A family owed Mom & Pop shop with homemade food made with care! I stopped in for bfast and had a "kitchen sink" carne asada green chilie burrito. Also ordered a coffee. Huge burrito size! I took half of it to go (saved for later) so I could get 2 full meals for the price of $23 with a 20% tip. Great tasting food! Beats the quality of chain restaurants food! read more

I wish I could give this place more stars, but I was extremely disappointed especially after reading such great reviews. My husband and I frequently saw how busy this place gets so we wanted to see what the hype was about for ourselves. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and were able to be seated without a wait. As we were shown to our table, I saw our waitress use the menus in her hand to push a straw wrapper off the table. CLEARLY, the table wasn't cleaned off at all. I didn't make a scene because I'm a nice person... Despite the server confirming our order, my husband received sausages instead of ham on his plate. We both ordered over easy eggs and received over medium/hard eggs. This would be more understandable had there been more people in the restaurant. It wasn't busy at all. We received blueberry hot cakes which must've been the size of a small pizza with the thickness of a 400 page novel. I couldn't see blueberries so I actually had to butcher the hot cakes to see if they were indeed the correct ones we ordered. I poured the syrup on them and it beaded off the hot cakes as if they were water proof. They were extremely doughy and it tasted like a batch of raw flour dough. The service was way too slow for the dining being half full. There were two servers facing our table rolling up silverware and just talking away while we kept trying to get their attention for more coffee and water. The experience overall was horrible and makes me wonder how this place has four stars on yelp. read more

The food is pretty good. The service is absolutely abysmal. I come in every 4 or 6 weeks and I always leave wondering how the stay in business when the wait staff is, across the board, terrible. They refuse to acknowledge you. They don't bring drinks. They are rude. They are generally unpleasant. Big shout out to older blond waitress and older brunette waitress with short hair for being the worst as far as attitude, order accuracy, and acknowledging me when I have been sitting drink and menuless for 20 minutes. Get your act together. The food is fine. If the service was more pleasant maybe I'd come back more often. read more

First time at Doug's.A place where young dudes with beards would go. It was 16 degrees outside when we left. We sat at the bar. Each time the door opened, you knew it. This was less of an issue once coffee intake began, but the only reason I cannot give it 5 stars. Food was good. It's worth trying for sure. Be prepare to take a lot of food home. read more

I would describe this as a "Boulder Diner". Your typical diner fair with an emphasis on healthier ingredients and just a dash of hippietude. The photos on Yelp looked mouthwatering and I was excited to dig in. I got exactly what I wanted, a very fresh, healthy chicken sandwich. And I love cream cheese, which they REALLY seem to be a fan of here. The servers were also very friendly and reasonably attentive. All in all, it was a pretty A-OK experience. The food wasn't anything to rave about, but a great place to visit on your lunch break when you want to avoid the burger joints and fast food restaurants littered around Flat Irons Mall. And...I really want to visit here for breakfast. That might up the stars on this review. read more

We weren't impressed with breakfast at Doug's Day Diner. It was an OK experience that left us agreeing that we'd probably not return (we'd stick with our go-to breakfast spots.) The food was all pretty mediocre, and that includes the biscuit everyone raves about - the southern girl in me cringed at the taste. Their fruit selection (for our 9 month old) was almost nonexistent. The gluten free options are limited, too. I love that this place local, I love that everything is fresh, but I certainly wouldn't call it delicious. I was very underwhelmed. read more

What a gem!!!! Used yelp reviews to find this place as we were staying close by and we are so glad we did!!!! Breakfast was AMAZING. The homemade strawberry jam couldn't have been better. Ham was well cooked and the bacon was tick and crispy. The service was friendly and fast - and we even had great conversations with the locals. Couldn't have been a better experience - will definitely be back next time we are in town! read more

My family and I LOVE breakfast so we thought we'd give Doug's a try after reading the reviews. I just have to say that Doug's is lacking on all levels. We ordered breakfast with some personal preferences; we like the hash browns and bacon on the crispy side and our eggs over medium. We received barely cooked eggs and hash browns that were near burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I don't think we'll be back as you have 1 chance at a first impression. read more

