    The counter where you order

    Went here for breakfast after reading about it on Yelp, and glad I did. Tiny spot, like a hallway, but full of people. LARGE portions so bring an appetite. Best value is the pancake breakfast. Huge pancake with 2 eggs, sausage or bacon and toast. Visiting friends in Seattle when I came and found it. Most excellent !!!

    Denver Omelette

    Cute little place. Service was good. We had the pancakes and an omelette. I really liked the Denver Omelette. Pancakes were huge but ok.

    Well made meal. Friendly waitress. Quiet place to start the morning. Perfect portion sizes. Presentation was wonderful and appealing. Flavor, delicious.

    Kids' Belgium waffle.

    Food was good. Very small restaurant, which was just fine. Very quaint. I believe it's a "Mom and Pop" restaurant. Friendly service. They offer many breakfast staples. I would grade their food to be average. Available street parking.

    The Good Stuff: Quaint (max seating for 18 adults), classic car themed (lots of cool car photos), and the staff were polite and nice. The Not So Good Stuff: Waiter (older gentleman) needs hearing aids. I had to repeat everything he and my father-in-law said to one another because they're both half deaf. Secondly, the waitress delivered our food barehanded (no heat protection), and said, "Hot plate!" So, I immediately touched the room temperature plate, and the equally cool waffle. I'd have sent it back, but I was on a schedule. Luckily, the syrup was hot, and that helped mask the fact that the food was cold. Lastly, No Restrooms! Seriously???!!! No place to wash your hands in a restaurant ? How is that even a thing? Fortunately, I am a very prepared person, and I broke out my bottle of Purell. I will not be returning.

    Colby diner is a cute little quiet breakfast spot!. Mike makes a wonderful breakfast , we had the the eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. It was perfect! Bacon is the perfect amount of crispy and same with the hashbrowns. The place is small and holds 6 tables , but when you see Mike working in the kitchen and the love that goes into each meal, the little wait for food is not a bother! Would love to come back !

    We had originally planned to eat brunch at a nearby cafe but it was so crowded with no seats. A quick yelp search and we found this place- decided to give it a try and WOW. Firstly it's such a cute small diner with nostalgic pictures over. Second the prices are so reasonable. Third- the food is delicious!!! It's typical diner food but executed really well. The pancakes were SO fluffy. The bacon was high quality. And the hash browns were crispy tasty. My picky AF husband who's in the industry was amazed how tasty everything was. Lastly the service was great- so friendly. It's a husband and wife duo and he's back there doing all the cooking. He's also quite elderly so I was amazed he was back there by himself doing everything. What a great surprise. Loved it- a must try if you ever visit downtown Everett!

    Denver omelet

    Stopped here Saturday morning after browsing at Shack Artists Garage Sale. It was within walking distance and had good Yelp reviews. The is one of the few times where Yelp failed us. The restaurants was very small; only 6 tables (3 seats four & 3 seats two). The decor was nostalgic; the walls were covered with pictures of antique cars. Cook/waitstaff appeared to be husband and wife. We ordered the Denver omelet ($17) and Colby breakfast ($9). Living up to the "diner" name, the entrees were greasy. My hash browns were overcooked. The omelet had decent flavor but smothered in cheese. I watched the waitress make chocolate milk by adding Hershey's chocolate syrup to regular milk. It was nothing special. We can still feel the food in our stomachs 3 hours afterwards. Good to try once but not to return.

