Got the beef and beans smothered lunch burrito and it's freaking good. I'd gladly be smothered if being smothered is this good. You can choose whether you want the burrito to be smothered in red sauce or the green pork chile sauce (of course you go for the green!). The beans and beef were tasty and the sauce added to the deliciousness. The service was, like the name, swift. I love it. They were super attentive, without making me feel rushed. You can watch them cook and hear them banter with one another since the kitchen is right there in the dining area and I love that. read more

The food at Swift is slammin! I went with my close friend on a Saturday morning after a very wild bachelorette party. Let's just say I had my sunglasses on the entire time we ate at the restaurant. Everyone at the restaurant was hella cool it is a Hispanic family owned business. Everyone there was phenomenal. They were really cool towards us. We got into a conversation with quite a few of the waitresses that all seem to be related. The restaurant was very well lit and extremely clean. I ordered the steak smothered in green chili, eggs, and hash browns with a side of Texas toast. My homegirl ordered Green Chili Fries . I honestly don't remember what else she ordered but her food looked delicious. She couldn't even eat it because she was hung over. I ate all of my food that I ordered because I was starving. Fantastic breakfast spot. I'm definitely going back again. read more

Old school diner near Denver Health in a funky art district has what you need to start your day. Met a friend here before my shift and was greeted as if I were family. I got a scramble smothered in meat-forward green chili sauce that I'd order again (though it could use more heat :-) read more

Need good food to cure your hangover or just a chill place to have good greasy food? Well this is the place! The waitresses were moving at the speed of light to get everyone feed and happy. I got the breakfast burrito and it was one of the best things I've eaten to cure my jet lag. read more

The food was good, especially the patty melt...everything hit the spot for a Saturday breakfast! BUT... What's gonna keep us coming back is the service, Antoinette is the greatest waitress in all the 56 United States, (Just kidding I know there's only 53 States!!) Because if her, we will be back!! read more

I scanned the bad reviews before trying this place, and unfortunately many of those complaints hold true. The service was friendly, but disorganized. I sat there for quite awhile before they had a huddle to figure out who was supposed to be serving me. And yeah, the smell in this place is disgusting. They really need to get their plumbing situation figured out. I did use the restroom, and the smell emanates from there, with the doors just standing wide open. And the men's at least is an absolute horror show. Unspeakable. If I'd used it before ordering I'd have walked out. I got huevos rancheros since they seem to be known for their chili. It all seemed fresh enough. If Denver has one unique food item it's pork green chili stew, and this is a passable version. A solid B effort; a little watery but decent flavor. Beans weren't refried but whole and plain, which I didn't mind. Potatoes were a little on the pale side, but cooked through. I like the interior - classic 70s diner. But the smell alone will keep me from ever going back. I'd give the food like a 3.75, but the reek knocks it right down to a 2. Oh, and it was $14, no sides no drink and before tip, so not cheap, either. read more

One of the BEST places for steak and eggs, been ordering it since mud 80's and it's a dose of nostalgia and a great place to be!

Came here in a whim because we were out of eggs, missing our days at the Breakfast King and looking for a simple breakfast, decent coffee and pancakes. This place has been around forever and now we know why- it delivered on all of the above requirements! Love the orange booths to boot (throwback to the king). Service was friendly, quick and accurate.I had the chicken fried steak and the hubs had the special- simple, sweet and satisfied!! read more

Food is decent but their service sucks! We sat over 20 minutes and never got water or acknowledged by the lady who sat us. There were 2 other servers handling tables around us, but we were ignored completely. When we left out of frustration, one server actually thanked us for coming in. Terrible service and not worth the time we took to go there. They've lost us and we will never recommend. Do better. If I could leave more negative reviews I would. This really pissed me off. read more

oh no no no....we are on vacation and visited this place and quickly found only one server and a cook doing the best they could. We actually felt badly for the server and I almost jumped in to help her as customers were not yet served and more people coming in. I found the there was a women and 3 men not bothering or knowing how to help the waitress that was throwing defeated signs all over the restaurant. 2 men showed up with what appeared to be some kind of authority and we thought Finally our waitress was going to get some much needed help. Nope they only walked around the back of the counter and then sat down and watch the entire process fail with no intervention. We are staying in downtown Denver only minutes away and we will not ever try venturing in here ever again. Food was just ok, I order Faye special based on yelp pics looks good. Steak was not seasoned and eating my shoe would have been easier. eggs and potatoes were not very well seasoned at all. My wife orders Mexican Omelet that had a green chili sauce that was very good so much in so I added her green chili to my entire plate because it lacked flavor. Oh forgot !!!!! They had to close the restaurant down (10 am Sunday) due to only one server ...smh read more

Swift Breakfast House - Put together a "Denver McGriddle" - a Denver omelette (made with green chiles) between a stack of pancakes - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Straight forward diner food. Good menu, fast service, fair prices. Hasn't changed since they opened which is part of the charm.

