Best Family Restaurants in Parker

"Since the day this jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring shrine to Japanese cuisine opened in 1985 in Platt Park, diners have waxed poetic, often waiting for hours on the sidewalk to snag a coveted seat in the stunningly appointed space. And it’s easy to see why: Owners and brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki source impeccably fresh fish from Japan and then masterfully create painterly mosaics that are as breathtaking to eat as they are to ogle. If you can score stools at the sushi bar, you’ll get dinner and spectacular knife skill theatrics."

"For more than 30 years, Sushi Den has been preparing Denver’s best and freshest sushi. Despite Colorado’s landlocked geography, owner Toshi Kizaki prides himself on having one of the few restaurants in the country that buys its fish from a Japanese fish market. His younger brother, who is stationed at Nagahama Fish Market in Japan, selects each fish personally before it arrives in Denver just 24 hours later."

"Pearl St. With 4.5 stars out of 1,761 reviews on Yelp, the Japanese sushi bar and cocktail lounge has proved to be a local favorite."

"There’s nothing unique about cheap pizza—except when it’s brought to you by the team behind Frasca Food and Wine, consistently named one of Colorado’s best restaurants. Pizzeria Locale’s two Denver locations may be fast-casual (order at the counter) joints, but there’s no skimping on quality here. Go-to options include the prosciutto and arugula and the Mais, which is topped with ham, corn, and crème fraiche."

"If you can’t tell from this picture, this is the best darn pizza in the state of Colorado. Fresh, homemade dough and local, organic ingredients baked together in a traditional brick oven makes these pizzas taste like they’re right out of Naples, Italy. Simple ingredients and traditional methods make Pizzeria Locale a must."

"Debuting in 2006, the first Larkburger opened at the Edwards Village Center mall off I-70 in Vail Valley. The chain, which rebranded itself in early 2019 as Lark Spot to highlight its menu focus away from burgers, has contracted from 14 outlets at the end of 2018 to now just 2 locations in Boulder and Greenwood Village. The original Larkburger is “temporarily” closed; both Denver locations have closed as well as stores in Kansas and Missouri."

"Larkburger’sgrass-fed meat, Tillamook cheddar cheese and fresh lettuce and tomatoes make this cheeseburger a must-have. They throw on some of their special sauce for the best combination of savory and tangy, and their freshly baked bun is the cherry on top. While their tasty burgers are a reason alone to go, Larkburger’s truffle fries are my favorite fries in Denver, hands down."
