Leo is definitely one of the better servers here. Still young so occasionally not focused on service. Food is great and prices are still reasonable read more

Needless to say much, AMAZING, the food is. Biscuits and gravy. I mean GRAVY , loaded with generous amount of yummy sausages, over a bowl of homemade biscuits, country potatoes, and over-easy eggs. Please correct me, was that a breakfast in Heaven, or not? Best read more

If you're in the area please give this place a try. The food was good the wait staff extremely friendly would recommend it to anyone traveling through the area. read more

I can't believe there's a single non-5 star review for Red Rooster Cafe. This is by far the best breakfast in Denver. Ever since I moved from the east coast, I've been on the search for a solid diner. Red Rooster far exceeded expectations. I now frequent this place more than any other restaurant. The Greek Omelette is my favorite, closely followed by the Gyro. The service is friendly and efficient. The prices are great. Highly recommend! read more

Unassuming, generous portions, splendidly understated breakfast/cafe fare. You will become a regular in no time (or after just one visit, as I did). Surprised by any reviews less than *****. Generally (from what I've quickly reviewed), these tend to come from grand standing snobbish Yelpers with too fine a palate to which I can relate. Hope life becomes happier for them in 2018. Cheers! read more

Insane amounts of tasty, nicely presented food at amazing prices. My son had the special steak sandwich for $10. The steak turned out to be at least 10 ounces and about an inch thick! Prepared rare as requested, served open-faced on nicely buttered, thick, grilled toast and topped with grilled green peppers and onions. The heap of well-cooked fries took over the rest of the 12-inch plate. He devoured the food with pleasure. Wow, what a meal! I ordered the Mexican steak with eggs. My rare steak was a little thinner, about 8 ounces, smothered with hot (I do mean hot) green chili and cheese. Two over-easy eggs sat beside the giant order of nicely cooked breakfast potatoes which contained an occasional mushroom or green pepper chunk. This plate came with a choice of biscuits and gravy, French toast, or pancakes. (You could get regular toast or tortillas if preferred, but I can't imagine who would prefer those over the other choices.) I took home half my steak, about 3/5 of the potatoes, and two lovely pancakes for which the waitress provided take-home syrup and margarine. This will be another two or three meals for me for the grand total of $10. Note: At first all I tasted in the chili was the heat. It tasted great with the steak, though; and as I got used to the heat I noticed the nuanced flavors. It would be great on a burrito, which the Red Rooster sells for just $2.50 before 10 a.m. Wowzers! The cafe is located in a very ordinary downscale strip mall, the type most people regard as unappealing. The interior is spotless but ordinary. You don't come here to impress anyone - you come here to enjoy the food! The waitresses call you honey and sweetie and seem to mean it, and they work hard to keep you happy. The coffee mugs are huge. The cream is real half-and-half. The serving plates and portions are huge. The burgers are huge. I saw a burger being enjoyed, and it put the chains to shame. The gyros are not only huge but also golden brown on the outside, looking more delicious than normal. (Yes, they have Greek too - bonus!) Definitely worth a stop whenever you're in the area, and even worth a detour! read more

I have been craving Biscuits & Gravy for breakfast for several weeks. I called Red Rooster as I had seen the restaurant driving by for work several times. I was encouraged that their signage showed "Home Made Green Chile" and "Grass Fed Beef". Looked like a couple of really good baselines. Unfortunately, their gravy was some gross gelatinous substance that came out of a box or bag or can (VERY reminiscent of the crap they serve for the free breakfast at mid-range hotels). The 'sausage' in the sausage gravy was not present and it tasted mostly like reconstituted milk. It came with 'home fries' which were oily/greasy potatoes (a combination of sliced/chunked/shredded), kind of stale tasting with no caramelized or crisp portions. This place is generally pretty busy and I would guess there are some things on their menu they do well. But I can warn you there are things on their menu they do extremely poorly. I expect everything on a menu to be worth serving. It is a restaurant, not a roulette wheel. I won't be back. read more

