Excellent food and really has diner vibes. It gets pretty packed on weekends so arrive early if you don't want to wait. The line does go pretty fast. read more

Our waiter was awesome, I wish I could remember his name. We were exhausted--late night after a road trip--and he brought a really chill but upbeat attitude to our table. The food was good. Exactly what you would expect from a good diner: burgers, shakes, fries, wings! The milkshake was especially great. If I lived around here, I'd be coming in often! read more

Me and my boyfriend went here and I ordered the 'Albuquerque Turkey' sandwich. The fries were crisp and obviously freshly fried, and the sandwich was outstanding. The turkey is thickly sliced and they smoke their meats at the restaurant. Everything was fresh and delicious, and so large too. I had to take most of mine home. The diner was also very cute on the inside and outside. The staff were nice and attentive. read more

*It was too busy to even get in. Not enough servers and extreme long wait time. Parking was tight and not enough spaces.

Good food for a good price. The serving sizes are big. Service was good. The bar drinks aren't their strong point.

We needed a diner close to the airport to catch a breakfast after a very early morning airport. We enjoyed this place. For a newer place, our booth was a bit beat up in the seat. Thankfully the food wasn't so old school. We had a chocolate chip pancakes that was huge with eggs as well. I had the southwest themed pancakes with cornbread-ish batter, pork green chili and gravy. Can't find this on the east coast so I enjoyed it. Coffee was real disappointing. Weak and flavorless. But beyond that, we enjoyed our breakfast here. Nice service. Quick and friendly. read more

I would definitely come here for breakfast again and gladly try dinner or lunch. A true diner in every sense of the term. Reminds me of the stainless steel diners back east. I was seated right away even though they seemed pretty busy. The place has a good amount of seating though it does get backed up a bit for weekend breakfast. Service was very good. The food was pretty tasty and portion size was very good. read more

Its dark out and the blue pink purple neon sign outside the dinner gives way to a warmly lit, classic diner atmosphere- old music, with your choice of booth or table. I was served a burrito within 5 minutes of ordering it- it had no right to taste as good as it did in under 5 minutes. Thanks read more

This was a pleasant surprise. We were in Denver for a golf tournament and ate at the Moonlight diner is just outside the airport. We went back 2 times for breakfast. The reason we went back was because of the food quality & quantity and the price can't be beat. The service was old school where the waiters have been there for years. Breakfast were very traditional eggs, bacon, pandcakes, waffles, sausage etc. The food was cooked to order in the tradition of a diner. They also serve lunch and dinner. Botton line we will return. read more

This wasn't far from our hotel so we decided to try it one evening. They have plenty of food options, I got the Big Breakfast Burrito which came very fast and had a nice combination of meat/veggies/etc. It's styled like an old diner and the server was very helpful and made sure things were done right. read more

Service has always been excellent. Super nice folks. Ambience is super cool. Very 1950s shiny stainless steel ambiance. The smoked pork and turkey are done in house and super smoky and flavorful. Highly recommend. Seasoning on the rest of the stuff is a little lacking. Could use a little more attention to detail like making the leaves of lettuce in the salads actually small enough that you could put in a very large mouth. That said it's an amazing place to stop on your way to the airport. Food better and half the price. And you're 10 minutes away and you've already missed all the traffic. read more

I hate that I live so far from Moonlight. Each time I go to the airport is an excuse to eat there. The staff rocks! The food rocks! I wish I lived closer so I could just direct deposit my pay to them. read more

This is my second time at the moonlight diner . The food is fantastic I ordered the chillli burger with fries topped with green pork chilli - it was fantastic! The spice of the peppers gave a great kick to the french fries. I totally recommend it. The ambient is peaceful and family friendly. The best service in Colorado. read more

The burgers are amazing. Friendly staff. We ordered a signature burger, a mushroom Swiss burger and all American cheese burger, the portions are big and everyone finished their burgers read more

Delicious! Generous portions and generous menu options. The Moonlight Diner offers everything you can expect from a diner: silver shiney exterior, cute booths, checkered flooring and breakfast and milkshakes served all hours of the day. I got [giant] turkey wrap with fries and my cousin got an omelet. We loved it! We would have gotten some ice cream for dessert but we were way too full. The diner being close to the Denver airport and nearby hotels was the perfect location to get a reasonably priced meal before or after your travels. read more

