My husband and brought some friends with us to Fort Collins after moving away. We were so excited to show the town. We took them to our favorite breakfast restaurant. They used to have the best mimosa and Bloody Mary in town. Not anymore! My favorite was the trout & eggs. I don't know what happened, but everything changed. Everything we ordered was mediocre at best. Higher prices and lower quality. So disappointed. Never going back. . read more

Delicious homemade food in an inviting atmosphere. We had the breakfast burrito, the original breakfast and cinnamon roll. The food was so fresh, tasty and very generous portions of everything. The green chili on the burrito was perfectly seasoned, the gravy on the biscuits thick and flavorful. The cinnamon rolls did not disappoint! Our server Faith was prompt and attentive. Highly recommended the Silver Grille! recommend read more

Found this place while walking down the street. What a great find. It had the "locals diner" vibe. Service was excellent on a busy morning. Food was great. We did get the cinnamon buns and would say they are a must. I had the pork tamales and eggs. Was great; the tamale's were soft not tough. Great flavor. Can't wait to go back. Soooo good. read more

This is a go to for meeting up with friends or family for weekend brunch. Love when the sun begins to cooperate and sitting on the patio is possible. Always order a cinnamon roll to share at the very least. read more

The service was great. The Country Fried Steak was the worse one I have ever eaten. It was tough and flavorless. $5.75 for two grey sausage patties. read more

The food was absolutely 10/10 delicious!! We had a giant cinnamon roll and then the country breakfast and I can not recommend it enough! The service was quick and friendly, never having to wait on a refill. It was a Sunday morning when we went to so we did have to wait on a table but it was maybe 10 minutes. The ambiance is bustling but quiet enough where you can hear your conversation easily. Can't wait to come back! read more

Silver Grill Cafe - Giant Cinnamon Roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I wish we had a Silver Grill Cafe at home It is my favorite breakfast place anywhere! We arrived a little later in the morning so there was a wait. It took a good 45 minutes for a table to open, but it is worth the wait. There was 5 of us, and we ordered all kind of breakfast meals. All of them fantastic. Although it was busy, we still had great service. If you are in Fort Collins, you must have breakfast here. It is fantastic! read more

Always a classic spot to go. Been going here for years and of course the cinnamon rolls are killer. They recently redid the rest of the menu and it's great! Inside ambiance is also improved. read more

Food service and ambiance was great!! Really enjoyed it!! Our server was really friendly. Will be coming back soon!! read more

Food is delicious and service is good. Busy sometimes but well worth waiting for. One of our favorites in Ft Collins.

Popped in here for my mother's 86th birthday, I had my 21-year-old son and my two-year-old granddaughter with me. The server very kindly brought out some fruit for my granddaughter to snack on while we were waiting for our meals, the food came pretty quickly and everyone enjoyed it! As always, the cinnamon rolls were gigantic and quite tasty (according to my son :) ) read more

The food was AMAZING, our server was very attentive and professional. The cinnamon toast was to die for AND of course you can't leave here without taking a cinnamon roll to go . Place was busy but they have plenty of seating available, even if you have to wait it is well worth the wait. read more

I've been here a few times and really appreciate the atmosphere and kindness of staff. The specialty cinnamon rolls are my favorite.

In a word: perfect. Casual, unpretentious, nostalgic... everything you want from a breakfast diner vibes-wise. But then the menu surprises you- this is far more than pancakes, eggs, and bacon. So many unexpected and delicious options. So many variations on the cinnamon roll. So many boozy coffee drinks! And ALL OF IT is fantastic. Seriously. All of it. This place is a sleeper hit. There is ALWAYS a wait. Go support Old Firehouse Books next door to kill some time and support another small FoCo business read more

The place is bright and cute. I ordered the corned beef and hash and was disappointed because it was mostly hash and barely any corned beef. read more

The food was very good and the cinnamon rolls lived up to their reputation. A very attentive staff and the facility was interesting in its layout blending the added spaces over the years. A pleasant experience. read more

I will go significantly out of my way to get the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had from here. When I lived in Foco it was a weekly routine to go grab one on Sunday mornings. I've had a few other things and it's an overall pretty good brunch spot but the highlight is by far the cinnamon rolls. If you're going to go just know that it is always crazy busy on the weekends so there's a wait and it takes a second- but it's worth it! read more

Silver Grill Cafe is the diner of all diners. This is the true heart of cafe culture and a beautiful portrayal of Fort Collins. Parking in the area is hard to come by, but there is a small lot in the back with parking specifically for The Silver Grill. The interior design is everything. Quaint yet modern with a country cottage vibe. Bright whites and rustic browns fill the space along with several seating areas. And there's the cutest display case and counter filled with all their delicious cinnamon rolls and goodies. Giant Pecan Cinnamon Roll. A great starter to get your tastebuds flowing. The bread was soft and the pecans added the perfect crunch and texture. Bear Braised Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. Yeah, it's as good as it sounds. I recommend ordering the eggs sunny side up so the yolk drips over the rest of the meal, then adding a bit of tabasco. Phenominal tasting meal! As for the service. These guys were running around like crazy and getting the job done. The entire restaurant was packed and I feel they did a wonderful job keeping up with the demand. I'm already talking about coming back here with my sister. Everything about the place is up to speed with our culture today. Can't wait to come back! read more

