Thursday lunch was good. I had the hash bowl with fried chicken instead of chorizo and my friend had the fried chicken sandwich. Chicken was good! - not dry. Weird that they don't have an espresso machine for a brunch place. Our server was super sweet!! read more

We split a bottle of brut for mimosas, and should have split our meals, too, because the portions are massive. Everything was great, the ambiance, the service, and the food. Will be going back! read more

Legitimately might be the best french toast I've had in my life. Just look at the pic I took. It was like... a stack of crispy UFOs. Also got potatoes on the side bc my friends had been raving about them. I mean, they were good, but they were talking as if god himself made them. Waiter was also nice. read more

The Original - Brioche French Toast - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We went here for Father's Day, and didn't realize there was a Rockies game that day so traffic was wild and parking wasn't easy to find. The square it was located in was bustling and wild and looked like so much fun (maybe before game activities)! They had great drink options- we enjoyed the bloody Mary's with the marinated Brussels sprout in it!! There was so much food but reasonably priced. The pimento deviled eggs weren't my flavor but everyone else at the table liked them! The kid AFTER those bite sized churros!! We probably could have split the kids meals in two- but if I'm honest, there wasn't any leftovers. The meals were delicious and filling so be warned but I would recommend for a casual meal out! read more

Came in for breakfast on a Sunday when the Broncos were playing. It definitely took quite a while for our food to come in, but all the breakfast dishes were great. I had the chorizo hash which was excellent. My friend ordered the chili-dillas which exceeded my expectations. Would recommend both dishes! Another friend ordered a burger which was the weakest of the three. I really liked the ambience of the hotel this place is connected to--all the baseball memorabilia is worth taking a quick peek at. read more

Came here with a few friends for Denver restaurant week and we were all very impressed! We tried a two course set menu, starting with either deep fried sausages or yogurt parfaits and following with the brioche French toast or avocado toast. Everything was amazing!! Truly difficult to pick one favorite. Topped off with mimosas this is one of the best brunches I've had in Denver! read more

Excellent service, great food and atmosphere. We enjoyed the experience and would go back in a heartbeat.

I am surprised to see that The Original has such middle of the road reviews. I went this past weekend for brunch and had a good experience. The vibe when you walk in is welcoming and fun. It wasn't outrageously expensive and the service was pretty good. They were busy but our server was still very attentive, my only gripe is that he was a bit slow with the refill of the bottomless mimosas. We got the brioche French toast which I thought was a great balance of soft and sweet center and slightly crispy edges. We also got the green chili poutine which is a poutine I would put up against most other restaurants, it was well balanced and not too much green chili so it turned out the entire dish into a soppy mess. I also got the chorizo hash which I would skip, there was not enough chorizo or veggies for me to qualify it as a true hash, it was more of a potato mostly dish. That being said the potatoes were great! Another compliment all the eggs were cooked perfectly!!! I would absolutely go back to the Original for brunch! read more

Loved the atmosphere in this restaurant. The service was perfect, we loved Barney. He made sure we had a good breakfast and left happy. My mom really enjoyed her Benedict, the short ribs weren't dry at all. Very flavorful. The hollandaise had a little kick, I liked that. The matzo ball soup was good I just wish I got more than 2 little matzo balls. It's a great option for breakfast! read more

We were staying at The Rally for a weekend getaway and decided to have brunch. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from a "hotel restaurant" but this was the exception I had hoped for! The food was delicious and our server (i can't remember his name) was absolutely delightful. Attentive, but not too attentive, you know? We ate here twice during the three days we were in town and were lucky enough to get him both times. His name was Jeremy! My husband found it on our receipt. Thank you Jeremy. read more

I brought an out of town friend here on a whim and was not disappointed. Is it mind blowing out of this world service? Not necessarily. But in my experience the food is consistently good and a comfortable atmosphere at a reasonable cost which makes it a safe recommendation for out of town, and local brunch recommendations alike. read more

This place is in Mc Gregor square. Great attentive service, they even bent the rules so I could try the pancake. Blueberry with lemon drizzle. So so good! The avacado Benny was excellent. It was our first time there and will definitely go back. Try it, you'll like it. read more

