    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.

On our last visit we had Derek as our server and he did a great job! The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable. As a typical party of 5, I very much appreciate having a table that actually seats 5 and not a table for 4 with a chair pulled up. We will continue to return.

We started with a beer for my husband and a mocktail for me. The mocktail (blueberry lemonade) was simply not worth the $7 price tag. Mostly ice - filled to the literal rim of the glass. So full when I took one of my first sips, ice fell to the floor. There was just a splash of ginger beer; it could've used more but, alas, no room with all that ice! When I mentioned it to the server, she explained that's how they make them. She offered to bring me another, but it seemed clear she meant I'd be paying for it. No thank you. Next, my food. I tried the salmon burger (new to the menu, I'm told) which is actually a salmon croquette on a bun with some lettuce and vinaigrette. It's HUGE and not in a good way. The first few bites were okay, and I thought the heavily breaded effect was due to biting into the edge. As I continued eating, though, most bites felt like a mouthful of bread. I can only hope there was minced salmon in it, but the ratio was so heavy on breadcrumbs that I couldn't detect it. Not the slightest hint of pink on the inside either. I ate about 1/2, my hungry hub finished it. The flaws of the salmon burger didn't seem worth pointing out to the server after the response I got with the drink. Later, as we walked around downtown, I felt like I had a lead sandwich in my stomach. My husband had a better experience than I. His bison burger came out great. No complaints. Unfortunately for me, I think I'll just have to order very specific things when coming here now. Austin's has sentimental value for me - it's the first place we dined after moving here 27 years ago. Because of that, I keep giving them second chances after they fall short. I just wish they'd return to the days of "you can't go wrong", everything is awesome.

Thankfully, it was a beautiful February day, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine while we waited. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's a little bit noisy. But the wallpaper is really beautiful and it fits the theme very well. Some of the things highlighted in other reviews include homemade bread and homemade hot sauce. I'm not a hot sauce eater, so I can't weigh in on that. The fresh bread was pretty awesome. The fresh jam was Cherry vanilla, which neither of us liked very much. It tasted too much like pie filling, and the texture was off. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak immensely. My breakfast, which included a large pancake, an egg and a link of sausage was priced at $10 which was an amazing price. Both of us went home with leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive. She may have had a bit too much energy if I'm being honest, but I'd rather that than someone who is lackluster and boring!
