Cheap Places to Eat in Parker

"There’s nothing unique about cheap pizza—except when it’s brought to you by the team behind Frasca Food and Wine, consistently named one of Colorado’s best restaurants. Pizzeria Locale’s two Denver locations may be fast-casual (order at the counter) joints, but there’s no skimping on quality here. Go-to options include the prosciutto and arugula and the Mais, which is topped with ham, corn, and crème fraiche."

"If you can’t tell from this picture, this is the best darn pizza in the state of Colorado. Fresh, homemade dough and local, organic ingredients baked together in a traditional brick oven makes these pizzas taste like they’re right out of Naples, Italy. Simple ingredients and traditional methods make Pizzeria Locale a must."

"This popular Chinese restaurant is always busy with loyal customers seeking to indulge in what is said to be the best dim sum and seafood dishes in town. Don’t let the strip mall location deceive you, because once you enter, you’re greeted with the smell of fresh dim sum at Denver’s best dim sum place. Don’t believe the hype?"

"This sprawling dining room is a party during weekend brunch, with dim sum carts rolling out small plates of traditional Chinese cakes, buns, dumplings and noodles. It’s best experienced with a group for optimal tasting and sharing."

"Denver may not have its own Chinatown like some bigger cities, but that doesn’t mean we’re lacking in stellar Chinese cuisine."

"Perfect for date night or a celebratory dinner, Matsuhisa Denver is an upscale dining experience for sushi enthusiasts. This posh restaurant is actually one of 40 locations found around the world, and each location produces impeccable food and rave reviews. From caviar to waygu beef, the menu is speckled with uniquely delicious Japanese dishes."

"Starch up the collar of your best button-up or step into your tallest heels, and finally fulfill that dream of ordering a $700 bottle of sake. This is the see and be seen place in Denver, and thankfully they also have really good fish. As part of the Nobu family, it’s a given that you’ll get a great meal here."

"Specialty oyster dishes, a large sushi variety, and cocktails that resemble works of art are just the tip of the iceberg. World-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa provides Japanese-Peruv..."

"This Speer neighborhood restaurant may be more than halfway into its fourth decade, but based on the 30-minute-plus wait you’re likely to face on any given night, it’s got another four in it (not to mention a new-ish sibling in Littleton, attached to Carboy winery, that opened in 2016). A maze-like floor plan and stained-glass windows give it a charming, well-worn quality, while the menu marries a classic oyster bar with a neighborhood Italian joint. Once you’ve had your fill of bivalves—raw on the half-shell or char-grilled and topped with garlic, butter, and Pecorino cheese (among other options)—you can move onto pizzas and pastas, all of which are made from scratch daily."

"Sixth Ave., is another prime choice, with Yelpers giving the bar and Italian eatery, which is known for its seafood and wine, 4.5 stars out of 993 reviews."

"North Italia is another of the best Italian restaurants in Denver. This Italian chain eatery does not disappoint with its Denver outpost, serving a large menu of Italian favorites ..."

"This farmhouse space is bright, airy, and full of character. The exposed brick and wooden features contrast beautifully with the orange, green, and white decor throughout, offering..."

"Luckily, they don’t have to at this casual, Grateful Dead-influenced wing shop, which serves up vegan seitan “wings” along with its traditional chicken favorites. There is also a good selection of salads, a quinoa veggie burger topped with vegan mayo, and vegetarian-friendly munchies like fried pickles and sweet potato fries. This West Washington Park outpost is the new spinoff of the Highland original."

"Formerly known as Former Future–yes, the famed airplane-wing bar is still there–brewer and co-owner James Howat went in a new direction to specialize in spontaneous and wild ales. Eschewing the quick money to be made by selling out to a huge beverage conglomerate as many small breweries sadly have, these folks are single-minded and relentlessly passionate in their quest to further the craft-brew movement and produce unusual, memorable, quality beer. Every Black Project beer is fermented with microbes captured from the local environment via a "coolship" or foraged from nature–think terroir in wines."

"Nobody does sour spontaneous fermentation in Denver like Black Project. Originally called Former Future, the brewery made “clean” beer styles until their sour experimentation yielded two GABF medals, which inspired them to change their name and switch entirely to sours. Black Project was the subject of one of our very first editorial series."

"Crazy Mountain Brewing Company sits in the heart of Lakewood near West Alameda Drive. This brewery has a lot of ales: Belgian style ale, amber ales, black ales, you name it. One of their most popular beers is the Mountain Livin’ American Pale Ale, a bright, hoppy, and tropical ale."

"Old 121 Brewhouse is just south of Crazy Mountain off Wadsworth. This neighborhood brewery is a cozy hidden gem with regularly rotating taps. Along with seasonal and experimental beers, Old 121 Brewhouse has a few flagship beers that are always available."

"Come to this Golden park at 6030 feet elevation and have it all, including some of the tallest slides in town!. You get great views of the foothills and the plains, and a modern playground with a tall tower (5 flights of stairs) and several spinners (including a flywheel that’s fun for adults, too). Plenty of grassy open space surrounds the play area, ideal for playing frisbee golf or running around."

"850 South Monaco Parkway 720-536-5455istanbulcafeandbakery.com. Head east to find delectable Turkish pastries both savory and sweet at this little bakery in a shopping center off Monaco and Leetsdale. Skip your boring morning bagel and sink your teeth into some açma, with a texture somewhere between a croissant and a bagel, or simit, somewhat like a circular pretzel coated in sesame seeds."