This place left a lot to be desired. We came here for brunch on Sunday and the place was pretty empty. We had made reservations just in case. We walked in and we're seated at a booth which was very narrow... there wasn't much room to fully be comfortable. We waited quite a bit for someone to even acknowledge us at our table. Plenty of employees walked by. An employee even dropped silverware next to our table and didn't say anything to us while cleaning up. Not that they had to, I get they're busy cleaning, but they didn't even look our way. We waited and finally our server brought water and left again. The server finally came back and took our drink order and quickly left. We ordered bottomless mimosas. The server came back and took our food order and quickly left. We drank our mimosas and waited patiently for our food. It was about an hour or so into being sat down that we got our food. Our appetizer was brought first, which was crispy Brussels. They were not very crispy at all. They tasted a bit old, but the glaze on them was pretty good. The food was bland. It tasted as though it had been sitting there for quite some time. The potatoes were not crispy and fresh. They felt like yesterdays potatoes. The eggs Benedict bread didn't seem like it was toasted. It was cut thick and the bread felt so overwhelming. The short rib lacked flavor and again... it just didn't taste fresh. The chicken fried steak was not enjoyed by my friends. They said it was like a big piece of steak that was breaded and was just not done right. (Edited to mention I've never had it, just going off of what they told me) The croughnuts were tasty but they also tasted like they had been sitting there for some time. It also took forever to get a refill on the mimosas. I even asked the waiter if it was possible to get a carafe so that we didn't have to wait so long for our next glass and he told us they don't do that. I don't think I'll come back here. Maybe for the mimosas but there's other places that have bottomless and have better food/service. Pretty disappointed. The decor inside is cute though. read more

We stopped through here on a Sunday and it was packed with a wait time of about two hours. Luckily a spot at the bar opened up. I honestly was expecting this food to be mediocre at best since it is in a touristy spot and I was completely wrong. I had an aperol spritz which was done perfectly. I ordered the avocado toast and it was probably the best avocado toast I've ever had. It came with a kale salad that was tossed in green goddess dressing. It was a creative spin on it and hit the mark. Husband got the chorizo hash and it was also amazing. It was well balanced with the meat, potatoes, and egg as opposed to most places making it egg forward. I would be happy to go back to this place. The food, bartenders, drinks, and vibe were all 5/5. read more

We have been meaning to return after highly coveted Elite Yelp event. We finally remembered to have brunch here. Immediately after entering, I was wowed by the interior decor, art deco with a modern twist. We decided to sit at a window table tucked away in the corner facing the courtyard. The staff was warm and accommodating, no complaints in this department. I went all out with their Breakfast Sandwich, which was accompanied by potatoes. The sandwich was sad looking but delicious. The egg was fried, so beware of the first bite with the runny egg yoke potentially squirting everywhere. When I first glanced at the potatoes I was excited thinking they were crunchy, but not quite as expected but still well seasoned. My wife had the OG Breakfast and liked it. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Gorgeous inside! Love the natural light that envelopes the restaurant. we had the tab e all the way to the back facing the big screen outside. Such a great sunny day! Having dined here before courtesy of a Yelp Elite Event - dinner for breakfast. I've always wanted to dine here again. We had the chance to do brunch this recent week. I had the Original. Which was two eggs cooked your way (over easy for me), your choice of protein(sausage) and potatoes. The weakest link here was the potatoes. I was expecting a crunchy on the outside soft on the inside feast. it wasn't and it was also bland. The portion was very commendable but ..... saving grace was the sausage. It was really good! It was hefty and slightly spicy! I like it! My husband Adam D. had the bagel breakfast and he liked it! Although in hindsight his eggs should've been over medium. It was a messy scene. All I heard was "shower" and @$&#! lol! The retro like design with a twist of modern because of the open air design is well loved by me. A big fan! just please season the potatoes and crunch it up pls! read more

My family and I (party of 5) came in on a Friday morning and it wasn't too crowded. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was very well decorated for the Christmas holiday. Our server was very pleasant and gave good recommendations. We ordered the green chili poutine, mushroom frittata, kale crunch salad, chorizo hash, and zesty blueberry pancakes. My favorites were definitely the green chili poutine and the kale crunch salad. The green chili poutine came out first and I nearly finished the entire thing myself. The green chili was just perfect and the fries actually stayed crunchy under the chili which was just excellent. The kale crunch salad had a miso flavor and the mandarin oranges made it very refreshing. Everything we had was very solid and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu! read more