Tucked away in the Safeway center, PJ's always has fantastic food and great service! PJ herself is often behind the grill midmorning while her staff eats at the bar--love how she has taken care of them through the pandemic and just cares about them. Did I mention great food and service? Everything on the menu is delicious. This place is a gem! read more

We went to Doug's Day Diner for lunch, and maybe that's why we didn't have the five star experience others touted. My son and I ordered two different burger preparations. Both were severely charred on the outside. I ordered mine medium and there wasn't a bit of pink inside, so over-cooked, charred, and bland, too. My son's was supposed to come with caramelized onion, but instead came with chopped grilled onion, he didn't know what yum mines he was missing. His French fries tasted slightly burnt, even though they looked fine on the outside. It was pretty cold in the restaurant, which made it uncomfortable. On the bright side, out waitress was very nice, it was clean, and the side salad was good. read more

PJs Diner always delivers a great value for the dollar. It's one of the few places I would be comfortable trying anything on the menu. Folks there really raise the bar on their industry, IMO. read more

This is hands down the best breakfast place in the area! It offers traditional options along with unique and healthy options. The portion sizes are massive, with half sizes available. They always deliver a consistently excellent breakfast. A great place for the whole family. The service is friendly and timely. I personally enjoy their green chili dishes and hash browns. I'm getting a craving just writing this review. Check it out! read more

I've always heard good things, but I have only ever had one decent experience at this place. The first time I came in, we had the waitress with the long blond/grey(?) hair. She was not willing to help at all. My child has a dairy allergy and I asked if she could check to see if any of their breads were 100% dairy free. She claimed that they were all from a local bakery and they didn't have the ingredients, when I could clearly see their breads and some of them were in fact store bought breads with the ingredients listed. My child and I are nothing because she wasn't willing to check a label. The second time we came in, everything went smoothly (the aforementioned waitress was not there). I am a vegetarian, which makes it hard to eat here, but the waitress had no problem letting me substitute a biscuit for the bacon in dish that I wanted. The next time we came in, we had the first waitress again. I ordered the same thing I had the last time we went in, and she flat our refused to make the substitution and said that that was something they didn't do. Clearly not the case. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Not sure what the problem with that waitress is, but she's not nice and as many others have said, she's quite rude. This place is local, so I really wanted to support it, but with a waitress like that who seems to try to make your experience bad, I won't be returning. read more

Doug's Day Diner serves just about the best breakfast I've ever had. We like the Denver location a lot, since we go there frequently and know our servers by now. The service here is still strong, but our server wasn't as accommodating with my substitution (which is fine, I get it). I usually have the Cowboy Papas, a delicious pile of crispy hashbrowns speckled with ham, bacon, and sausage, and then drizzled with red and green chili (it normally comes with cheese and eggs, which I do not eat). I also have a biscuit on the side, because their biscuits are simply scrumptious! My husband had a breakfast burrito - a very LARGE one - which he was able to finish (you gotta have goals). This place is busy, so be prepared to wait. It is, I promise you, worth the wait, though! read more

As soon as we walked in the door we knew this place was going to rock our taste buds! The aroma made us salivate. The food was made fresh, huge servings and coffee was fantastic! We'll be back! read more

My favorite breakfast spot in the area. I have tried the breakfast in all of the restaurants within 20 miles and this is the one I come back to. An added perk is that they serve burgers during breakfast.. something my boyfriend who hates breakfast food loves. (Who hates breakfast food?!) The ingredients are high quality and cooked well. I typically get the "skinny papas" with sausage added on top. It's a large plate of hash browns, covered in mushrooms, spinach, tomato and peppers. Topped with an over easy egg and cheese. I get the green chili on the side. SO GOOD. I didn't know I liked green chili until I came here! Their coffee is also very tasty and my boyfriend speaks highly of the burger and fries. The burger comes on a rectangular bun and is consistently delicious. read more

We love breakfast at PJs. Portions are enough to fill you up for two meals. Go in hungry!

