    We had the most amazing Christmas Brunch experience at the Original. Loved everything that we ordered . The ambience and decor was top notch and so good. Our server Kayleigh was amazing and went above and beyond. Pancakes were the best we have ever had and the Mushroom frittata was so good. Our little one loved the Dino nuggets and crinkle cut fries. 10/10 the best Christmas brunch.

    We had a fantastic time at The Original for Brunch for their Santa brunch. Santa and Mr. Clause were incredibly kind and made our visit extra special. But the real star of the show was our server, Jeremy! He was so attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Jeremy truly made our experience unforgettable. We will definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Jeremy again!

    Great spot if you're looking to do something more touristy downtown in the center of McGregor square. Food was good, service was good.

    2nd brunch at the Original: I really felt like showing it off to another friend. The bacon is by far a fave among my friends and I ; we still rave about it.
    The Original- DenverResponded on 9 December 2024
    Hey Candice, thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled you brought a friend, downtown, to enjoy brunch with us—it’s always a compliment when our guests want to share The OG experience. And the bacon? Totally a fan favorite amongst us as well, so we’re excited to hear it’s still a hit with you and your crew! Can’t wait to see you back for round three soon. Cheers, The OG.
