My wife and i ate there about a month ago and really enjoyed what we ordered. I had the pot roast and loved it. Oddly, we were the only ones in the place. You'd think being the only ones there our waitress would be eager to please and happy to serve us.......not! read more

I've been a fan for a couple years, overruling my family who don't want to go here. Friday, 5/22, may have cured me. The hostess noted there there we're no tables available (I counted five that were not cleaned), so I reluctantly Sat at the bar. I asked for water and the hostess couldn't find one clean glass, which she lamented to someone in the kitchen. His comment? Here it is exactly. "You want clean glasses? then hire a f$cking dishwasher." light Brown, blow dry looking hair, like the 70s would have been his thing. I Left, and am not going back. And that's hard to do, here in conifer. read more

New owner has really made this place great. Our food was excellent and the decor so cute !!! So the Elk sausage is totally worth the. $$. We loved this place !! read more

I got the veggie and cheese omelet which had a great selection of veggies such as peppers, onions, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. The hash browns and the sourdough toast were good. $12 for an omelet seemed pricey, but the portion was large and had enough leftover for a second meal, so not too bad read more

We've been here 3 times now. Each time the food has been great. Very reasonably priced with many entries under $10.00. I would give it at least 4 stars except that the last time we were in, the wait staff was not very attentive - another couple left w/o ordering because they were ignored so long despite only 4 or 5 tables were occupied. Its a shame because the food is really good for the price. read more

Not sure what to say over priced is why it only gets 2 stars. The rest is accurate diner food (so very mediocre), and horrible service (New York diner style). Almost cute but very painful too. Out of 3 of us 1 got what they ordered the others negotiated prices to eat what they got so we could eat together. read more

Meat lovers scramble and florentine scramble were delicious! Will, our server, was great! Will be back :)

I've only eaten breakfast here but it was great. You get big portions and it was delicious. If you're running up the mountain from Denver be sure to make time to stop here for breakfast. read more

It's nice to have a hearty breakfast place in the neighborhood and DW's is certainly that. Portions are huge and every time I've been here I leave stuffed. The food is ok nothing special but hits the spot. They use Jimmy Dean sausage products which kind of makes me question the quality. It's also pricey for what you get. If your in the mood for a hearty breakfast this place is good, not great. Ambiance is funky and fun and lots of seating. Service is great read more

Just getting out of Denver to beat traffics c and found this place. Great service even offered travel cup for coffee when we left. Huevos Rancheros excellent. Split the order and still had leftovers. Well done ladies. read more

The food was decent and the service was good but the place was kinda dirty. The floor was a little slippery and nasty. The whole place could use a good cleaning. read more

Decided to try it because my daughter was hungry for a cheeseburger and it popped up in our local search. WONDERFUL! Great food and very good service. My yankee pot roast tasted homemade! My daughter got her cheeseburger and brought half home because, really, who can eat a half-pound burger in one sitting? ;) Very reasonable prices too! Will go again soon! read more

After several breakfasts at DW's, I give them high marks. Thier breakfasts' are generous portions of delicious! We have also had exceptional service every time we have been. Not just courteous and timely, but every server has been fun! We will return often! read more

Have been here several times and have never had a bad meal. We had breakfast which was the Tamale and Eggs and it was awesome. We also order Bloody Marias (which is a Bloody Mary made with tequila instead of vodka). We were told that they didn't have any tequila, but somehow the waitress found some tequila and they turned out very good. We will be returning any time we our on our way up HWY 285. read more

This place was incredible place we stumbled upon. Gretchen was great with her service and recommendations on what to order. Hash browns, elk sausage, cinnamon rolls and breakfast sandwich were on point! Highly recommend!! read more

Went there around 7pm on a Wednesday night. There was only one other couple there, which is really too bad. On the recommendation of my father, I had the Hot Beef Sandwich. Totes good. My mom had the special, which was some sort of angus burger. She was thrilled. The only waitress, Kate, was incredibly friendly and was really great, aside from her love of Texas A&M ;) Can't wait to go back and try the breakfast special! read more

I will drive for 1 hour 10 minutes depending on if the traffic isn't bad to go have breakfast here. Super in love with the food. New England girls favorite spot! read more

Stopped several times for lunch, always found it clean with fast friendly service. Today for breakfast. Little pricey, but some of the best coffee ever at a restaurant. The topper was the bacon. Haven't had any that good in years. Extra thick and fantastic smokey flavor. Want to make it my breakfast stop on that route. read more

Breakfast was excellent. Great service! The owner stopped by to chat, so the reviews below may be out of date, The breakfast sandwich was very filling and tasty. Will ride the bike up there again in the am. read more

We stopped for a breakfast one day and were satisfied with the food and service. Daughter liked what she had, but can't remember what it was. Husband had a waffle and liked it. They had leftovers. Not a standout for us. read more

A great find! Definitely worth the drive, huge portions. Staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Had the country grub. Everything was hot and fresh. Great place! We'll be back. read more

Unbelieveable place for breakfast, recommended to me by many locals, didn't disappoint.

My favorite diner, and our go to for weekend brunch because of their awesome bloody mary's. Ask for it spicy, one of the best I have ever had. Staff is great here as well. A little expensive, but so are most good places. read more

The only place for breakfast around here! We'll be back. Healthy portions and friendly service. 3 pancakes, eggs, sausage & bacon for$12.99.

