The food was okay. The biscuits and gravy were probably the least imaginative I have ever had. It was like flour and milk, and nothing else. But, it was cheap. The burritos was good as well. No spice to the chili, but nothing wrong with it. And it was cheap. I love places like this. ZERO frills, just cheap food. The waitress was great. My coffee and water stayed full the entire time. Glad I stopped in. read more

It has this cute little diner feel. The servers are very nice and were helpful when it came to choosing what to eat. I hadn't heard of a smothered burrito, but it was too enticing not to try it! I was craving eggs so a breakfast burrito sounded like the perfect solution and having it smothered in some delicious sauce and peppers? Yes, please! I got mine with chorizo and my hubby got his with breakfast sausage. We were both pleased. Our stomachs were quite full and we took a homemade cinnamon roll to go. I mean, you see "homemade cinnamon rolls" in bold and italics, it sounds like something you HAVE to try. Fast forward, we had the cinnamon roll two days later. That did not change the fact that when we heated it up and added that butter on top...ooh it was a delight! My hubby doesn't usually like cinnamon rolls, but he was more than happy to finish this one. read more

Butcher Block Cafe - Smothered burrito with chorizo - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A solid diner experience. Food was good, I got the breakfast burrito and everything was fresh even though I added sausage and they just put links in my burrito I thought it would be integrated throughout. Service was good and quick. I was wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if you are looking for good diner food then this is not a bad option. read more

Food is always great here. The lady's are always fast and friendly, this smell makes you hungry as you walk up to it!

This was the 3rd time I visited this little dinner. I grew up on small town dinners food, and this is a gem for sure. The grilled cheese with ham....OMG and the fries......ooo lordy. The bacon cheese burger, cottage cheese, omelets, and hashbrowns.... man, this place really hit the spot. Lovely staff, quick service, and everyone is so friendly. It's a local favorite for sure! read more

Looking for a great place for all day breakfast? Don't really like all the trendy fushion menu crap that seems to be all the rage in the metro areas... This is your place for great tasting, well priced food with good service read more

I am a lover of greasy spoons and I LOVE this greasy spoon more than most! The fantastic homemade sweet roll was the perfect starter to the lightest biscuits I have ever tasted. The white gravy with smoky sausage was very good, but the biscuits were life changing! The endless cup of coffee have me endlessing running to the rest room the rest of the day, but that's on my not my attentive firecracker of a waitress, who never let the bottom of my mug see the light of day. The prices are ridiculously low, especially for the quality and portions provided. I look forward to getting back and continuing to work my way through their menu. read more

This fantastic old school diner has been in the same family for 30 years, but goes back at least 40 years prior. Always a restaurant , the austere diner decor hasn't changed since about 1955. White counters, high ceiling and aquamarine counter stools. A big chalk board with daily specials. Wednesday, announced by the hand written sign , is "BAKED CHICKEN DAY!" But its the enormous breakfasts and giant ""blockbuster burger" that makes this blue collar Globeville business so popular. The burger is hand formed and delicious, unfortunately the boxes announcing pre-cut frozen fires were there for me to see. That's a shame because hand cut fries would take this place over the top! Next time you're zipping along I-70 jump off at Washington and head north a few blocks and seek out this little gem. read more

The ultimate score when my boyfriend brought me to this diner a few years ago!! The entire menu is delicious and cheap in price. I eat here about once a week and my boyfriend 3 to 4 times a week. The entire staff is friendly, including the cook who goes around to every table if there's a break in his day to make sure you are satisfied and to help clean tables. Now I tell everyone about it. The French toast is my favorite!! Who've they serve all weekend long and typically until 11 during the week. read more

I haven't had much here but to go omelettes but I will say they get it right every time. The food is good. The service is quick and to the point and accurate. What more can you ask for right? I'm always back so that's a given. I only did 4-stars since they are limited on the extras and don't have them which makes me sad: like spinach, avocado, asparagus etc. all the fun things for omelettes. Still good tho! read more

Best breakfast spot around. Great selection, old time service and out of this world flavors. Don't ever miss an opportunity to take advantage of this gem. read more

By far the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was all potato. No egg or cheese to be found, not to mention the complete absence of meat. For the price of almost $10, this was very disappointing. I couldn't even finish it. When I called them to complain, they told me that there was nothing they could do. read more

It's hard not to like this working class cafe. The food is all great. The service super friendly and it's like going back 30yrs when you step inside. And bonus is the prices feel like they are throwback as well. No paying for fancy decor or additions that jack up the price of the food. Love this place. read more

Came here for Saturday brunch because of the good reviews. She's not much of a looker but it offered everything we wanted in an affordable diner brunch. We started with a cinnamon roll which was underwhelming but then got our entrees. I ordered a one-egg smothered burrito. So good! The green chili really made it and I could taste the crispy bits of hash browns in there. It filled me up and is only $3.75! My husband had a half roundhouse smothered in gravy and it was the perfect amount for him. And to top it off, the staff was super friendly and attentive. Great little place! read more

You must come and eat here! Make sure to bring an appetite. They do offer smaller portions but you won't want them. This food tastes so good you will want to wear your sweat pants. Their cinnamon roll and butter is to die for. I have never had hash browns like my Grandmother used to make. I even forgot what they tasted like. They nailed it. Adrianna was our waitress. She's so friendly, she not only treated us as family, but everyone that walked in. Adrianna is also multi lingual and on many occasions would speak Spanish to any native Spanish speakers. Adrianna sure knows how to make any one feel welcome wether it is there first time or there tenth time. Everyone is so welcoming, everyone is family here. When you stop in make sure and ask her about her grand baby that's 2 years old and lives in San Antonio. Diners Drive Ins and Dives needs to come here ASAP! read more

