    Watching and getting an idea of what to order next time.
    Vince L.

    Wow. What a find! So much energy! I am so glad that I got a counter seat. Got to order AND watch the process! I was given a menu and water quickly. I was watching what was being prepared and it all looked so good! I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with choices! Not a bad thing! I did order and chatted with a customer who is sitting next to me. They are regulars and also had wonderful suggestions for food! Unless you can eat 2-3 meals at once plan to come back! The place was hopping, the service was awesome, and the food was great. If you are looking for a breakfast spot this is the place!

    Love this place! I prefer this location way more than the one in north Loveland. Their shredded potatoes are the best in town

    Bacon Bleu Cheeseburger with Messy Chips!
    Christian C.

    This is my experience at the restaurant... Absolutely amazing experience and food! I had the ham Benedict and my husband had the bacon bleu cheeseburger with messy chips. The hostess and waitress were incredible! Inside was clean and smelled great, like a true diner. So food 5/5, service 5/5 and overall 5/5. This is a must do in Loveland!

    The Basic Breakfast - SO much food. Pictures doesn't do it justice but the biggest griddle biscuits and sausage patties I've ever seen!

    Traveling through Loveland & our local go-to spot was closed. We've eaten at Doug's Day Diner in Fort Collins many times & always enjoyed it so we decided to give the Loveland location a shot. Glad we did. The menu is pretty simple. Breakfast and brunch items (some unique) with a few burgers and salads. However, the taste is anything but simple. Really DELICIOUS food in good sized portions.. Our family of four got basic breakfast platters, biscuits & gravy and the southern sweet toast plate. Every meal was tasty and not a scrap of food was left over. The food is well cooked and served fresh at a good price. On top of that, we came in about 50 minutes before closing & still received 5 star, over-the-top friendly service from both waitresses the entire time. We will definitely be back when we travel through Loveland again!

    This is my kind of diner. Busy, crowded, loud, with a friendly and helpful staff, an amazing menu with BIG portions. I could even say TOO BIG, but that's a good thing. Came here a few times while working in Loveland. Every time a different order, and every time a great experience. Thanks Doug's Day Diner for the experience in Loveland!

    The Basic

    I'm from the southern US, and we do breakfast right. So when I walked into Doug's, I was a bit suspicious. Where are the grizzled veterans chain smoking in the corner? It's...clean? No grumpy server? This can't be a greasy spoon. Oh, but it is! Well, it's a delicious spoon. Food was cooked perfectly, service was great, and you got a lot of food for the price. The turkey green chili sausage was amazing, but the star of the show was the blueberry pancake. Holy cow. Doug's puts my meemaw to shame (sorry Meemaw)! Loveland, you have a treasure here. We really enjoyed it. Thank you!

    Mona omelette

    This was really good diner food. Huge portions. I had the Papas which was a base of hasnrowns and cheese and I got the asada and green chile. It had just a little heat and good flavor. Girlfriend got the Mona Omelette that had a lot of good thick cut bacon in it and a ton of chiles. It also came with a giant biscuit that was nice and crusty but also had a slightly sweet flavor. Highly recommend it if you just want really solid diner food with a big and varied menu.

    The pancakes are huge! I was torn between ham and bacon as my side dish, but I'm glad I chose the ham. It was incredibly juicy and surprisingly delicious. The hotcakes were tastefully fluffy, and the chocolate chips were a delightful addition.

    This place is in the heart of downtown Loveland and it's super freaking cute. It's definitely a diner setting and I love it. Our waitress and the staff were phenomenal couldn't ask for better service and smiles galore. The food was just absolutely fabulous. We ordered the funnel cake bacon and let me tell you it was perfect. The batter wasn't over fried nor chewy it was perfect consistency and then it parried perfectly w the syrup they brought. Then my meal i ordered I honestly couldn't tell You what I ordered cause I ordered whatever plate was walking by because it looked so freaking good. Basically what it was, was a crap ton shredded fresh potatoes smothered some sort of sauce then some of the most tender flavored beef tips I've ever had at a diner in my life followed by some over medium eggs and some jalapeños that were just the right spicyness when I tell you this plate was perfect and the best comfort food I meant it! I wish I knew the name of it! Come on Yelp help me out and correct me! Anyways this place is a must because the service, the food the location and the spot is just PERFECT if you don't try it YOURE missing out!

