    Garden skillet (half portion)
    Leslie H.

    Great place for breakfast. Huge portions and a few vegan options. I would definitely go again. The decor reminded me of the American Legion in my rural hometown. I think it was the wall to wall carpet, wood paneling, and the guy using a manual sweeper to pick up crumbs. Delightful.

    Denver omelet, egg whites and no cheese
    Kaylyn S.

    We visited the Delectable Egg while in town for a conference. Our server, Nicole, was excellent! She was polite, professional, efficient, and simply on top of everything. She was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to address food allergy questions well. Most of us figured, when in Denver.........So we ordered the Denver omelets. The one person who didn't ordered simple bacon and eggs. The one Denver omelet that was a special order for the food allergies came out as ordered. Yes! All the food was delivered in a timely manner and was hot. Admittedly, at first we weren't sure about the Denver omelet, since we agreed that we'd never seen it served with a slice of deli ham and bell pepper on top before. At first glance we thought that was the only ham and pepper, but we quickly noticed that the omelets were actually packed full of goodies. Nicole offered alternative options to the one person who couldn't have bread, which was unusual and greatly appreciated! We all agreed that we will definitely return to the Delectable Egg next time we are in Denver!

    Everything was yummy! The service was impeccable. The prices are reasonable. The tea was so good we drank the whole carafe. We definitely will be back for breakfast while we are here.

    I come here everytime i am in denver, the food is excellent, the servers are always great and attentive and the place is so clean. I will continue to come here for breakfast and always look forward to my next trip! Also, substitutions are always no problem.

    I was staying nearby and came here for breakfast on a weekday when there was a large conference in town. They were moderately busy, but I was quickly seated. The breakfast menu is loaded with lots of tasty options, so much so that I had a tough time deciding. I ultimately chose their Stacked Ranchero Breakfast, which came out pretty quickly. It looked and smelled amazing and tasted great! I asked for a side of green chili with it, as I wanted to try their green chili and that had a nice spice to it. Coffee was good, so was the service. Would definitely recommend coming here, especially for a nice Mexican breakfast!

    One of the few breakfast places in walking distance of the Convention Center, I ended up here by default. It's a diner. It has diner accommodations, diner food, and dining service. Actually, the service is pretty spectacular! The food and the prices met my expectations.

    Great breakfast spot. Can get busy so don't be in a rush. The staff are friendly but short staffed so they are running around constantly. Very calm and peaceful atmosphere.

    Absolutely delicious breakfast spot! Everything came out hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The staff were upbeat and welcoming -- even on a busy morning. My coffee stayed full, the food hit the spot, and the energy was just right for a weekend brunch. Highly recommend if you're near Uptown -- it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger over another cup of coffee. It was also extremely good steak. (I got the steak and eggs).

    Rooster's Surprise Pancake

    I had some absolutely fantastic sausage, pancakes, and eggs here! My girlfriend had the grilled chicken breakfast sandwich, and she really liked it too! Our server was fantastic as well! Her mocha latte tasted like it was drenched in Hershey's syrup, my plain coffee tasted acidic and bitter, a common theme in Denver (is this a local preference?). Like some of the other places I have been to in Denver, pricing on mains was pretty reasonable, but the sides were almost offensively expensive. There was a $3.99 upcharge for real maple syrup; I understand that stuff is expensive, and I would gladly pay extra for it, but $4 is about $3 too much. I loved my meal, and my out the door price still wasn't too bad, but uncharges like that, or what they wanted for some of the condiments, costs them a full star, unfortunately. J.Ja

    California Benedict

    Went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were staying in downtown so the location was very convenient, just a short walk from the Hyatt. It was pretty early, there were people there but not super busy. We were seated right away and had good service. They have a drink menu which included cocktails, mimosas. I went with an Irish coffee. It was sooo good!! Probably the best I've ever had. My sister initially ordered a latte but changed her order to Irish coffee bc it was so good. For my main dish, I got the California Benedict. Delicious!! The eggs were done perfectly. It was a good portion of food. My sister ordered the Denver omelette. I had a bite and this was also super tasty. My husband ordered a frittata and he cleaned his plate! Overall a very good experience. The menu has plenty of options (including pancakes, etc for anyone who likes the sweet stuff).

    Food is great and the environment is cozy. Staffs are friendly. The restaurant is close to our hotel so we can walk over for breakfast. We ate there twice during our stay in Denver for Astros-Rockies games.

    Monte Cristo Sandwich
    Kevin C.

    Came here with some friends the moment we flew into Denver because we were starving. We didn't have to wait and were immediately sat despite being a party of 6. Servers were very nice and quick to greet us and take our order. The restaurant was large on the inside with plenty of tables and seating and very quaint and homey feeling. They had a very extensive menu with all sorts of options. Almost paralyzed by the amount of good sounding options they had-- paradox of choice. I got a michelada which was pretty good, not too spicy. I got the monte Cristo sandwich with a side of hash browns. Usually this sandwich is fried with a nice crisp but this one was grilled so it wasn't as crispy as I'm used to-- a bit on the soggier side actually. Flavor was great though and served with strawberry preserves. Hash browns were the same thing-- not as crispy as I'm used to. Others in my group got the brioche French toast and different Benedict options. Overall good and tasty experience.

