Day 10 Merles, Littleton Colorado
On Day 10 of 365 Things to Do in South Denver Suburbs we are going to eat at one of the best patios on the Denver Suburbs, at Merle’s in the Littleton neighborhood of downtown Littleton. Merle’s is a fantastic place to dine out on the patio and enjoy the food and scenery. And that is one of the great things about living in Denver, the outdoor dining! Even if you visit and the patio is full or its one of our rainy afternoons we’ve been having – the inside is pretty great too!
Merle’s is a great family restaurant in the south Denver suburbs that has been opened for almost 2 years now in what originally was a gas station in downtown Littleton and was later an automotive garage.
The garage theme is still apparent and used to it’s advantage – the giant garage doors now open to make the restaurant downstairs part of the downtown Littleton scene. Its one of its big plus points.
The upstairs patio is fantastic, with umbrella seating and flowers everywhere – its just a nice, affordable restaurant with
great food, great prices and perfect for the whole family.
Some of the things I have had a Merle’s and loved are: Rocky Mount Burger, Ribs, Brisket, Spinach Salad, Mark’s Burger. My kid’s are big fans of the Wings, Nachos and Root Beer Floats. We have not yet been to the weekend brunch, but that is on the To-Do List.
If you are looking for something to do on the weekends, check out the event calendar as well, many Friday and Saturday evenings include a band at Merle’s. During peak hours you probably will wait for a table, but its worth it.

The MOST BIZARRE experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Myself and another friend decided to meet for dinner and try Merles restaurant in Littleton, Colorado. We are seated at a very small table. The waitress arrived and took our drink order. She returned with bottled water and a coke and proceeded to take our food order. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. Within 5 minutes a different food server appeared with our entrees , NOT or appetizer. We asked if we could have our appetizer first and our entrees when we are done. The waitress left and the waitress who took our food order stopped by and we told her what happened and asked if she could check on the appetizer. She had a perplexed look on her face and she replied that she would go check on it. Moments later she returned with the appetizer. We were not barely into the appetizer when a completely different waitress tried to deliver our entrees a second time. Please keep in mind the table was barely big enough for a plate of nachos, two side dishes and a coke and a bottle of water! I asked the waitress to return the food to the kitchen and if she could wait until we finished our appetizer. Moments later the “manager” stopped by the table and stated he was made aware we have sent our food back to the kitchen twice and told us he comp’ed the entire bill and order us to leave the restaurant! We got up and exited the restaurant, while outside the a man who identified himself as the “owner” followed us outside and told us he order the manager to ask us to leave because he did not approve of the way we treated his food server! REALLY. He said a while back he had “some guy” yelled at on of his wait staff and he wanted to be proactive and do what he could to prevent it from happening again. OK! we explained what happened and he said business is SO GREAT he doesn’t need customers like us! REALLY Like WTF did we do wrong? WOW