    B&G, Sweet Toast

    "Massive portions" is an accurate statement! Biscuits split, fried on the griddle, topped with sausage gravy and are huge and delicious. The sweet toast (French toast) was a huge portion and was also yummy. Our server was funny and attentive, & we got our food fast. Will recommend to my work guys who travel to Loveland.

    Eggs with biscuits and gravy

    I have really come to be very fond of this place. I have eaten here several times, and every time each thing I put into my mouth is delicious! This time I had the crispy bird. It was on delicious wheat bread with almonds, guacamole, perfectly grilled chicken with lettuce and tomatoes. Super tasty. I chose to have a salad with blue cheese. Salad full of tasty ingredients in a blue cheese homemade and delicious. Hobby got the daily special which was a club sandwich. Equally delicious with their crispy,Tasty french fries! The service is top notch, very attentive, and the place is clean and bright. Cool locally painted are on the walls for sale. I enjoy this place and for sure will be back. You should check it out.

    I heard from a friend that Epic Egg was really good, so my husband and I decided to give it a try…read more All I can say is--we will definitely be back! This was hands-down the best breakfast we've had in a long time. My husband ordered a skillet, and I had an omelet. The flavors were spot on, everything was seasoned incredibly well, and the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Every bite was delicious. We were both very impressed with the food, service, and overall experience. If you're looking for an outstanding breakfast spot, I highly recommend Epic Egg. We can't wait to come back!

I don't remember her name by she has tattoos on her ears and is not Hispanic. She's awesome. Now for the two star review. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. I can't believe l didn't send it back. The "steak" wouldn't even qualify as meat, let alone steak. It was mushy like pablum and was made to be eaten with a spoon. It was disgusting. It had some type of flavor, but it wasn't meat. I can't believe they had the nerve to call it "steak". I tried scraping off the 'fried' part but the whole thing had no body to it whatsoever and just fell apart. To be fair, my husband had a traditional bacon and eggs meal and he said it was good. What the heck happened? I know the prices of meat have gone up but again- it was not meat. Don't restaurants usually go to a cheaper cut of real meat? I was so disappointed and grossed out at the same time. I don't know if I can ever go back.

    Wow I'm so glad we tried this spot!! Super friendly service from the start. We went around 8:45…read moream on Sunday and didn't wait at all. The food, oh my. So many choices. I had a "Whimpie" version of a Papas Carne Adovada. It was so delicious! I could never have eaten a full Papas. In fact all their dishes appear to provide a lot of food. We got a cinnamon roll to share as an afternoon snack. Boy that was a good idea as the cinnamon rolls are huge! I'm a baker and I would say even my homemade cinnamon rolls are not as light and delicious as Doug's are. A simple yet fun environment makes it as casual relaxing spot. We'll definitely be back in a future annual visit to Fort Collins.

    My experience at Doug's Day Diner was okay, but it didn't stand out as a must try breakfast spot…read more We stopped by for breakfast and were seated almost immediately which was great. The restaurant ambiance is casual, but it felt a little dark and outdated. Our table ordered the huevos rancheros and the Taos papas. The huevos rancheros are two Eggs on top of Corn Tortillas, topped with a choice of Red and/or Green Chile, Cheeses and Garnish. Side of Browns, Tortilla and your choice of Refried or Pinto Bean. The Taos papas are Mountain of Browns or Homefries, Cheeses, choice of red Chile, green Chile, and/or gravy and two eggs with Chorizo, Turkey Green Chile Sausage, and Fresh Onions. The portions are generous and filling. It's definitely comfort food. I ate maybe 1/4 of my food and took the rest of it home as leftovers. My least favorite part of the meal was the cinnamon roll which tasted stale and dry. Overall an okay experience.
