Breakfast burrito
Simone R.

We love this hidden Arvada gem. Wonderful service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito smothered and traditional Benedict. The French toast is good, but nothing too notable. Drinks are a little pricey for what you get but all-in-all, highly recommend!

Hidden Gem. Think snooze meets steuben's at half price. Sleepy part of Arvada burbs in a plaza across from a gas station, but we're not here for ambiance or even service. But I must say it's one of the few I'd drop a 30% tip and still walk away overwhelmed with satisfaction. Breakfast food exceptional, service genuinely giving. (yes try those oat pancakes!)

Louisville location

Spacious cafe. A bit cold. Prompt and friendly service. French toast was off the charts! Crepe Florentine was loaded with stuffing. They are on top of coffee refills.

Sunrise
Rob W.

Great food and great service. I have been here numbers times, and have never been disappointed. The staff is cheerful and helpful. I had the sunrise which is hash browns eggs and topped with delicious green Chile.

This is maybe the most convoluted review I've ever written:…read moreWe were happy to get a spot here on OpenTable for Mother's Day. 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.

Shout out to the bartender, it was her first day back working at BDB at this location and a few staff did not show up to their shifts that evening. I forgot her name but she had a beautiful dragonfly tattoo on her neck. She provided amazing service, was super attentive even though she was insanely busy. Checked in on us before our beers ran out and got our refills. I ordered the smash burger and my partner ordered the bistro burger. He loved the bistro burger because when I looked back at him, his burger was gone. Inhaled it. My smash burger was good, but it was way over seasoned. The patty is thinner so I wonder if they took the same approach as seasoning the regular burgers... Took off a star for that.. and the soft fries... but the tater tots, the deviled eggs, the beers, the service were all top notch. Definitely will be back for their happy hour weekdays, seems to be a great deal. Their own Bad Daddy Amber is always a great deal too. Thanks for the good times!

While walking along Tennyson, I noted the nice selection of dining options, but it was the…read morewonderful aroma of burgers that lead me straight to Lucy's Burger Bar. As Lucy's is known for their stuffed burgers, I went with The Juicy Lucy and a half order of fries. The burgers are made with a 76/24 blend and stuffed with cheese, onions, and pickles. There are plenty of add-ons (tomato, lettuce, pepperoncini, bacon, even an egg), but go easy as these burgers are seriously indulgent and filling. The skinny fries were fabulous (you can't have just one). My order arrived quick AND hot. The burger was good and as promised, juicy. Definitely recommend indulging in a cocktail too. Lucy's infuses their vodka so check out the Cherry Spritz (it isn't quite as tart as the name implies) or the pineapple flavored Lucy's Spritz. Beer and wine are served as well as Pepsi products.

I didn't want to leave a bad review at a local place, so I messaged the owner sharing my…read moreexperience, but they chose to completely ignore me, so here goes. My wife and I popped in to try it out and got the classic stuffed burgers. The burgers were almost 20 bucks each with no sides, which would be fine if they were exceptionally tasty or high-quality, but they tasted as if they came from the frozen section at Walmart. The stuffed cheese was barely existent, and I was charged for adding lettuce and tomatoes. Wtf? The fries were good, but they were clearly from a giant frozen bag, so charging extra for them seems crazy considering the burgers were almost 20 bucks. When it was all said and done, we paid over 80 dollars for two mediocre (borderline bad) burgers, one side of fries to share, a Bloody Mary, and a cheap canned beer. We left with with a very bad taste in our mouth both literally and figuratively. The only saving grace was that the server was very friendly and nice. That's the second star. Also, we chose this place because we had some cash on the in-kind app, but when we went to pay, they said they had changed POS systems, so they were essentially engaging in false advertising. They did give us a drink coupon, but we won't be back ever.

We possess a strange, biological urge to turn ordinary, commercial enterprises into places of…read moreworship. In-N-Out is a prime example of this phenomenon. Two of my traveling companions insisted that our road trip could not proceed until we made a pilgrimage to the location on Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada. Because we live on the East Coast where this particular brand of fast food does not exist, they spoke of the restaurant with a quiet, holy reverence. One would think we were approaching an ancient mountain sanctuary rather than a burger joint with crisscrossed neon palm trees. The parking lot was a scene of controlled suburban chaos. Inside, the dining room was intensely clean. Young workers wearing crisp white aprons, red paper hats, and giant safety pins moved with the focused speed of emergency room nurses. Behind the counter, an employee was actively converting raw potatoes into fries with a mechanical slicer right in front of the counter. I ordered a Double Double, an order of Animal Style fries covered in "spread" and grilled onions, and a lemonade. The beef was fresh and never frozen, the lettuce was crisp, and the total cost was surprisingly reasonable. It was a very good, highly efficient lunch. This is where I must commit a mild blasphemy: I still prefer Five Guys. Somewhere in California, a true believer has just dropped his burger in absolute horror. Five Guys offers chaotic brown paper bags spilling over with greasy fries. In-N-Out offers geometric perfection, extreme order, and a secret menu that everyone on earth seems to know about. In-N-Out has mastered the art of doing a few simple things with absolute precision. I respect the machinery of it, and if I am ever passing through Arvada for some reason again, I will happily stop for another meal. I will simply leave the religious devotion to someone else.

It took 20+ minutes for dine in to get 2 burgers and 1 fry. I understand they're prioritizing drive…read morethough - but this was something else. Sunday night. We came in at 8:25, and did not get our food until 8:46. Food was fine. Fries were at least hot. Though "extra pickles" usually means more than 4, but I was too tired and hungry to care. The other in n outs in the area have always been faster and better. Will skip this one next time.
