    The Hobo supreme and cinnamon roll

    Awesome recommendations from our server. One of the best breakfasts we've had in a long time. Our food came fast and our server was wonderful and pleasant. We'll definitely return on our next trip to Colorado.

    This is the drive in from Utah to Colorado and finally at Starvin Arvin's for brunch, I was so impressed with this eatery.

    The Bean and I had a business brunch here for 408Works and 6ixes. I had a massive plate of biscuits and gravy that was delish!!! The service here was top notch too as the hostess was super accommodating with my gimp leg and crutches and sat with a private table by the kitchen. The restaurant has that you're eating at your Moms house and the food is prepared with love and affection. All kinds of art work and designed as the country boys and girls place to park and talk and enjoy the ambience.

    Clifton,CO location

    Great breakfast and lunch too place in western Colorado. This location opened in 2002. Their first restaurant opened on Redlands Mesa (south of Grand Junction) in 1983. They greet everyone and the staff has been here for years. They get a large number of locals. I came after the morning rush for people wanting to get on the hwy asap. The after church rush is coming. It's a homey atmosphere with stuffed wild animals, wood pillars and wood beams, panels and chairs throughout. They have a large breakfast menu including omelets, pancakes/waffles anx lots of meat choice. Coffee is included in the prices with infinite refills. I got the Spicy Hog omelet with ham, sausage, 3 eggs and was over stuffed with jalapeno peppers. I added a local hot sauce, Pear Blossom Farms: Dad's Peach Jalapeno Sauce made nearby in Palisade,CO to my omelet. I got a good amount of hash browns where I added more hot sauce. I ordered a cinnamon roll in lieu of toast but had to wait for it to arrive. They have a high demand for the treat. When it arrived, it was a plate filling serving. Plenty of cinnamon throughout and lightly glazed. Of course, I ate the whole thing, with more coffee. I forgot to mention that my server at the bar was Jocelyn C. She was very friendly and attentive. They do not share tips. The owner of this location, Blake had friendly banter with everyone including me.

    Supreme Hobo Breakfast.  All of my favorite things together.  It was delicious!

    We had visited location in Montrose, CO a few years ago. When our vacation took us to Grand Junction we tried the Clifton, CO location. It did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly and attentive. We were riding motorcycles and they had very good local info. Service was quick. The breakfast was great. All cooked just right. I am a big fan of their green chili. I think it pairs perfectly with eggs. I highly recommend. The unexpected treat is the jelly with the toast. Not a little plastic tray of factory sealed stuff. I don't know if it is home made, but it sure tasted like it. We had the peach and raspberry and both were delicious. I highly recommend Starvin' Arvin's and will be back for sure.

    Hot beef sandwich, it was not bad, fries were crispy and gravy wasn't too salty.

    Stopped in Clifton for gas on my way to Utah. Found Starvin' Arvin's nearby so gave it a try. Although the outside of the restaurant said something about steak, there were no real steaks on the menu, only burgers. I ended up ordering a hot beef sandwich which is kind of an old school diner food that I have not had for ages. The side salad was very decent in size although the romaine kind of wilted a little. The sliced beef was okay, average diner quality, the fries were crispy and I like to put gravy on my fries which in this case was not too salty which was good. Food was average, but service was fast and friendly.

    French toast special with bacon, hash browns and eggs
    Caroline H.

    This is a solid choice in Grand Junction! My party all enjoyed what they got. I had the French toast special and it was a good value. All good food. The cinnamon roll is giant but to be honest I didn't think it tasted much like a cinnamon roll. Just kind of like bread- wouldn't get it again. I've also had a fried chicken salad here which was quite good also. All in all good restaurant.

    They still have not fixed the machine that prints the tickets out went 1-05-2020 and was again overcharged. Will never be back to see if I get overcharged again. The food and service are better at Denny's across the parking lot.

I'm sorry I have worked in the food for over 20 years and have never been treated like that before or gave that kind of service before. This was ridiculous my kids were crying cause all they wanted was an ice cream after a traumatic evening. I will never visit this location again! So disrespectful of those employees who were laughing when we pulled up to the window.

The green chili was good and they substituted bacon for sausage for us. For the second half, we ordered the chicken wings - hot buffalo. They were crispy, saucy meaty, and hot and spicy. The sauce coated the wings with the right consistency, not too runny and good cayenne spice. I ate them quickly so I forgot to take a picture. I was hesitant to order them at market price but i was happy with them for $16.99 for 10. Bathrooms were fine. Lots of friendly folks making conversations. Street parking was easy around the corner.

The avocado on top added nothing, the cabbage was cold, and the whole dish itself came out cold even though it should've been fresh from the fryer. The chips and queso ended up being the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and he described it as cold, soggy, and way too sweet. He did enjoy his beer, and I liked my drink too, but that alone isn't enough for us to return. I personally won't be coming back, but I still encourage others to try it for themselves--everyone's taste is different.
