    Turkey sausage is pretty gross
    Alex L.

    I came here on the recommendation of others ranging from friends to people from Nextdoor. Always excited for a local-ish place. The hostesses were friendly but that's really where the experience ended. Our waitress forgot a number of things. Also the food is rather tasteless and the turkey sausage is gross for both flavor and texture. Overall I just can't get past that. One of the people in our party ordered a dish and asked for pancakes on the side. Instead she received a side of scrambled eggs and nothing else. As if that wasn't a head scratcher our waitress forgot a number of things for the table next to us too. I don't know if the diner atmosphere is for her. She was hustling but not sure for what. I will not be back nor would I recommend this to anyone else.

    The Rancher (Chicken Fried Steak)
    Robert K.

    Very hearty meals and priced well. My wife enjoyed her steak, of course she couldn't finish it. This was one of the first meals I couldn't finish either. We saved some for our kids when we got home. Service was on point. Coffee and water was refilled promptly, waitress stopped by periodically to make sure we were good. My only concern is the space. It's pretty cramped here. The management tries to do the best they with what they have.

    The food tasted delicious with generous portion. The service was friendly and helpful. It was packed for Saturday morning around 10:30.

    Such a great breakfast spot! HUGE portions of really great food. We always get a griddle biscuit and homemade jam no matter what we order. My daughter loves the sweet toast. Husband usually gets the hillbilly and I'll get anything that has their green chili on it. If you come on a weekend plan on waiting to be seated but it's totally worth the wait for the great food and friendly service.

    This place is super cute and has great vibes. Very Homey. The employees are super nice and well, we got seated very quickly. The menu has a lot to offer, theres a good variety of mexican inspired food and diner stuff. The coffee was not great. It doesnt have a strong coffee flavor, it tastes watered down to me. Im not sure if its always like this, but I like for coffee to taste like coffee. The pancakes weren't great either. They are HUGE, and I was high expectations for them, but something was off about them. They don't really taste like pancakes, maybe it was a bit denser than I'd like. The "hash" does have a good crunchy crust. The biscuit isn't as crumbly and buttery like most biscuits. Its a bit more dense, still good, but more like bread. The breafast sausage is good! It has a strong herby flavor that I like. Overall the food was just okay, but the portions are amazing for the price and the service was really good.

    Great environment, very clean and friendly staff. The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Breakfast is the best.

    Eggs Bennie with browns and pesto tomato
    Frantsy R.

    Wow this is my new go to place. They have coffee bar, they have homemade biscuits, homemade cinnamon rolls, thick cut bacon - what else could you ask for? The eggs Bennie was wonderful - the Hollandaise is perfect amount of creamy and slight tang. The potatoes they call Browns are great not too crispy not too hard. The pancake was really good. The waitstaff is young I think more teens or just out of high school but they were nice. Will definitely return.

    Taos Pappas
    PJ F.

    Found this place in our forever search for decent brekkie places here in the Denver area. First off our server, Kaylie, was super awesome. Our first time here, she guided us through the menu and recommended items. We went with the Cowboy and Taos Pappas. Mounds of browns in each topped with assorted ingredients...and choice of red/green chile or gravy. I had mine on the side. Chile was mild but claggy...maybe due to the lukewarm temperature it was served at. And that's where the meal went South. Both of our dishes were lukewarm at best. My over easy eggs while cold were also overdone . The suggested stuffed tots side we ordered were frozen in the middle. Yuk. This is basic safe food handling at its worst. We asked for a reheat on the tots and picked our way through the rest of the meal. While the food was tasty, it's hugely offputting to be served cold food. Makes one wonder what other unsafe practices are going on in the kitchen. Oddly I had read this place was popular with health inspectors choosing to eat here, which I thought was a good sign. Hard to believe cold food would be served if that is indeed true. I have also read other reviews also mentioning similar experiences of cold food. Probably won't be back unless they can get it together in the kitchen.

    How are their Belgian Waffles?

    On the hunt for a non-chain spot that serves a hand breaded Chicken Fried Steak ( not frozen Sysco cuisine) with MASHED potatoes and gravy.. ideas? Thank you !

    Honestly this sounds like Black Eyed Pea food. Have you tried there? Cheddars has a decent chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes....

    Hello- does anyone know if they have Gluten free menu/options or can accommodate? Thank you in advance!?

    i believe they do. mostly vegetarian options

    Did you have anything gluten free?

    I personally did not but for breakfast they have "papas" skillets and omelets so there are options for you.

The Hubs ordered the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich that comes with bourbon bbq sauce, creamy coleslaw and pickles, and is served with fries (although he swapped out the fries for more slaw). Everything was delicious! I had my burger cooked medium-well and it was perfect; it was still slightly pink inside and moist. While the burger was very tasty, one major plus was that it was also structurally sound (all the ingredients stayed inside the bun and the bun didn't fall apart)! The Hubs also enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich. I tasted the bbq sauce and the slaw that came with his lunch and both were amazing (I dipped more of my fries into the extra bbq sauce that came with his sandwich than I did into the comeback sauce). The fries that came with the burger were crispy, not greasy and not overly salted. While I only had an iced tea with lunch, I did peruse their specialty drinks menu. Wowza, is that a read! We'll be back sometime soon for dinner so we can check that out. BTW, their food menu is more than burgers and sandwiches and there are some nice sounding items that appeal to me more for dinner than lunch (two examples (1) Hoisin Ginger Tuna: Sashimi-grade tuna seared rare, parmesan risotto, arugula slaw, (2) Pesto Cream Salmon: Pan seared salmon crusted with parmesan breadcrumbs, penne pasta, pesto cream sauce, cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper). Despite this restaurant's location next to a boarded up vacant restaurant and being right next to I25, the interior is surprisingly nice and welcoming. And our server was friendly and helpful. So no complaints here!

I look forward to returning soon to try another item on the menu. Keep up the great work!

We saw the sign for the brewery in the back of the lobby, went in an it seemed closed but there was a big set of stairs heading down. We went downstairs and found a bar that leads out to the patio, completely open and so cute overlooking a nice fountain and great green views. The bar had a food menu too, and two pool tables although they were in rough shape. The bartenders were attentive and nice, giving their recommendations. We had the wagyu burger and truffle fries and the chips trio. The burger and fries were so good, but the chips were very oily and many were soft and not crunchy. I tried one of their cocktails, the first one with the strawberry puree and lemon, and they let me swap the vodka for tequila. It was sweet and yummy.

Outside patio has decent shade by the little pond thing and lounge chairs to sit in. Our pup was also allowed to hangout there as well. Staff was short that day and the manager let us know, which was no problem. We ordered 3 dishes: fish tacos, pulled pork sandwich and a poke bowl. After waiting 45-50 minutes, which again I know due to short staffing, we were utterly disappointed in what we received. The tacos looked like they were microwaved along with the beans. I didn't get a pic of the pulled pork but was probably like a quarter cup total of some meat and sauce on a McD looking bun. The poke bowl was majority rice. For a bill that ended up coming out to about $80 (had also 2 diet cokes and a beer), this was quite a slap in the face. You're better off going elsewhere for your money.
