Cherry Cricket Littleton

Had lunch here on Sat. ( 03/30/2024 ) and it was pretty good! Went with the onion rings to start and they were good. Only suggest they make the onion cut a bit thicker as only a few had more onion than breading. That said, the batter is good! Could be cooked a little less but overall they have great onion rings! The Cherry Cricket sauce was good but a little to sweet for my taste. I was charged 75 cents for it, seems like it should not be an upcharge. I'd suggest ranch with them but ask if it's extra. Did the Locust Cider and it was a great 10oz pour. Not sweet like a lot of ciders and complimented the food. I went with the 1/2 pound cricket burger (11) which was nice and big! After adding all the toppings it was a 16.25 burger. (Aioli, Jalapenos, pepper jack, green chili.) Again, just saying that things like aioli and sauces should probably not be an upcharge. ( With that stuff it reminds me of airlines, everything seems to have a little extra charge. ) Also, the one slice of tomato was weird. 2 should be the regular on a 1/2 burger.

• When you get messy toppings, a dinner plate would be better as the small basket was difficult to work with after the green chili and egg yoke. I felt like I hade to be super careful to not cutting through the paper when splitting the burger. At least a plate size basket would help. I used the small plate the napkins came on to work through it. It came as ordered aside from an over easy egg on top? Funny I thought but no problem as they didn't charge me for it. The burger was cooked great to medium rare! Toasted bun was good but again, 2 bucks more for a pretzel bun that I didn't get seems excessive. I had thought they over salted the meat but after tasting the green chili that I had put on the burger, that was what was overly salty. I suggest you taste the green chili before putting it on the burger. I had the other half of the burger without the Chili and it was great. Overall the service was great, atmosphere and food really good. I think if they take sauces off the upcharge, and get the onion rings a bit more chunky it would be a home run. I'm just a lowly patron so please check them out. The parking lots get full for a reason! Great place!

After note: I got ice water and it smelled/tasted a little off. Could be that I'm in Broomfield and this is Littleton. May be the tap water is just a little different down there. Please check it out and if that's the case, cool! Otherwise I could only say that the bar lines and soda guns may need to be flushed / cleaned.

I hope this review was helpful. Just giving my experience and if it helps make it better, that's the goal! :)
