5 Best New Restaurants in Centennial, Colorado that Locals Swear By

Centennial may be mostly suburban, but its food scene has picked up serious steam—especially around Southglenn, Arapahoe, and the business corridors.

You’ll find polished neighborhood restaurants, brewpubs, and globally inspired spots that make staying in the suburbs more appealing than driving into Denver.

1. Los Dos Potrillos Mexican Restaurant & Brewery (Centennial)

This local mini‑chain’s Centennial outpost is part traditional Mexican restaurant, part small brewery, with a lively dining room and bar.

The menu is huge: tacos, fajitas, burritos, chimichangas, combination plates, and seafood specialties, plus house‑brewed beers on tap.

Margaritas and micheladas are big draws, and the vibe is upbeat and family‑friendly.

2. ViewHouse Centennial

Right by the Broncos’ training facility, ViewHouse feels like a massive indoor‑outdoor sports bar crossed with an upscale restaurant—rooftop and patio spaces, games, and tons of TVs.

The menu leans American with a Colorado twist: burgers, tacos, big salads, bowls, sandwiches, and shareable plates like sliders and nachos.

Brunch is popular, especially when paired with bottomless mimosas or bloody marys. It’s a go‑to for game days and large groups.

3. The Streets at SouthGlenn – 3 Margaritas / Bad Daddy’s / Snooze Cluster

Instead of one restaurant, the SouthGlenn area itself has become a mini dining district.

Highlights include 3 Margaritas (colorful, classic Mexican with big combo plates), Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar (build‑your‑own gourmet burgers and milkshakes), and Snooze (a very busy, creative breakfast/brunch spot).

Taken together, they give Centennial a walkable, “little city center” feel where you can grab brunch, cocktails, or a fun dinner without leaving the neighborhood.

4. Farro Italian Restaurant

Farro is a warm, bistro‑style Italian spot that feels like a local secret. It’s cozy but polished, with a compact, thoughtful menu.

Expect house‑made or carefully sourced pastas, risotto, chicken and veal classics, seafood, and good antipasti.

Daily specials and seasonal ingredients keep things interesting, and the wine list is curated but not intimidating. It’s a strong pick for date night or a nicer family dinner.

5. The Copper Pot Saddlerock (near Centennial line)

Close to Centennial’s eastern edge, The Copper Pot delivers a homey, diner‑meets‑modern‑breakfast‑spot feel.

All‑day breakfast means omelets, pancakes, skillets, and biscuits and gravy; lunch and dinner bring burgers, sandwiches, salads, and comfort‑food plates like chicken‑fried steak.

Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and it’s the kind of place that quickly becomes a weekly regular for locals.
