    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.

    If you're a light eater, don't even THINK of going here! The breakfasts are epic. The only problem is the baked potatoes are usually tepid.

The bar area was bustling along with the tables filled with all kinds of good looking dishes enjoyed by families and friends. My husband's Turkey Melt and Creamy Mac and Cheese did not disappoint with gooey goodness and my Cod Fish Sandwich was crispy and delicious. If we lived in the area, we'd frequent this place for the lively ambience along with some pretty darned good food!

She never told us her name , approached us 2 minutes after we got there asking if we were ready to order and then again another 2 minutes later. Then she had the audacity to say to my fiancee that she had a hard time deciding? We were seated for about 5 minutes at this point. I ordered a medium well burger, came completely charred on both sides with no pink whatsoever. To top it all off, before she even knew our payment type we were given the receipt and there is a SERVICE FEE? That 1 single night will make me never return again.

So much for knowing who you work for and what they stand for. I feel the upgrade has a nice concept yet it is lacking customer serivce and more staff. I could tell the staff was overworked with the amount of traffic flow. We came when there was a power outage. For the luck of grace it came back on shortly after we checked out. We also order ice cream in the way out and a milk shake. 1st we got a peanut chocolate milk shake that looked more like chocolate milk. Then they got the order wrong it had milk instead of almond milk. Asked for a refund and she said she redo it. I asked kindly to make it more thick. It did not come out anymore thick. She added too much liquid. Looked like the new hire wasn't properly trained in ratio content. Then they forgot to get our bear claw ice cream. We saw a tall lad that was not working and just overseeing the other staff struggle. So sad. As far as the young lady giving out peaches outside in the stand. She looked more like she was ready for the gym than being at work. I can tell you it was offensive to see her in tight leggings. I sure wife's don't appreciate their husbands have free eye candy at a moments turn. We will not be stopping here again. So sad because I would talk about the old little stand from back in the day to everyone and how wonderful it was to go after driving from Denver on the 70. It was a nice treat. Not anymore.