    Went here for lunch after my checkout from the Sheraton in Downtown Denver. It's my first time in Denver and this place was a 5/5 overall no downsides!!! My group of 3 went around 11am and they had such amazing food options and alcoholic drink options. Service: our lady server did an amazing job at checking on my table and offering drinks and suggestions. My table really appreciated her service. She also split our fresh toast for my table which is why I'm giving a 5/5 bc most establishments don't split or offer!! Drinks 5/5 Irish Whiskey. This drink was so easy to drink especially on a cold snowy day. My friend loves Irish whiskey as other places have messed up our order. 5/5 my friend ordered the Mexican Hot Chocolate which comes w tequila and she said it was so good! It came w cute sprinkles. Food Eggs Benedict 5/5: easily rated as the portions were huge, the Hollandaise was so creamy accompanied by the soft potatoes and savory ham. I loved that they offer the hot sauce on the table as well as creamer/sugar for your coffee if needed. This plate made me so full and I couldn't even finish all the potatoes. I highly recommend!!! If I were to come back I'm sure I would enjoy other food items. Stuffed French Toast 5/5: this as our dessert was soooo needed. We were so full from our plates that me and my group were able to split the French toast. The food made us feel so good and stuffed. All in all, my review may differ from others, but this brunch spot is amazing to visit. The service, food, and ambiance were all great to end my trip to Denver. The ambiance was very homey and it might seem "outdated" but our group thoroughly enjoyed it thank you!! Note: gender neutral bathroom

The employees here are so attentive and make sure you are getting what you need and even what you didnt even think you needed. The macaroni salad was so delicious. It's creamy without being heavy, perfectly balanced, and has that nostalgic comfort factor while still tasting elevated. It's the kind of side that could easily steal the show. The roasted red pepper and tomato soup was equally impressive. It's a silky, creamy bisque layered with smoky depth from the roasted peppers, finished with chives that brighten everything up. Even being plant-based, it doesn't sacrifice richness or flavor. Deeply satisfying and clearly well-crafted. The Pastrami Reuben is exceptional. The 12-day house-made pastrami is deeply flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned, layered with melty Jarlsberg, tangy pickled cabbage, and their signature Leven sauce on toasted house-made rye. It's rich, balanced, and everything you want in a classic Reuben--just executed better. I even reheated it a day later and it was just as good as when I ordered it. Equally impressive is the Smoked Beet Reuben, which honestly holds its own against the traditional version. The pastrami-spiced smoked beets bring a smoky, savory depth that feels surprisingly indulgent, not like a compromise. Paired with the same Jarlsberg, cabbage, and sauce, it's a creative, satisfying take that proves plant-based options can be just as compelling. Leven manages to take familiar comfort foods and refine them just enough to feel special without losing what makes them comforting in the first place. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

There's no performance here, no hospitality theater, no one asking how the first few bites are treating you. You walk up to the counter, you order, you take a number, you sit down. The food does the talking. And the food has a lot to say. I went on a bright Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and ordered the classic breakfast, swapping bacon for pastrami (a first for me) with an everything biscuit on the side (also a first). Both were revelations. The eggs over-hard might be the best version of that order I've ever gotten from a restaurant -- just a whisper of uncooked yolk in the center, perfectly seared on both sides. Skillet potatoes were spot-on. The skillet pastrami was rich and properly crisped at the edges. And the two generous slices of sourdough arrived with a scratch-made blueberry jam that I ended up smearing on everything I could -- sourdough, biscuit, probably would've eaten it with a spoon if no one was looking. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich, which clearly belongs in the staples category. The baguette was the star: toasted outside, pillow-soft inside, zero tug-of-war with your teeth. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. This is the Ron Swanson part: there's an unapologetic confidence to this place. They know exactly what they're doing, they're not trying to oversell it, and they're not interested in charming you into liking it. They're just going to hand you something excellent and trust you to figure out the rest. The coffee was good. The food was setting-a-benchmark good. A real 5 out of 5 stars, no pickin nits. Mild observation, not a complaint: the service is counter-only, no traditional table service. Would Matthew McConaughey or Reese Witherspoon dropping plates off elevate the experience? Sure. But Ron wouldn't have it any other way, and honestly, neither would I after eating here. If I lived within 45 minutes of downtown Denver, this would be my destination breakfast. As it is, I'm a 12 hour drive away, and if it were only 11, perhaps I'd go tomorrow. The real downside? The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture.

I ordered a half Louie cold sub, and my boyfriend got a full Severino Grande cold sub. The portion sizes were perfect for me, and my boyfriend couldn't even finish his--which says a lot. My only note for next time is I'd ask for a bit more vinegar on mine, but that's just personal preference. We also shared fried ravioli and mozzarella sticks, and both were really good. The ravioli stood out as the favorite between the two. We were also pleasantly surprised (and excited) to see canned Gatorade--such a nostalgic deli touch. AND the rainbow cookie... absolutely unreal. Easily the best I've ever had. It was so soft and fluffy, and the chocolate layer was creamy and delicious. I'm genuinely going to be thinking about it for a long time. Service was great, parking was easy on the street, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. Overall, it really hit the spot for a solid deli experience in Denver. Can't wait to come back and try the hot plates next time.

I have to add that we asked to speak to the owner, Ken. We were told he is not really a talker. To our surprise, Ken came over and was terrific! He told us the story of his dad starting at 4 am every day to begin the prep for the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for all the Jersey trades workers and other patrons.

They simply Do Not care about general food safety getting a hot meal here is rather risky I will explain why. My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.