This place opens early so is convenient if you want to get an early start. It's conveniently attached to the rally hotel. We came in for breakfast and had some hot coffee and cold brew. The cold brew was perfect and had a bit of its own natural sweetness. We ordered the og breakfast and the chicken and biscuits. The serving sizes are huge and you definitely get your moneys worth here. My husband typically finishes everything on his plate and he actually left some. The one thing that I found wrong with the place was that we ordered sourdough toast and were served white toast other than that everything was spot on. The sweet and spicy contrast on the chicken and biscuits was delicious. On the OG platter, the eggs were cooked perfect and they give you plenty of potatoes that have an excellent tasty spice blend on them. If you're staying at the hotel, you also get free churro bites. They reminded me of the churros that you get at Disneyland. read more

I've sat on this review for months, waiting for some inspiration or a reason to change my impression but neither seems likely to happen any time soon so it's time to get in with it... We came here for dinner with friends excited to see what The Original might have to offer. McGregor Square is bursting with energy, it's near the ball park and it does seem to have an air of nostalgia for good home cooking. The reality was less interesting unfortunately as the service was blah and so was the food. We sat outside and despite lots of seating options and no shortage of empty seats still ended up next to another group that left is feeling cramped and intruded upon. COVID-edge t I guess... The food options seemed interesting but they just didn't deliver. It was expensive and relatively boring. Not bad just not worth a repeat. Is it bad, not at all. Is it someplace I want to put in repeat, absolutely not. We walk by here multiple times each week coming and going and unfortunately, based on the lack of guests, it seems that most have had a similar experience. I want this place to be cool and fun and crazy busy and serve awesome food but it just doesn't. I think that it will soon get a makeover and then change as there are more restaurants opening net by to add to the competitive landscape. read more

Food was fun and the mimosa was the best I've ever had. Wish I had inquired of the type of champagne they use

Came for brunch for my friend to ask me to be a bridesmaid and the food was incredible. I got the biscuits and gravy and was so happy. The potatoes and biscuits and gravy were so tasty. It all meshed well together. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the eggs just too much for the plate. The bathroom was in the hotel pretty far walk so that wasn't ideal but the food and the atmosphere were so cute. 5/5 would recommend read more

I went early in the morning and was surprised when I was asked if I had a reservation. The restaurant was almost empty. The host said we could eat at the bar. We sat at the bar and after we finished, I noticed that the majority of tables were still empty. The service at the bar was horrible, the two people behind the bar were busy setting up the bar and left to get supplies for the bar. Things got weird when an older woman came in and sat down next to me. It was clear that she was familiar with the staff and there was a discussion between her and a young bartender about getting together Friday night. She brought in a Starbucks coffee and asked the bartender for a mug to pour her Starbucks coffee into. I wondered if she was a regular or if she worked there but thought it was strange that she bought her coffee at Starbucks and sat at the bar ordering nothing and talked to the bartenders. I really didn't care, I simply wanted my food which was taking a long time to get. At one point, the server said that the servers was backed up and he was leaving the bar to help. A few minutes later, our food showed up and I couldn't help but wonder how long they had been sitting under a heat lamp. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. We made a reservation but it wasn't very busy when we arrived and the restaurant had ample seating. Although they were low on staff, I cannot emphasize enough how friendly the wait staff was. They offered so many recommendations, made sure to check on us when they could, and overall had A plus customer service. We started off with Brussels sprouts which were so so good. I loved the char they had to them and the sauce that came on the side was delicious with them. For dinner, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the burger. There was a bit of a wait for the food, but again, they were short staffed and we at least had the sprouts to munch on during our wait. The food came out looking fresh and hot. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I had ordered it spicy, but could have done with a bit more kick. The brioche bun was delicious, but it did get a bit soggy on the bottom. My boyfriend really enjoyed his burger and we were both fans of the shoestring fries. Overall, we had a good experience here. We loved the diner atmosphere, they had a little bit of everything, and service was so friendly! read more

I had passed by The Original a few times but never stopped in. I clearly have been missing out. I came in for a Yelp event, which allowed me to taste a variety of dishes from appetizers to desserts. I started with an adult "Capri sun" which was a delicious and refreshing rum drink. Then stared with brussel spouts and devil eggs. Score the main course. The Brussels were super crispy, just how I like them and covered in seasoning and cheese. The deviled egg was light and nice as a starter. I followed up with tasty rib and steak with potatoes. Wow! The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimmichuri sauce was the ideal compliment. Clearly the star is the show. The seasoning in the potatoes was addictive, I could eaten just a plate of those. The desserts came out just in time for my sweet tooth. Brownies and apple pie gave my sweet tooth the satisfaction it needed to call it a night. I highly recommend checking out The Original even if there isn't a game going on at the near by stadium. read more
