The Berkshire

I had the pork tenderloin and it was excellent. Had a taste of my companion’s burger and it was yum. Good service and quiet atmosphere. Want to go back to explore more menu options!
Went back for lunch December 2015 and had an equally great experience. Had a chicken salad that I would confidently order as my Last Meal: nicely seasoned chicken breast over spinach with lemon ricotta, pomegranate seeds, blood orange sections, and bacon. It was fabulous! Service was good, although the food took a while to arrive. Totally worth the wait, though. Love this place!

Great selection of craft beers with rotating seasonals. Solid wine list with ½ price bottle specials. Appetizers and or main course centered around bacon and pork. If you don’t like the sound of this, you shouldn’t come here to eat or drink.

Overall very good restaurant.
I started with the chocolate porter. This was the most chocolaty chocolate porter I’ve ever tried. And it’s good!
Then i ordered the bacon wrapped bacon. Very tasty but i don’t think the inside is bacon, more like fatty pork shoulder. Either way, very good. And the bonus is that it’s served with an apple arugula salad that is sweet and tart and really compliments the pork.
I had the beet salad for an entrée. Lots of different color beets. I didn’t care for the toasted hazelnuts. I would have preferred walnuts. And I didn’t really like the weird, skinny plate it was served on. When it came out it looked like an appetizer. But the overall flavor and texture was good.
And it seems that unless you have a reservation, expect ton sit at a high top table.

Not going to be a favorite, but definitely a repeat. The pork-​themed sports bar serves breakfast lunch and dinner to diners who commonly have a bit of a wait, just to get in the door.
The bread pudding appetizer mentioned in several reviews is okay, but on the small side. They make decent breakfast cocktails, and the breakfast sandwich I ordered was pretty good.
Service was good, considering the crowd. Overall a fairly good meal, better than an ihop or egg and i, but not quite up to Denver brunch standards.

Had a quick (ish) bite before we headed to a show. Ordered fried tomatoes to share and they were delicious but pricey and a pretty small portion (I think this was $ 7 – 8 for 3 slices but cannot find it on their online menu to verify-​sorry). Also had a BLT with avocado. The kitchen forgot the avocado but the server brought it promptly and took it off the bill. I would have liked to have more time and ordered a bigger meal but we had to rush. I like the menu but felt it was a little pricey. Will try it again when we have more time.

Holy bacon! Do yourself a favor and dig into the bacon flight!
And for the adults in your group, get yourself a chocolate milk ;)
And if you have a chance, ask to sit in Julie’s section. She’s amazingly funny.

Food was delicious, started with bacon wrapped bacon and the watermelon goat cheese salad for the table to share, both were AWESOME. I had the Cuban Sammy, others at the table got the cauliflower quinoa (which was surprisingly good) and pork chops-​YUM. Server Ashley was great. Have been to brunch there which we loved, first time for dinner. We will be back!

I’m trying to remember if there is any reason to give this place less than five stars and I can’t think of one.
Service was great, food was delicious and they have a great menu.
I had the Bacon wrapped bacon. It was delicious! How an you go wrong with this dish?
I also had the charcuterie plat and a serving of the manchego cheese. Nice size portions and really tasty Italian meats. The bacon onion relish (I think that’s the name of it) was great with bread… or without!
I’ll definitely be back when I am in the area.

My roommate and I have been here for both dinner and brunch in the past couple weeks. Both of us were very happy with our choices. When we came for dinner we split the pig wings and a charcuterie plate. The cheese/​salami plate was a little on the small side but it was delicious. The pig wings were so good, I ordered more to take home to my husband.
For brunch today, I got an Irish Coffee (very strong) and my roommate and I shared the frittata and the country fried eggs Benedict. We sat outside around 10am, and we were done with all our food and had paid by 10:45. Service was friendly and pretty typical for a good restaurant.
Prices may be a little on the higher side, but I’ve enjoyed all the food I have had there. I outside both times and I felt the atmosphere was pleasant.

