    Biscuits and Homemade Country Gravy*
    Amanda J.

    Down to earth classic diner establishment. Warm and friendly servers, all the diner type food you could want for a very reasonable price. I got the turkey melt and it came with a huge pile of fries, my hubs got biscuits and gravy with coffee. This place is super busy on the weekends but moves pretty quick, we only waited about 15 minutes.

    Very simple but pleasant blueberry "Blueberry or Strawberry Pancakes" notice the real butter! Yay

    Went here randomly with my partner and we got a slice of peach pie, country fried steak dinner plate, and a breakfast biscuits and gravy plate and one blueberry pancake on the side. The breakfast has browns were chunks of real potato slices cooked nicely and tasted fresh and wonderful. The egg was undercooked but I ate around the soft part and didn't ask for it to be fixed or anything. The biscuits were so light and fluffy and hot and wonderful. My grandma gave me a love for wonderful biscuits and these were very nice. They're the square kind if that matters. To me all that matters is they're fresh, tender and delicious. The sausage patty was nicely flavored and I enjoyed my breakfast plate a lot. The blueberry pancake was a little overcooked and chewy but still nice and came with real butter and two types of syrup, regular and blueberry. I was happy with it despite its texture. The steak plate was really nice. The fries my partner ordered were from a whole potato and clearly a homemade style of fries that are very hard to find these days. They're my favorite kind ever though and these were stunning after some salt. The country fried steak was also obviously hand battered and tasted great. The peach pie was nice and homemade. It didn't taste of wholly fresh peaches but wasn't canned either, which I don't care for. I loved it and would order it again but next time I'll see if they have chocolate! I saw a club sandwich that looked like the classic version and can't wait to come back and try it. Or their burgers! Come stop by! The food is so wonderful. Service was busy but helpful and fine. The waitress has been there for ages and is so kind to her regulars and welcomed us strangers in too. Lots of booths to sit at and lots of options on the menu. 10/10 highly recommend for a diner. And they're open til 8pm Mon-Saturday and open Sunday but closed earlier. Can't wait to return even though they're not in my neighborhood. Worth the drive up for a wonderful diner experience with truly homemade food made with love and care.

    Stopped in for the first time for breakfast this morning between biz meetings. This place is the bomb! Great local family cafe atmosphere. My Denver Omelette w/ a side of green chili was fresh, hot and tasty! The service from Vickie was amazing and I will definitely be back! So much to choose from on the menu.

    Cinamon Roll

    I've driven by this place for sometime now, always amazed at the full parking lot. I know why now. Apple Ridge Cafe serves up some really great meals., with friendly service and hometown smiles. We were seated immediately at one of the booths. I mentioned to the server that we were new to the area and I quickly learned that Apple Ridge Cafe has been open for 40+ years, that the owner comes in early every morning to cut the steaks and prep for the day. She explained the specials and a few of the things they were known for. The Cinamon bun was a bit doughy for my taste, however, the hot icing was delicious - it was clear why that item is a standout. Breakfast of eggs cooked to order, and country sausage hit the spot. Hash browned potatoes were crispy, and a large portion. Sourdough, among other choices, toast. Yumm! Server told me that so far Apple Ridge has not raised prices, even with higher egg costs. This was a perfect breakfast. Great comfort food, exceptional service, comfortable seating -- just an exceptional diner. I'm going back for lunch.

    This is really a great local restaurant I can't say enough about the good service and the variety of food and especially their early hours today I had the killariano enchilada beef enchilada plate and I must say that the Rihanna is definitely homemade marvelous crispy and filled with gobs of cheese next time I will order two of them but it on the enchilada I had the beef enchilada and yeah not so hot. Connie was my waitress today and as usual very very friendly and professional and efficient

    I was in the area and wanted something to eat. Found this little cafe and it was packed! It's a very old quaint diner. I notice it does cater to the older crowd. Service was great. Quick and simple. It's a small dining room so it was nice to get my cup filled up as needed without asking. Definitely appreciate the staff. The busser was so nice flipping tables and making sure the seats were clean and wiped down. Food was good. It was a simple cafe breakfast that I can't rave about too much. However, the cinnamon roll was very good. Probably the second best I have had in Colorado. It beats that Johnstown roll that people talk about. Bacon was cooked but not over cooked. Just the right bite. The serving size it huge! Be ready for a carb load after you finish your proteins. Overall, if I'm in the area I'd come back for the cinnamon roll. It was super good and filling:

    Matzatlan Burrito
    Traci M.

