The menu features a wide variety of distinctive made-from-scratch American favorites. The list includes everything from award winning burgers and BBQ Ribs to steaks and seafood. For starters try the Southwestern Rolls, Maryland Crab Cakes or the Artisan Cheese Plate. For salads there are the traditional such as the Cobb and BBQ Chicken to fresh classics like Spicy Pecan Gorgonzola Spinach with Pears and the Strawberry, Brie and Chicken Salad. Grilled sandwiches include the New Mexico Ribeye and ever popular French Dip, or try the Chicken Salad Sandwich made with pecans and dried tart cherries. Pastas include Spicy Penne with Italian Sausage and Lobster ?Mac? and Cheese. For those with a heartier appetite try the Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops with Mango Chutney, a full slab of tender BBQ Baby Back Ribs or the Oscar Filet. For seafood lovers the Bent Fork offers Seared Ahi or Grilled Marinat

In Short
From the giant fork door handle to the soft cushioned booths, this restaurant feels homey. Warm woods and comfortable tables in the bar are perfect for lingering from happy hour until the evening fades. The menu spans Southwestern rolls, Louisiana-sauced chicken sandwiches and salmon fish and chips. Sandwiches, giant salads and burgers offer a tasty, cheaper alternative to the house specials. For dessert there's a warm apple cobbler with ice cream.

This is a very refreshing restaurant and is widely known for its delicious hamburgers. It was ranked number 2 for best burger in the Denver area a few years ago. The prices are a little high but definitely worth it.

My husband and I were traveling to Denver for a medical procedure and I wanted to find something new to try. I found this resteraunt on here and thought it looked good! After a long day of traveling it was a perfect spot to wind down. We both had the soup and it was a great starter then he had the pesto pasta which was to die for. I had the meatloaf and it was the same. We could not stop talking about how wonderful it was. We ended up eating it again before we left! It is a must for some good food, and we will be going back again!!!
