READERS’ CHOICE 2018

Roofing shouldn’t be a do-ityourself job. Trust the experts to get the job done right. With the unpredictable Colorado weather, getting the job done quickly and correctly is paramount. You don’t want that melting spring snow to make an appearance on your ceiling. Not only does Read’s Roofing and Repair provide quality roofing, they also support the community by helping disabled and non-working veterans, using money out of profits for supplies to complete projects for them.

In 1985 brothers John and Steve Whiteside opened the doors of Whiteside’s Boots and they’ve been growing ever since. Now with three northern Colorado locations, they continue to provide the best selection and prices in western and work wear and, of course, boots.

A good pair of boots is an investment and not a cheap one. Of course, if you’re going to sell them, it helps to repair them too. And when you work as hard Whiteside’s customers, things are bound to need repair once in awhile, and Whiteside’s is there to help.

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.

New beers release on Fridays, and unique events, like beer and pie pairings, and the upcoming Beer and Bronze event where attendees get to experience sculpting first hand, draw diverse crowds with one thing in common... good beer.

Smashburger

1419 Denver Ave., Loveland, (970) 461-0188, smashburger.com

What makes a smashburger so darn tasty? It’s all in the SMASH! When you start with a fresh, never frozen, beef meatball and, in a trademark move, smash it on the grill, you get a juicy burger beyond compare. Butter-toasted and an array of toppings to choose from give you the choices of a classic pub in a speedy environment. You can even make it vegetarian by choosing a delish black bean patty.

A selection of salads, special sides like seasoned SmashFries, multitudes of milkshakes and even bottled beers further elevate a fast dining experience making it a perfect stop with the family or take-out after work.

BEST HAPPY HOUR AND BEST MARGARITA AND BEST OUTDOOR DINING

Dairy Delite

Cactus Grille

119 E. 4th St., Loveland, (970) 685-4066 cactusgrilleloveland.com

A margarita isn’t just a margarita at Cactus Grille... it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience and the menu goes on for miles. Of course, the salt and the lime are ever popular, but with unique flavors like Mango Habañero, Lavender Mint and Strawberry Avocado and creative concoctions like beer-ritas, there’s no reason to be plain. You’ll find their daily Happy Hour, from 3 to 6 p.m., to be the perfect time to swing by after work. Lay claim to a table out on their pleasant patio and settle in for some fresh homemade guac or some nachos to share...and a margarita or two, of course. Dining al fresco makes even a casual week night meal seem like a party, and with deep discounts on drinks and apps and different food or drink specials daily, it’s a party that’s both enjoyable and affordable.

Come for the Happy Hour and stay for a platter of Mexican food that will fill you to the brim; the perfect partner for all those margs. Try something unexpected or just make it easy and try them all, just not all at once.

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.

As a brand new player in the restaurant arena, AKA (or “Also Known As”) Kitchen has already become a presence to recognize. Their unique menu blends classic dishes with unexpected twists, such as the Pho – French Dip a pho braised brisket sandwich, or the Calicubano a cubano sandwich made with pork belly and avacado.

BEST RESTAURANT FOR KIDS

Relatively new to the area, Hogfish Smokehouse quickly jumped onto a list of Loveland’s favorites. With a unique blend of fresh fish, smoky barbecue, and solid American standards, it’s not hard to see why. Shrimp Scampi Salad slides in next to a Blue Cheese Brisket Salad, smoked ribs next to ginger salmon and burgers, pulled pork and crab cakes all make the list and it doesn’t stop there.

Specials have been known to bring in the latest catch, like Red Snapper, Gouper and Halibut prepared with flair and offered at reasonable prices.

With such a spread on the menu, even the choosiest eater in your crowd is sure to find something for their picky palate.

If you’ve been passing Hogfish Smokehouse by, now is the time to experience the best new restaurant for yourself.

For over 50 years The Black Steer has served its house-cut and aged, Certified Angus Beef, and now for a record streak of 15 years it has been voted number one in Loveland.

A classic steakhouse with the ambiance to match, The Black Steer is truly a Loveland institution. It is where Loveland residents, old and new alike go for an excellent steak.

After aging, the beef is cut and cooked to order, daily then paired up with made from scratch soups, salads, sides, dressings and desserts.

Steak might be their staple, but don’t discount their seafood. Or, rather than choose between them, split the difference and go for the surf and turf.

When a restaurant has been around this long and become such an iconic part of the community they must be doing something right!
