Junction Food & Drink — Restaurant in Denver

Super fun. Great IPA, which our group had outside with chips and queso from the taco place. Then we went back into the food hall to order dinner. So hard to decide. It all looked amazing. People had shwarma, nachos, other deliciousness. I plan to go back to the sushi place, the burger place and the charcuterie place. Loved it and had a great experience! Can't wait to return with other friends and neighbors.

Couple suggestions, because we would love this place to succeed.

Dim down the bright streetlights on the outside seating and add some string lights to create a warmer more intimate feel out there.

Put a sign on Evans at the light rail entrance: "Enter here for Junction food hall". Then put tons of other signs directing to parking once people enter that maze. "Junction parking this way", and others saying, "Additional parking in deck - free!". The confusion of driving around near the movie theater and Dave and Busters put us in less than a good feeling place as we entered the food hall.

Turn the music down a shade, and have live music sometimes. Put them out there near the entrance to the movie theater. Then people can mill around out there. Some rustic picnic tables and tents would make it more inviting. Go to Edgewater Public Market to see an example.

Advertise a bit more. I don't think people...

I was really excited about this place when I first heard about it and have been rooting/supporting it since it opened but after having been there a few times and trying just about every restaurant there, I gotta say that I don't know what the other reviewers are smoking! Nice concept of an "upscale food court with a bar" but the food is not great. Just about anywhere you go will cost you $15-$20 for lunch!

Big Wave Taco - Ate there yesterday and the meat on the tacos was completely torched and crunchy (no tenderness or moisture at all). The tortilla was soaked and mushy from whatever topping that was on there.

Pete's-A-Pie - Ok, just a bit greasy. I had to hold my pizza vertically for about 30 seconds to let the grease run off of it.

Mr. Miners Meat & Cheese - Not bad, just ridiculously overpriced.

Shawarma Shack - No flavor.

Ebisu Ramen - No flavor.

Cleaver & Co. - Had a chicken sandwich. Pretty good but still pricey!

Lazo - Ok but their empanadas are pre-manufactured and run through a salamander. Kinda like an upgraded hot pocket.

Junction Bar - Haven't tried it yet but have a feeling I'll need to take out a small loan when I do!

No axe to grind here, just being honest because it appears none of the other reviewers can be. Come on, Junction! You can...

Junction Food & Drink saw a need and absolutely rose to the occasion. As the Denver metro area expands and sees an influx of young professionals, there's a big need to serve an increasing demographic of Millennials, and capturing that target market isn't easy!

Junction has gone the route of catering toward our indecisiveness, preference for aesthetic, and nostalgia. Offering a ton of different types of cuisines really enables bringing together groups of picky eaters! Additionally, there aren't really bad options here, so I think you'll see a surge of folks going back for seconds of what their friends just ordered too! The quality of food is great, presentation is solid, and the fact that there's a full bar really completes the needs for a great Young Professional hangout spot.

As a kid who grew up in the 90s, the food court is a bastion of my childhood, and Junction delivers on calling back to those fond memories, but in an upscale way that also caters to my (slightly more refined) palate. There's a good amount of seating (both indoors and outdoors) and there are sections of the outdoor seating that have heaters available as well. Overall, I'd say get a group of friends together and give...
