Lodo’s Bar and Grill

I used to go here all the time Friday and Saturday nights, but now they no longer have a DJ there. So I go to viewhouse now. Definitely a good lunch spot to take out of towners to for the view upstairs. Food has always been alright. Nothing to write home about, but a great spot for a beer on the deck to watch some sports and eat a burger.

Only being here twice with my family. This place is awesome the employees are friendly and great service. One server in particular her name is Ariel. She is fantastic, great smile and always there if you need anything. The atmosphere is great you feel welcome in. I’ll definitely keep coming here if I was here in the state longer.

I meet friends here most Tuesday nights.
They have the best selection of Colorado Craft beers. Tell Ross what you like and he most likely has one for you. Most of the time he picks them for me. Very knowledgeable.
Food is excellent also. Don’t forget the awesome patio upstairs. What a view !!!

I am not sure why this place has just bad reviews, Maybe it is be it because we came at lunch that we and a good experience. The food was all delicious and the portion sizes are huge! Our server Lindsay was very nice and accommodating for two moms with toddler boys. I will return for sure.

This is one of the worst locations ever. I have never had worst waitresses and waiters. Don’t even get me started on the food. It is very loud and obnoxious. I can’t stand this place uhgggggggggg!!! I am very disappointed in this restaurant.

I want to rate this place 4+ stars but they continue to allow kids to sit at the bar. It is the irresponsible and ignorant parent that leads the kid to the bar. It is the management and staff that enables families to violate the law. I wish there was a kid free zone where grown over 21 paying patrons can go to relax. Take note from Red Robin where the bar is a no kid zone and families are wait listed. Not the other way around in THIS BAR and grill.

We ordered two salads tonight and the first time around my husband received a steak dinner and mine had the dressing he ordered vs what should have come with it. Second order came without the blackberries that were suppose to be in my blackberry salad and the original bbq dressing in my husbands which he had requested be replaced with another and tomatoes which he also requested be removed. Third time was a charm and salads were done right. Special requests seem to be too much to handle so if you don’t want it how it is on the menu don’t bother with this place. Other than multiple send backs all was good and our waitress was attentive so we may go back if I can get a less picky eating partner :)

Normal bar type food with a twist. Was in town on business and had the Elk burger. The server was very friendly and suggested I have it cooked medium. The burger was very good and cooked to perfection. I wanted to try items I would not normally get at home. The person with me got the hot dog with buffalo chili and it is delicious as well. This was a success and would go again next time I am in town.

A few nights ago we went to Lodos in Highlands Ranch. It was a little cold on the balcony so we went inside. They have a new menu since the last time I was there. They have a great selection of beer and appetizers and burgers. Good times!

Just went here yesterday for happy hour. I loved the avocado tower with chips and prosciutto pesto flat bread. Neither was what I expected, but both were pretty good (I would order them again). I had a Blue Moon beer (loved the orange), my BF had a Coors Lite. The vibe was okay, but felt kind of off. Maybe the fun begins later. we didn’t stay too long. Maybe the new time we’ll try the upstairs patio.

Come in for a drink and snack after flying back from Phoenix.
We sat at the bar service was a little slow at first but very friendly. The person who brought are food was very friendly and the bartender checked in on us as needed. Great choice of beer and the view was awesome! Ps downstairs had sound on for the game!!!
The avocado perfect! Overall a great place to grab a beer watch a game and get some food!

Have been here a few times and overall enjoy the layout and atmosphere. The upstairs is our place of choices as it’s full of windows and the huge bar is a bonus, esp during football time. Downstairs is a bit dark for my liking.
I love that they offer Wild cider (local) and recently they’ve consistently offered their pineapple flavor. Food has been tasty overall. I most recently had their chicken nachos and the queso was the best part. The chicken wasn’t seasoned and all of the lovely toppings made the middle chips turn to soup and were inedible. But the black beans were delicious and the habanero tomatoes were unique. Previously I’ve had the seafood chowder and ordered the caprese salad but instead received a dressing-​less tossed salad.
Consistent issues we’ve faced are with regards to service. We usually sit at the bar and receive patchy (though friendly) service. Slow greeting times even though we’re right in front of the staff, order blunders, and slow resolution to requests/​corrections. Food is all brought up from the downstairs kitchen and so if they forgot something or have to correct your order, you’re in for a wait.

Decent bar food. I’ve been impressed by everything I’ve gotten here– burgers, tacos, salads, etc.
Lunch gets a little busy and is hit or miss. I’ve been here 3 times and during two of the three, service was prompt, but one it was slow. Couldn’t fault the server, as it looked like she was covering a ton of tables.
The patio has a great view and there are tons of TVs in the bar areas. Extensive happy hour and cocktail list.

