Silver Grill Cafe is a true Fort Collins staple, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. This place has clearly been doing breakfast right for decades--everything feels classic, well-executed, and genuinely satisfying. The food was fantastic, with that kind of quality and consistency you only get from a long-standing local favorite. The atmosphere has a welcoming, no-frills charm, and the service keeps things moving without feeling rushed. You can tell this is a spot people keep coming back to. I'll definitely be back--and I'm already looking forward to trying their lunch next time. read more

Great breakfast joint. This was our 2nd time here. You can't go wrong. They're always busy for a reason. I had the Country Fried Steak and Eggs (over-easy) with a side of Loaded Hashbrowns. My wife had the Breakfast Burrito add Chorizo. Both dishes were very good with the Burrito being our favorite. As usual, I forgot to take the pics until after we started. read more

Immediately when you walk in, the Silver Grill is super welcoming! Its very bright and cute, a little bit old-timey. Our server was so nice and super helpful. She even split our order for us! The Silver Grill is famous for their cinnamon rolls, and once you have one, you understand why. It's sweet but not overly so, and the warm cinnamon and frosting are TO DIE FOR! Also, it is HUGE, perfect for two people to share. We also shared the traditional Benedict, which has an English muffin, grilled ham (SO GOOD), and a poached egg, all smothered in a delicious and flavorful hollandaise. I definitely recommend ordering it. Additionally, they have two house hot sauces that are amazinggg. The red one is very spicy, and it was so good with the ham, but a bit too hot for the potatoes. The green sauce was spicy yet refreshing and paired perfectly with the crispy side of potatoes. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you're visiting Fort Collins, make sure you plan to stop here! read more

We pulled up near Old Town and strolled by the Silver Grill. There was a sizable crowd waiting outside. The smell of brunch wafted down the sidewalk. "Must be pretty good." A few hours later, we were in the mood for brunch and headed toward the car. No line. Yes. We were seated immediately. Our server came by quickly to welcome us and get drink orders. She was on point for our whole meal, checking just regularly enough. The menu offers choices galore for breakfast lunch, coffees, etc. On to the grub... Country breakfast: This is a big meal. The real heroes were the hash browns--seasoned and browned just right. Sausage patties were lackluster, evoking memories of free motel breakfasts--shoulda got bacon. The biscuit held up its end of the deal, The gravy had perfect thick texture, but little flavor. I'd get something else if we came back. Rueben: Very well made for a diner and big enough to take half home. The quality of beef used should be a selling point. Bit skimpy on the kraut. Kids pancakes disappeared quickly, along with a side of thick, tasty bacon. "World Famous" cinnamon rolls: We'd never heard of them but they looked and smelled good. Maybe they are revered around the world. If so, I'm not sure why. After 2-3 bites each, we agreed it was disappointing. Overall, we left stuffed and satisfied. Round up to four stars. read more

Silver Grill Cafe is a local favorite and a must visit if you're in the vicinity. The restaurant is rich in history and has a very homey feel. I always find myself admiring the old pictures of the space since its inception. They have plenty of seating with indoor and outdoor seating options. We arrived on a Saturday morning and were seated pretty quickly. Service was great! Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious as always! We ordered the breakfast tacos which includes 3 soft corn tacos with scrambled eggs, tomato, peppers, onions and chedder jack cheese. Topped with avocado cream and cilantro. For the side, we ordered the hash browns. The meal was delicious and filling! We also ordered the country breakfast which includes 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of bacon, ham, sausage links or sausage patties with a biscuit and gravy and toast. I ordered the bacon and the cinnamon roll toast. The country breakfast was the ultimate comfort breakfast. The cinnamon rolls here are next level and a must have with your meal. The cinnamon roll toast is my favorite. It's a cinnamon roll, split and griddled with butter. It's perfectly toasted and has a light crunch. They also have traditional cinnamon rolls in mini and giant sizes as well as different flavors. They come in traditional/homestyle, pecan, and seasonal flavors. When we visited, they had the creme brûlée cinnamon roll as the seasonal roll. The only "downside" of this place is finding a place to park, but that's expected given the downtown location and the restaurant's popularity. Highly recommend visiting Silver Grill Cafe for a great meal! read more

