"Diners in New York are a sacred thing. We have diners that have been around for decades. The beauty of the diners are menus that are multiple pages filled with everything from hamburgers to Lasagna and Spinach Pies to Lemon Meringue Pies.I came here with my wife and two friends and within a few minutes our server came over, introduced herself and took a drink order. She returned with our drinks and took our food order. It did not take long for her to come back with a very loaded tray.Soups, Open face Turkey, BLT's and Friend Chicken... This is everything that you would expect to find being eaten at the diner. Food was good, fresh and hot. Service was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive to our table needs and the mood of the diner was great. Lots of electricity in the air and people really looked like they were enjoying themselves. What more can a restaurant ask for?Kudos to the team at Sam's No 3 - Downtown."

"I had an amazing time experience eating breakfast here! This restaurant is within in walking distance from the many hotels in the area. I highly recommend walking so you can work up an appetite and after you have finished eating you can walk off the great food you will eat here.When I walked in, the hostess greeted me and sat me in secluded spot in the restaurant, I definitely like it because I was by myself since my wife was working today at the expo they have going on.You can ask whatever you would for a drink, but you must try one of their mimosas! I had the strawberry lemonade mimosa with a coffee and water.I also ordered myself the Garcia Omelette with diced potatoes. The failover of the omelette was delicious and juicy. The eggs were not dry and the cheese was melted just right.My wait er was awesome as he was the only one waiting serving tables. I also heard him giving advice to another customer for shopping. The customer service here was phenomenal! My waiter ensure all of us were taken care of in a timely fashion.He would even asked each of checking out if we wanted a coffee or water to go.The ambiance of the restaurant was chill with some reggae music playing in the background. The music wasn't too loud either, it was just right to relax and enjoy your food here.I highly recommend trying this place out if you're visiting the Denver, CO area."

"I really enjoyed my time here, the name of the place had my friend and I laughing. But overall the food was really good; and fresh, I loved how fast the food came out and how tasty everything was. The customer service was great as well, they were able to answer all of my questions and give great tips and foods to try, I loved that they remember my name throughout my entire dinner, that really made me feel good. The ambiance of this restaurant was really nice as well and gave off a comforting atmosphere and vibe.i really enjoyed my time and I will definitely be returning. The only thing I would say is, that the restroom was gross, I am not sure why they didn't clean it that day or Idk. But besides that it was a great experience"

"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."

"My new favorite brunch spot! No wonder why my friend brings everyone here as her go-to. It was shockingly empty for a Sunday morning on Broadway. There were 4 of us, and we were seated right away. They take reservations, but one wasn't needed.It's a spacious restaurant. I had the Latin Prime Rib Hash, which I couldn't take my eyes off of. Paired with a Spicy Bloody Mary, it was the perfect brunch. Our waitress wasn't very welcoming and seemed a little out of it, but maybe it wasn't her day. Would come here again anyways!"

"After a nice long day getting my steps in at Wash Park, I decided to treat myself to a lovely meal. A person had suggested that I'd try this place out since it was near by. I decided to take the suggestion and also it's been one of the places I've been wanting to try too along this strip. I rolled in about 2 pm on a Saturday and was quickly greeted as I walked in. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Place at this hour was not busy which was nice and peaceful. Jeremy the bar tender assisted me during my time here and was excellent with suggestions and input. Ambiance is casual. There's a bar in the back too. The music was definitely vibing. They were playing an interesting reggae mix of songs which I really dig. Wanted to make me dance with a cold cocktail in my hand. Lol I had Jeremy's cocktail suggestion, the Catalina wine mixer. It hit the spot and was so so refreshing. Just what I needed to cool off with. I did order two black berry lemon drop and that was super delicious aside from what I started with. I started off with the Maryland crab cakes. So tasty. It was decent size for two. The sauce for the crab cakes was not overwhelming and suited the crab cakes perfectly. The crab cakes were not dry, wet, fishy, or overcooked. I very much enjoyed them. I then ordered the classic lobster roll Connecticut style with a side of broccolini. The lobster roll was delicious with the extra side of butter. The lobster was cooked well, good flavor, and the bun was delicious and soft. The broccolini was cooked to perfection and still had a slight crisp to it. Yes, I finished the roll like I did the crab cakes. Lol Though dessert is not on their menu, Jeremy did verbalize that they do serve dessert. I figured since it was a leisurely day for me, I'll slowly take my time and eat as much as I could so it'll be worth a review. Lol So, I did get a key lime pie. It was smooth, light, the lime flavor was perfect, and of course i devoured that too. All I gotta say, is that, it helps to not have eaten anything and come hungry. I was able to fit all the food snuggly into my tummy. The food was delicious and did not disappoint. The service was excellent and Jeremy was very friendly. Definitely a place to come check out if you're in the area. I am definitely coming back again. Thanks for a wonderful 1st time experience."

