King's Chef Diner

"Eat here whenever I come into town. Best French toast ever. Green chile is a must. I always have the Grump also."

Pete's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (898) • $$

"A local favorite and a historical location, this spot seems like it has maintained its hole-in-a-wall stature, interior is old and worn off. Despite that the place has lots of recognition and accolades displayed on their wall. But the outdoor seating they have, looked so new and modern, best part of the restaurant.The breakfast items we tried were okay. Lemonade was decent. Pancakes were not so good. Service is okay. Dishes came out within a short time. We were happy to have checked mark this iconic spot but probably not the best experience we imagined."

The Cow An Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (691) • $$

"I'm not sure why they have such low ratings. When you walked inside, it was covered with cows. Even the bathroom had cow paintings and artwork inside. Thats why they call it the cow and eatery. You can either eat inside or the outside patio or the back closed off patio. The service is great, and they are quick and check on you frequently. When I asked for hot sauce, they brought over three from their own brand. I was impressed by all three. It felt like I was in the show hot ones on youtube, haha!!I found out that this place used to be just an ice cream shop with just outside seating, but renovated it for food and dessert with seating inside. I think that was a great idea. Food wise, I ordered for myself the seafood mac and cheese. I'm on a diet not eating fried food, so it was limited, and of course, I got myself dessert too. Their banana split was so good. I enjoyed it thoroughly even though I'm not a fan of chocolate. But their two flavors and all of the toppings together combined matched well. I would suggest getting their dessert as it's all handmade."

Doug's Day Diner - Centennial

★★★★☆ 4.1 (590) • $$

"Wow this is my new go to place. They have coffee bar, they have homemade biscuits, homemade cinnamon rolls, thick cut bacon - what else could you ask for? The eggs Bennie was wonderful - the Hollandaise is perfect amount of creamy and slight tang. The potatoes they call Browns are great not too crispy not too hard. The pancake was really good. The waitstaff is young I think more teens or just out of high school but they were nice. Will definitely return."

Butcher Block Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (465) • $

"We stopped here before heading towards Colorado Springs for the day. It wasn't full yet but was getting there. We sat at the countertop and got greeted and taken care of right away. I got the #1 breakfast that came with 2 eggs, choice of meat and choice of pancake or French toast. The food was good and a perfect portion size. The prices were cheap too. Good hole in the wall cafe."

Rosie's Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (557) • $$

"Good diner food with excellent service. Is consistently busy and they are efficient and friendly. The portions are filling and the prices reasonable I tried the breakfast burger and it was cooked to order with an egg cooked over medium, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato pickle and onion. I opted for onion rings at a slight up charges. You can order breakfast, lunch or dinner anytime. Large parking lot."

"Fantastic service and good old fashioned diner food with some modern twists for the young ones."

Wade's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (265) • $$

"Came in on a busy Saturday, was sat briefly and given a fair amount of time to look over the menu before our order was taken.The restaurant itself carries a very home-like vibe and appears to have a very loyal group of regulars. It can be loud, but not obnoxious in my opinion.The food itself was great. The biscuits and gravy were quite good. The gravy was thick enough to my liking & the biscuits were well cooked. The gravy had sausage bits that were chunky and a little big for my taste, but it still was incredible. Those who like their b&g with adequate pepper might want to add some at the table. I asked for the eggs over medium and they were actually over medium, while not being rubbery.Not pictured was three pancakes, they were about hand sized and not bad. Although the syrup was very liquidy and runny for my taste.Overall service was good, prices were fair, and food gave off a very nice hole-in-the-wall vibe."

Hits The Spot Diner

★★★★☆ 4.1 (217) • $$

"Hits The Spot can do what their name says. Hit that hungry spot!!A no fuss spot for breakfast and so affordable! Everything that you see on this review was $20 minus the tip! The food is straight up basic breakfast and tasty! No complain here! The staff are seasoned and attentive! I like looked around and noticed photos of old Hollywood stars from lone ago. Also, this diner is frequented by regulars. Love it!My special pancake was fluffy. My eggs came as requested ; over medium. My sausage although nothing to boast about in size was what sausage should be! seasoned well!So if you're looking for a bfast spot while you're in the west side do not hesitate to stop by and try this folks!"

Black Bear Diner - Aurora

★★★★☆ 3.7 (263) • $$

"Everything here was good upon my visit. Service was quick and friendly. Food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The hostess was even able to get me seated right away on a busy Sunday morning brunch crowd. Interesting side note is that they print their menus on what looks like an old fashioned newspaper which also had trivia of when and where the Black Bear restaurant chain comes from. Good service all around."

Javier's Diner

★★★★☆ 3.9 (236) • $

"Really good Mexican breakfast. Their salsa is spicy but very flavorful. I liked their rice and beans a lot too. Our server was nice and efficient."

McCoy's Restaurant

The Original

★★★★☆ 3.9 (190) • $$

"Not a bad place to grab brunch! They have a ton of items on the menu and a good chunk of it is pretty unique. Had two visits but can't remember the first visit well but I can remember the second one as clear as day because it happened today! The deviled eggs were refreshing appetizer and my frittata was tasty and not bland at all! The server was optimistic and had lots of energy. I'm curious about their dinner menu!"

King's Chef Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (156) • $$

"I personally really like this place. Had the breakfast burrito with half gravy and half green chillin on top. Was pretty dang good. And the hash browns are always cooked well here. Service was good. It's like a get in and have some breakfast and get out type of place. Great breakfast spot for sure."

W Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (165) • $$

"Fair warning, most of these businesses during the summer are going to be run by the local teenagers. I appreciate them working hard, but there is definitely room for improvement. I feel like there needs to be an adult supervising these students or someone who can guide them in running the restaurant more efficiently.We walked in and ended up being 3rd on the list (awesome!) and they stated it would only be about a 10min wait. Great. We went outside as the entryway is extremely small and can get crowded quickly. We started seeing other groups being seated that arrived after us. Sometimes they'll seat larger groups first, so I didn't think anything of it. Then the host came out with the pad of names and she was on the second page. That's when I knew something was off. I went to talk with her and she went back to the first page and EVERY name was crossed off,but mine. She apologized and we were seated next. We sat down and we were asked 3x by 3 different people whether or not we want something other than water. We continued to see this pattern for EVERY table. VERY inefficient and a waste of time when you have a line out the door. We were in a rush to get back to Denver so we only wanted our meal and to get out of there. I had a slice of french toast and hashbrowns ($3+$5) and my husband ordered the western omelette ($14). No extra drinks, no substitutions. The french toast was exactly what I needed and the hashbrown hit the spot. The omelette was what we expected. The check comes and it's hand written with our order with no prices, but a simple total of $27.05. Umm... 5+3+14 =22. Tax was about 9%, so at most it should be about $24-25. Not sure what they're charging us extra for. My husband just wanted to get out of this establishment, so I did not confront them about the random charge. On top of that, they do charge you the credit card fee (4%). I don't mind fees, but please DISCLOSE what I am paying for. In the end, our tab was $28.13 excluding tip. I personally was not pleased with all these hidden fees. There are a few other diners in town and I will be going to those restaurants over this one in the future."

Apple Ridge Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (196)

"I was in the area at 5:30 AM looking for a breakfast place that was already open to get a breakfast burrito and Apple Ridge Cafe was there for me in the early hours. This is a local spot for sure. If you go in the morning you will get to hear all the local guys talking about everything that is going on. They have their regular booths, come in and give the poor waitress a hard time. She can dish it back for sure, but it make for some pretty comical entertainment while you are waiting for breakfast.Apple Ridge Cafe offered a big breakfast burrito. It is stuffed with potatoes and eggs then smothered in a New Mexican style green chile that was excellent. I could just enjoy a bowl of that chili with some eggs and would be very happy. The potatoes are good, but there are a lot of them in the burrito so you walk out full and satisfiedWhen I return I want to try the pregnant burrito. I wish I would have caught this on the menu before I ordered. It is a burrito that is stuffed with a chile relleno inside. Must I say more?There was only one waitress working while I was there, but she had that whole place under control. The knows what the regulars want for their breakfast and she makes sure that food comes out of the kitchen in a hurry. Fun place for a breakfast if you get a chance."

Louis' Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (149) • $

"Louis' Diner is my kind of breakfast spot. I would go here over the upscale brunch places around town any day of the week.My group of 4 arrived a little before 9 am on a Saturday morning, and we were able to sit down immediately. By the time we left around 10, the restaurant was nearly full, but still had no wait time for smaller groups. The coffee was hot, strong, and fresh. The chicken fried steak skillet was excellent. Over medium eggs were spot on. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They even seemed to know some of the customers by name. That's the best part of a place like this.Save yourself the 90-minute wait at other brunch places and come to Louis' Diner for an excellent breakfast/brunch experience."

Block & Bottle

★★★★☆ 3.9 (140) • $$

"Excellent dinner this evening with our children and grandchildren. Host and server very attentive and made us few very welcome.We all had one of their specialty hamburgers. The ground beef is absolutely top quality and tastes amazing. Order your burger from rare to well done. We had medium rare and it was perfect!"

Davies' Chuck Wagon Diner

★★★★☆ 3.7 (149)

"One of my wife's and my early dates was when we went out to what was then a backwoods area--free from the city lights of Denver near Chief Hosa. We laid out a blanket and watched the Perseid meteor shower. So breathtakingly beautiful. Afterwards we decided we were hungry and so once the sun was up we decided to go to Davies' Chuck Wagon Diner for an early breakfast. Had the Chuck Wagon Breakfast of steak, eggs, hash browns and toast, that's still on the menu these 20 years later. Cost I think around $4.95 or so back then. Today the price has risen to $9.95, but it's still a great deal. And what's the best thing about that 46 ton railroad car diner that was shipped out to Denver I think back in the 50s or early 60s and is now on the National Historic Registry? Well they're still serving the same Chuck Wagon Breakfast.We were driving up to the mountains yesterday and happened to be going by the diner when we both looked over at each other and without saying a word reached out squeezing each other's hands and smiled. Turned into the diner parking lot, and went in and ordered the same meals. So lemme ask you this . . . how could I give anything less than a 5 star rating to Davies'?Sign me,David "Lucky in love" M"

Munchies

★★★★☆ 3.7 (56) • $$

"We went to Munchies drag bingo yesterday and had a great time! For a Wednesday night the restaurant seemed rather busy. Staff was great, drinks were strong, and we will definitely be back again for bingo night! Will bring friends next time too."

Thai Smile Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (30) • $$

"We were across the street playing miniature golf and we're looking for a close place for lunch. Thai Smile was right across the street and looked good so we gave it a try. From the moment we walked in the service was wonderful. We were the only ones dining in, but they were doing a lot of take out. Our drinks were constantly being refilled and they were great with the kids. We ordered a bunch of different things and ate family style so we could try them all. We got the steamed potstickers and the gyoza both were delicious! For the entrees we got the lunch special Pad Thai and Cashew Chicken, we also ordered the kids chicken fried rice. Both were absolutely delicious! If we lived in the area we would definitely be back. Unfortunately we are visiting from out of town and will have to wait until we come back to Colorado to visit family!"