Really yummy food for a good price. Ordered the barbecue bacon cheeseburger with fries and was enough to fill me on an empty stomach. Their beef is 100 percent grass fed (says on the front) which was nice to know. Beef patty was a little dry and I should've asked for less barbecue sauce (per preference) but other than that it was very delicious! Would visit again. read more

This was some of the best "diner" food I have ever had. The menu was no help because everything looked amazing lol. I needed up getting the Chicken Fried Steak Skillet and it was HUGE! Lord above it was a lot of food. My Roomgay got the Arizona Chicken Sandwich and the sandwich was about the size of His face. Everything was hot and flavorful! The crust on the chicken fried steak was perfect!! And the sausage gravy was SO GOOD! I didn't care for the biscuit but that wasn't a big deal. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!! Prices can not be beat , the service is fantastic and the food ALL looked good! I'm here for three days and I want to stop in at least twice more! read more

Driving around one day and came upon the Red Rooster Cafe decided to give it a try. Immediately upon entering I was greeted by an older gentleman who greeted the entire family and told the family about the specials. Took a seat and the waitress came over immediately taking our drink orders. Daughter ordered a bean burrito and I ordered the chicken plate special. Omg the bean burrito was huge and flavorful. The chicken special was amazing and could feed two people easily. The atmosphere was amazing and the entire staff was super nice. read more

Another culinary triumph brought to you by the Greeks, genetically engineered to be the best restaurateurs on the planet. I had the chicken-fried steak and eggs, wife had a breakfast burrito that she'll have for breakfast AND lunch tomorrow. Loved the home fries, real wheat toast with a generous slathering of butter (OK, probably margarine but who cares?), crispy yet tender steak, etc., etc. Snappy service, huge portions, reasonable prices. If only I could figure out how to get them to emigrate to that culinary wasteland that is Brighton. read more

The French toast or simply amazing this has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in town I'm typically here at least once a week, I would honestly be here every day if I could. The staff is not only awesome but it seems like they also enjoy what they're doing. This is awesome because their attitude makes you want to come back! read more

The first restaurant I dined at after moving to Denver, Red Rooster Cafe consistently delivers! Portions are huge and prices are more than fair. I've never had a bad meal here. Service is great! read more

I met a buddy at this nice little greasy spoon diner for breakfast about a month ago. He had the biscuits and gravy, I had a breakfast burrito. Here's the scoop: The service was excellent. We both agreed the portions were huge, the quality of both dishes was great, the coffee was serviceable, and the prices were fair. A win for the team all the way. read more

We got there for brunch and everyone who came in before us got served first. They took sooo long to bring food and when it came out it was cold and the potatoes had to go omg I will never be returning here... read more

Had lunch there today, my daughter found metal in her food and the owner compt our meal and told us not to come back. What great management

Good, but greasy. For real this is a good diner. The foods not healthy. Everything's fried. If you're okay with that the execution is well-done. The TV was on a loop of a copper cook-ware infomercial; that was a bit strange. We had a pleasant experience. The service was fast enough and the prices were reasonable. It was very conveniently located close to the Denver Merchandise Mart. I would return, but I will pay for it in the gym. read more

Just happened to see the breakfast burrito sign on my way home from work so I decided to check it out this morning and let's me just say.. WOW. Super friendly staff first of all, and the breakfast burrito was fantastic. I'm not a big green chili guy and I'm glad I opted out bc I would've hated for it to take away from the taste of that burrito by itself. Walked in there a little after 730 and was out the door in 5 minutes with a fresh and piping hot burrito. Would absolutely recommend giving it a try you will not regret it!! Thank you!!! read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch (closes at 2). Great food and friendly and efficient service. Great selections on a varied menu. A "must try" next time your on the north side of Denver! read more

Good little greasy spoon. Had the turkey Avocado sandwich. It was excellent. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The menu is quite extensive with lots to choose from. Prices are reasonable. Definitely would return. read more

I was looking for a breakfast place, found this and as soon as we got inside the service was perfect the food was really good aswell and I would not miss out on the chicken fried steak and eggs. The steak has gravy on top and the steak is very soft, the eggs are perfect and fluffy. This is definitely the place to go when you have an empty stomach. read more

