Salt Grinder - Denver

If you’re going to force a mandatory 20% tip for takeout orders, please make them correctly lol. This restaurant is part of a large restaurant conglomerate that can absolutely pay their employees but they choose to push it on to the public instead. Pretty mid-low food here. There are other restaurants on 32nd that are much more deserving of your business.

Great little spot for lunch.The staff were super friendly and kind.Me and my partner ordered the rare beast and chopped with a side of coleslaw and truffle fries. It was delicious! The wait time after ordering was fairly quick also.

Food is tasty enough, average, but it’s the slowest 5 ingredient sandwich I’ve ever waited for in my life. Also they charge a non transparent ‘included gratuity’ and still ask for a tip. (POS screen does not show you the price breakdown when you pay/sign) You order at counter, and have to bus your own tray. Won’t be returning.

The food here is great, the drinks are good, and we really like going here. Different foods for different moods. Sandwiches, burgers, salads, etc. They took the Tigs off the regular menu, which broke my heart, but they have a variety of other selections. The Frankie is a great sandwich and my other go-to. Always check out the special too. They have a HH I hear, although we have never been to it. I just dock a star because it is odd service each time and seems a little disjointed. It is counter service, but they still pack on the post-pandemic 22% service charge. I get adding a 18% or 20% gratuity, but 22% is higher than the normal tipper and a little off. I had the Firestarter last time (pictured) and it was pretty solid. Worth checking out, and it is located on a fun street to go exploring after.
