Three Little Griddles

After sleeping maybe an hour the night before in the airport we found this place and it hit the spot! My mom had the traditional egg Benedict and I had the specialty eggs Benedict. Food was amazing and the service was also very attentive. I would totally go here again!

Our favorite «go to» breakfast place! You’ve gotta try dessert first with the ebelskivers! We like the chocolate best but they’re all DELISH! For breakfast I usually go with the AWESOME biscuits and gravy, or dynamite eggs Benedict myself, but the savory griddle cakes look fantastic too! Service can fluctuate when the owner/​family isn’t around, but it’s usually pretty good. You may have to wait 30 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday but it’s usually less. So don’t be a baby and just have a seat. It’s worth the wait!

They estimated a 40 min wait, but we were seated within 20. Hard-​working, efficient staff. They have an excellent system in which you can tell where you are in line from your smart phone. It enabled us to walk around with our kids and not worry about whether or not we’d miss our names being called.
Whenever they say, «If you want a cinnamon roll, you might want to order it before we run out»? That’s normally a good sign. And yes, it was a delicious sign.
The Upstate Frittata was greatness. Hit the spot.
PS — If you have a kid, ask if they have a penny for the candy machine on the way out.

Our first visit was to the Englewood restaurant. It was FANTASTIC, and we WILL be back! Ashtian was our server and took excellent care of our large party. She interacted with the kids which we appreciated (many servers ignore kids). Everything we had was outstanding. .. the ebelskivers (fudge & «sopapillas»), breakfast burrito, cheese omelette, quiche, griddle cakes, frittata, corned pork hash, & the veggie griddle cake (about the size of a dinner plate!) was especially amazing! We were fortunate that we had no wait which will spoil us the next time we visit. We really love that this restaurant is a Mom & Pop, and we enjoyed meeting the owners who are at this location.
We highly recommend this restaurant! Treat yourself to Three Little Griddles, either location, and you will be glad you did!

Made this my last stop in Colorado before heading East. Upon arrival, I was told that the wait would be 45min, but my friend raved about this mom and pop breakfast joint so I decided to stay. If you’ve never been to Aurora — know that it’s corporate city, mom and pop anythings are very very scarce. 20min into my wait a table opened up, woohoo!
So everything is made from scratch here, Amazing! I had the chorizo jalapeño eggs Benedict — which I MUST add was off menu but the chef offered to make me something special since both items I’d requested were sold out for the day, which is awesome and great customer service. The Benedict was amazing.

food is great, service is fast. I won’t go anywhere else to have breakfast! l have never had a bad experience at this restaurant! I highly recommend this place

This is the spot for breakfast in Aurora Colorado. I had to wait on a Monday morning to get in.

This is my third time here. Every time I’ve come, they’ve been very busy, sometimes with a line waiting at the door. I came for breakfast on a Tuesday at 10:30 am. The only place open was the small bar, which was fine. I was promptly greeted at ordered my breakfast of coffee and pancakes with a side of bacon.
Coffee service was prompt. Breakfast also came out quickly. Strangely though, I had to get the attention of the server to ask for some butter with my pancakes. The gentleman next to me did too. Obviously he is a regular because he stated, «you always have to ask for butter, I told them to change that.» Guess they haven’t. The pancakes were well prepared otherwise. Tall and fluffy. Too much food really. Now for the bacon. Well, the three pieces I received were crispy but were also barely warm. I tried a piece right after the waitress brought it and it was barely above room temperature. This is whey the restaurant gets 4 stars and not 5. If you are going to pre-​cook your bacon, figure out a way to get it to the customer while it is HOT. Please. Service was prompt and courteous. I will say, their little coffee bar, cash register, sink, dirty dishes area is far too small for 3 wait staff to maneuver around in. One waitress accidentally tipped over and broke a bottle of water just trying to leave. Not really her fault. I will come back.

Everthing is great!!! Family operated… NICEST people!!! Nothing else in the area comes close. Skip the chain restaurants, eat some amazing food and support this wonderful family business! :)

My wife has been hounding me about coming here for a long time and I finally gave in. I will admit I was dead wrong about coming sooner. This place is very good and the service is excellent. I got the Upstate Frittata minus the broccoli and it was excellent. The pepperoni gave it an awesome flavor. My wife and I shared an order of biscuits and gravy. This is the way to go since it is a huge portion. I can’t say it’s the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had, that honor belongs to my momma, but they were pretty dang good. The gravy was by far the best I have had in Colorado. The best part of the meal though was the eggs Benedict. It was amazing!!! Overall a great breakfast place and we will definitely return.

