    Great feel, and clean too
    Kurt S.

    Staying at the Gaylord Rockies and decided to venture out for a non-Marriott breakfast. $9 Lyft ride or a 20 minute walk. Awesome classic diner feel with a great menu. I opted for the Meat Eaters omelet with pancakes vs toast with hash browns. Super friendly staff, seems family owned and run. I will come back for dinner one night to try their milk shakes.

    I had a great experience overall. The service was excellent our server was attentive, friendly, and maintained a positive attitude throughout the visit. The food was also very enjoyable, I ordered the chicken with biscuits and gravy and it was absolutely delicious. The cozy atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a relaxing breakfast. The only downside was the parking it was a bit difficult to find a spot close to the restaurant.

    Alright this place has been on our to go list ever since we passed it going to or from the airport years ago. We live 35-mins from the airport so really, that would be the only time we'd go. My uncle came into town and was staying by the airport so we saw this as our chance, and honestly it totally lived up to the expectation! We ordered the chicken fried steak, turkey club, BLT, and cup of red chili and it was all divine diner food! I ordered a chocolate milkshake but they ended up forgetting it, which honestly was okay because I was so full after the rest of the food I probably couldn't have drank or enjoyed it. Would definitely return if we have some time to kill around the airport or recommend to people staying near by!

    When I walked in the place was packed and for good reason! The service was great and the food even better, I got the huevos rancheros and they were fantastic!

    Diner's in new place are a must! Came across this place on a Monday morning with a group of 5 and a toddler. Waited no longer than 10 minutes to get seated. Menu was straight forward and our group did have some questions and the service was helpful in answering questions along with suggestions on what to order. Got to try the country fried steak and eggs with a mimosa and a mimosa flight to share. Food was FANTASTIC that our table even got to share a savory plate. Mimosa's did sosa. Loved that the diner is located on the side of road and has the feeling of a diner. Wonder if dinner here would hit different?

    The green chili was great, the service was phenomenal, my coffee cup was never empty. Easily walkable from all the hotels nearby. If you are staying near the airport and need a good meal I highly recommend Moonlight.

    Good place to stop, whether on the way to or from DIA. Would definitely recommend the Moonlight Diner for breakfast, but lucky for us, breakfast is served all day. The pancakes are an easy go to but definitely give the breakfast burrito a try. It is of great portion. It seems like the Diner is a popular spot as it is always busy when we visit. The dining area is not kept up very well, so bring wipes. Same goes for the restroom facilities. The latter being run down, out of stock on toiletries and a dysfunctional towel dispenser.

    Great meatloaf, coleslaw, the veggies is a little bit soggy but good
    Bobby C.

    Food is good (I had their meatloaf), service was friendly, and great environment is typical diner set up cute and cozy. Best of all the prices were great

    Green chili chicken soup
    Patricia C.

    The dinner takes you back in time! I landed and this was my first place I ate at upon my arrival. The prices are fair and portions are large. They definitely give you large quantities of food. The hamburger was a bit too greasy for my liking. It had a grease taste. I did like the soup, it was spicy and savory The service was just ok. Their were times I had to wait for the check or order extra condiments.

    Nice meal after an event at the Gaylord Hotel. It wasn't as busy yet which was nice. But there was a large party in our section so our server was busy. I decided on the lemon pepper salmon. Wanted a peppermint hot chocolate but it turned out that it was alcoholic so I decided on water. The salmon was fine. The veggies were bland. Roll nice. Rice meh. I thought the burger he had would be better but he said it was not that good. Ah well. We still had a nice time and were full after. Diners are so fun.

    Super cute and cozy spot that we checked out on our layover in denver! Service was quick and friendly. There was a big menu with lots to choose from! Food tasted great! Would come back again!

    Classic Breakfast

    We ate at Moonlight because it was close to the airport. The food was not great to us. We all ate because we.were hungry and there however it will not be a location we visit again. The cinnamon roll was delicious! We did not like the hasbrowns. The chicken fried steak was seasoned on the breading but not the chicken itself. The gravy was bland. The pancakes were good, fluffy. The service was great. The ambiance was a diner feel and comfortable. However when we were at the location, there was a couple of times we were getting a plastic melting smell. The restrooms were clean.

    This was our second time eating here during our annual visits to Denver. And so we ordered the corned beef hash and over easy eggs and hash brown. We also ordered French toast. Everything was as it should be ... it was all good but the best was our server !! She had great customer service and even gave us good recommendations of where to go while in Denver. Thank you Lisa

We headed down to a crowded restaurant around 11 AM. It was pretty packed because it was opening day for the Colorado Rockies, and everyone was getting pre-game food. We checked in, to find that it was only about a 15-20 minute wait, a perfect amount of time to get mimosas at the bar. It actually turned out that we had a nice little area to drink our mimosas near the hostess stand, where we got to chat with other patrons. The restaurant itself is an upscale and modern diner, with modern diner food. It had a bight aesthetic. Once we were seated, we got to look over the menu. We decided to share the Maple Deviled Eggs and OG Hash with soyrizo. I was glad we shared so we could try both dishes. Also, the portions were rather large. Anyway, we enjoyed the food. It was creative and flavorful. There were lots of menu items the sounded good, so it was difficult to decide. It was also fun to try a couple of breakfast cocktails, for something different than a mimosa. All in all, we had a great brunch at The Original, and it was a great way to start our day.

Slightly sweet and fluffy and taste good with syrup, jam or alone. The restrooms could use a little attention. The floors were wet and the towel dispenser not working properly. Nothing a little makeover couldn't help.
