BOMB! Came here with family that had tried it a few weeks back. What a pleasant surprise! All homemade, delicious food. I tried a little bit of everyone's plate- burgers, onion rings, fries, etc, allll great! I had the biscuits and gravy and the diner corned beef hash and eggs, and it all was apparently made from scratch. Not only that, it was delicious. Definitely check it out. read more

Classic American diner! If you aren't from the US - this is the typical diner you see on tv and it's pretty darn good. The decor is as you would expect - 1950s. We had breakfast and had the Mountain Man which was seriously a lot of food - we shared it and were totally content. Service was prompt and attentive. It was just that American experience us visitors really like. Loved it! read more

Located right next to our hotel(with a FREE breakfast), we decided we needed to try it out & we were not disappointed..Got the Mountain Man Breakfast to share & it was fantastic..This is a can't miss stop read more

Descent food open late had chicken fried steak husband had chicken fried chicken it was much better than the tough steak. Shakes are great.

Stopped in here for a milkshake and some to go food and we had the best time! The milkshakes are handspun in metal tins just like the old days... Absolutely incredible! We took our food to go and it was still delicious 20 minutes later when we finally got to eat. Between the neon lights and the nostalgic posters on the wall, you will really feel like you went back in time! 10/10 recommend! read more

Awesome diner the food is good and the portions are big. If you are looking for something good near the airport and surrounding hotels this is the place. read more

Delicious!!! We ordered breakfast and everything was perfect. The toast is amazing. The four of us all ordered different stuff and it was all good. The portions were huge! The cooking was awesome. The food was piping hot. Omelets, pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, yum, yum, yum. They were super busy and the wait staff were hustling. Our waiter was really great. They have inside and outside seating. We had to sit inside cause there was a bee outside and I'd already been stung once on our trip. Love the diner/train decor vibe. Could use a good scrubbing, and lots of flies, but Highly recommend this place. read more

Girl up front was extremely rude. This place needs to be educated on how to have good customer.

I was seated at the diner counter bar. Several staff kept walking by but no one bothered to greet me or take my order. I Asked 3 different employees. Finally a gal took my order, If this is a diner counter there should be a designated person serving the people at the counter! The hostess who was standing there should have at least asked if I wanted coffee!! She was one of the employees I asked for service from. I understand she's not a server but staff should be trained in teamwork, hospitality, and basic skills!! Food was awful. I got the hash and was very disappointed. I would never eat here again But wanted to say that once I asked Calle for service, she stopped what she was doing, took my order and checked back often! She was great and I wasn't even in her station. read more

Such a cool restaurant! If you're coming into Denver and looking for a breakfast place, look no further. This establishment has a cool old fashioned 60's vibe to it, huge portions, and quite delicious food! The service was immediate, environment was welcoming, I wish we had this where I lived! read more

Moonlight Diner - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A must stop when visiting Denver. Great food and atmosphere. Chicken Fried Steak for Breakfast is awesome, Chicken Fried Steak for lunch is awesome and the Chicken Fried Steak for dinner is awesome. Let's just say the Chicken Fried Steak is awesome. Every thing else is great to including the staff. read more

I don't understand why this place has so many great reviews. Service was extremely slow. . My daughter got the buttered noodles. They were mushy and super oily. That absolutely zero flavor I got the Philly cheesesteak. It too was Bland and cold. And my husband got the patty melt. He said it was less than average. It's acute diner but the foods lackluster. read more

The Moonlight Diner was a pleasant surprise. We were in town for a soccer tournament and found a diner with a great selection of food, beverage and desserts read more

Best breakfast must stop if you are leaving the airport or going to. The gravy must have very friendly clean and enjoyable place to eat family friendly and fast service read more

Everything was delicious. I personally had the smoked turkey Rueben with sweet potato fries. It was not disappointing!! Several people in my group returned for dinner. read more

