The Original in Denver is highly regarded for its successful blend of diner-inspired comfort food and a stylish, modern atmosphere. Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the food, specifically highlighting the steak and eggs, banana French toast, and the Hangover Burger. The service is often described as friendly and knowledgeable, though some guests note it can slow down during peak hours. The Saturday DJ brunches are a major draw for those seeking a high-energy, high-volume experience, while others appreciate the gorgeous and inviting dining room for a more standard meal.