Moonlight Diner - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

One of our favorite diners. Great food, quick service, and good location when I'm on the way to the airport

We stayed at the Gaylord and came to this diner on a busy Sunday morning. We joined the Yelp wait list and by the time we drove 5 minutes up the road, we only had to wait 5 minutes for our table. The menu is extensive and items are reasonably priced. The whole diner is decorated for the holidays, and the servers were wearing adorable holiday pajama outfits. Two of the us are gluten free (I'm Celiac) and the server was kind and knowledgeable. Their potatoes are GF and they also have GF buns and bread. I ordered a GF avocado toast with a side of turkey sausage, and my friend ordered the breakfast tacos. Another friend ordered the Denver omelette. All was delicious! I look forward to coming back! read more

Moonlight Diner - Mimosa and breakfast...doesn't get any better! - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The building itself is enough to draw you in. Old school diner vibes inside and out. Great menu. A little dirty though...I try to block that part out...but it factors for sure. They serve liquor. Plus. Great selection. Plus. I've been here twice on two separate business trips and the servers are...I can't find the words. I guess I would describe them as "nice" but not friendly. The food is comforting with some creative options too. It's a good spot with some kitschy appeal too. read more

Good "inspired by old school" diner. Went about nine on a Saturday and their parking lot was absolutely full, so we had to park on the street about a block away. Not such a big deal, but be aware that there is no sidewalk for much of that short walk. 20 minute wait once we checked in, which went by reasonably quickly, in part because they had coffee and water set out for those waiting. As far as food, I'm a believer that huevos rancheros are one of the basic diner dishes that a place must have in Denver to be respectable. This one was pretty good. Maybe not the best of all time ever, but it was tasty. (Only complaint would be a bit of a dried and tough tortilla for the last third of it or so.) Otherwise, the green chile was good, the eggs perfectly over easy, and the hash browns nice and soft and crunchy. Good breakfast, really. My picky kids ate the vast majority of their dishes (pancakes and biscuits and gravy, respectively) and declared themselves fat and happy. That was the goal, so I feel we won. Service was sufficient and friendly in the midst of a big rush. You may get more talk time when they aren't slammed. I have no complaints on this front. Nice counter/bar at the front which even on a busy morning was essentially empty. If I were alone or with my GF, I'd totally go that option for zero wait. Lots of old framed magazine ads on the walls as well as old metal advertising signs. Definitely trying for a vibe. Overall, if you're in north Aurora and need/want a diner that's not IHOP, this is a great option. It's not in a fashionable part of town, but then what respectable diner is? We'll be back. read more

Moonlight Diner - Huevos rancheros! Mild spice. Tortilla a bit dry from north of the sour cream otherwise this was a good solid breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Good food, nice staff and reasonable prices, what's not to love. Lived in denver for 6+ years and worked at the airport and it took me forever to finally try it out, kinda regret not trying it before but now I'm making up for it. I decided to get the Big burrito with chorizo since the waitress said it had some weight behind it and boy did it, but I ain't no quitter and it went down after a decent fight. If you really hungry I would recommend it so as to have a big meal for a good price. If you have a chance don't make the mistake I did and sit on it, give it a try. You'll probably like it. read more

Moonlight Diner - The big burrito - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We stopped in because it was close to the airport and we had an early flight. It's on e of the old Mobil home/manufactured housing style diners that were semi-popular a couple of decades back. The building looks like it's seen better days. The food portions were good. Prices were good. Service was good. Food was average. If you have a flight it's a much better choice than eating at the airport. Overall we were satisfied with our meals. read more

After landing at the Denver Airport, we were starving and looking for breakfast. It was one of the closest options to the airport for us, and we were hoping that wasn't the only reason for the wait. We only waited about 10 min, and it was an easy wait outside in some shade. You can join their waitlist from Yelp! Make sure to check the wait times- it's so convenient! I ordered an Irish coffee to drink and made a last second order switch from breakfast to lunch and got the Albuquerque Turkey sandwich. The sandwich was sooo tasty-- served hot sliced Turkey with pepper jack cheese, green chiles, a chipotle Mayo and lettuce, tomato and red onion. I was so pleased with my split second choice! I will be thinking about this sandwich for a while! My boyfriend got a flight of margaritas- lime, peach, mango, and lime and a pulled pork sandwich. He was also pleased with his choices! I was jealous of the margs! read more

50s throw back Diner. From the outside in you're back in time with milkshakes and music. Service was awesome and the prices were on point. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and added jalapeños.

