"Leadville 100" was one of the best skillet breakfasts that I think I have ever had. Loaded with hash browns and insane amount of bacon. Covered in 1/2 hollandaise and 1/2 green chile - AMAZING My wife loved her "mineral salad" with a wonderful piece of salmon. Outstanding service from Forrest contributed to a wonderful lunch experience in Leadville. read more

Mineral 1886 - Leadville 100 - 1/2 Hollandaise 1/2 Green Chile - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leadville, Colorado

My friend and I were driving through Leadville when we spontaneously had a craving for lunch; we decided on Mineral. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted and seated. Despite the restaurant being half full, the service was quite brisk. Our server came by and promptly took our orders. I had the customizable omelette. Overall, the omelette was just okay. It was a standard diner style omelette, albeit a bit too over-salted. The pizza, however, was absolutely delicious. The crust was thin and perfectly cooked, with the top surface having a nice crisp. They also gave us the perfect amount of cheese and a hearty amount of meat toppings. Additionally, the dining room is absolutely gorgeous. The building has some significant Leadville history behind it, and they even have original photos on display. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mineral if you're in the area. read more

Located inside the historic Delaware Hotel, Mineral 1886 looked like a great find. The restaurant has a few brick walls and lots of vintage, 100 year old photos on the walls. However, the interior designer mixed in lots of modern touches and furniture so that Mineral 1886 has no architectural continuity. Nothing seems to match or fit with the cool vibe of the historic building. The breakfast of cook to order eggs and crispy fried bacon was alright. However the hashbrowns were rubbery and tasteless. Service was very good, helpful and friendly. read more

Stopped in on a bus tour. Well-rounded menu and four of us thought the food was good. Excellent service. Interesting interior ambience of an old hotel. read more

Recommend their brunch! They have their own homemade donuts- recommend trying at least one for the table. The burgers and fries were delicious. The salad was good but had so much dressing it was like soup at the bottom- it was good though, maybe ask for light dressing or on the side. The building is very cute. It's in a hotel and has plenty of natural lighting. No outdoor seating that we noticed. read more

Lovely historic building. The food was very good. We went after our son and DIL's wedding. The food was very good. Hubby had a pork chop and I have a 1/2 wedge salad. We share a broccolini. The dining area gets a bit warm. They open an outside door but then it gets Chilly. That's an old building for you. read more

After much debate, I ordered the French toast, and I'm so glad I did. It was by far one of the best takes on the dish I've ever had. The toast itself was griddled perfectly. The heavy drizzle of maple cream cheese along with the fresh strawberries added a tangy flavor profile to each bite. The warm syrup made the toast even better. I ordered a side of scrambled eggs which were cooked to the perfect texture -- light and fluffy. I could have eaten a second order easily (the eggs, not the French toast, which was a hefty serving). I loved the eclectic atmosphere and decor inside. I'd love to return to try more of the menu. The pizzas specifically sounded amazing. read more

We had a nice breakfast at this establishment. The servers were very friendly. The building is gorgeous.

Had a good omelette, but the service was confused and slow, the hashbrowns were greasy, and the biscuit tasted odd. Perhaps we arrived at a bad time, but there seemed to be no coordination in this restaurant for seating people and serving breakfast. Some of the employees were clearly trying to be helpful, but with little direction. read more

My last two days on race weekend spent recovering in Leadville, CO. I got to spend time with teammates that live in Leadville. My last night they took me to their favorite restaurant in town. Talk about not only restaurant with history. The hotel that Mineral in was built back in 1886. Leadville use to be mining town small town USA and best part at 10,500ft in elevation. The entrance to restaurant next to the front desk. The interior decor love the vibe you sense the history of the building and shows inside. They have few portraits of people assume have significant to the history. The style of the photo old school and gives you different vibe. Cool. The menu has nice diversity and even burger on the menu. I ended up getting the Scottish salmon entree. It was awesome. The salmon has perfect sear on it. Moist and juicy inside. The potatoes and sauce was amazing. Overall great dish would order again. The Black and Blue Wedge Salad was refreshing. The dressing was tasty. Service five stars!! Friends are regulars still waitress on it the whole time. Friendly. Smiles, Positive vibes. Next time visit will be back. read more

