This is a good local spot. We were there at 8am on a Saturday and it was definitely starting to fill up. When we left around 9:30 there was a wait for a table. I liked the vibe, and the ambiance fits the theme well. They know who they are and who they are serving. Lots of team Jerseys from surrounding schools up on the walls. Waitstaff all wearing ugly Christmas sweaters. Good times. Let's talk about the food: To be fair there were 8 of us eating breakfast. I was an executive chef for nearly two decades and have run breakfast service for a family run business many times. It's fast paced and can be challenging. There were things that were great and things that I didn't care for. I like their menu options, very Colorado and again fits their theme and customer base very well. Knowing your place in the world is so overlooked in hospitality and makes a huge difference regarding your success. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with carne asada and my wife ordered pancakes with ham and eggs. The quesadilla was good, however there green chilies had big bits of tough skin and I found myself doing minor table side surgery to get them out, the carne was very good. I ordered hash browns, my portion was considerably smaller than everyone else's and were unfortunately cold when I got them. Bummer...I also ordered a side of green salsa and never received it. The flavor profile was good and the food was well seasoned and was made to order. Props there. My wife's eggs were cooked correctly, the ham steak was not over cooked and dry. Good news there, and their pancakes are great and have a nice sweetness to them. The syrup however needs some attention. I won't go so far as to say they water it down because I don't know that to be true, what I will say is that it was very loose and was disappointing in contrast to how good the pancake was. These few minor ( but critical) aspects are why this a 3 star review and not a 4 or potentially a 5. The good news is that these are all easy fixes. Overall I liked this place and would return. The food is good, it's a local spot and I'm glad they are part of our community. It's very possible that the next time we go the few components that were missing could be fixed and our experience could be completely different. If that's the case I will update this review. Thanks for feeding us. read more

This location is better than the other locations. I do wish they had a few more sweet breakfast items but overall everything tastes really good! I had the "healthy" sandwich which I would definitely order again. Sometimes vegetarian sandwiches are underwhelming but this had good flavor and a generous amount of filling. The wheat berry bread they use for sandwiches is so good! My chai tea hit the spot and was the perfect size. My mom got the spicy reuban which she liked, I tried her fries and thought they were spot on! Overall everything was tasty and I will definitely go back. read more

Service was great. Food was awesome at a fair price. Bacon is great. Wife had the omelette and was impressed. Very family oriented.

I will give this place another chance to see how their lunch food is. But breakfast was not a high rating. I'm so sad as I had heard good things. Perhaps an off day? VERY slow service. Forgetful waitress. Which add up to not enough staff like every place these days. Sadly the coffee didn't arrive until our food did and I had to remind her for that or it wouldn't have arrived at all. Cinnamon roll was an appetizer and it was exciting to LOOK at because of the size and fresh frosting. However an utter disappointment because it was cold and rather dry. Food came and my Mona Lisa omelette was made with piece of mushroom onion and green peppers that were made for fajitas I think, so huge, in an unappetizing overly firm egg. There were three tomatoes on the side and pesto squirted on top. By squirted I mean VERY unappetizing looking and I won't go into what it reminded me of but think green and squirted. I think my taste buds and sight are directly linked. The biscuit however was beautiful. It was grilled perfectly and hot. I asked out waitress for butter and jam. This sadly didn't come either and when she offered the check I asked again. However by then the biscuit was cold and tough. My husband ordered over medium eggs and they were easy...very easy. ... I feel for restaurants these days! I feel for the honest hard working wait staff who probably get a lot of cranky clientele because there are NOT enough workers! But food quality shouldn't go down itself if possible. Doug's I'll try lunch and see how it goes sometime. I badly want independent restaurants to succeed but please up your game. The food was really not that great. read more

Food is always good here and the service was extremely attentive. Even the customers are friendly here!

Great food and service! The diner has an excellent vibe and staff. The portion sizes were in line with cost and was very fresh.

