Appaloosa Grill Reviews List

Appaloosa Grill

Established in 2001, the employee owned Appaloosa Grill is a refreshingly unique choice among eateries that line the 16th Street Mall. The diverse all day menu features 100% natural meats as well as a variety of vegetarian options. The Grill also boasts two happy hours a day, a private party room for groups up to 75, a patio on the 16th Street Mall, live entertainment nightly and a kitchen that serves til 1am.

The Appaloosa Grill is a fusion of food and ambiance that is both upscale and casual. Warm cherry woodwork, burgundy-upholstered booths and elegant lighting make Appaloosa Grill popular for business lunches, while an antique bar with blazing candles and modern light fixtures offer dinner guests a classy, moody atmosphere. Appaloosa Grill opened in April 2001 to provide a unique dining experience for Downtown Denver's visitors, habitants and workers.

"I heard good things about this place, unfortunately this was not the case with me. I ordered a Caesar salad and the bison steak and waited, and waited, and waited. As I sat behind the bar and waited, observed a group of 5 or so food servers including mine, do a shot of something! After about 40 minutes of waiting, my main course came. It was good but the fact I had to wait so long lessened the experience. After I was done I reminded the waiter that he forgot my Caesar salad to which he replied, oh! Perhaps the alcohol was to blame!"

"I was visiting from out of town and went here based on other review sites. What a fantastic restaurant! Highly recommend - the truffle oil fries were amazing and the bison burger with side salad was a perfect dinner. They have a variety of local draft brews as well that seemed to have something for every beer type."

"This place was okay. The food wasn't bad, but the service was terrible. It took about 10 minutes for our server to greet our table, and then we watched him stand around and drink a Red Bull while we were waiting for our water. We also saw other servers standing around eating at the bar while their tables waited. Maybe slow service is acceptable after 10 when the live music is playing, but we were there for dinner and expected more.
The food was okay. It wasn't bad, but because of the service, I would be more likely to find mediocre food somewhere else. Although, the cucumber Cosmo was absolutely delicious!"

"Denver Restaurant Week/5280 encouraged us to give Appaloosa Grill a try for the first time. We enjoyed the meatloaf. The sides and other dishes were reminiscent of fine dining (portions and price), without the culinary talent for complimenting each other.
The service was good and our hostess very nice. The ambiance was OK, but the low tops with the raised booths above them are a little uncomfortable."

"I had what is probably the best hangar steak I've ever eaten. The mashed potatoes are light, yet filling and the English pot roast is incredibly tender. Mac and cheese is tasty, albeit at bit much with bacon...which is probably why it's not paired with the hangar steak on the menu. Only disappointment was that I left my to go box in the refrigerator at the hotel!"

"Appaloosa Grill is a good restaurant on the 16th Street Mall, close to several business hotels. The food is very good, with a nice range of appetizers (we had the excellent with whipped Brie & garlic confit), burgers, an very good English pot roast and a good steak frittes with garlic herb fries. Our server was attentive and helpful, and the restaurant just generally felt comfortable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area."

"I was surprised how good the food was at Appaloosa Grill, it is so much more than a corner bar. I had a Mahi-Mahi dish that was delicious. The person I was with ordered the fish and chips. Presentation was very nice. One of the owners was working and visited tables and chatted with guests. He was friendly and genuinely seemed interested in our dining experience. The grill is located on a corner which makes for great viewing especially on a weekend. There is also live entertainment."

"My friend and I went to the Appaloosa Grill for a quick bite prior to catching a show at the Paramount. We were fortunate enough to make it in time for happy hour. We were seated within minutes of arrival (thanks, OpenTable) and our service was great despite the busy Friday evening rush. Their happy hour menu is diverse and offers up large portions of delicious food for great prices! I have been before and couldn't wait for our plate of Garlic Truffle Fries. I ordered the Pakora — delicious, and my friend ordered the Black Bean Burger which was also amazing. I will definitely be back!"

"This was our first trip to the Apaloosa Grill, but it won't be our last! Our table wasn't ready when we arrived for our reservation, so the hostess offered a free drink from the bar, great service recovery! The service the rest of the evening was right in line with that. Excellent food, we both had the bruschetta (incredible) and the salmon ( also outstanding!). I highly recommend Appaloosa Grill!"

"We made a reservation in advance. While we waited to be seated at a tiny table for 2, right outside the kitchen several walk-in groups were seated at nice booths. WHAT?
The food was good, but our service was not. We did the 5280 menu and I kid you not....there was a 20 minute wait from when they picked up the appetizer plates to when our entree was served.
I doubt that I will go back."

"We ate dinner here prior to attending a concert at the Paramount. We selected this restaurant based on the good reviews. The food was barely mediocre. My ribs were chewy and my date said that his fish and chips were the worst he's ever had. Our waitress mostly ignored us. (The gentleman at the table next to us ended up going to the bar to get drinks for his table.)"

"The Appaloosa Grill was a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day. The food was great and the service was ok. Our server was slow and seemed to forget we were there at times, but I think it may have been due to the Valentine's Day rush. Overall a good experience."

"Appaloosa Grill was a delicious and wonderful find. The live music and great service was great and the food was fantastic. I recommend starting with the truffle fries and for an entree the mac n' cheese is legendary as far as my taste buds were concerned. Definitely a great place to bring a date or have a casual lunch or dinner, definitely recommended in my book."

"Started with the hostess as we entered. She was friendly and upbeat. Welcomed us graciously even though we were 15 minutes late for our reservation (But we had reserved for 4 pm and got there at 4:15 so not crazy busy yet!). We came in to try happy hour and were not disappointed. The buffalo empanadas - great and would get again! Had the goats cheese quesadillas and the flavors were very nice. A little high priced for a happy hour menu at $10 each plate but still good. Also had the wings. Our server was very attentive. Some local beers on tap were nice. We will return to try dinner some night. Thanks for a nice evening before our movie!"

"A good simple menu which is what I prefer. Was busy and food came in the expected time. Server was freindly and on top of things. Wanted the English Egg rolls but they were out.... bummer. But will for sure go back again and see some of the live music i hear they are famous for."

"We always like going down to the Appaloosa. There's generally a band playing, the waitstaff is always great to our child, one time, even taking the a booth apart to get one of his toys that slipped underneath and a varied menu. We had fish, turkey and mac and cheese (Not Kraft thank God) between the three of us and we were extremely happy. The band they hired to play over the dinner hour was very entertaining and as always, a good experience before going to a show."

"I read the reviews on Open Table and thought it would be a good start for our udining experience for the weekend stay in Denver, good choice. I ordered the Florentine Salad, it was not note worthy, but hubby and mom raved about the filet special. Service was excellent. We will visit again."
