Denver Biscuit Company - Denver, CO

We were vacationing out in Denver with some family recently and thought we’d go to a breakfast staple with our little group. Denver Biscuit Company is doing some really creative things with breakfast these days and making some headlines. And since my family is originally from down south, we know our way around biscuits and gravy. (which I VERY rarely order in restaurants because no one does gravy correctly in a restaurant, especially up north) 

The particular location we went to in the Tennyson area is a combination of four businesses: DBC, Frozen Gold (ice cream), Atomic Cowboy (cocktails), and Fat Sully’s (pizza), so the menu choices are very thorough. To focus on the DBC menu, they’ve got some really fun things on the menu. Lots of biscuit sandwiches and biscuit plates, but also lots of sides and even GIANT cinnamon biscuit rolls. 

 

I went with The Franklin, after some deliberation. It’s a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese, then covered in sausage gravy and of course I got a fried egg on top, as well. 

It’s a monster, but it so good. Since “biscuit” is in the name of the business, they have clearly mastered making them. Light and fluffy but very buttery and filling. The fried chicken would have stood on its own, but it’s even better covered in bacon and cheese and gravy. The fried egg on top was an excellent choice, and well worth the upcharge. I mentioned I was picky about gravy, and this is one of the best delivery I’ve seen in a restaurant. It’s never going to be as good as my grandma’s from Alabama, but it’s leaps and bounds above what I’ve seen in so many restaurants up north. 

Everyone was pleased with their order, so it’s safe to say this place is going to have something for everyone. Really good service and really top-notch food – what else do you need?
