Kiera S.

This place was packed, and the staff was very efficient and kind. The portions here are HUGE!! A small omelette meal is enough to easily feed two people. All of us at the table were impressed with our food and the seasonal pineapple habanero jam was delicious. The inside was also very nice and felt like a fun diner

Watching and getting an idea of what to order next time.
Vince L.

Wow. What a find! So much energy! I am so glad that I got a counter seat. Got to order AND watch the process! I was given a menu and water quickly. I was watching what was being prepared and it all looked so good! I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with choices! Not a bad thing! I did order and chatted with a customer who is sitting next to me. They are regulars and also had wonderful suggestions for food! Unless you can eat 2-3 meals at once plan to come back! The place was hopping, the service was awesome, and the food was great. If you are looking for a breakfast spot this is the place!

Bacon Bleu Cheeseburger with Messy Chips!
Christian C.

This is my experience at the restaurant... Absolutely amazing experience and food! I had the ham Benedict and my husband had the bacon bleu cheeseburger with messy chips. The hostess and waitress were incredible! Inside was clean and smelled great, like a true diner. So food 5/5, service 5/5 and overall 5/5. This is a must do in Loveland!

Love this place! I prefer this location way more than the one in north Loveland. Their shredded potatoes are the best in town

The Basic Breakfast - SO much food. Pictures doesn't do it justice but the biggest griddle biscuits and sausage patties I've ever seen!

Traveling through Loveland & our local go-to spot was closed. We've eaten at Doug's Day Diner in Fort Collins many times & always enjoyed it so we decided to give the Loveland location a shot. Glad we did. The menu is pretty simple. Breakfast and brunch items (some unique) with a few burgers and salads. However, the taste is anything but simple. Really DELICIOUS food in good sized portions.. Our family of four got basic breakfast platters, biscuits & gravy and the southern sweet toast plate. Every meal was tasty and not a scrap of food was left over. The food is well cooked and served fresh at a good price. On top of that, we came in about 50 minutes before closing & still received 5 star, over-the-top friendly service from both waitresses the entire time. We will definitely be back when we travel through Loveland again!

Huevos Rancheros

Great experience on the patio. We all enjoyed our food. The huevos rancheros was delicious, loved how the ingredients were artfully presented, and could be separated or combined. the sauce complimented the dish. We'll be back!

This is my kind of diner. Busy, crowded, loud, with a friendly and helpful staff, an amazing menu with BIG portions. I could even say TOO BIG, but that's a good thing. Came here a few times while working in Loveland. Every time a different order, and every time a great experience. Thanks Doug's Day Diner for the experience in Loveland!

Mona omelette
Kirk J.

This was really good diner food. Huge portions. I had the Papas which was a base of hasnrowns and cheese and I got the asada and green chile. It had just a little heat and good flavor. Girlfriend got the Mona Omelette that had a lot of good thick cut bacon in it and a ton of chiles. It also came with a giant biscuit that was nice and crusty but also had a slightly sweet flavor. Highly recommend it if you just want really solid diner food with a big and varied menu.

The Basic

I'm from the southern US, and we do breakfast right. So when I walked into Doug's, I was a bit suspicious. Where are the grizzled veterans chain smoking in the corner? It's...clean? No grumpy server? This can't be a greasy spoon. Oh, but it is! Well, it's a delicious spoon. Food was cooked perfectly, service was great, and you got a lot of food for the price. The turkey green chili sausage was amazing, but the star of the show was the blueberry pancake. Holy cow. Doug's puts my meemaw to shame (sorry Meemaw)! Loveland, you have a treasure here. We really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Sweet Combo
Luis E.

The pancakes are huge! I was torn between ham and bacon as my side dish, but I'm glad I chose the ham. It was incredibly juicy and surprisingly delicious. The hotcakes were tastefully fluffy, and the chocolate chips were a delightful addition.

This place is in the heart of downtown Loveland and it's super freaking cute. It's definitely a diner setting and I love it. Our waitress and the staff were phenomenal couldn't ask for better service and smiles galore. The food was just absolutely fabulous. We ordered the funnel cake bacon and let me tell you it was perfect. The batter wasn't over fried nor chewy it was perfect consistency and then it parried perfectly w the syrup they brought. Then my meal i ordered I honestly couldn't tell You what I ordered cause I ordered whatever plate was walking by because it looked so freaking good. Basically what it was, was a crap ton shredded fresh potatoes smothered some sort of sauce then some of the most tender flavored beef tips I've ever had at a diner in my life followed by some over medium eggs and some jalapeños that were just the right spicyness when I tell you this plate was perfect and the best comfort food I meant it! I wish I knew the name of it! Come on Yelp help me out and correct me! Anyways this place is a must because the service, the food the location and the spot is just PERFECT if you don't try it YOURE missing out!

B&G, Sweet Toast

"Massive portions" is an accurate statement! Biscuits split, fried on the griddle, topped with sausage gravy and are huge and delicious. The sweet toast (French toast) was a huge portion and was also yummy. Our server was funny and attentive, & we got our food fast. Will recommend to my work guys who travel to Loveland.

