Ever since my favorite diners in Denver closed, I hadn't been to a classic diner atmosphere. I was so thrilled to try this breakfast diner, and we had incredible food. They are known for their hot cakes, which are pancakes. Made with buttermilk they have that slate tanginess that I really love in a pancake. Serve served with the soft butter and hot syrup, I was in heaven eating these pancakes. As if it wasn't perfect enough, I also ordered the enchilada skillet, which was a generous portion served in a cast-iron skillet with two small pieces of English muffin on the side. When it comes to green chili, I tend to be pretty picky, but this was very good. I absolutely cannot wait to go back to the diner for breakfast again. read more

This was a recommended place and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent. We had a large group and were treated so well, a down to earth kind of place. The restaurant was busy, naturally for a weekend mid morning but in a way that carried a chill vibe. The food was yummy, just an all around great experience. I had left overs. Good portion sizes. Had to add the early Colorado pictures. Excellent touch! read more

First time at this location. Pretty cool area and setup. Not very much noise, or chatter. Food was delicious I had the skillet with potatoes, eggs, cheese, gravy, and sausage with happy little English muffins. Perfectly toasted. Overall impressed with everything this place had to offer. 10/10 solid breakfast place. read more

What a warm friendly inviting place for breakfast! I loved the black bean benedict - the green chili had a great flavor with a punch of spice. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I'll definitely stop by here next time I'm in the area. read more

This is a very well known local breakfast spot I have not been to in years. I'm not sure why as it's very near to my house. There is plenty of parking and the building is clean and well maintained. The service was fantastic and Yoana went out her way to make us feel welcome. She was always smiling and did a wonderful job. Our food came out within ten minutes and it was, fresh and well prepared. My custom ordered omelette was made just as I requested. I like the family feel and the ode to the Broncos. It's a very light hearted place with great food. The decor is fun but not overwhelming. read more

Classic diner with big servings and hot coffee. Can't miss with an order of their pancakes and scrambled bowls.

I happened to be in the area and just wanted to enjoy a breakfast at any early hour on a weekday. I'd rather try something local than the Denny's nearby. It's your quintessential greasy spoon. Food was sufficient, good sized portions, and server was very kind. read more

Fresh food and very well cooked. Would recommend this place and very well priced. Great service

Never have I ever sent back a dish and I had to do it twice. My first dish was the "Favorites" eggs Benedict but it was far from mine. it was way too salty and butter fat was separating from the hollandaise sauces and paired with the ham I couldn't bear to handle all the sodium. Do better on the hollandaise sauces. It didn't take a Gordon Ramsey to know that the dish was unappetizing. After voicing my complaints they got me another dish and I just went with the basic breakfast and although the potatoes and bacon was good how can you mess up the eggs? I ordered over medium and the whites should have been fully cooked through and a little slimy in the middle but they weren't. The server took off my meals and charged me for my girlfriend's basic breakfast and both coffees. That came out to $21.47 before tip! For a diner that is outrageous. They catered to the older demographics. I was really wanting this place to be good since I'm in walking distance but I probably won't be going back. read more

While this place is a staple in west Denver, I had never been there before when my boyfriend took me there for breakfast. Most of their dishes have a distinct Mexican flair. I have loved every dish I've tried there. The food is super fresh and served piping hot. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is cordial. I have never had a bad meal! Try this--you will love it! read more

Hey Sunrise Sunset It's a damn shame, but I've lived right next to this diner for a year and five months, and didn't know it would taste so good I had no idea it was gonna taste this good! Now that I know, I'm definitely gonna be coming by a lot more. I like to check out pictures of what I'm ordering, but honestly, just looking at what other people have ordered helps me figure out what's good. Can't wait to dig in more often! read more

Food was really really good! Very flavorful not much heat but good sized portions. Restaurant felt like retirement home cafeteria but staff was super friendly and fast service! As long as ambience isn't an issue definitely worth the drive to try. No wait on Sunday morning for a party of 6 rare to find!! read more

