    Famous cinnamon roll. (Not my photo, I was too hungry to take any)

    This was the 3rd time I visited this little dinner. I grew up on small town dinners food, and this is a gem for sure. The grilled cheese with ham....OMG and the fries......ooo lordy. The bacon cheese burger, cottage cheese, omelets, and hashbrowns.... man, this place really hit the spot. Lovely staff, quick service, and everyone is so friendly. It's a local favorite for sure!

    Cinnamon roll is great

    I am a lover of greasy spoons and I LOVE this greasy spoon more than most! The fantastic homemade sweet roll was the perfect starter to the lightest biscuits I have ever tasted. The white gravy with smoky sausage was very good, but the biscuits were life changing! The endless cup of coffee have me endlessing running to the rest room the rest of the day, but that's on my not my attentive firecracker of a waitress, who never let the bottom of my mug see the light of day. The prices are ridiculously low, especially for the quality and portions provided. I look forward to getting back and continuing to work my way through their menu.

    This fantastic old school diner has been in the same family for 30 years, but goes back at least 40 years prior. Always a restaurant , the austere diner decor hasn't changed since about 1955. White counters, high ceiling and aquamarine counter stools. A big chalk board with daily specials. Wednesday, announced by the hand written sign , is "BAKED CHICKEN DAY!" But its the enormous breakfasts and giant ""blockbuster burger" that makes this blue collar Globeville business so popular. The burger is hand formed and delicious, unfortunately the boxes announcing pre-cut frozen fires were there for me to see. That's a shame because hand cut fries would take this place over the top! Next time you're zipping along I-70 jump off at Washington and head north a few blocks and seek out this little gem.

    They have a variety of diffrent foods.

    Me and my husband went to try a new place on our way back home. Our waiter and the hole staff were super freindly. Our food came out fast and hot. Only thing we didnt like was that we didnt know we had to ask for cheese on the philly cheese steak idk if the cook forgot but it was diffinitly wierd. But everything was good.

    Half a round house, two egg breakfast and 2 slices of French toast.

    The ultimate score when my boyfriend brought me to this diner a few years ago!! The entire menu is delicious and cheap in price. I eat here about once a week and my boyfriend 3 to 4 times a week. The entire staff is friendly, including the cook who goes around to every table if there's a break in his day to make sure you are satisfied and to help clean tables. Now I tell everyone about it. The French toast is my favorite!! Who've they serve all weekend long and typically until 11 during the week.

    By far the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was all potato. No egg or cheese to be found, not to mention the complete absence of meat. For the price of almost $10, this was very disappointing. I couldn't even finish it. When I called them to complain, they told me that there was nothing they could do.

    It's hard not to like this working class cafe. The food is all great. The service super friendly and it's like going back 30yrs when you step inside. And bonus is the prices feel like they are throwback as well. No paying for fancy decor or additions that jack up the price of the food. Love this place.

    Adorable real diner atmosphere.  Very friendly service.

    You must come and eat here! Make sure to bring an appetite. They do offer smaller portions but you won't want them. This food tastes so good you will want to wear your sweat pants. Their cinnamon roll and butter is to die for. I have never had hash browns like my Grandmother used to make. I even forgot what they tasted like. They nailed it. Adrianna was our waitress. She's so friendly, she not only treated us as family, but everyone that walked in. Adrianna is also multi lingual and on many occasions would speak Spanish to any native Spanish speakers. Adrianna sure knows how to make any one feel welcome wether it is there first time or there tenth time. Everyone is so welcoming, everyone is family here. When you stop in make sure and ask her about her grand baby that's 2 years old and lives in San Antonio. Diners Drive Ins and Dives needs to come here ASAP!

    Chad B.

    This is our second time here this week. We love this place. Adrianna was our waitress both times and she is amazing and great to talk to. The cook comes out and talks with you to make sure the food is great. The cinnamon rolls are huge and delicious! Awesome place for breakfast and lunch!

    I was introduced to the amazing Horse & Tiger Cambodian cuisine at a Cambodian New Year event where…read morethey were grilling fresh for the day. The second they were ready to take orders, the line almost wrapped around the block. And it was well worth the wait. The crew was cranking out food as soon as they were ready -- zero breaks, all hands on deck -- to keep the line moving. Even though they were moving quickly, the quality wasn't sacrificed. Food was cooked throughly and tenderness was locked in. I got the Sample Platter: which consisted of char sui wings, sweet garlic pork spare ribs, sweet garlic chicken thighs and two sides (fried rice and pickled veggies). As a Cambodian American, this took me straight to my momma's cookout and to Cambodia's grilled meat street foods and restaurant. The full size chicken wings brought all the familiarity. Along with the tasty succulent chicken thighs, because we really don't do chicken breasts. And my all time favorite is Cambodian ribs -- they nailed it! It was so good I ordered a ton more to take home. I will definitely be making many trips in the future to their physical location. And keep an eye out for any event they'll be vending.

    We came here on a weeknight for a small reunion for out group as we were here for a conference. We…read moredid some brief research and learned that this was the only Cambodian establishment in the Denver area and definitely wanted to come support this place. We ordered the beef skewers, fries, fried noodles with veggies and shrimp, chicken numpang, beef, crab rangoons. The food was priced very very reasonably and everything we had was really delicious and authentic Cambodian food. The chicken skewers and beef were marinaded well and had a great flavor to them. The fries and crab Rangoons were generous and spiced well. The chicken numpang was unique, though not the sandwich we were expecting. Overall, the food was delicious and the owner very kind, putting in a lot of care in the food that he prepares and knowledge about the sourced ingredients. He has a good heart and cares about good food and community. Definitely give this place a try!

    I had a great experience with my girls here. I don't think there was anything that I didn't enjoy!…read more We started with Bread and ButterBear, Burrata, Seremoni Rockfish Crudo, Waygu TarTare. We then had the Crab Tagliatelle, Ricotta Agnolotti and Lamb Shank. For dessert, we had the Carolina Gold Rice Pudding and BearPop. The ButterBear was super cute and tasty. The bread was super soft! The Burrata was surprising with the chili crunch. It paired really well! The crudo was tasty as was the tartare. I really enjoyed the crispy Cheddar Crisps. The tangy, salty cheese from the crisp cut the fat from the tartare well. The pastas were both good. I could probably have eaten an entire serving of the Crab Tagliatelle myself, haha. I thought it was really yummy. I think my favorite part of the meal was dessert. The Rice Pudding was so good! The coconut milk, the miso caramel popped sorghum, and the rhubarb compote were such a lovely combination on the rice pudding. I want to go back just for that dessert! The BearPop was also delightfully refreshing! The passionfruit paired super well with the Black Garlic Salsa Macha. Sweet and salty is timeless. Service was wonderful! I would definitely come back!

It was someone trying too hard to over complicate flavors by mixing too much savory - sweet and forgetting sometimes good food is simply, good. Nothing was horrible, nothing memorable in a good way. Maybe stop trying so hard When best thing about the restaurant is their dinner roll and garlic butter, I don't see that as a good sign.

I just came for a few drinks and a slice of pizza which were a great price. They don't have table service so you just order at the bar, and they will bring the food to your table. Played some darts and had an awesome time. I definitely want to come here on a game night, seems like it would be a great spot to hang with some friends and have a good night. The only reason I took off one star is because it was freeze outside and the only thing they have are two small fire pits. They definitely should add in a few more for the colder months. Overall 4/5 stars and I plan on coming back! :)
