Go somewhere else! Eggs-gross! Toast-cold and not really toasted. Bacon-medium. OJ-good enough. Staff-ATTITUDE, at least for the cashier. The egg scooper gal was okay. I should have gone somewhere else, anywhere else must be better. $ 14.00 wasted!

Bowl of chicken noodle soup, Turkey meatball mozzarella panini was great! The Turkey chipotle wrap was so-so. It seems they are better with hot food. The price is super reasonable too and they give a free cookie with every order!

Friendliest, most helpful place I have been to in any airport. Huge breakfast burritos for 6.50.

This was the absolute worst lunch I have ever had in an airport. EVER. After traveling I decided to have a nice healthy lunch of a salad and soup. I choose the combo of a mixed green salad and a cup of minestrone. What I got was a small bowl of chopped up iceberg(white) lettuce and a little romaine mixed in. The soup was the size of a thimble and was watery with just a few vegetables and maybe three or four beans. $ 9+ for something that probably cost 75 cents to make. I was left still wanting something else and mad about it. Yuck.

Imagine the following scenario. Two people rushing to catch a flight order breakfast from a bakery in the concourse, one orders your typical breakfast sandwich(eggs, cheese, meat) and the other orders a bagel and cream cheese. Who gets their breakfast first? If you guessed the bagel, you’d be wrong. Not only did it take longer to toast a bagel, after first letting us know that they were out of the first choice and then toasting the wrong kind before finally getting it right on the third try, the result was a bagel in a bag with a little plastic tub of cream cheese. They didn’t even spread it on themselves! It ended up not mattering anyway, the bagel was so subpar that it went in the trash after a couple bites. I realize that Denver airport isn’t Brooklyn, but it shouldn’t be that hard to toast a decent bagel and apply the cream cheese behind the counter.

I showed up around 4:30 pm to 4 employees having private conversations. No line and no service. I jangled my purse to get some attention and exactly one person glanced at me. Needless to say I ordered anyway and was told my chicken-artichoke wrap would be ready in 5 minutes. Okay… When they brought it out to me(15 minutes later) it was a ham and swiss panini. I went back to show them the receipt and they just slid a cookie to me free of charge. Wow. Never. Going. Back. Ever!

Quick, Painless, and Delicious! Both times I ran to this place and from it in just enough time to catch my flights. The staff here was fast and friendly. Those are key to food in an airport for me. They have a wide variety of beverages in bottles or fountain drinks. In the morning their selection of pastries is befitting any good bakery. In the evening they have many sweet selections to compliment your meal. The first time I dropped in I grabbed us breakfast. I had the scrambled egg breakfast. It was great and finished quickly. I couldn’t pass on a chocolate croissant because it was was HUGE! Delicious too and filled with so much chocolate I fell in love instantly. My next stop in was for a lunch. A turkey cranberry sandwich, it was messy to eat on the plane but it was delicious. It even came with a free cookie! That’s a nice surprise. Both times I was here they had me in and out in a matter of minutes. When you are trying to catch your next flight with a short layover this is the perfect place to stop to get the meal you’re going to miss in the air!

Woody Creeks is a great alternative to the otherwise horrible choices in terminal B at Denver International Airport. They have really good sandwiches all made fresh while you wait. Soups and salads are good as well. I live in Denver so don’t often eat at the airport but when I do I almost always head to Woody Creek. They have a nice bar too with TV’s always tuned to sports. I like this place. BTW, its on the second level so look up when searching for it.

I don’t do many reviews but this place surpassed my expectations. First, order the half sandwich/half soup because you can’t go wrong. Second, and most important, I only came by for a quick beer to drown my United travel woes. Luckily for me and my girlfriend and unfortunately for my wallet, Doug the bartender was working. You will tip this man well because he deserves it.

The chicken salad sandwich and warm cookie made my Denver layover not too bad. I hate United and hope to never fly with them again, but the next time I have a layover in Denver I think Woody Creek is worth the walk over to the United Terminal.

