The Dusty Boot Steakhouse & Saloon

Not a bad place — decent food, good drinks. Great waitress… But when you ask your waitress what the pie of the day is and she goes and asks and returns with «chocolate lava cake»
If I’m not mistaken, that’s not pie

It took over an hour to get our food, and the food was average. The server made excuses, could not even get the drink order correct, and did not offer any accommodation for the issues that came up. Subpar food and service.

Went here for a Saturday lunch with my 2 adult sons. The waitress was sorely lacking in knowledge about the craft beers. No big deal. Ordered guac & chips as an app. It was OK. Too many crumbs, not enough whole chips! Short Rib enchilada… cheese was not melted. My Fish & Chips… meh. No taste. Mac&Cheese burger… needed seasoning. My son added leftover guacamole & said it was better, but not great. Overall, food was edible & decent. Nothing to write home about. Will not be back. Too many other places to spend my $$$. Waitress was fine, kept checking with us, but how do you tell her this is too mediocre to tolerate?! Never been to Dusty before, this was my first time… will not return. Been there, done that!

My family and I tried this restaurant for the first time on Mother’s Day for breakfast. We had a 9:30 am reservation and was completely surprised when we walked in and it was empty.
The food was great, the service was great and our waitress, Lindsay, was great! They’re not joking when they say «bottomless mimosas» Lindsay kept refilling our glasses as if it were water.
Another great surprise was that kids eat free on Saturdays and Sundays. We had no idea! I’m so glad we tried this place. I will definitely be coming back and bringing friends with us!

One server for the entire restaurant, including the bar, on a Saturday is pretty ridiculous. Service was horrible. We started out with bug in our water. I was pretty grossed out after that. I barely could eat but meal but the food was terrible anyway. They mailed out a coupon they didn’t even want to honor for what the coupon stated for BOGO. Instead they want to take $ 10 off. That’s not BOGO. If you just want to take $ 10 then send out that coupon. Very tacky. The waitress did not even know how to enter the coupon so it took about 20 minutes to get finally get out of there. It was pretty frustrating. Where were the managers? I think there was one there & he was cooking.

I have only eaten here twice, and the food was mediocre both times. The steak was good, but bland and a bit over priced, the mashed potatoes were watery and lacked flavor, but the salad was fantastic. I still give it 4 stars because we’ve been here a few other times just for drinks, and no matter what, the staff is always really amazing!

I had no idea that this establishment did not offer a lunch menu… which they should if there going to be open for lunch than offer a lunch menu like any reputable restaurant. So please consider offering a lunch menu I am sure I am not the I only one that has mentioned this… Yeah you will have to tweak your menu to accommodate but hey you get more business. Also need to lower your prices of your food the price does not fit the quality

Nice staff but the steaks were maybe good enough for sizzler but not for a place that claims to be a steakhouse.

We came in last night and Susan was a great bartender so nice, we only had happy hour apps but delicious and our drinks were great! We will be coming back Saturday to see her she said they had a wonderful brunch menu as well as a ton of specials going on! THANK YOU SUSAN See you soon!

As always, Dusty Boot manages to disappoint me even when I’ve lowered my standards from the last visit. No dish I’ve eaten here has ever tasted very good or really matches what the menu says. This time around our hostess was nice and attentive, but that’s about all I can say in this place’s favor. The enchiladas consist of beef, a tortilla, and a cheese sauce that relies on spice to disguise its blandness. The burgers are supposedly good, but I don’t have enough faith to come back and try one.
Overall? Skip this place. Go anywhere else within a half mile and you’ll get a better meal.

First off the youn hostesses were very friendly and sat us quickly and politely. Our waitress was also very polite.
My friends bacon wrapped filet was very good. It came out medium and cut very easily. It needed a seasoning or a rub to enhance the taste.
My NY Strip was the big issue. First it was way over cooked. The worst part was that my steak smelled and tasted bad. Call it spoiled. It was really bad and we told our waitress that the kitchen might have issues if this steam and others off this cut.
The waitress disappeared and came back to tell us she credited our check. This was great but the fact the manager was nowhere to be seen shouts concern and implies that the manager knew about the state of that cut of steak.
First experience folks… So its your opinion, but not sure if we would go back.

