    French Toasts
    Marisol H.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant. It was recommended to us by a friend who works in the restaurant industry in Aspen and we decided to go here for brunch. We had to wait a little because we arrived at around 11:30 on a Saturday and of course it was full by then. However, since we were only three people, the wait wasn't too bad. The place is big and spacious, and even though it was full, it felt comfortable. We also had a four year-old with us and they had a nice kid menu for him. So each one of us ordered a dish and one of my friends also ordered an extra plate of french toasts to share. French toast here are made with brioche bread, so they were really yummy. I ordered one of their hash dishes and it was served with two eggs any style. I prefer mine over easy. One of my friends ordered the eggs Benedict and the other one, an egg sandwich. We were all happy with our food. Service was also very efficient and quick, even though the restaurant was completely full. I would definitely return here with my husband, who I know is going to enjoy it.

    Really nice place. Service was excellent and the food SO good! I came with my sister and best friend I had not seen in almost 25 years. If I'm ever back in Grand Junction I would have brunch here again.

    Pumpkin pancake

    Came in early in a Saturday. There was 12 of us but luckily we only had to wait about 30 minutes. Service was fast and everything was delicious. Pumpkin pancake was the best I have ever had. Prices were very reasonable

    My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday morning and had an enjoyable breakfast experience as we trekked toward Arches National Park near Moab, UT. The location of the restaurant was fairly convenient, looked nice on the outside in a nice strip mall, plenty of free parking in the mall parking lot, were greeted upon entering, seated immediately, the dining room was nicely decorated, clean, and relaxing, plenty of seating, were served very soon, our server was friendly and patient, the menu had many & varied breakfast & lunch choices, reasonably priced items, my Big Breakfast choice was served barely warm (not hot) within 10 minutes and was delicious (excellent bacon), and the restroom was clean and smelled nice, the free, pass-worded WiFi worked well.

    The new seasonal drink, tangerine dream, when mixed together tastes like an orange creamsicle! Highly recommend! The service was so quick and our waiter was kind and speedy! Very attentive but didn't crowd the table. It got a little loud in there but that's to be expected when you get breakfast on a Saturday morning. The taste of the pancake was amazing and it's so huge! I love the chocolate chip pancakes!

    Waffles with lavender whipped cream

    Excellent food for adults and very kid friendly . Great selection and friendly service

    We were in Grand Junction and for the breakfast we were looking for a place nearby. We decided to have breakfast at First Watch. First Watch is an amazing breakfast restaurant with lot of breakfast options available in the menu. We were greeted by the server along with the menus and water. After browsing through the menu for drinks we ordered Kale Juice, Mimosa and for breakfast we ordered Veggie Omelette, Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl, Avocado, Fruit bowl and Blueberry muffin. The service for first watch was good and first we got the drinks. The juice was delicious with the fresh ingredients. The mimosa was amazing too. The power breakfast quinoa bowl was delicious and healthy breakfast. The veggie omelette was delicious and we loved the omelette. The fruits and avocado were delicious and we loved both of them. Definitely do try their blueberry muffin. It is must to have.

    Trifecta

    I hadn't been to a First Watch in years, but my memories were proven right--it's a tasty place to go! After waffling between a couple of awesome choices, I ended up getting the Trifecta with a waffle. The texture was wonderful. Not too doughy or heavy, but also not too airy. Oh, and that little dollop of butter is heaven. Definitely returning soon!

    This was a great spot to have brunch. We are on a road trip and we searched best breakfast and we are glad that this please deliver the goods there was choices for everyone for breakfast and or lunch. The million dollar bacon was amazing thank God it only cost five dollars they had great smoothies. Everything seemed fresh, but the best part of all was our server Stella, she really made us feel welcome and made our day all the brighter!! Thanks Stella for making our transit thru your city memorable !! Love your energy !! Best of luck on your endeavors!! Thanks first watch !!

    Their new Shishito Brisket Hash. Pork Sausage and coffee.

