    Was really excited to see Paperboy come to the West Highlands neighborhood and fill the void we've had for a fun sit down brunch. The vibes here are amazing, and I appreciate the big garage windows and patios to make all the seating bright and airy. We loved sharing the brown butter paperboy pancake along with our individual breakfasts. I highly recommend the lox and jalapeño business cocktail that I ordered for myself. Can't wait to return and try more from this menu. jalapeño business (reposado tequila, pineapple, sage, jalapeño, lime) paperboy pancake (maple syrup, brown butter, sea salt) lox plate (citrus cured lox*, grilled scallion cream cheese, citrus kosho, pickled beets, cucumbers, wild rice furikake, shiso, flax toast)

    It's rare that I go all in on brunch these days, so I'm pretty selective about where I go. Paperboy made it very easy to be excited about brunch again. This is their first Colorado location, originally from Austin, and it really feels like a neighborhood all-day café done right. I didn't even drink when I went, and honestly I'm glad because I got to fully focus on the food. We tried quite a bit and everything was genuinely great. The ricotta toast with strawberry, rhubarb, and honeycomb was fresh and balanced. The chorizo and potato empanada was flavorful, and the orange chai brioche roll and strawberry hibiscus pop tart were both standout pastries. The chicken and biscuit was a highlight. The fried chicken was juicy and tender with a really crispy, well-seasoned crust. Easily one of the better fried chicken dishes I've had in a while. The paperboy pancake and Texas hash were also solid, and the orange blossom cortado was a creative and really enjoyable coffee drink. Overall, this is a spot where everything feels thoughtful and well executed. Definitely one I'll be going back to.

    We decided to make reservations for 10 people for brunch while we were visiting Denver. We showed up a little early but they were still able to accommodate us pretty quickly. Service was pretty good but I was a little frustrated that they ran out of empanadas and it was only 11 am and she forgot to bring the sausage with my order. I ordered the chocolate chip pancake and added the 2 sunny side eggs and sausage. My fiancée ordered the fried chicken and biscuit and hash brown. The pancake was a little different from the normal pancake and it was ok. My fiancée enjoyed the fried chicken and wasn't a fan of the biscuit. The hash brown was good but nothing special. Everyone in my party liked their food and drinks. I liked that they served cubes of rice krispy treats with the check. Overall it was a good experience. It's a cute restaurant and the restrooms are clean.

    What do you do when everything looks good on the menu? Well... you order (almost) everything! Unfortunately, there were a few things the restaurant was out of when we arrived. We scoped out the menu beforehand and had our hearts set on the poblano and cheddar biscuits, the avocado toastada, and strawberry hibiscus Pop-Tart, but alas not was not to be. Fortunately a couple of other things that we wanted were still available and we were able to try some other delicious things instead. First stop, cocktails. The Spring Fling was a delightful twist on the Aperol Spritz. I loved it! Highly recommend! The lox plate was not quite what I expected. It was delicious, but I was a little disappointed that half the dish was just bread. The smoked salmon was divine. It went really well with the pickled beets and veggies...And that scallion cream cheese sauce just brought everything together so beautifully. So much flavor on one plate. I would pay more to get a larger portion of everything else with with less of the flax toast. Maybe two slices instead of four? The chicken and biscuits were really good. The biscuit was cooked to just doneness, so it was nice and chewy in the middle. The chicken was fried perfectly, but could have used a pinch more seasoning. The steak and eggs... Loved this. This steak was nice and tender. Seasoned beautifully and cooked perfectly. The chimichurri on top had a nice kick to it. A little spicier then I expected. Definitely woke the taste buds up in a good way. The arugula and radish salad on the side was a great palate cleanser: Crisp and peppery. It complimented the rest of the dish very well. The eggs were scrambled perfectly: Soft and cheesy but not runny. Normally I am a breakfast potatoes girl but there were so many other delicious things on that one plate that the poor potato wedges barely got any attention. They were cooked well and season just fine, but flavor-wise they pailed in comparison to everything else on the plate. The lemon and ricotta pancake was tasty. I was hoping for a little bit more filling, but it was still good. Fluffy and spongy... More like cake and less like a regular pancake. That almond cherry coffee cake muffin was so good! I should have got an extra one to go. It was perfectly sweet, moist and spongy with a deliciously bright, fruity filling. If you get one of these, get another one for later. Or for breakfast the next morning. Either way, get two. I wasn't a big fan of the ricotta toast with strawberry and rhubarb. I had really high hopes for this one, but unfortunately there were too many competing textures here and I don't think that the flax toast was the best choice of bread for this kind of dish. The earthy flavor of the bread, the thick, tough texture of it, as well as the little flax seeds in it gave the dish an unexpected savory element which made it unpleasant. And there was just so much ricotta on the toast. It was difficult to eat this neatly and enjoy all of the flavor and texture elements together. Personally, I would have enjoyed this as a dessert, without the toast. In fact, my friend and I chose to deconstruct the dish and we enjoyed it much better without the toast. A spoonful of ricotta, strawberry and rhubarb with a touch of that delightfully tangy herbed vinaigrette... It was fantastic. Hopefully there will be a toast-free version of this dish on the menu the next time I come. Each of the staff members we interacted with was absolutely wonderful. Kind and friendly and welcoming. This place does get crowded though. Not sure if they take reservations but if they do I highly recommend them. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and limited street parking available so plan accordingly.

    Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Great service. The wait times are on the longer side for Denver, but worth it.

    This Colorado location of a popular Austin,TX brunch spot opened March 24th. I have driven by on Sat mornings and always saw a line of people waiting at 9am. So I came this Friday morning when they opened at 8am. Four people were waiting. I sat at the tiled bar and was served by Lindsey. Very pleasant. Nice brunch menu. I started with a strong cup of Superthing coffee and the Spring Fling cocktail. It was an Aperol Spritz with strawberry shrub, basil, cava and sparkling water. Perfect brunch drink. I got half & half in a mini jug. Free refills of coffee & creamer. Very clean and airy dining area. They have 8 bar seats, a community table for 8 and numerous 2 & 4 person tables. I got the Almond & Cherry coffeecake which actually was a muffin. Very fresh with cherry compote inside and topped with shaved almonds. The kitchen was very quick. My brunch entree was the Texas Hash. A large amount of shredded roast pork with onions, cubes of sweet potato on a bed of pecan mole. Yummy and filling. I saw several children in high chairs, but saw no children's menu. Their website will only accept reservations for 2+ people, so arrive early for solo dining. Fellow customers told me they came one day at 130pm and was told of a 45min wait. There are 10 patio tables on the west side accessible from inside. Plenty of room for wheelchairs. They have 1 men's & 1 women's restroom. No parking lot. Street parking is limited to 2hrs, but saw 3hrs available on north-south streets.

    Classic breakfast with eggs over easy

    Came in for Saturday brunch and it was incredible, our server was nice and helpful. We got two classic breakfasts, one b.e.c., and a chocolate chip pancake all were very good. I would NOT skip the pancake it was a fav favorite. The potato wedges were also amazing!! The uncle Jesse and Paloma were also a hit. We will definitely be back!

    My "foodie" daughter & I visited their Austin location last December and were excited to learn they were coming to Denver. This is the perfect location for their concept. They started out as a food truck, which explains their limited menu, but everything they make is top-notch; the quality/test of their food exceeded even our hopes. A Saturday morning brought about 50% families with very small babies/kids, but our server, Jessie, was awesome. First, their "Cinnamon Toast" should be renamed to "The BEST thing you'll eat" - as it hits just right (not too sweet). The Ricotta Toast was also balanced right between sweet and savory (the honeycomb was amazing). The Chicken & Biscuit has an amazing "hot" honey that is just spicy enough to notice, but won't be a distraction - just Wow!. My eggs/avocado/pork in fresh tortillas were filling, and the sauce just made every bite a delight. Paperboy has raised the bar, and no one else comes close. Don't snooze and let this opportunity go by. Traditional brunch menus may be more extensive, but everything is mediocre. Paperboy has focused on what they do best - and they knock it out of the park. My only recommendations are to (1) get a reservation on OpenTable; (2) Arrive early to find parking - a challenge in this neighborhood - you may have to walk a few blocks - but worth it, and (3) Try something you may initially be hesitant to try - I did, and it was well worth it. YUM! Thank you, Paperboy, you delivered!!

