| - You get what you pay for. Which is why I love the Roadrunner Saloon.
I first started coming here as a Denver Broncos fan. Everyone knows the Broncos have the best fans, and the Roadrunner made Sundays very special. Drink specials, kickoff shots, cheerleading, raffles for prizes, etc. It is loud and crazy and this upcoming season should be better than ever!
Ok, back to the review... I found a Groupon, $15 for $30. Already that's a steal, considering most of it could be spend getting liquored up. The fine print stated that 1 food item needed to be purchased. Perfect, side of fries and shots all around. Well, actually, I was more interested in trying the food. So we spend all 30.00 on grub.
Here's the breakdown:
Menu- it all looked interesting. Keep in mind this is bar food, no matter how they try to sell it. If you can remember that, you'll be fine.
Started off with the Jalapeño bottlecaps, fried pickles, and JD Whiskey Chili.
The jalapeños were just spicy enough, went great with ranch. Fried pickles were actually great, with a big beer batter and ranch. Real good.
The chili was ok too. Not the 5 alarm of your dreams, but better than Stagg in a can. It was tasty. Would I get it again? Maybe. I think I'm somewhat of a chili snob, but that shouldn't affect my judgement here. Lets just say for bar chili I've had so much worse. you might really enjoy it. Give it a shot, they sell it by the cup, you just have to ask.
Then we tried the turkey melt and the burger with bacon. The turkey met was wicked awesome. Bread perfectly buttered and toasted, nice hot deli turkey with avocado and mayo. It was great. I ate most of it, Sarie being full after the apps. I'd recommend the turkey melt over anything else I've had there. Im getting hungry just thinking about it.
The burger wasn't great. And that sucks, because why go get a beer in a place that can't make a decent burger? What was so bad about it, you may ask? Well, the bacon was, shall we say, less than inspired. Thin and dry; not the best look for bacon. The bun, however, was soaked through. Not the best look for a bun. The beef was cooked to a perfect medium but lacked flavor and wasn't seasoned, as far as I could tell. The fries were limp and a little cold.
BUT for $15 dollars it was a steal. That sandwich was great! The staff and managers are always in a good mood and do a really good job. So for bar food, it's great. Just go in with accurate expectations.