Definitely a hidden gem for breakfast in the Denver area. If you're tired overpriced avocado toast and want to get back to real American food I highly recommend this place. It's not for snobs, it tastes like the food your mother would make after a 12 hour shift. It's loud, its noisy, it's busy. It's everything an American diner should be. read more

We've been here once before and today we're extremely disappointed. Both my partner, and I found hair in both our plates. None of the staff cooking were wearing hair nets, gloves, etc. One of them was wearing a hat backwards which makes sense why we had hair in our food. We had our plates taken away and they took a long time to bring us new plates. I asked for them to remake me eggs, bacon and hashbrowns (since I thought it would be quick and simple )when I had originally gotten the super breakfast which was $11.40 and they were trying to charge us $11.25 for the remake. They then took a $1 after we brought it up to their attention! The small basic plate was the same price as the super breakfast. Then not to mention the service was not great... very disorganized and I get it was busy but we were barely attended to. Especially after we had hair in our food you would think we would be given priority but that was not the case. Very sad experience... we really wanted to like this place :( read more

Full menu breakfast place. Tiny joint but week run, very busy at peak times. Typical diner food

Omg...yes. First time, won't be my last. Stepping back into time everywhere here, the booths, the kitchen all open in the front, the staff was so nice and friendly. The Denver burrito was perfect. Thank you! read more

Wasn't looking for much, just classic diner fare. It still disappointed. Got the Mexican omelette. It supposedly has chorizo in it but the chorizo tasted more like hamburger than anything else. More disappointing, however, were the hash browns. Nothing better than some diner hash browns with your breakfast. These weren't hash browns, however. Just straight up potatoes. The food was edible, but that's about the best I can say about it. There are plenty of other options close by with way better food for a comparable price. read more

Swift Breakfast House - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Denver classic diner in the heart of Santa Fe Art District. They have all the classics but peking can be scarce.

We had an early flight to Denver and our group was starving. Swift breakfast house was perfect place to get breakfast. It's a cute little shop. Service was friendly. The standard breakfast fair was delicious. Eggs, thick bacon, quality flavorful sausage, and great fluffy pancakes. The hot chocolate was delicious. My husband got the breakfast burrito and he loved it. Someone else got the chicken fried steak and it was one of the best I've had. Perfect balance between meat breading and seasoning and cooked so well. The menu is extensive and can be overwhelming however we loved everything we had and the price is reasonable. We will definitely be back! Glad we stumbled into this place! read more

Friendly and amazing kind staff, long wait times for food but totally worth it. Even the coffee is great. I come here once a week with my partner to enjoy! read more

Great breakfast food and good prices. The bacon and hashbrowns are really tasty. More of a hole in the wall dive but still good food

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time ? Well if you want a quick trip with yummy food, fair prices, amazing waitresses and an authentic vibe this is the diner for you. I stopped in with a friend during our lunch break and fell in love with this place. The bright orange booths along with the menu on the walls is the perfect recipe that complimented the sweet girls that served us our meals. This type of diner is hard to find but I sure am happy we did. I will definitely be back to enjoy ! read more

This is definitely a "hole in the wall" kind of place which personally just isn't my vibe. There was no AC on a very hot day. Looks kind of run down.... But again, that's the vibe. Pancakes were decent and food was good. No non-dairy options which was disappointing. Good coffee as well. read more

Today my boyfriend took me here for breakfast after hearing a coworker say it had good food. Unfortunately right after being seated we noticed how horrible it smelled... the only way I can describe the smell is broken like a broken sewer line or rotting wet mop smell it was so disgusting. We stuck it out to at least see if food was worth it and it was not it was very basic and not worth sitting through that stank smell. The restaurant was not clean and bathrooms were disgusting. My boyfriend ordered big breakfast and I ordered smothered breakfast burrito. I suggest going to a chain like ihop or Denny's over this, at least they are clean and don't smell bad. We will not be returning. read more

Swift Breakfast House - Breakfast burrito smothered - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The owner and staff are rude and unhelpful. Looks dirty. Definitely don't waste your time there are plenty of local places with nice staff.

Took a very long time for food to come. I understand this is just a basic diner but food quality was very low. Tiny hockey puck hamburger patty they call "homemade". Toast was smeared in some kind of mystery weird looking yellow grease. Definitely not butter. Cinnamon role came out of a plastic wrapper, tiny flat thing probably came from dollar store!! Cutting quality like this is not the answer!! read more

Won't be back. Food was tasteless like literally no seasoning whatsoever. Just go to Pete's or delectable egg

If you're looking for a great, inexpensive breakfast with great service, come here. You will not be disappointed. I've been here many times over the years and always leave happy and full. The coffee could be a little stronger, but I'm a bit of a coffee snob lol. read more

We discovered this place during the pandemic and really tried to give it a shot. The prices were pretty good and the food wasn't bad. Through the heart of the pandemic we chalked the poor service up to lack of help. We stopped going about 3 months ago because of a TERRIBLE waitress believed to be named April. Just last weekend we decided to try it again to see if things have changed. Sadly, they are only worse. Our waitress was Tonya. We had to ask for sweetener for coffee twice, once when ordered, and again after it wasn't brought with the drinks. We placed our order quickly as we knew what we wanted. It took approximately 45 minutes to get our food!!! The first time Tonya returned to our table after placing the order was to drop off the food. Needless to say we had to request drink refills as opposed to good service, offering refills regularly. On top of a severely delayed breakfast, Tonya couldn't remember who ordered what. THERE WERE ONLY TWO OF US!!! Side orders were missing and had to be requested, but the delivery of the bill was certainly expeditious - it came with the missing side orders. That was the last time Tonya came to our table. Now before you assume that I am one of THOSE people who doesn't know how hard restaurant work is, let me assure you I do. I worked in several restaurants in different capacities in my past. I found that if you made the effort and were forthcoming with your customers, you could earn some grace. While we were eating our meal, a woman a few tables away asked about her order that was very tardy as well. The response from Tonya? "It's Sunday. It's how it is. You just have to accept it." She finished her coffee, put some coins on the table and left. I don't blame her one bit. Another table had their order delivered to the wrong table....TWICE. The disorganization on the front end leads me to worry about what's going on in the back end. Check out some of the other reviews for Swift's and you'll catch my drift. Trust me, skip this place. There are plenty of other greasy spoons in the metro area that do a far better job. read more