The nicest wait staff are at this location. They aren't overly chatty, but competent and friendly. There is a rather large park behind the building to walk your dog too. I usually get one of their two egg omelettes with a side of avocado, and this place gave me a half of an avocado. As a franchise, I think their coffee is a little bitter, but I just use more half & half and vanilla flavored monk sugar. I wish they would switch to a lower acidity coffee and organic ingredients, but they are ok. read more

Fantastic food, great customer service! Everything we ordered was delicious. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Oh wow!!! Deliciousness on a plate! Service was prompt and impeccable. Our child was provided with a special meal to fit into their medically strict diet without hesitation. The waitress recommended the huevos rancheros with green chili. Oh my goodness! It was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to return. read more

Visited for brunch because we didn't feel like waiting in line for Snooze. I probably should have walked out when I saw the heaps of pre-cooked bacon sitting behind the griddle, but I gave it a shot anyway. I learned pretty quickly that Doug plays it fast and loose with the word 'fresh'. I had a pretty basic plate of bacon, eggs, hash browns and a biscuit and watched it sit in the pass for ten minutes, then it was placed under the sally to apparently keep it warm. I kept watching, hoping that it wasn't my plate, but then my husband's food showed up and confirmed my fear. Breakfast food is quick to cook, not complicated, and generally tasty on its own, which is why I was so heartily disappointed in this meal. I immediately touched my bacon and eggs to see if they were hot--much to my dismay and not at all to my surprise both were barely warm. The gravy on my biscuit had a greasy skin from sitting in the open air and cooling off. As far as the flavor of the food, if it's possible for something to be /aggressively/ underwhelming I would say that that describes this dish perfectly. I'm not sure how one can literally beat the flavor out of eggs, but my hotel-pan scrambled eggs looked suspiciously as though they were prepared beforehand and left in a warming dish. They were, at least, not real fresh eggs that someone had scrambled--more likely a carton of liquid eggs or a pre-beaten vat of egg goo. My eggs should look closer to butter and less like cheddar cheese. They should also be hot, and probably the last thing prepared, as any person who has gone through any culinary class (or has ever scrambled an egg before) knows that they cool down very quickly. Even IHOP brings out my eggs hot. The wallpaper glue that was masquerading as gravy atop my biscuit tasted like straight cornstarch mixed with a little water and pepper for color. It was the saddest off-white, greyish, most flavorless gravy I've experienced. The biscuit was luckily kept warm by the gravy blanket on top and it was a pleasant, fluffy biscuit. Very filling. And, ah. The bacon. Clearly not cooked within the last ten minutes. How long does it take to cook a slice of bacon? Does it need to sit in a chafing dish on a rack behind the griddle? Does the phrase 'made fresh to order' mean anything at Doug's DIner? I just want my hot foods hot and my cold foods cold. That's a basic part of restaurant service--there's no excuse for customers getting food that isn't hot and fresh, especially in a breakfast joint. There is no finesse required to fry bacon, so there is no excuse for it being this terrible. I'll just drive down to Boulder next time. read more

I would normally give this place five stars because the food is outstanding. However, I just ate here with a party of three and one of us found a long hair embedded in the omelette. Literally embedded, not on top. We brought it to the attention of the waitress, which was fine. She took the plate away. The reason for the three stars is because there was no acknowledgment from the management/owner even as we walked right past her and it's not like she was busy. She was reading a newspaper. I didn't want a 'OMG I'm so sorry ' just a simple 'please come back '. Because the other 2 ppl in our party finished their food, obviously no problem there. Just peeved no one addressed it.... read more

PJs diner is wonderful. I have been going there for a couple years now and the quality of food and fun vibe is consistent. Would recommend.

Kristina L shut up and eat ur steak...u don't know what raw is. I go here every week and everything is always above and beyond. I would give 7 stars but 5 will do. read more

The food is decent. we always get it to go because it seems hard to know when they will be open or have table available. so far they haven't gotten a single to go order correct. The staff has been kind of weird about it too when we have called to get it corrected. A bit standoffish bordering on rude. The food is good though. the red chilli sauce is awesome. read more

I usually don't write reviews at all. I love the food here...but this is the 4th time I have ordered a side pancake with EXTRA syrup and EXTRA butter and they don't put either in the box. The 4th time. Come on guys :/ read more

This is our first time Doug's and they did not disappoint! I had a ham breakfast burrito, which is huge! It's stuffed with perfectly scrambled eggs, big cubes of ham and tasty hash browned potatoes. The green chili is a little smokey and just a bit spicy. My wife had the Huevos Socorro which she thought was fantastic and the chorizo is VERY spicy. She couldn't finish it. The servings are very generous. That place was packed but service was prompt and friendly. We'll be back for sure! read more

This is good food in a very friendly atmosphere. The bacon is really good. It is a good place to meet with friends.

