We were passing through Grand Junction on our way to Utah. I saw that this place was very highly…read morerated so we thought we would check it out for a late lunch. Big mistake. 1) it's in the basement of an old folk's home and so it felt odd like we didn't belong, 2) it took over a half an hour to get our food, 3) some of our food was hot, some of it was warm, and some of it was cold. We were afraid to send any of it back because it could take another half hour, 4) the taste of the food ranged from mediocre at best to downright bland and awful, 5) the system for putting away your plates and trays is odd. When we had looked at photos of the menu beforehand, we thought this place would be like Kneaders. This is nothing like Kneaders. Stay far away from this place.

Look I grew up on the McDonalds Sausauge Egg Biscuit and the McMuffin family so when I got wind…read morethat there was a POPPIN biscuit food truck spot in the town that I was working temporarily in, it was a no brainer to go try. Like the many reviews state, this food truck is located at Mesa Mall right in front of the Dicks Sporting Good. I mean once youre at Mesa Mall and you're panicking you can't find it, just give it the mall a good ole round-a-bout you'll find it trust. Enough about logistics and my biscuit history, lets talk Alarado. The biscuits. Whatever you get, you have to try it with the biscuit. Personally went with the sausage, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich with pepper jack and the BISCUIT ofc. There's something surreal about eating a delicious biscuit breakfast sandwich at 7:00 am in the morning when its raining outside. I'm surprised I even got a photo of it before demolishing it. Now underrated co-start is the breakfast burrito. Because my back is big, I also got a chorizo breakfast burrito with green chili. Goodness gracious, that one also was a banger seriously. Biscuit sandwich or burritos are definitely the move I'd say here. Go get your biscuit on.

We went here after recommendations from a local living in Clifton. He had said that the place has…read morewonderful sunset views on the deck, but it was too hot to sit out there when we went. However, the inside was gorgeous with tall windows and nice decor. You walk into the Maverick hotel and go the 4th floor to get there. 3 out of the 4 of us in our group ordered the Shakshuka, which was flavorful and delicious to soak the sourdough into. I recommend over easy or over medium for your eggs on this. Served with feta and sliced avocado on top. We also got the avocado toast with smoked salmon and were pleasantly surprised to see that it came with entire filet of salmon for only an extra $6. We were expecting a few slices of salmon, but this was great! The fresh toast was ordered for the table. I found it to be a 7/10. Loved the peach inside, but was underwhelmed overall. If you're a group of 4 maybe consider getting the fresh press coffee, which our server recommended we do. Perfect serving size for us, but if your group drinks a lot of coffee just get the drip. Chalee was our server, and she was wonderful and kind. AC was BLASTING, if you run cold bring a sweater.

My wife and I were really excited to check out Devil's Kitchen during our time in Grand Junction…read more It sits up on the rooftop of the Hotel Maverick. We decided to drop in without a reservation. The host was honestly pretty weird about it. He told us he had to go ask his waiters if they would even agree to take us. Truth be told, that is a bizarre way to welcome paying guests. They ultimately found a spot for us. Then they abandoned us for a solid fifteen minutes before anyone even approached the table. We finally ordered our drinks and watched another twenty minutes tick away. I went with the CMU Centennial Manhattan. It is built with a Colorado bourbon, sweet vermouth, local hot honey, bitters, and a bordeaux cherry. A proper Manhattan needs a careful balance between the whiskey and the sweet vermouth to round out the bite. Honestly, they were just way too heavy-handed with that hot honey. It was so aggressively spicy that it just wasn't enjoyable. My wife ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop. Hers was actually perfectly balanced with a really nice citrus kick. We put in an order for the Deviled Kitchen Eggs. Another twenty minutes passed before they hit the table. They make them with a tempura fried egg white and an herb yolk. I appreciate the attempt at a crispy texture. They were decent but ultimately nothing special. My wife ordered the Bison Tip Pappardelle. I decided on the Roasted Dirty Hippie Half Chicken. They use a local Palisade beer marinade for the chicken. I ordered it with duck fat potato dippers and truffle yucca on the side. Another thirty minutes crawled by before the main courses arrived. Both dishes were just huge letdowns. The pappardelle noodles were completely stuck together in a starchy clump. The wild mushroom cream sauce was overly sweet and cloying instead of savory. The bison meat was tough and tasted exactly like plain boiled beef. There was absolutely nothing enjoyable about that pasta dish. My chicken wasn't any better. It had a terribly rubbery texture. It felt like it was roasted three days ago and lazily reheated. The skin was soggy and gross instead of crisp and properly rendered. The duck fat dippers were completely missing that deep, savory richness you expect when cooking with animal fats. The truffle yucca was actually pretty tasty. A good side dish just can't make up for a terrible main course, though. We didn't bother asking for a second round of drinks. The food was so poor that we skipped dessert and just asked for the check. The panoramic view of the Colorado National Monument from the rooftop is fantastic. A beautiful sunset just isn't enough to excuse a bad dinner, though. We expected a much higher-end culinary experience. What we got felt like a bunch of college students running a very disorganized experiment. I would definitely skip this spot.

