    We go to the Denver Biscuit Co. every time we are in the area, some of my favorite breakfast food anywhere in the US. We got the Cinnamon roll(delightful), the biscuit sandwich with Spicy Chicken (not overly spicy), bacon and smothered half sausage gravy/mushroom gravy (to die for) and got the classic biscuits and gravy. My wife got a slice of pizza and fries, which were both outstanding. The biscuits have such a great texture, consistency and flavor. The gravy is rich but not overpowering and extremely flavorful. The ambiance is welcoming and is great for families or adults. 10/10

    Came here for a Friday morning breakfast. There was a small wait, but was seated within 10 minutes on the outside patio. It was a nice day, so it was pleasant to sit outside. Service was very fast and friendly. There were many different biscuit sandwiches from both sweet to savory which can further be customized with an an egg, made Nashville hot, made Vegan, or made with Biscuit French Toast. There's also lighter, traditional breakfast plates such as French Toast, Granola, eggs with meat, shrimp & grits, and pot pie. The biscuits each had a unique combination of ingredients that were interesting, but went well together. Food all came out within 15 minutes and the biscuits were large. Everyone enjoyed their sandwich which was very filling. I tasted them all and preferred my Franklin, but would've been happy with any of them. They were out that morning, but came back the next morning for the Giant Cinnamon Rolls, one with bacon and one plain. They were definitely giant and good. I recommend you come early as they do sell out of them. Fun place to come for a unique twist on breakfast with sweet and savory options.

    If you love biscuits in any form, this is the place for you! Our family had the French toast, strawberry shortcake, pot pie, biscuit and gravy and a biscuit sandwich. All of which were fantastic! They have a mushroom gravy for the non meat eaters and you can add vegan sausage pattie. This IS NOT A HEALTHY RESTAURANT. It IS a comfort amazing food restaurant. The wait wasn't bad but we got in right at 9, it was about that time a wait had began. Go early if you can so you can avoid the wait time.

    Biscuits were amazing ! We both had the tomahawk. Classic sausage egg and cheese but the strawberry jam was an uneggspected treat and complimented the combo perfectly

    Check all the boxes. Great food, portions and service. We did not come here to eat healthy. We enjoyed flavor packed food. The team here works hard. Here is a description of the pictures: CINNAMON ROLL AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD was ordered as an app to be shared at our table and is excellent. The Franklin- very popular and likely loved by millions. I enjoyed the triple stacked fried catfish Schooner- -let me add I would normally never order this, but so glad I did and I won the shock and awe award at our table for the highest level of jealously and the "wish I would have ordered that" comment. After that you will see the Lola.

    I love sausage biscuits and gravy. I have traveled extensively in the United States and abroad, and up until this point Pine State Biscuits in Portland was the hands-down favorite, but I can now say, in my opinion, that Denver Biscuit Company is tied for first place in this man’s opinion of the best sausage biscuits and gravy in the United States. The staff are all exceptionally welcoming and provided excellent attentive service. This location is located near downtown Denver in a great area that is both vibrant and an overall excellent atmosphere. The biscuits and gravy are absolutely amazing. The biscuits are flavorful, soft perfectly cooked. There is obvious attention to detail by folks who know what they’re doing. The sausage gravy is equally good with great flavor even a little spicy it was an absolute treat. I had them put an egg over medium on top and that plate coupled with fresh squeezed orange juice was this man’s opinion of a perfect breakfast. God bless the USA and God bless biscuits and gravy.

    Awesome! 1st time here, went because one of our family members heard about it on TV, it did not disappoint! Do be warned DBC isn't open late, but the pizza, waffle fries, wings and knots we had were FIRE! And the pizza is HUGE. Wings were breaded and tasty, the pizza was thin and crispy, loads of options for toppings. Our Old Fashions were mixed nicely as well (1 large ice cube would've been nice). Service was friendly and attentive... highly recommend if in the area, and we'll fit sure return as well✌🏽

    Breakfast was delicious. I ordered the Franklin and added an egg to it. Also got a side of Sully's fries. The fries were okay, but the biscuit was amazing. I got to get half sausage heavy and half mushroom gravy. Quick service. Didn't wait long at all for anything. Heather was knowledgeable about everything and dealt with all 50 questions I had! Definitely recommend.

    These were unequivocally THE BEST biscuits I have ever experienced in my entire life and let me just say that means a lot because I'm from the south and we don't take our biscuits lightly. We take them nothing less than perfect either buttermilk thick or rich flaky. Our family all ordered different biscuit menu items and each one was delicious! The atmosphere was laid back and cool with board games and cards available to play.

