    Chicken
    Sam A.

    If they just served Coke! Outstanding fast service for Friday lunch. Abraham was very knowlegable and friendly. He hustled but checked back with us often. Both our burger and chicken were perfect.

    Do yourself a favor and get something with their biscuits. Doesn't matter what meal it is, so long as it has a biscuit with it. My husband got the chicken fried steak, which was huge. The white gravy was really flavorful and perfectly thick, on top of hashbrowns with two eggs and a biscuit. They had a house made blackberry jelly and a green grape jelly- both were good, the blackberry was a little better. But the biscuit made me want to sing. Perfectly soft and pillowy, with a perfect soft crust. I got the egg Benedict with pulled pork on the biscuit, and I loved my choice. The pulled pork was a little dry, but everything else was spot on. The pesto and fresh tomato it was served with looked like a garnish, but don't skip it- it added a ton of interesting flavor to the dish. I did a hazelnut latte as well, which was good, although the flavor could have been stronger. Our server was very accommodating and patient while we worked through our friend's order. The interior is pretty standard upscale diner. Highly highly recommend, and seriously, get a biscuit.

    Chicken quesadilla with guacamole, sour cream, and rice (substituted for beans)
    JhaRee M.

    New place today. Trued it based on the left over quesadilla I had given to me, which was fabulous, even after reheating. Today's lunch was really good. Lunch quesadilla with chicken, hold tomatoes and pico, substituted rice for beans. Pork tamales with red/green chili, rice & beans Regular review: Excellent flavor and good portion size, stuffed full of chicken. Chicken overcooked and it was dry and tough. Tortilla was just about perfect. Cheese was a good flavor blend but smaller than needed to balance out the large chicken portion. Guacamole was made well, no tomatoes, no filler and no heat. Heavy on the lime to the point it over powered the avocado. About half the lime was needed. Not too salty. Red salsa was the thin and no tomato chunks at all. Good flavor and subtle heat that took several dips to notice. Green chili was very good flavor and consistency. Slight heat that grew. More heat than the red chili or red salsa. Pork tamales were just about perfect: great flavor and texture. No heat so you could add your own to taste with the red or green chili. Refried beans were also great: good flavor and consistency, topped with melted cheese. Server Adrian was attentive and checked on us often. Will definitely come back and try new modifications. Disabled review: I am mostly in a wheelchair, must avoid acidic, peppers & tomatoes, and have no top teeth. -Entryway access was fair with a turn, table seating was good and out of the traffic. Did not visit the restroom. All of the above still valid except: -Lime overwhelming in guacamole (acidic), but flavor was great otherwise. -overcooked chicken was dry/ tough and mostly unchewable (husband ate some and was dry/tough for him also) -onions were cooked enough to get the heat out but were crunchy (husband tested them) so that I could not eat them I think that with a request to cook everything limp/moist, this will not only be a great flavor quesadilla, but one I can eat. -tortilla was grilled in oil/butter but dry for me (perfect with teeth)

    Huevos Rancheros
    Cole T.

    Overall, it was a nice experience at Doug's Diner. First, our server made us laugh when we asked what was good and he said everything was popular. But once we narrowed it down he was happy to help us decide. Unfortunately he didn't refill our waters but did give us an iced tea to go after we asked. The food was okay too. The Huevos Rancheros were two eggs on top of a corn tortilla topped with green chili and cheese. Nothing special and tastes exactly like it sounds. The Hot Oats was honestly one of the worst foods I've ever tasted. Textually it was everything you could not want. We also ordered a basic breakfast and the turkey sausage while dense was flavorful with nice spice from green chilies. Biscuit is more bread like than your traditional flaky biscuits. It's was also dense and a little tough. Maybe we got a batch that was a little too over worked. The house made preserves are very good and The plum was our personal favorite. Don't forget to order a side of green chili it goes fantastic on anything! It's got a nice little kick too and the best part of the meal. The salad was the best part. Crisp and delicious with a nice portion of chicken and toppings. There was a great mix of greens and the chicken was cooked very nicely. The restaurant overall was very clean and the food came out fast with no errors. If I come back, I will be trying something new from what we ordered.

    Huevos Rancheros and Basic Breakfast

    This was a great diner I found on Yelp that had good reviews. We actually started with a decadent cinnamon bun (not pictured, attacked it before I was able to take a photo) recommended by our lovely waiter Jose. It was fluffy, hot, and smothered in delicious icing. My Huevos Rancheros was so good and flavorful. It came with two over easy eggs on corn tortillas topped with red chili sauce, some delicious refried beans, and ribbon potatoes. It also had an extra flour tortilla and some salad; a hearty plate of freshly made food. My husband's breakfast was equally delicious. We also had their delicious homemade biscuit with jam. This place was a great find and I highly recommend it if you are in the Fort Collins area. The staff is very friendly and welcoming including our waiter Jose who made great recommendations.

