    I love Ft. Collins and finding restaurants like this.
    Wm W.

    This is so good! I think I'm gonna quit working so I can just come and hang out here and eat every day. The pancakes were unbelievable. The Denver omelette was the best I've ever tasted and the service is impeccably nice.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Fantastic omelet

    Come here with my daughter regularly. Was just charged $3.50 x 2 for carbonated water. We will find a new spot.

    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.

    Our second time here yesterday, first since moving to Colorado 3.5 years ago. We stopped in around…read more1:00 on a Sunday....definitely less crowded than our first visit here more than four years earlier. We were seated quickly, and service was prompt and friendly. While interested in the tuna sandwich, I was really hungry, so I got an omelette instead. As it turns out, judging by the size of my wife's chicken salad sandwich and fries, the tuna likely would've been plenty for me, and I'll try it on a future visit. My omelette (with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and onions) was fine, but nothing unusual from an omelette you'd get elsewhere. Home fries and ciabatta toast were both really good too. Coffee was delicious. Speaking of the chicken salad sandwich, my wife enjoyed it on her first visit too and was equally impressed this time. Definitely a big sandwich. I'm sure she'll get it again.

    We travel to FoCo for a change of scenery every couple of months. This was a new spot for us…read more We had to wait over 20 minutes to get a seat, but knew that when we put our name on the list. Thankfully, it was a beautiful February day, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine while we waited. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's a little bit noisy. But the wallpaper is really beautiful and it fits the theme very well. Some of the things highlighted in other reviews include homemade bread and homemade hot sauce. I'm not a hot sauce eater, so I can't weigh in on that. The fresh bread was pretty awesome. The fresh jam was Cherry vanilla, which neither of us liked very much. It tasted too much like pie filling, and the texture was off. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak immensely. My breakfast, which included a large pancake, an egg and a link of sausage was priced at $10 which was an amazing price. Both of us went home with leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive. She may have had a bit too much energy if I'm being honest, but I'd rather that than someone who is lackluster and boring!

I end up leaving about half of my meal or have to force myself to finish. I've really tried to love it since Rainbow always has rave reviews, but it's just not for me. I've visited to try out their vegan/vegetarian options when I'm in the mood to eat something lighter or focus on plant-based meals since they're known for their accommodating menu. I've tried the falafel wrap, the scrambled tofu, and the vegan breakfast burrito. I've also tried their golden milk latte. I love turmeric/golden milk lattes so I was excited to try it here. It was okay, but a little too grainy for my taste. The service is fine, but nothing stands out about it. You arrive, place your order, and they'll deliver to your table or give you a buzzer so you can pick up. The restaurant itself is charming, bright, and clean. It has a really great vibe. The best part is the popular patio area especially on beautiful, sunny days. Rainbow is a good restaurant, just not for me.
