Tyler Pierce
Cool spot in a fun area, but breakfast food is not their forte. Our sever, Tyler, was awesome and even noticed that is was my fiancés birthday so he gave us an ice cream sundae with a candle. But the food was just not the best and lacked a lot of flavor. Would definitely go here again though because it seems like a cool spot and maybe their lunch and dinner menu are better.

OG is more than just a brunch place. The menu has real quality takes on American classics with creative twists that enhance them. They also have a dynamite bar program, really great staff and I love the bright air atmosphere. Recommended for brunch lunch or anytime after a Rockie’s game.

I took my husband here for a birthday brunch. The overall atmosphere is incredible. I had never been to this part of Denver and there’s so much to offer. The service was mediocre. We ordered our drinks first and then our appetizer/food. After waiting for 20 mins our food all arrived at once. Our drinks didn’t even come until after the food was delivered. After waiting, it just felt like a rushed experience instead of an enjoyable Sunday morning brunch. I will definitely try it again, but was not blown away on our first trip.

Me and my friend went to breakfast and it was not so good. Our first waiter was no so friendly but Elijah stepped in and made the service better 100%. I ordered French toast, egg and bacon ( all item were purchased separately )My egg was cold , two of my bacon strips were not done . Only the French toast was delicious. My friend has a gluten allergy and they have 4 items to select from. We both ordered lemonades. Those tasted like carbonated water. Our entire experience was definitely not a good one.

The food was amazing! And the service by Barney was fantastic! My wife got the eggs Benedict with avocado and said it was perfect. I got the biscuits and gravy, which was great. The home fries were crisp to perfection. We would definitely come back.

I love their breakfast and their fries way more than the diced potatoes, so I always order one of the plates and make replacements. Lots of seating and in a very walkable area. Great spot for bottomless mimosas with friends.

The location looks amazing, but that’s all this place had to offer. I’m guessing that it is supposed to be a nod to the original breakfast restaurant, but there weren’t many options for food. If you don’t eat pork, there aren’t any breakfast meat options. It was busy, but the donut sliders weren’t available, and there was a bit of a wait for staff. From the Instagram clip, I saw the service didn’t match. I was expecting more options.

This was a great experience in a cute place with upbeat music, great food and atmosphere. The service really impressed me – our waiter was super nice and came over regularly to check on us and he seemed to be enjoying himself too. The music was a mix of pop/hip-hop from 2000/2010s and I heard they do a drag brunch which I will have to check out. The food portions were large so come hungry or prepared to take some home (I totally forgot my smothered burrito on the table )

Exceptional decor, great service, and great food. I tried the avocado toast with scrambled eggs, it had a mix of kale, picked onions and sun dried tomatoes, it was divine, perfect amount of dressing, not too much and not too little. Just perfect . I’d have to come back for more .

Stefanie Baggett
The cutest breakfast place! Great food, atmosphere, and service. Def make a stop for breakfast. If you get the burrito, ask for extra green chili, it’s that good.
