Good food, excellent service. I had the Denver omelette, and it was quite tasty. The space is a bit small, so might be hard to find a table on a busy morning. read more

What a cute diner! It has such a historic feel to it, especially with the car pictures from over the years. I'm so curious how it was when it was first built as the space has been redone over the years and the history behind it! Our server was kind! Simple menu too. My bf loved his breakfast burrito and I decided on a sausage and mushroom omelette. It wasn't bad but it was greasy and maybe that makes the whole experience like the greasy spoon. They also have meals I believe for lunch and dinner that include burgers, shakes and fries. Classic diner vibes for sure! read more

Colby Diner - Sausage and mushroom omelette (bottom), breakfast burrito (top) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everett, Washington

Decent service, cute location and GREAT food. Enjoyed watching the OG rambling around his kitchen. It seems that it's his place and he's gonna do things the way he likes. I really enjoyed this spot and will return. read more

Went here for breakfast after reading about it on Yelp, and glad I did. Tiny spot, like a hallway, but full of people. LARGE portions so bring an appetite. Best value is the pancake breakfast. Huge pancake with 2 eggs, sausage or bacon and toast. Visiting friends in Seattle when I came and found it. Most excellent !!! read more

Food was good. Very small restaurant, which was just fine. Very quaint. I believe it's a "Mom and Pop" restaurant. Friendly service. They offer many breakfast staples. I would grade their food to be average. Available street parking. read more

Colby Diner - Kids' Belgium waffle. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everett, Washington

See all

The Good Stuff: Quaint (max seating for 18 adults), classic car themed (lots of cool car photos), and the staff were polite and nice. The Not So Good Stuff: Waiter (older gentleman) needs hearing aids. I had to repeat everything he and my father-in-law said to one another because they're both half deaf. Secondly, the waitress delivered our food barehanded (no heat protection), and said, "Hot plate!" So, I immediately touched the room temperature plate, and the equally cool waffle. I'd have sent it back, but I was on a schedule. Luckily, the syrup was hot, and that helped mask the fact that the food was cold. Lastly, No Restrooms! Seriously???!!! No place to wash your hands in a restaurant ? How is that even a thing? Fortunately, I am a very prepared person, and I broke out my bottle of Purell. I will not be returning. read more

Colby Diner - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everett, Washington

This is a small classic space. Love everything about this diner. The staff is friendly and the food is great! Prices are average. My son and I went for breakfast (but missed the deadline), so we ordered a BLT and fish burger instead. Both were delicious. It was our first time here, and we were not disappointed. We will be back :) read more

We stopped by for a late breakfast on a Friday morning and were lucky enough to snag one of the three booths. Service was super friendly, and the place was clean. I ordered the pancake breakfast with bacon and over-easy eggs, , with iced tea to drink. The pancake was outstanding, the bacon was very good, and the eggs would have been perfect if one had not broken. The iced tea was terrible. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. I tried all of it and was impressed. Overall, this was a good experience. read more

Colby diner is a cute little quiet breakfast spot!. Mike makes a wonderful breakfast , we had the the eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. It was perfect! Bacon is the perfect amount of crispy and same with the hashbrowns. The place is small and holds 6 tables , but when you see Mike working in the kitchen and the love that goes into each meal, the little wait for food is not a bother! Would love to come back ! read more

Great environment, I had the Denver omelet and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was fast and polite. Happy people

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home If you blink, you might miss it--but trust me, you don't want to. Tucked away on a quiet corner, this unassuming little diner is the kind of place that reminds you why the phrase "hole-in-the-wall" is often said with affection and reverence. The food? Outstanding. Every bite tastes homemade, like someone's grandma is back in the kitchen doing it right. The French toast are fluffy, the hash browns are crispy and golden, ham was really good also. Services was great really nice lady helped us with our order and kept coming over to top of our coffee ... This place is a warm, familiar, delicious one. Highly, highly recommended. read more

HOLE IN WALL--easy to bypass narrow urban storefront on main st. (Colby). --Cruising car photos frame 3 tight booths & 3 tables. --Downtown not active--but gives flavor of Main St. COOK--elderly owner packs tight/tasty Denver omelet--shareable plate. --Even/light hash browns. Toast w/ boysenberry jam. --Other employee--petite wife serves politely w/ smile. read more

Stopped in for breakfast yesterday and before I talk about the food, I want to mention the customer service was excellent very friendly both gentlemen were very pleasant. Now to the food hubby got corned beef hash and he finished his entire breakfast which he never does stated is was great. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing and hands down one of the best I have had. The sausage patty fit the entire roll.... Can't wait to go back! read more

