Try that Chia Lemonella for your scratchy airplane throat. Gluten free and vegan options available, too!

Best airport food around. Try the lamb sliders.

The coconut fizz is legit, if you're into non-alcoholic drinks.

The Columbian Griddled Cheese is delicious and the chocolate mousse pie is heavenly. 🍰👍🏽
Maya Jimenez 😬June 28, 2015
The best veggie burger you've ever had. Micheladas are on point!
Andrew BeckerAugust 12, 2016
Sit in the back and it doesn't feel like you're in an airport (except that you are staring at a runway)
Michael Brooks JrMarch 11, 2014
The lamb sliders and beer salad were two of the best airport selections I've ever had.
Mike BakerOctober 25, 2013

Stop by and fill up your water bottle at their free refill station! Or get an amazing meal or cocktail...
Andrea MJune 20, 2015
Great food. Allow plenty of time here; this is not fast food or fast service.
Katie CoakleyDecember 18, 2013
Not only excellent food, but perhaps one of the best people watching spots at the bar.
Peter GentFebruary 20, 2014
Lamb sliders = happiness. This place is raising the bar about what you think airport food should be like.
Denise DufresneOctober 7, 2013
The tofu scramble is tasty. And the service was excellent.

Give these guys an award for finally bringing awesome food to DIA. Pretty much the best airport food available in the USA.
Alex LevensalorOctober 7, 2013
Amazing! Lamb sliders are great.
Cathi MercerApril 14, 2014
One of the nicest airport restaurants I've ever tries
Jessica EckmanMarch 23, 2015
Local CO fav outside the airport. Amazing addition to DIA. Thank you for giving us good food when we fly!
Seth TaplinAugust 29, 2019
Lots of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options!
Jason AppeltApril 17, 2014
Coolest place to drink at DIA. Great food also but limited menu.
SteveHultJanuary 25, 2015
Don't fool yourself by saying its as good as the highlands location... I'd go with good enough

Okay let's be serious here. I love this restaurant, but there's no way you should pay $18 for a cup of ceviche. We're not in France. #foodie
Brent GatewoodSeptember 26, 2014
Great Burgers. Service is a bit slow, so be careful, but a great airport restaurant.
FranciscoFebruary 18, 2014
great place with so many GF options! You can have a burger here!
Nicole StahleckerApril 23, 2018
The country fried tofu is amazing
Avinash ParekhSeptember 15, 2013
Great food, definitely not airplane food. Vegetarian gluten free and vegan options
Rebecca AnneJanuary 18, 2017
The risotto with salmon added and a nice glass of white wine!
Rica GoettscheNovember 2, 2016
Sweet potato waffle fries were decent. Not worth the cost though. The curry lime yogurt for shipping was good.
Moe DexlerApril 5, 2016
This place is great. Drop everything you are doing and get here ASAP!
AudreyFebruary 26, 2014
Passing through? They know their brews but they run short on tip-worthy service. Surly bartenders on a midweek happy hour? Spend elsewhere.
Charles TownsendJanuary 11, 2014
Try the Grittled Cheese. Not a sandwich but really good and unique.

This is the best place to pass time at the airport. Great good, service and good wine.

Lamb Sliders are the best thing here
CharlesMarch 27, 2014
Awesome view, chill atmosphere, and the Beef Burger, that is all.
Jeniffer OrdaFebruary 15, 2019
We had roasted vegetables and salads. Can accommodate vegan
Marie HoweApril 14, 2014
Best food I've ever had in an airport! The veggie burger was delicious.
BradMarch 3, 2014
If you're here in the morning get the almond pancakes. They're fantastic.
Daniel KingsleyOctober 18, 2014
Kale salad and beers on Nitro tap are delicious and creamy ;)

Lamb Sliders were tasty, but had me tasting them later on the plane.
Bradley ShiveMarch 29, 2014
They have "laptop" dining tables with outlets... Wicked smaaat!
Clayton BoslerJanuary 14, 2016
It's as good as all these Four Square folks say. Definitely brightened up my delayed travel day!

Love love love the sweet potato fries!

Bento box is a nice switch up for an airport bar. Vegetarians beware though, the edamame has meat in it. Weird.
Karen HJanuary 26, 2014
You can get half-size salads. The beet salad is fantastic!
Amy RobertsonSeptember 4, 2016
Healthy options, local beer, and generally better than average airport food

Great beer selection and amazing, unique food.
Ashli McKeeFebruary 11, 2014
Slow slow slow for an airport restaurant that supposedly has a special system to get you in and out quickly. Surly host too. Shame that a place that actually has vegan offerings isn't up to par.
Nick QuinlanDecember 26, 2016
Best dining in DIA, Concourse C or otherwise.