Spinach omelet and chicken fried steak and eggs both amazing, we'll be back !! Potatoes good, coffee fresh, service excellent

Instead of putting a sign up on the internet or yelp they have a big sign on the door they are charging $1.00/entry for eggs. Prices have come down. When we asked if they were still charging she said yes and if we didn't like it to go to Walmart. Wow. Goodbye read more

I enjoyed the first impression of the dining area; and was relocated to the back of the restaurant where my gf and I were forced to sit in the glaring sun. The pancakes, eggs, and potatoes were the highlight. Apple cider was great too. read more

My friends and I had a baby shower in the area but wanted to get breakfast before. This place was amazing. Everything we got we completely devoured and were pleasantly surprised with how delicious everything was! read more

There is a lot of change in the world, so it's wonderful to go to a place where the quality of your meal has not changed. The hollandaise sauce is such a great addition to any dish. The staff is efficient and thrives on busy mornings so don't let the parking lot intimidate you. The coffee is great. The Benedict's are great. The portions are good size and most dishes can be shared. The restaurant is larger and more comfortable inside than appears on the outside. read more

Restaurant was very clean and the service was great! Food was very good. Would definitely recommend!

The lumber omelette was just okay. The sausage and green chile were not spicy at all in my opinion. I was expecting spiciness since that was in the description. The potatoes were tasty, and the English muffin with strawberry jam was great! The service was good. My dad liked his country omelette. read more

ordered a meal that come out of the oven. waitress did not say to be careful the dish is hot. i took hold of the handle to turn the dish and burnt my hand. waitress should have told us that the dish just came out of the oven. kitchen should have told the waitress the the dish was hot and to be careful. i assume the waitress did not know.............i told the waitress........ food not that good anyway. read more

We are from Arkansas. We met Denver friends there and had a wonderful breakfast. Fast service and great prices

We've eaten here twice in the past week, and both times it was a 5 star experience. This is a nice, cozy, breakfast spot. The kitchen puts out wonderful, perfectly cooked comfort food. I had the pancake "2+2+2" dish, which is pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Both times, everything was cooked perfectly and tasted like homemade, especially the pancakes. Also, I got blueberry pancakes, and they used real blueberries (not the little frozen ones). The service is attentive and prompt. We never had to wait or flag anyone down - they strike a nice balance between being available without being intrusive. Two big thumbs up! read more

Amazing hollandaise, I had a Colorado Omelette (Benedict Style). A must try with excellent service.

Fabulous option for breakfast. Great service and good food. We were here on a Monday morning around 9, so there was no wait and plenty of tables. We ordered a couple of breakfast skillets. And, boy, do they know how to do a skillet right!! I ordered a half portion Vegetarian Sunshine (tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and peas). My husband ordered a Regular size Sunshine (includes ham, plus the other items) and it was very heavy that he couldn't finish it. The main difference between the half portion and regular is 1 egg versus two and slightly smaller portion overall. The eggs were perfectly basted with the yolk runny. The skillets were awesome and we'd easily go back again for breakfast. read more

It's a quaint old school diner with some very decorative booths, at least the one we sat in was visually delicious. My wife and I stopped in for a simple small breakfast before church and we were seated promptly and had friendly service. We opted to share a meal due to a lack of overall hunger and we chose a breakfast classic the 2x2x2. 2 cakes, 2 eggs, and 2 slices of bacon for $9.99. The waiter asked if we wanted french toast or pancakes on our order, which came as a surprise option to us so we opted for the french toast. I personally love french toast and love trying it at the breakfast establishments I visit. The food came out in good time and was good, the bacon was too crispy for my wife's liking but I enjoyed it thoroughly. The French toast was an interesting shape but that had no affect on the flavor. The eggs were middle of the road but not underwhelming for what we expected. My wife said the coffee was not that good and thus didn't drink more than a few sips. My issue with our experience came with the delivery of the check. I need to qualify my following statement by saying I did not bring this up in the moment as it ultimately only a few dollars and we didn't have time to stay and hash it out. I was confused when I saw our bill was $17 when all we ordered was a single, relatively small meal, and a single order of coffee. Looking back at the menu and comparing it to our check I noticed a discrepancy. The meal on the menu is listed as $9.99 but the meal on our check was listed as $13 with no notation of an up charge for sharing the meal or for a french toast substitution. Those were my first two assumptions of why it would be more, which are normal practice in plenty of places, however, my issue arises with the fact that we were not informed of a potential up charge either for having french toast subbed on this meal or for sharing. I am perfectly fine with charges like this, my issue always is with management of expectations in the form of transparency about additional charges for certain things. Our experience was overall good and the food was good. I believe in trying places more than once to build a better understanding of how good they actually are or aren't. I would come back for a full regular breakfast to try one of their many good sounding options on their menu. Definitely worth checking out for yourself and making your own determination. read more