Excellent Food and Service in a Very Busy Estes Park Favorite…read more Executive Summary: A fantastic dinner with fresh, well-executed dishes, strong cocktails, and outstanding service. Easily a 5-star experience and highly recommended. We booked a 6:00 p.m. Sunday reservation through Resy and were seated immediately. The restaurant was very busy, which felt like a good sign. One thing to note: parking is VERY difficult. You may need to park kitty-corner at the grocery store lot and walk across. We started with the Beets & Bibb salad, which was outstanding--fresh, thinly sliced crunchy beets, crisp dried chickpeas for texture, grapes for sweetness, and a honey vinaigrette with just enough acidity to balance everything. The cornbread arrived warm and freshly baked with black garlic butter. It was light rather than dense and very enjoyable. For an entrée, the Carnivore was excellent. Both the elk and petite filet had a beautiful sear and were cooked perfectly to temperature, accompanied by a flavorful reduction and seared broccolini. Our second entrée was the trout with a side petite filet. The fish was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. By the end of dinner we were far too full to try the desserts, although they looked tempting. We also had a couple of cocktails--strong, flavorful pours. Our server, Ian, was friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the evening. Excellent service despite how busy the restaurant was. Overall, Bird & Jim delivered great food, great drinks, and great service. Highly recommended--5 stars.

First off, we love how the restaurant is a couple blocks off the main streets of downtown because that quiet, peaceful vibe carries into the restaurant. It has such a laid back atmosphere - perfect for our Saturday night date night. Our server, Sonia, was amazing! So friendly and fun - very attentive without being overwhelming. She was so helpful and answered all our questions about the menu and restaurant. We decided to share the nachos and the prime rib stroganoff and it was the perfect combo! The nachos were cheesy and flavorful and the stroganoff (which was thoughtfully split for us into two separate bowls) was so creamy and yummy with lots of prime rib. Per our server's suggestion, we finished our meal with the Sopapilla Cheesecake... OMG! Not too much cheesecake, a flaky pastry bottom and a crispy, cinnamon-y top layer. SO GOOD. Everything combined (they also had a DJ playing a really cool house mix) made for a fantastic first impression. We look forward to visiting again and again!

Found Door 222 on Yelp while traveling from DC to Fort Collins for work. Since we had to fly into…read moreDenver before driving to Fort Collins, my two coworkers and I wanted to find a good dinner spot before getting on the road, and the reviews led us here. This was a find worth making! We arrived without reservations, so I appreciated that they were able to accommodate all three of us. Once seated, we waited about five minutes for our server to greet us. The restaurant was filling up, so that felt reasonable. There was some background noise, but we could comfortably hear each other and enjoy our conversation without raising our voices. Definitely a plus when you're catching up over dinner. Now, let's talk about that short rib grilled cheese. Divine. This is the kind of sandwich that makes you happy you didn't order something else. And the fries served alongside it? Chef's kiss! They deserved their own moment. One of my coworkers ordered a short rib dish as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was the first one with a clean plate and made sure we knew how good it was. I think that speaks for itself! One small tip: if you're particular about the type of glass your cocktail comes in, ask before ordering. One person in our party wasn't a fan of the glass hers arrived in. Simply a personal preference, but worth asking about if that matters to you. The experience gave me the farm-to-table feel I enjoy, and Door 222 turned out to be a lovely stop before our drive to Fort Collins. Would I return? Heck yes. That short rib grilled cheese alone has earned a repeat visit when I'm back in the area!

Our server was friendly and attentive. For food, we got a variety of appetizers and entrees (photos attached). Everyone enjoyed their food for the most part, however some plates were much cooler than others. I understand the logistical difficulty of preparing 7 entrees simultaneously so they come out at the same time; but my short rib meal was lukewarm at best. Flavor-wise however, no complaints. The menu is pretty diverse, with options for every palate. Good for groups and families. Parking is street only and first come, first serve. Not a bad spot - I'd recommend them if someone was in the area and looking for a good meal.

When we arrived at the complex and pulled into the massive parking lot area, there were about 5 or 6 children riding their bicycles in the lot by the ice cream shop and Farmhouse restaurant. I don't know if they lived in the area or what but it was odd and so we had to park kind of instead of right by the restaurant to avoid hitting them. When two of us walked in, we got there 15 minutes early and were hoping to enjoy a cocktail at the bar before being seated at the table. The bar only has 4 seats and it was full. The host responded, "the cocktail will taste the same at your table as it would at the bar", which came off as kind of arrogant and dismissive. Anyway, we were seated right away upstairs as our table was ready ahead of time. Our table included a bench seat against a brick wall with a few small pillows and 5 chairs. The seating against the wall was quite uncomfortable. When our entire party arrived and we ordered cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I'm giving 3-stars for food because it was hit or miss. Half our group liked their meal and the other half did not. We all agreed the best thing we had from the menu was the tiramisu dessert and I really enjoyed the small garden salad, which was actually a generous portion and I liked the radish included! I also want to say thank you to our waitress for not kicking us out when the restaurant closed, she let us enjoy our time together without making us feel rushed.
