This was my first time at Brief Encounter. Unfortunately, the service was rather slow, the portions were a bit small for the price, the OJ was clearly from concentrate or a bottle (I would expect fresh squeezed for $3.75), and the flavor was mediocre at best (everything needed salt). The redeeming quality of the restaurant was a very nice server who walked by and noticed my partner didnt like the food, took it off our bill unprompted, and offered a free side of bacon instead.

This place is absolutely amazing! You can feel right at home while enjoying a delicious homemade meal. The conversations you take part in and the people you meet are real and interesting and the staff is absolutely astounding in that they are kind, caring, and compassionate when it comes to their food and their costumers! I will definitely be coming here again!

Great place! Wide variety of choices, and everything is good. Friendly, attentive staff bring in lots of regular customers, who are greeted by name. The setting is simple, but clean and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable. Its a classic neighborhood diner, and one of the best of its kind, with great comfort food!

We had breakfast here, and its about what youd expect from a good diner; nothing to complain about and nothing in particular to rave about. And sometimes thats perfectly okay. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast with pancakes (quite a lot of food!) and wasnt disappointed.

So amazing we came 2 days in a row! We were in town for a wedding and happened upon this place. Portions were large but the food was delicious so we ate every last scrap. Staff was very sweet and friendly. Easy to order, would be my go to place on the weekends if we were local.

Had breakfast. We used to love this place but the food has really gone downhill. The hash browns were lousy. They must precook them and reheat them. The bacon was too salty and the coffee refills were slow coming. The eggs were small but cooked OK. The toast was the best part.

The service and atmosphere were good. The food was not anything special. The corned beef hash was not interesting, and the gravy was not well done. The biscuits were well made, and overall, despite the food not being particularly interesting, it was well cooked.

We got in at 8 am no wait, got the early bird special, 2 eggs 2 bacon strips and 2 slices of french toast. It was pretty good nothing too wild. My gf got the same thing but with crepes, also pretty good. All in all safe bet for a good breakfast.

The bacon was super crispy, eggs where on point, coffee was good, sourdough bread was average, the gravy for the biscuits watery though had decent flavor. Great all around a BREAKFAST keep you coming back for more.

Great breakfast/lunch place! The food is tasty, hot, and quick. The best Tex-Mex influenced dishes I have found in the area (I lived in Texas for 7 years & Colorado for 14. Brief Encounter has Cholula!

Very busy when we got there, so figured it must be good. I was wrong. Food was ok... I had a BLT with avocado, toast was over cooked and so was the bacon. Not what youd expect for the price you pay.

Son and fiancee went for late breakfast, 4 hours before their courthouse wedding! Told the waitress, Tana, who surprised them with coffeecake! This became their wedding cake! Such a sweet gesture!
