Yummy place that has a great menu with decent prices. Grits are fantastic here if you are a grits person. Always check the daily specials. We got in at 1230 on a Sunday and there was no wait and food came out hot and fast. I highly recommend the Korean hanger steak - WOW. And the bacon was amazing too!

This is a wonderful place to eat. I usually take my friends here when they come to visit.
The food is fresh and delicious.
The gravy they make for the biscuits and gravy is unique but traditional. It’s a bit darker in color and has amazing flavors.
My personal preference for corned beef hash is that it be a traditional hash which would mean everything is more finely chopped- they make theirs a bit more “ rustic.” That is, the ingredients are large chopped. Great flavors just not my preference.
I recommend.
I also heavily judge breakfast eateries on if they at least offer real maple syrup… I forgot to ask and I couldn’t exactly tell- maybe it was a blend? Next time, and I’ll update my review.

Wonderful breakfast/brunch/lunch place in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Denver. Great menu that’s a little on the pricey side but that’s Denver for ya. The grits are the best I’ve ever had. Excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This place has amazing breakfast. I got “The Universal” and it was so filling that I didn’t have to eat the rest of the day. Very good portion sizes for the price. The pork gravy and potatoes were delicious. Service was super friendly and fast. Be aware that space in the parking lot is extremely limited. You may have to resort to street parking.

My new favorite denver brunch spot! Trust me, it is worth the wait for the weekend brunch. The cornbread rancheros was delicious and the pancakes are the best I’ve had in the area. Can’t wait to come back

"This is a nice spot for breakfast! The only caveat being that I'm not particularly fond of their potatoes. They serve them sliced, and they aren't as crispy as I prefer. While this is a minor issue, it does matter to me."

Amazing from start to finish. All scratch-made food from a creative menu of elevated favorites. The house-brined corned beef hash was outstanding.

My first time here!! Can't wait to come back. The food was so good!! The biscuit was great!! I sat at the bar. Marco was my server and he was super friendly!!

Nice little breakfast spot. The U Burrito was great, grits inside were a nice touch but the tortilla was very fresh which certainly enhanced the taste. And you HAVE to add the pork green chili for the full effect.
Miguel Aguilar
We frequent this establishment often. Always a treat. Service is great and food is consistent. This day we ordered the corn beef hash, super tasty and tender. And the eggs Benedict on point. Cooked to perfection, nice and runny egg yolks. Nice job

The Custard Toast was dry, and the service was shotty after our food was delivered. No refills on our coffee or water. We were sitting outside on the patio and the weather was hot - a carafe of water should be delivered to every table if you don’t have time to fill beverages.

Delicious! Fantastic Bacon! Tasty gluten free quinoa bowl! Excellent meeting place for our Father's Day /Saturday brunch. And great service.

We've eaten at some of the best places in America. So when visiting Denver we searched for the best breakfast places. Location: Not bad. A quiet neighborhood and it's on a corner. Parking: very little for how popular it is. Wait time: We were told 20 to 25 and it turned into 40 minutes. When we asked how much longer it would be the 1st time the person didn't seem to care why we were asking. The 2nd time we asked we were told they were getting the table ready. They were and we were seated. The Service: Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. She warned us how big the pancakes were and we didn't listen. They were huge! The food was worth the best in town ranking. Everything from the biscuits to the hollandaise sauce to the preserves were homemade. So, the only real complaint: They are good and they show that they know it. From the hostess who didn't care about missing the wait time to the signs on the table that read something like: Please be courteous to others who are waiting for tables also. In other words: This place is amazing so don't be slow, let everyone enjoy.

One of the best breakfast places in the city. Pancakes as big as the plate. They have grits as well. Great service
Nico Hofmeyr
We are from South Africa and not used to fast & efficient service neither in the huge portion sizes they serve at The Universal. You have exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the awesome service you have provided. And thank you for taking extra care with our glunten-free orders
Shannon Wood Rothenberg
Our go-to breakfast spot! We're in love with everything about this place...
Rob Holdaway
Been coming here since they opened almost 5 years ago. One of those places you will just drive too. Very reasonably priced awesome service killer Bloody Mary's and the food stands alone. Always a great special available and your favorite always on the menu... i'm sure it will become one of your favorites also... peace to the Universal �️�

If you love grits I definitely recommend going here! Their grits plates are asolutely delicious and worth every penny! But make sure I'd you want their grits of the day to get their early because they tend to run out fast, which is the only bummer/complaint I have about the place. Other than that I love the food, atmosphere, and the waitresses are really nice and helpful.
Kyron Mainer
Really enjoyed the food there was a very nice environment and it wasn’t a long wait I’m luckily because there was a spot available at the bar
Doug Schmidt
We actually drove 45 miles, from east of Parker, to try out breakfast here on a Sunday morning. It was well worth the drive, great atmosphere, lots of families. Food and service were wonderful. We had great chats with people at tables on either side of us. Service was fast and attentive. Food was delicous. Must try: Biscuits and Gravy.
Selina Martinez
I had the custard toast (similar to French toast) full of berries and absolutely delicious can't wait to go back and have more small place but great ambiance
Tammy Johnson
I have eaten here several times and I have always been happy with it in the past. I would have given 4 stars before. However, today make me question do all good things need to come to an end.
Let's start with a cup of tea with only a half a cup of water. Second, in the year 2016 no modification!!!…
Mia Wazwaz
My mom would give this brunch joint 5 stars. She had the apple pancakes and said it was the best she’s ever had. I enjoyed my dish as well and am looking forward to bringing my mom back here during her next visit
Rachael Kellerman
The wait was short, service was great, and the food was delish! I order the biscuits and gravy and it was perfect. The gravy was flavorful and a bit spicy! I wish we would have visited on our first day of vaca instead of the last so we could come back!
Becky Chabot
Brunch here never fails to be amazing. If you haven't tasted the wild boar sausage they use, you need to; it is so good. The breakfast potatoes are one of my favorite things to eat in Denver. Always a joy to make it there while in town!
Danielle Davis Smith
Amazing brunch! We will definitely be back:) Best bacon I've ever eaten. Amazing Bloody Mary's and service, as well.
Josh Daniel
Quoted 35 minute wait for brunch. Still waiting to be seated an hour and 15 minutes later.
Go elsewhere.