The Red Rooster Café has quickly climbed to my favorite breakfast and lunch diner. The friendly staff and tasty food make it a highlight of my weekends. It's nice to have a place to go eat breakfast and read my book in peace and quiet. I highly recommend the skillets, especially the Texas Skillet (I think that's what it's called). As of today, I've risen to the bring-the-coffee-and-water-without-being-asked level. :) read more

Amazing Family home cooking restaurant. Awesome food, great staff. Bring an appetite your gonna need it. Hidden Gem for sure

I have been to north location several times but this was first at this location. Service was excellent and food was great and plentiful!! Great place for good home cooked type food. read more

My husband said "No mas" when asked if he wanted more coffee. We are English speakers, he just happened to say it that way. The server went off on a tirade saying you speak English to me! This is America! This happened. I will absolutely never go back. In addition the food was awful. The beans were old, the rice cold, and the green chile thin and tasteless. read more

Thank God that Stockyard Saloon was closed (because THAT makes business sense, to close on the weekend)!!!! Red Rooster cafe was my second choice. When you walk in, you will feel like you are on the set of a dated movie. Or maybe you'll feel like you are in some remote town in the middle of the desert. Who knows what YOU will think about this place but I will assure you that there is no other place, operating in the same general "space" that can compete with the burgers that you will get from here! I ordered the Arizona burger (not on the menu, but it's the Arizona Turkey sandwich but with a burger). The burger is enormous, all beef 1/2 patty, avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato, pickle, onion, and lettuce with fries. You would think that's enough...but you'd be WRONG! Of all the amazingness that I listed, it's there BUNS that have captured me. And I'm not referring to the waitresses! Their homemade buns are thin but rich in flavor and texture. Overall, the burger is huge, but I wanted a bite of bun with each trip that this burger made to my mouth! Lastly, the staff here is great. If you don't like, some 50 something mother-figures calling you "honey", "babe", "sweetie", and "darling", this isn't the place for you...and WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!! Can't wait to come back to this side of town so I have a reason to come back here! read more

Overall, a pretty good experience. The servers and cashier were extremely friendly and it was a full house at lunch on a Thursday. Lots of locals frequent this place and the hearty portions reflect the needs of the hard working clientele. Truly terrific portions; I'm talking serious plate coverage on gigantic plates. I had a tuna melt served with pickles (I can't get enough of these at diners; I really like trying them everywhere) and it was tasty--the fries, however, were disappointing. They came out looking like the amazing boardwalk fries I'd grown up on in Ocean City, Maryland but they were limp, soggy and quite a bummer. I found myself scrounging for the smaller fries which had retained some crunch. SV had the "Big Fat Greek Plate" which had chicken, pork and a shaved meat which I will assume was the lamb log that is apparent in many kebab houses. It was delicious. Lots of red peppers, onions, olives and two tubs of spicy yogurt sauce to spread on the included pieces of pita bread. Her meal also included the lackluster fries which were summarily ignored as well. We'll have to go back and see if the fries were a fluke--there's lots to try on the menu so I'm sure I'll find something else I like. There was also an assortment of pies and cakes there. Maybe we'll come by for dessert sometime... read more

It's a little off the beaten path (unless your path happens to be I-25, north of the city), but it's worth the drive. We hit it up on the way to the Hammond's Candy Cane Festival (HOLY COW WHAT A CLUSTER-EFF), and it was-- by far-- the best part of the excursion! The portions are a little obscene. As in, HUGE. As in, you'll be eating them for at least two meals, possibly three. But the food is reasonably priced and damn tasty. I had the Shooting Star Skillet, and it was amazing. The herbed cheese (think that Boursin stuff you spread on crackers) really added a nice twist to what would have otherwise been a basic diner offering. I always order my eggs over-medium, and you'd be shocked at how many places can't get this simple request right. Red Rooster nailed it: the whites totally solid and a little crispy on the edges, the yellow soft and oozy, but not runny or watery. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food came out pretty quickly. The one thing they do need is a couple more high chairs. This is totally a family-style place, but they've only got about three of them. Just a suggestion! read more