    I know I came here way back in the day, but it was a different location and I remember enjoying it…read more I fully anticipated ordering breakfast as it was 9 am, but after looking over the menu I opted for lunch. Now coming in it was a little awkward as you walk in and the counter is right by the entrance just like most restaurants, but there were no signs that said wait to be seated or seat yourself. After standing there for a couple of minutes I saw people grabbing menus and congregating to the register. I was waiting for someone so it worked out well. You order and then take your number or in this case a magic 8 ball to the table(so they know which order goes where). This location is much larger than I remember. It had a very eclectic ambiance. More or less different types of tables and chairs everywhere, but gave off a homey vibe. The people that were working were very pleasant. We both opted for water, in which they had a water station for you to fill a cup and sit down. After sipping my water I noticed the glass I had was chipped and cracked, a chard actually chipped off in my hand. I took it back up to the front and exchanged it. Probably not the best idea to have all of the glasses stacked on top of on another. I ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich, in which upon ordering they had to check if they were ready to serve that. I was lucky enough that they were, although I did have a back up plan. The turkey sandwich came out with a mixed green salad with a dressing I was not sure of, but was very refreshing. The turkey sandwich on sourdough was very flavorful and I was very happy with my pick. I would definitely come back here and try more things, although the Cajun sandwich remains on my mind. One of the better sandwiches I have had in a long time!

(gotta climb in the Wayback Machine for that gem!) I loved that I saw at least six versions of my childhood dining room table, which felt so nostalgically comfortable that I wanted to crawl under one with my coloring books and my chocolate milk. But I digress -- you're supposed to be reading my review. I decided that I was in the mood for grilled cheese and tomato soup, so that's what I ordered. The tomato soup is really amazing -- so fresh tasting and delicious. But the sandwich was next level nom-ness. I opted to get it on sourdough because it's the best for dunking into the soup. Totes 'lish (I just thought I would type like one of the cool kids!! In conclusion, I want to talk about the service -- ordering was fairly simple, and the varied menu made it exciting to know there are so many choices. You order in line and the incredible wait staff brings the food quite quickly. With the vibe, the service and all the things, I am definitely coming back.

I don't know why, but I was surprised to see this amazing eatery here. The menu has beautiful fresh produce centric appetizers, entrees, salads, and more. I wasn't hungry but wanted to buy a drink anyway. The staff was busy making food and serving another family. The staff appears to be multi-functioned covering the back and the front. One of them handed us menus. The inside is modest-sized, well filled with tables and chairs. There are some seats outside, too. The Drink: Wylde Berry Smoothie, $12 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Wild blueberries, marionberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana, agave Noted as having 'Tons of antioxidants and fresh flavors', this is one of the best smoothies in recent memory. It is thick with tons and tons of berries. I don't think I need the agave since the banana gives it the sweetness. Regardless, this drink was amazing. $12 seems like a lot, but considering what it has, I think it is a fair price. I am giving it 4 stars for now. I hope to return for their food items, too.

I can say we were all pretty disappointed in this place. The staff was the only positive that we took away from this experience. Both servers that we encountered were both kind and attentive. The drinks and food however totally missed the marks. We all started off with drinks 2 margaritas, a gin gimlet and a beer between the four of us. The margaritas were terrible, like I am not sure how they put them as a feature drink. They had zero jalapeños and also offered no spicy margarita whatsoever. My wife's gin gimlet tasted like straight up lime juice. All were complete misses. Next we moved on to the food where each couple ordered a dozen wings. The X's and O's( fries and onion rings) and we also ordered a wedge salad. The wedge salad came out and idk how it was marketed as wedge when it was a bowl of salad completely engulfed in dressing(closer to soup than salad). Next the fries and onion rings came out and I'm not usually a stickler for what things cost, but $17 for like 6 onion rings and a very sad plate of fries. We expected a bit more for what we ordered for the table. Lastly the wings. While the flavoring of the wings were good, they came out not too warm to the touch and biting into them they were cold on the inside. Concerned that we may get sick from uncooked meat they assured us that they were precooked and just dropped into the fryer to finish them off. To me it is concerning that though they were precooked and still missed on hearing them all way, you may need to have a chat with your kitchen. Both of the servers were on top of it and ran both dozens back to have our order recooked. Second time around they were hot and crispy with good flavor(although the garlic boom boom wings were missing one of the sauces the second time around). It didn't matter, we ate them and paid. Not sure we will put this on our revisit list. Maybe the burgers or flatbread were the way to go, but out of 3 menu items and even the drinks.... There needs to be much more effort to everything here...
