Servers begging for tips

Went to the Appaloosa Grill downtown last night had a fairly mediocre and already somewhat overpriced group of appetizers. Time came to pay the bill and our server had to explain there was already a 20% surcharge on the tab that went to all the employees and then if we wanted to give any more tip, then that would go directly to him. I just think it’s a terrible position to put the server in because it makes the customer feel like they’re being taken advantage of both with the mandatory surcharge and then to have a server begging for tips on top of that it’s not good for anyone. It definitely made me want to avoid that restaurant in the future.

Where can I get basic Americanized Chinese?

I’ve been CRAVING the basic, westernized, crunchy sweet and sour chicken that I’d get as part of a 3 item lunch special in my hometown. Plain pan fried noodles, bbq pork, and deep fried crunchy chicken pieces with reddish orange sweet and sour. Picture is from hometown’s restaurant for reference.

Everything I’ve found has peppers in it, and I can’t have any at all. I want plain, but good. Preferably in the Parker area if possible. Bonus points for good crab Rangoon and fried rice 🙏

Jordy’s Barbecue is opening our first brick-and-mortar at the former Raíces Brewing space

Hey r/denverfood!
David here, owner of Jordy’s Barbecue.

After almost three years of running Jordy’s out of our trailer, we’re taking the next big step and getting ready to open our first brick-and-mortar at the former Raíces Brewing space on Colfax.

The concept is Central Texas-style barbecue with a sports bar atmosphere, smoked meats, cold beer, a full bar, plenty of TVs, and a bigger menu with some fun fried and crispy items alongside the BBQ.

Attached are two early 3D concept renderings of the direction we’re going with the space. They’re not the final finished design, but they give a pretty good idea of the overall look and atmosphere we’re aiming for.

If everything stays on track, we’re hoping to open in the next 2–3 months.

We’ve learned a ridiculous amount building this business out of a trailer, and we’re excited to finally bring Jordy’s into a full restaurant.

I know this group takes Denver food seriously, so I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts:

What would you want to see from a Central Texas BBQ + sports bar concept that would make you want to come back regularly?

Best,
David

I am coming to town for a wedding and would love to go to a bar to watch the eagles in London while we're in town. Are any Eagles Friendly bars going to be open?

Where can I get dim sum BBQ chicken skewers like this ?

Went to Wing Lee Bakery in San Francisco last month and I can’t stop thinking about these. Probably the best chicken I’ve had. Denver or Aurora?
