    Vomit in sink.
    Nathaniel K.

    Walked in and instead of someone coming over to seat us the owner waived us in from across the room. Waited 5 minutes for the bar tender to take our drink order. Waited another 10 minutes for a menu. Had to go over to owner and request them. Waited 5 minutes and again had to say something for the bar tender to come take our order. Food came out quickly but not together. Ordered onion rings instead of French fries to go with burger but still got fries. They made that right but the onion rings were very greasy and had two slices of onion instead of one. They soaked several napkins per ring. Both men's and women's bathroom were disgusting and looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in a week. Men's urinal was backed up with what looked like vomit. Their wasn't a single usable toilet in the women's room and also a note asking customers to use less soap because it's expensive. Both bathrooms had small bottles of soft soap because the mounted dispensers were broken.

    The cajun....yum!

    After being ignored at another restaurant, we happened on this restaurant and I am so glad we did! We were greeted enthusiastically by the manager, Shari. She has extremely awesome customer service. After we ordered, I was reading the reviews on here and was afraid our food would be gross, according to the reviews. However, our burgers were so big, juicy, and full of flavor that I'm glad, once again, that we stopped here. Those burgers are awesome! They don't skimp on the meat, making the burger gigantic. It was delicious! Our server, Jalee, is also super great! She always checked on us and made sure that we were doing ok. The area we sat in was very spacious and bright because there are giant windows and a patio deck next to us. Beautiful view of the city. Shari explained that they do a buffet for every broncos game for 13.99, which includes wings and ribs. We will be bringing friends back for that!

    -Celiac- Gluten-free review-…read more Early Bird!! You did that. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, everything was A1 son. The vibe is cozy and local, and every interaction we had with staff was friendly and warm. The drip coffee was sooooooo good. I could have put an entire carafe away on flavor alone. The cocktail menu had some unique drinks on it, didn't partake during this visit but definitely would try them on a future visit. The owner's daughter has celiac disease, so they take great precautions with cross-contact and most of the menu can be made gluten free. No pancakes or biscuits, but the fryer is dedicated and they have a dedicated waffle maker. I got the chicken fried chicken and my wife got the chicken and waffles. Yall. YALL. YALLLLLLLLLLL!!! Where tf do I even begin. Chicken was perfectly crispy and tender tender. I could bathe in that white gravy and die happy. Potatoes cooked perfectly. Gf bread toasted perfectly. Arugula fresh. Shishito pepper perfectly charred. Idk what yall use for hot sauce, but that joint was GOOD. And I know this is a small footnote, but this plate also came with tomato. When eating out and there's a veggie 'garnish' it's typically served some nothing-burger, tasteless, it's just there for a pop of color tomato. But even the tomato on this plate was so subtly good. And that tells me a lottttt about the kitchen here. When you care about every detail, it shows, and this plate was a home run for me. One of the best breakfasts I've had out to eat hands down. I cleaned that plate. My wife's chicken and waffles were incredibly good. The waffles were thick, but crispy and soft in all the right spots, and the flavor was so good that they could stand completely by themselves- no butter, no syrup, no nothiiiing. Hers came with a small trough of that sweet ass white gravy that basically rendered her side of syrup useless. We have syrup at home! Her chicken was perfectly cooked as well. We didn't want for water or coffee refills at all. I believe our server's name was Ashley and she was on it. She very confidently answered all my questions about safety and handling for the gluten-free options we both had. Yall are killing it here in Midtown, Early Bird.

The menu has so many great options, but my go-tos are the fried chicken and the breakfast burrito (both are amazing). The vibe is fun and quirky, with cute decorations that make it feel cozy and unique. There's plenty of seating both indoors and on the patio, and they even allow dogs outside, which is such a nice touch. Parking is easy with lots of spaces in the front and back, a big plus on busy weekends! Whether you're grabbing brunch with friends or just treating yourself to a relaxed morning, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!

The hostess was nice and seated us at a both. The atmosphere is relaxed, with dated wooden booths and tables, along with an outside area that is pet friendly. Our server, a young woman, was friendly and attentive. I'm sorry, but I can't remember her name. She took our drink order and brought the beers for my son and I, but initially seemed to have forgotten my wife's Coke. Not a big deal. They have some very affordable specials, and my son and I ordered the double cheeseburger and waffle fries while my wife had a steak with steak fries. I found the burger mediocre. It tasted fairly bland, no charred flavor, with lettuce, tomato, and onion that did not stand out to me. The waffle fries were just OK, not soggy but not crispy, either. My wife said her steak was just so-so. My wife wanted a refill of her Coke, and asked for one to go, but the server said, "I don't have that". I'm not sure what that meant: she didn't have to-go cups, or they don't provide that service. Perhaps Mickey's does not do take-out orders. I don't know for sure. But, though the server was very nice, this was a bit off-putting for my wife.

My husband was not as great, but our waiter took care of us entirely. We had the fried mushrooms. They were pretty good. The salads were mediocre. Same with our other sides. All we enjoyed our experience. We took a piece of cheesecake to go, which was good as we walked in the botanical garden.

They have a sign up sheet outside of the door for your name and number, and they call respectively. All the food looked great and smelled amazing - From skillets to Mexican cuisine to classic breakfast dishes.

Pancakes were better than iHOP. Cheree (so?) was our waitress but everyone was helping all the tables equally. She was very kind and attentive.

It did not come with tortillas which is normally standard for a chile rellano breakfast. It was awesome though. Exactly what I wanted.

The breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, breakfast quesadilla, etc. It was all great. The service was great as well. Everyone was polite and the food came out pretty quick. I will definitely be back. This is a great breakfast spot.

Seated in a booth. Promptly approached by server Harumy, quickly provided with a hot carafe of coffee and condiments. The ambiance is clean, cheerful, and inviting.

Still, I finished it so it couldn't have been that bad! I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla (eggs, chiles, cheese, onions, drizzled with avocado cream and served with red salsa), which was very good.

The potatoes were not cooked. We were never checked on again. Then the check came, but the extra bacon I ordered "to go" had not arrived. So she went to get that. We paid at the front with the hostess. It was an extra $5 for 2 pieces of bacon. $2.50 per slice. Is that inflation or price gouging? This is the first time in my life I have never left a tip. I'm usually a really good tipper. And I feel bad about it, but I also want to be taken care of in order to give a tip for good service. This was not good service and the food was mediocre.
