Big bowls loaded with noodles, Japanese fried chicken and more at popular Colorado ramen spot | Dining review

This Denver restaurant shares a crowded parking lot with a Mediterranean restaurant, bakery and Philly cheesesteak…

Whether food, as an adjective, precedes court, emporium or hall, it’s all the same concept: several options for cuisines in a single, usually large, space with a common dining area. It’s an apt description of Denver’s Junction Food & Drink. With nearly a dozen options for chow and libations, how to choose? Short of throwing…

Black Forest barbecue joint serves up broasted chicken, smoked meat platters | Dining review
Don’t be confused by the gas pumps outside; Firehouse on the Run is a different kind of filling station: It’s a barbecue joint. First, you have to walk through the convenience store, past the cashier and an extensive display of Hostess packaged baked goods, among other convenience store merchandise.

Sam’s No. 3 isn’t a third diner; rather it’s one of a trio with the same name. Once, there were other numbers, but it’s operated under that number 3 moniker for decades. There’s also a lot of history, which according to Sam’s website began in 1927 when Greek immigrant Sam Armatas launched the restaurant in…

Dining review: Bistro rocks creative fare
Union an American Bistro doesn’t quite roll off the tongue and I never heard anyone call it UAB, which sounds more like a bank than a restaurant; nonetheless, this Castle Rock eatery serves creative and satisfying food.
