Stopped by on a chance and had a great meal and great service. The French toast was delicious with fresh whipped cream which I never eat but tried and ate it all. The potatoes were crispy lightly salted with a load of flavor. I didn't get to try the biscuits and gravy because my wife didn't share or leave any a rare event for her. Service was 5* thanks to Jon but all the staff were friendly helpful and glad to be at work. I recommend this little place to everyone in Denver read more

This place is awesome. The atmosphere is a little loud and filled with ill-behaved children, but anywhere in Stapleton is like that, so you can't single this place out for that. The food was delicious, I had the chicken waffle sandwich and SO had the down south trio. All of it recommended!! read more

It was very good. Checked in online and then drive over. Very tasty and traditional food.

It's okay. I'd prefer traditional menus items, but maybe that's just me. I like the indoor outdoor seating options at the bar area.

My crispy huevos rancheros was awesome and my daughter did a happy dance the entire time while eating her chocolate chip pancakes. She wants to go back every day, I wouldn't mind. read more

Our favorite breakfast joint in Denver! Super nice and convenient to get to! Everything we order was overwhelmingly delicious!!

I've heard good things about this place, but I had quite the negative experience. In a small bowl of grits, I found 3 separate hairs, each thicker and longer than the other. After the third hair, I lost my appetite and informed the waitress. She was very polite and apologetic, but I wish the cooks would wear hair and beard nets to prevent these issues from occurring. read more

This place is delicious, charming and packed! I came with a friend at 930 and we were told a 20 min wait-- not bad. Luckily we saw 2 seats at the bar opened so we were able to sit there. Score! The waiter was extremely friendly even when you could tell she was really busy. I ordered the juevos rancheros-- omg! So good! They have it on these 3 large round chips and vegetarian beans and salsa and I can't wait to eat it again! My friend got pancakes and she loved them. They have gluten free and dairy free options which I liked. I would try making a reservation if your coming here but definitely worth the wait! Can't wait to come back! read more

I'm torn on this review. The food was very good. Service was mediocre. The flies were outrageous. We sat in a corner booth with windows on 2 sides. There were probably 25 flies buzzing in the windows, around our heads, on our food, on us. My kids were grossed out, I was itchy and my husband was swatting. We just wanted to run out of there. Hard to judge the food. It wasn't good enough to withstand the flies again. :( read more

This place is amazing great food and adult beverages. Ask for a John he is great. We had gluten free pancakes they were to die for. We will be back thank you John Kathy and Erica safe travels read more

the food was great and my comment to my wife half way through breakfast was, "if we were eating this exact same meal at Snooze I'd say it was a lot better meal... what does that say about me?" Of course she didn't have an answer to that question. but i think what it says about four friends, tucked behind a king soopers in an office building/complex/appendage of contrived feeling stapleton, is that it's location is not sexy or satisfying at all and deserves to be the location of a place with breakfast that isn't half as good. how sad is that? I'll go back. the food is good. I live in stapleton so it's close. but unfortunately, you don't feel like you're experiencing an event when you're sitting there. Just good food. read more

A very unique restaurant that is perfect for breakfast. I highly recommend the berries & cream French toast along with ANYTHING that has grits. Very clean & hip atmosphere. Great for kids as well read more

In Denver for two days and we came here twice. The food is excellent. My girlfriend had the breakfast burrito and loved it. The beignets were to-die-- homemade creme anglaise with berry preserves. Yum!!! Start with those! I also had the four friends grits with fried chicken. Also delicious. I had the burger with pimento cheese, bacon, and mushrooms. I can honestly say it was the juiciest and best burger I have ever had. Maybe its the locally grown beef or the toppings? But it was cooked to perfection. The ambiance is super cute and laid back-- love the garage windows and all the activities to keep kids busy. You can tell the owner runs a tight ship- she's really hands on. Jen was our server twice and she was so nice and attentive! Recommendations to the owner? The fruit salad is a little weak (too many fillers like melon and grapes). I wish they had a latte machine to offer a variety of espresso or macchiato. Fresh squeezed OJ option instead of bottled juice would be nice. And looking at the bloody marys, the toppings are a little weak. All in all, great experience! Will definitely recommend this place to friends. read more

Really excellent place to have breakfast or brunch. I have been here a couple times now and had a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and gives great service. It is a very family friendly spot and they provide etch a sketches for the kids to doodle on. The atmosphere is bright and fresh. The food is excellent. Get the beignets and the fried green tomato and crab Benedict! The flavors are very good. Also the hash is divine. read more

