I have heard so many great things about this place. Take my opinion lightly because I know several people who love to eat here. I got the chicken fried steak smothered in green chili. My guest got the same with their country gravy. My green chili was so bland. It was like flavorless. My guest said the same thing about her country gravy. It was odd. Probably one of the worst green chili dishes I have ever had. Los Dos, Los Arcos, Great Scott's, the Platte Bar and Grill is green chili I am used to. Village inn in all seriousness even has better green chili than this place. Sorry for being so negative. Like I said it was packed inside and I know people love their food. I have zero desire to ever eat there again. read more

Lisa's is a hole in the wall place, which usually means great food. I tried it to mix up my breakfast routine (usually go to Red Rooster). When i arrived, staff was friendly. Ordered my usual chicken fried steak, eggs over easy. CFS was good, eggs well prepared, good potatoes. But the gravy was lacking. I had to add salt to it, which I seldom use. It was as like they just made a rue with milk instead of gravy. It was flavorless. I couldn't believe it. Good gravy is so easy to make. I ate it since I paid for it, but was so disappointed. I wanted it to be good so much. Even considered a second trip, but if the other reviews say this issue has been happening before I went there. It's such an easy problem to fix. read more

We both got the biscuits and gravy, I got the A breakfast. Do note that they don't do lunch until after 11, if you aren't very notable like me I completely missed it. One side of the menu is breakfast only! The gravy was thick, an uncomfortable uncooked thick. I wouldn't personally recommend anything with the gravy, though the biscuit and the sausage were great. You could definitely tell the gravy was either reheated, or uncooked just because of how thick it was. My boyfriend ended up actually getting food poisoning from it, I bake consistently and eat a lot of uncooked flour/ rue so it didn't do a lot to me, but definitely did make me sick. End result, really wouldn't recommend. Haven't tried anything else but the two biscuits and gravies, so that's where the hope comes with the first star. Hopefully everything else is good. The service was great though, the lady was patient with me and our food came quickly (but that's where my possibly reheated gravy theory comes in) was it was too soon because it was reheated, and everything else was quickly made? It's very cute and cozy in there, if you want to look for a home like area. read more

Basic, down home cooking at its finest. We came at 9am on a Saturday, and it was busy but not slammed. The server gave us an option of two tables, and we got started. I was hoping for some Asian flair based on some of the decor, but no such luck on the menu. However, everything we had was very good. I got the spuds burrito, which was basically hashbrowns in a tortilla with cheese, Swiss cheese on top and green chile smothered. The green chile half and half was spicy- I might go mild next time. It was good, but my husbands biscuits and gravy were significantly better. The biscuit was yeasty and tasted homemade, the white gravy was flavorful, with sausage patties underneath. I would order that again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely be back now that we have found another good local place for breakfast. read more

If you want the most basic diner breakfast then this is your spot. The service was fine but the food was lacking.

I. From Los Angeles came to Denver to visit stop by lisas and had breakfast the service was good and the food was very good

First time to Lisa's today. It was delicious. I had the chicken fried steak and my husband had the hamburger steak and eggs. He just kept saying how good it was. Everyone was friendly and the staff all helped each other. I love small places like this. We will definitely be back. They made up feel welcome. read more

Lisa's Place - Chicken fried steak and gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Breakfast at Lisa's Place was a true delight! It's proof that simple, well-crafted dishes can be incredibly satisfying--and that the charm of a tucked-away spot often outshines the big-name eateries. read more

we really appreciate the hole in the wall vibe! they have always been friendly and the food is just want we want from a breakfast spot.

This is the perfect little mom and pop breakfast spot. It can be a little busy on the weekends. It's tiny but the service is great and the food reminds me of weekends at my Granny's. If you don't mind a short wait, I'd definitely stop by! read more

Today was the first time I tried this place and it was great! When you open the door, you get hit with the baking aroma. Food, service and ambiance were superb! read more

My company was holding training classes today. We had ordered from Lisa's Place, everyone was very pleased with their meal.

Great food and service. Asked for hashbrowns xtra crispy and they were the perfect. I will be returning of5en

Do not order the mild green chile with your eggs, it was tasteless. It literally tasted like water.

We used to go there every weekend until one weekend we were standing outside in a line they close at one and they turned everyone away at 11:40 and said they would not be taking any more customers with no explanation. Just a yell out the door. We haven't been back since!! There are plenty of other options that appreciate our business! read more

This place is disgusting I went at breakfast and the bacon was dry and no flavor. The waffle was cold and it was really crowded in such a small space. Nothing good about this place and Denny's is gross too but way better than this place and it's just up the street and IHOP is near by. Nothing great about the coffee and just wasn't for me. read more

First time here. Not sure how after this many years in the area I missed this place. A must try! One of my friends has food allergies and the cook was very accommendating and came up with order just for her. Above and beyond the call of duty. Will definity be going back. read more

Cozy country yummy cooking with exceptional service. Old times. Felt like I was back in Iowa. Homemade trinkets to buy and great prices.

