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 love their coffee and vegan/gluten free muffins. The chocolate chip are the stuff dreams are made of. Dreaming of one now, in fact.

Not a good vegan option. Only one vegan choice, peanut butter energy ball and the cashier didn’t know the difference between vegan and gluten free. Mediocre overpriced drink.

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.

The owner came out to our table to work through menu options for our gluten-intolerant kid, then delivered an excellent meal! Noise level and ambiance were excellent for a nice meal with friends.

Food wasn't great. It was prepared by the kitchen staff well, but lacked flavor. The potato soup was bland, the gluten free bread was dry and had very little flavor. Was just not a great meal. Service was excellent however.
