The Universal

I've been wanting to come here for a while and so glad we stopped in! Just missed the rush and we're seated quickly around noon.I had the biscuit recommendation and my husband got the grits- I love that both dishes came with greens of some sort! Both were good but I preferred the biscuit dish as the grits were a bit on the all one note a little too liquidy. Ambiance was casual and friendly! Solid spot for brunch.

Holy crap. One of the best breakfast burritos I've had in Denver. The Universal isn't a massive restaurant, and it gets busy, so if you're going to walk in for brunch like me and my two friends did on a Sunday morning, I'd recommend arriving early, especially to find parking. We were eventually seated at the bar in some corner seats.The U Breakfast Burrito ($15) has jalapeño, cheddar and pepper jack grits, pulled pork, eggs, and habanero honey, smothered with pulled pork green chili and cilantro. OMG! It's huge, packed with flavor, and fresh. I didn't get a chance to try their Bloody Mary but definitely will next time. Service was quick. Would come back and get another burrito.

One of our breakfast staples. Their food is unique and delicious and their grits are the best around (daily specials are awesome). I love coming during the week for discounted mimosas and bloodies. Come early on the weekends to avoid the wait. I prefer to sit at the bar where the staff give great service, and people watch.

I don't know what I was thinking with the last review. This is by far our favorite brunch spot in Denver BY FaR. In a world where people are more focused on health this is the perfect balance of diner meets quality. Where you can have amazing tasting dishes but not feel like you're rolling out the door. If you're in DENVeR don't think twice!

This place can get pretty busy on the weekends, so expect to wait a bit. There is free parking in the parking lot. Always had a solid experience here. Servers are really nice and attentive. Food comes out super fast! Their pork sausage is homemade and so good! They are thick patties - highly recommend! Also love their potatoes. They come thinly sliced and some parts are crispy, which are my favorite. I got an iced chai and they have a spicy or honey version. I ordered honey and it was great, just a bit too much milk was added. The server was nice enough to add more chai for me. So if you want light milk, might be worth letting your server know

Met my girls group for a beginning of summer brunch... The hostess was great and accommodating. While they dont seat you until your whole party is there, they keep your place in line. We all chose their signature Bloody Mary which was so delicious! Our meals were hot and tasty! Burritto and eggs benedict were yummy. I tried the smoked tomato scramble... While I love tomatoes and spinach in my eggs, I wasn't a fan of the smoke flavor. And, there are some many other delicious items to try! What a great way to start our summer!

Really enjoyed brunch here! My friend and I split the U Breakfast Burrito and the Custard Toast. The breakfast burrito was a tasty combination of sweet, spicy and savory. The Custard Toast was realllly good, but I don't recommend it if you are weird about partially "wet" bread (from the custard). I would absolutely order it again and again! There was ample parking, a small back patio area, and attentive service. I'd love to go back!

Came here for breakfast. I would say it is a diner but a little nicer than a regular diner. Service was great, much better than in most places in Denver. I wasn't a fun of the seats because they were too hard. Otherwise place is clean and appealing, The menu is pretty large and has lots of selections and reasonably priced. I think it was the cheapest meal we had in Denver and it was also high quality and tasty. I had quinoa ball that was unique and filling. My husband had breakfast plate with eggs and meat patty. Meat patty was actually made of real meat and not some processed food. Definitely recommend.

Love the gluten free blueberry pancakes here! And the green tea is fantastic too. The staff is excellent and cheerfully accommodating as well.

Absolutely amazing service, employees, owners, and best of all the FOOD!! The owner greeted us and brought us to our table, only knew she was the owner because I asked, she was so amazing. We had a group of 8 and were seated in 15 minutes!! Every person loved their food. Can't say enough good things.. we'll be back! Our server was Ryan :) what a sweetie!
