tina F. writes: Originally I called Appletree Plumbing to diagnose a leak, because we've had outrageous water bills. Appletree was able to determine that we had a leak from our water main to the house and gave us an estimate of $5500 to fix it!!!!!! Granted, it's an…

Sunrise Sunset

7400 W 38th Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Brian R. writes: Interesting menu, I usually order standard fair but this time I tried a house specialty. Sausage layered with salsa, cheese and poached eggs on a skillet with english muffin and country potatoes. I imaged myself preparing to harvest my field while I…

Far East Oriental Supermarket
Neighborhood: Southwest

333 S Federal Blvd
Denver, CO 80219

Mariko Y. writes: This market does have much to be desired, but I think it does fill the needs of some of the Vietnamese/Korean/Chinese shoppers.  The smells can get a little funky, but I think it's a good experience.
 
If you happened to be in there about 8 years ago…

Minilla's Restaurante

7000 W 38th Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Daniel T. writes: A good Mexican restaurant should not be crammed into a remodeled house, then coated in mirrors. Since Minilla's is not a good Mexican restaurant, it is ok that that is the situation here.

This is the only Mexican place within walking distance for me…

El Jaliciense

4105 Wadsworth Blvd
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

Doug Y. writes: This is as close to decent mariscos (yeah, seafood gringo. That is their specialty.) that I've found in the way west area of Denver. Their Filete de Empanizado is pretty good. They make a very good bowl of menudo and if you like Horchata it comes in…

Cold Stone Creamery

5545 Wadsworth Byp Unit D
Arvada, CO 80002

Lindsey N. writes: Previous review does not compute.

Cold Stone is simply the BEST ICE CREAM EVER.  I would kill a man for some Cold Stone.

My favorite is Birthday Cake Remix, because it really is like a birthday cake.  So it could be like my birthday every day.

Perhaps…

Heidi's Brooklyn Deli

16603 Washington St
Thornton, CO 80229

Hiker Chicka e. writes: After being sugar free 2+ weeks, I had a hankering for some carrot cake or bread pudding.  I went to Heidi's and much to my delight, they had both.  I bought a slice of each.  STALE!!!  I had the throw the stuff in the garbage after one bite of each!…

Jersey Mike's Subs
Neighborhood: Southwest

555 Broadway
Denver, CO 80238

Jelena W. writes: I'm a sucker for a good sub, especially if it comes with lots of veggies, and those nummy little banana peppers. Hold the jalapenos. I'm glad that a friend pointed me to Jersey Mike's- it's like someone took Subway and made it, well, good, and clean!…

Opticas Lux
Neighborhood: Southwest, Speer

414 Broadway
Denver, CO 80238

dj soundra w. writes: Your standard optics store in the middle of a bunch of ghetto dollar stores.  Run of the mill looks like they have time to vacuum in between all the D and G.  Designer glasses and sunglasses mostly over 300 dollars.  Versace.  Armani.  Juicy couture…

Coors Amphitheatre

6350 Greenwood Plaza Blvd
Greenwood Village, CO 80111

dj soundra w. writes: Fiddlers Green is a great summer concert venue.  Yes--large and large,  meaning you will not be able to see anything of substance hehe, except for maybe something like Outkast.  I can see them performing here.  Oh wait, have I already seen them…

16th Street Mall
Neighborhood: Northwest, Lodo

16th Street
Denver, CO 80238

Jim P. writes: THE UP-SIDE: Judging by the reviews from local Denver folks here, I'd say that this street mall must have declined over the past few years.  However, being an out-of-towner, I found the mall to have several great qualities.  I loved the free,…

Eggshell of Cherry Creek
Neighborhood: Southeast, Cherry Creek

300 Josephine St
Denver, CO 80238

Karli F. writes: Ok, so its a decent place to get breakfast--but nothing more than that.  I guess maybe I have something against places that use vinyl tablecloths.  The natural light from the wall of windows was really nice, but other than that the atmosphere was…

Aspen's Cafe

3200 S Parker Rd
Aurora, CO 80014

Jonny C. writes: My girlfriend and I ate breakfast at the Aspen Cafe (only because we were staying at the Radisson).  We passed on the $9 all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, which looked a little tired.  It did have a decent selection, if you don't mind eating it luke…

Landry's Seafood House

7209 S Clinton Street
Golden, CO 80402

Shiho F. writes: Heard great things about this restuarant which is part of a national chain.  The restaurant corporation also owns the Chart House, Willie G's Seafood and Steak House and the Aquarium restaurants.   According to a good freind that used to work at a…

I 25 Colorado Blvd
Denver, CO 80202

Mona L. writes: My family likes this place.  Drinks are good.  Fun for dinner then play around in the arcade.

i always eat the Honey Mustard Spinach salad, it has strips of chicken breast.  Very good.  It is my favorite salad.  The plate is huge, and price is…

The Launchpad
Neighborhood: Southwest

3632 Morisson Road
Denver, CO 80219

Perci N. writes: Do not go here unless you know someone who knows someone who's playing that night. This isn't a club. It's an underground.

During the day, it's strangely both a glass blowing shop and a band rehearsal studio. During the night, the space is rented out…

Tsing Tao Chinese Restaurant

607 S Broadway St Ste A
Boulder, CO 80305

H Y. writes: More fried meat with mystery sweet and sour sauce but if you must have some sort-of Chinese food in South Boulder then go here. Otherwise get a burger at the Southern Sun or some Tandoori at the Tandoori Grill. Better yet, go to King Soopers, buy…

Z Gallerie
Neighborhood: Northwest, Lodo

1465 Larimer St
Denver, CO 80202

sherri s. writes: For mainstream furniture this gallery has some great pieces.  I have been looking for a specific bed for a really long time and outside of catalogs I haven't been able to find one in my price range that didn't cost more to ship than the actual piece.…
