Solid breakfast joint for just /good/ breakfast. No frills, just done well. Food was prepared extremely fast. Their house made garlic ranch is delicious. House made gluten free bread options. Staff is friendly and attentive.

I try to come here for lunch or dinner a couple times a year over the last 6+ years. Always a fun atmosphere to enjoy a meal at; the MCM aesthetic is whimsical and nostalgic. Food is always yummy, but overpriced. There are limited gluten-free options, which is frustrating. I’ve yet to encounter a decent level of service though; the team is consistently awkward and lack people skills. Maybe that’s the vibe the owners are going for?

I had a really great experience here. The food was so good, but what made it better was the service we got from Hayden. He knew the menu very well and was super accommodating for my gluten sensitivity. 10/10 I will be coming back and bringing friends.

Eaten at fresh chef before in Denver. We knew we loved the shrimp and grits. Planned to come here for Mother’s Day. Each ordered the shrimp and grits. I ordered the breakfast potatoes for brunch and he ordered a side of the mushrooms (which he had before and LOVED) Shrimp and grits: shrimp was really overcooked, none of the bell peppers were cooked in mine but was in his. Maybe that is how they come but some consistency issues. But the flavor was really good. And very large portions Mushrooms: the reduction was not reduced. It was a soup. But the flavor was still very good. Breakfast potatoes: a simple dish that is a classic favorite. The most disappointing. No flavor at all. Too much oil in the potatoes and no seasoning whatsoever. Even ketchup couldn’t save them. The onions were cooked well but unless you ate the onion you couldn’t taste them with the potatoes. Service was good. You don’t have a specific waiter which is a little confusing. We had three people ask about the same coke refill we needed but only after he sat with an empty glass for a good while. They also provided me with a gluten free menu which was awesome. Atmosphere is great! Definitely 5 stars on that but unfortunately the food supersedes any thing else so we were left with a “meh” Maybe we will try it again sometime and see. I will then update the review.

We had the crab cakes today and they were awesome. I am gluten free (celiac) and they accommodated my diet. Our waitress, Allison, was great and made the whole experience exceptional.

Excellent! My husband and I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Choplin's. I have celiac disease which I discussed with the waitress. She, in turn, discussed with the chef who was able to confirm a meal choice which was gluten free. We had very good service and a wonderful meal! Can't wait to go back again!

Consistently delicious and staffed by the absolute nicest folks. I often eat here with my sister, who has a gluten allergy, and they take allergens seriously. Everything I’ve had is great but my go-to is the little bacon cheeseburger with Cajun fries. The bacon is always perfectly crispy 🤤