Birthday weekend in Leadville and Mineral 1886 was our breakfast stop on our way back to Denver. First, the good stuff. I'm always impressed by the small touches a dining room or a bar has. Mineral 1886 has a cool, old timey vibe on one hand and some modern touches and decor mixed in, that still fits in, if that makes sense. We stopped in based on the reviews and pics. Breakfast looked great. We ordered the Leadville 100 and the Eggs Benedict. These two for us, didn't hit the spot. The Leadville 100, a skillet bowl was overpowered by the gravy. It was hard to taste any of the other flavors. My eggs benny were bland and the hash browns were not seasoned well. I left more than I ate (which is rare, if ya know me, lol). This reminded me of a diner, maybe a Denny's. On a good note, there are small touches that can be made to get them back into a 4 or 5 star rating. It is the small things. We were in and out pretty quickly. read more

Amazing brunch place in Leadville in a historic hotel - huge portions and tasty food. Great service as well. Perfect place to stop by before that Melanzana appointment. Dishes ordered: Chicken & Waffles (5/5, $15). Strong chicken & waffle dish - waffle was sweet, came with a delicious side of hash browns. Leadville 100 (5/5, $16). Ordered this in burrito form with bacon, mushroom, cheddar cheese and smothered in sausage gravy. Will be dreaming about this. Drinks: Latte (5/5, $5?). Really good simple latte. read more

It wasn't busy. We were seated and waited, and waited, and waited. No drink order, nothing. We left.

service is terrible. hostess was awkward and we waited for 30 minutes nobody greeted us outside, we had a dog so we had to sit outside. we ended up going somewhere else and walked by by 2 hours later and our waters and menus were still on the same table. read more

Delicious breakfast in a wonderful, historic setting. I appreciate that they use vintage glassware - my coffee came in a dainty glass cup and my son's juice in a beautiful tumbler. My veggie omelet was tasty but the real star on the plate was the homemade english muffin. My teen gobbled up his \chicken and waffles - and he's particular about fried chicken! The wait staff was pleasant if a little on the busy side. Loved the re-colored (updated?) vintage photographs. read more

Delicious food and drink in a really cool historic hotel. We have never thought about staying here but after the great breakfast hospitality we had, I will look the next time I am going to Leadville. read more

Mineral 1886 - Bloody Mary - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leadville, Colorado

Mineral 1886 continues to decline. Seems they have changed chefs. Ordered my usual sides of hashbrowns extra crispy and gravy. It was gross. Potatoes weren't extra crispy and sausage in gravy didn't appear done. It was more sausage than gravy and all dumped on one plate. Other party: the bacon was burnt and the butter pats on the toast never melted. read more

We had the house pizza it was so fire, and nice and well done. A side kale salad with egg and the leadville100 skillet with egg hashbrowns bacon and hollendaise sauce. The latte and the chai was really good too. Must stop spot and inside an old hotel so it had really authentic old mining town vibes read more

I tend to be a little leery of restaurants attached to hotels (I don't know why), but I can tell you that the breakfast here is fantastic. They have homemade English muffins and incredible donuts. Plus, my server Ian was the best. If you're in Leadville, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

WOW!! Great vibes, great music, great service, GREAT food!! I highly recommend coming to Mineral 1886, as the food is impeccable! Everything came out hot and delicious. They have great coffee and it's REALLY good, not like that regular diner coffee at all! We also got the sunrise juice with turmeric, carrots, apple and orange juice, YUM!! I also recommend going on your birthday for a free donut because they are the best donuts I've ever had, from the thick texture and flavor, WOW!! I will definitely be back!! Thanks Diane!! read more

