"Enjoyed a nice Mother's Day brunch at the Boot. Had not been for brunch yet. Great menu with lots of choices. The service is always great and the staff is very attentive.
Bloody Mary bar is fantastic. Try the homemade Boot Juice as your mixer, Chris at the bar makes it fresh!

"The noise is so loud that you literally have to yell at one another to hear anything. The food was mediocre at best and expensive for what you got. The service was very bad; the waitress disappeared for the majority of the time we were there. Within 5 minutes of finishing our meal, the manager came by and asked us to leave because he had other reservations. I can understand the need to turn the tables, but not within a few minutes of finishing my last bite. Needless to say, we won't be back."

"The Dusty Boot is a smaller restaurant/bar but it offers tasty food at reasonable prices. Take advantage of their 2 for 1 specials; steaks on Mondays and burgers on Wednesdays. Also, the happy hour drinks and appetizers are very reasonable as well. During the nice weather you can sit outside and enjoy a view of the mountains and the sunset although there is a little traffic noise. (Arapahoe and Parker Rd.) This is a nice neighborhood restaurant and the servers are friendly."

"This experience was a nightmare! Our reservation was not met anywhere near our time slot. Our party of seven inuding two yong, children stood by the door clogging the front entrance for nearly 40 minutes! When we finally got sat, our server seemed as if she were anticipating the 420 celebration early because she forgot to take some orders. The manager attempted to satisfy our need with some apps that were overcooked and tasteless! My beer was offered with a frosted glass that came to the table luke warm and soaked with water residues! The food left much to be desired and was highly overpriced! Needless to say, i will never spend another dime at this restaurant or it's counterparts!"

"We like going here, especially for brunch. Food is always good, and the service is good as well. Staff are friendly. Always surprised how busy they are on week nights. Parking is limited so you might think they are full when there is still room. Prices good for brunch but a little spendy on dinner, especially on the steaks."

"We love to go to the Dusty Boot but this time our experience was less than favorable. Our server did not bring our appetizer and then raely checked back with us on our food, etc. We had to ask another server to get us our check. Our server was more interested in a large table of drinkers that he was waiting on in the bar. We will go back but not on a friday night, service poor and to loud to be able to enjoy a conversation."

"My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by the amount of food we were given for the $52.80 restaurant week deal. The tenderness of the steak was fantastic and the sides were done perfectly. Every thing was great."

"My wife and I enjoy going to the Dusty Boot on occasion. We also have an Autistic daughter who enjoys the atmosphere as well. With every visit we order chips and salsa and our waiter already knows to separate the white chips from the color chips because she cannot eat the colored ones."

"The menu has a ton of great looking things to choose from. Burgers, steaks, fish, and amazing looking baked potatoes! The food was very good and so was the service. However, it was a little noisy and the front entrance is extremely packed and crowded, which is a turn-off when you first walk in. We had a reservation which definitely helped."