Silver Grill Cafe - Half order of Eggs Benedict is heavenly. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Seated promptly for a Friday morning. Loved the bustling vibe and so interesting to see the shelves of named coffee mugs for $1.89 coffee. Great efficient service. Chili Rellenos: crispy chili rellenos, veggie green chili, cheddar cheese, hash browns. Great taste but when we asked the server how it was prepared, she stated that it was dipped in flour and deep fried. What we got appeared to be a wrapped chile relleno. Corned beef hash: dry and sour overcooked - glad I had asked for soft poached eggs to get some moisture into the dish. Don't skip the pecan cinnamon rolls. It's amazing . read more

This place is the best. We went twice in the 4 days we were in Fort Collins. The service was great. The food was great. The place is classic. Been there for ages. It's huge. You're greeted by the amazing cinnamon rolls in the front counter. Wow. We had to get some of those. We got one of each (for the 4 of us). Cuz they are huge. Both were very good. Moist and buttery. Not gonna lie, I got the same thing both times. It was that good. It was the corned beef Benedict. Omg it was amazing!!! Everything was amazing. We will absolutely be back. read more

Silver Grill Cafe is an homage to the old school diners of yesteryear. Though modernized, clean and renovated to 21st century dining culture. As the oldest dining establishment in Northern Colorado, it's well deserved place in history shouldn't be neglected. I've walked by the cafe numerous times, however dined in for the first time a few weeks back. I rolled out of bed onto Walnut St. and was pleasantly surprised from the brightness and openness of the cafe. The hostesses were friendly and for a Wednesday morning, I was shocked to see how crowded it was. I opted to sit at the counter. I mean, duh, it's a diner after all! Once my black coffee finally arrived, I went off in my little world. I daydreamed, I closed my eyes, I listened to the hustle and bustle of a midweek morning. It reminded me of all the Greek diners I visited during my family vacations to Brooklyn as a kid. Close your eyes at any diner worth its weight, and you have no idea where you are on the map. Beer Braised Corn Beef Hash and Eggs // Corned Beef, hash browns, bell peppers, onions, toast. Very good hash. Traditional almost to a fault. For me, the corned beef was diced too fine, making it difficult to distinguish the flavor of the beer braise. Larger chunks of corned beef would've taken this to 11. Again, just my opinion. Their potatoes are unique to the restaurant and pretty tasty. Watching the line cooks prepare essentially an entire farm for service on the grill was fun to witness. FAMOUS GIANT CINNAMON ROLLS // I was stuffed after my breakfast, how the heck could I make room for one of their legendary cinnamon rolls? I asked the staff if it'd hold up on the drive back to Denver. She suggested popping it in the microwave for 45 seconds and adding the frosting after. Boy was she right. This was the most delicious, unctuous, satisfying cinnamon roll I've ever had. No wonder why they make 10,000 per week! Four stars instead of five, because the service was lacking. The hostesses/cashiers were great. But sitting at the counter I had to wait quite a while for my coffee. And I'm pretty sure the guy two seats down (who sat after me) got my plate of food before me. I love the chaos of the counter, the ability to watch the staff interact with one another, and the kitchen pump out quick tickets. There was definitely room for improvement here and it was only a Wednesday morning. During the pandemic, the food editor of Esquire deemed Silver Grill Cafe the best breakfast in America. A pretty bold proclamation if you ask me. As far as the breakfast, I can't say I'm in agreement. However, what makes a diner stand out aren't its perfections, rather it's imperfections. Coffee will be spilt, a customer will be hungover and cranky, pots and pans will crash to the ground, the waiter will forget the side of hot sauce you asked for, etc. We all mistakes, we aren't perfect. That's the nature of the human spirit. Maybe he was right, maybe Silver Grill Cafe really is the best breakfast in America. Not because it's the greatest breakfast you'll ever have, but because it represents the soul of us all. read more

The chili rellenos were scrumptious!! You MUST try the cinnamon roll toast. I could've eaten several pieces of that. read more

I really want to love the Silver Grill since it's a favorite of so many people. However, I have yet to be impressed. My most recent visit was a train wreck. I ordered my go-to breakfast dish, traditional eggs benedict. It was gorgeous looking and I sank my teeth into the first bite. Suddenly my mouth started to burn...misery! For some reason they had decided to heat up the hollandaise sauce with cayenne pepper? Or something of that nature that rendered the meal inedible. Certainly nothing in the description indicated that the Eggs Benny was a spicy dish. If it had this in the description, I would have ordered something else. I had to send my dish back, because I certainly wanted a breakfast that I could eat. Basically my whole table was done eating by the time I received the redo. This time the hollandaise was normal, but they had provided maybe a teaspoon of hollandaise on each egg, the eggs were under poached so that the whites were runny (who likes that?) and there was no way I was going to send it back again. I just asked for a to-go box and reheated the eggs later. Overall, money poorly spent. By the way, the "hash browns" are just really boring potatoes. Not crispy, not well seasoned, nothing redeeming about them. read more

