Colorado Food Reviews started as a side project between friends who loved food and wanted a better way to keep track of the best places to eat across the state.
Our team has always been made up of people who plan trips around meals — not landmarks. We’ve spent years chasing green chili across Southern Colorado, comparing breakfast burritos between cities, and swapping recommendations through group texts and spreadsheets. Eventually, we realized it made more sense to turn that shared obsession into something structured and public.
That’s how Colorado Food Reviews began.
We launched the site as a simple way to share the places we knew — spots we’d eaten at, trusted, and recommended. But we quickly ran into a reality: Colorado is too big, too spread out, and too full of underrated restaurants to cover manually with a small team.
We couldn’t review every town by hand. But we could analyze real public data, aggregate verified reviews, and monitor patterns in how locals talked about food online.
That approach changed everything.
Instead of pretending we could be everywhere at once, we started focusing on how people actually eat across the state — using real customer experiences, creator content, menus, public feedback, and direct research to build structured guides, not personal reviews.
Colorado Food Reviews has grown from a personal food log into a full editorial site — one that documents restaurants town by town, with a focus on overlooked places and honest reporting. And while the scale has changed, the point hasn’t: share good food, clearly and consistently.
This is still built by people who care about where to eat.