Moonlight Diner - Smoked turkey rueben. Can't wait!! - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Had just checked in to the Ramada by Wyndham next door (never again, see my review of that place too!), and me and the wife thought that the Moonlight would be a great place to stop by for dinner. We we incredibly wrong. It was a Wednesday evening, not too busy, and yet we waited in the entryway for at least ten minutes before we caught a staff member's attention. (For descriptive purposes only, I'm calling her Rude Black Woman in the Kitchen). She finally sat us and me and my wife waited. And waited. And then, we waited some more. I think the setup is that there's the diner on most of one side and a bar on the other, and a few servers were popping back and forth between the two sections without paying any attention to our table. Finally, I flagged down a woman--her name is Misty--and said that we hadn't received menus or anything yet. She immediately brought us some and asked if we wanted drinks and appetizers. Strike Two against Rude Black Woman, bonus points for Misty. She took our order and brought it to the kitchen, at which point my wife and I witnessed a fight: Rude Black started yelling at Misty while pointing at our table and at another server--Young Clueless. I got the sense that our table was in Young Clueless' section and Rude Black was upset that Misty had stolen us. Even so, that was shameful and unprofessional. So Young Clueless eventually delivers our order and we never see her again for the rest of the night. No check-in, no check out. I flagged down Misty again to ask for our check and also to ask a very specific question: Do the servers have to tip out the kitchen staff or otherwise split their gratuities? She said no, and I immediately handed her a sizable cash tip for her courtesy and service. The food was fine, but the entire experience was tainted by the people. Misty was an absolute gem, Young Clueless was an absentee moron, and Rude Black Woman should be fired. Plain and simple. (And forget accusing me of being racist or nursing a bias against the service industry. I'm Black, and I've worked in restaurants before. The guiding principle is that customers ALWAYS accommodated in a timely manner, and stupid turf wars between servers should NEVER be fought in full view. There is NEVER an excuse for poor customer service.) Bottom line, never eat here. Or, if you do, make sure you ask for Misty. read more

Picked this place because it wasn't a chain, it was close to the airport and had a decent rating. I don't know that it was as good as the ratings lead us to believe. One of us had chicken fried and the meat was gray and very chewy. I had a basic scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast. Was ok. I asked for eggs really hard ( when they thought it was done to cook it some more) and got just cooked wet eggs. It was fine but nothing spectacular. Basic greasy spoon stuff. Other person in our group had waffles. Again, was ok. Nothing special. Thought prices were high for what we got. It was edible. The place was packed and a bit loud so glad we were able to be outside. read more

The food is just ok and the service was very slow. It does seem to be a popular place, but it just wasn't for us.

Awesome! They smoke their BBQ. What a gem for a business traveler. Perfect and delightful workers.

The food was delicious, i got the french toast and it was amazing , the eggs were good not a fan of hashbrowns like this but they were alright , the food was definitely worth it !!! read more

Moonlight Diner - French Toast with a scrambles egg - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ate here for a Saturday brunch. My husband ordered the meat lovers omelet and they were able to customize it to his preferences omitting the ham he didn't want on it. I ordered the Colorado something, which had pork with a chili red sauce, country potatoes, 2 eggs, and cheese. It was delicious, amazing. Not overly spicy as some can be, but with a delicious blend of fabulous flavors. Coffee was just okay, but we got ice waters, and the service was kind, efficient, and attentive without being too much. read more

Came back again and ordered the corned beef hash, it wasn't like a hash at all and the beef itself had a lot of fat in it. My eggs, toast and hash browns were good though. Service was a little slower today but other than that everything was fine. read more

Moonlight Diner - Corned beef hash - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

2 stars is being nice. The men's bathroom was gross. Lots of flies inside. No paper towels to dry off with. Coffee is pretty good. Not too strong. I liked it. I ordered the braised pork in adobo with eggs & potatoes. The softness of the pork was on point, but the adobo was too salty & the potatoes were too salty as well. Look, this is one of the few breakfast sit-down spots just outside of DIA. Plus, this is such a booming area. We cannot allow this to be the first impression people get of our state. Sorry. read more

