    Less than 1 star!! Slow service despite empty restaurant. Waited too long to be seated, again NO ONE around. This is our 2nd visit to this location, and our 1st was about 1 yr ago when they first opened. We LOVED Tony Roma's while living in Miami, really loved it, best ribs ever!!! So naturally we were excited to see Tony Roma's here in Denver where we now live. Well our first visit was not memorable and a bit disappointing. We chalked it up to new, just opened. Well after almost a year, it's no better and possibly worse. The ribs SUCK, just awful! Driest, dried up meat ever. Sauce was mostly ketchup, not much other flavor. My full rack of ribs with fries $23, was less than room temperature. St Louis Ribs they were not, more like DRY baby back ribs. Overcooked too! Not sure why I didn't send it back, just too hungry to wait again. Food service was very slow on a slow night. My husband's beef medallions were way overpriced. 3 tiny pieces of beef with a small portion of mashed potatoes for $25??? What a joke. The bison meatballs appetizer was OK...but again NOTHING to make us ever go back to this place!! We spent $75 including tip, and truly robbed. I want my money back!! It's truly disappointing to pay so much for such horrible quality and quantity!! Definitely NOT going back there!! Way better steaks/ribs at other local restaurants for way less!! SHAME ON YOU Tony Roma's!! THIS was definitely NOT the Tony Roma's in MIAMI where we dined frequently!!!!!!!!

    in a time where some restaurants have thrown accountability for maintaining good customer service That’s not the case here. Upon arrival I was greeted and treated well by Stockton and the crew enjoyed a fabulous day on the patio and the lock-in shrimp is Fa sure one of my favorites and to top it off I had been traveling for the past few days so it felt really good to set down and get treated with great service everyone deserves to be treated that way some forget others don’t Stockton is on his A-Game

    Husband and I tried this place on a whim because the other two restaurants we wanted to go to were so busy they were not accepting walk-ins or had a two hour wait time. We came right at opening and were seated immediately. Drinks were great, appetizer was delicious and main courses were filling and very satisfying. Our waitress was attentive and informative, can't wait to return.

    We arrived at 5:30 and were "greeted" by a disheveled employee who walked up to our table and barked "what do you want to drink?" He literally looked like the only thing he was interested in was leaving as quickly as possible. I would soon understand that exact same feeling. We ordered a couple Happy Hour Classic Romaritas (margaritas @ $5 - normally $10) which were served in a pointless shaker without any salt on the glasses. We should have stopped right there as this was the highlight of our meal. The margarita had the taste of alcohol without seeming to actually have any of the intoxicating effect. These would be $2-3 anywhere else. Since it was Happy Hour we ordered some Crispy Cajun Onion Rings ($5). What arrived at our table ten minutes later was the worst onion rings I've ever tasted. I ate one while my wife was on her phone, and immediately spat it right back out. I waited to see my wife's reaction and her face told me everything I need to know. Imagine if raw onions were tossed in plain flour and then fried. Beyond being flavorless (CAJUN?!?) the texture was dry, brittle, and I spent another ten minutes picking the residue out of my teeth. I asked to have them taken off the bill. We had ordered a full rack of their "World-Famous Baby Back Ribs" ($21) and a full rack of their Beef Ribs ($25). These are both served with french fries and coleslaw. At 6:00pm our disheveled server suddenly showed up at our table in his street clothes, proclaimed "I'm leaving - someone else will be taking care of you" and promptly left the restaurant. Didn't introduce us to another server, and it was obvious the only employees in the entire restaurant was a bartender and what I am assuming was the "manager", who initially sat us at our booth. OK So around 6:10pm, roughly half an hour after we ordered in this almost empty restaurant, our two plates arrived. The "World Famous" baby back ribs were in fact a full rack, but it was evident that they were not very fresh. The "full rack" of beef ribs - literally the priciest thing on their entire menu - was FIVE RIBS? That's right - a FULL RACK is FIVE RIBS. I understand they are bigger ribs, but it's a travesty to call what was put in front of me a "full rack" of ribs. Also, what constitutes a half rack? Is that two ribs or three? Where to even start with these entrees. The Baby Back Ribs are pork ribs, and they were definitely the better of the two - but that's not saying much. How do you manage to both under cook your ribs, and yet also over cook them in the finishing steps? Also they did not pull the membrane off the inside of the ribs, so there was tough sinew to deal with in every bite. Half of them were passable as food, the second half was like rib jerky. My $25 beef ribs ($5 a rib!) were an atrocity. Each rib had approximately 1 ounces of meat on them, and that meat was stuck tight to those ribs because they were not fully cooked. I almost knocked my front teeth out desperately trying to pull any edible portion off the bones. Every single rib was drenched in sauce, and then scorched on the grill. Once again they had the magical combination of being under cooked AND dry and burned at the same time. The french fries on both plates were cold, tasteless, and soggy. The coleslaw was bland and lukewarm. We left both on the plate. Our ticket total for this nightmare? $65 for a meal so bad I have added Tony Roma's to the short list of restaurants we will NEVER visit again. Not at this location, not at another Denver location, not at any location on Earth. You have lost a customer for life - it is now my job to make sure that as many people as possible are aware of just how terrible the food at this restaurant truly is.

