THE RABBIT HOLE REVIEWS

There is an enclosed stairway very near the street. You go down the rabbit hole. The place was dark, kitschy, inviting. My partner enjoyed his ribeye, and I was blown away by the tofu hash. The tofu itself was bland and uninspiring, but the vegetables were amazing. Each veg was separately cooked and had its own distinct and enhanced flavors. The cocktails before dinner were as delicious as the generous hunk of carrot cake we shared for dessert. The wine list is reasonable and covers a decent scope of varietals. Our server was stellar. We are just passing through, so may never find myself back here. What a shame! Worth the stop.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, service, and food. Great vegetarian and meat lovers options. The desserts are phenomenal. Their cocktails are also delicious. My girlfriend and I keep coming back. Very nice place to go on a date. Everything is made from scratch, and you can taste the love in the food. Can't recommend it enough.

We came from across the country for a trade show and this was the only restaurant recommended by our Uber driver. I loved the Alice in wonderland theme, the food was all delicious, the drinks were perfectly balanced… can’t give it enough praise. I hope I can come back again one day.

LAZY DOG RESTAURANT & BAR REVIEWS

This place was so good! We are glad we were able to stop while we were in Colorado Springs. The salmon was amazing. That was a top dish anywhere. Everything we ate was very delicious. Our waitress was amazing, she was so nice! The bartender was amazing too. The drinks were perfect and he was very helpful. Our first time there was a great experience, one we would go back to again in a heartbeat! Get the Salmon.

My fiance and I had the best experience at Lazy Dog this evening. Jamie was our server and she was extremely attentive, personable, and friendly. The food is always fantastic and I could never complain about the service, but Jamie was just top tier tonight.

It was our first time there. Heather is who took care of us. And she did an amazing job. The ribeye Burger was not of this planet, it was amazing. My wife my daughter and her boyfriend feel equally.

BLACK BEAR DINER COLORADO SPRINGS REVIEWS

If you're looking for a cozy, charming spot that serves up incredible food, look no further than this Black Bear Diner! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, rustic atmosphere that's filled with adorable black bear knick-knacks, making it feel like a home away from home. The food is absolutely amazing – every dish is cooked to perfection, with generous portions and flavors that will leave you coming back for more. Get the huckleberry!!! A big shoutout to our server, Dwan, who made the experience even more memorable with her friendly, attentive service. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve even got a fun boombox where you can choose your own music to set the perfect vibe while you dine. This place has it all – fantastic food, great service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend.

First off, Attom was a great server, even with a fairly busy section he checked on us in a timely manner. He was very kind and courteous and made sure we were well taken care of. My western BBQ burger was cooked to perfection. If anyone is on the fence about black bear, you better come on over cause you don't know what you're missing. Great service, incredible food, and wonderful atmosphere. New Sunday breakfast spot forever.

We had an amazing experience. Our waitress was Brooklyn. and I would like to shout her out because she was absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed the food so much and she was very kind and caring. If something in our meal was messed up she was right on top of it and was always willing to help out. Thank you.
