      @alexjones6190 that's a lie.. people were just too cowardly to speak up. The whole point of a server is to provide exceptional individualized service..

    Your review was spot on. I worked at Denver International Airport for many years and ate at Elways a few times. I always thought it was decent, but nowhere near the quality that it promised and not worth the money. The original Elways restaurant in Cherry Creek is completely different. It is excellent, but the airport location (and there’s apparently a second location that just opened in the airport as well) has always been underwhelming.
    To answer your question, the problem is that it’s airport food. There are a number of airport versions at DEN of successful local restaurants and in most cases I’ve found them to be mere shadows of the real thing at their off-airport locations.

      I've lived in Colorado for almost 25 years. While I enjoyed watching Elway play football, his restaurants are nothing special; the food is overpriced and not the highest quality. He's a football player, not a chef, and he's cashing in on his name.

    • @Jon-lf2dj
      @Jon-lf2dj 7 месяцев назад +1

      Been to the Cherry Creek North Elway's several times; definitely not a tourist trap, mostly (almost exclusively) locals and the food is solid. My in-laws (3rd gen. Denverites) even hosted our engagement party there. The best description is a "modern" steakhouse; more Flemings than Mortons. Guessing the DIA location is an outlier. Most airport locations are a step below their Main St. counterparts.

The fact he doesn't know this, nor did he know that he wouldn't get a sharper knife at an airport tells me he isn't well traveled, nor does it seem he's knowledgeable about different cuts of steak.

    I used to work there and they’d cut corners to get the product out. The kitchen staff also didn’t care about the food at all. Seasoning is premixed steak seasoning that is mostly pepper. Broiler is used for the steaks but for some reason they don’t like to give grill marks or a proper sear. Maybe new training should be in order but will it really help? All airport restaurants run like that from my experience.

      I once got off a flight to Hawaii with a HANGRY disposition and found and got a pork sammich from a vendor at the Kona Airport. I could have hugged that lady. It was $5 and the BEST BBQ I ever had. Any woman would have looked on in envy as I devoured it. God bless parking lot vendors. I just got a dozen tamales today in the Walmart parking lot. I LOVE LITTLE OLD LADIES SELLING ME THEIR FOOD!

      I was going to say, I've never eaten at Elway's (any location), but your expectations half to drop dramatically in the airport. You are guaranteed to pay more, the menu is guaranteed to be reduced, the staffing is guaranteed to be worse, which means worse service and worse food.

    Expectations at an airport restaurant must be significantly tempered. In most airports the employees are actually contractors from the company who purchased the license for that location (e.g. HMS).

    The original Elway's Steakhouse not far from the Bronco's Club house of yesteryear around Greenwood Village, is just not the same as what you have experienced at DIA. Laying out $100.00 + for a meal used to give you an awesome experience. Now I really wonder if one needs to be more careful. I used to like the Pour La France locations at DIA or any of the Credit Card Lounges available today may offer a better value.

I bet they don't care much about the cuts of supposed prime cuts as they well more pub like fare than what is typical of a steak house. Well darn, but the big positive note of this video: You !