    Seems to be a bit dead (at least on a Sunday night) - maybe 4 patrons. The onion-ring loaf was great. The bread was extremely hard. They have no blender for mixed drinks. The taps were out-of-order. I was told the ribs were one of their best items, and they were decent, but I've had better at some chain restaurants.

    Back in the day, okay, back in the 80’s when I was 20+, I enjoyed the BBQ Ribs and dining experience. My first choice when I arrived DEN was a Ted Montana steakhouse but when I arrived, I learned it was a 40 minute wait … on Tuesday night … Are you serious? I was heartbroken and very tired to wait. So, I found this Tony Romas on my path to the hotel. Let’s give it a try I said; BBQ sounds good enough. Well, to make it short, I walked into an empty large room with tables disbursed as if they were out of place and on a dance floor. No atmosphere, no decorations, or greenery (plants) to make the dining experience a pleasant one. It was just an empty wood floor of a room. Enough of the room. The service staff was pleasant and welcoming. The Baby Back Ribs I ordered were edible but nothing to scream about. I found the less-than-meaty ribs to be overcooked, with little BBQ sauce. I love sweet coleslaw but this slaw was warm and bitter. The best part of the dish was the french fries … they were hot, crispy, and seasoned perfectly. Next time, I guess I’m waiting at Ted Montana’s for a good nutritional steak. Lesson learned.

    The service was okay, our waitress did a good job. The food was okay but nothing spectacular. We had the spinach dip, it was okay. I had an alfredo dish, the sauce tasted like it came out of a jar.

    We received fantastic service!! Crystal seated us promptly and was so friendly. Michelle was our server who was also friendly. We ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. All our meals were hot and fresh!! I ordered the medallion/rib plate and my husband ordered the salmon. My grandson ordered the sirloin. All our meals were delicious!!!! My husband let the server know it was my birthday so she kindly gave me a choice of a dessert. I chose cheesecake. She brought it out with a candle and I got happy birthday sang to me. What an awesome birthday dinner I got!!! Thumbs up to Michelle Crystal and the cooks for a damn good experience!!👍☺️🙏🏽💝

    Looked like a warehouse rather than a restaurant. There was 100 Japanese soccer players having dinner so it was very loud and crazy . At the same time the food was pretty good and while service was slow, the food was well prepared and tasty. Ribs and steak worth the time.

    I was at this restaurant enjoying some family time. The way they treated this young sailor and his family was so saddening. They treated him and his family as if they did not belong. All the young man wanted to do was enjoy a meal with his family before shipping off to basic.

    We came in kind of late and the staff were super friendly and kind even though they were working hard to get the restaurant ready for closing. Telling us not to rush or worry. Had a delicious meal with drinks and dessert. It was a great end to a long day hiking.

    Server was nice and not overly attentive, 5 stars to her. Beef ribs will never order again. Pork ribs were good. Green beens were under cooked. Fries were awesome and Raspberry tea was good.

