Bottom Line: Nothing special but food is good for the price. I would recommend. Atmosphere: Mid-light bar vibe with plenty of natural lighting during the day. Moderate noise level. They play a diverse variety of pop music including electronic. The tables are kind of close together but not too crowded. They have a very nice bar area and outdoor seating. Food: Happy hour is 3pm-6pm. I took advantage of the $4 Well Cocktails. These are basically any house cocktail with your choice of bottom shelf liquor and a mixer. They were very weak, but I can’t complain about a $4 drink. The menu makes the food look much better than they actually are. That’s not to say that the food isn’t good, but it’s not outstanding. The burgers just taste live standard burgers. They also have a nice variation of fries, but we only tried one. We got the truffle fries, cole slaw, and stadium nachos for our appetizers. The truffle fries were a bit too strong for my taste. The cole slaw was nice and creamy, but had an odd flavor that was kind of sour, more so than a standard slaw. Our waiter wasn’t lying when he said the stadium nachos were a BIG dish. Definitely enough for 4-6 people to much on before the entrees come out. This was my favorite dish. The slow cooked pulled pork was very juicy and tender. The pico de gallo added a sweet juicy touch with nice texture along with the corn We each got the “I Can’t Decide” option for the burgers. Instead of one half pound burger, you get two quarter pound “jumbo sliders” of your choice. We got The Perfect Burger, The Ring of Fire, The Durango, and The Queso Fundido. We cut all for burgers in half so that we could try a bit of each. They were all decent, but they all kind of tasted the same when their descriptions were very different. The one exception was The Ring of Fire which was so much spicer than I expected(good thing). That being said, the spiciness was the only good thing that set it apart from the others. I also didn’t like the texture of the patty on that burger. Service: Our server was very kind, attentive, and friendly. We had some nice back and forth banter which I greatly enjoy when a server can participate in. It makes me feel more comfortable and at home. Overall, it’s a decent spot, but nothing special. Food is average and prices are fair. I’d come back again

I recently visited 5280 Burger Bar and had a fantastic experience! The overall ambiance was a perfect blend of energy and relaxation, thanks to the exceptional music and vibe, which I would rate a solid 10/10. It set the tone for a memorable evening. The location is incredibly convenient, easily accessible and in a great spot that enhances the experience even more, deserving another 10/10 rating. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured our needs were met promptly, earning yet another perfect score. The drinks were undoubtedly the highlight of the night, achieving a flawless 10/10 with their inventive and delicious cocktails. Each drink was crafted with care and creativity, making it a must-try for any cocktail aficionado. As for the food, it was quite good. Although it didn't quite match the stellar experience provided by the drinks, music, and service, it still rated a commendable 7.5/10. The dishes were flavorful and well-prepared, but I felt there was room for a little more excitement or uniqueness. Overall, 5280 Burger Bar is a great spot for a night out, offering an exceptional atmosphere and top-notch service. I'll definitely be returning, especially for those incredible drinks!

Very delicious burger joint. They have a large list of appetizers and burger choices all to suit the preferences of many people. Our waiter Cory did a great job serving. The mushroom swiss is a creamy and rich burger. The perfect burger is also a fantastic burger, moist and delicious with a spike of flavor. The burgers are cooked to your preferred doneness. I got medium rare and sure enough it was cooked perfectly and not the kind of experience i had when I went to other restaurants. Our appetizers were hamburger eggrolls and chicken tenderloins. The eggrolls were delicious as it is cooked with ground beef on the inside (like a hamburger) and the chicken tenderloins were pretty much just chicken tenders. The catch with these appetizers are the various different sauces that they give you. My favorite consisted of the ring of fire (warning spicy and tangy) and the house sauce. The only complaint I have about this area is the lettuce they use for the hamburgers, although it is nothing to really complain about, everything about their food feels and tastes outstanding/beyond average except for the lettuce in the burger. Besides that I have absolutely no complaints. Fantastic experience with great service.

We had great burgers at this place! I had the "perfect burger" (soooooo delicious 🤤😋😋 the bacon onion jam was the star of the show!), husband had the I can't decide - so that was the "what the guac" and "the Durango" . The option of I can't decide is genius! It's basically 2 burgers that are a little larger than slider size, if you're in between wanting to try two different burgers. Both of those options were fantastic,but not better than the perfect burger. We also got truffle fries, which were great. It was more than enough food and we left with leftovers. Another person ordered the loaded fries and that was good. Fries could have been hot though.. Other than that, service was good and quick. Waiter very helpful! It was a little chilly in there, so bring a sweater. There was also a guy at the bar cursing up a storm while talking loudly on the phone... But the bartender noticed that he was beginning to be a bothersome to tables with children, so she engaged him in conversation. 👍🏽👍🏽 I was so glad about that!

I was in Denver for a conference and stopped by 5280 for dinner. I sat at the bar. One thing that impressed me was the fact that all three bartenders seemed to work together. There wasn’t one particular person that waited on me. They worked smoothly as a team. That was nice to see. I had a burger, beer, and truffle fries. They were yummy but the thing that hit the most was the s’mores sundae. I’m a big camper and don’t typically enjoy s’mores flavored things but the sundae was on point. The ice cream was super creamy. The toppings were not overwhelming but added to the dessert. I enjoyed my experience so much that I stopped by the 5280 in Westminster on my way up to RMNP. The food and service was not as great there and they did not offer the sundae so I was forced to return to the Denver location for the s’mores sundae one last time before flying home. If you’re willing to go to a restaurant three times in a week, you know it’s good. Give 5280 a try. You will not be disappointed.
