Let's talk for a second about Denver Biscuit Co.
Angie got word from a trusted food tipster that Denver Biscuit was a place worth checking out....so naturally we were psyched to check it out.
The first thing you should know about Denver Biscuit is that it isn't easy to find if you don't know what to look for. We passed it twice before I decided that no matter if I had to hold up traffic and drive 2mph I was going to find what was being touted here....
Real Southern, Real Good
Proudly serving gourmet biscuit sandwiches on fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits with all the house-made fixin’s you could want for. From the sausage down to the apple-butter, it’s all made in-house, everyday, from scratch. No kiddin’.

After deciding it was a do or die mission we located the target on the third pass. For those who might venture in this direction the thing to realize is that you are looking for one of the identities located inside a 3 sibling location. The Atomic Cowboy and Fat Sullys Pizza are also in this same room and the signage might confuse you if you don't know that....I didn't and it did.
No matter the difficulty involved in finding it I was immediately pleased at what I saw as we approached the front door. I magnificent sight indeed of a sign saying Novo Coffee hanging in the window.....nice! Novo is by far my favorite coffee find in Denver at this point and the thought of a decent cup of coffee was a very welcomed start to this adventure.
As a quick note I think I should say Atomic Cowboy is a bar. Recently I recommend another place that has a 50/50 bar and restaurant vibe to it and unfortunately one of the members of the party did not like the bar feel of the experience. Well.....this would probably be much worse if a bar feel puts you off because here is the view from our table.
But like Snooze D.B. closes at 2:30 PM and I imagine the longer in the day you get the shift from Fat Sullys Pizza eventually gives way to The Atomic Cowboy and it become a full bar at o' dark 30. For breakfast / brunch the bar should be fairly quiet and even the few people I saw there were not drinking.....yet.
I was intrigued by Fat Sulley's but we were locked in on the idea of southern buttermilk biscuits and truth be told I've tried several times to get decent cream gravy here in Denver and I've been steadily loosing hope that I would find the flavor I was looking for and missing. I've had a lot of what I'd call 95% flour flavored gravy here and there is no sugar coating it....it's weak.:(
I'm happy to say the search is over because Angie got the biscuits and gravy.....super fantastic!
And I got the chicken biscuit sandwich topped with the in house made sausage cream gravy.
Good flavorful cream gravy with honest to goodness fresh buttermilk biscuits and a decent cup (3 cups for me) of Novo coffee.... well, add it to the list of go to breakfast spots in Denver.
I'm starting to get a real appreciation for the food culture in this town. It's taken a little time to start uncovering things, and we did have some early stumbles but there are some great spots to be found if you look. One thing for sure is that really really good breakfast and brunch places are not hard to find here. Excellent Mexican food is harder to get but breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day.....and Denver has your back on whats important! ;)
Another place I'll give a highly recommend status.
Now I'm hungry...