Food is not very good. A Restrant that is a breakfast/ lunch spot really needs to have a good flavor and this isn't it. I will not go back. Biscuit was very hard and no flavor to the gravy. Terrible for breakfast. read more

My husband and I enjoy having breakfast At Doug Diner. The food is always served promptly and hot. The servers are outstanding including the hostess staff. It's really hard to pick a favorite but I do order the pancakes regularly, bacon and eggs poached perfectly medium. Love the bacon! If you are around the area, I highly recommend you stop in. The weekends are really busy. read more

My husband and I visited Doug's Diner for breakfast. It was our first visit. We were greeted and seated immediately. We both liked the menu selection. It was difficult to choose one. My husband selected the Sweet Combo with pancakes and turkey green chile sausage. He REALLY enjoyed it. I selected the Tasty Omelette (small) with an English muffin and home fries. It was delicious! The omelette was STUFFED with bacon, bell pepper, guacamole, tomatoes and cheese. I can't imagine how big the regular size is. The fries were just the way I like them (a little crispy). Karsyn was our server. She was very nice, attentive and right there when we needed a coffee refill. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. We are both looking forward to visiting again to try some other dishes. You will really enjoy your visit, especially if Karsyn is your server. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos. read more

Be VERY careful where you park at Doug's Diner. My car was towed from an area that had no markings that Doug's Diner patrons were not allowed to park there. $405 later, I got my car out of impound. An *incredibly* expensive brunch. read more

I had the chorizo breakfast burrito and my wife had the Mona Lisa omelette and split a cinnamon roll. The breakfast burrito had good flavor and was pretty large. The omelette was really good, recommend getting the sour cream on the side as it gets a little soggy if you don't eat it quickly. The Cinnamon Roll was decent, however I felt the icing/topping lacked flavor. They do practice CDC guidelines and recommend calling ahead or making reservations. read more

Nice big comfort food for breakfast or lunch. The staff is very nice. Parking isn't the best but you can find a spot nearby.

Service is always on point!!! Prefer the Bison Burger but my wife prefers the pancakes and the portions are amazing for the price!!! Great local shop feel with an unmatched energy. read more

If you are concerned about Covid do not go here. Customers are not wearing masks and one waitress is not. See photo-her mask as around her chin the entire time. A lot of elderly clientele and the disregard for their safety is evident. read more

I ate here this morning. I was nearly cajoled to eat because I don't eat much. I somehow beat the rush which was lucky because leaving the restaurant an almost throng of customers appeared sporadically after we/I had finished our meals. I ordered huevos rancheros. But I chose the red Chile sauce. This I've never tried. Especially when I had never been or even heard of the place. The red sauce was good and the meal delicious. The service was exact not continuous visits from the server. The same with the coffee warmer-on time. The side tortilla was a good thick home style tortilla. The walls are adorned with Buckley Field (BANGB) photos on one side, and other military memorabilia throughout the restaurant. I recommend any former ANG member stop by if only for the wall displays. I didn't try any other meal. Price was good for the meal. I recommend read more

Love this place- got right in as my husband and I didn't mind the counter- food was excellent. All homemade, from the hot cakes to the peach jam for the AMAZING English muffins. Love supporting local business and the delicious food made supporting them a no-brainer. I had the sweet treat and my husband had the Mexican omelet special and we were both satisfied. The amount of food is more than comparable for the price and they have lattes and chais! Come here and support this amazing local breakfast place! read more

Good golly miss molly. Worth the wait. Food and latte was aweeesoooomeeeee!!! Tried the pavo omelette (pesto and turkey and whatever else) and it was phenomenal. The English muffin and jam was hands down the best I ever had... I assume homemade jam. Super flavorful. The latte was delish. And my mom got the carne asada hash brown bowl thing and holy cow.... YUM!! read more

I have ate here twice, once dining in before the latest COVID restrictions and in both circumstances, the experience was very positive. Both times were for breakfast and I felt their was a good choice of breakfast options with a mix of traditional as well as original items. I had the Cowboys Pappas (Skillet) and it was very tasty. The green chilies is amazing. Just the right about of "bite" but not overpowering and flavorful. Coffee is OK, not great and would prefer they served fresh cream but not a deal breaker. The pick up order was ready when they said and accurate. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will give it a 3rd try and may bump up to 5 star. read more

