    Turkey sausage is pretty gross
    Alex L.

    I came here on the recommendation of others ranging from friends to people from Nextdoor. Always excited for a local-ish place. The hostesses were friendly but that's really where the experience ended. Our waitress forgot a number of things. Also the food is rather tasteless and the turkey sausage is gross for both flavor and texture. Overall I just can't get past that. One of the people in our party ordered a dish and asked for pancakes on the side. Instead she received a side of scrambled eggs and nothing else. As if that wasn't a head scratcher our waitress forgot a number of things for the table next to us too. I don't know if the diner atmosphere is for her. She was hustling but not sure for what. I will not be back nor would I recommend this to anyone else.

    Great environment, very clean and friendly staff. The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Breakfast is the best.

    The Rancher (Chicken Fried Steak)

    Very hearty meals and priced well. My wife enjoyed her steak, of course she couldn't finish it. This was one of the first meals I couldn't finish either. We saved some for our kids when we got home. Service was on point. Coffee and water was refilled promptly, waitress stopped by periodically to make sure we were good. My only concern is the space. It's pretty cramped here. The management tries to do the best they with what they have.

    The food tasted delicious with generous portion. The service was friendly and helpful. It was packed for Saturday morning around 10:30.

    Such a great breakfast spot! HUGE portions of really great food. We always get a griddle biscuit and homemade jam no matter what we order. My daughter loves the sweet toast. Husband usually gets the hillbilly and I'll get anything that has their green chili on it. If you come on a weekend plan on waiting to be seated but it's totally worth the wait for the great food and friendly service.

    This place is super cute and has great vibes. Very Homey. The employees are super nice and well, we got seated very quickly. The menu has a lot to offer, theres a good variety of mexican inspired food and diner stuff. The coffee was not great. It doesnt have a strong coffee flavor, it tastes watered down to me. Im not sure if its always like this, but I like for coffee to taste like coffee. The pancakes weren't great either. They are HUGE, and I was high expectations for them, but something was off about them. They don't really taste like pancakes, maybe it was a bit denser than I'd like. The "hash" does have a good crunchy crust. The biscuit isn't as crumbly and buttery like most biscuits. Its a bit more dense, still good, but more like bread. The breafast sausage is good! It has a strong herby flavor that I like. Overall the food was just okay, but the portions are amazing for the price and the service was really good.

    Eggs Bennie with browns and pesto tomato
    Frantsy R.

    Wow this is my new go to place. They have coffee bar, they have homemade biscuits, homemade cinnamon rolls, thick cut bacon - what else could you ask for? The eggs Bennie was wonderful - the Hollandaise is perfect amount of creamy and slight tang. The potatoes they call Browns are great not too crispy not too hard. The pancake was really good. The waitstaff is young I think more teens or just out of high school but they were nice. Will definitely return.

    Mona Lisa 2-egg omelette with home fries and griddle biscuit.
    Neva G.

    I'm a fan of Doug's Day diner in Parker, but this is my first visit to the store in Centennial. The menus are the same, with delicious breakfast and lunch items well priced. On this visit, I had the Mona Lisa two-egg omelette ($10.75), with extra crispy home fries, and one of Doug's famous huge griddle biscuits. I opted for mango preserves. There are a few differences between these two outlets. I find the parking here in Centennial is much more accessible, as the diner is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The space is a little different, too, much less industrial than the Parker store, which makes this restaurant a tad quieter. One thing that was the same was excellent service from a smiling server. Skylar was terrific. I liked paying by Apple Pay, and I love that my carry out bag is paper. Well done! 5 stars

    How are their Belgian Waffles?

    On the hunt for a non-chain spot that serves a hand breaded Chicken Fried Steak ( not frozen Sysco cuisine) with MASHED potatoes and gravy.. ideas? Thank you !

    Honestly this sounds like Black Eyed Pea food. Have you tried there? Cheddars has a decent chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes....

    Hello- does anyone know if they have Gluten free menu/options or can accommodate? Thank you in advance!?

    i believe they do. mostly vegetarian options

    Did you have anything gluten free?

    I personally did not but for breakfast they have "papas" skillets and omelets so there are options for you.

We got their Benny's Combo Plate with choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, we chose bacon and it was the thickest, perfectly cooked bacon ever! Dont even think about doing the other meat options. We also had their breakfast quesadillas (which was listed as their special and we're hoping it becomes a permanent item). I can't tell you how flawless everything came out. We also had their lattes and cappuccino, everything went so well together. We will be back to try all the other menu items for sure. Staff were efficient. Space was large, lots of convos were going but wasn't too loud and was still able to carry conversations without having to yell. Note: we went Saturday morning around 10am and had a 15/20 min wait.

We all shared the giant cinnamon roll. It was more of a cinnamon sugar biscuit than a traditional cinnamon roll, but large enough for four of us to share. It was a little dry in some parts so definitely grab a spoonful of the glaze when you put it on your plate. The overall flavor was fine and I'm really glad I shared it with friends. I heard you could get one frozen to go and you just heated up at home just as good. For my sandwich, I ordered the Lola. It's a Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich with Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Bacon, House Made Honey Butter + covered in Maple Syrup. Pro tip, have the maple syrup on the side or your hands will be very sticky when trying to eat it. The overall flavor of the biscuit, fried chicken, bacon, honey butter, and maple syrup was a really good combo! The biscuit was just a little more crumbly than I'm used to, so I struggled eating it as a whole sandwich. I would definitely get it again, but cut it up into bite-size pieces and eat it with my fork. There are a couple other really good options on the menu that I want to try so I'll definitely be back!

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.
