Kayleigh our server was PHENOMENAL! Outstanding customer service, super friendly, warm hearted and a delight to be around. Thank you The Original for bringing her on the team. She is quite literally the best! Food was SUPERB. Everything was flavorful and just oh so good!!! Thank you to the bartenders who so kindly honored my request for switching out bourbon for vodka in our table's espresso martini's (try it, you'll love, just trust me on this). I will be back!!!

The OG is always good. Great food. Great service! This is always the brunch spot pick when we have friends/family visiting town. If they are on the menu, GET the breakfast corndogs. SO GOOD!!

More gravy, for the country fried steak and too many potato bits —add bacon for free, otherwise the entree is missing something. Purple rain wasn't special enough for 17 dollars.

Food tasted delicious. Great price for menu items. Both the chicken sandwich and turkey panini came with a side, and we decided to get the french fries which did not disappoint! Water is served as soon as you sit down, while you look over the menu. This restaurant holds a very great ambiance. Was also very clean and the service was amazing.

The ambiance is nice, especially on a nice weather day. Outdoor seating available. The food, however, was fairly basic. Am a big biscuit lover but tasted as if pre made and microwaved, was not hot either. The sausage looked delicious but tasted off. The chicken patties ordered on the side to accompany OG breakfast were highlights. The cold brew coffee was lackluster as well, quite burnt tasting. Wife's breakfast sandwich nothing special either. Service was good. Would eat if staying at rally hotel but if not would not return.

Cool location. Service was great and the food was pretty decent. Their breakfast burrito is the size a small child.

Good brunch spot with creative drinks. Definitely a good place to check out. I Had the chorizo hash which did dot disappoint and it was not greasy which is hard to find with chorizo hash. Also the breakfast potatoes are on point.

Absolutely horrible service. Food was good but we made a reservation prior and after arriving on time, we still waited 20 minutes to be seated and host told us he “is giving us someone else's table”. After being seated, we waited an additional 20 minutes for waiter to place our food order as he attended to us very infrequently and waiter was clearly overwhelmed. Will never go back to this restaurant. Food is not worth the bad service.

The cinnamon croughnuts are to die for. If there's anything I recommend on the menu, it's definitely these. Went during a week day and it wasn't too busy.

The service is spectacular--so friendly. I love the feel of the whole restaurant. And you can't go wrong with the food. Everything is delicious and seriously the best fries that I've had anywhere... And I'm very picky about my fries. Hot, fresh, crispy on the outside and squishy on the inside. I would go just for their fries.

It was Easter Sunday, so that could be a bit of the problem. We were there at 930 am, therefore it was not busy when we started by 11 when we were finished (6 in our party) it the restaurant was full. The food was good but there were parts of it that were not very hot and actually cold. The waiter was very nice but only showed up a couple of times and seemed a bit overwhelmed. Overall it was pretty good and I would probably try it again on a regular day.

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.

Went here for lunch on Saint Patrick's day. It was pretty good. They had green mimosas! The service was excellent. They have a lot of seating inside, but they do get busy. I recommend making a reservation. It's right next to Coors Field in McGregor Square.

If you are staying at The Rally hotel or want a denver brunch spot, this is a good spot to go. Gluten free bread options. Fun and lively atmosphere! Service has always been quickly and friendly too!

Everything was awesome for a lunch before an appointment. The servers were amazing and very attentive. Vanessa was awesome. Food was quality spot on. For downtown prices they are actually reasonable. They have a very nice menu variety without having too much to choose from.