    Got to say that Tony Roma's came through in the clutch for my friends and me! We got in late on Wednesday night because our flights were canceled. Stayed at the Holiday inn Express across the street, and this was the only decent place we could find in walking distance. Turned out to work out pretty well. We had some bumps, like they could not make a decent martini at first, but after a little instruction they work that out. We ordered an onion loaf to start. That was oily and definitely not a good choice. I'd say avoid it. For dinner, my buddy and I got ribs, my wife got a salad with salmon and my buddy's wife got a salad with another protein on it. My ribs are damn good, and so were my buddy's. The girls said that salads were fresh and so was the fish. My complaint was that the coleslaw was tasteless, limp and taste it like it was made in a sink. Pretty nasty. Aside from all that, I got to give this Tony Roma's a thumbs up!

    The waitress we had was busting her behind. However we watched two others do virtually nothing, while ours was overwhelmed. No ice in drinks, no spoon/straw to stir tea with, steaks were ordered well & medium but we got rare & rare, baked potato cold to the touch. We sent it all back. Another table within earshot also had issues. When you've been open 1hr, have at least 3 table complaints...somebody needs to pull their head out.

    The only good thing about this place is the Onion appetizer!!! We had the full rack St. Louis style ribs… very dry 😩 and the Baby back ribs with Shrimp was terrible… shrimp was way over cooked and the breading was burned. The ribs were full of gristle and broken bones. The bar area was so packed and loud we could not hear each other! Only 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant! They hustled and were polite. I would not waste my money here again!!!

    The chicken appetizer was amazing. In addition, we had a pork strami ribs but it was not the best ribs. And finally a red velvet cheesecake. This match up is not meant to be. And special the roasted top.

    Our server was phenomenal. The food was really great. The only thing that was a little stale was the coleslaw. But, everything else was great. We'll be going back.

    Awesome steaks, five of us went there and we had ribeye and the filet medallions that were cut with a fork tender. Service was top notch. I've eaten at other restaurants that couldn't compare with these steaks for the price. Highly recommend

    Stop TRYING to be fancy and just serve food!!!! Also STOP CHARGING UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES. While many flavors and dishes were delicious and amazing. Most were small portioned Fer either price or person. Best thing was the Artichoke dip. Buffalo wings were pure vinegar and cayenne. Tomatoes in salad were rotten and soaked in vinegar Cheesecake was wonderful but only 5 slices of strawberries was a disappointment. 1/2 thru meal server kid took drinks for refills. Only 1 showed back up the entire meal, including thru 2 desserts. Service was extra slow but less than 15 people in the entire resteraunt in the almost 2 hrs we were there. One waitress seemed to even be avoiding/ignoring us. Maybe because of my son in a wheelchair. Maybe cuz she just culd. But she sure helped 4 other families less than 3 tables away. to top it all off we purposefully mentioned AND wrote on receipt that a tip was not authorized and only $64 was to be charged. Was charged $75. Tip line had been altered and charged THROUGH the negation mark. Slimy scam that claims to be a restaurant. Won't be back. GORDON RAMSEY THEY NEED YOU! ROBERT IRVINE, I found ur next project, and it don't need remodeled!

    Ate their last night, first time. Wasnt sure what we would find, based from other reviews. Wasnt busy, staff standing by bar didnt really acknowlege us when we came in. Finally asked if we wanted a table or booth. Did notice a lot of tables that hadnt been cleaned yet, so did realize that they had been busy, maybe understaffed. It was around 8 pm. Server was very nice left us menus and ask what we wanted to drink. We ordered our meals and were pleasently surprised how good they actually were. My wife got chicken tenders and I got a 9 oz sirloin. My steak was excellent, only complaint the mashed potatoes were lukewarm, my wife said her meal was also good, she couldnt eat it all and took some home. Visited with server and thanked him, didnt get his name( from oklahoma) told him we enjoyed the meal and said we would come back again next time in area. I would like to try the ribs, overall good visit, I give it a 4 star. Thanks again from Wyoming.

    The waitress was phenomenal. No complaints with her at all. The food? Needs some work. Respectfully. The 'side' salad was a handful of lettuce with 2 cucumbers and mushy (old) cherry tomatoes for 6$! The baby back ribs were obviously from frozen, dried out. Which was sad, because they had good flavor, but... oh well. The fries were good, the potato soup was delicious, and the honey mustard and thousand island were tasty. But I think we can thank Sysco for those. I guess being connected to a hotel, the traffic isn't that busy, and the overall price was reasonable. I want to give 5 stars for the awesome service, but overall, not the best food choice. Maybe it was an off day.