We had originally planned to eat brunch at a nearby cafe but it was so crowded with no seats. A quick yelp search and we found this place- decided to give it a try and WOW. Firstly it's such a cute small diner with nostalgic pictures over. Second the prices are so reasonable. Third- the food is delicious!!! It's typical diner food but executed really well. The pancakes were SO fluffy. The bacon was high quality. And the hash browns were crispy tasty. My picky AF husband who's in the industry was amazed how tasty everything was. Lastly the service was great- so friendly. It's a husband and wife duo and he's back there doing all the cooking. He's also quite elderly so I was amazed he was back there by himself doing everything. What a great surprise. Loved it- a must try if you ever visit downtown Everett! read more

We so enjoyed this charming little diner with a wonderful staff and the best pancakes ever with over easy eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. We were killing time between Dr. appointments and this was a great way to treat ourselves to something wonderful. read more

Stopped here Saturday morning after browsing at Shack Artists Garage Sale. It was within walking distance and had good Yelp reviews. The is one of the few times where Yelp failed us. The restaurants was very small; only 6 tables (3 seats four & 3 seats two). The decor was nostalgic; the walls were covered with pictures of antique cars. Cook/waitstaff appeared to be husband and wife. We ordered the Denver omelet ($17) and Colby breakfast ($9). Living up to the "diner" name, the entrees were greasy. My hash browns were overcooked. The omelet had decent flavor but smothered in cheese. I watched the waitress make chocolate milk by adding Hershey's chocolate syrup to regular milk. It was nothing special. We can still feel the food in our stomachs 3 hours afterwards. Good to try once but not to return. read more

Colby Diner - Denver omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everett, Washington

We popped in here on a trip to Funko after the Strawberry Diner had let us know they had one cook and it'd be a long time for food. Straightforward burger place. Nothing special. Patties and chicken and fish are frozen (watched them take it out of the freezer) and the fries were pretty awful. Also no kids menu. Wouldn't come back. read more

What a neat place in Everett. It is a cozy diner located in downtown. I ordered the Colby Special. The eggs were so good, and the hash browns were fried perfectly. The owner is a nice guy. The cafe inside is decorated nicely! read more

The nicest owner. The nicest customer-waiter Kevin. The most delicious Denver omelette and wheat toast with strawberry jam. Nice fresh black coffee. Cozy little space. I can't wait to be in Evered read more

Colby Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everett, Washington

The owner/cook, Mike, was originally the cook at a great little place called Carol's on Beverly Blvd...that closed several years ago, but Mike decided to start his own little place, in downtown Everett. And one of his part-time helpers, is his former boss, Carole!...Both are nice folks, and Mike serves up good portions of Diner-type food. The only drawback, is he closes up around 2pm...specializes only in breakfast/lunch. But the cozy atmosphere, and the display of classic car photos (OK--my Lincoln is up there!) is a plus, while waiting for your food. I have not been there for a couple years...it is possible that it changed hands. read more

The venue was small but cozy. The servers were excellent. The food was pretty good, not great, but basically your typical dinner.

I do have some great news! I had a sandwich for lunch there the other day. It was delicious the portions were very big so I had to share it with my friend! 5 stars read more

Tiny hole in the wall! I will confess, I had found another breakfast spot online and we walked the three blocks from the hotel in drizzling rain to find it "closed due to covid- see you next year" - news flash, it's next year. Fine, because this little gem was RIGHT NEXT DOOR. I could almost hear songs of halleluiah playing in my head as I rushed through the door out of the cold. Did I mention this place is tiny?- narrow length of dining room, with tables along each side of the wall and a counter at the back for to-go orders with the kitchen behind that. Only one table was open- the one just inside the door. Which meant, every time someone came in- I got artic frosted, lol. So, I ordered hot tea to help warm me and a biscuits and gravy breakfast. (my other half said biscuits and gravy in the Northwest??)- let me just say that B&G is known throughout the US now and yes- it was good! Robert ordered corned beef hash breakfast and he cleaned the plate. Testimony of how good it was. Speed of eating is also a thing- when it's just ok food, they talk, take their time and slowly try to eat. When it's good- it's silent shoveling into the pie hole. That's how breakfast was! Definitely a mom and pop show- Robert was admiring all the photo's from the businesses history. Our server was a kind, seasoned woman who went out of her way to be attentive to all of the tables. I ended up happy the other place wasn't open- otherwise I would've have missed out on this little gem. read more

One of the few breakfast restaurants that opens up at 6 am. This small diner located on Colby Ave is an awesome restaurant that has many regulars who come in every day. I love the vibe and feel of this place. The owner is so nice and was doing all of the serving and cooking. I think his name is Mike? Prices are really reasonable for a full breakfast. Mike cooked up my basic breakfast scramble up real fast. Good coffee which he kept topped off during the entire meal. I'll be adding this hidden gem that has been right in front of my nose for so long to my rotation of breakfast cafes to visit! read more