I dislike posting negative reviews– but sometimes overall bad experiences need to be known.
My girlfriend Jenn spotted the large patio from the highway and decided we should stop for food before heading out of town.
Unfortunately for numerous tables seated on the open air patio at this suburban Lodo’s location poor service, food quality and overall attitude were abundant yesterday afternoon.
Maybe the servers who were scheduled for Sunday afternoon weren’t this location’s «A-​Team»?
Maybe the upstairs hostess was overly aggressive with seating the outdoor patio tables? (It was a beautiful Colorado afternoon after all)
We found ourselves being seated next to three other tables all with menus closed and hungry/​confused looking families.
Before we were greeted by the manager and reassured they were «doing their best today» — another 2 tables were seated next to ours.
Maybe the waitstaff were having personal issues with each other?
We ordered from the manager — I ordered the flatbread pizza and Jenn ordered Ahi Tuna Salad. Then we were again reassured that things were being handled by our server (whom we still had not seen)
10 mins later another hostess came to our table with questions about who had the Sweet Potatoes (?) umm.
While battling my hunger mixed with the overwhelming urge to be a complete tool– I responded with a bland «we didn’t order Sweet Potato».
10 mins later the same food came out to our table being carried by a server (who would later be our server evidently)
«Who had the salad?» she asked. Jenn asked to look at the salad to see if it was the one she ordered= salad was set in front of her. I got the other plate which looked to be two English Muffins sliced in half and toasted with some cheese and arugula on them. I informed her that I ordered the flatbread pizza. She said this was flatbread and walked off.
Hhhmmmm. okay.
The English Muffin creation was tasty at least but not very filling. I ordered some Buffalo Chicken Tenders when our server came back around again. Jenn’s Ahi Tuna looked tasty but the rest of the bowl was mainly iceburg lettuce and a few chopped up bits of other random veggies such as bean spouts and carrots. Not really a «premium salad» but still healthy.
The chicken tenders arrived warm– but not above the 85 degree air temperature. They had an interesting sort of panko breadcrumb batter. I was hungry but not hungry enough to palate more then two or three of the 10 or so in the bowl because of the 3 year-​old doggie chew toy feel when trying to eat them.
When our server came back by she asked if I needed a box to take the rest of the chicken away– I informed her we needed to get going and the chicken was truly un-​edible. She asked why I ate over half of it if I didn’t like them? Well– 2 or 3 pieces is hardly over half of 10.
Nothing motivates me to leave the tip line blank like poor service, poor food and an argumentative server– just saying.
She did come back with our bill and informed us that her manager «did us a favor and removed the chicken from our check».
Ummm– excuse me? But if the management is trying to do me a favor– shouldn’t THEY be the ones to inform me of their generosity?
All in all a terrible experience.
I don’t know about the other tables seated all about the same time we were– but I’m hoping their afternoon meal wasn’t something (bad) to write about.

Needed something small to hold us over before dinner, so we came here during happy hour and got an order of buffalo wings and a Colorado Native.
The mountain view from the patio is absolutely gorgeous, even on a cloudy day.
The service was really good and the restaurant was very clean (top notch bathrooms). I enjoyed the wings; particularly the sweetness of the sauce.
Nice spot for a pit stop, and a really good experience.

The service was great and the turkey sandwich I had was pretty good. There are lots of TVs and they will change the channels to whatever game you want to watch, so go watch your sports there. My beef was with the tater tots in which they were very oily and I made the mistake of eating them in which my stomach ached for hours after I left the joint. Normally, tots are crunchy and we were in a hurry, but normally I won’t eat oily food like that. I did and paid a price all day, so I will never order those things again here. Otherwise, it’s not a bad place and we might be back again someday.

Yes, the view from the patio is great, but why can’t the service and food match? We stopped by yesterday about 6:00 p.m. for a light supper at the end of a motorcycle ride. There was room on the patio, so they weren’t slammed. The menu selections for vegetarians is lmited to appetizers – literalliy, not a single vegetarian entrée.
We were promptly greeted, but then waited 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive. We ordred the avocado corn tower, which was very good. It arrived about mid way through our first drink. We had ordered two more appetizers when our drinks were served and by the time they arrived the beverages were empty. We asked the server who brought the food to tell our waittress to bring us another round. We waited, and waited. The waittress swung by and confirmed that we wanted another round. (Does she not trust the other server?) Our food was completely gone by the time we received our second round of drinks. In a period of about 90 minutes we were served only two drinks. These weren’t anything fancy – an iced tea and a non-​alcoholic bottled beer. (Booze and Harleys don’t mix.)
The waittress shares some of the blame, as she would disappear behind the service bar for several mintues at a time, but the most striking thing while the place got busier was the complete lack of any management on the floor. By the time we left, the place was 80% full and there was no visible management support.
It’s too bad that a place can have such a good location that they no longer feel the need to deliver quality service or food. We asked for a pizza without meat on it, and were told that it could not be done because the pizzas were pre-​made. (Can you spell FROZEN PIZZA?) I can buy a frozen pizza a throw it in the oven at home.
I hate seeing companies benefit from a community without having a commitment to delivering the quality that their customers in that community expect.

Bar food restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Huge TVs and fun environment. My parents and I went here for lunch and there was not the best selection for vegetarians or even vegans a lot of meat free or dairy free options. I have a dairy allergy and their fries came covered in Parmesan in which I didn’t know and was a real disappointment. The waiters were very helpful and brought me a fruit cup out instead.

Food is decent bar food, but their selection of drinks and the absolutely oustanding patio is what brings me in consistently. Love their happy hour! Just wish it went a little later so I don’t feel so bad for sticking around ha ha. That patio truly makes all of the difference. Even if you don’t get a spot outside during the summer, they have the «garage» doors up and the entire upstairs is enveloped in the beautiful summer day or evening. It’s perfection.
The nightlife there isn’t my first choice, as it gets crowded with some interesting people. I’m just there to chill and drink my Summer Shandy, ya know?

I really think that this place can be a fun place to go however it is always overly noisy and the service can be spotty.
The thing that can be said about this particular location is that they have an awesome rooftop bar with expansive views of the mountains to the west. During nice days you can expected to have a long wait time as people enjoy a long and leisurely meal with drinks and soaking up the Sun on the rooftop deck.
Those are the reasons for the 3 stars. As for the food it’s really isn’t anything spectacular you can pretty much enjoy just about any fried food options but as far as there being a big draw for a reason to come here it isn’t the food. They have the standard bar and burger and salad there but certainly nothing to rave about. This place is all about being seen and being in «the» place see the views.