    Anytime I see a Firstwatch near me when I'm traveling, It's almost guaranteed I'll be visiting. Food was excellent as always. I tried their new Shishito Brisket Hash. It was delicious. Coffee is always on point. The side sausage I could of done without. It was soft and mushy YUK! Flavor was good. Texture was awful. Service in this location was good and friendly. Location was a little wierd. Tucked in a corner, you really have to look for it if you ain't from these parts hēya.(I said that in my head with my best twang accent) not that that accent is from here. Anyways, I enjoyed my experience and will likely visit a few more times while I'm here.

I mean once youre at Mesa Mall and you're panicking you can't find it, just give it the mall a good ole round-a-bout you'll find it trust. Enough about logistics and my biscuit history, lets talk Alarado. The biscuits. Whatever you get, you have to try it with the biscuit. Personally went with the sausage, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich with pepper jack and the BISCUIT ofc. There's something surreal about eating a delicious biscuit breakfast sandwich at 7:00 am in the morning when its raining outside. I'm surprised I even got a photo of it before demolishing it. Now underrated co-start is the breakfast burrito. Because my back is big, I also got a chorizo breakfast burrito with green chili. Goodness gracious, that one also was a banger seriously. Biscuit sandwich or burritos are definitely the move I'd say here. Go get your biscuit on.

    This used to be one of our favorite local breakfast spots, but it's really gone downhill. Service…read moreis minimalist by design, ambiance and decor are nice but dark & dreary during the winter months due to the lighting. I could mention several criticisms of recent managerial decisions, but I'll just limit it to one. The "American Breakfast" has disappeared, replaced by an a la carte ordering model. I assume this reflects price creep and the reality that the market will not support a $20 counter-service breakfast (especially one that prompts for pre-tipping) when a comparable $12 option is available across the street at a full-service restaurant. Combined with long wait times and lukewarm food, caused by either amateurs in the kitchen or lackadaisical food delivery by the counter-staff, Cafe Sol has regretfully moved to my "occasionally OK" list.

The greens added a little kick, the onions perfectly sliced; almost paper thin. The green chiles cut into little morsels add that Smokey bit we crave when we think of fiesta style foods. There were bits of queso fresco crumbled over the whole thing, giving that tang. Even the brown rice was treated with the utmost respect and has the most amazing flavor and hearty texture! Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

    Roots Gastrohub is officially on my list now…read more I first stopped in for breakfast and tried the bison burrito with Rowdy Red salsa, green chilis , and mushrooms because I love me some shrooms. They are straight-up skilled at breakfast burritos. The eggs were cooked perfect -- just enough runny yolk magic -- and yes, I'll always pick runny yolk. I also grabbed Tyler a bacon burrito, which of course I had to "quality control" sample . Tasty too. You really can't go wrong either way. Then after hearing all the comments about their burgers, I had to swing back by downtown Grand Junction at 4th & Colorado . I went with the Tailwhip Bison flat-grilled burger and added jalapeños because, let's be honest, jalapeños make just about everything better. The burger did not disappoint -- great flavor, and the added egg was top notch. The spicy tots were also on point -- crispy, hot, and the perfect side Shout-out to Matt as well. Super nice and great customer service Breakfast burritos and burgers? Yep, Roots is definitely worth the stop. And I've also had their grilled cheese sandwiches... straight-up home runs too Just my opinion -- no feelings harmed in this burrito-and-burger review.

    This is such a cute place for coffee, breakfast, and lunch!…read moreWe got breakfast burritos with bison and grilled onions added, and shared a Cuban coffee. The burritos were huge! I was extremely stuffed after finishing mine, but it was so delicious that I kept on eating until it was all gone. The ingredients were all high quality, even down to the tortilla. I love that bison steak is an option to be added, and it was not tough. I chose the tomatillo salsa option and it was really yummy. The Cuban coffee was more of a brown sugar latte, not really a true Cuban coffee (my fiancé's family is Cuban and we've had plenty of real Cuban coffee in Miami) but it was still delicious nonetheless. The service was extremely friendly and also quite fast. The person working the counter to take orders was also bringing our food and drinks out. The ambiance was really chill and I love how much seating there is on the patio. I appreciated the shade at the large picnic table. It was an overall really lovely experience eating here.
