2019

Crash Cuisine is nothing short of remarkable in their uniquely healthy cuisine. The best way to describe their food is yummy yet guilt free. As an entirely plant-based restaurant and bakery, offering familiar selections like amazing pizza, it stands apart. But, that’s not all.

They offer a family-friendly environment that is sensitive to allergies and just want to give everyone the best dining experience possible.

By far, one of their greatest assets and what makes Crash Cuisine such a great choice is the variety of wholesome, yet divinely decadent foods selected, prepared and served. They are so skilled and creative that they literately invent vegan meat and cheese from scratch in-house. So, you don’t miss out on many of your favorite meaty menu items, just get them in a healthy, new way.

Hip urban eatery meets cozy neighborhood pub with a classic yet upscale menu— Henry’s Pub is all of that and more. American cuisine is made from scratch with local ingredients, spirits and brews that you can feel doubly good about.

The convenient downtown location and great service make it the perfect spot to stop off for a quick noon-time bite, especially when you’re looking for something light. Fresh house-made salads top the list of lighter fare with options like smoked salmon or Thai chicken.

They’re so successful in fact, that they go through two tons of dough a week and 20 gallons of glaze a day, just to satisfy their customers’ donut cravings. That comes to about 3,000 to 4,000 donuts a day.

They don’t stop at donuts though. Come by their shop for breakfast burritos, coffee, pastries and sandwiches, too. Come in often enough and they’ll even get to know your name and particular preference.

If something tasty is on the menu tonight- don’t forget to order dessert while you’re there. They offer cute cakes, tasty pies, brownies, cookies and donut bread pudding. That’s right; bread pudding made with donuts.

They can get messy (they’re that yummy), so you may want to go with the taco salad and a fork. The tortilla soup is delish on a cold day, and the fajitas are fabulous too.

BEST ICE CREAM/FROZEN YOGURT

2019

2019

True cooking comes from a blank slate; an original, amazing concept with building blocks to greatness. At Slate Italian Eatery, that’s exactly what you’ll find in the form of only the freshest, homemade, quality ingredients.

The scarcity of restaurant from-scratch cooking is preserved and upheld on many menu items at Slate. They like to think of their cuisine as “comfort food” for their customers. And they often are happy to accommodate with gluten free options. The variety of foods offered, even on the appetizer menu, is outstanding. They offer everything you’ll expect from a well-rounded Italian restaurant with a fresh take that’s truly their own. The aromas may bring you in, but the tastes and experience will keep you coming back!

The burgers and fries are great to be sure, but if you get your dessert first at Dairy Delite, no one will judge you. Whether scooped or whirled, these frozen treats are the tastiest in town. Delectable soft serve, banana splits and sundaes top the list of favorites.

Frequent classic car shows add to the illusion of having stepped back in time. And even when they’re at their busiest, you can expect to be served with a friendly smile.

Grab the family, slide into a booth, and indulge your sweet tooth- the diet can wait until tomorrow.

Pizza for lunch? Yes, please. How about a calzone and some pasta? I’ll take one of each. It’s easy, it’s simple and it’s the key to success at Blocky’s. All-time favorite pasta dishes, and classic calzones keep customers coming back for more. And the pizza? Hand-tossed makes all the difference. Just ask the experts at Blocky’s. They toss and stretch their crust by hand using time-tested east-coast techniques, before topping your pie with fresh-cut, not frozen or canned, veggies and traditional meats and cheeses.

And when you’re in the mood for something a little lighter, their outstanding salads and subs really hit the spot. Salads are made fresh to-order each day along with the bread, baked in-house for their subs. Only the highest quality meats, cheeses and veggies are used to make the best sub in Loveland. And don’t neglect to try the East Coast Cheese Steaks. The Blocky Steak is a local favorite.

After aging, their Natural USDA Choice Beef is cut and cooked to order, daily then paired up with made from scratch soups, salads, sides, dressings and desserts.