My boyfriend brought me back lunch from here today. I ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and hash browns. It also came with toasted buttered bread and prepackaged strawberry jam. The corned beef hash was really well seasoned! I enjoyed it a lot. The eggs and hash browns were average, nothing special but no complaints. Overall I was happy with my meal and we'll be back next time we want breakfast food read more

Was in Colorado for my brother's funeral. Boyfriend wanted American for breakfast so we decided to come here after the place we originally wanted to go to was closed. While we love trying out new places and small mom and pop shops, this place while it has high reviews was a bit disappointing when it came to customer service. When we walked in we saw that they were some what busy how ever there were a few tables opened. After the waitress asked us how many was in our party, we didn't hear from her again. Not a single, "the wait for your party size will be xyz, or were waiting for a few tables to clear up if you're ok waiting".. we just stood there and they just kept walking by us. At one point we were going to leave but since we had already been waiting for close to 30 minutes now we figured we'd wait just a little more. My younger sister finally gave up, went to ask and came back unhappy. She left. About another 15 minutes went by and we were finally seated. By this time our eagerness to eat and try a new place already passed by. Nothing special about the food. The service was disappointing and subpar. I have this place 2 stars because we actually ate an eventually received some kind of service but I wouldn't go back. read more

The build is small and cozy gives you a real at home feeling. The service was very friendly, welcoming and efficient. When I walked in there was servers who knew customers on first name basis and greeting openly. Which is always a good sign having regulars that come by so often. The food was prepared and served quickly, it was your good standard cafe breakfast. This is definitely a must go to for breakfast when visiting. read more

This place can suck it. Went today Saturday at 11:45 am. Sign out front say closes around 1ish. Walked in and place was packed. Woman says we're closing in 15 minutes and we have a full dining room. OK, all I want is a breakfast burrito to go. She gets all huffy, says the dining room is full again, no we're not taking orders, turns around and walks away. Really? Crappy attitude, crappy service, hard pass. read more

Waking up is never easy, but breakfast food makes the prospect a whole lot better! This down to earth, hole in the wall, serves a mighty fine breakfast that my hubs and I enjoyed on Saturday morning Home-made cooking, traditional food, big portions, and friendly staff makes this place the perfect breakfast spot. It's a small and intimate restaurant, decorated with nic nacks I would find in my grandma's home. Many regulars were seated and joking with the waitress. I felt like I walked into a family members house and sat down for the most delicious and rich meal I opted for an open face biscuit topped with country fried steak and eggs, and smothered in gravy with a side of hash-browns. It was absolutely amazing! My hubs went for corned beef hash, eggs, hash-browns and toast - equally as filling and delish! This is easily a go to breakfast joint! read more

I have never felt more at home then having breakfast here. Service was a 11/10. The food literally left me speechless. So amazing. I had the chicken fried steak and let me tell you I have had a lot in my day and let me tell you it was off the charts perfection. My wife had the chili relleno meal and I had a couple bites and it was better than any Mexican restaurant I've been too. Definitely will be coming back and hope to be regulars. read more

Small place. Friendly people. Good food! Lisa is very friendly the prices are very good.

I like little mom and pop cafes and Lisa's Place is just that. The food is good and service is good. They have green chili and it comes in mild, 1/2 and 1/2 or hot. I like the hot. Hash browns are good and so are the omelettes. I recommend you give this place a try. read more

Tasty food, very fair prices, great service, and good tasting coffee. What else is there? My only complaint about this place is that every time we come here, we usually get brain damage from the parking lot. It is very small and poorly designed. Once we're inside however, everything is well. We are always treated nicely and the service is always spot on. The food is exactly what you would expect from a little hole in the wall diner, tasty and cheap. It is also very clean inside. read more

My husband and I love to have breakfast or early lunch here! They have wonderful customer service and the food is amazing and very affordable! We plan to be regulars for as long as we're in the neighborhood. read more

We Love Lisa's Place. The food is Home made, and awesome! Always a great way to start the Weekend off right. Food, Lisa, John, Jeremy, Mona and Staff are Fantastic. ALWAYS a Warm and Welcoming Greeting. Even when you have to wait a bit, Worth it, TOTALLY! Enjoy your time there, and Welcome the Hospitality! Love you Guys!!! (Love the fact that 'Everybody Knows Our Name') read more

Well not sure what has happened to this place ...it used to be good. Had a breakfast burrito and the potatoes had no seasoning at all, the green chili wasn't their norm, didn't even finish it . My partner has the same thing and we complained and they did nothing just sat a salt shaker on the table. Doubt we will be back.. don't know what happened but it's definitely not what it used to be . read more

This is quite the breakfast gem! Food is delicious services terrific and the atmosphere is comfortable. It's like being in your own kitchen.

Great lil place. We were seated promptly but you might have to wait but it's worth it. Prices was reasonable and our coffee cups were NEVER empty. Food was good. We will be back . read more

Nice place for a breakfast date. A little crowded for the COVID era, but it's a small place. The green chile was tasty and I left completely full. read more

This little hole in the wall is a great breakfast stop. My daughter and I came in hungry this weekend and we had our drinks in moments after arriving and our breakfast In less than 10. All the staff was friendly and attentive, and all the food was delicious. It's always a plus when two can dine for under $15 bucks. We'll be back for pancakes! read more

This place is a joke, if you want to watch your order go to different a different table, multiple times. This is a place for you.

Been in Denver for 2 months now, recent move from Albuquerque, and I've found the BEST place for breakfast!! Not only is the food amazing but the service is top notch. I ordered the steak and eggs. The steak came out exactly as I ordered it, the eggs were perfect and the hash browns had a good crisp on the outside. The wait staff was super friendly and very attentive to my needs. Throughout my time at the table, my water was never empty or anywhere near it. They were able to manage the "hectic" rushes of people that came in for Labor Day very well. Only waited 5 minutes to be seated. I will definitely be back!! The table next to me was also so friendly; they mentioned they've been coming here (old location also) for 25 years! That's amazing!!! read more

Best breakfast around, the lunches are so so, we went a few days ago and I had the mexican burger, asked for medium green chili and pretty sure I got the hot, also the burger was very bland and luke warm, hubby got a grilled bacon and cheese and the cheese wasn't even melted. Asked for crispy fries, they were almost crispy. Breakfast is delicious but not lunch. read more
