Bad service experience with the taller dark haired gentleman with a dog mask. We took the afternoon off to enjoy happy hour from 3-4, expecting the deal posted on their Facebook page shown below. The white sign was down but the chalk board said happy hour from 3-4 on weekdays, with signs on window and tables listing the same special plus different promos starting in 3 days. Ordered beer and were told there hadnt been happy hour since Covid reopening. We came for the same happy hour a month before, so something wasnt right. False advertising and false information, so we let him know. We were clearly unhappy customers but trying to be polite, and this guy just played dumb and didnt try to reconcile the situation at all when he clearly had the chance. Said we should have asked before ordering. We would have asked, but the chalk sign above the bar advertised HH, so we thought we didnt need to. We are definitely sympathetic to small businesses during this time, and want to support them! However, we left really unhappy. Just a completely off-putting experience.

Love this staple of fort Collins. Best breakfasts and awesome sandwiches for lunch. You might have to wait a little but thats part of the experience. Eclectic and hard to find beer selection. Want Kobe beef or any specialty meats? Just ask the butcher.

We got the choice city and BBQ burger - SO GOOD!! Best burgers I’ve had in years. Gluten free bun was amazing. Super delicious and peppery bloody maria. Great beer selection. Fantastic and friendly service. Could not recommend this place enough!

Five out of five will be coming back, younger gentleman Destin opened the door for me when I came inside to greet me I decided to order the breakfast burger and a whiskey sour, the breakfast burger was to die for I couldn’t believe the flavors it was amazing I had to ask the chef Mario what he did to make it so good, also most likely the best whiskey sour I’ve ever had and definitely not something you would expect from a sandwich shop

The restaurant has a great relaxing vibe. I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed as soon as we set foot it this cozy little restaurant. Their menu has a great selection of fresh food and drinks to choose from. Whether your in the mood for breakfast or lunch your sure to find something wonderful to eat at this restaurant. We ordered a mimosa with the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, a Bloody Mary and the Reuben Burger with Dill Coleslaw and just a classic Bacon Burger. We all tried each others food and the only complaint we had was the coleslaw was really bland. Other than that everything was cooked and made perfectly. Our drinks were great, well sized and tasted spot on. As you can see you they did not skimp on the toppings of the Bloody Mary. If your not into our drinks there is plenty of beer on tap to choose from their bar. They also have a deli with a multitude of meats to choose from if you dont see anything on the menu you like. I got to tell you, for the high quality and amount of food and drinks we received it was all very reasonably priced. This was our first time here and we plan on returning in the near future. Be sure to put this one on your bucket list if your ever find yourself in Fort Collins!

On the occasion that I am able to make it back to Fort Collins, Choice city is a must! They have an incredible beer selection, thats always rotating. The food is excellent! Ive had the entire menu and even the PB&J is crafted with care and expertise. My go-to is a toss up between the Choice city burger, and the Reuben. Im still full, and I could eat another. Staff is always great too!

40 minutes for a togo order? I ordered a classic rueben and a breakfast sandwich for take out. Literally waited 40 minutes. It was a little busy. Seated customers asking for theyre checks getting their own food from counter. What are you guys doing in the kitchen?

I got the Reuben sandwich and it was the best Reuben I have ever had. My wife got a make your own sandwich, which was also delicious. Would definitely recommend you stop here for lunch or dinner. If we are ever back in Fort Collins we will stopping here!

Came here years ago and it was amazing. Came back to Colorado on vacation, made the trip out to eat here and they closed 30 minutes early than what the normal hours are so no go for me. Not exactly sure why this place isnt opened past 4pm but come on just stay open on your posted hours.

We both loved our burgers! The atmosphere and beer paired well together. Only reason I’d give this a four is because the sides left us wanting more.

I’ve never been disappointed by Choice City. Great quality food, and reasonable prices. One Fort Collins’ staples, I always recommend this place to visitors. Recently tried the Reuben, and it was one of the best I’ve had.

Phreaking phenomenal! It takes a little time to get your order because this isnt that chain sub shop. Everything from the perfect bread, meats and cheeses is put together perfectly! Treat yourself to one for the best lunches in town!