This is just a small diner that seats 16 people at most.. A nice small quaint diner. We walked in and were greeted by a couple of elderly sweet men who seemed to be daily greeters... Service- gentleman works very quickly- 5 stars Kept coffee and water filled Veggie omelette 5 star #1 2 egg breakfast 5 star I would definitely return here if in Everett.. loved the family like atmosphere... seemed that with the exception of us.. everyone else that came through were regulars. If you are a small party of 1-4... you have to go there for a perfect cooked to order breakfast. We didn't order pancakes but the order we saw delivered to the table behind us looked like extra large fluffy packets!!! read more

great salads, borsch. Rubin not so much. Very skimpy with the corn beef. It should've been much more corned beef on it next time I'll go to Kirkland where they give you a good, good wonderful Reuben sandwich their pies are delicious. However we had the cherry pie. read more

The Cruisin' Colby concept is fun (my husband enjoyed the vintage photos from when he used to cruise Colby). We arrived for breakfast at 10:00. The coffee came quickly and we placed our order. We had to wait a bit for the food, even though there were no other patrons. That said, we were both happy with our food when it arrived. The portions were generous and everything was well prepared and tasty. Something odd was that a group of three came in at 10:30 interested in having breakfast. They were told that the menu had just switched to lunch, so they left. There was no one else in the restaurant besides us! We were surprised that the management chose to turn these people away for breakfast and lose the revenue, when no one was clamoring to get in for lunch at 10:30! Strange. read more

Heaven on earth it's soo good. Hearty meal and fair prices. Perfect ambiance and nice employees. Easily the best diner on the west coast. read more

I'm trying a new tactic that seems to be working. The places that only do two or less meal types do it better.. you want the place that is only for breakfast or lunch or dinner only. Colby's only does breakfast and they do it quite well. Kinda like a cheers for breakfast because everyone seemed to know each other. Great scrambles too read more

Ordered burger dip and fish and chips. It was ok. Imagine your high school cafeteria came out with a fresh batch of fried stuff, that's what this is. I came for the breakfast stuff but they stop serving breakfast at 10:30am. Good atmosphere but unless you are nostalgic about cafeteria food maybe try somewhere else. read more

We recently tried Colby diner based on all the good Yelp reviews. It's a very small diner, run by a very kind and friendly couple. Very small diner - only 6 tables in total. The local news blared from the TV mounted near the entry, The floors were sticky and needed a good cleaning. Ordered the #1- Classic Breakfast ($15) and it was average. The hash browns were greasy, the eggs were small portioned and the sausage was on the verge of undercooked. read more

We found this place after finding out our original restaurant choice was closed. The diner is a very small and intimate establishment. We were greeted right away and did not have to wait for service. The waitress was incredibly friendly, the food came out fast and hot and it was delicious. The diner is only open until noon on Sundays so show up early and expect the best ! read more

The theme of this place centers around the Annual Cruzin' to Colby event in Everett, WA. Lots of old cool photos on the wall dating back to the 60's. Before it was actually and event and when it was just a bunch of HS buddies getting together. This is a place that has a dedicated crowd. The food is decent but would not be a regular place for me. The owner however is awesome and loves seeing a smile on his customer's faces when he goes and visits tables. Overall fun experience and it's definitely worth a stop if you are really hungry. Because the portions are NOT small! read more

My wife and I were finally able to stop in here for breakfast. Free parking can be found on the street. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Seating is extremely limited so I am happy that we dined here on a weekday morning. It was apparent that the patrons here are regulars. The staff knew almost everyone's names as well as their orders. The interior is fun. The stone walls are covered with pictures of classic cars. There is also a rare juke box to look at. The tables are simple and classic diner style. The bus station is located at the entrance door (odd place). There is a refrigerator with homemade baked goods, salads and sodas to purchase from. The staff members consisted of a total of two people. Our server also helped to prepare our meals. My wife ordered the Biscuits & Gravy for $10 + $0.75 up-charge for the cheese on her scrambled eggs. The sausage gravy was prepared with sliced sausage links rather than ground sausage and had a strong vinegary flavor. My wife ended up only eating her eggs and two sausage links and wasting her main course. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito for $10.50. Again, the sausage was sliced links instead of ground sausage. The hash-browns were under-cooked. Both of our meals were served on the lukewarm side. The service was friendly and welcoming; however, it is unlikely that we will choose this dining location again for our breakfast cravings. read more

I am on a quest for great biscuits and gravy. Let's just say my quest continues. I stopped in here based on 4.5 stars. The service was... desultory. Never did get a coffee refill. The biscuit was tasty but hard to cut. The gravy was runny. Maybe they ran out of flour. Not the best choice I've made recently read more

Food was good service was good small comfy atmosphere. I would go again. Had omlette and it was good

Didn't take pictures but husband had biscuits and gravy and side order hashbrowns and I had the chicken fried steak. Plus coffee!! Everything was AMAZING! Small but cozzy! We sat facing the street and it was cool to people watch. Husband even said, "I think we just found our new place to eat!" And I couldn't agree more. He bragged about taking his coworkers there for lunch since they work in the area. Can't wait to come back for lunch! Thank you for the yummmy food! Great way to start a day. read more