Terrible service! When there are only three people in the entire restaurant it’s best to check on your customers before sitting down to have a chat with your coworker. I will never visit this restaurant again. So disappointing because the food was fairly good.

Food quality was ok, but steaks are way overpriced for this place. They are comparable to outback steakhouse but priced like they are del Frisco. Service was awful on our visit. Ordered a pitcher of beer and server never delivered to our table. After 15 minutes of it sitting on the bar next to our server (who was in a debate with a manager over something) he walked into the kitchen and I just went up and grabbed it myself. Entrees were delivered by a food runner and we didnt have any silverware. Food was seasoned fairly well and decent quality, but overall not a great value for price especially with service gaps. We’ve given this place a few tries since it is very close to our house, but always underwhelmed. We won’t be back. It’s a shame because I would love for a great steakhouse in the neighborhood.

The curb appeal and cleanliness of the place was good, service was fine. Could really use better/​fresher food. Seemed like the beef tips were just microwaved. Egg rolls definitely a pre package item but enjoyed them better than the beef tips.

I come here all the time and always have a great experience. Service at the bar is outstanding and I love the prime rib. Great place to relax with a beer and a steak, of course I’ll be back!

My hubs loved his burger and I loved the wings (The second time around). Unfortunately, the first round was undercooked. When the server found out he apologized profusely and nicely took them off our bill. The second round was really good and the flavor was delish. All in all, nice place, good food, and great service.

BAD FOOD! BAD SERVICE!
What happened to this place? It used to be good. I ordered a Cesar salad with shrimp and it looked like cat food. I was hungry so I tried to eat it but just couldn’t. My son ordered a burger with jalapeño rings that he could’ve cut his teeth on, they were so hard and rubbery. He took them all out and kept trying to eat his burger but then the bacon was totally under done and way too chewy to be on a burger, so he took that out as well and tried another bite of his burger. then he just gave up. We told the overly fake and extremely slow waitress about it and she asked if we wanted something else. Why would we want to order more bad food? Apparently she and the manager didn’t like that because they only took $ 8 off our $ 45 bill. The waitress was really smug about it too and I later regretted giving her the small tip that I did. Also we noticed in the kitchen that a lot of the cooks had long beards and nothing to cover their hair. Gross.

This location is awful! The manager does not fully staff and only one waitress serves the entire restaurant (every night, even on weekends). Food is awful and we have given this location 2 tries and both times our food order was messed up and there was a bug in my martini I ordered. It’s bad when your server even admits that she has no clue why this location is still in business… Do not eat or support this location on Arapahoe Road! I will never go back!

The sirloin I ordered was amazing! The house salad was very full of greens as well. Super delicious meal. Will come again.

I thought this was a strip joint when my fiancée wanted to bring me here. haha! However, this is not an alliteration to Shotgun Willies or anything. The food is really yummy especially the soups they offer. The night we went, we had a waitress in training. She was on the slow side and eventually a manager by the name of Michael took over and apologized profusely for the long wait. We got 2 bowls of soup as an apology for the wait time. Overall it was decent. Loved my steak and the 2^nd time around was cooked to perfection. I’d like to venture back some time for more soup and more steak. Even without a coupon, I would definitely venture here to check out more of the menu.

We came here the other night and all around it was ok. We lost power that night, right when I was about to start grilling a steak, so after the power not coming on for a half hour, decided to venture out and get some grub. I donate to CPR and they have a member card with different businesses offering BOGO and Dusty Boot was one of them. We got there and there was a few tables sat but nothing too crazy (except the one big table who was really, really loud – acoustics are not great in this place!) A girl greeted us and soon found out she was a server in training and would be shadowing with Michael.
My fiancé ordered a steak, which the kitchen ended up over cooking his medium rare request, and Michael let us know and apologized. That made everything take a little longer and tables that came in after us left after us, so I was ready to get some food in my system. He loved his steak, chili and onion rings I ordered the BBQ Shrimp Tacos and they were a huge let down and really not like anything like described in the menu. The description made it sound like it would be really fresh packed with BBQ flavor. There was barely any shrimp, mostly tomatoes and cheese, neither which was mentioned in the description and there was no black beans which was listed on the menu. I love tomatoes and love cheese but just wanted something fresh and tasty and this wasn’t it. The BBQ Crema sauce was pretty bland and I had to use some salt to flavor it up. I don’t know if the menu has changed or if there was a miscommunication with the kitchen but the tacos weren’t as described and honestly didn’t taste good. Usually I would send something back but given the long day plus our puppy at home, really just wanted to eat and go home.
Michael was really attentive, personable and an all-​around awesome server. We really appreciated him and his service! But the food I ordered left a lot to be desired and not as described on the menu. If we didn’t have a BOGO, I wouldn’t com here, prices are jacked up for what you get. Don’t order the BBQ Shrimp Tacos!

