    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy With Eggs
    Sarah C.

    I love this chain restaurant and especially this location. The service is always wonderful. Our servers are always kind and attentive. I enjoy the food options here and everything always come out looking delicious! The restaurant itself is clean and has cute decor. The seats and tables are never dirty and overall I enjoy this breakfast place. The prices are average but nothing too too expensive or crazy! I highly recommend this restaurant

    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 .

    Seoul hash. All the Korean flavors.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    French toast
    Bobbi D.

    Omg, edit to say I understand the reviews now - six hours later and I'm ill. I'll spare the gory details but wow. Omg. I am certain it was the kale drink. Original review: I was surprised by the reviews! We ended up here because we couldn't get in anywhere else for Mother's Day! We were greeted kindly, seated immediately, and served promptly! The juice bar is AMAZING - I had the kale apple vodka cocktail - SO delicious. And the French toast was amazing! Definitely planning to come back!

Aside from a tiny parking lot, there wasn't a lot to complain about. On both visits we had excellent service. The servers were knowledgeable, friendly and knew exactly when to return to our table. What I witnessed from all employees gave me the sense they enjoyed working there. The restaurant offers a great happy hour. Good discounts on food and drink. It also covers a fair number of hours. I'd be attracted by that alone. There is something for everyone on their menu. The food came out quickly and was well prepared on both of our visits. It was very tasty and the portion sizes were very good. I had their special Royale Burger on my first visit. Knowing their corned beef was made in-house, made getting their Classic Reuben a slam dunk on my second visit. My dining partner agreed that the food was very good.

Tips and upcharge notice- When it came time to pay the bill the waiter took my CC and put it into his machine standing at our table. He had the gratuity set at 22%. Okay, a little bold I thought and I could have changed it, but I didn't. Then came the receipt with an additional 5% added. So, I paid almost 30% more for lunch. Mind you none of this is told to you. They do have a sign posted but it's hidden in the bathroom. So, if you don't use the facilities, you will never see it. It basically says it's so the back of house can be tipped and so they do not raise food prices, (which they have a bunch over the years). Just wanted my fellow Yelpers to be aware. Note- I have been here multiple times, and probably will again.,

Fortunately, it is close to our home and the reviews looked great. When we arrived, we redirected from the main dining room to another space the restaurant owns 2 doors down. I wonder if we may have had a more attentive experience had we been in the original? The first disappointment was that our meal took 40 minutes to arrive from the time that we sat down. Our waiter consistently forgot that my husband had ordered a Diet Coke or to refill the drink when he had offered. The tables around us seemingly were served earlier, even though we all placed our orders around the same time. I ordered the Thai Pork Belly Benedict, which was absolutely delectable and definitely something write home about! And the country potatoes side was perfectly seasoned and crispy. I would absolutely go back for this, just maybe on a weekday brunch due to the wait. I thought it was extremely unique how the children's menu was plated in a muffin tin, with 6 different food choices for just $12. Great deal! My husband had a Belgian waffle topped with fruit, which was really unremarkable. Reminiscent of something that you might self-make at a hotel breakfast. Unfortunately, his waffle was cold, and he requested that they remake, which our server made sure was done in a timely manner. All in all, our meal was very reasonably priced at around $43. I just wish it hadn't been such a long wait, both to receive the initial order and for drink refills.

Add the friendly servers, the hardworking kitchen staff in the back and the efficiency of the whole place - you've got a great experience every time. I'm a fan of routine and consistency when I'm not feeling adventurous - or when I have a hankering for something specific. First Watch totally delivers here. We've ordered a pitcher of the blackberry muddled sangria recently and love that it's made fresh. We splurged this past time and couldn't pass up their pumpkin spice donut holes and my guy had their seasonal Maple Bacon Croissant sandwich (I had a bite and vowed to order this on our next trip!). I'm a fan of spice and ordered the Chili Chorizo omelette. No bad orders here - and their plating is so nice. I'm a fan, always have been. If you haven't been, this is your sign.
