The 49th

We stopped in on a whim and my only regret is that it’s so far from our house!
The exterior almost made us turn away, but the reviews convinced us to try it. It’s in a strip mall. Small, not too loud inside. Simple, clean décor. Immaculate bathroom. No wait but I bet it would be full in the evening. Not many tables. Cheerful service staff and small but amazing menu.
Appetizer –crab and artichoke dip. Good enough to eat alone. We all tried to finish off the last bite. Delicious.
Denali burger was perfect. Juicy and well cooked. Best burger that we have had in a long time. We also got the grilled cheese with bacon, apple and avocado. Very good but it was hard to beat the elk burger.
Cobbler was more cake than traditional pie style cobbler but it was a nice finish.
We will definitely be back even though it’s out of the way for us.

So, we wanted to see a movie and had little time, but big hunger, so we used Unilocal to guide us here. So glad we tried this place. Love it! Great selection of beer and the food was outstanding. We told the wait staff that we had a tight schedule and she made sure everything go to us really fast!
It is in a strip mall, and to be honest, we probably would not have tried it. Lesson learned.
We will be back.

Coworker said he drives across town to go here and I live 2 miles away and I had never heard of it. It’s in a rundown strip mall with a massage parlor and cannabis store but the second you walk in you can see that it doesn’t look like the outside! The place was packed but found a seat right away and we were greeted almost instantly. Started with the crab dip and I ordered the salmon fish and chips. My wife had the Denali Jr burger with fries. We both really liked the dinner, the place and the prices. It will be in the rotation from now on!

I actually wasn’t that impressed. :/​I don’t know if it was just what I got? The Daliah Jr. So, the horseradish sauce is actually tasty but the burger was greasy and thick and lacked flavor, definitely a «restaurant burger» if that makes sense. So if that’s what you’re looking for then it’s a winner! But I got nauseous half way through.
My friend got the BLT and she said that was really good and that she loved the bacon! I also thought the bacon was cooked well, but was way over-​seasoned, and I freaking love me some bacon so… So I would maybe try something different to give it a second chance?
The house chips were SUPER bland, just a slice of potato put in flavorless oil. The fries were double fried, which I like! But seasoned not very well either. The service was awesome though, I’ll give them that! :)
I don’t know, I was very shocked because I always check out Unilocal for my next lunch or dinner experience, and to me this fell short.

Someone at The Office mentioned this place so I thought I would Google it
Food looked Good, Unilocal reviews looked good and it is close to home.
It is in an unassuming strip mall but what a surprise as soon as you walk in the front door!
Resembles a log cabin and has a great fireplace in the corner
We have gotten take out many times and eaten in a few times and I have no complaints
I feel they have a small menu but everything we’ve had is excellent!
I would say the service is excellent as well!

Good food, large portions, and decent prices. Place is unique and clean and their menu isn’t one you can get lost in. Simple and good
Hasn’t been too crowded the couple of times I went, and the service was nice. Will be back again

Good food and nice variety of beer. Danielle was helpful in getting samples and was attentive. The bartender appeared very friendly. Definitely will come back.

Great place! Don’t be afraid when you pull up to a strip mall. It’s worth the trip inside!

Amazing. Family owned and managed by good people who really care about the business and customers. In from out of town and had to come back a number of times. The food — you can’t go wrong with anything off the menu. Denali burger my favorite along with the chips. Casual — great music — great customer service. They have infused vodka. Favorite is the horseradish vodka in bloody Mary served with an abundance of treats. Also, if your on business and need a «nerd» corner with plug in — they got it.

Needed a burger tonight and happened upon «The 49^th;» named for the 49^th state of these United States (if you don’t know, I’ll tell you-it’s Alaska, don’t worry about Googling it.)
If you want a crazy-​good burger and some of the coldest, flavor-​packed beers known to man, this is your place. It’s more small bar than restaurant but it has a homey feel about it. Service is top shelf. I was greeted immediately upon entering and offered a table.
The «hangover burger» concept wasn’t unique as I’ve had burgers topped with eggs before. What was unique was the combination of elk/​beef burger cooked perfectly medium topped with cheddar cheese, home cured and wonderfully crispy bacon (thick), French fries and an over easy egg somehow fit inside a lightly toasted part roll/​part bun. It was amazingly juicy, perfectly seasoned, not «over-​cheesed» and didn’t need one single condiment. I garnished the burger with an order of home fried pub chips that were good enough. I complimented the hangover with an ice-​cold APA from Alaska (several beers to choose from including the standard pedestrian beers that Denver is famous for).
There is really something for everyone here; great appetizers, fish, burgers, fill-​in-​the-​blankaterian options and homemade mac and cheese (wish I had room to try this but no).
Thanks again Unilocal for pointing me to a little piece of a state I may never get to. I’m going to order elk from my local butcher and see if I can duplicate the hangover. Even if I can, I’ll be back to the 49^th.

