Best Lunch Restaurants in Lakewood

I’ve eaten here twice and think the food is excellent and the staff is great but can we stop being okay with restaurants doing ridiculously inflated extra charges for “Denver Fair Wages”? Im sorry Gusto owners but 6% additional, you should be ashamed you lack the respect to pay your employees better over the greed of filling your pockets. And while I’m sure you’ll make a response saying why you have to do this we can all agree the markup on pizza and pasta is pretty good. Hope you come to your senses, reduce this charge, pay your employees a fairer wage, and stop putting it on your customers before you lose them all.

We enjoyed our meal, however there were a couple of us that had salmon and shrimp and the salmon was overcooked. We were told the cooked had become a little backed up with preparing our meals, which was confusing since we had come in at a very slow time. Apparently we came in when it was "Happy Hour" so we received a discount on our drinks which was a pleasant surprise, and they were very good. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the ambience was very nice. We definitely will be back.

Server finally came to table, gave us water and left without asking if she could get is a drink (not busy at all). After she came back and took order, good service. Tables were beat up and dirty under the acrylic tops.

Footprints was quiet without a lot of traffic. The food was very good the ambiance was excellent. The gallery of the fossil trace remains is a high point. The fries served with "Fish and Chips" need a little work and should be reformatted to English Tavern style with larger chips and a smaller total serving size.

We both had the mon-fri special, fried chicken with gravy, on top of nashed potatoes & corn, even got a mini pizooki for dessert @ $13.00. And it was 💯 delicious.
