Centennial might be suburban by design, but its dining scene is anything but sleepy.
With mountain views, family-friendly patios, and a strong craft culture, these staples offer quality and comfort—no need to drive up to Denver.
Sushi Katsu
A perennial favorite for sushi with excellent value, Sushi Katsu balances freshness with a wide menu that pleases purists and roll-lovers alike.
Nigiri is clean and well-cut, and specialty rolls avoid the trap of being all sauce, no fish.
Tempura is light and crisp, miso soup is flavorful, and the pacing is efficient even on busy nights.
The staff keeps regulars coming back, and lunch deals make it an easy midweek treat.
ViewHouse Centennial
Part sports bar, part rooftop party, part family hangout, ViewHouse is designed for groups and game days.
The menu casts a wide net—burgers, tacos, salads, and shareables like pretzels with beer cheese—while the bar leans into local beer and crowd-pleasing cocktails.
On warm evenings, the lawn games and sweeping views set the tone; on Sundays, brunch turns the place into a scene.
It’s loud in the best way and tailor-made for celebrations.
Los Dos Potrillos
A south metro staple, Los Dos Potrillos nails the Tex-Mex/Nuevo Mex crossover with strong margaritas and plates that satisfy.
The green chile has body and heat, the fajitas sizzle convincingly, and the enchiladas arrive smothered and comforting. Seafood dishes—shrimp diablo, ceviche—show surprising finesse.
The bar’s tequila selection is deep, and service is quick and friendly.
It’s a go-to for birthdays, team dinners, and nights when only chips and salsa will do.
The Crave Kitchen & Bar
Crave leans modern American with creative burgers, loaded sandwiches, and indulgent twists.
The burger program is the headline—think bacon jam, fried eggs, and green chile add-ons—while fries arrive crisp and seasoned. Milkshakes (boozy or not) make dessert a foregone conclusion.
The space is lively without being chaotic, and the staff is great with kids and big parties. For casual nights with a little flair, it’s a reliable winner.
Izakaya Den Corner
For a cozy Japanese comfort fix, Ichiban Sushi & Ramen in the Centennial area hits the spot with steaming bowls and careful sushi.
Tonkotsu broth is rich and layered, the spicy miso brings warmth, and chashu is tender.
Rolls are balanced, not overloaded, and the gyoza are pan-seared just right. It’s a neighborhood standby—consistent, friendly, and perfect for snowy evenings or quick lunches.
