How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it.

We stopped for Lunch! , Tony seated us, our daughter wanted to sit in the cars, so we moved and asked to keep Tony P. He was Absolutely Amazing! Talk about Wow Service! Our daughter, spilled her milk, he got on his hands and knees to clean up the mess. Great Knowledge about the menu, great recommendations. We will definitely be back to see him. The deep fried tacos 🌮 were Absolutely Delicious!

Platte River Bar has always been a good, dependable beer and burger joint for us. We used to walk over from ACC and have lunch there OVER 30 YEARS AGO and we still stop by now. The place has a great neighborhood feel to it and the staff are very friendly - especially Tony L - The friendliest waiter I have run across in sometime (Thats Tony in the picture. There is always a table full of friends somewhere in the “joint” having one hell of a time! I like this place

Met up with some friends who had relocated, so we had a larger party of ten on a Sunday afternoon. Our table was lovely and in a semi open air area of the rooftop bar. Service was attentive, accutate, friendly and in one word...awesome! The food was delicious and exactly as described on the menu, which had many, many options. We spent 2 hours there enjoying well missed friendships and celebrating the opportunity to reconnect over a good meal and atmosphere.

Hey there! If you’re in the area, you have to check out Platte River bar and grill. It’s a great place to grab lunch. We stopped by on our way to Platte River Greenway, and it’s right next to the greenway, off Santa Fe. The atmosphere is super cool, and there’s a huge outdoor deck. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the deck is super comfortable, even on hot days. Plus, there’s an entrance to the greenway right there! The food is typical bar food, but it’s tasty and served well. I had the patty melt, which was a bit bland, but it was well-made. My wife had buffalo wings, and she loved them! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend you stop by. Relax, have a drink, and enjoy some good food. You won’t regret it!
