    Relleno plate

    Tasty food and exceptional service. Green chile could be spicer but made for the masses. Would totally stop here again for breakfast.

    Chicken fried steak

    Low key local breakfast cafe with enthusiastic servers. Our food came out fast and piping hot. The coffee is a light blend. Quality is consistent.

    Skillet

    So surprised by this brunch spot! We really liked what we ordered and would for sure go again. The gravy for the biscuits and gravy was not tasting home made. Tasted like the gravy they serve at hotels that have breakfast included. Everything else was delightful and we enjoyed the service as well as the small town feel of this breakfast joint.

    I can't believe I have lived in HR for 15 years and this is the first time to this wonderful restaurant. We tried the chicken fried steak skillet and the chili relleno burrito. Both dishes were super. Loved the side of biscuits and gravy that came with the skillet. The chili relleno burrito was fantastic and a different menu item. Loved the smothered in green chili. Fantastic service. Can't wait to go back.

    Mediterranean omelette
    Mike G.

    First visit here in close to a year. They were busy around 11 on a Saturday, and we ended up waiting 20-25 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, service was pretty quick. I tried the Mediterranean omelette (I think) for the first time, and it was very good. Along with holding the tomatoes, I might hold the olives too next time, as they were a bit much. My daughter liked the hash omelette. My French toast side was pretty good but could've been a little better done. Neither of us were impressed with her biscuit and gravy, which were small and kind of sad looking. Coffee is always good too.

    Chicken Fried Steak, 2 scrambled eggs, hash browns & last but not least, a biscuit & gravy!!! GET IT!!!

    WOW!!! The Egg is only 5 minutes away from me & I never knew it was there. What a gem of a restaurant!! Obviously, as the name implies, The Egg is open at 6am for the breakfast crowd! I was in the mood for Chicken Fried Steak, so I turned to Yelp & The Egg was the first restaurant listed. It had almost 5 Stars & over 100 reviews, so it met my criteria to try. I went after I voted (Make America Great Again!!!) so it was around 8am. The place had a nice crowd in there & I was greeted instantly by multiple waitresses. They said I could sit anywhere, and I picked a table in front of the TV. Instantly I was greeted by a server & she asked if I'd like anything to drink first, so I got a cup of Joe & let me tell you, EXCELLENT coffee. I had to find out who the maker was, it was Farmer Brothers Coffee & it was the BEST cup of coffee I've had since living in Colorado (5 years). The menu was HUGE! Check it out for yourself, both sides and it was about 16" long & laminated! The Breakfast choices were numerous, but I had my mind set on Chicken Fried Steak. It came with 2 eggs any style, hash browns, and a biscuit with gravy. The CFS was to die for! It was so tender, juicy and loaded with gravy! It was HUGE & EXCELLENT! I'm so glad The Egg is about 5 minutes from me, so I definitely will put this in the rotation!!!

    Small inside but a good spot for breakfast or lunch. Service is friendly and very helpful. Recommend the French toast or supreme burrito. Pancakes or their skillets are good options too!

    Florentine Omelette
    Erika P.

    Went and checked this place out from all the good recent reviews, but was let down a little from the hyped reviews. The food was alright. They have big portion sizes, which for the price, makes a lot of sense but a bit overwhelming. The quality is a little disappointing. It could be just what I got but my Florentine omelette barely had any egg in it with the amount of ingredients that was in it and was drowned in hollandaise sauce (see pic). Basically scraped the hollandaise sauce off the omelette only to find some egg in the bottom. The service was great and that was pretty much the highlight of the visit there. Their outside seating was also nice especially with the nice weather. Overall, don't think I'd visit again or recommend to friends.

    Great service and delicious hardy food. The place is always packed but the wait goes fast. The restaurant is always clean and bathrooms are fresh.

Luckily,…read moreit was just a short walk over and we were immediately greeted by the staff at the front door. The hostess was extremely friendly, very conversational, and we definitely got that Southern hospitality. Our waiter, Ben, was extremely helpful when it came to questions we had and dishes that he would recommend us to try as first timers. We started off with their monthly special of fried okra and it was very delicious especially dipped in their homemade sauce. The okra was lightly battered, fried to perfection, and had a little spicy kick to it for every bite. Both my wife and I went with Ben's recommendation of the Monica-Smothered Catfish and Pork Chops. It was great to know that you could order the lunch portion during dinner hours and we did just that as we weren't too hungry after getting off the plane. The catfish fillets were cooked perfectly and it paired well with the crawfish tail cream sauce. One of the best catfish dishes I have eaten. As for the pork chop, it was grilled perfectly as well and the vegetables were a nice side. Also, one of the best pork chop dishes I have eaten. The creamed potatoes were delicious, but I didn't expect melted butter on top. Since the restaurant was busy for dinner service, there was a hiccup with our toddler's meal and Ben resolved it very quickly. I wished we had room for dessert because the descriptions were definitely mouth watering and Ben did ask us a few times if we wanted to try the beignets as they are a top seller. All in all, we would definitely come back here whenever we're in Colorado to try other dishes as well as the desserts! Service was excellent as our waiter and the other staff made our dining experience very smooth and seamless. They checked in on us in a timely manner and made sure we weren't missing anything. The restaurant was clean and had a good mix of the Colorado outdoor and the Southern/New Orleans decor. The parking lot is a decent size and we always saw it full whenever we left the hotel during lunch and dinner times.

Interestingly enough, I'd never eaten at one before, so I threw caution to the wind, walked in, and grabbed the last available seat at the counter. It was already 10 a.m., but to my surprise, the place was packed! The friendly waitress took my order: * 3 eggs (over medium) * Wheat toast * Grits * Ham Even though it was very busy, my order arrived in about 10 minutes, and it was very good. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the ham slice was thick, the grits had a nice consistency and were tasty, and the wheat toast was nicely toasted and buttered. Yes, it was crowded and a little noisy, but this was a better-executed breakfast than I've had at much pricier restaurants. I'd happily return to this location when in need of a big breakfast.

The aesthetic extends to the interior, complete with old school coin-operated jukeboxes. I'm a huge fan of breakfast food and diners, so my expectations were already high; Rosie's delivered.

I'm certain many in Colorado are well aware, but I extend the recommendation to my fellow out-of-towners. Have a cup of cofffee, omelette, and maybe a milkshake; you might leave stuffed full, but not upset. I enjoyed a Greek Omelette and a cup of coffee while my wife ordered biscuits and gravy. Prompt service and warm dishes, a great morning prep for the long drive ahead. Stop by if you're in the Denver area. I wouldn't mind another meal the next time we end up in Colorado.
