    This place was packed, and the staff was very efficient and kind. The portions here are HUGE!! A small omelette meal is enough to easily feed two people. All of us at the table were impressed with our food and the seasonal pineapple habanero jam was delicious. The inside was also very nice and felt like a fun diner

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

    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!

    Bacon Bleu Cheeseburger with Messy Chips!

    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!

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

    Huevos Rancheros

    Great experience on the patio. We all enjoyed our food. The huevos rancheros was delicious, loved how the ingredients were artfully presented, and could be separated or combined. the sauce complimented the dish. We'll be back!

    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
    Kirk J.

    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.

    Sweet Combo
    Luis E.

    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.

My Hogback Sour Cocktail was over the moon. Made from bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and Cabernet float. The unique blend made a great drink. I wanted more, but held back because we were hiking later. My wife's traditional slightly dirty martini was perfectly made as well. We started with the homemade chips and dip. Nice crispy chips with beautiful fresh made onion dip. Next came the Pheasant soup. I wanted to lick the bowl clean, it was so yummy. The main course for me was the carnivore plate with elk, filet, sausage, and broccoli/shallots. The elk meat was the star on my plate. Having that next to the filet mignon allowed me to taste test them in real time. The Elk meat won hands down. Not even close in my opinion. The sausage was packed with wonderful flavors, but after a few bites overwhelmed my palette. My wife had the Creamy Potato Gnocchi Bowl. We both shared each other's dishes. She loved the Elk Meat. I really enjoyed the Gnocchi, and wished it could be a side dish to my Elk meat. Service was great with Elizabeth checking on us at the right times. Tip: Ask for the postcard and the restaurant will send it out for you after you fill it out. Tip: the restaurant fills up quickly, so call ahead and get a reservation.

First off, we love how the restaurant is a couple blocks off the main streets of downtown because that quiet, peaceful vibe carries into the restaurant. It has such a laid back atmosphere - perfect for our Saturday night date night. Our server, Sonia, was amazing! So friendly and fun - very attentive without being overwhelming. She was so helpful and answered all our questions about the menu and restaurant. We decided to share the nachos and the prime rib stroganoff and it was the perfect combo! The nachos were cheesy and flavorful and the stroganoff (which was thoughtfully split for us into two separate bowls) was so creamy and yummy with lots of prime rib. Per our server's suggestion, we finished our meal with the Sopapilla Cheesecake... OMG! Not too much cheesecake, a flaky pastry bottom and a crispy, cinnamon-y top layer. SO GOOD. Everything combined (they also had a DJ playing a really cool house mix) made for a fantastic first impression. We look forward to visiting again and again!

It was 105 degrees outside and the pavement just holding that heat and reflecting it back to bake all life outside. So naturally, when we arrived at the restaurant taking escape from the heat, another couple chose to sit on the unshaded patio. Martians! No other explanation. But from the cool cool inside by the window we had the most delicious dinner! First they had you a hilarious number of menus, I think there were no less than 7. However, appetizer, drinks, food all superb! The mussels were unique in like a sweet buttery teriyaki sauce. With excellent bread atop. For my cocktail I got the white sangria, and that was one delicious and stiff drink. Raviolli was the only vegetarian entree and though I wish I had more options, loved it. For dessert we ordered the goat cheesecake, and that was an experience... for one it was crustless and did taste very goaty, the sauces on it were the best part though. Should you get stranded in Loveland with aliens, I highly recommend Door 222!

Everyone enjoyed their food for the most part, however some plates were much cooler than others. I understand the logistical difficulty of preparing 7 entrees simultaneously so they come out at the same time; but my short rib meal was lukewarm at best. Flavor-wise however, no complaints. The menu is pretty diverse, with options for every palate. Good for groups and families. Parking is street only and first come, first serve. Not a bad spot - I'd recommend them if someone was in the area and looking for a good meal.

When we arrived at the complex and pulled into the massive parking lot area, there were about 5 or 6 children riding their bicycles in the lot by the ice cream shop and Farmhouse restaurant. I don't know if they lived in the area or what but it was odd and so we had to park kind of instead of right by the restaurant to avoid hitting them. When two of us walked in, we got there 15 minutes early and were hoping to enjoy a cocktail at the bar before being seated at the table. The bar only has 4 seats and it was full. The host responded, "the cocktail will taste the same at your table as it would at the bar", which came off as kind of arrogant and dismissive. Anyway, we were seated right away upstairs as our table was ready ahead of time. Our table included a bench seat against a brick wall with a few small pillows and 5 chairs. The seating against the wall was quite uncomfortable. When our entire party arrived and we ordered cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I'm giving 3-stars for food because it was hit or miss. Half our group liked their meal and the other half did not. We all agreed the best thing we had from the menu was the tiramisu dessert and I really enjoyed the small garden salad, which was actually a generous portion and I liked the radish included! I also want to say thank you to our waitress for not kicking us out when the restaurant closed, she let us enjoy our time together without making us feel rushed.

Decided to try something new and took my father-in-law there for his birthday. We had reservations for 6:30pm and as we arrived, a large bus full of 50 college hockey players also arrived. It took us over 30 minutes to have somebody take our drink order and another 15 minutes for those drinks to arrive. We were seated with a happy hour menu, which was over and I had to ask the bartender for a drink menu and wine list. My water glass was very dirty and nobody ever came by the table in 90 minutes to refill our water. We were seated right next to the bar too. We were continually informed by our waitress and a barback that things were slow due to the large party in the other room. After 90 minutes passed and we still had not received our food, we asked to speak to the manager. When the manager came to our table, she did not introduce herself, so we had to assume she was the manager. Rather than own the mistake, she proceeded to throw our waitress under the bus. Our waitress was great and doing the best she could, but the restaurant was severely understaffed. They offered us free bread. We finally decided to get up and walk out and leave without being served our food. The manager chased us out the front door to bring our food in to-go boxes and as we were leaving, the entire hockey team was also leaving and getting back on their bus. So in the time we arrived for our reservation and after 90 minutes without being served, they came, ate and left. We were told this was a learning moment for her waitress, however, should be a learning moment for management to staff appropriately or just close the restaurant down to feed 50+ hockey team members. We won't be back!