The turkey sausage gravy was creamy and had a nice pepper bite. My wife ordered the blte and was delighted with it, the poached eggs were perfect and the bacon was delicious. She had it with fruit and was happy that it wasn't the standard melon mix, it had blueberries, blackberries and grapes with only a few melon chunks. The only issue (if you're not familiar with the area) is parking, they share a too small lot with several other businesses. I mentioned that to the server and she said that there is under ground parking available. I'll remember that should we decide to visit again.

Definitely great local spot near the pufferbelly station that offered a bunch of fun special…read moreofferings and classics. I loved that it's clear locals come as they have coffee cups ready for them on the walls in shelves. Do not skip on the cinnamon roll. I repeat do not skip on the cinnamon roll. That was one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. For my entree, I got the lunch/dinner chicken fried steak, potatoes and vegetables. The steak was well cooked, seasoned and crispy. The gravy was luscious and abundant. The mashed potatoes needed a bit more seasoning and the corn felt very basic. Service was super friendly and attentive especially keeping the coffee flowing. Overall, a really solid spot to have breakfast if in Grand Junction, CO.

Pufferbelly exceeded our expectations…read more Unassuming from the outside, the food a service was a step back in time - in a good way.

It's Veterans Day. Just ordered a Fiesta grain bowl with fried chicken and I need to unload some…read morethoughts. The chicken was seasoned with some sort of magic, firstly. The greens added a little kick, the onions perfectly sliced; almost paper thin. The green chiles cut into little morsels add that Smokey bit we crave when we think of fiesta style foods. There were bits of queso fresco crumbled over the whole thing, giving that tang. Even the brown rice was treated with the utmost respect and has the most amazing flavor and hearty texture! Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

This used to be one of our favorite local breakfast spots, but it's really gone downhill. Service…read moreis minimalist by design, ambiance and decor are nice but dark & dreary during the winter months due to the lighting. I could mention several criticisms of recent managerial decisions, but I'll just limit it to one. The "American Breakfast" has disappeared, replaced by an a la carte ordering model. I assume this reflects price creep and the reality that the market will not support a $20 counter-service breakfast (especially one that prompts for pre-tipping) when a comparable $12 option is available across the street at a full-service restaurant. Combined with long wait times and lukewarm food, caused by either amateurs in the kitchen or lackadaisical food delivery by the counter-staff, Cafe Sol has regretfully moved to my "occasionally OK" list.

Roots Gastrohub is officially on my list now…read more I first stopped in for breakfast and tried the bison burrito with Rowdy Red salsa, green chilis , and mushrooms because I love me some shrooms. They are straight-up skilled at breakfast burritos. The eggs were cooked perfect -- just enough runny yolk magic -- and yes, I'll always pick runny yolk. I also grabbed Tyler a bacon burrito, which of course I had to "quality control" sample . Tasty too. You really can't go wrong either way. Then after hearing all the comments about their burgers, I had to swing back by downtown Grand Junction at 4th & Colorado . I went with the Tailwhip Bison flat-grilled burger and added jalapeños because, let's be honest, jalapeños make just about everything better. The burger did not disappoint -- great flavor, and the added egg was top notch. The spicy tots were also on point -- crispy, hot, and the perfect side Shout-out to Matt as well. Super nice and great customer service Breakfast burritos and burgers? Yep, Roots is definitely worth the stop. And I've also had their grilled cheese sandwiches... straight-up home runs too Just my opinion -- no feelings harmed in this burrito-and-burger review.