    Well, I have visited this restaurant 3 times. All 3 times have been for a holiday brunch or…read moredinner. Location (4 stars) This restaurant is downtown near the convention center. parking is pricy if you valet park at the hotel. Last year it was around $40. Parking in the lot across the street for $25 dollars Easter Sunday. If you use a walker, I would not recommend the parking lot across the street. Food (3 Stars) The Thanksgiving buffet is the best one. I would rate that buffet a (4). The Christmas and Easter buffet are pretty low key. There is a carving station (ham and prime rib). There is an omelet station. Dessert bar is decorative. Cheesecake was delicious. The warming station with potatoes, sausage etc. leaves much to be desired. The charcuterie station is sparse. They offer unlimited mimosas for an additional $25. Service (5 stars) Staff are extremely friendly. Cleanliness (2 stars) My only complaint, I saw a tabletop being cleaned off with a rag used to clean the chairs and then under the table on the floor and on to the next tabletop. I'm just a little picky about that. Especially since folks these days go commando and wear short attire, and you know their parts are on the chair and now spread to tabletops. Wiping up the crumbs off the floor with same rag simply through me over the edge. Atmosphere (4 stars) Spacious uncrowded environment. Nice decor. Bright with large windows.

    During the last few Denver Restaurant Week events, I've tried to take the offerings as an…read moreopportunity to sample restaurants that I haven't tried, or otherwise may not try, and see if I can add to my list of favorites. I saw Former Saint on CBS News, and the menu and food looked incredible. In particular, that white chocolate blueberry cheesecake was something I know my hubby would look forward to all week! I loved the idea of local food and fresh homemade dishes. Sounds healthy, after a week of potential over-indulgence at other restaurant week venues. An additional bonus was that it is located right near the Denver Convention Center and the Performing Arts Center. This has become a dry spot for fine dining, with even the choices on Larimer Square growing more thin, giving rise to the inability to get reservations at favorites like Tamayo and Rioja prior to a show. I go to performances frequently with friends, and despite my rule to avoid hotel restaurants (Former Saint is in the Hyatt Regency), I thought I'd scope out Former Saint as a place to take my friends before the next symphony or Children's Chorale or ballet or broadway performance. I must say, the jury is still out. Former Saint was a Jekyll and Hyde of courses. Parking was not difficult (Yay, maybe I can park here prior to my shows, if I grab a bite first). There is a large garage, and the promise of validation from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is typical hotel restaurant. Booths, tables, old and a bit drab. Except for the bar. Oh, my! The bar has this BEAUTIFUL copper creation above it, adding so much industrial character to the space! I was in awe looking at it, as it appeared to bring craft suds to the bartender's taps. I didn't ask how it worked, as it wasn't clear how the beer separation and dispensing worked, but it was a great centerpiece and spectacle for the place. I do wish I had investigated more about this architectural marvel, and will do so if I return. For restaurant week, my husband chose the Lobster Ravioli, Ribeye, and blueberry cheesecake (as predicted). I chose the Gotham salad, roasted chicken, and key lime tart. The lobster ravioli was nice; my husband was surprised that it was a toasted ravioli, but enjoyed it. My salad was full of beautiful greens, pears, walnuts, and feta. No scrimping here! The dressing was light and sweet/sour. The pears were a bit unripe and crisp, to the point that I was having trouble identifying exactly what fruit I was eating, but other than that, the salad was beautiful, healthy, and ample. My husband's ribeye steak was a nice cut, done to his liking. Slivered hash browns were underneath with a nice green chimichurri on top and some sliced Fresnos adding a welcome kick to the dish. My chicken was delightful. 1/2 chicken on the bone, seasoned nicely, and with a pan sauce. The breast was super-tender and delicious. It came atop cheesy grits, which was a yummy substitute for a mashed potato. I also was served side salad of curly lettuce and fennel. I probably didn't need more salad, but I was glad to have the healthy side on my plate. I will say that this salad was over-seasoned. The chicken and grits were great, but the salad too salty. My husband ordered a glass of J. Lohr Cabernet, which was a very nice find on the wine list, as far as a pairing for his ribeye. That said, the glass cost $30! A bit much, I might say. The real detractor, unfortunately, was dessert. The blueberry cheesecake looked nothing like the beautiful creamy white cheesecake accented throughout by purple blueberries, which I saw on the CBS News clip. My husband was served a very small solid purple slice, overcome with whipped cream dollops. This cheesecake had been uncovered in the fridge too long, with sort of a skin on it. My husband ate almost none of it. My key lime tart was similarly over-adorned with whipped cream, although I had some nice raspberries on top. The tart also seemed overexposed to the cool air, with the thickening of a skin on top. It was a very disappointing way to end a nice meal, and belied the healthy, homemade, craft theme. High points of this experience include the well-crafted and healthy entrees, the fact that we could see the convention center right outside our window (i.e., the location is perfect for pre-event or -theater), the $3.00 validated parking fee, and that beautiful copper tap system. Will the pros outweigh the cons? Will we be back with friends? Time will tell.
