Let’s be real—Denver’s packed with brunch spots. But if you want the kind of brunch that doesn’t come with a waitlist app or a thimble-sized mimosa, you’re looking for Sam’s No. 3. We’ve been serving up big plates and bold flavors long before brunch was trendy, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon. Come experience the best brunch in Denver!
What Makes Our Brunch the Best?
We’re a full-service diner, not a small-plate café. That means no tiny portions, no confusing menus, and no side-eye if you order chili at 9 a.m. We do brunch the way it was meant to be—hearty, hot, and made from scratch.
You want eggs? We crack every single one fresh. Steak? We grill it to order. And don’t even get us started on the green chili—it’s kind of our thing.
The Brunch Lineup You’ll Keep Coming Back For
Let’s start with the heavy hitters. The Denver Omelet is a classic for a reason—ham, onions, bell peppers, and American cheese all folded into fluffy eggs. Feeling wild? Go for the Kitchen Sink Omelet—it’s got bacon, sausage, ham, gyro meat, veggies, cheddar, and a side of our Kickin’ Pork Green Chili. Basically, it eats like a dare.
Need something handheld? Try our Breakfast Melt—scrambled eggs, cheddar, and your choice of meat on grilled Texas toast. No sides, just straight-up delicious.
Burritos Built for Brunch Legends
Around here, breakfast burritos aren’t optional—they’re a way of life. The Spero’s Burrito is our OG: eggs and homefries wrapped up and smothered in pork green chili and melted cheddar. Want to turn it up? Order the Burrito Supreme with ham, bacon, sausage, and gyro meat. Or take on Poppa’s Big As A House, which is exactly what it sounds like—six eggs, all the meats, all the cheese, and no regrets.
Got a Sweet Tooth? We See You
Brunch without something sweet? That’s just breakfast. Our Sweet Cream Pancakes are pillowy stacks of goodness, and you can dress them up with berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips. French toast more your style? We grill thick-sliced challah until it’s golden and perfect.
And for those looking to feel a little healthy while still living their best life—try the Breakfast Banana Split with yogurt, granola, and seasonal fruit. Basically, it’s fruit salad in disguise.
Drinks That Deserve a Toast
Brunch drinks should be strong enough to feel and tasty enough to remember. Our Flip Flop Mimosa (with pineapple vodka) hits just right, and the 3 Alarm Bloody Mary comes with a kick—Sriracha, house hot sauces, and a jalapeño garnish. Whether you’re easing into the day or recovering from last night, we’ve got a glass for that.
Brunch Done Right—Every Day
We’re not here to impress influencers. We’re here to feed real people with real appetites. So whether you’re bringing the family, your besties, or just your hangover, Sam’s No. 3 is ready. The food’s hot, the portions are big, and yes—the chili is still smothered on everything.
Come grab a booth. This is the best brunch in Denver, and we’re saving you a seat.