    These biscuits really hit the spot. Only had one and left feeling full. I got the Tomahawk and my partner the Lola. Both were spectacular. I don’t think you could go wrong with whatever your heart desires. These are definitely biscuits you eat with a fork and knife. Got seated really quickly and waiter was very efficient.

    Biscuits and gravy was great, had slight heat to it. They served us water in mason jars with a refill pitcher. The coffee is self serve by the front door. Bathrooms decent 2 woman stalls and it was clean. Be prepared to wait, a table for 5 took about 45 minutes on a Sunday morning. Took a little longer than usual to get our food.

    This place… AAAMAZING!! the portions were huge (highly recommend sharing the biscuits), the flavors were fantastic, and the food was cooked perfectly. The cinnamon roll is a must have is you have a group. It is about 4x the size of a normal cinnamon roll. And the service… Logan gave the best recommendations (which we followed) and kept our glasses filled. Their positive energy was contagious. Highly recommend!!

    What a wonderful experience we had at this restaurant! The food was amazing! The bacon was a hearty smoked thick bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The biscuits were so flaky, fresh and huge! The strawberry rhubarb and apple butter sauce for the biscuits had a fresh homemade taste. They make it fresh at the restaurant. There is a coffee bar where you select your cup or mug. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The location is easy to find but parking can be a bit difficult. It is wheelchair friendly. LGTBQ+ friendly as well. This is a perfect place to have breakfast, an early drink and sandwich (oh and a great thick, palm sized biscuit!) We will definitely be back!

    Man I love Denver Biscuit Co. So many good options you are certain to enjoy whatever you pick. I’ve been here a couple times and I think about going back every couple days. I would highly recommend getting a sweet and savory combo if you can because they are delicious. They also have some of the best jam I’ve ever had with a biscuit. Don’t think twice, just go!

    Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My personal favorite was the Parmesan garlic fries since I had never had fries that savory down in west texas. The staff was super friendly and attentive to our needs and the experience was overall fantastic! P.S. The biscuits are the best

    First time trying Denver Biscuit Company and it was pretty good! This place is so popular that there was a line out the door and wait time was roughly ~45min @1pm on Saturday. The biscuit sandwiches are a must try in Denver. The biscuits are soft and crumbly and it goes well with the traditional breakfast sausage and egg combo. The portions are large and it is on the heavier side, especially the franklin or the ones covered in maple syrup. My favorite was the Tomahawk since it's a nice balance between the strawberry rhubarb and the biscuit. My recommendation is to split a biscuit sandwich, get a side of something else, and try one of their cocktails.

    I have been to this place for the first time, and it was the first time I ever had biscuits. I liked it, it was a different experience for me. We ordered biscuits Gravy, biscuit pot pie, and sully's fries. I liked the biscuit pot pie the most as it has a lot of veggies in it. The gravy, biscuits, and veggies very going well together. The quantity is huge for one person. A must-try place if you want to try an iconic dish of Denver!!

  • 4/5 Lauren D. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid spot. The shrimp and grits were delicious. It was a biscuit base that was coated in grits as opposed to a large portion of grits, but the flavors were incredible. The sausage biscuits and gravy were also delicious as well, but a little cold by the time they got to us. Still delicious and very glad we stopped in. P.s. Whoever runs the bar on Monday mornings was the kindest and most attentive server. Send him our thanks!

    First time eating here and I definitely enjoyed it. The biscuits are very good. They also have beyond meat sausage to substitute for non meat eaters. There is a cinnamon roll that can feed four!

  • 4/5 Loredana D. 2 years ago on Google
    Prepare for the biscuit of your life but embrace for the 3 hour waiting time. Honestly never in my life have I waited that long to get to a restaurant, was it worth it? No, but it was our last day in town and had to try for myself what was all the fuzz about this place, if you are a local don't bother and go any weekday. About the biscuit: HUMONGOUS!! Great to share, fries had an amazing sweet and salty savory seasoning and tap beer was on point, downside: the self served coffee; stay away as its cold and tasteless, good hook for the waiting people, don't fall for the trap.

    I was told about this place from a friend and was so glad I listened. The biscuit sandwiches were SO GOOD! We got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (with a fried egg on top) and a Biscuit Shepards pie; both were phenomenal. Really appreciate the variety of beers they have on tap. And some great local hot sauce 😋