"After multiple visits, a few for brunch, and another few for dinner) over the last few years, I can up this to 5 stars - the food is consistently delicious and well prepared. The service is pretty consistently good - though it sometimes feels a little slow, it's fast enough to let you meet the 2-hour street parking time limit, even with appetizers and dessert. And having their own parking lot, however small, is a plus for any popular Colorado neighborhood. Most recently, my husband got the braised short rib, which was as tender and delicious as it was when I got it about 1.5yrs ago. Our friends got the arctic char (she loved it and I was ALMOST jealous) and the prime rib (he loved this as well and it had that typical smoked crust encasing it so it did not look like your typical prime rib). I was having difficulty deciding between a few dishes and our server (in so sorry I don't recall his name) immediately recommended the dirty risotto, which was FABULOUS and immediately took me to NOLA on the first bite. We started with the calamari, which frankly I thought was average, and the gouda butternut squash dip, which I thought was lovely. And finished with "chocolate pudding," which was only a mistake in that I should have stopped eating with about 3 bites left of my risotto. We will happily continue to return."

"Have always enjoyed meals here over the years. The burgers are nicely sized, their fries are crisp and plentiful, and everything on the burger was crunchy and fresh.Cheaper beer prices and a solid rotating set of taps. Staff is friendly and attentive.Parking sucks in the area but a block or two walk isn't bad and helps burn a few calories off of the burger you just inhaled.Not the best wings out there though; they were pretty soggy but still reasonably tasty.Solid all around."

"This was my first time dining at a farm-to-table restaurant, and it was truly unforgettable! The Old Fashioned cocktails were expertly crafted, exactly how a classic Old Fashioned should taste.The steaks were perfectly cooked--juicy and tender, with a beautifully pink center for a spot-on medium. The asparagus was done just right, with a vibrant color and perfect texture.The chili served with blue cornbread as an appetizer was a delightful touch.Despite how busy the restaurant was when we visited, the service was extraordinary and top-notch.The ambiance of both the dining area and the bar was captivating.I highly recommend dining here!"

"Very nice staff! Very catering and considerate. Please note that, they will only seat you when your entire party arrives. The place is cute and peaceful. This is the perfect place to go to catchup with friends and discuss event plans. The food is ok. I really like the pancakes. They definitely provide great portions. The only thing that we noticed is that they don't have mimosa flights which. I enjoy only when I'm with others. ( Social drinker) The mimosa was full of liquor, which was a surprise lol (In a good way). I recommend eating here as the customer service is AWESOME!!! There is metered parking in front as well as more parking behind the establishment. Great job guys"

"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."

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."

"My friends and I came here to watch the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game. The TV setup was perfect for sports fans, with multiple screens showing a variety of games, which really elevated the experience.The food was average--not bad, but nothing special. Given how busy the place was, the service was decent, though understandably a bit slow.We ordered micheladas, but they didn't quite hit the mark. After talking to our waitress, she had the bartender make us another round, but they still weren't great. They definitely needed more Michelada mix to balance the flavor."

Hickory House Ribs & Steaks

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (661) • $$

"We arrived to a full house but were fortunate enough to be seated at a table for 6 which was perfect for the 6 of us. We were seated in a section where Abi was our waiter which was also fortunate as he is a master of his trade. We ordered and it felt as though it was just a few minutes before he returned to our table with all of our selections. I selected the #2 Plate which is a half rack of ribs with a side of pulled pork, a side of beans and coleslaw and French Fries. The portions were outstanding. There was enough food that 2 people could easily share it and be fully satisfied. Our table also ordered hamburgers, wings, Mac-n-cheese and chicken all of which was delicious. If you have a large party or just a couple looking for a great place to relax and have a great time and wonderful food and beverage then the Hickory House in Parker is where you want to be."

"Pet friendly patio with good breakfast burritos and chicken waffles. Servers are very friendly with pets.. we saw a number of people dine here with their pets. I really liked my burrito, the chilli verde was spicy just how I like it. My husband got the chicken waffles and although I would never typically get that, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the combination was especially with the hot chicken! The only thing I was bummed about was not having coffee or hot chocolate options. Other than that we enjoyed our breakfast here."

