Located inside Atomic Cowboy and one of a few well regarded restaurants within the sizable space, it was for the second half of breakfast that a booth was claimed to experience Denver Biscuit Company, the hipster hangout only a quarter filled on Tuesday morning but that faction most certainly consisting of many man-buns and bearded ‘cool-kids.’
Partially a Sports Bar with ESPN or Altitude playing prominently on flat-screens, while the soundtrack ranged from Them Crooked Vultures to Joe Walsh, it was mere minutes after seating that the menu was presented and ordering up a Cold Brew as I perused the options the service is best described as disinterested-yet-present, a few questions answered with a three part order soon arriving in two separate courses, as requested.
Boisterous without being loud, a small window expediting to-go orders a bit more rapidly than the plates served to those dining in, it was not long after perusing the unique wall art and catching up on scores that the Biscuit Cinnamon Roll arrived at the table, the layers of buttermilk a bit marred by a slathering of Cream Cheese Icing so smooth and tangy that it was more a plus than a minus, particularly as the bun was enormous – more than enough for two or three to share.
Poured another cold cup of coffee, the first refill free with Boxcar’s nutty brew notably better suited to sweets than flavors more saline, it was with good fortune that both ‘entrees’ were every bit as good as their predecessor, the question of whether Maple Syrup was pure answered affirmatively before adding it to griddled biscuits awash with vanilla notes beneath slowly melting butter, The Cordon Bleu deconstructed in order to sample half of a fluffy biscuit on its lonesome while Fried Chicken featured great moisture beneath it’s crispy coating, a drape of Tender Belly Ham and melted Cheddar gilding the proverbial lily as a housemade blend of local honey and butter pooled slowly on the plate.
