Silver Grill Cafe

I wish we had a Silver Grill Cafe at home

It is my favorite breakfast place anywhere!

We arrived a little later in the morning so there was a wait.

It took a good 45 minutes for a table to open, but it is worth the wait.

There was 5 of us, and we ordered all kind of breakfast meals. All of them fantastic.

Although it was busy, we still had great service.

If you are in Fort Collins, you must have breakfast here. It is fantastic!

I've spent much of my life searching for the perfect cinnamon roll. Some have been dry, some have been overcooked, and some have been pretty good but not perfection. The Silver Grill has perfected cinnamon rolls. They also serve a cinnamon roll french toast that is out of this world. I wish we lived closer because this is probably my favorite brunch place. The mains we've tried are also wonderful.

The food is amazing and reasonably priced. Fast and efficient service. We love this place

The quality of the food here is about on par with Denny's and is much more expensive. We had about a 40 minute wait and we are mystified about the popularity of this establishment. My scrambled eggs were cooked to rubber hardness, the chicken fried steak had around 2 ounces of oil dripping from the breading onto the plate. On my first cut all the breading slid off the top and onto the table where it continued to pool oil. My wife's chilaquiles dish was like a odd version of nachos, and she never got the toast which was supposed to accompany it. I was happy that the cost of my meal was comped by management, but I would rather have had the meal I was expecting. In fairness, I'll say the hash browns were cooked perfectly.

We went here for breakfast today. My husband ordered chicken fried steak and eggs,! I had country breakfast. Twice his came out raw and bleeding onto the plate. Mine was ok. Server was good and took my husband's meal off ticket. Restaurant was so loud my watch sent a decibel warning. I still got pecan sticky buns to go.

The food was delicious and I am picky about my breakfasts!! The service was friendly, prompt and helpful. The ambiance is night it's ver cafe/dinner style. Pleasant music and the staff noise was calm. I for sure am coming back again!

I got the corned beef Benedict. The corned beef was minced to the point it came across macerated. The texture against a English muffin felt mushy and gross and frankly it looked like a pile of dog food. The flavor was just okay, not the worst but no where near the best. There is a lot of opportunity for improvement. Keep the beef shredded vs minced toast the muffin for a better texture and drain the eggs a second longer so they are slimy. Potatoes were delicious.

Service was great, orange juice was the freshest most delicious glass I've had years. Will crave the juice and the potatoes.

Up until this most recent visit, Silver Grill was a staple breakfast and brunch restaurant for my family and I. We've enjoyed coming here since 2016 and have always prioritize visiting over other restaurants in Fort Collins. On 4/13/24, we once again visited hoping to enjoy our experience. When we arrived, we waited a while before being seated and the host, Sydney Bogle, was not accommodating to my mom'sdisability. Since my mom has a disability, she requested to sit near the main entrance to avoid having to walk far. Sydney rudely responded, "I will tell you where you can sit." We were so shocked by her response and it ruined the rest of our experience and put a damper on the rest of our trip (my family flew in to visit). I do not know what type of training the new owners are conducting but this is not what I expected to happen. Sydney not accommodating someone, especially with a disability is unacceptable, rude, and unprofessional. I hope this review makes its way back to the owners so they know who they are employing and how long time customers are being treated. Honestly, this experience was such a disappointment we sadly won't be coming back. Additionally, Sydney took a while to seat us because she was standing behind the cinnamon counter for a while before doing her job as host. We noticed she was on her phone the entire time.

Silver Grill Cafe has a variety of breakfast offerings. They are also known for their cinnamon and pecan rolls. My review is only of the Benedicts. Woods was my waiter. I want to let you know that have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. After my visit I was not able to rate these "Bennys" in my top 10.
#1 being the best and #10 not as good. I found Silver Grill Cafe not good enough to be in my top 10 but still holding on to the 4 star review.
My rating is based on 3 weights :
70% = taste
20% = presentation
10% = price

#1 - taste: They use thick sliced ham. I asked for easy poached eggs and was presented with the same. The Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch. The reason I review Eggs Benedict is because of the difference in the flavor of the Hollandaise sauce. Their hash browns were not the standard shredded type but more of a cooked potatoes. They have a bottom less hash browns.
#2 -presentation : The presentation was ok.
#3-price: $12.99 is right in line with Bennys with hash browns. Coffee for $2.98 a cup which is just above the old normal.
It is very hard to separate #1 - #10 because of the closeness of flavor. With that I wasn't able to put it in the top 10 Eggs Benedict list that I have tried across the country.

I really want to love the Silver Grill since it's a favorite of so many people. However, I have yet to be impressed. My most recent visit was a train wreck. I ordered my go-to breakfast dish, traditional eggs benedict. It was gorgeous looking and I sank my teeth into the first bite. Suddenly my mouth started to burn...misery! For some reason they had decided to heat up the hollandaise sauce with cayenne pepper? Or something of that nature that rendered the meal inedible. Certainly nothing in the description indicated that the Eggs Benny was a spicy dish. If it had this in the description, I would have ordered something else.

I had to send my dish back, because I certainly wanted a breakfast that I could eat. Basically my whole table was done eating by the time I received the redo. This time the hollandaise was normal, but they had provided maybe a teaspoon of hollandaise on each egg, the eggs were under poached so that the whites were runny (who likes that?) and there was no way I was going to send it back again. I just asked for a to-go box and reheated the eggs later. Overall, money poorly spent.

By the way, the "hash browns" are just really boring potatoes. Not crispy, not well seasoned, nothing redeeming about them.
