Jeremy took such great care of us. Everything was delicious. Jeremy recommended the corn dogs, which were sausages fried in pancake batter and they were incredible. Perfect place to bring family. The menu was so versatile and delicious!

Had a great time, service was wonderful. It was a little little loud in there, and the drinks are a bit overpriced.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for Ray D. at The Original – Denver, CO

My family and I flew in from Houston for a Thanksgiving week getaway, and after hearing great things about The Original, we decided to try it out. Let me just say—we were not disappointed!

Our server, Ray D., was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The food was phenomenal—everything came out fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared.

Ray D. truly made our dining experience memorable, and we highly recommend him and this restaurant to anyone visiting Denver. If you’re looking for great service and amazing food, this is the place to be. Five stars from me and my family

I've come here a handful of times now, and it's always been pretty tasty. This most recent visit was for my friend's birthday, and we all (party of six) decided to do the mimosas. Four of us had already been there for a few hours when the other two arrived after church, and they ordered mimosas as well.

That's when things got a little annoying. The mimosas are charged by the bottle, and instead of just letting us pour the champagne ourselves, our waiter insisted on doing all the refills. I get that he might've been trying to give good service, but he ended up using nearly an entire bottle to fill just two cups when the other four of us barely had anything left. It felt like we were being pushed into buying more bottles than we actually needed, which was frustrating.

That said, they did give us a complimentary bottle for my friend's birthday, which I really appreciated. And even though we stayed pretty close to closing time, the service stayed upbeat and attentive, which doesn't always happen at restaurants when it gets late.

The vibe is honestly one of my favorite parts of this place. It's a fun, casual, nostalgic mix of classic American diner energy and elegant railway dining cars, all with a modern twist. It feels warm, welcoming, and just easy to hang out in, perfect for brunch, birthdays, or just a cute meal with friends.

Despite the hiccup with the mimosas, the food was good as always, and the atmosphere makes it a spot I'll keep coming back to.

Food was absolutely delicious!! I got the chorizo hash and it was amazing. Someone else in our group got the Smothered burrito and the size was gigantic but it was so amazing. In general all the drinks were amazing and I was shocked that I liked the Brewmosa. Despite it being extremely busy the service was fast and our server was extremely great! So recommend going here for breakfast or brunch!

Love the old school diner vibe with the booths and retro chairs. Brunch was amazing. I tried the short rib eggs Benedict and a side of French toast. Super friendly service.

We all agreed that the best part of our meals was the potatoes that came with our breakfast dishes. They were like little golden nuggets of love. Our waiter was magnificent. The ambience was 10 out of 10.

WOW! What a place!! We were visiting Denver and really wanted a nice brunch place for our last day there. We came in 30 minutes before close not expecting to get a table, but they welcomed us in and when they said “no rush” they truly meant it. Our server (I wish I remembered his name) was so amazing and efficient. Food was delicious and plates were hearty! I recommend getting a bottle of Cava and all the juice options. Truly wonderful! Thank you!

We Loved our brunch at The Original. The service was wonderful and the food was great- I can whole heartedly reco the chorizo skillet and the Cap'n Crunch fried french toast; both were fantastic. We'll be back for sure. ❤️

Nice restaurant with a modern interior. Food was not bad but nothing special, definitely better options out there. Drinks were good, with lots of strawberries as a garnish, but expensive.

The Perfect Post-Staycation Breakfast: The OG Denver!

We stopped at The OG Denver for breakfast the morning after our staycation at The Rally Hotel, and it was the absolute perfect spot!

The OG Denver is a must-try for a fantastic, well-priced breakfast with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