Ingredients were fresh but the Bacon was ruined. Maybe I just don't get it but the bacon seem like it had been overcooked then overcooked again. It basically fell apart when you bit it I could not even eat a second bite. I checked out both slices of bacon and one of mine had a little bit of fat that was not dried out. Maybe it is some kind of bacon I just never had before but it was terrible. The potatoes that were the base for my meal we're not cooked all the way through. Just didn't seem like a very good day for cooking food there. read more

A great local spot for breakfast. The portions are gigantic. Seriously gigantic. I got one of the turkey meat breakfast burritos smothered in green chile. I wish I had shared it with someone. Hubby got an omelet. They say it's a 3 egg omelet. It looked like a 6 egg omelet. He somehow ate the whole thing. The food tastes good. The atmosphere is open and local. The diner is located within the Safeway strip mall. I'm glad there is a nice local diner that everyone can enjoy. Have fun and go with a big appetite or consider sharing! read more

The whole place reeks of patchouli as soon as you walk in. Didn't seem like the type of place that Glutards, and other fringe 'societals' would frequent - in fact, the clientele seemed rather normal. My guess is that I either must have missed a hippie who'd bathed in it and just left before I arrived. Or it was one of the staff, either way - it was strong enough to set off the beginnings of a migraine. When I inquired about the scent my waitress seemed oblivious to what I was referring, and deductive reasoning would then suggest that she's accustomed to the scent, and that it would almost certainly be a co-worker (it wasn't her, as she was standing right beside me). To Doug: There's many reasons why, in food service, staffers aren't allowed to wear perfumes/colognes. Aside from the fact that you're, by default, in the business of hospitality and people's personal tastes/preferences vary so wildly that it is bound to offend someone. They way people taste their food is due, in part, to scent (which is way everything is bland when you get a cold), so...overpowering odors have NO place in a food service setting. If I wanted to taste patchouli, I'd lick a hippie. ...then go get a shot of penicillin. read more

Great service and food. Kid friendly, and usually only a short wait. Try the papas for a huge serving of goodness. My only issue is that I wish they had more of a "build your own" option for the papas. Definitely try it out! read more

What an unexpected find! Out in suburbia tucked between rock creek and flat irons mall. I didn't have high hopes for this place but ended up loving it! First of all they have the thickest bacon I have ever had at a restaurant. It is wonderful! Most breakfasts come with three slices which is almost impossible to finish, and I love me some bacon! Hash browns are made from scratch and are delish! Come here if you love basic diner breakfasts like I do. Minus one star because my side of fruit was made of canned mandarin oranges. If your not moving enough fruit to keep it fresh at least offer a grapefruit or sliced banana. read more

Hanging out in what feels like the Orange County of Denver, there are pretty limited local options. Checked this place out based on the reviews and a solid breakfast spot but be warned, the portions are huge. I got one of the Papa plates which essentially a ton of stuff on top of hashbrowns. The hashbrowns are awesome, the selection of toppings are awesome (carne asada was different than I expected but very good) but the gravy is just ok. Service is solid and the space is strip all-esque. Definitely recommend if you're craving some good hashbrowns and a massive breakfast. They have some healthier topping options like spinach and other fresh veggies. read more

Outstanding!!! We appreciated the atmosphere with the staff, the service and the food was fantastic. What a great way to start my day!!!!

This place is AMAZINGGGG.... I recently moved up to Superior from Denver, where I regularly enjoyed delicious brunches all over the city, and was overjoyed to find such an amazing diner. Especially since it is basically the ONLY diner walking distance for me. The staff is soooooooo friendly and attentive and the portions are ginormous. I've tried numerous breakfasts, burgers, and sandwiches and have been overwhelmed by delicious food. The burgers are... Life changing. There are just no words for the amazingnesss that is Doug's Diner. read more
