Iconic Denver burger spot delivering big, customizable burgers and hearty sides in a lively, dive-bar-meets-Cherry Creek setting, with strong owner engagement but occasional service and consistency hiccups.
The Cherry Cricket delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong burger quality and standout onion rings that justify its Denver classic status, but inconsistent execution on busy nights—cold or overcooked patties, slow refires—prevents higher grades. The Cherry Creek location and lively atmosphere appeal to regulars and families, though crowding at peak times and noise temper the experience. Generous portions and friendly service compete with a la carte side pricing that surprises at checkout.
One caveat: Parking is limited or paid in Cherry Creek; waits can reach 30–60 minutes on weekends
