The Three Keys to a Dynamic Denver Brunch: Biscuits, Booze, and Vibes

Brunch is more than just combining breakfast and lunch; it’s a culinary experience. As much about the atmosphere and company as it is about the food, brunch offers friends and family a chance to catch up and enjoy their meal.

Atomic Cowboy, known for its award-winning biscuits, is one of the most popular brunch spots in the state. To do brunch right, consider the following:

Butter Up Your Tastebuds with Buttery Biscuits

Denver Biscuit Company, part of Atomic Cowboy, was voted “Best Breakfast in Denver” in 2024 by readers of Westword. A key part of its appeal is the variety. We serve biscuit sandwiches piled with everything from fried chicken and sausage to ham, bacon, and pork. We also offer biscuit platters that pair our biscuits with classic favorites like gravy, shrimp and grits, French toast, granola bowls. If you want something more traditional go for our Three-Run Double and enjoy eggs,a protein and a buttermilk biscuit with house-made jam and honey butter.  If you’re craving something to truly satisfy your sweet tooth, try our strawberry shortcake. 

Delight in Day Drinking

One of the biggest appeals of brunch is the chance to relax at the start of the day, rather than waiting until it's late and you’re too tired and stressed to enjoy a drink. At Atomic Cowboy, we serve many brunch-inspired cocktails, including our Breakfast Sangria, Breakfast of Champions (bacon whiskey, maple, Kahula, and aromatic bitters), Strawberry Rhubarb Mule, and several signature Bloody Marys. 

If day drinking isn’t your thing, our mocktails can satisfy your cravings without the risk of a hangover. Our non-alcoholic options include the Cucumber Cooler, Strawberry Basil Spritzer, and peach lemonade. 

Meld Into Mile High Mornings

Denver and nearby cities are popular spots for brunch. With high walkability scores that let people reach restaurants on foot instead of worrying about parking, plenty of opportunities for people watching, and seasonal choices—ranging from summer brunches on warm patios to Bronco game brunches in the fall—it’s easy for customers to enjoy their meal.  

Vibe also matters. Colorado’s relaxed atmosphere makes it one of the top states for brunch. This is because brunch is meant to be a time for leisure, laughter, and relaxation—a meal that can last an hour or so on a Saturday morning or a gathering that takes up half of Sunday. After all, time flies when you’re eating biscuits. 

Atomic Cowboy is a lively blend of ideas, experiences, food, drinks, late nights, early mornings, north, and south. We offer both dine-in and delivery options. Contact us today to learn more about our menu, events, and awards.