    We just had our first visit to Apple Ridge Cafe on a Tuesday morning and were impressed by the food, service and the atmosphere. This truly feels like a neighborhood cafe where everyone is friendly and many customers must return frequently. The coffee was very good - not flat diner coffee. Service was quick and coffee refills kept coming even though they were very busy. I had a Matzatlan Burrito and it was loaded with fresh avocado and green chile sauce. This was a very enjoyable breakfast and we would definitely come again.

    Fully remodeled Long- time diner in Wheat Ridge

    I drive by this long time diner (42 years per owner Roy Jones) every morning during the week in Wheat Ridge. I noticed that they had closed for a remodel in mid February. After 5 weeks, they reopened this week with a new look. The outside and inside brick walls switched from tan to grey. I saw new brighter lights throughout. New floors, new booths, and my server said the kitchen was completely gutted and replaced with all new equipment. Their menu however stayed the same with some increased prices. My server, Vicky said the owner Roy Jones paid everyone a few hundred dollars a week to keep his staff during the remodel. Vicky greeted long-time customers who came in and remembered their favorites. I got a large OJ with the Mazatlan Burrito. The breakfast burrito was stuffed with bacon, avocado and scrambled eggs, then covered with cheese and green chili. It was served with a large portion of hot hash browns. They accept debit/credit cards and provide a discount for each time if you pay cash.

    Happened to be in the area and was looking for a place for breakfast. Picked this place based on…read morethe reviews (even though there weren't many, but it's also a newer place) and I didn't realize it was a "Mexican Breakfast/Brunch" place until I pulled in. Man, how fortunate am I that I picked it! The Mexican skillet with chorizo, potatoes, green chili... Wow! Honestly, the best breakfast skillet that I've ever had! Eggs were cooked just the way I wanted, everything was delicious and the thing I appreciated most- I didn't even have to think about grabbing the hot sauce! Everything had a good kick to it, spicy and fantastic! I can't wait to come back!

    We spied Louis #3 completely by accident and decided to stop in. First, I'm sad that the previous…read moreIndian restaurant closed but glad to see another place taking up residence. Louis #3 feels very homey and reminded me of the place where you'd see working class folks show up on the regular. Staff were super friendly, checked on us often and were really nice. We arrived around 9 am on Mother's Day, of all days, and sat at their bar rather than wait on a booth. Lots of older folks dining with some younger families coming in, as we left. Despite being busy, our food came out pretty quickly and was tasty. I ordered the Eggs Benny and he had chicken fried steak and eggs combo. My Eggs Benny was tasty, drenched in their homemade hollandaise and my only disappointment was the English muffin was soggy with so much sauce. His chicken friend steak was really good and well seasoned. We'll def be back, when we're feeling the need for some comfort food ;)

With lots of folks thinking the same thing, we slipped in and grabbed a buzzer to keep us company for the 15 minute wait. Just a short 10 minutes later, we sat down at a four top and soon had four massive mason jars of water sliding across the table to us. I had been eying their Cucumber and Fire cocktail while waiting and it didn't disappoint. The refreshing cucumber balanced the jalapeño really well. Yum. The parents split a fabulous looking French Dip and rated it well (4 outta 5 stars). Their massive fans and we're looking for a bit more flavor in the horseradish dip for a perfect score. Not bad. Me? I ordered the Melted Monk sandwich with tomato bisque. I nixed the kettle chips. Absolute fan of the bisque. I could have had a gallon of it - really flavorful with great mouth feel. So good. I wasn't a fan of the Melted Monk sandwich, but also wasn't sure how the green apple slices would pair with the caramelized onions and raclette cheese, on cranberry walnut bread. Sounded interesting. Not bad, but wouldn't order it again. That aside, I'm still a fan. Teller's has always been a great choice and I'll return to some of my favorites next time. Never hurts to try something new! My guy raved about his Ahi Burger, and man, it was so much food. His tots were so good! I'm likely ordering this next time. Also - I almost forgot! The oysters were amazing - under fresh, if you can believe it. Teller's gets 6 deliveries a week of seafood. It totally shows. Yum.