Saw this place on Unilocal.Mimosas are decently priced for bottomless. Our waitress was new. So it took over 25 minuets to get our food AFTER we got our starter. The food was very tasty but 20 min wait for food after we received our appetizer was a bit much. Mimosas would be better if chilled. All in all nice atmosphere and food was good. Just a little wait and felt forgotten about.

I’ve eaten here for dinner and was really impressed, however, my brunch experience last weekend left a lot to be desired. There were flies continually dive bombing our table in the corner, and even though we arrived before the huge crowds of people (who rolled in around 10), we still waited 40 minutes for our food to arrive. Had to have my benedict boxed up so I could rush out the door to be on time for the rest of my day. Turns out it wasn’t really that tasty, either, for the price (over $ 11 for a benedict!).
Highlight — The bacon jalapeño bloody was pretty tasty.

I really want to love The Berkshire but in the end I always find myself saying it’s a 3 star restaurant. I’m really trying to get over what I consider to be a bad interaction with who I assume was the manager but I’m struggling to do so.
Arrived on a Monday night at about 7:30 pm with a party of two. Came in and was chatting with the hostess. A guy comes up who appears to be the manager, interrupts our conversation & says party of two. Yes. You have a reservation? No. It’s about 20 – 30 minute wait unless you want to set outside or at the bar. Great, we’ll set outside. Out we go, about 6 tables in a row; one couple at the end of the row by the door that leads outside. We are guided to the farthest end of the patio and they seat us there in the farthest back corner of the patio.
I order the flight of Sauvignon Blanc wine which is 4 glasses. The waiter & the manager bring the wine out and one of the glasses clearly has less wine than the other three. They’re lined up in a row, you can’t miss it. I jokingly say to the manager, did you forget to fill this one? He responds, «that looks like two ounces to me, the others are over filled». I’ll tell you right now, that’s the wrong answer. Maybe he’s right but I expect four equally filled glasses. It was interesting to note the short glass was the only one that was sold exclusively by the bottle. I’d hypothesis they ran a tad short and didn’t want to open a new bottle of something that is only sold by the bottle.
To complete the story we had a perfectly good meal. The food was tasty, the prices were probably a few dollars too high for the portion but it was a very serviceable meal. What I really loved was a crostini they served me with vanilla bean goat cheese & fresh strawberries that came with the wine flight. Awesome flavor.
As we were leaving I couldn’t help but comment to my dinner companion we had sat there for 90 minutes & the restaurant was never even close to being full. We could look through the window and see empty tables all night long so why the heck was there a 20 – 30 minute wait for an inside table?
My take away is the manager, maybe the owners, are a little too impressed with themselves & their restaurant. I like pork, it’s a cool concept. I hate being treated poorly. I hate overpaying for what I’m receiving. You’re not doing me a favor by letting me into your restaurant. Treat me well and I’ll write great reviews & leave 25−30% tips. Treat me rudely and I’ll never be back unless the food falls into the simply amazing category. My summary; good food but a bit overpriced. I’m subtracting one star for what I consider to be bad management.

This was such a pleasant surprise finding this place.
My brother, dad, and I were looking for a place to get some breakfast. Unfortunately, our other option had over an hour wait. We were ready to leave the complex and search for another place, however my dad stopped and saw that the woman eating outside the Berkshire was eating breakfast, and since my brother wanted breakfast for his birthday, we decided to stop there.
The ambiance is very attractive. They play music by artists such as Tame Impala, The Killers, and other mixtures of great bands. The theme is centered around Bacon, and pork.
Food: ⁵⁄₅: What the quantity of the food lacked, it highly made up for it in quality. I ordered a breakfast burrito. It arrives, keep in mind, as a wet burrito. It was half the size of normal burritos, but this was no matter. This burrito was made from the freshest ingredients, it was a very high quality meal. It was delicious and fresh with every bite, not to mention tingling with a great variety of sauce and other ingredients. It was so good, and that caught me by surprise. My brother, who ordered the same thing, also felt the same way. My dad ordered the bacon pancakes and found that they worked really well for him. He ate all of it, and was a new fan of them.
Service: ⁵⁄₅: What is it about Denver and excellent waiters? The staff was nothing short of wonderful. They got us a great booth, were constant and attentive during the entire meal, and overall made our experience better and treated us like family. I mean what else can you really ask. Five star service is the only way to describe it, they did everything I could ever need/​want.
Price: ⁵⁄₅: Great and fair. You’re paying for some higher quality ingredients, which you can certainly taste. Prices are extremely fair, I even finished my burrito and agreed with my brother, I would have paid more for it, it was that good.
Overall: Yes, yes yes! I was boggled by how great my experience was vs. how Unilocal reflected this place. Maybe the stars aligned when I came, or maybe this place is as good as I think it is. Regardless, I’m a new fan.