I met my family here for a late breakfast. We all ordered a different plate and the frittata was by far the best. Although the food arrived hot, my Sunrise special was ordinary and the chicken fried steak was bland. The saving grace was the fantastic staff. With so many great places for breakfast, I doubt that I'll return. read more

They have redone this restaurant and it looks very nice. My husband thinks they have the best pancakes in town. The cinnamon roll is also very good. I haven't found anything there that I like. The waitress wasn't as attentive as she could of been. Overall it's close to us to eat and the food is decent. read more

Update: Came here again in 2022 after years of being away. Delicious food, big portions, great value and super-friendly service. Can't beat this place for breakfast. read more

It's ok. Kinda hole-in-the-wall type of place. The food is "meh," the service is good and friendly. Some may like the food more than I, but I'm in the take it or leave it camp. Not my first choice, but maybe in a pinch. read more

My family and I came here on a breakfast binge. We decided to try something different as ihop has started to take its toll. My parents ordered the country fried steak and a plate that brought the usual breakfast items. My wife ordered pancakes with scrambled eggs and I ordered the 2x2x2. One thing I want to get out of the way before the review is that it really sucks that they don't have hash browns. If they had some with the potato they have, then I definitely believe they have a star in their menu. Now onto the the food! The country fried steak was pretty nice. Crispy and juicy with an interesting taste from the gravy. Potatoes were nice crispy. They were juicy as I bit into one, which was honesty surprising and refreshing! My wife personally loved the English muffin with their amazing jelly. The eggs were amazing. I always have trouble when it comes to eggs being made as each spot seems to mess them up some how. Too rubbery or overcooked. But this spot, absolutely nailed it on the head. They were perfectly cooked, melted in my mouth and had a delicious taste. Ketchup, at least for me, gave it an amazing combination! Now the star of this review is the pancakes. These buttermilk pancakes are,by far, one of the best pancakes I have ever tried. They were soft, hot and and amazing in taste. The syrup came out hot as well, which gave it the home feeling I love! If you plan on coming and buying anything, then get the pancakes! Overall the service was quick and friendly.The food fulfilled my breakfast craving and the pancakes hit home! Would recommend giving it a try! read more

Food and service were great. I highly recommend the pancakes or any of the Benedict's. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome food, so tasty and huge quantity, it's nap time after that meal Eggs Benedict with a huge slab of Canadian bacon. My wife's scrambled eggs were a huge hit, not sure what they do to them , she added cheese but overall great taste. Quality food for a great price, wish I would of tried this place before this. read more

I can't stress this enough, they have the best breakfast in Colorado. My whole family has been going there a LONG time, and it's always amazing. I even got my wife hooked for life! The portions never get smaller, the food is consitant, and the service is excellent especially Chelsey! What more can you ask for?! Yes the prices go up and down, but that's because they use REAL ingredients. If you want a good fufiling breakfast, Come here! read more

I'm not from this state so don't know what's good to eat in the area. Thought this place would be decent but I was a little mistaken. The service was great and the people were nice but I was disappointed with the food for the price. Spent $40 total ($6 tip) on this and a mimosa.. Maybe it is different because we needed it to be a to-go order but $40 for this?? Tasted mediocre in all honesty. Just saying it was not worth it. read more