Bad news all the way around. We went expecting steakhouse prices, but also expected steakhouse quality food and service. Nope. The food was a huge disappointment. We ordered prime rib tacos and a steak sandwich, both served with cold meat, as well as ingredients and portions that would be more appropriate at a Subway. Bland, cheap and served on huge plates that focused on the small entrees. I didn’t realize the kids chicken was the cheap dinosaur fingers, but that was my fault. We totally understand when servers have a bad night… but the entire staff lacked training. Our girl forgot everything from silverware to parts of our order. We watched 3 severs fumble around 6 tables in the dining room, and bar staff and manager (?) casually hangout in the bar area. What a bummer.

Five stars for stellar service from the bartender who was happily, on St. Patrick’s day, running the entire joint single-​handedly during the beginning of happy hour & dinner. Service can make or break a meal and in this case it helped tremendously because I would be hard-​pressed to say the food will bring me back here.
I was surprised by how small & cozy the inside of this place was. For some reason I thought it would be much bigger. We sat in the bar and, as I mentioned, got some of the best service from Mike. What can I say, when you know what you’re doing, it shows. Unfortunately, the food just didn’t win me over. Did I order wrong? Maybe. We ordered the wonton rellenos which were described as green chile & cheese wrapped in wonton wrappers. No bait & switch here. They were, in fact, wonton wrappers folded over green chiles and a bit of cheese. But they were so bland and flavorless I just couldn’t figure out the purpose. I dobbed spoonfuls of sour cream on each bite to give it some flavor. I just don’t get it because the idea is fantastic and these could really pop if there was some jalapeño or a different cheese inside.
We also ordered a couple of salads. My friend ordered the cobb salad which looked just standard. I ordered the grilled steak Caesar salad which came with two quarters of romaine that had been lightly charred. A few parmesan crisps were a very nice touch. But. And. It came with a small handful of tiny bits of steak. I’m not kidding. It was like small pieces of burnt ends of steak. Chewy, grissly. Just not appropriate for a 14 dollar salad.
Like I said, I’d go back to sit at the bar and have a couple of brewskies with Mike the bartender but for a nice dinner out, I think I’ll probably make other selections for that.

Well, I waited for awhile to lower my rating because I am a fan of the Boot… I live near by and enjoy the convenience of the location and I have been pleased with the staff and food.
But… Over the last 6 – 8 months they have really gone down hill. Food quality has been highly inconsistent and usually on the poor side.
Other than the team behind the bar that have been there awhile the service is very spotty. They have had 3 – 4 managers since the last good manager was there (Travis). Things ran smoothly then and food quality was quite good and consistent.
I hope they get their «groove» back as I am going there less and less for anything more than a cold beer.
It really does seem that the owners don’t really care anymore, I mean the one of then front doors has been broken for 2 plus years?!? The bar surface needs a good cleaning, a bit sticky… It’s time for a bit of a refresh?
Cheers, here’s hoping the management will find a way to turn the Boot around before even the regulars stop coming

Ok but really nothing to write home about. Food was not charged cooked to order. Good thing it was bogo night otherwise would of not been worth it

What can I say.
I am, was, a big fan.
The worst service at any restaurant in ten years.
Entered at the front door, no one is visible.
I waited 3 minutes and finally went to the back. Ordered through the waiter, and received no service.
As I ate the fish and chips other customers came in and were ignored too.
Someone here doesn’t know how to run a restaurant.
Food was good, as usual.
Complained nicely to the manager, and she stared at me like I was not even there.
And now I won’t be.
What a shame.

The $ 20 Groupon brought us in for lunch again. My husband made an Open Table reservation for the points, but we actually didn’t need a reservation for lunch.
I ordered my favorite Prime Rib Dip ($ 14) and my husband ordered his favorite CC Tear Jerker burger. We will be back when there is another Groupon.
