According to the clock it's almost lunch time, but you still want breakfast. You want what you want, and breakfast is a great start to any day. Yes, it's after 10 a.m. or maybe you crave breakfast for dinner, here's a list of top breakfast restaurants still serving the best meal of the day in the Mile High City. These restaurants happily serve breakfast until close. Syrup has the best pancakes, Lucille's has shrimp and grits and Snooze has a to-die-for Chile Verde Benny. There's something for everyone on the menu. Tell your friends to do breakfast with you at the Kitchen or take the whole family to Pete's Kitchen.
The Kitchen
1530 16th St.
Denver, CO 80202

The Kitchen is a community style seating restaurant. The concept is all about facilitating a gathering place just like Mama's kitchen. There's a location in Denver but the Kitchen's original location downtown Boulder serves brunch until 2 p.m. The housemade cornbeef hash with poached eggs is a fan favorite. The Goat Gouda Omelet is also an excellent choice.

Lucile's Creole Cafe
275 S. Logan St.
Denver, CO
(303) 282-6258
www.luciles.com

Lucile's is like going over to someone's house for breakfast. You'll feel right at home. Start with a beignet and coffee while you try to decide what you'll have for breakfast. There's a lot of heavenly goodness on Lucille's menu. Creole dishes include the Creole omelet, shrimp and grits and the Cajun style salmon served with eggs, grits and potatoes. If you love the flavor, be sure to take home a bottle of Lucile's Creole seasoning.

Snooze An AM Eatery
700 N. Colorado Blvd.
Denver, CO
(303) 736-6200
www.snoozeeatery.com

Drive past Snooze on a Saturday or Sunday morning and there is always a wait down the block. Good things are worth waiting for and Snooze is just that. The wait at this location is even a bit longer than the one in Boulder, which is the Snooze brother's very first location. The Chile Verde Benny is a big hit. It's slow-cooked pulled pork with green chile hollandaise, pico de gallo and cotija cheese topped with two poached eggs on house made corn tortillas. Pair it with a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa from the full bar. Snooze is only open for breakfast and lunch.