Just average service . Food was good but soup spilled on plate made burger soggy . Enthusiasm of person in charge was a shrug of shoulders. Not a great fan . read more

Enjoyed lunch at Doug's today. Very good. Very generous sandwiches and very good service. We enjoyed our lunch. The only suggestion I have to the diner is can someone tighten the toilet seat in the ladies? Almost dumped on the floor. Would not stay in place. Then please clean the trash can exterior. It is horrible. read more

4 stars not because it was super delicious, but because they did everything right. Not exceptional food or anything. I had the quesadilla w/ carna asada. My husband had the Monte Cristo. Mine was fine. He said his was good, but disappointed they didn't have raspberry jam. read more

Do not order the steak and eggs. Flat, thin and gamey. Hash browns not much better and omelette mediocre at best. Dream water not coffee. Disappointing breakfast experience and embarrassing since I brought out of town friends. read more

I was in town for a conference, and I walked by this diner. I saw it was packed, and talking with the others waiting, they told me this was the best brunch in this area. The best part was I was served by Courtney. She was amazing. She took great care of me, and she had great recommendations. You can tell she's a pro. She deserves a raise, and you can tell that there are many people that come in just for her. I would come back just because of the amazing service I received from her. Thank you Courtney! read more

Popped in for Sunday late breakfast place was super busy. It was very disappointing today as we've eaten here in the past and liked it a lot. Today our food was warm not hot. Flavors were mid at best. Service very slow but apologetic. I ordered the Lil Billy and wasn't thrilled. Wife had the huevos Socorro. They didn't even put the chorizo on her dish. Our waitress was the highlight since they messed up she gave us cappuccino on the house. Will come again and maybe adjust my review. read more

Why is it that no one knows how to make a proper egg over medium?? A true chef knows this is how fried eggs should be cooked, but every time I try and ask for my eggs over medium, they come out over easy. This place was no different. The food overall wasn't bad. My husband got the biscuits and gravy, which lacked real meat. I got the huevos rancheros which were good, with the exception of my eggs being cooked wrong. Nothing to write home about, but may come back as the restaurant grows. read more

Food and service here is decent, but what I wanted to say is that if you are looking for parking, please park either on a side street, hotel parking(if there is any) or at the bank if it's a weekend. My husband and I parked across the street where yummy pho and those stores are and we got towed within 10 min. The owner of August Moon owns that parking lot and will call if he sees anyone using his lot and not eating at their establishment. There are signs posted around that towing is a possibility and that's why leaving a warning for anyone that reads this post. I don't want anyone else getting towed while they're just trying to enjoy their day out. read more

Ate lunch at the newly opened Doug's Dinner today around 12:30 pm. The parking was scarse and we had to drive around to find the one open spot. We perused the menu for a while as there were so many things that sounded great. My wife and I both decided on burgers. Both were cooked medium as we wanted. We did have a mixup of toppings on my wife's burger but the staff quickly addressed and solved the issue. They were out of their homemade chips so we opted for fries. The fries were good and far better than the typical frozen fries.  We are very much looking forward to heading back for breakfast. read more

I'm a fan of this place! Came here with two friends for brunch a few weeks ago. There was a forty minute wait quoted but I believe we waited maybe half of that. I got the Lil Billy which I think was basic things like bacon, a biscuit and gravy and an egg or two. It was great, breakfast food never fails. BUT!!! They don't have alcohol lol what is a brunch without some champagne! You know we immediately went to a bar after to make up for it haaaaa read more

First and foremost they don't serve any booze and I walked into this building as the most hungover person on the planet so I genuinely take that as a murder attempt on my life. A mimosa was the only thing that could've saved me today and they didn't have a drop of liquor. I felt like I was in Utah. Got the huevos rancheros and is was good, nothing special. Ordered my eggs over medium and the yolk was a little too runny for my taste. My friend got a side of sausage and that turned me around and spanked me it was so good and I usually hate patties I'm a link girl all the way but it tucked me in and rocked me to sleep read more