Review №22

Very long wait timers order and get your food. Monday at 1240 took an hour to order and get our food. Burger was great, but it doesn’t come with any side- not even a bag of chips! 3 stars only because burger was great but limited seating, no sides and unreasonable wait times need to be considered if choosing Choice City- wish I knew beforehand so I could have gone somewhere else.

Great food and a good vibe! We had the smoked duck cakes as our appetizer and they were amazing. Cant go wrong with the bacon wrapped pork shanks either. Plus lot of local beers on tap. Definitely recommend!

Review №26

Simply the best deli Ive ever been to and Im from New Jersey where we are frequently guilty of claiming the superiority of our delis. The Reuben is simply amazing and the classic Italian is also out of this world. Low stress, unimposing environment to have a beer and a sandwich in. Nice outdoor seating on the sidewalk of Olive St.

I love burgers...I mean LOVE burgers and these are some of the best I have had anywhere. Add to that a great beer selection, helpful well-informed staff, and chill vibe, and this place is a win across the board. And yes they do not serve fries but you will not miss them. Try the potato salad.

Review №32

I always enjoy Choice Citys selection of beer. Often one of the best selections in town, which is a big complement. Occasionally I come for some exotic meats to take home, or perhaps a Buffalo Ruben sandwich. Its an unpretentious place that has a nice (but small) south facing patio that one can especially enjoy the sun on a cool day. Pricing is mid range, but the quality of food is worth it. Check it out!

Great place to grab breakfast. The Smoked Duck Benedict was fantastic, and well worth the wait during a very busy morning on memorial day weekend. Great selection of meat dishes and quite a few beers on tap. Worth a stop!

The food here is always amazing. Delicious burgers, sandwiches, and the most succulent cuts of meat you can imagine. Their menu has a wide selection of both farm and game meats. If you dont see something you like just go to the butcher counter and select a cut of meat to be prepared for you. Wide selection of beers too, was shocked to find a local beer from my home state of Maine. This place is wicked awesome.

Review №42

Best place in FoCo for a sammy! The Club is HUGE, I like to add provolone, red peppers, and red pepper aoili and only finish it if Im starving- sometimes I save half for later. They definitely dont skimp on the meat! I also recommend the breakfast burger, itll keep you full for quite a while. Only reason for 4/5 is sometimes they mess up the order, forgetting to add or remove ingredients. But the quality of the food is always high, from good sources at a fair price 👍🏻

Review №43

Terrible customer service.Choice City has been one of my familys go to spots for brunch and breakfast for over 10 years. The service has always been spotty, but the location is fantastic and the food was good enough that we were willing to put up with it. However, its gotten bad enough that I dont intend to go back and wouldnt recommend it to anyone else.

The place needs some cleaning and updating but the sammiches! The reuben was probably one of the best Ive had and the French dip was banging. Great beer selection as well.

Review №45

First off, fantastic beer selection. Everything on the beer list has a 95 points rating or higher. Honestly one of the best beer menus on tap Ive seen in Fort Collins. Plus they have a ton of Belgiums which puts me in my happy place. Secondly the food menu is ample and lots of great choices for breakfast. Thirdly, their hot sauce game is on point. Very vinegary hot sauces but definitely try the little piggy bacon hot sauce as well as the mango and Scotch bonnet. If you can, get sausage to go!

What can I say about this place except its a must stop when you are in the Fort Collins area. I came across this delicious eatery when visiting Ft. Collins in 2013. Whenever I make it to Denver I drive the hour+ up here to have lunch or delicious breakfast. Staff are all very friendly.

The meat is amazing. Pictured here is the Reuben which was by far the best I have ever had. Everyone in the group got something different and they were all delicious. The colorado bourbon was good too.

Review №49

The burgers are a bit pricy but at least the Wing burger is tasty. The garlic mashers are a bit on the small side but also tasty. They have various hot sauces for you to spice things up if you need more heat. The have a lot of beers on tap and the tap head wall is a nice touch. Service can be pretty slow so allow for plenty of time during lunch.

Best burger. Best beer. Best sandwiches. Best of Fort Collins. This place is amazing. Never had a bad experience here, and I’ve been here a lot!Personal favorite: Choice City burger, add goat cheese and Jalapeños. Very rich but if that’s your thing you’ll love it.