6−24−15 It was ok, could have been great if my entrée was delivered hot and not a 40 minute wait at 1:30 pm in the afternoon. Service was great and the pig wings came out hot and quick and where very good ! Then had the Berkshire ground pork burger with a cucumber infused oil and vinaigrette salad.
The salad was top notch but the pork burger was stone cold. I was in a hurry to catch a plane so I just ate the cold pork burger (after a 40 minute wait with hardly no one in the place) not on my top ten list to try again in the Denver area but might give them another try.

It was okay on a Sunday (May 31). We were a little disappointed as the offerings were limited. I think the pork options could have been more diverse.
Service was okay. When we were seated our server (female) was a bit rude, but warmed up after we were served.
Would I return? Probably not. It was an experience.

two things that are must orders the bacon wrapped bacon, which is pork belly confit wrapped in bacon as well as the bacon flight, which is 4 strips of thick bacon of different flavors. the fruit at the end somehow is supposed to identify what they are. Bacon is so soft you can cut it with a fork and it doesn’t shatter. Definitely not Kosher, Halal or vegan friendly. If you’re one of those three, try the bloody Mary and have them hold the bacon strip.

Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon BACON! The Bacon Flight was incredibly good. I think my favorite was the rosemary/​strawberry/​balsamic, but they were all delicious.
I’m not usually a burger fan but I had to try the Genius Burger, which had a deep-​fried slice of cheese and bacon. It was huge yet I managed to finish it all (and the fabulous sweet potato fries as well). I’m not in Denver often, but next time I’m back I will surely convince my brother to take me there again.

The best part of this place was the service. Our server was super friendly and accommodating. He even brought our dog water while we dined on the patio.
The food here is just OK. Their known for their bacon and pork so we had to get the bacon flight, which included 4 different types of bacon: garlic, curry, maple and herb. These were just OK. I would’ve expected the best bacon ever, but the bacon was just a bit too salty. It was cooked perfect and thick though.
We also got the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños and those were really good. It had some sort of marmalade glaze on top that was sweet and yummy. The bloody Mary’s looked really good but lacked in flavor.

Pork is a meat that I should eat more of!
To say I was intrigued by the offering of bacon wrapped bacon as an appetizer is an understatement. You can wrap awesome with more awesome!!! And it was true. And needless to say, awesome! The tenderloin was amazing, the beverages were adequate (normal restaurant prices, normal restaurant quality), and service was prompt, yet non-​intrusive (I’ll admit, that is one of my pet peeves).
I don’t believe this would be the best place for a vegetarian, but as the sign has a pig on it, I think the message is well presented.
Despite it’s location (or more properly my location) I know I will be back to sample more of their porcine pleasantries soon.

By far, my favorite restaurant/​bar outside of my usual hangouts in Downtown and NW Denver.
What sets this place apart, without a doubt, is the staff. This by no means is a knock on the food– it’s phenomenal… But the reason I continue to come back here is due to the great relationships I’ve established with the servers and bartenders. They get it. They know their audience and cater to it.
The Berk has been featured on a few Food Channel promoting their specialty, Bacon! They mix up their menu on occasion, but I’ve never had a pork chop I didn’t love.
If you ever stop by, treat yourself to the bacon flight. On paper it seems a bit pricey for 4 slices of bacon, but trust me, money well spent. And by the way, it’s quite filling.
They offer a killer weekend brunch menu and their cocktail and wine lists are impressive. If you’re in Stapleton (or anywhere close to Stapleton) you must swing by and enjoy the best meal you’ll find within shouting distance.
