    Stopped here while on a long road trip. The place is quite rustic and has that older world charm - hunting trophies on the wall, couple of old rifles, etc. You get a great feed - and the ingredients in the omelettes were nice and fresh. Wait staff very nice and friendly and came back often to check everything was ok. Bottomless coffee is nice also! Thank you!

    The Hobo supreme and cinnamon roll

    Awesome recommendations from our server. One of the best breakfasts we've had in a long time. Our food came fast and our server was wonderful and pleasant. We'll definitely return on our next trip to Colorado.

    This is the drive in from Utah to Colorado and finally at Starvin Arvin's for brunch, I was so impressed with this eatery.

    The Bean and I had a business brunch here for 408Works and 6ixes. I had a massive plate of biscuits and gravy that was delish!!! The service here was top notch too as the hostess was super accommodating with my gimp leg and crutches and sat with a private table by the kitchen. The restaurant has that you're eating at your Moms house and the food is prepared with love and affection. All kinds of art work and designed as the country boys and girls place to park and talk and enjoy the ambience.

    Clifton,CO location

    Great breakfast and lunch too place in western Colorado. This location opened in 2002. Their first restaurant opened on Redlands Mesa (south of Grand Junction) in 1983. They greet everyone and the staff has been here for years. They get a large number of locals. I came after the morning rush for people wanting to get on the hwy asap. The after church rush is coming. It's a homey atmosphere with stuffed wild animals, wood pillars and wood beams, panels and chairs throughout. They have a large breakfast menu including omelets, pancakes/waffles anx lots of meat choice. Coffee is included in the prices with infinite refills. I got the Spicy Hog omelet with ham, sausage, 3 eggs and was over stuffed with jalapeno peppers. I added a local hot sauce, Pear Blossom Farms: Dad's Peach Jalapeno Sauce made nearby in Palisade,CO to my omelet. I got a good amount of hash browns where I added more hot sauce. I ordered a cinnamon roll in lieu of toast but had to wait for it to arrive. They have a high demand for the treat. When it arrived, it was a plate filling serving. Plenty of cinnamon throughout and lightly glazed. Of course, I ate the whole thing, with more coffee. I forgot to mention that my server at the bar was Jocelyn C. She was very friendly and attentive. They do not share tips. The owner of this location, Blake had friendly banter with everyone including me.

    Supreme Hobo Breakfast.  All of my favorite things together.  It was delicious!

    We had visited location in Montrose, CO a few years ago. When our vacation took us to Grand Junction we tried the Clifton, CO location. It did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly and attentive. We were riding motorcycles and they had very good local info. Service was quick. The breakfast was great. All cooked just right. I am a big fan of their green chili. I think it pairs perfectly with eggs. I highly recommend. The unexpected treat is the jelly with the toast. Not a little plastic tray of factory sealed stuff. I don't know if it is home made, but it sure tasted like it. We had the peach and raspberry and both were delicious. I highly recommend Starvin' Arvin's and will be back for sure.

    Hot beef sandwich, it was not bad, fries were crispy and gravy wasn't too salty.

    Stopped in Clifton for gas on my way to Utah. Found Starvin' Arvin's nearby so gave it a try. Although the outside of the restaurant said something about steak, there were no real steaks on the menu, only burgers. I ended up ordering a hot beef sandwich which is kind of an old school diner food that I have not had for ages. The side salad was very decent in size although the romaine kind of wilted a little. The sliced beef was okay, average diner quality, the fries were crispy and I like to put gravy on my fries which in this case was not too salty which was good. Food was average, but service was fast and friendly.

    French toast special with bacon, hash browns and eggs
    Caroline H.

    This is a solid choice in Grand Junction! My party all enjoyed what they got. I had the French toast special and it was a good value. All good food. The cinnamon roll is giant but to be honest I didn't think it tasted much like a cinnamon roll. Just kind of like bread- wouldn't get it again. I've also had a fried chicken salad here which was quite good also. All in all good restaurant.

Food - I ordered the NY Strip - which was excellently cooked and seasoned. However,.the whole grain mustard mashed potatoes - mustard can easily overwhelm the mashed potatoes, and it did so. The other person in my party ordered the Cioppino which was mostly a miss as the flavors didn't connect. She also ordered the Palisade Peach Bread Pudding. Did not meet expectations. Service - I think all the dudes that served us were under 21. If that's your staffing model, you better train them, and have someone on the side to be a Sommelier. The servers were very attentive and professional - but there were too many subtle service misses that can be rectified with better training. Not terrible, but not the best choice.

Rarely do I rate as 5 stars but this one earned the coveted 5 star rating. The taste and food quality was outstanding. Very charming atmosphere. Wonderful customer service. Amazing views of Mt Garfield and local vineyards. It just does not get any better. Locals need to be aware of this treasure and support this local business. And oh by the way they play great nostalgic music. This evening was the 1970s.

Amazingly, finding someone that knows how to cook a steak can be difficult. After quick Google and Yelp searches, we learned about the Winery. I made a reservation online, and I'm glad I did because it is a busy place. Located in an alley, the historic building used to house a horse drawn carriage fire station. Pretty cool to think about. To me the building was quite charming. I loved the outside walls covered in vines and the old wooden door that opened into quaint, cozy rooms covered in wood and old bricks with beautiful stained glass windows. I felt like I had stepped back in time to an old timey tavern. When we arrived, our table was ready. We ordered a couple of drinks and decided to go straight for our meal. I decided on the 6 ounce filet. It was locally sourced and wrapped in apple wood smoked bacon. I asked for medium well and it was cooked to perfection. I ordered a loaded baked potato to go with it. It was a delicious meal, and I had leftovers for the next day. For the amount of food we got, the service and the quality of the meal. I would highly recommend The Winery for a date night out or other special occasion.

    Tonight was totally different than our first experience at The Winery. Our server seemed to think…read morewe needed an explanation on the difference in fattiness between a ribeye, New York strip, and a filet mignon which when you're ordering $60-$70 steaks seems kind of unnecessary. He also described the filet as very lean, which while true is still a delicious cut of meat. Then he started explaining what the Oscar topping option and it was just too much, so I told him we understood the basics. Our first time, we received a description of the specials and asked if we had other questions about the menu - perfectly appropriate. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops which we've had plenty of time, but these were topped with an apricot chili sauce that totally overpowered the taste of the scallop. All you could taste was the bacon and what tasted like a barbecue sauce - not an apricot chili glaze. We'll never order those again. The steaks were perfectly cooked as always, but the baked potatoes were luke warm and barely hot enough to melt the butter and definitely not hot enough to melt the cheese. We had a show to attend so there was no time to send anything back. At this point, we're not hurrying back for another dinner for 2 with a $300 price tag, which includes a $130 bottle of wine.