The Choice City Deli And Butcher is the hidden gem of Fort Collins, Colorado. Situated just below the Hotel Armstrong, their selection of beer is unrivaled in the area and their staff isn’t far behind. With dog friendly outdoor seating and a wide menu both for breakfast and lunch, and even dinner on some days, the restaurant invites both locals and travelers to come hang out and enjoy the scenery.Speaking personally, this place is honesty one of my favorite small treasures in the area and my colleagues and I will be stopping here again (even if it means going out of our way) on our trip back from our research expedition! Jade was great!

I love stopping here for lunch when I am in downtown Fort Collins. A real butcher (you can take out some great protein cuts), that doubles as a deli.A large room with a good number of tables. Right as you enter a bar is on your right, this is where you place food/drink orders. Once your meal is prepared your name is called from a counter at the back of the room.Freshly ground burgers, top notch deli cuts, fresh ingredients, a ton of hot sauce bottles to try make for a great lunch/meal.Bar has a dozen or so taps, with great local/regional selection of beers.

Review №74

Their deli sandwiches, like the Reuben, are the best in town. Their dinners are also great (although Id recommend skipping the wild rice risotto). I also finally tried their breakfast and loved their smoked duck benedict. Finally, while they dont have the largest beer list in Fort Collins, there are always some all-stars on tap.

Review №75

Choice City helped me out & cut the meat I needed that wasn’t available at the grocer even though they had closed 30 minutes earlier. I was so appreciative as I was on a tight schedule to prep food for 20 ahead of time and would have been sunk if I had to wait until the next day! Support local businesses, especially now, they are invaluable and make our communities unique instead of homogenous.

Just wasted 20 minutes driving over here only to find out that they sometimes randomly decide to close early. The guy there seems to think that posting a sign on the door is good enough, as if Im supposed to read that sign from my house?Bad service maybe isnt the best business philosophy when restaurants are closing left and right in the pandemic. The food here may be great but sadly Ill never know

Review №89

When we arrived for breakfast they had no orange juice. When they got the orange juice, our mimosas were 95% orange juice and only half the bloody Mary’s got a garnish. Our food was cold and mediocre. Apparently there was a typo on the menu so we didn’t get the hash browns that were listed. Our food came out at all different times. Overall I think McDonald’s would have been a better choice for breakfast. It seems like they really don’t care

This place is seriously tasty. They are a butcher so their meat is delicious. They offer a variety of beer and things to eat. This is the kind of place that you need to sit and take your time with a beer. Its popular and a little busy so food takes a bit of time to come out but its worth the wait. My favorite was the Smoked Duck Benedict. Very good.

Terrible customer service!!We ordered over the phone and showed up to get our food. We pushed the front door open and were yelled at for not seeing the small sign on the front door that said not to come in and after apologizing were toldWell get to you when we get to youAnd were left standing outside for almost 15 minutes before anyone came to get our name and get us our order. There were 2 small groups on the patio, no one in front of us, and at least 4 people working so this wasnt a busy issue. The people that came after us also got almost identical treatment.I get things are stressful currently, but theres no reason to treat customers poorly.Love their sandwiches, but will NEVER go back

Review №97

They are hands down amazing. I love them! They make the best sandwiches and have excellent quality fresh happy meat. The butcher is always happy to help educate me since I know virtually nothing about cuts or cooking meat. I love that you can get whatever you want.Did I mention the sandwiches are amazing? I have a thing for rye bread. Rye can be hard to get without being flavorless or too in your face but theres is perfect. The sandwiches are huge though. I get a small and it still has a ton of meat.

Decent food....but incredibly rude staff. They completely messed up our order which we clearly ordered 2 sandwiches on. Not a huge deal but lady just asked if we wanted to order another sandwich extremely rudely instead of apologizing. Unfortunately wont be back.

I ate here for the first time, last week. The service was seriously slow. However, that could also be because they always seem to be really busy. Also, I overhead 2 other customers come out saying that their orders were wrong but that they liked what they got.Anyway, I got a Buffalo burger and it was one of the best burgers Ive ever had. It was cooked just like I asked and was delicious. My friend got a roast beef and I tried that and it was very good, too.Its really expensive, though. I guess you really get what you pay for but we spent upwards of $35 on 2 sandwiches and 2 medium drinks. Oh, I also got a small side if pork Green Chili for $2.00 and I would say its the best in town (next to mine, hehe). All in all if youve got the money and the time I say its a great deli!
