    Double steak breaky
    Rachel H.

    Greasy spoon... yes please! Real diner with real diner prices. Nothing fancy. Everything is good! I'm committed - 2 steaks, potatoes, eggs w/a side of green chili around $22 monies. Only open till 2pm The weekends are very busy. I come here pretty frequently and never disappointed.

    Big breakfast combo - under $12. Included toast

    oh no no no....we are on vacation and visited this place and quickly found only one server and a cook doing the best they could. We actually felt badly for the server and I almost jumped in to help her as customers were not yet served and more people coming in. I found the there was a women and 3 men not bothering or knowing how to help the waitress that was throwing defeated signs all over the restaurant. 2 men showed up with what appeared to be some kind of authority and we thought Finally our waitress was going to get some much needed help. Nope they only walked around the back of the counter and then sat down and watch the entire process fail with no intervention. We are staying in downtown Denver only minutes away and we will not ever try venturing in here ever again. Food was just ok, I order Faye special based on yelp pics looks good. Steak was not seasoned and eating my shoe would have been easier. eggs and potatoes were not very well seasoned at all. My wife orders Mexican Omelet that had a green chili sauce that was very good so much in so I added her green chili to my entire plate because it lacked flavor. Oh forgot !!!!! They had to close the restaurant down (10 am Sunday) due to only one server ...smh

    Classic local breakfast place in Santa Fe neighborhood. Food and service was excellent. A real throwback will definitely be back when in town. Make your own Denver McGriddle!

    Great breakfast food and good prices. The bacon and hashbrowns are really tasty. More of a hole in the wall dive but still good food

    The owner and staff are rude and unhelpful. Looks dirty. Definitely don't waste your time there are plenty of local places with nice staff.

    We came to Denver expecting amazing mountain views. What we didn't expect was to need a moment of…read moresilence after brunch. The food? Amazing. The weather? Amazing. The service? Also amazing. Basically, The Original understood the assignment. Kayleigh took great care of us from start to finish. She noticed my wife and I were wearing Chris Brown and Usher tour shirts and asked if we were headed to the concert. We both replied, "No," which probably made us look like two people who just enjoy confusing strangers. We just liked the shirts, okay? Now let's talk cocktails. The "Don't Mind If I Do" was hands down one of the best Old Fashioned-style cocktails I've had in a long time. Smooth, balanced, and dangerous because it tricks you into thinking, "One more couldn't hurt." My wife ordered the Pig & Pony and absolutely loved it. We also ordered the Hot Take... which isn't pictured because we inhaled it before either of us remembered phones have cameras. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were outstanding, and the atmosphere somehow managed to be both lively and relaxing. If you're in Denver and skip this place, that's between you and your poor life choices. We'll definitely be back... preferably wearing more random concert shirts just to keep Kayleigh guessing.

Raistlin (Rai) was a great server, taking time to chat with us a bit, checking on us, making sure our orders were correct. We ordered a shredded short rib eggs Benedict and a OG Breakfast with 2 eggs sunny side up, home style potatoes, sourdough toast. Enjoyed my Strawberry Stand and my husband enjoyed his Espresso martini. Everything tasted great! It was fun trying two hot sauces on the table as well.

    This place... IS. THE. BEST. I originally came here back in 2018, the year I believe they opened…read more Was looking for a cool punk/metal bar for my friend and I to check out. I have since had a kid and don't drink anymore, but their food is SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I keep coming back. I think that even people who don't particularly enjoy the music or ambiance also frequent this spot, because the food is just that good. I definitely would recommend their Brisket Sammy. My son loves their grilled cheese, and their chicken tenders are also delicious. Do NOT skip the Holla Pena Lollipoppas, and make sure to get an extra side of the raspberry jalapeño jam to dip your tots or fries in!

I don't want to say our server was slow, but she wasn't really present, and thus our service was slow/off. I love the chicken sandwich here with the buffalo sauce, but there was almost zero buffalo sauce on it this time. The fried parts all fell off while trying to eat, and so I was left with a normal chicken sandwich. One bright spot was the egg rolls, as always, and the buried fries. I love Brutal Poodle, but the other night was an off night for sure.