I love the ambiance, definitely feels like what you would expect a diner to feel like. The bustle and pictures everywhere make it unique. The service is always great, they are fast and friendly. The food is your typically breakfast items. It's not something we think of right away when we want breakfast food but good if your looking for something in the area. read more

I will give 5 stars, because the food and the setting, and location were all perfect! But it was freeeezing cold in there. Take a jacket. Super close and easy to the Denver airport. Plenty of parking. Cute style inside and out. Friendly service. Big servings of great breakfast food. Great experience. read more

We loved it. We are staying at the Ramada in which is right next to this diner. You can just walk over to it. We were quickly greeted with a smile and asked if we'd like a booth or table. We chose a booth. Teresa was our waitress. She promptly took our drink orders. She came back quickly with our drinks and took our order. My husband and I both ordered burgers. I got onion rings and the got the fried zucchini. The food was delicious!! I wanted to try the dessert, but I was too full!! The burgers are huge. I'm so glad we checked the reviews on this place and decided to eat here. Teresa was very friendly and welcoming. I've been in customer service for 26 years and she definitely knows how to treat her customers!! My only complaint is that we don't live here so we can't visit it often. read more

The location look great and '60's. The food and waiters seem to be less focused on greatness. It just an average place and not very cheap. The wait for our meals took a long time and the refills took ages... read more

Food was amazing, and the service was not. They told us they couldn't split the check, so they place our order separate and so people were eating at different times. read more

Nice retro dine ambiance. Menu options and Food was great, low wait time, service was good.

Update. Back again with my dog on the patio on a chilly Sat late afternoon. The bartender brought a water bowl out for my dog! Instant 5 stars. Great burger. AND the bartender brought my dog a couple pieces of bacon. Great find!!! Fix your sign, folks, looks like crap and your place deserves better signage. Killing time waiting to pick up my wife at DIA looking for a place with an outdoor patio where I could have a beer and my dog have some shade. Saw this crazy looking 50's style diner with a huge shaded patio and hit it. 3pm on a weekday, pretty dead but - good selection of tap beers $5.00 for 20 oz! Cold! Even less during happy hour! You're 10 fast miles from DIA here, 5 from airport road. Beats hell out of that crappy retail cell lot waiting area. Cute small separate bar area with big screen TV, that is next to the patio. Big parking area, Ramada next door. Free Wifi. I'll be making this my new waiting area. read more

Such a nice little diner right on the way to the airport! We had the Moonlight Melt with sweet potato fries - delicious!! My husband had the club and regular fries - great too! My daughter had the French toast which was delicious as was the chocolate chip pancakes! Will be back next time we are in town! read more

Before heading to the airport, we stopped off for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you are in an actual diner. We loved the decor and feel of the place. The menu was what you would expect, lots of breakfast items, sandwiches and some good variety of entrees. The food was very good. Our table had a good mix. One person ordered the meatloaf, another ordered the grilled cheese, and I ordered a bacon burger. All portions were generous to the say the least. The prices were also generous and in line with what a diner should be. The service was pretty good, but a little slow. I chalked it up to 1) the restaurant was full but 2) not enough staff working. Our server seemed to be taking care of half of the restaurant at least. If you are looking for a solid meal near the airport, this spot is a good one. read more

Has good chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. They really need to add a better veggie to go with it. It has been the same squishy mixture for years . And the roll is always dry. The fish and chips are also very good. Nice place, good service. Sorry that they took the pizzas off the menu read more

Perfection! I saw lots of great-looking plates when I walked in, and mine was absolutely delicious. I'm only in town for a few days but this breakfast makes me want to come back here again before I leave town. Thank you!! read more

My pancakes weren't fully cooked. Could've just ate the pancakes at my hotel. Will definitely pass the next time I'm in Denver.

Ordered the grilled cheese with tomatoes and my side was chicken noodle soup. No tomatoes on the sandwich and the soup was a cup of carrots and celery. When asked where the noodles and chicken were was told at the bottom. I proceeded to stir in from of waitress and no chicken and no noodles. Brought another one and had two noodles and more celery and carrots. Feel bad for waitress since she seems to be running all the tables read more
