    Steak and eggs hash
    Carolyn H.

    From the minute you walk in it's a warm welcome and all the staff is so friendly. The holiday menu has lots of wonderful options food and drinks. Nice music playing so you can hold a conversation and enjoy your company. The steak eggs hash is a must as all the flavors come together nicely, the steak is thinly sliced, mushrooms n spinach sauté and potatoes nicely cooked along the eggs and lite cream sauce was delicious. Just really enjoy this restaurant and you will to .

    Classic eggs Benedict.

    Our dining experience here was great, right up until the hollandaise sauce hit my tongue. Heavy lemon!! Lemon sauce is more like it. The potatoes didn't seem fully cooked, and the chicken sausage resembled a frozen chicken patty. The waiter stopped by to ask how everything was. I told him about the hollandaise and he said "okay". That was the last we saw of him until I flagged him down for the check. Overall, nice place, good prompt and friendly service. I just am questioning the back side of the house for this visit.

    1.5 minute egg?  Yuck.
    Tim L.

    Although I was treated to breakfast by my family, the experience of those of us who ordered any of the benedict options were left disappointed due to a lack of quality assurance / skipped step in the kitchen. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict. The bread was good, the salmon was good. The side salad was fine. Unfortunately the "poached" eggs were as close to raw as could be while still (barely) holding its shape. I knew when the plate was put before me and saw how sagging the eggs were. (see picture) Also they were room temperature at best, so I assume the kitchen pre-poaches them for maybe 1.5-2 minutes and is supposed to finish them in boiling water for service? This obviously did not happen. Sadly, the hollandaise sauce was similarly not warmed either. You may ask "why didn't you send it back"? Frankly I'm super paranoid that someone in the kitchen gets mad and does something gross to my food. So I just scraped the egg of onto the plate and ate around it. The service was on-point except not noticing the problem with the benedicts. Coffee was refilled and our order came out together for the whole table. Servers were friendly and quick. People who didn't order benedicts were perfectly fine with their meals. Ambiance is chill and the place is clean. All in all we had three people with undercooked eggs and "cold" hollandaise. My mom is in her 80s and she actually ate the near raw egg, which is a huge risk. We dined in on Sunday 9/8/2024 at 10am.

    Seoul hash. All the Korean flavors.
    Dale Z.

    This was SUNNY SEOUL HASH. It was shaved seared pork tossed with freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell peppers, kimchi, with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. On top of that, I had two over medium eggs, scallions, sesame seeds and gochujang aioli. The concept was good, but the execution was poor. The eggs were over easy, the potatoes had both under and over done pieces. And, the entire thing ate very salty. The non salty, non charred bits were okay. It needed more meat and more kimchi. Service took a bit long for my initial order, but was very good after that. I was able to get in and out of here any reasonable period of time on a Monday morning.

    Avocado toast
    Steph A.

    Such a cute spot. We ordered take out from them awhile back and more than half our order was missing so I wanted to come in to give it a second chance. We started with all the drinks - honey Carmel crunch iced coffee, purple haze and watermelon wake up. All were really good. Juice is fresh squeezed daily! The honey caramel crunch ice coffee was really chocolately in flavor. We also got the million dollar bacon which was good! We then ordered the avocado toast, which I asked for with smoked salmon. Didn't come with the smoked salmon but it was on our bill, which they took off. I was a bit disappointed as there really wasn't a substantial amount of avocado on the toast and it wasn't seasoned and there was no toppings on it - very bland. My fiancé got the Bacado Omelette, which didn't blow him away but wasn't terrible. We then got the sweet pecan honey salad, which I've had before and really liked. There was no dressing on it (or barely any to be noticeable) so we had to ask for more on the side. But other than that it was probably the second best thing we had next to the drinks. The service was average, we had to flag down the server a few times. We never got water when we sat down and when we asked we got water in plastic cups? That was really odd when other tables around us got water right away with glass cups. Our server never really checked on us once we got our food, we had to flag him down to ask for dressing and he made no mention to the fact that I never got the smoked salmon. Overall, I wasn't blown away but it's a nice little brunch spot in the area so I would go back and try something else

    Chicken Pesto Hash
    Alexa G.

    Yummy brunch and no wait time! We got there at 10 and didn't have to wait. They do have a virtual line you can put your name on. Just make sure you know which location you're looking at! I overheard multiple people had their name on the wrong Arvada location list. The coffee was meh - nothing special diner coffee, but they give you a large carafe which was nice. I didn't ask but on the table they only provide you the packaged containers of "creamer." The food was really good- my friend and I both enjoyed our meals. I would definitely go back but probably skip the coffee and try one of their juices instead.

    Great place for families to enjoy a good breakfast! Came here with my sister, brother-in-law, nieces, etc. and they treated us with grace and had a lot of patience. We needed three tables and we constantly were asking for things because our little ones were always needing more napkins. The food was wonderful! I highly recommend the turkey wrap. Everything was of great proportion and the fresh orange juice made it even better. Thank you to the staff for having the will power to "work with us" for about 2 hours!!

I had been eying their Cucumber and Fire cocktail while waiting and it didn't disappoint. The refreshing cucumber balanced the jalapeño really well. Yum. The parents split a fabulous looking French Dip and rated it well (4 outta 5 stars). Their massive fans and we're looking for a bit more flavor in the horseradish dip for a perfect score. Not bad. Me? I ordered the Melted Monk sandwich with tomato bisque. I nixed the kettle chips. Absolute fan of the bisque. I could have had a gallon of it - really flavorful with great mouth feel. So good. I wasn't a fan of the Melted Monk sandwich, but also wasn't sure how the green apple slices would pair with the caramelized onions and raclette cheese, on cranberry walnut bread. Sounded interesting. Not bad, but wouldn't order it again. That aside, I'm still a fan. Teller's has always been a great choice and I'll return to some of my favorites next time. Never hurts to try something new! My guy raved about his Ahi Burger, and man, it was so much food. His tots were so good! I'm likely ordering this next time. Also - I almost forgot! The oysters were amazing - under fresh, if you can believe it. Teller's gets 6 deliveries a week of seafood. It totally shows. Yum.

It detracted from an otherwise decent meal and left me questioning the broader approach to customer care. A simple, upfront note--or a brief verbal heads-up--would resolve the issue entirely and raise the experience to the standard one expects. As it stands, it left a faintly sour impression wholly disproportionate to the amount of sour cream involved.