The food was absolutely incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell this isn't just food being thrown together, it's made with care. Everything we had was ridiculously good, and I honestly couldn't pick a favorite because it was ALL that good. But what really made the experience stand out was the atmosphere and the people. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. It didn't feel like just another restaurant, it felt like one of those places where you actually get to enjoy the experience of being there. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants around Fort Collins, but Lucile's has that special something that makes you remember it. Great food, amazing atmosphere, awesome service, and just an overall experience that leaves you thinking, "Why the hell haven't I been coming here sooner?" If you're anywhere near Fort Collins and haven't tried Lucile's yet, GO. Seriously. Stop scrolling, grab somebody you love, and go eat here. You will not regret it. 5 stars doesn't even feel like enough. Absolutely phenomenal. I'll definitely be back!

Even though it was the side order, they still dressed it up nicely with whipped cream, caramelized bananas, pecans, so I feel like I got the same experience as the full order. The mushroom coffee is made with a functional mushroom/herbal blend and contains no actual coffee or caffeine. It had a unique taste that was vaguely coffeeish, and I really liked it.

    Tip Extortion Been…read moregoing there occasionally for 5 years. Service was hit and miss. Some staff friendly, some merely aloof, some seemingly hostile. Never could figure it out. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. I always support independent shops when possible. Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks... A few days ago it became clear. I ordered a bagel and requested it be toasted enough not to be raw inside. About half the time that's what I got. I paid and saw they wanted a tip upfront. I feel asking for a tip before earning it is unethical. So I selected no tip. I would gladly leave a dollar after. One of the staff, let's call him "Chris", toasted my bagel and delivered it to me burnt. No overdone. Burnt. As in mostly black. I said it was burnt. He replied that I requested it "double toasted". I looked at him like he was speaking in Swahili. I explained that I merely wanted it toasted and not raw inside. He insisted that I ordered it that way. He did not take my order. I said she wrote it but I did not say it. He insisted that I, the customer, was somehow so stupid as to not know how to order a bagel. I said "would you eat this"? Amazingly, he said with a straight face "yes". I replied that he could eat it but I want what I ordered. The baged was an insult. A childish lame attempt at revenge or punisihment. At this point "Chris" leaned over and told me I should be nice. Nice? Nice! I was flabbergasted. I was being scolded by kid a third my age. I was stunned. Was this a joke? Yes, but he was serious. It was an absolutely stunning display of passive-aggressive behavior. Delivered with a condescending smirk and self-righteousness. I replied that I am not nice and so what. He then insisted that I be nice. I said I am from the Midwest and we tend to be direct. It's not rude. It's the way we communicate. Honestly without hedging. This sailed right over his head unacknowledged, Then the truth. You didn't leave a tip he said. How did he know I didn't tip on the little checkout screen? I tried to explain my view on tipping that it needs to be earned. "Chris" was adamant that they expect tips as they are not paid much and work "hard". I reiterated my view and called tipping up front unearned and possibly undeserved as like Socialism. "Chris" did not like that and said that "people of my generation (Boomers are Bad!) don't get it." He further lectured me on how underpaid they were and that the "need" and thus "deserve" tips regardless of what service they offer. He then declared that a dollar tip was entirely insufficient. I replied that $1 on a $4 bagel was a 25% tip. He repeated that it was too little regardless. I said then how much is fair. He did not answer. My guess is that he knew as much about the mathematics of percentages as he knows about Swahili dialects. I offered that if they were to ask for tips after, the honorable way, they would earn more. People are motivated above all by fairness and would hedge on tips not knowing if they would be earned. "Chris" gave me the obligatory hourly-wage employee response that "that's the way it is"... The self-declared creatives have the ingenuity of cows munching grass. Then a kid decided to be a hero and intervened saying "WE don't have a problem with the tipping". In a stunning display of sociotropic behavior, he elected himself to defend the shop and represent all other patrons. I ran out of patience and told him to STFU. At this point the heroine server, who decided I like burnt bagels, told me to leave. So I did leave. I regret every penny I spent there to support their shop. So now I know why even as I liked the layout of the place, and all their countless little books promoting a myriad of pretentious woke socialist utopia topics, I never felt comfortable there. The all-inclusive did not like me invading their "Safe Space". Instead of just telling me "hey, this is our space not yours Boomer Boy" they instead were a case study in passive aggressiveness. A coward's way to feel all smug and self-righteous. Since they present themselves as fans of "literature" here is a literary quote (Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse Five... said to the character Billy Pilgrim in a hospital upon his return from being a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany... "I can carve a better man out of a banana" So I see that they have high ratings from their intended audience and I am a mere interloper. My little One star rating will not be noticed. I will end this saying "Be Nice"... "Stay Safe".... be good little normies.... tell your friends to go to Starbucks. p.s. The Wolverine is the state animal of Michigan, where I am from. It is fearless and righteous. No other animal takes it on. You don't deserve the name. May I suggest the "Weasel Farm Safe Place"...