We got the giant cinnamon roll, a mini pecan roll (that's all the had left size wise) and a giant roll of the month which was cherry almond! They were all SO good. I also got an iced latte. We got everything to go and had them as a picnic in a nearby park. Staff was so friendly and patient as we were deciding what we wanted. The place itself was very busy for sit down service, but we were able to walk in and get things to go with no issue. read more

Stopped at Silver Grill while in the area in 2018 and had to go back to see if it held up to my memory. IT DID!! The cinnamon rolls really are the star of the show. We got a regular and their seasonal one, Strawberry Crunch, which were out of this world. The staff was so sweet, helpful, and welcoming. Traditional diner like decor inside but very cozy. It's a must stop if I'm FOCO. read more

Very good food and service. Nicely located downtown Fort Collins. Highly recommended!

On a visit to FoCO this weekend, decided to visit Silver Grill after not eating here since my CSU days in the early aughts. The place is awesome! Love the old pictures and the way they've renovated the restaurant. It's huge now after moving into more space beside it. Service was excellent. We didn't have to wait as we beat the Sunday rush, arriving at 8:30am. The portions are large! I had the eggs and meat/potatoes with gluten free toast (excellent!) and a fresh OJ and coffee. My sister had the veggie omelette which she loved. The potatoes were crispy and soft and soooo yummy. All around great breakfast spot with many menu options for various dietary needs. read more

This is straightforward a very good breakfast place. They are I guess famous for their Cinnamon Rolls and they are indeed very good but I'm not even a huge fan of Cinnamon Rolls anyway. The make a very good Benedict here, maybe one of the best and other items on the menu are really good too. The place can get pretty busy and there might be a wait. Service was excellent, for example, I wanted a small Cinnamon Roll, the server came back and said they were out of small ones but he would give me a large one without any extra charge. Those small things make a huge difference. The place is in a historic building and it's nice that they have some signage with the building history on premise. This is a very casual, busy place and it's also very clean and nice. It's going to be a breakfast favorite when I'm in Fort Collings. read more

This is a fantastic breakfast place. Kind of a classic diner but nicer. You can get cocktails, lattes, and a great selection of food! They're known for the cinnamon rolls and for a reason. They're really great, not dry like so many! My omelette was great and I love the simple breakfast potatoes. Not a classic hash brown. I like these much better! Service was great, too! Our party of 5 were all super impressed! read more

I prefer Silver Grill to all of its competitors in town. The best service in any busy restaurant I've been to. Our waitresss is so cool and checked on us multiple times. The owner himself went around shaking hands and listening to customers. It's no wonder they are so loved in our community. And the meals are all very authentic recipes close to the owner's heart. The people who work feel comfortable and happy, I can tell they like their job! It's big enough you can fit half the town inside- and its farm house chic. I think it boosts my appetite! Well done ! read more

Delicious brunch, fast and friendly service, and the best cinnamon rolls you'll ever eat! Friday morning brunch around 9:30 had a wait time of around 10 minutes. We were sat promptly when we returned to the restaurant. I started with a cup of coffee, which was standard. I split the corned beef Benedict - a little dry, not enough hollandaise sauce for my liking - and the breakfast burrito - deliciously smothered and flavorful. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and a great side, though lacking in salt. The star of the show was the cinnamon roll. We tried their weekly(?) special, the creme brûlée cinnamon roll. The custard was rich, smooth, and had excellent, high quality vanilla flavor. The doughy parts were not dry at all, and overall had a great balance of sweetness. Of course the burnt sugar was crispy and delicious. Their blueberry fritter caught my eye on the way out, so I'll have to come back for that! read more

Stopped in here on a Saturday for brunch and while there was a wait, it went quickly! This spot is super cute and has been around for many years! My one complaint is that it does get pretty temperature warm inside, which didn't help us trying to escape the heat of the outdoors. The food portions are huge. We started with a mini cinnamon roll (which is about a traditional roll size) because they had just sold out of the pecan roll. The cinnamon roll was delicious! We ordered the country breakfast and the fiesta hash and eggs. Both were very good and very filling. Also ordered a mimosa and they are large size! Yum! Will definitely be coming back read more

I wanted to try this diner for the cinnamon roll French toast and it didn't disappoint. It was soft and not overly sweet. I'm happy that half orders were available to stop me from overindulging. I got a side of eggs and grilled chicken which weren't the best. The sides were dry and the chicken had a charred taste. My meal was small in comparison to the other plates that were coming out. The portion sizes were huge and looked delicious. I would have given this restaurant 3 stars for the sides but the homey decor, nice staff, and French toast more than made up for any short comings! read more

Visited in 2018. Not a good experience. Maybe caught the staff on a bad day. Tried the Silver Grill, again, today. Everything about our breakfast was SPECTACULAR! Our server, Jason, was awesome!

