It’s Saturday afternoon, and you’re worn out after hours in the sun at your kid’s soccer game. You’re hot. You’re tired. Yet the kids are still buzzing around like bees to flowers. How do they have so much energy?? And, of course, they’re STARVING. What to do?

Keep the oven turned off, and take the family (and dog!) over to John’s Table Kitchen & Bar within the central hub of Broomfield, Lafayette, Superior and Louisville communities. This tucked-away gem is a family-gathering place with elevated home cooking, ice-cold beverages and a large patio with giant classic games like Connect 4, Sorry, Tic Tac Toe and Jenga. Let the kids entertain themselves while you savor a cold happy hour drink and snacks and peacefully peruse the menu.

Everything on the menu is made from scratch, from the burgers that they grind in-house to the pulled pork smoked in-house with a tequila blueberry (or perhaps peach—the fruit in the sauce is seasonal) to the hand-cut fries that are—you guessed it—cut in-house.

Have an allergy or does your child not like tomatoes that are often served with burgers? No problem—the kitchen can adjust meals to be gluten-free, vegetarian or dairy-free. Or they can just remove those icky tomatoes.

And speaking of not liking things, owner Alex Gianopoulos understands that kids can be…well, picky. Chef Alex creates kids’ meals with the help of his 10-year-old son, Elias. If Elias doesn’t like it, it’s not going on the menu!

Alex and his wife, Kelli, have turned this amazing space into a thriving community hub. Alex’s family is full of restaurant- and food-inspired stories and history. The name, John’s Table, is an homage to Alex’s grandfather, John, who owned a restaurant called John’s Place. Alex wanted to honor his brother, who passed away at age 24 from a car accident, and his family by creating a place where people can gather and bond over food.

So, while the kids burn off the last of their energy, sit back and enjoy a meal that feels like home—without the cooking or cleanup.
