Mineral 1886

Amazing brunch place in Leadville in a historic hotel - huge portions and tasty food. Great service as well. Perfect place to stop by before that Melanzana appointment.Dishes ordered:Chicken & Waffles (5/5, $15). Strong chicken & waffle dish - waffle was sweet, came with a delicious side of hash browns.Leadville 100 (5/5, $16). Ordered this in burrito form with bacon, mushroom, cheddar cheese and smothered in sausage gravy. Will be dreaming about this.Drinks:Latte (5/5, $5?). Really good simple latte.

My last two days on race weekend spent recovering in Leadville, CO. I got to spend time with teammates that live in Leadville. My last night they took me to their favorite restaurant in town.Talk about not only restaurant with history. The hotel that Mineral in was built back in 1886. Leadville use to be mining town small town USA and best part at 10,500ft in elevation. The entrance to restaurant next to the front desk. The interior decor love the vibe you sense the history of the building and shows inside. They have few portraits of people assume have significant to the history. The style of the photo old school and gives you different vibe. Cool.The menu has nice diversity and even burger on the menu. I ended up getting the Scottish salmon entree. It was awesome. The salmon has perfect sear on it. Moist and juicy inside. The potatoes and sauce was amazing. Overall great dish would order again. The Black and Blue Wedge Salad was refreshing. The dressing was tasty. Service five stars!! Friends are regulars still waitress on it the whole time. Friendly. Smiles, Positive vibes. Next time visit will be back.

Brunch was very good. But we were not impressed with the staff. They seem to be in a hurry to get people in and out. We enjoyed the green chili smothered skillet. Also enjoyed the donut. We had to request a donut because it was not on the menu.

Birthday weekend in Leadville and Mineral 1886 was our breakfast stop on our way back to Denver. First, the good stuff. I'm always impressed by the small touches a dining room or a bar has. Mineral 1886 has a cool, old timey vibe on one hand and some modern touches and decor mixed in, that still fits in, if that makes sense. We stopped in based on the reviews and pics. Breakfast looked great. We ordered the Leadville 100 and the Eggs Benedict. These two for us, didn't hit the spot. The Leadville 100, a skillet bowl was overpowered by the gravy. It was hard to taste any of the other flavors. My eggs benny were bland and the hash browns were not seasoned well. I left more than I ate (which is rare, if ya know me, lol). This reminded me of a diner, maybe a Denny's. On a good note, there are small touches that can be made to get them back into a 4 or 5 star rating. It is the small things. We were in and out pretty quickly.

Delicious breakfast in a wonderful, historic setting. I appreciate that they use vintage glassware - my coffee came in a dainty glass cup and my son's juice in a beautiful tumbler. My veggie omelet was tasty but the real star on the plate was the homemade english muffin. My teen gobbled up his \chicken and waffles - and he's particular about fried chicken!The wait staff was pleasant if a little on the busy side. Loved the re-colored (updated?) vintage photographs.

Amazingly good brunch just before closing time. The skillet hash was incredible! So glad we stumbled upon this one!

WOW!! Great vibes, great music, great service, GREAT food!! I highly recommend coming to Mineral 1886, as the food is impeccable! Everything came out hot and delicious. They have great coffee and it's REALLY good, not like that regular diner coffee at all! We also got the sunrise juice with turmeric, carrots, apple and orange juice, YUM!!I also recommend going on your birthday for a free donut because they are the best donuts I've ever had, from the thick texture and flavor, WOW!!I will definitely be back!! Thanks Diane!!

Awesome brunch experience. We arrived at 10:30, had to wait a short while and were seated by 10:50 just in time to order breakfast! I got the breakfast burrito smothered gravy and my husband ordered a breakfast sandwich. Both were super hearty meals that we couldn't finish. Also, incredible homemade donuts! Also, the vibes here. The chandeliers are so awesome - I wanted so badly to sit in their private dining room with the glass windows.

This was a good breakfast while in town browsing little shops. I would put the food above a diner and below a brunch place. I ate everything on my plate! Service is neutral. Prices very fair and ambiance very cute inside a trendy hotel.

Surprisingly good hotel restaurant. We had French toast, omelette, and 2 egg dishes. The omelette was overcooked, but the other dishes were good. Skip the biscuit as a side it was burnt and dry.