I travel often and finding places like Four Friends is always a wonderful bonus. We ordered the gluten free pancakes, the veggie omelet, and the juevos rancheros. Every dish was delicious, and beautifully platted. The pancake was lite and airy and not overly sweet. The veggie omelet was the perfect combination of vegetables. The juevos rancheros was a different take than I have had before but the balance of textures and flavor was perfect. The slight spice of the red sauce and sweet of the avocado with the crunch of the tortilla was the perfect balance. read more

Exceptional service and GREAT BRUNCH. Bartenders were awesome w great recommendations. Seem like they really like and care about there job. Restaurant was packed and I was able to get my wife and 2 daughters a seat at the bar which was perfect. read more

My boyfriend thought this place was awesome. I thought it was pretty good. First came the beignet's with berries. Delicious. I had the Beef brisket hash. The BBQ potatoes were awesome. My eggs were slightly overcooked and my meat was a little too fatty for my taste. The BF got shrimp and grits and they were great. The server was good, but neither of us remember her telling us her name. Very busy, happening place. Good atmosphere. $35 for two of us to eat breakfast. read more

I would really give it 3.5 stars, which I think is pretty good for a place that has been opened for 2 days. We order the beignets, brisket hash, po boy, and kids chocolate chip pancakes. The pancakes were the best of everything. These were light and moist, but not under cooked. I would have gotten these for myself. The brisket hash needs some work. It tasted as if all these different flavors were waiting for something to bring them together to be really good. You could barely taste the brisket. The po boy was pretty good. I would leave off the green tomato as it didn't really do anything for the sandwich. The pork belly was really good and I even pull it out of the sandwich to eat it all alone! The beignets are not the light and airy version I was expecting. These are more like doughnut holes as they were very dense. They were good though, but I would not put on the menu "Louisiana-style donuts" as it's misleading. The service was really good for a brand new restaurant. I will definitely be back as I hope that things improve with the menu as they get more experienced. read more

I love trying new places, especially when the menu contains my beloved southern comforts. We lucked up on Four Friends today and it did not disappoint. I had the benedict and it was delicious. The biscuit was one of the best I have had since moving to Denver (it has been a difficult thing to find!). The pork belly and collards were not to salty, and the potatoes were reminiscent of barbecue potato chips. Also got a chance to sample hubby's pancakes and they were also tasty. All in all a great meal. read more

A southern style kitchen is generally understood as one that has larger portions, and delicious food. This place seemed to have understood the delicious food part but forgot the actual concept of southern-style hospitality. Their portions are egregiously small and then priced at just a bit above your typical brunch place (e.g. Jelly, snooze, etc). You get FAR more value and quality at places like Jelly for this price point. Until they actually provide southern style cooking with actually filling portions (I left starving), this place is not worth going to. Far better to pay for quality AND portions at the more famous brunch spots in Denver. read more

I'm generally not a fan of breakfast food because I hate eggs, and I get so tired of french toast and pancakes. BUT, I'm still craving both the french toast and pancakes from this place! They were delicious. The other food on the menu did look really good (even if they did have eggs). I'd definitely give this place a shot, it's worth the wait! read more

My picky boyfriend loved this place! The potatoes are delicious! The pancakes are fluffy and not too sweet! Their house made sausage was to absolutely die for! And the Irish coffee was strong but just the icing on the cake. Great experience! Super fast and attentive service! read more

My family loved our meal! We started with the beignets, which had the best berry coulis served alongside. My husband and I shared the four friends grits and the po' boy...both were unique, delicious and filling. I really loved the fig jam on the po' boy. The sweet spread paired with the pork belly and fried green tomatoes was an awesome combination. My kids loved their chocolate chip pancakes and the peanut butter waffle dippers. Plus they were kept busy with the etch-a-sketches the restaurant has on hand while waiting for our food. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

2 hour wait and they will not text you to let you know when the table is ready. You really should make it easier for locals. I understand the place is popular but at least give the option to text people when their table is ready. read more

My family ate breakfast at this place on Sunday and we loved the atmosphere. My wife had a basic farmers breakfast with eggs, bacon and potatoes which was great. However, I had the Pork benedict and the only thing I could taste was salt, salt, and more salt. That in combination with the salty potatoes I think im good for sodium for the next month. Too bad, great setting. read more

