    Quesobirria Tacos and Eggs
    Colton R.

    This is the best food we had on our trip to Denver/Boulder. We ordered the chilaquiles and the special Quesobirria Tacos and eggs. We also got a side of green chili and the house potatoes. This food was unreal good. Extremely large portions, the food itself was perfectly (not overly) spicy, seasoned well, and just straight up tasty. This is a diner at the end of the day , and everything you can expect from a local diner will be here. The service was amazing, food delivered quickly, and it was crowded with the typical weekend diner atmosphere that I always look for when dining at these types of restaurants.

    Solid breakfast spot with the classics and reasonable prices. Diner feel with outdoor seating and a Mexican flare to their food/decor.

    Denver omelette with hash browns and mini waffles
    Jocelyn H.

    5/5! The food and service was great here. We got the breakfast burrito and Denver omelette. The omelette is a deal because it comes with two sides (I got the hash browns and mini waffles). If you can get any side, the mini waffles are a must. The serving size is great for the price. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were worried that there would be a wait on a Sunday morning and limited parking, but we were seated immediately. Overall, great experience.

    Mexican hashbrowns with added sides

    This was absolutely delicious. The green chili had a nice mild spice level and was rich and super flavorful. Eggs were done perfectly and the service was excellent. Good coffee. I added the veggies and beans as sides and it was great this way.

    Steak and eggs, my post run favorite!

    A 'hidden' true Boulder delight. Nothing fancy just good food and great service. And they have gluten free bread :)

    A 5-star diner. The menu is very good, the food is very good, they serve it quickly and the servers are top notch. It's a somewhat odd location, quasi industrial but, I'll come back whenever I can.

    Biscuits And Gravy

    When you forget to take photos of your food, that's how you know the food is amazing. I've forgotten to take many photos of our orders since our first visit last week, which doesn't occur very often. I guess it's safe to say we're addicted to the parkway cafe lol. I'm normally a creature of habit when it comes to my orders, but I've made it a point to try different items on the menu. The first visit I had eggs benedict and split it with a family member since we weren't that hungry. I thought we were going to get an extra plate to split it ourselves, so when it came already split into 2 portions, we were amazed. This was the first restaurant that's ever done that for us, and we truly appreciated the gesture. The following visits, I tried their Mexican hash browns, biscuits and gravy, and hobo omelette. Everything has been amazing so far and all the dishes are reasonably priced. I like how they give you a discount if you pay with cash vs a credit card--it's not much, but I'll take a discount any day! Highly recommend this cafe to anyone who's visiting or a resident.

We were greeted by a great hostess with an excellent sense of humor. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 at a round table that still had plenty of elbow room for all of us. Our server, Michelle, greeted us right away and provided recommendations on their coffee and drinks. She was energetic and fun - we loved her genuine interaction with us! The food came fairly quickly considering they were nearly full. I chose the cinnamon roll French toast (chef's kiss!!) and hubby had the basic breakfast. We shared our meals so we could each have something sweet and savory. My niece had the Heartland Skillet and said it was to die for! I don't think there was much on the menu where you could go wrong. And bonus - they offer a breakfast cocktail for 99 cents with an entree order. You can get up to 3. This is an excellent choice for brunch (service and food!) and we will return next time we are in Boulder!