Great experience and tasty food at the Moonlight diner. I have been there 3 times and finally getting to a review. Twice I had breakfast and once lunch. Servings are very large and expect leftovers. I had BBQ pork sandwich is awesome and smoked on-site. Fries are extra good with some seasoning they put on them. The environment is fun with a 50's dinner style and yes the Shakes are great! The service was good, friendly and quick even though they were busy. The only downside is parking and wait area has limited space and given its popularity the place feels packed most of the times.

Good Breakfast. Been coming here since it opened. Has been up and down. Seems to be back up! Wait staff very nice. Like that our dog can join us on patio. Think of adding dog menu, like Lazy Digs does. Loved the music ! read more

As we are staying in the area we decided to try moonlight diner for dinner. We were seated quickly after entering. The menu had lots of options. We settled on a patty melt and a grilled cheese with ham sandwich. Our food was delivered quickly. It was hot and fresh. Both the burger and the sandwich were large. The burger was cooked as ordered, pink. The cheese was melted throughout. I got the sweet potato fries, there was a lot of them. The side salad was just the right size. If you are looking for a tasty dinner near the airport hotels off tower the moonlight diner is a good choice. read more

Delightful cafe restaurant on Tower Road near the cluster of hotels supporting DEN. The place just looks cool! Couldn't hardly resist checking it out. I was there for dinner after work on a weekday, so it wasn't too crowded. I requested a patio table which was maybe a 5 minute wait. No big deal. It was a super nice night after several rainy cool days and the Mountain View made it worth the while. I had a seasonal beer, an apricot ale. Not sure who it was by but it was light and not sweet. I also had a buffalo chicken wrap and upgraded to onion rings. Onion rings are def worth the upgrade. Buffalo chicken wrap was tasty too. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Prices reasonable. Lots of parking if you have a car. read more

WAITRESS COURTNEY SUCKED. We are a very easy and quiet family but she genuinely could not have been bothered to serve us. If you hate your job so much just quit. We waited probably 20 minutes for a milkshake that still didn't come until she was asked about it and food was out. When asked about it she was snappy and rude. Didn't come back to check on us, couldn't even smile or say hello. We asked for forks and she basically threw them into the basket. We asked to split our ticket and she said she couldn't because we were a party of 9 plus one baby. That's fine but she absolutely does not deserve $33 of auto gratuity when she is a horrible server. Not to mention she slammed our plates on the table when handing out food. I'm a server and she sucked, and as a customer she sucked. Your workplace will improve once you hire servers that are worth it. read more

First experience was not good. The restaurant was freezing cold, so cold that it felt like they were keeping corpse in there. The server was very rude and not accommodating, it felt as we were a nuisance to her existence. The food was not good, I order a well done burger and it was a flavorless medium. My daughter ordered a chicken plate and the chicken was undercooked and tough. I will not be returning to this diner as it did not check none of the boxes. The food was not worthy of a picture. read more

Steer clear from this restaurant! My girlfriend and I decided to test out this restaurant for the first time and we were beyond disappointed. Our server showed little to no courtesy and was extremely disrespectful while serving us. We had felt so unwelcome that we were ready to leave just from service alone. Then we had a chance to try the food. We ordered the chicken and waffles along with a bacon burger. Although the burger was decent, the chicken and waffles tasted beyond weird. We were unable to even stomach any of it. To top it all off, a day later I find out that the server had added a $10 tip on the receipt when we had refused to tip for the horrible experience. For a first impression, this was beyond awful. We will never be coming back here! read more

I don't want to be mean about a place that is clearly a local institution, but I would lean more toward two stars. Service was good, place was a little bit dirty but not offensively so. The consistency of the syrup was like.. water. Very disturbing. I had the corned beef hash, and the corned beef seemed like it def came from a can and was an off brand. The hashed browns seemed like they came from a frozen bag. My scrambled eggs seemed like they came from a liquid carton, were poured into a skillet, and not moved a single time until they were plated (dry and flat). I might just not be a diner person, but the quality of the food really took me aback considering the high ratings. Basically a step above a free hotel breakfast and a step below a village inn, with bigger servings. But again that watery syrup was... whoa. read more

Every time we've been there. Excellent food & service! Even when the place is full. We've been there for breakfast and lunch.