What an awesome place that we randomly came across after coming home from the mountains! We were greeted by a friendly gentleman in a wonderful, clean, Alaskan themed atmosphere. We came in for lunch, just completely randomly picked this spot and I am so glad we did.
We were starving so ordered a bowl of chili first thing. That day they had elk chili which was so outstanding! We didn’t get beers but they had a great selections. The service was on point for the entire meal. The salad I had was excellent, my guy loved his food as well. We will definately be back to try everything else on the menu!

Wonderful place to gather and socialize. We popped in for a late lunch and I was overwhelmed by the incredibly friendly greetings and service we experienced. Feels like everyone’s favorite locals hangout. We ordered lunch and apps. I thought the food was closer to a 3 star except my turkey sandwich was fabulous. Regardless, the ambiance, service and food combine to create a strong four star experience. I suspect if we had enjoyed some of the local specialty cocktails or brew, this establishment would have soared to 5 stars! Don’t miss if in the neighborhood! Cheers!

The best food in Littleton! The staff are so friendly and always remember you. They have the best burgers. The pub chips are amazing and so is the grilled cheese, got to add bacon! Yummy! We eat here at a minimum of once a week and have never had a bad experience.

Admittedly, I have not visited Alaska yet, but I figure visiting The 49^th gets me a little closer to a trip to Alaska…
Ryan K. came to The 49^th on a snowy, cold Denver evening, which we found fitting for our first time to The 49^th. The place stays very busy, even early on a Friday night – however, just put your name on the waitlist and you’ll surely be seated in a relatively short amount of time.
There’s a feeling of coziness at The 49^th that really makes you feel like you have been transported to a small mountain town – cozy atmosphere/​lighting, friendly servers and bartenders, and delicious food = a GREAT combo.
We waited about ten minutes and then got seats at the bar. Beer lovers, rejoice: a decent number of both Alaskan and local Coloradan beers are on tap. Our bartender and server, Josh, is also the owner of The 49^th: very kind and accommodating guy.
For food, we ordered:
— The Deadliest Catch Crab Dip: a very creamy and rich dip, served with raw veggies and warm baguette slices. Flavorful and filling! $ 9.95
— Kenai Crab Cake Sandwich: Yum! I haven’t had such a delicious crab cake sandwich in quite awhile. Tasty 49^th sauce on the crab cake and the price is really reasonable for the amount of crab cake: $ 12.95
— Cordova Chipotle Glazed Salmon: Ryan K. ordered this and thoroughly enjoyed the entrée. The salmon flaked perfectly and was served over aromatic rice and veggies.
We’ll definitely return to The 49^th soon again!

Best bar in town! This place is somewhat tucked away but «wow» this is definitely the best bar I’ve been to in the area!
All the burgers are a combination of beef and elk meat, which goes along with the Alaskan theme perfectly. The food is mouthwatering and very well priced, they also offer daily specialty drinks/​entrees which is a very nice addition to their menus.
The service is what sets this place apart! From the amazing waitress to the kitchen manager and bartender/​owner everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We ended up staying all the way up to closing just talking to the bartender and kitchen manager.
Overall I cannot speak any higher of this place! It surpassed all of my expectations. I recommend this place for all occasions.

Great bar food– fantastic burgers.
Cute Alaskan theme, lots of antlers and bears etc.
Alaskan beer on tap. Great personable waitress. A hidden gem.

Generally enjoyable and fun experience.
Place was packed, but staff was pretty quick, polite, and didn’t take too long for anything.
Beers were cold, food was pretty decent. Fish and chips were kind of soggy. Should have had the burger!

Found this little hidden gem on Unilocal (restaurants near by). Would never had known this place existed, nor, would have given it a try seeing the outside appearance (strip mall). BUT, So happy we did! Food was tasty and delicious and the service was outstanding! We will defiantly come back here, again, and again to soon take on «regulars».
The drinks in mason jars were a hit, as was the «duck fart» — try it! You will be happy you did!

Thanks Unilocalers! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this place! We live around the area and I just happened to come across this place as I was scoping out new restaurants. Just like the others say: it looks like a dive esp. From the run down strip mall it’s in. It is a TOTAL GEM!
When you walk in it is completely different then the exterior appearance. It looks like an Alaskan cabin inside. The bartender was also our waitor as it was a Sunday and they weren’t overly packed so there was one waitress for half the bar and the bartender was a waitor for the other half. He did an excellent job and was very nice as I asked him a bunch of questions regarding what the best choices were for food. The menu had a variety of things to pick from but it wasn’t overly extensive– everything looks appetizing! We got the crab dip for an app and it was Excellent– it came with an assortment of fresh veggies to dip and French bread. YUM! For the entrée I got the elk Bourbon Burger that had a berry jam, blue cheese and fried jalapeño on top of it with a side of steak fries! It was absolutely delicious — I highly recommend this Burger. My hubs got the crab cake Burger, it was great too but too fishy for my liking!
The beers came in Mason jars in 2 different sizes and were a decent price! The Alaskan White is what I had and it was a really tasty beer. They also have a Pay It forward board that was interesting. Check it out when you’re in The 49^th, pretty cool concept! We will be back!

Came in yesterday and had excellent service on a quick business lunch. Food was great.
Décor was «upscale log cabin.»