Daughter and I went here after I scoped Breakfast in FC. We enjoyed overall, some things were excellent, some solid, and some okay. Daughter had a latte, which was overly proportioned with milk. Eh. She had the veggie omelette, they put the cheese on top instead of mixing in with other ingredients inside. She thought it was okay. She loved the biscuits and gravy! I had the veggie eggs benedict. All ingredients were fresh, eggs poached well. I liked it. The hash browns served with both our meals were phenomenal. Quite possibly the best hash browns I've ever had. Very flavorful, and the texture was absolutely perfect, crisp but neither over nor under done. I got a side of cinnamon toast, asked for some syrup for it, it was the star of the meal hands down. We both loved it, outstanding! Allen was our server. He was excellent. Cordial and attentive, he showed up at all the right times through the meal. Want tot try the cinnamon roll next time, and the menu has a host of other things looking good to try. read more

I've spent much of my life searching for the perfect cinnamon roll. Some have been dry, some have been overcooked, and some have been pretty good but not perfection. The Silver Grill has perfected cinnamon rolls. They also serve a cinnamon roll french toast that is out of this world. I wish we lived closer because this is probably my favorite brunch place. The mains we've tried are also wonderful. read more

It just seems essential for breakfast in Fort Collins to, at some point, experience Silver Grill Cafe. I had friends in town from Boulder and so they had already experienced the hipster Colorado element of Snooze, so why not take them here for the more cafe experience of Old Town? If on a weekend, prepare to put your name on the list and wait as the place will be packed. But, hey, it'll allow you to enjoy the morning in Old Town a bit while you wait for that text for your table. Silver Grill is known for its cinnamon rolls so, if you have a sweet tooth, those are must. Their breakfast options are all solid and come with endless hash browns so if you have the ability to have no end with how many potatoes you stuff into your body, enjoy. I ate there again recently. Great place to have a conversation and basically to eat enough that you won't have to eat again until the evening. Kind staff and just a great morning experience. read more

This place is the best. For starters, the service is AMAZING. There is like a 5 mins wait time for any amount of food you order. I personally like the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with the loaded hash browns. It's not even loud in there. It's not library level, but it's to a level where you can talk normally with (someone you brought idk). So uhhh yeah I think that this is 5 stars on the spot. read more

Recently visited to Fort Collins for a wedding. We happen to come across this gem and all I can say is wow. This was the best breakfast spot in town. From the bread to the cinnamon rolls to the sauces, Everything is made from scratch. And the service ??? Nothing short of perfect.. If you want an amazing breakfast in Fort Collins, this is the place to go..hands down !! But Don't take it from me ...we only went multiple times during our stay after checking out other highly rated spots...5 STARS. read more

Food and prices are great! In town for a graduation, we met here with a group of 5 for breakfast Friday morning of Memorial Day weekend. There was no wait, we shared one of the massive cinnamon rolls, it was delicious. Portions for everyone were very filling. Loved how folks can buy a custom mug that stays on display until they return for use. Very cute place with a hometown feel. read more

The trout and eggs is my favorite dish. Have it with one of their cinnamon rolls and you won't be hungry for the rest of the day.

Outstanding breakfast with excellent service. The "mini" cinnamon pecan bun is big enough for two. Chile relleno is actually two rellenos plus eggs and tasty home fries. A bit noisy on a weekday morning. read more

The Ag Grill is my go to ... rarely disappoints. Had the Pork Belly Benedict today ... it was excellent !! IMHO the Grill beats Snooze, Urban, Watch, Mountain, both creperies and many others Try the trout breakfast, chicken fried anything & eggs, std breakfasts and griddle fair ... many of the mex dishes are good as well FYI - I'm not a cinnamon roll person, so I have no clue There are others equally good but the Ag Grill is tough to beat read more

Omg! The best breakfast in all of Colorado!! The cinnamon rolls are so BIG you could share them...but don't! They're so freaking delicious!!! Even the cinnamon toast is awesome! If you order the chicken fried chicken I would share it, so you have room for the cinnamon roll! Just writing this post makes me hungry. I'm stopping by on my way home to Washington state to get a bunch of rolls & a breakfast to go. My friends at home may (or may not) get a cinnamon roll by the time I get home. Just beware...parking is challenging. Leave plenty of time to sip the coffee and chat. Really is the best food in Fort Collins. read more

So I came back to get that corned beef eggs Benedict. Sooo worth it. Highly recommend!!! Last time we came on a weekday morning and service was extremely attentive. On this Saturday morning (back on Feb 16...respecting the quarantine) the line was an hour long to get in, and service's was noticeably more divided, but not so much as to deduct a star (almost, but not quite). My companions ordered the banana nut French toast, western omelet, and grilled chicken salad (I know! Who goes to a breakfast diner to order a salad? My wife.) We all agreed my bene's were the best pick. When it's warmer out and quarantine is over we are looking forward to biking back here and earning our calories!!! read more