What can I possibly say about Silver Grill that hasn't already been said? The Silver Grill Cafe is more than just a restaurant in Fort Collins--it's a true institution. From the food to the service to the welcoming ambience, it's easy to see why this place has such a loyal following and why it's a must-visit for anyone passing through town. What some visitors may not know is that the Silver Grill changed ownership a few years ago. When the transition first happened, there were a few concerned locals who wondered if things might change under the new owner, Alan. I'm happy to say that Alan has done anything but alter the charm and soul of the Silver Grill. He's embraced everything that makes this cafe so beloved, while quietly working behind the scenes to streamline operations and make everything run even smoother. The result? The same exceptional service from a friendly, dedicated staff who seem to truly love what they do--and of course, the same amazing food at prices that are as satisfying as the meal itself. A trip to Fort Collins just wouldn't be complete without stopping by Silver Grill. Whether you're a local or an out-of-towner, the warm atmosphere and mouthwatering menu will always make you feel right at home. And one thing that's always worth mentioning--if no one's told you yet, do yourself a favor and try the cinnamon rolls. They're nothing short of legendary. read more

We were looking for a place to get breakfast while we were in the Fort Collins area. This place had pretty good reviews and some good looking pictures. We came in and it was a lively atmosphere with an interesting decor. The service was a little slow. The cinnamon french toast was not bad, but I would not call it "cinnamon" as it was too weak in cinnamon flavour. The eggs benedict was also just ok. Prices are not that bad. Good if you need to get food, have time, and aren't too picky. read more

Nothing fancy, but everything came out perfect. The cinnamon roll was probably the highlight. The vibe is cool, too - historic, but clean & bright. read more

Great place for breakfast. Service was great and food was outstanding. Definitely recommend

During my travels I enjoyed this spot countless times. Honestly their cooking and sitting at the counter reminded me of my grandmother and spending time with her at her restaurant. My grandmother was a waitress for a long time at the Golden Flame and loved to make us breakfast and bring home our favorite cream of rice soup. The Silver Cafe's pancakes were just as stellar, and I rarely skipped an opportunity to try their special giant cinnamon roll of the month. If that's too large for you get a slice of their cinnamon roll toast. Their meat breakfast quesadilla [ cheddar, monterey jack, scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, chorizo, peppers, onions, tomato, sour cream, salsa ] is in my TOP FIVE breakfast dishes of all time, especially when you add sour cream and salsa on top. Their green chili is amazing and their breakfast burrito [ eggs, tomato, onion, peppers, cheddar, black beans, crispy potatoes, avocado cream, pork green chili ] was too much to finish. Finally, I'd say if it's your first time you have to try the loaded hash browns [ cheese, bacon, pork green chili ]‼ FAT KIDD‼    Colorado friends, it's in Fort Collins and well worth the drive or if you're in the area. Plus you can always hit @bucees on the way back! read more

We came to this great breakfast place on a visit to CSU, and it did not disappoint. First of all, we sat on the lovely back patio which was perfect for the great spring weather.

My teen and I split the cinnamon roll french toast (also decadent), as well as a giant breakfast burrito. Service was fast and friendly. Great local place to check out! read more

I was looking for a good breakfast spot to be able to bring my husband back to and I definitely found it! Silver Grill Cafe is certainly a gem and I so look forward to coming back. It was easy to locate/access. My daughter and I were seated right away. The restaurant is bright and clean. Our server was very pleasant and prompt. I opted for Milo's Omelette, a chai tea latte, and a small cinnamon roll. Everything tasted great! There was so much meat in the omelette it was amazing and super filling. The potatoes were crisp and flavorful as well. I grabbed a giant pecan cinnamon roll to go for my husband and he said it was fantastic! We will certainly be back for more! read more
