Steve S.

Place was very busy and I can see why as the food is delicious and the servers are friendly and efficient. I had the chili chorizo omelette and the green chilis and roasted onions made this taste excellent. Fruit afterwards helped cleanse the pallet.

My friend and I were looking for a healthy meal after doing Pilates and we decided to go to first watch because we both enjoy their power breakfast bowl. We also decided to get the pesto chicken quinoa bowl which we both loved just as much! We also got a Bloody Mary and I added a little more hot sauce to it and it was exactly the drink we needed! Our server was kind and always made sure we had everything we needed. It was pretty busy on a Saturday around 12:30 pm but we got seated immediately at the community table. It's a solid breakfast/brunch place and one of the only good ones on the north side of Denver.

I like this place better than many other breakfast places they have a menu that ranges and changes so you can always go back for something different prices aren't too bad and if you join their club, they'll send you a Bogo, which isn't just 50% off but buy one get one free enjoy.

Lavender French Toast
Stephanie C.

Located in a strip mall so plenty of parking available in the surrounding lots. Wait time was about 10-15 minutes on a Sunday morning, which was not bad, but they also had available open seating on some high top tables right by the front m, so we opted for that instead. The end seats are right by the waiting area, so if you sit there you may have some people waiting right behind you. Service was good considering how busy they can be, though once you get your food we didn't have anyone come by until we were done and waiting for the check. A little loud but you can still talk to/hear the people at your table. Food has always been consistent, good, with decent portion sizes. I recommend the Floridian French toast, which has very fresh fruit. I tried the seasonal special most recently, the lavender French toast and it was just as good - although it is on the sweeter side. The side of fresh potatoes was fine, though the potatoes were a bit soggy, the sauce on top and bacon were good. You also can't go wrong with the traditional breakfast.

Classic Benedict
Alexa S.

If you go early, you don't have to wait. We got there around 9 am and sat right down. The restaurant is pretty standard with booths and tables, and the additional coat hooks were nice since it was a cold day. The staff were helpful. The food was good just some different takes on items. The Benedict came on like a soft ciabatta roll that was cut in half. The texture was just not the same as an English muffin. The donut was a delicious starter while we waited for our mains. The cheesecake made it extra delicious. I know the food quality is a little better than maybe a diner, but we will probably not come as often since it is more expensive.

My family loves First Watch so when I asked my MIL where she wanted to celebrate her birthday, she of course chose First Watch. I was able to join the waitlist for a Sunday morning for 8 people and we didn't have to wait after checking in. It worked out amazing as we were there at 9a and was in the lull between the super early eaters and those in church. All of our food was amazingly delicious. Because it was busy, our food came out a little slower and our cornbread that we wanted to come out first only came out 2 min before our meals. I also think they were understaffed as our server was a little hard to find, but you could tell that she was working so hard.

This establishment provided an excellent breakfast experience. The service we received was exceptional, and both my colleague and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The breakfast, in particular, was outstanding.

We ordered First Watch through UberEats and the food was surprisingly still pretty good when it arrived. Honestly, I think it would've been better to eat in person. The proportions were huge for the pancakes. I had the lemon and strawberry one and it was pretty good. It was a lot of food. The tacos were also surprisingly tasty as well. They're full of flavor. I got a few bites from my boyfriend's order. The lavender lemonade was super tasty. I was happy I could taste the lavender aroma and it wasn't just added for pretty photos.

The lavender drink
Hav H.

Went here while visiting a friend in Denver. The service was GREAT! The food was ok, it wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. Some of my food seemed not cooked properly like the toast wasn't toasted and my potatoes were cooked well done on one side and a bit uncooked on the other side. The lavender drink was nice and I would try this place again because the service was really good!! It might have been an off day as they were so busy!!

Lavender Haze Drink
Zane F.

Food: Awesome! For a drink I had the purple haze drink, which I renamed the lavender haze drink (iykyk), and it was excellent! Fresh tasting and a strong pop of color! For my meal I had the Elevated Egg Sandwich, and it was yummy. The avocado smash was quite nice, and I appreciated the freshness the greens brought. The potatoes were also good and were seasoned very well. Service: Our server was awesome! Very kind and super helpful. Ambience: A good breakfast/brunch place that reminds me of like a little farmhouse with their menus and such. Overall: Awesome! Good food, and juice, would totally come back!

Breakfast was average. Potatoes undercooked and meal was overpriced. Would recommend cooks testing food before being served.

And, my, oh my, as soon as we parked, we saw the line. Thank goodness, these folks were on their game and despite a decently long line to be seated, they were able to get us in pretty quickly and continued to do so with others, throughout our entire visit. This is teamwork at its best - front and back of the house killing it. We ordered brunch cocktails (bloody mary and mimosa), shared one of their seasonal specials (churro french toast) and had entrees (chilaquiles and crispy rellenos & eggs). Yes, before you think it, yes, we ordered way too much food but took some home with us. Service was really great - fast and cooked to order. Our server checked on us often but not so much that we felt rushed (despite seeing all the folks waiting to be seated, lol). It was a great meal that we'd drive back for. Brunch House has a great vibe - a bit of an upscale diner feel with really elevated food. We will def return in the fall and maybe sit outside. Do yourself a favor, add them to your short list.

I have been putting this spot off... pretty much since it opened…read more The name 5280 has just been done to death so it never really stood out as a place that I needed to go and I figured it was a gimmick. This compared to some unfavorable reviews I read (mostly on delivery apps) made me just not really care. I went here for a work lunch with a friend and man, I really enjoyed it. I ordered the Mile High Smash burger and it was maybe one of the best burgers I have had from a restaurant in a good long time. It was pretty much exactly what I want from a burger. Tender patties with that crisp edge, soft bun, and I love onion straws on a burger. I would get this every time going back and recommend you (the reader of this review) to get it as well. I also got the onion rings and fries. Noticed it was a bit more expensive as a side but went for it anyway. Our server did warn me that it is a VERY large side and being a dumb man I just ordered it anyway. It was way too large of a side. Mainly fries and maybe like 7 onion rings? Let me tell you though, those onion rings were fantastic. They had a nice little zest to them that cemented that I would just order onion rings in the future. Fries were basic and what you might want or expect from a burger place. Pretty sure they make their own ketchup here! Not good or bad but worth mentioning. Finally, I had a 5280 Lager with my meal. It was crisp and easy to drink but nothing more to say besides that. This place is a bit pricey and I normally deduct points when a place doesn't offer burgers with fries as a standard but overall the meal was too good to let that petty stance detract from the experience. There are a couple American eateries in that area and you would be making the best choice if you went here.

Food does take a while so if you're coming for lunch, maybe call and place an order ahead of time. Everything we ordered was so good and each bite was quite flavorful.

The guacamole was good. Their homemade refried beans were the highlight, definitely not the canned stuff. My fiancé was craving takeout Mexican food (not Chipotle) and this hit the spot for him. He loved the chili cheese fries and the smothered asada burrito especially. It's obviously a different category than a sit-down spot like Alma Fonda Fina, but for takeout, this is genuinely good. Solid flavor and good portions for the price. Worth trying, especially if you're in the mood for the real deal over a chain!
