Atmosphere is awesome, great diner vibes. Never had an off day at Pete's. Burger is great, the greek salad is great. The wait staff is always prompt, sweet, and attentive. 10/10, Denver staple.

Watchin the flies play "merry-go-round" on the gyros meat is a little disconcerting. People who love love love this place are more sentimental than realistic. I wasn't best friends with Pete but we knew each other and I liked him. Even had drinks with him and some of the 'boys in blue' at the Satire a few times in the mid-80s. But some folks ideas that this place has 'gone downhill' since his death aren't dealing in reality. It wasn't ever all that much. We'll call it three stars for nostalgia. Uninspired, Colfax-level diner.

The fried chicken plate, although hefty, was mediocre. The chicken was not all that flavorful and also dry. The biscuit though with butter and jam hit the spot!

I usually don't bother with Yelp reviews but this needed to be shared. Steuben's is a staple in…read moreDenver and has always been excellent until our latest visit. My wife and I stopped into Steuben's to have a snack (donut holes) and a couple of rounds of cocktails. We used the Dining Out Passbook for BOGO cocktails with purchase of food. Our bartender (who was perfectly friendly and helpful) said he needed his manager to get the free cocktail. To be clear, we had literally no interaction with this woman at any point. So it's not like we did something to piss her off. When she arrived at the POS station - behind the bar about six feet from where we were sitting - she proceeded to complain about the "a-holes" (edited for language) using the Passbook and what a bunch of a-holes those customers were (not knowing we were in earshot). And when the bartender - who knew who we were and that we could hear everything - said in a hushed tone "No, they were nice" she proceeded to tell him that she didn't care and that they're just a-holes. I've never been treated so shoddy in my life in a restaurant for no other reason than using a promotional discount that they voluntarily participated in. It's bad enough to attack your customers for using a discount. But doing it behind the bar where customers can hear you is beyond unacceptable. And doing it when the customers you're talking about are within earshot is the most offensive thing I've ever expereinced at a restaurant. You may go to Steuben's and have a nice meal, but just be aware that behind the bar, they're talking about what an a-hole you are.

The food was great too. The potatoes were a little too hard/crunchy for my personal taste, but the flavor was really good. I also loved the design of the restaurant. There's so much natural light, and the whole space has this retro-modern, hip feel that I really liked. It's also inside The Rally Hotel, which is beautiful on its own. Walking through definitely made me want to come back and actually stay there one day. Such a cool breakfast/brunch spot and overall experience in Denver.

The aesthetic extends to the interior, complete with old school coin-operated jukeboxes. I'm a huge fan of breakfast food and diners, so my expectations were already high; Rosie's delivered. This is the spot for delicious omelettes and milkshakes wrapped in yesteryear nostalgia. If I lived in the Denver metro, I would make this a regular weekend spot. I'm certain many in Colorado are well aware, but I extend the recommendation to my fellow out-of-towners. Have a cup of cofffee, omelette, and maybe a milkshake; you might leave stuffed full, but not upset. I enjoyed a Greek Omelette and a cup of coffee while my wife ordered biscuits and gravy. Prompt service and warm dishes, a great morning prep for the long drive ahead. Stop by if you're in the Denver area. I wouldn't mind another meal the next time we end up in Colorado.

While this joint isn't fancy, they are doing it right. Reminds me of my childhood days when you could take the whole family out to eat for less than $30, and you're eating GOOD! The cinnamon roll is a must-get. The roundhouse meal was fantastic. The chef even came out to make sure we were enjoying everything. Old-fashioned pricing and hospitality FTW! While this place looks like a hole in the wall (and it may be), it's truly worth the visit. You'll find classic, homey vibes with great food at truly unreal prices for this day and age. I'm not sure why this spot has any negative reviews. I guess people would rather overpay for worse food at some other hipster Denver spot than support this great local business!

I actually spotted Butcher Block Cafe while we were driving to where we were staying because it had…read morethat classic little hole in the wall look that I always end up loving. Later I asked AI to find me a great breakfast spot that wouldn't break the bank, and this place was the number one recommendation. Holy shit... this is one of the best breakfasts, if not the best breakfast I've ever had. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The pancakes were warm, fluffy, and so good they honestly had me wanting to come back every single morning. They're also famous for their homemade cinnamon roll, and now I know why. It was absolutely massive, covered in butter, and did not dissapoint. The real secret star though is the breakfast burrito. Stuffed with meat, eggs, hash browns, and cheese, then topped with their homemade green chili gravy. Holy moly... that gravy is a work of art. I don't even know how to describe it other than I wanted to drink it. The flavor is unbelievable. I ended up eating breakfast here every day of our trip, which is something I literally never do while traveling because I like trying different places. Now here's the crazy part... the prices. This place feels like home and the prices match. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw breakfast this affordable. It feels like stepping back 10 or 15 years. Five people could have a filling breakfast here for about what two people would spend at First Watch or a lot of the trendy breakfast places. The staff was friendly, the food came out fast, and the whole place just has that comfortable local diner feeling that is getting harder and harder to find. Overall, I'll be eating here every single time I visit Denver no matter how far out of the way it is. This place is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend way too much time trying to recreate that green chili gravy at home... I already know I won't get it right, but I'm gonna try anyways.

The Reuben Report My…read morefirst venture West of the Mississippi for a Reuben tasting. Sam's No. 3 is a colorful Denver location and an interesting cross between classic East Coast Greek diner and Sports Bar. The super long menu ranges from extensive breakfast choices (pages!) to burgers and sandwiches, tacos and burritos and steaks, chops and fish. Don't skip the Mexi-Rado Grub menu page's Pork Barbacoa Tacos -- which were enough food to split and a very tasty item. My second visit brought me to my main event: the Reuben. Served on marble rye grilled with the sandwich, the corned beef was thick and the Swiss resided on both sides of the sandwich. Sauerkraut was extremely light and didn't lend to the taste at all. That was a disappointment. The meat was thicker sliced but not the thickest. The stack was generous. The quality was so-so as during my visit it was a bit fatty, making for a chewy experience. The Thousand Island dressing was lightly applied and didn't account for much. Overall, this sandwich was a bit disappointing. Not terrible mind you, just that there was room for improvement. The pickle could have strolled right out of Manhattan. It was great. The side substitute of tomato, feta and cucumber was tasty and a nice finish. My cocktail was a rye old fashioned made to perfection by Elise. I had a second since walking from here. A solid 3.5 sandwich. Ambience 4.0 Service 4.5. An overall 4.0 experience - saved by the tacos. I would return --if only to try out the breakfast menu. The Reuben Report. We never met a Reuben we didn't like ......almost.
