Probably the best airport food I’ve ever had! Very commodious space, ample seats and not crunched together. Some of the table have power to charge your devices. Nice airy view inside and of the airport area. Service greeted me and immediately asked if I was in a hurry. Awesome and professional service. House salad was nice,light and fresh the burger was cooked perfectly with everything on the side. The house chips tasted fresh too and were crispy, nicely seasoned and a nice addition to the burger. If you have time to drink, there is an extensive tap list along with many liquors. Worth checking out if you’re in the A concourse.

I was happily surprised about how quick their service is. I had lunch before a flight and had some time to kill, so I was not in a hurry. Still it was really nice to have my food ready in a jiffy. The chicken salad was delicious and the mashed potatoes were the perfect match. On a different day I had the fried chicken sandwich with a side of broccoli and that was also perfect!

Great place to stop in at the Denver airport if you’re lucky. Got in within a 10-15 minute wait. Was originally going to go to Smashburger, but the line itself was ridiculous. I’ve been to Elway’s once before where I got a burger which was good, but I wasn’t super hungry today. Waiter gave an amazing recommendations of the steak tacos today. 🌮 it came out in less than 5 minutes… faster than my drink! Delicious and will definitely be back next time for a layover! The steak was very juicy which can be hard to do in a taco. This is definitely one of the best spots in the Denver airport when you have time. If you’re ever concerned, show them your departure time and see if you can make it. I mentioned I liked fruit and I think Paul the waiter went out of his way to ask them to give me more strawberries. Cheesecake was average but the attention to detail and follow through was exceptional. Excellent service. Definitely worth it if you can. Thanks Elway’s for a delicious meal and great service in a long layover!

I was here Christmas Eve night and did not know what to expect. Honestly one of my best airport restaurant experiences so far. Got the Cesar salad w/ grilled chicken and it was so good!!! I sat at the bar and Dana was so kind and attentive. She had such a welcoming energy and I loved chatting with her. Also, everywhere in an airport is expensive but this had some cheaper options. I will definitely be back.

After many years in and out of Denver I finally found this gem! Seems like not many people make it this far out of the A-gates which means it was nice and quiet. Service was great and the food even better! A bit pricey but being at an airport getting a meal this nice I’ll take it! Also, I accidentally discovered a little outdoor observation deck at the very end of the A-gates. It also got a space for your pet friends to go wee wee.

In 4 years, I have visited 38 states, many cities, and countless restaurants. And as someone who has devoted 10 years to the restaurant business, I can say with confidence that this is one of the best restaurant I have visited in the states. If you get to this airport and your flight is delayed, by all means go to this place. Guaranteed to get a good aftertaste.

First and foremost, JEN IS AMAZING!!! Everything we ate was absolutely fantastic! We had the potato chips, some ice cream, fries, the beer, battered onion rings, the tomato house made mozzarella sandwich, a Caesar salad, and last, but certainly not least the short ribs “off the bone.” The short ribs were obscenely delicious!! Again, a big shout out to Jen for the amazing service and everyone else who was working today was pretty awesome too! The service was exceptional!

Just what my husband and I needed before our last flight of the day. Demitrius at the bar was attentive, friendly, and made great drinks! My husband loved the spicy margarita and I tried the gimlet #7. We had two good entrees: chicken sandwich and mushroom burger. The caramelized onions on the burger were sooo good. $85 for this before tip.