This place is just amazing. Their green chili is out of this world. I also learned a new word. Ebelskivers… or something like that… its a stuffed pancake ball. Sounds weird… but get some! The breakfast burrito is the best I’ve ever had. Everything else is great too.
GO HERE! But… expect a wait.

Great breakfast stop, and can see why they have opened a second location by IKEA. First time to stop in with the family, and service was friendly from initial entry up until we left.
They are kid friendly with high chairs, crayons, and coloring place mats. Portions were a good size and was enough to share. Had the pork hash that was well prepared and tasty.
Recommend coming in and enjoying for yourself, and great to help a local business.

Hands down one of the best breakfast places I have ever had. It is definitely worth the wait! Came here around 10AM on a Sunday. The wait was about 40 – 45 minutes for a party of 2 with a baby. And we all know babies don’t do well waiting, so thank goodness there is an Albertson’s next door to stall time. They don’t have much space inside to wait in the restaurant anyways.
Atmosphere: It’s a small restaurant, but enough space between tables so you don’t feel like you’re trapped. Cute simple decorations to make it feel homey. Nice thing is you can hold a conversation and not feel like you’re shouting. Super kid friendly. They have lots of high chairs and enough space to bring in the carseat for super young infants. (:
Service: We have had nothing, but wonderful service from all the workers since we walked in. We loved that they had the option of waiting in the restaurant or they could text us when our table was ready. Our server was very pleasant and even sat at the table with us while taking our order so we were eye to eye and was able to feel like we were having a regular conversation.
Food: GRIDDLECAKE and SPECIALTY EGGS BENEDICT (oh and if you love sweets, their cinnamon roll).
How have I never heard or had a griddle cake before. It’s like the best thing that can happen to breakfast. Pancake, hash browns, eggs, cheese, breakfast meats all in one large pancake looking thing!!! It definitely could not be better! So fluffy, airy, melt in your mouth, deliciousness in each and every bite. Can I have one right now? Seriously. It will hit every breakfast craving you have. They have the options of three meats, vegetarian, or their specialty (I can’t recall right now).
Who doesn’t love eggs benedict? It’s a traditional breakfast classic. But add in some chorizo and jalopenos. You got yourself a spicy bomb breakfast. Especially if you love spicy foods. Their house potatoes. Delicious with the runny yolk.
Cinnamon roll: Drenched in their original frosting or cream cheese. We went with the original and it definitely did not disappoint. It’s really heavy with the sugar… so I would definitely eat this in a couple portions. There is definitely fluff and richness in each sweet bite.
Too bad they aren’t open past 2. I can definitely eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

We had breakfast here on a late Thursday morning. It’s great to find another independent restaurant near home! The servers were attentive and helpful with the menu. All of the food tasted very fresh and the Eggs Benedict was one of the best I have had. It is my go-​to at Snooze and Three Little Griddles edged out Snooze! My hubs had an omelet and had no complaints. It had plenty of fillings, the eggs tasted very fresh, and was just the right amount of fluffy.
They serve Daz Bog coffee which is a big draw for both of us – they had Mocha Java when we visited and it was the best coffee we’ve had in a restaurant in a while.
Our server was super sweet and attentive – it was a great dining experience!

After suffering through quite a bit of vegan biscuits and gravy trips for months, it was finally time to return to the real deal and Three Little Griddles did not disappoint. A giant of plate of massive biscuits covered in scrumptious gravy hit the spot.
I’d give it 4*. It was good, filling and enjoyable. What gives this establishment 5* is that they use Dazbog coffee! You need to understand that coffee is an afterthought in most diners and barely drinkable, but TLG uses my favorite chain (local!) as their coffee provider. Brilliance given that most of my Unilocal is about coffee.
So I absolutely recommend this place. They have some of the finest biscuits and gravy that I have ever had as well as some very decent coffee to go along with it. Can’t ask for much more!