We came to this Diner because our zip line Tour guide recommended it... We were so glad we decided to follow his suggestion! The atmosphere is very 'Old Farm-ish' and is very cute. The exact place you are looking for if you want good, local food. I ordered the pancake breakfast and my boyfriend a burger, both of us were highly satisfied even though they came from two different parts of the menu. The pancakes were so light and fluffy. I substituted my sausage for hashbrowns and they came out with so! much! food!!!! My boyfriend and I both had to take some leftovers. The waitress was very nice. The cook came out to the table next to us and talked to the people about where they are from, what they were doing in Conifer, etc. which I thought was a very nice touch. If you live in Conifer and have not tried this Diner, you need to go! Anyone who comes in from out of town of state NEEDS to stop in to try this food. Will be back when we come back to Conifer! read more

We both cleaned our plates! Saw "breakfast" on the sign as we drove past which is what we were looking for. Ordered an omelette and DW's breakfast - both of which were delicious!! Owner is also a delightful conversationist which added to the local flavor - something we always enjoy when traveling. read more

Great local place for breakfast or lunch. My wife loves the "Andy's Hash Browns". Hash browns with eggs on top smothered in green chili and cheese. I like those too. This time I tried the Huevos Rancheros. Excellent Huevos and huge portion. They use pulled pork in their green chili and it added something to the dish. Friendly place. We've eaten here three times and all three times have had a good experience. read more

Stopped in today on the way back to Denver, We ordered two waters, I placed my straw in my water and I noticed a WORM yes a WORM!! The waitress finally came back and I stated is this Tequila? And I said there's a worm in my glass! She took my glass and brought me a new glass of water, NEVER said she or the business was SORRY, Manager never stopped by to say anything or say they were sorry. Lousy experience, service was below grade and food was SO SO. read more

We have been a number of times. Mostly just my daughter and myself on busy weekday morning. Honestly that's the best time to go because they have a good value breakfast special then. If you're going out for a weekend breakfast though you'd be better off trying other diners in Evergreen, Kittredge or Morrison. If your on the 285 corridor though any diner is going to be equal quality to this one. As for the food it is standard quality and choices for a diner breakfast. My daughter loves the hot dogs and eggs and having tried a bite of her's I can see why, they are tasty. It's great finger food for little ones and plenty to take home or share. The buscuits are too small if your a biscuit and gravy type. If you're ordering the usual 2 eggs, toast, etc. it's exactly what you'd expect. read more

Good food great service weird that there are three menus all in one is much better. Bathrooms cleanish and could use an update .

This is an update to my 11mo old review. I was offered an apology and a gift certificate from the owner but only just noticed the response today. In effect the owner responded promptly and I appreciate that. Not what I was looking for by way of a less than stellar review but something obviously kind put forth for our troubles. Thank you. read more

Amazing food and incredible service! It's a very welcoming place to enjoy a delicious breakfast!

Huge portions, really really friendly staff, fun atmosphere, pretty affordable. Clearly a local favorite. Food was just slightly on the bland side, which prevented a five star rating. Overall, would go back read more

My wife and I stopped here after a morning hike. I had Amy's hashbrowns with green chili. It was very tasty. My wife had the half order of biscuits and gravy. Both were very much to our liking. Staff was friendly. We are going to be coming back. read more

We were not to impressed. Two of our family members had stomach aches afterwards. Meat taked microwaved. Loved the bacon, potato soup, however. read more

My son was hungry for pancakes, but it was 2:30 in the afternoon. Most places up here stop serving breakfast long before then. The waitress, Brittany, was super helpful and, even though they close at 3, got them for him! I had a delicious pastrami sandwich that hit the spot. Good food. They also have beer and Bloody Marys for those rough mornings. We'll definitely be back! read more

Meet my girlfriends here about once a month on Sunday's. I've only had their breakfast so that's all I can comment on. You won't be disappointed! Their breakfasts are huge. I always take home at least half to enjoy for the next day. Friendly, attentive wait staff and quick turn around time. read more

Great portions and good food! They have very good weekday specials as well. Great staff on top of it all.

This place is ridiculous. I ordered the meatloaf because sometimes I just want my mommy and lo and behold when I bit into it I found that it consisted mostly of weird tasting turkey stuffing and was missing in large quantities what I was most hoping for---meat. Who puts turkey stuffing all up in their meatloaf to the complete and bitter exclusion of meat? Not my momma. I sent it back, that's how I irate I told my husband to be while I went to the bathroom and waited for him to tell the waitress. Then she brought me a tuna melt which was uneventful and in fact a little gross. I ate half because I don't like insulting waitstaff who work hard for that money, boxing the rest...only to throw it in the trash upon leaving. I'm sorry 285 Diner, but that meatloaf just wasn't right, and I don't care how few restaurants there are in freaking CONIFER, I'll be eating my own young before returning to your establishment. And my own young, you best believe, aren't made of turkey stuffing. read more

Went to dw 285 diner yesterday for breakfast. Its usually good, but this time my potatoes were dripping in grease. I put the potatoes on a napkin to soak up all the oil, then I gave the napkin to my waitress show the chef. My waitress came back and the chef said," This is a diner, what do you expect". Why does the waitress ask how my meal is then do nothing about it. I'll never go back because no one cares about the quality of food served there anymore. read more
