Topping their legendary Cricket burger with green chile, an egg, and bacon is always a good choice. Wash it down with one of 23 beers on tap. Read more

I thought the waiter was crazy when he told me to order the Cricket Burger with bacon, cream cheese, jalapeño, and raspberry jam, but it may have been the most delicious burger I've ever had.

Got the cricket with bacon,BBQ sauce & pepper jack cheese w/frings. Burger was juicy and overall good. Wasn't blown away though. Good service. Free cricket brownie (6.46 value) on Foursquare 3.5/5

Yes, you can get some wild toppings (cream cheese, raspberry jam, jalapeno) and it's good, but a more traditional burger is where this place really shines.

Absolutely Delicious! The bison burger is definitely a favorite, but ALL of their menu items are really amazing! The wait isn't too long and the staff is super friendly! Always a pleasure visiting!

Cricket Burger with Bacon, Cream Cheese, Jalapeño, and yes Raspberry Jam. Unreal. I was skeptical at the suggestion, but just go with it.

Cherry Cricket is a classic burgers-and-beer kind of joint where the company is good, the coolers stocked and the burgers among the best in town. Great patio, too. Read more

It gives a comfortable atmosphere in the center of Cherry Creek, but it has elevated untraditional burger toppings like peanut butter, cream cheese & wing sauce to new heights. [Eater 38 Member]

Great burgers, good beer selection, nice outdoor patio. Serves food later than anything else in the neighborhood.
RaynaJune 5, 2015
Go for happy hour, they have two a day. Wide variety of burger toppings, I get sour cream, raspberry jam, and grilled onions. Love their atomic wings too!
Lauren MarieApril 8, 2015
I'm from Chicago and everyone said this pace has the best burgers. Well we get there and there is a 20 min wait, while multiple tables are open, order a burger medium rare, comes back a hockey puck :(
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014
The Green Chili is some of the best in town. While fans rave about their burger, we went bananas over the Reuben! Whatever you order, get a side of Frings!
Michael TomkinsonJuly 29, 2017
Awesome, large burgers - very tasty, and customized to exactly what you want. Thin-cut fries are better seasoned than the steak-cut. Would recommend.

The Cherry Cricket was on our bucket list of local places to try and it exceeded or expectations! The food was incredible and service was fast for as busy as they were.
NatalieOctober 21, 2015
Their hot herbed artichoke dip is to die for. Super delicious. A bit of a dive but food and service is what keeps me coming back.
PureWowJuly 26, 2016
You’re the boss at this build-your-own-burger joint--you could even top your patty with grilled pineapple and peanut butter. (But, um, we wouldn’t recommend it.) Read more
Joey HernandezSeptember 24, 2016
great burger! added bleu cheese, bacon, and green chile strips. foursquare hooked it up with a free brownie too!
Nathan NicholasJanuary 1, 2015
Food was very good. Atmosphere was phenomenal. Made this Texan very happy. "20 minute wait" was more like 11-13. A+!
Chai OdomSeptember 9, 2014
A very tasty burger, and they know the proper way to cook it. Definitely take advantage of their many toppings.
Allison KasicFebruary 14, 2020
They can do half baskets on the side, which is a great size for one person.
Michael CJune 10, 2016
Fantastic burgers and sandwiches... great beer selection. Loved the hot, crispy onion rings and stellar fries. 🍔🍟🍺

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and go nuts with toppings like pb&j or cream cheese!
CheapismApril 22, 2011
This great neighborhood bar serves up a lot of food, including enchiladas, burgers and salads. If you’re headed there for happy hour it's from 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm and again from 10:00 pm - midnight. Read more

Always check out their burger of the month! It's always an amazing combination of delicious ingredients, and a great price!
Amy LeaseSeptember 28, 2018
🍔 🍟 and onion rings Fish taco 🌮 was great also. Nice casual atmosphere and perfect patio weather
Men's Health MagJuly 10, 2012
If you can handle it, order the half-pounder Cricket Burger. Then, ask them to slather on peanut butter and a fried egg. No, really. You'll have the world's most unforgettable, decadent burger.
Roberto Bruder AguiarOctober 13, 2015
They are known to be the best burger in Colorado. The patty is very juicy and I had mine with an egg, grilled onions and green chili sauce. It's good, but Texas burger joints are much better.
Megan ElizabethAugust 17, 2018
Everything is amazing. I always get a bunless burger with white cheddar and grilled onions with French fries.
Mike LeFebruary 14, 2016
Cricket Burger, the shakes, and the wings + stuffed peppers are all wonderful. Be prepared to wait on Saturday nights, though.
AddisonSeptember 2, 2016
Burgers are one of a kind, literally, since you make your own. I recommend getting the 1/4 burgers cause those are filling enough.
Erin GMay 12, 2015
Denver staple featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives; it's not hard to tell why once you arrive. Build your burger however you damn well please :)
The BigBJuly 27, 2018
Really fantastic Burgers! I’m not into hyping but this place gives you value for money. Worth every cent!
David PittsAugust 5, 2015
Kitchen open till midnight! Buffalo burger is great, onion rings are really good as well. Solid beer specials too.
Saralynn McCauleySeptember 13, 2014
I'm eating a hamburger topped with peanut butter, jelly, avocado, onions, and pepper jack cheese! Where else could you get such toppings?
ScoutmobNovember 30, 2011
In 1945, Cherry Cricket opened as "Mary Zimmerman's Bar" and the bar was actually the living room of her home, which sat where the Sears Auto Center is today. We say that's a downgrade.
Elsbeth ThurstonJune 7, 2015
Mash puppies are great and peanut butter and fried egg burger is a must try!
Heather MFebruary 17, 2016
Best burgers in cherry creek! The herbed cream cheese is the best and wing sauce+fries=amazzzzing!!
Serious EatsDecember 12, 2013
The Cricket can get crazy crowded. You may be able to skirt the wait list by asking to sit at the back bar.
Brian TranNovember 12, 2014
Saw this place on Man vs. Food and had to come try it. The Cricket burger was really good here!

Some say it's the best burger in town. I would rate it high, but there are other greats in town too.
Tish SzurekDecember 29, 2018
While the burgers and onion rings are great, my go-to order is the pork green chile stew

Ask for DJ Johnny O. He will charm and seduce you as you taste the magic of a cricket burger topped with jalapeños, cream cheese, and love. DJ Johnny O will smile and make you comfortable, oh so comfy
