Hits The Spot Diner

"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!"

Wendell's

""Denver's Best Pancakes"?I'll be the judge.Verdict is: YESSSS!My husband is a pancake connoisseur and with Wendell's boasting the title of "Best pancakes in Denver", I knew just the place to meet my mother-in-law for a breakfast date!We arrived just after 9:30 to a bustling Tennyson St filled with folks who clearly had the same idea we did! After circling the block, we snagged a spot out front to park just a few short steps away from the entrance! Parking in this area is a bit tough, but once you see a spot, snag it! Beware - the nearby businesses have parking for their customers only - which many people fail to see - so just FYI!My mother-in-law was already seated a cozy booth in the rear near the window and to my surprise, the space wasn't packed! The space itself is super unique with exposed brick, bright white walls, cozy booths and a large oak booth across from the massive community table! It exudes all the best touches creating the perfect vibe for brunch!Brunch isn't brunch without 3 different beverages, so I started my morning off with hot coffee, water and a spring cocktail - the Elderflower Spritz! Beautiful and floral and light - the perfect sip! Our server, who name escapes me now, was beyond friendly, welcoming and sat right down with us to discuss the menu, specials and everything in between! She knew her stuff, cracked jokes with us, had our coffee never see the bottom of the cup and made our entire experience enjoyable!Now onto the food! Hubs opted for the Wendell Junior - featuring Two Eggs Any Style, Seasoned Hashbrowns, Ham and subbed toast for the famous pancakes! All I can say is WOW! The pancakes were dense with flavor but fluffy and light, was sweet but wasn't TOO sweet and absolutely delicious! We are OG pancake people in that we like just butter and syrup on top and this did not disappoint! I chose to nosh on a spring special - the Brisket Poutine which hadSmoked Brisket, Seasoned Hashbrowns, Carolina Bacon Gravy, Fried Cheese Curds, Two Sunny Side Up Eggs - and YUM. I'm not a huge brisket girlie but it was crisp, light and all the flavors melded together juuuuuust right for one delicious bite!We also chose to sample the Chicken and Waffles which were oh so good. The chicken was spicy and crispy, yet sweet when mixed with the waffles - with plenty to take home!Look out Wendell - we will back!!"

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."

Fox Run Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (383) • $$

"I heard about this place somewhere, I don't know where, but it's been tagged for a while. So when things fell into place that we would be in Denver a little while back I was determined to try this joint out.It truly did not disappoint.It was so good that I have had notes since then reminding me to write this reviewCounter seating was simple, retro, and perfect. the cook was there as our server and the nicest guy you could have take your order. Coffee was awesome. The Bloody Mary was betterWe orered our food and even though I knew we wouldnt have room we got that Banana bread. I already really like banana bread, and the word was this was good. It was even better. Crazy good.I got the huevos rancheros, even though I know better, I've very picky about them But this plate was excellent. The salsa was roasted, which was awesome. It wasn't a typical rancheros, which was a good thing. Alot of love in dem eggs.There, I said it. This place doesn't needs my props, but yeah, it's really dang good."

Atelier by Radex

★★★★☆ 4.2 (162)

"4.5. Came by for dinner during Restaurant Week and overall had a lovely meal. Service was a bit rushed, but that was understandable given the big crowd. We both got the lobster ravioli for the appetizer course and it was really tasty -- just wish there were more than one ravioli! For mains, I got the salmon with caper beurre blanc and my SO got the bouillabaisse. I loved the salmon! Not fishy at all, tons of flavor, and the lentils were delicious. I didn't try his bouillabaisse (allergy), but he said it was pretty good. For dessert we went with the tiramisu and the lemon zest cheesecake. The tiramisu was amazing. The cheesecake was very non traditional and unique. We also finished about three bread baskets and the house red. Those bread baskets were a game changer and allowed us to leave feeling full. We were seated at a table near the counter and a staff member working behind the counter, on multiple occasions, was staring at us, listening to our conversation, and then interjecting. The first time it just seemed friendly, and then it got strange. It was quite uncomfortable and put a damper on the overall ambiance. Besides that, I enjoyed the setting and the charm of the restaurant!"

"If you want the best service you can get from the nicest people then you've found your breakfast spot. The food was everything you hope for from a diner. Hot, fast, not expensive and tasty. My corned beef has came out piping hot. The eggs were perfect and I loved the gravy, very peppery! Everyone who worked there checked on me at least once. Even the gentleman who was putting down ice melt outside made sure to say hi and make sure I was careful in the weather. I felt so comfortable eating alone.The booth was big and comfy too, love that."

"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."

Butcher Block Cafe

"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."

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"

Stephanie's Coffee Shop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (58)

"The name "coffee shop" is a bit misleading as they don't even have an espresso machine, and they only offer drip coffee. The place is easy to find and has plenty of parking (dirt only parking lot though).The menu had way more items than noted on their website so it was a plus. However, keep in mind that they don't focus on healthy options. The service was very attentive, and everyone was super nice and kind. Food was edible but that's about it. I got Mexican omelette, and a side of hash browns. Hash browns were very mushy and green chile was too thick and not very flavorful (despite having a nice spicy kick). They also sell some homemade jerky, jelly, etc. Overall, it's not a bad place but not something I will ever crave again."

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!"

Sunday Vinyl

★★★★☆ 4.3 (102) • $$$

"This is a great restaurant we loved all the food! The chicken was especially our favorite. Definitely the most delicious chicken I've ever had and was so juicy. The duck gougers were also really delicious and rich. The milk bread with butter was the perfect amount for two and were also so delicious right out of the oven. The steak tartare was so unique with the trout roe and is my favorite preparation of steak tartare. The risotto was really great but I've had such great risotto in the past that it wasn't the best risotto ever. The dessert was really great as well but I definitely miss the ice cream inside, the mousse was great though. The high moon drink was a great martini if you like strong martinis. The blueberry sour was also so good. We also had the mount Eden Chardonnay which was a great wine. The service was great and very welcoming. The bathrooms were also very clean. Highly recommend this great restaurant for a special occasion!"

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."

Chef Zorba's Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (352) • $$

"Definitely the best gyros in town.I've been coming here off and on for some time, and the experience is always spot on. Take out is quick and actually the same serving portion as dine in, which seems to be rare nowadays.Food is always solid, from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Gyros all day baby.Staff is pleasant and attentive, they seem to be happy working here and it shows.Burger is fine, not the best, not the worst. Wouldn't come here for the burgers though.Get the gyro breakfast platter or the sandwich.Bonus: darn good and spot on avgolemono soup, hits the spot every time and I always get a bowl no matter the time of day. Man, I want some now."

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."
