    Stopped here while on a long road trip. The place is quite rustic and has that older world charm - hunting trophies on the wall, couple of old rifles, etc. You get a great feed - and the ingredients in the omelettes were nice and fresh. Wait staff very nice and friendly and came back often to check everything was ok. Bottomless coffee is nice also! Thank you!

    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.

But she can bring her dog into a resturant/bar?. They will not let you have more than 4 people at a bar table? Did not use to be an issue. They have run off amazing bartenders and servers. I may be burning bridges but think I speak for a lot of people. My last straw was when Mia was complaining to the owner about the "SPIC" cop who gave her a ticket, even though she was blaring" SPIC "music from her radio. John was laughing (the owner). As a local of Hispanic origin (100% American born and educated "who 100% percent supported this organization for the last 5 years, I am sad. Feel sorry for the bartenders and server trying to keep this place a float. Took a thriving buisness which is now a couple months away from closing due to what? The owner letting his girlfriend make rules. I have 10 years in bar and restaurant management. You mess with ocalss you lose your buisness! Not sorry.

Of course I had to add salsa, because... obviously Patti went with the Huevos Rancheros and really liked it Tyler tried the Chile Relleno and said it was the best one he's had in forever -- bold statement, but he's sticking to it. I've had the Chile Relleno too, and I get it. Fresh poblano, Oaxacan cheese, refried black beans, sour cream, pickled onion, cilantro, cotija... just yummy. I also tried the Oaxacan taco and carne asada taco, and both were absolutely on point -- juicy, flavor-packed, and straight-up And yes, Dad's jalapeño sauces are a must. The green and red both add that perfect little kick And a big win--they've got a great selection of gluten-free options (clearly marked), so it's easy to navigate if that matters to you And since it's a Mexican restaurant, I had to partake in a margarita I went with the Pinky -- Dulce Vida Grapefruit Tequila, Naranja, fresh lime juice, and fresh grapefruit juice. Very tasty. Big shoutout to Sasha at the bar super knowledgeable, great vibes, and clearly a fellow GJ foodie with great recommendations. Service has been great all around both times. Solid food, great date night spot, and worth the drive. Just my opinion... don't come at me

So much for knowing who you work for and what they stand for. I feel the upgrade has a nice concept yet it is lacking customer serivce and more staff. I could tell the staff was overworked with the amount of traffic flow. We came when there was a power outage. For the luck of grace it came back on shortly after we checked out. We also order ice cream in the way out and a milk shake. 1st we got a peanut chocolate milk shake that looked more like chocolate milk. Then they got the order wrong it had milk instead of almond milk. Asked for a refund and she said she redo it. I asked kindly to make it more thick. It did not come out anymore thick. She added too much liquid. Looked like the new hire wasn't properly trained in ratio content. Then they forgot to get our bear claw ice cream. We saw a tall lad that was not working and just overseeing the other staff struggle. So sad. As far as the young lady giving out peaches outside in the stand. She looked more like she was ready for the gym than being at work. I can tell you it was offensive to see her in tight leggings. I sure wife's don't appreciate their husbands have free eye candy at a moments turn. We will not be stopping here again. So sad because I would talk about the old little stand from back in the day to everyone and how wonderful it was to go after driving from Denver on the 70. It was a nice treat. Not anymore.