I think this place is a hidden gem in the massive United terminal at Denver International Airport. You need to go upstairs in the center food court area, but they have amazing cookies. Also, not many airport restaurants give free sample, but they often do! You really can’t go wrong with any of their baked goods. If you have an early morning flight, swing by and grab a pastry to go for your flight. If you are there around lunch time, they have great sandwiches and make sure to add a cooke. Also, because it’s on the top floor, there is typically more seating. Highly recommended!

I came across this place while wandering around the lackluster food offerings in the United terminal at the Denver airport, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. They lured me in with free cookies, which is a pretty reliable path to my heart. I wound up getting a chicken salad sandwich that was very fresh and tasty, and some soup that was just OK. When I checked out, they gave me even more free cookies, so they’re either super friendly, made way too many cookies that day, or hate me and are trying to give me diabetes. Either way… cookies! Also, a special shout out to the guy I’m assuming was the manager or owner, who was hustling around the whole time chatting with people and making sure they liked their meals.

This place is actually pretty decent for airport food. On both layovers this last week, we did the grab-n-go option. They’re located on the upper level of Terminal B, unfortunately near the smoking lounge. Wafts of cigarette odor could occasionally be detected as we ate. Also, they do have full restaurant service if you sit at the bar. Prices are what you’d expect. My bowl of chicken tortilla soup with crispy strips was surprisingly flavorful. It was hearty and revived my tired traveling body. The boyfriend’s minestrone was also good, but not as good as the chicken tortilla. His had large chunks of vegetable floating in a red broth that somehow tasted burned. The week before, we had ordered turkey sandwiches, which were average. The bread was falling apart between our fingers as we ate. The turkey meat itself was piled on high, but it tasted overly processed. The best part was the cranberry jam. Note: utensils are by the fountain drinks in the spinning dispenser. You have to hit the corresponding lever for a spoon/fork/knife to come out, ostensibly to reduce waste. They had free cookie samples at the register. I ate several pieces and we ordered some(2 for 1 deal going on right now, or maybe it’s like that all the time?). DELICIOUS, WARM cookies that’ll make any disgruntled flyer feel better and give the place an extra star. Kudos to a Colorado chain, Woody Creek!

We’ve eaten here a couple of times now. We rarely fly out of the United Concourse(a/k/a Concourse B) but I think this is one of the healthier quick options around. They offer salads, sandwiches and soups. They also serve breakfast but I’ve never visited that early in the day. The first time, I had a club sandwich combo, which included a big sandwich, chips, a cookie, and a fountain drink. The sandwich tasted pretty good and it was plenty of food. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious! The next time I had a garden salad with tuna salad on top. The ingredients in the garden salad were all very fresh, which was surprising and delightful for airport food. The tuna and the salad dressing both tasted bland, unfortunately. It was a large salad and I couldn’t finish it, though I might have tried harder if it tasted better. All in all, I think Woody Creek is a good value as far as airport food goes. If I find myself needing food in the B Concourse again, I think I will try a different salad. And definitely a cookie.

This is my go-to destination for breakfast when I have to take early flights out of DIA. Most of my flights tend to be out of the B terminal, so it’s easy to stop by the upper level in the middle of the terminal to visit Woody Creek Bakery. I typically get the oatmeal cookie bowl. They’ll gladly customize things for you if you ask.(Hold the sugar, package the cookie separately, etc.). They also have a selection of basic fresh fruit on hand, and, if you’re lucky, there will be some free samples down near the bakery section. I’m not gonna say it’s the best oatmeal I’ve ever had, but it’s one of the healthier breakfast options in the airport. To note, there are some other smaller Woody Creek locations located elsewhere in the terminals, but the main location on the second floor of terminal B is the only one that I’ve been able to get the oatmeal at.

Located at Concourse B of the airport. A healthy choice for a meal at the airport. I was attracted to the selection of Greek food in the menu. I ordered the Greek Cranberry and Turkey Sandwich. It’s the first time I’ve had this combination for a sandwich so I can’t really compare the quality and taste. But I thought it was a little awkward as the cranberry taste out powers everything and it was a bit sour. The meal is filling, and it comes with a cookie which is delicious. Service was quick and friendly.
