Holly S.

Charming cozy and friendly staff - step back into 1975 -and the food is yum. The decor is nostalgic of Route 66 off road diner- prices are fair. Great music and the chef is awesome. Owner was serving tables. Try it

Biscuits & gravy
JoAnna G.

Cute little diner in Fort Collins. Fast service! Food was delicious. Server was really nice

Family from California out for breakfast.

Greatest breakfast ever! Sandy was an amazing server! Food was not only delicious, but came out quickly. Definitely coming back.

Fantastic omelet
Mike H.

Small simple diner with solid food. Smaller menu than a Jersey diner, but similar quality. I got the fantastic omelet ($12.50) with ham, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Good portion and very satisfying meal

Cinnamon roll
Camille H.

Cute little place, felt very old school which is my kind of scene. We were greeted right away and sat down in a booth. We didn't have much time otherwise we'd have ordered more but we both ordered some juice and coffee, and got the cinnamon rolls. I didn't realize they'd be so big! We definitely could have shared. The staff were all nice and friendly. We both said that if I'm the area again we would surely come back and try a more heart breakfast!

The Johnson's Corner cinnamon roll was OUTSTANDING. I'd come back just for that, but the rest of the breakfast was just ok.

Some of the worst employee attitudes I've experienced in a long time. Bad enough to never consider returning again.

Loved the Prime Rib Sandwich The corn bread skillet is to…read moredie for. The Cole slaw is out of this world. Fast service and stellar ambiance. You need to stop here. Loved it.

Eh. Over recent years, I've had very hit and miss experiences at the downtown Austin's. Yesterday…read morewas another disappointing miss. We stopped in for a late lunch, arriving around 2. We started with a beer for my husband and a mocktail for me. The mocktail (blueberry lemonade) was simply not worth the $7 price tag. Mostly ice - filled to the literal rim of the glass. So full when I took one of my first sips, ice fell to the floor. There was just a splash of ginger beer; it could've used more but, alas, no room with all that ice! When I mentioned it to the server, she explained that's how they make them. She offered to bring me another, but it seemed clear she meant I'd be paying for it. No thank you. Next, my food. I tried the salmon burger (new to the menu, I'm told) which is actually a salmon croquette on a bun with some lettuce and vinaigrette. It's HUGE and not in a good way. The first few bites were okay, and I thought the heavily breaded effect was due to biting into the edge. As I continued eating, though, most bites felt like a mouthful of bread. I can only hope there was minced salmon in it, but the ratio was so heavy on breadcrumbs that I couldn't detect it. Not the slightest hint of pink on the inside either. I ate about 1/2, my hungry hub finished it. The flaws of the salmon burger didn't seem worth pointing out to the server after the response I got with the drink. Later, as we walked around downtown, I felt like I had a lead sandwich in my stomach. My husband had a better experience than I. His bison burger came out great. No complaints. Unfortunately for me, I think I'll just have to order very specific things when coming here now. Austin's has sentimental value for me - it's the first place we dined after moving here 27 years ago. Because of that, I keep giving them second chances after they fall short. I just wish they'd return to the days of "you can't go wrong", everything is awesome.

Literally the best place for dinner in Fort Collins, it rivals some Michelin spots I've been to…read more One of the best dressings on a simple starter salad I've ever had; I ate it like chips. Fresh, quality ingredients, nothing too fancy, just incredible cooking technique for a reasonable "nice dinner" price. The ambiance is small and humble, but still feels like a nice night out. Service is great, and they all look like they've been chosen from a casting agency for a small town restaurant drama. Warning if you have a vertical ID: even if you can legally drink, they might not take it and WILL lecture you.

Met a friend for brunch on a Saturday morning. We did have a reservation. We arrived 10 minutes…read moreprior and there was a line. They seemed short handed as it took until 15 minutes later for us to be able to let someone know we were there for our reservation. We were then seated in a side room of sorts. Our server came and welcomed us and snagged our drink order while we looked over the menu. A while later he returned with our beverages and took our food order. I chose to enjoy a glass of Sparkling Rosé by Gruet out of New Mexico. Lovely. The decor is an interesting mix of things. Odds and ends that come together to be their vibe. They have lots of great plants throughout the building as well. Our food arrived and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I chose to get the shrimp and grits. I added on a side of their collard greens. Those were delicious. the shrimp was well seasoned and grilled on top of some lovely, cheesy poblano grits. Two basted eggs crowned grits with a crispy tortilla strip garnish. My friend gave me her slice of focaccia toast. That was hearty. Being that we were in a side room and no one else was seated at the immediate tables, it was easy to be forgotten. We had to flag down our server to get our check so we could head on our way. I do understand how hard it is when short staffed. Overall solid beverage choices and great food. The staff is very pleasant.

I went with my wife and daughter on a busy Friday evening for dinner. Our wait was not very long…read moreand we were lucky to be seated upstairs. It is a fairly noisy place so I feel the upstairs was a little quieter and I was glad not to have been seated in one of several booths near the entrance with so many people standing and waiting on seating. Our server was nice and attentive, and the food came out rather quickly. I had an pleasant DC Oakes IPA and the Bomb Diggity hamburger with sweet potato fries. The burger was very tasty (a fat bomb) and with the fries was a substantial amount of food - I was only able to eat about half of it all. However, that burger had to be the saltiest burger I've ever eaten. Curious, I went to the DC Oakes website to find nutritional information about my meal and there is no nutritional information. A third-party website (Marcos.menu) offered the following on the Bomb Diggity: Calories: 1200; Protein: 50g; Carbs: 55g; Fat: 85g. Nothing about sodium. My wife is on a sodium-restricted diet and she knows not to order anything like this burger. But still, nutritional information would be nice to know. When do you plan on putting this information on your menu for your customers? I will return to sample more of their beer and food selections.