Awesome brunch experience. We arrived at 10:30, had to wait a short while and were seated by 10:50 just in time to order breakfast! I got the breakfast burrito smothered gravy and my husband ordered a breakfast sandwich. Both were super hearty meals that we couldn't finish. Also, incredible homemade donuts! Also, the vibes here. The chandeliers are so awesome - I wanted so badly to sit in their private dining room with the glass windows. read more

Brunch was very good. But we were not impressed with the staff. They seem to be in a hurry to get people in and out. We enjoyed the green chili smothered skillet. Also enjoyed the donut. We had to request a donut because it was not on the menu. read more

Really nice new spot in Leadville. The wedge was a great half salad to start with a good mix of dressing, bacon and other bits. The jambalaya had the BEST flavored rice I have ever had and is huge. Definitely a keeper with leftovers. It's a solid spot and one worth stopping into read more

Was extremely excited to check this place out. The design and food looked incredible as we browsed online. Going in we didn't get disappointed. The food was affordable and amazing.

Mineral 1886 - French Toast, omelette and yogurt parfait. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leadville, Colorado

Mineral 1886 feels like a unicorn breakfast spot in the mountains, the food is great, the pricing is incredibly reasonable, and the setting is unique. The menu is compact, but has all the lunch and breakfast staples, entrees are typically under $15 with huge portions and great taste. (You will pay twice that to eat a microwave breakfast in a closet in Breck) It is in an old higher end hotel with a ton of charm, so even if there is a wait to be seated there is a ton of nice waiting room. The service is kind, personal, and professional. Albeit on the slower side. I would not recommend here if you are in a hurry, but if you are looking for a slow morning, this is a must go place in Leadville. read more

Came to this brunch spot because it had great ambiance, and in truth, the food ended up being great. However, the service was truly astonishingly poor. We asked for water several times before getting it, our drinks came out one at a time over around 15 minutes, and we had to ask for silverware after our food arrived. Listening to the room, many of these things happened at other tables. It may have been an understaffed day, but it was enough for us to never come back. read more

I came here as a hiker from the Colorado trail and they did not turn me away even though I probably smelled really bad. I came for breakfast/brunch and they sat us in a really nice dining room which was awesome. This place is like a restaurant but also a hotel and it is historic. The drinks were plentiful there was coffee and juices. For breakfast they had more savory things more sweet things and then they had things that are a little bit more health conscious like yogurt parfaits. No complaints about the staff they were awesome. read more

The location is very cool inside a historic hotel, but the food is classic diner style. I think we just came during a big rush, but the food took 45 minutes to get to us. We felt a little rushed to eat. Here's what the table liked: - the Leadville 100- really hearty skillet breakfast - the donut - the turmeric sunrise juice Here's what you can skip: - the steak and eggs- the steak was just not good, completely over cooked and hard like a puck - the cinnamon roll- hard as a rock and stale read more

We ate here before boarding the Leadville train and were extremely pleased with our decision! Delicious food with prompt and friendly service! We had ages from 18 months to 72 and everyone left happy. Highly recommend! read more

My kids begged for a fancy dinner, so we went to the mineral. Very minor requests were completely ignored on my kids meals, and we had to wait after food was delivered to make them right. As soon as the kids meals were appropriately prepared the server stopped by and said how is everything when it was clear that not one bite at any plate had been had. Waiter was not concerned, my food arrived at the same time and was overcooked immensely. When I brought to his attention 20 minutes after we were served he said he could go have the kitchen cook it more? Why would that work? How is cooking a well done steak going to make it medium rare? The kicker on all of this was he said he would check if they could do anything, but because I ate it and mind you only a third was consumed they didn't feel inclined to make it right. Service was disappointing, food was worse and the attention to the customers at every other table was spot on. We were handed a bum of an experience, not the first time we have eaten here, in fact we have been eating here at breakfast and lunch frequently. But dinner is a different story. Fool me once shame on you and nope not going to fool me twice. Get it right Mineral, your owners know about experience and this was not it. read more