Can I just say YUM? After being sick for a week both my husband and I needed out of the house. Instead of going to our old stand by diner for breakfast we decided to see what else was around. When we got to Three Little Griddles the line was out the door.
This place is small, but they did a great job with the name. We put our names down, they said it’d be about 25 minutes and they would text us when our table was ready. We chose to get a trip to the hardware store out of the way while wating.
The servers were fast and friendly. My husband got the Biscuits and Gravy and I got the Classic Eggs Benedict. We shared an order of the Little Dutch stuffed pancakes. We got the fudge.
Everything was amazing, the portions are big so we will likely share next time. We each took home half our meals. My husband said the biscuits and gravy were just the right amount of creamy with a touch of heat. My eggs Benedict was perfection, and their home fries are amazing, all I can assume is they are finished in butter!
Can’t wait to try this place again!

My boyfriend and I are always looking to try new breakfast places (especially with good reviews!) — Three Griddles did not disappoint.
We came in around 1030 on a Saturday, I know what you’re thinking, peak breakfast time! This restaurant is a small outlet within the Albertsons shopping center. If I were to guess, it seats maybe 60 people but don’t quote me. First, the waiting area is a bench that fits maybe 6, so better to send just one person in your party inside to get on the list otherwise you are about to get friendly with those already dining.
We walked in and it was hectic near the door but we were committed. Someone approached us immediately and after seating two other parties we were able to get on the list. She said about 25 minutes– great! We stroll over to Albertsons and grab some things we needed and after not even 15 minutes we received a text that our table was ready. Woohoo!
We were seated at the back and the hostess explained the specials. Shortly after we were greeted by our awesome waitress whom brought us water and offered additional drinks.
Time to order! Our food was in front of us before we knew it! Probably in less than 8 minutes (all cooked to order). I ordered one of the specials «Chunky Monkey» three (good sized!) griddle cakes with chocolate chips and banana slices cooked in and a side of syrup. Also a side of cheesy grits (why not, right?!). My guy ordered eggs benedict (cant go wrong) it is prepared the traditional way and included home fries. He said that the hollandaise was heavenly and the english muffin they used was fluffy, tangy goodness. We both had leftovers and probably could have shared one dish.
Usually when we go out for breakfast on the weekend, we prepare ourselves for long wait lists, slow service and long cook times. Not here! We were in and out in an hour.
We will be back for the great priced, delicious food, friendly staff and open atmosphere!

The food saves this place. It has so much opportunity! It’s the only restaurant that shows up as a breakfast joint out in Southlands, sending an ample market its way I imagine. It’s easy to get to, and the real estate has the potential to be very inviting and warm… Instead, it’s a concrete unloved floor. Wood benches. Minimalistic chairs. Industrial feel. Overcompensating red to attempt to add some flare. My feet are cold and I actually asked that they turn up the heat. Cold in temperature and ambiance.
The servers were quite sweet, and the burrito was fantastic. A little redesign and I think they’ve got something to talk about.

I’m back! Came to Aurora to visit my older brother and had to stop by this place again! This place is freaking awesome! As you can tell from my reviews, I’m a huge biscuits and gravy guy and this place does it right. Best that I have ever tasted without a doubt! We stopped by on Friday ¹²⁄₁₁ around 11:00. The food and service was all top notch! Excellent! The owner stopped by to chat with us, cause she probably recognized my older brother, cause he eats there a lot! It was awesome to hear they are opening up another location. Every time I come to visit my brother, I’ll make sure to stop by, cause this place is doing it right. Outstanding food and wonderful people. I highly recommend this establishment.
We ordered of course biscuits and gravy topped with an egg and the Elvis Toast. Delicious!

Number one thing, their plates are HUGE. I could barely eat half of my griddle cake!
They have the normal brunch dishes like eggs benedict, breakfast burrito, griddle cakes (pancakes), etc etc. I chose the «veggie griddle cake» b/​c it looked unique! Instead of sweet toppings, this one is made of vegetables mixed into the batter with a lot of cheesiness on top. It’s topped with sour cream, salsa, and avocado. and everything just works so well together. It’s super savory and delicious! I would definitely order this again. it’s definitely shareable between 2 people too.
My friend got the special griddle for the season. it was the apple one. it was way too sweet. it was like eating dessert for breakfast. I would pass on that if you don’t like things too sweet.
They serve Dazbog coffee and different juices!
I’m definitely coming back!!!