Urban Egg - Cherry Creek North

★★★★★ 4.6 (350) • $$

"I came to Urban Egg in Cherry Creek for the second time the day after Christmas. Parking was surprisingly easy to find around 11 am but I hate having to pay for parking to eat at a restaurant. That ended up being $4 for 2 hours. I added myself to the Yelp waitlist almost an hour beforehand and still had to wait 45 minutes for 4 people. The restaurant itself is not too big so there aren't that many tables. My daughter loved their drawing board, which I had to ask for. Not sure if they normally provide it automatically for kids or not. The server was very friendly, although my daughter's juice did not come until i asked for it almost towards the end of the meal (because the server was busy and hadn't been by the table in a while). I love that the food is organic and locally sourced but I do wonder how much of the food is actually organic. I really enjoyed the Biscuits and Gravy but it could've used more gravy. My friends ordered the Breakfast Tacos and the Chicken and the Egg dish and really enjoyed both. My daughter got her usual at any breakfast restaurant- the kids chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon. She said her meal was good but the pancakes were eggy. I will definitely come back because I know the food is consistently good."

We were not too hungry so my husband and I shared a Rueben Sandwich and we each had a beer. The Rueben was one of the best we've ever had! Very cute restaurant on a corner. Perfect to people watch!"

Crown Burgers

★★★★☆ 4 (398) • $

"They are a staple of Denver and one of the best meals for the price. If you want to truly spoil yourself, get the pastrami burger. You won't want to eat for three days because you'll be so satisfied and full, but it's absolutely worth it.For breakfast, they have incredible sandwiches and huge breakfast burritos stuffed with green chili and hashbrowns. I can only get through half but they're so good. The ambiance is a classic breakfast joint from the 70s. And the owners are so pleasant and accommodating. Give them your support!"

Urban Sombrero

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (568) • $$

"I was here for a business trip and this place looked like a good spot to watch Thursday night football that was close to my airport hotel. This place caught my eye, there were TVs playing football and basketball surrounding the bar so I grabbed a seat. The place was busy, both at the bar and tables. One of the bartenders came over and asked for my drink order and brought me a menu after I asked for one. I ordered the enchiladas plate and a glass of red wine. I wasn't expecting much from the wine at a sports bar (just wasn't in the mood for beer). I was expecting a great enchilada based on the name, it was good but just ok nothing special. The enchiladas themselves were good, but all the sides were really just filler. The rice had no flavor, lettuce was just generic shredded iceberg, and the pico was definitely mass produced elsewhere and shipped in.Right after I ordered a group of guys that seemed a little buzzed posted up at the bar next to me. Before that I had a good amount of space, but when my food came one of them kept bumping into me. I can't really blame the restaurant for the clientele that come in to watch games but I didn't stay to watch the end of the game cause I was uncomfortable, they weren't taking my polite hints that I didn't want to talk to them and they smelled. I could've moved, but after sitting at the bar watching the bartenders make drinks I wasn't inclined to order anything else. Any mixed drink had some artificial color or sugary looking ingredients. Mostly I saw them pouring beer and shots, so that meant more people getting buzzed which was not what I was in the mood to be around. If you decide to come to this restaurant, I would stick to beer for drinks. They do have a decent selection on tap. The food was fine but nothing to write home about. Drink prices were pretty cheap, so if you're looking for a good place to watch the game and not spend a lot of money on beer, this would be the spot. If you're looking for good Mexican food and cocktails there are probably better options in the area."

Park Burger - Hilltop

★★★★☆ 3.8 (415) • $$

"Park Burger has become somewhat of an institution in Denver and I can see why.There locations are great. Designs are nice. Menus are varied with something for everyone. Good service and wallet friendly prices.I went out with two friends and we all ordered the veggie burger ( it is not that synthetic crap from beyond or impossible ) which is a great handmade patty made from grains. It is a delicious alternative to beef, turkey, chicken etc.Their milkshakes are delicious and made with good stuff.Fries and tater tots are good but the seasoning was so so. I would go with plain old fried taters.Nice parking lot in the back.Complete bar with a good selection of beers on tap.Great service...thank you Bailey you were great.Highly recommended."

Benedict's Restaurant

"Such a homey restaurant! Enjoyed the Benedict way too much it has a pastrami and I switched out the potato pancakes for hash browns !My boyfriend loved the French toast! And everytime I go to brunch , I always order French toast ! The green chili omelette was also super good! It had a kick to it from the jalapeños but I loved it ! Definitely will come again! Great service and ambiance !"

"An amazing place right by Sloan's lake! They have three locations but this one is definitely my favorite! I was able to try several apps: Bavarian pretzel, squeaky cheese curds, buffalo wings and the smashed burger. Everything was delicious and the service was spot on. It's a super casual place with a sports bar vibe. I'm excited to go back soon and try some of their other items!"