Some people love a challenge. Humans are driven to conquer their surroundings. We have scaled the highest mountains, dove on wrecks as deep as the Titanic, traveled faster than sound and set foot on the moon. This morning I had someone running late for a meeting and when I asked where I could grab a bite, was directed to the Red Rooster. When someone suggests a place to eat with that semi-intoxicated, dreamy, contented smile, I listen! Upon entering, I first noticed that despite the location in an industrial area, and the slightly worn appearance of the building, the interior was spotlessly tidy. Cleanliness is critical with food! I have been craving a good breakfast burrito, so I ordered the Rooster. After the four servers had joined in heaving this titan onto my groaning table, I dove in! Let me tell you, this bacony, hammy, eggy, tatery, cheesy monster smothered in a green chili just spicy enough to make my tastebuds shout "Arriba!" and start dancing the merengue around my tongue just took first place as best breakfast burrito ever and placed the Red Rooster Cafe into my top five Mom -n- Pop stops all in one shot! Do yourself an indulgence and stop by! read more

Red Rooster Cafe - Chili burger and fries. - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I'm always a BIG fan of diners so finding this place just off the interstate was amazing. Stepped in and the place was very busy. All tables full. The food selection is wide and I spent 15 minutes just finding what to eat. Mainly because there was pictures on the menu and everything looked way too good. The waitstaff was extremely friendly, gave plenty of time to read the menu and we never felt rushed. I asked my server her opinion on what to get and she said the Arizona Turkey Avocado sandwich. She made the perfect recommendation. The sandwich was bigger than my face. Piled high with thick cut bacon, lots of slices of Turkey meat, and a nice avocado made this a real meal. It was knotty 11$ and I could barely finish half of it. The French Fries were very crisp and hot so I loved the mixture. Overall it was a fun atmosphere and I'd definitely return to try breakfast next time! read more

Ok, I am about 30 days into the New Year and have found myself sticking to my healthy eating habits until now. I fell off the wagon, but am not beating myself up over it:) About 10 of us were going to the Motorcycle Swap meet and on we met here for breakfast before hand. I had never been here before, and pulling in I felt there were a lot of cars and worried that we would have a wait. Fortunately you can just the place by the cars on the outside, as was pretty sizeable in the inside. Our friends were already there and so we sat right down. They were super accomodating and nice. The breakfast selection was a good variety, and I selected to go with Pigs in a Blanket... others had waffles, and biscuits and gravy... and all the dishes were HUGE... especially, the blueberry pancakes with oatmeal... they were gianormous!! It was good food. What you would expect from a cafe... and since I walked around for about 4 hours after, I didn't feel AS bad for eating so much yummy breakfast food that morning!! Busy, busy place... but friendly atmosphere. read more

Huge portions and excellent customer service! Highly recommend especially if you are hungry!

My son and I stopped for breakfast before a day at Water World. Portions are hearty and the food is typical diner food. Pancakes were good, eggs were right, biscuits and gravy were o.k. too. Nothing worth making a special trip for, but if in the area and hungry, worth a visit. read more

Guy from DDD would love this place as it's divey and in a commerce city strip mall. This isn't a dainty brunch joint. Rather, it's blue collar diner food with a Greek owner. You will get absolutely stuffed with everything you are not supposed to be eating. A meal here should come with a gym membership. I'd hate to point out some bargains as the place is already packed and needs not more attention from Yelp. Or go there fore lunch/dinner and let me be. read more

Wow, go here with an empty stomach!! The food was amazing, comfort food. Everything was fresh and hot and delicious. The portion size is for giants! We had so many leftovers that we needed 3 boxes! The staff was so so friendly and made us feel right at home and welcome. I'm from the south and felt like I was back there when I was in here. No frills kind of place that is kid friendly and has amazing food. We went on a tour of the candy factory right before we went here so we didn't have to go fat(it's right next door) I will definitely be making this a place to bring guests when they come and visit. Great food at a great price! read more
