Backcountry Delicatessen

I love this place. I use to work close to the Treemont location but I changed jobs. I came in today and had the same quality service, food and environment. They have a great music selection and laid back atmosphere. I got the Sherpa on a French baguette grilled. My goodness it's delicious. Just like I remember. This is a jewel in a sea of food options downtown.

Delicious sandwiches, I got ham egg sammy & my husband got bacon egg sammy. The portion is small but can’t complain for the taste. *The picture is ham sandwich

Edit: my food finally arrived 45 minutes late, and a very nice manager called later in the afternoon to apologize for the delay. Sounds like they were absolutely swamped so I’d be happy to give them another shot. I really like the food here, but my latest attempt to order delivery was really disappointing. Per the order confirmation email, my food should have been delivered almost 40 minutes ago - I tried several times after that to call the restaurant to check the status of my order because I know delays can happen, but the calls kept rolling over to a random voicemail and I couldn’t speak with a human. So now I’m stuck in lunch-less purgatory…

I had a one star review on this place. Wasn’t about me. I once worked in the food industry. It’s hard work. After some reflection, I’m giving Yampa a five star review. Thank you for your hard work! I’m also inspired to support food service workers with kind words and encouragement. Thank you.

Ordered the bushwacker 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 cobb salad. Tasted great. A little bit of a wait but it was certainly busy in that midweek lunch hour rush.

Don't go near here at lunch. If you get the bad luck of the draw in who is preparing your order, you can starve to death.

Had a wonderful lunch appointment. The Sherpa sandwich as a wrap, chips, soda and meeting with Niles from Fig Advertising. Smiling fast service. Fresh ingredients. Clean dining room. Definitely 5 stars. Sorry I forgot to snap a picture.

Been here multiples times now and wow...most likely the best sandwich spot in Denver. Seriously. I've tried the Dirty Bird, Cubano, and Italian Beef and I'm blown away each time. Really friendly and fast service too.

Amazing! Sarah gave exceptional service. If I lived in the Denver area, I would at least come by once a month. My girlfriend and I had a 5-hour layover at the airport, so we took the train to union station and just walked around until we found a restaurant that looked good. We didn’t want to spend too much money, so a sandwich shop sounded pretty good. When we walked in, we loved how the ambiance and decoration was modern and rustic. But the food was even better! She got the Ridgeline and I got the Expedition. Both phenomenal! The soup of the day was especially good as it snowed outside. They have topical maps of Colorado on the table, which is kinda fun. And the cookie was also one of the best I’ve ever had! Sarah brought the food out to us within 10 minutes for sure. Probably closer to 5. Can’t say enough good about it! I want these guys to franchise all over the west!

Customer Service is always ON POINT. I usually do online order, and when I thought there was a mix-up there wasn't - I was ordering wrong, apparently, manager called within 10 minutes and addressed the minor situation politely and efficiently. Food is always incredible. These guys are a stellar downtown option. Great sandwich selection, and the salads are very, very good. They have a ton of veggie options to pile on. I go here at least 2-3 times/week consistently. They don't disappoint.