Fairly new restaurant in Stapleton, Four Friends Kitchen, on Rosslyn Avenue. Great location with excellent parking. Staff is friendly. The problem is the kitchen! In particular, the cook! I was not overly hungry, so ordered two appetizers. First, a paupiette filled with chorizo. A paupiette, of course, is a mashed potato casing that is supposed to be filled with something, in this case, chorizo. The concoction is fried. Well, the mashed potato was definitely fried. The problem is that there was nothing but a shadow inside the paupiette! Perhaps there was a speck of chorizo. Nothing more. No wonderful chorizo flavor, only the flavor of fried dough. My second appetizer was a pork belly something on toast. The toast was definitely toast, having been been prepared at least a half-hour earlier. The pork belly, however, was merely a small, fatty piece of bacon that lacked any real flavor. This is not cuisine. This is someone trying to learn to cook. For the very nice stylishness of the restaurant, the kitchen was quite disappointing. I note that the couple sitting at the next table over was quite delighted with their choices. The problem is that hit-or-miss will not suffice. I rewarded myself with a reliabley invariable and tasty breakfast at Sassafras. read more

Food was decent but overpriced. Service was nonexistent. A shame because I work next door n walk to lunch. Crossing this place off the list

The bengiets are awesome. The food is ok. A couple of weeks ago I showed up at about 11am stood at the hostess stand for 20 min without anyone acknowledging my existence. I finally walked out and went to Starbucks for my pastry and coffee. Came back today and they couldn't put together a cup of coffee... no sugar, no cream (only Splendid, Equal, and milk). Not going to bother giving them a third strike. I'm done with Four Friends. read more

First experience and first impression was poor. Seating arrangement and seating management needs improvement.

The southwest smothered burrito was fantastic! It lived up to my expectations AND then some! My wife got the veggie Benedict, and she absolutely loved it. Coffee was delicious as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

the women in the front were unattentive and when we asked how much longer the table would take they said "there's a bunch of parties. i don't know", so we ditched waiting and headed upstairs when a nice couple told us there were available seats at the bar. the guy working at the bar was nice and he deserves five stars. the sweet potato hash was mine and it was extremely under seasoned. the lunch trio was ok. the biscuits and gravy were ok but the grits were good. the mushroom poboy was the best by far. this might be because it was mother's day and our wait was about 2/3 hours and i can understand the kitchen was probably hectic. nonetheless, that was my review read more

One of the best breakfast places I have ever been to. I came here on 2 separate occasions and ordered 2 dishes each time. Each dish was delicious especially if you like Southern food. read more

The chicken fried steak on biscuits is fantastic. It's also nice to go to a breakfast place where the coffee is pretty decent.

New favorite brunch spot!! Definitely have the beer momsa! Haven't had anything but great service and food each time!

Eggs Benedict represents a fifth of their menu. How do you run out and 86 hollandaise?

Beignets, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits... all of them were beyond amazing and I for one will definitely be back. Word to the wise, plan to wait for 30-45 minutes on a Sunday morning for some brunch, but it is well worth it! read more

Food is pretty good, but the service is just terrible. For a midday Friday, we were there for more than 2 hours not due to volume, but our server was too busy chatting with coworkers to do his job. read more

Love the food and service. Brad was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend you stop by.

This restaurant was the one place that I've been wanting to go try. I waited for over an hour and was determined to have a nice brunch with my boyfriend. We did not mind the wait because from reviews online I thought it would be amazing. When we were seated all the waitress forgot to give us water which which we understand it was very busy. The atmosphere was very loud and I couldn't hear anything. I ordered the three cheese grits and my boyfriend ordered the southern trio, the presentation was super sloppy and my grits was lukewarm.... the menu stated that they soak their grits over night for a smooth and creamy texture, which it was. However, there were no flavors and the chicken tenders were not great. I walked out telling my boyfriend that I think KFC's chicken strips are better. His southern trio was also pretty bad the chicken tenders were overly sweet, collard greens were tough too eat so we both left ours, and his Mac and cheese wasn't great....how can you mess up Mac and cheese? We also ordered a Diet Coke and for some reason it didn't taste carbonated at all, so I don't think I will be returning. read more

This place is great! Huevos Rancheros and pancakes were amazing!!! Great service and Comfortable atmosphere. I would have given this place 4.5 stars if I could! read more