This place is a great stopping point if you are A) out at Buy and Build, Cabinets Now or any place near I-70 and Washington and you want an economical lunch in a friendly atmosphere. I ordered the Veggie Beef soup and grilled chicken sandwich and my husband got the cheeseburger and fries. Yes, the fries are pre-cut and from a bag - but still very delicious. They are known for their Man Burger, a 1/2 pounder that somehow, appears much larger. I would liken it to the size of a frisbee golf frisbee. Good Lord, that's some meat. Plus I love spinning on the retro bar stools, blue with white leather. Go there! There are three locations and all have different hours, so check ahead. read more

I stopped by the Butcher Block on the way to National Western Stock Show today. Reminded me of back home. I ordered liver and onions and scrambled eggs bacon and a biscuit - all for under $7.00 and IT WAS GOOD!!!! If I lived closer, I'd stop by more often. read more

My daughter and I visited this last weekend we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves food was great.

WOW! This is a hidden jewel. The food is as good as my father's best home cookin'. The hash browns were home made at their best, and the chorizo eggs were perfect. The coffee just kept coming. My co-driver couldn't finish the #1, but I'm a bigger guy and I finished with the cinnamon roll which was warm with melted butter. Truck parking for 1. Paul read more

I love brunch and old school diners which was the vibe this place had. So naturally I was excited to try it. The food was not enjoyable. Didn't seem like they used any seasoning. I was starving so I could usually eat anything but not their food. I ordered half an entree that came with bacon ham sausage eggs on a bed of hash browns. The potatoes weren't seasoned at all. Which I feel ruined the entire entree. I love biscuits and gravy. I get them where ever I go. I order a side of it and it was awful. Once again they didn't season it at all. Couldn't bare to eat it. I finished most of my actual meal after adding salt and pepper. That simple step made it significantly different. I just moved close by but I don't know that I'll ever go back. read more

This place is amazing!! I came in on the Saturday before Christmas and was treated to not only an amazing breakfast but incredible service, like service that doesn't exist this day in age. On top of all that when I went to pay, Janet, my amazing host informed me that my meal was paid for by a gentleman who picked up everyone's tab in the restaurant. Guess he does it every year. They made me feel like a regular the second I walked in and by the end I was sharing pictures of the sky and clouds with Janet we had both taken. Felt like home. The negative reviews have to be from the hipster trash that is moving into the neighborhood, that's fine, I'd rather them go spend $20 on some mediocre crap at one of the joints in RiNo so I don't have to hear or see them while I enjoy a hearty breakfast in an old school diner that just doesn't exist anymore. read more

Butcher Block is delicious!!! If you haven't had a roundhouse yet, you are missing out on life!

Butcher block was unknown to me until my coworkers at denver brought me to this place. It has now become one of my favorite breakfast places. The Round House plate is one of my favorites and its so simple its plating, hash browns, eggs, breakfast sausages, cheese and all piled together and served so hot, you can tell it came right off the griddle. I love to go here and I look forward to going here again once Covid is over. Keep up the hard work Butcher Block. read more

If you are seeking a simple diner that consistently gives great service and hot yummy food, then this is the place! Butcher Block Cafe on Washington reminds me of the show Cheers-where everyone knows your name! I cannot say enough about the kind people who work here. The food is consistent with great flavor and good portions. The cinnamon rolls are the best, cooked fresh every day. One of our favorite places in Denver because it never disappoints! read more

Want a cinnamon roll and cup of coffee in a place that lets you be you and not that pretentious snob you feel you must become in that place that serves $6 cinnamon rolls? This is your place. Real people enjoying real food. I suggest the roundhouse with sausage, ham, bacon, served over hash browns with two eggs on the top. Get the whole thing covered in green chili. Call me and I will meet you down there. read more

This is a blue collar working man's kind of joint. Breakfast and lunch, hard core greasy spoon. You a man? Well try wrapping yourself around a Block-buster hamburger with cheese and ask for a cooked fresh jalapeno on the side if you have the huevos for it. Feels like home (only not mine but somebody's). This is for real here and ain't no imitation. read more

A nice little old school diner. Super cheap, which added to the allure of the place when I needed a quick lunch. Tried their fish and chips special, which was exceptional, and a burger, which was OK. The cinnamon rolls are made in house and are pretty tasty; they'll also sell you half of one if you can't handle a gigantic roll (I couldn't!). read more

I really like this place, even though it looks a bit scary from the outside, and the inside is a bit cluttered and kitschy. The cinnamon rolls are really great! The hashbrowns are good too, and the waitstaff is fabulous! Take the risk and head in! read more

We came here on a recommendation. I have never had such a horrible breakfast burrito and paid so much. Smothered egg, potato, bacon burrito $8.37. Very little green chili, burnt to a crisp bacon and very small burrito for the amount we paid. I can't believe i actually paid that. I should kick myself for doing so. Took it in the shorts. I can't say how mad I am being money is so hard to come by. Lesson learned. It will never happen again. read more

Had the Chicken Fried steak with mash and white gravy, it came with side of green beans, salad and dinner role plus a soft drink for $10.48 total. The gravy/food was a little bland. Not the best chicken fried steak I ever had. The waitress was nice and polite. It was a quick in & out. read more

Just happened to drive by with my son!! We decided to stop last minute!! I love the classic cafe feel. Everyone was so very nice, our waitress was wonderful!

For all the food we got it was only $12 for the both us. Def an affordable and great place to eat! You have to go at least once! read more
