Great Shit Eatery! Pretty much sums it up. Again another failure in the Colorado State. Order your strawberry french toast and it is some cheap angel food cake covered in nasty strawberries from a can it's sad when the cool whip is the only thing that taste edible enough. It comes with two runny eggs that should have been done over medium not runny and rubber bacon that was just barely cooked. Cranberry juice taste like sugar and water leading me to believe it is the cheapest brand out there. I have had cranberry juice at other places that were low grade that tasted a lot better than what was served. I asked for a replacement of eggs for my runny eggs, but scrambled (which means not runny, but cooked eggs) well thats what I got runny scrambled eggs yuck! Another member in my party had eggs that were the same way, we left after paying the bill without enjoying our meals. The waitress asked us would you like to go boxes my reply was my dog eats better than this. Save your money and drive elsewhere unless you like poor quality food. read more

See all

Pineapple upside down cake pancakes! The butter is whipped with cinnamon and sugar there are cherries in almost every bite. The butter melts over the top and the pancakes literally melt in your mouth. They bring you syrup but you don't need it. I was thoroughly impressed as was my husband who when turning to ask how it was seen an almost empty plate and just laughed. I keep going back saying ill try other things off an extensive menu but every time i just get these pancakes. read more

This is my favourite place to get breakfast but also a great place to get a meal anytime of day. Service is always great as well.

First of all I need to put out a disclaimer. When I read a review on yelp I tend to go for the bad reviews to see if it was just a person's 1 time bad experience or if there is really a potential problem with the restaurant. This review is a little of both. I have been to Great Scotts before, and I was neither impressed nor disappointed with my food or the service the last time I was here. However Danielle has inspired me to write this review today, wait I am getting ahead of myself. Let me back it up. So here I am wondering where I should go for a nice Sunday brunch. Great Scotts, I think. I haven't' been there in a while and it was pretty good. So that is where I go. I get there and it is busy but not overly busy, I say party of 3 for a table please. The guy behind the counter says that will be about 20 min. Strange I thought. It doesn't seem that busy. So I stand and wait and wait and wait... mean while seeing other people come in after us and getting seated right away. So I go up to the guy and ask why all of these other people are getting seated while we are still waiting. He said that he thought we were a party of 10. So we got put at the bottom of the list. OK this was too bad but certainly doesn't get me off to the right start. So the guy behind the counter does get us a table as soon as he can. Then Danielle comes up to take our drink order as soon as we are seated... (This was good Danielle) but she come right back immediately with our drinks... while I appreciate her speed this was the last time I would see it. I hadn't really gotten a chance to review the menu and Danielle was back asking if we were ready to order. I asked for a few more minutes and she was happy to accommodate. We ordered and that was the last time we would see Danielle until after the food arrived. I hate to whine but I was a little thirsty and sitting there with an empty glass wasn't making me feel all warm and fuzzy. I also ordered a cinnamon roll before the meal arrived. So the next time we see Danielle was when she brought my burger and the rest of the meal. Danielle placed the food down and said "there ya go, do you need anything else?" this was my clue that she had completely forgotten about the cinnamon roll. So I said actually you can cancel my cinnamon roll, since I had asked for it before the meal. Danielle got indignant at this point and said that she would cancel my order because I changed my mined (Now I really hate it when people lie, I hate it even more when someone tries to put words into my mouth and lie at the same time) OK I said, I just wanted it before my meal and now that the food is here I don't really want it now. Oh yeah and this is now when she refilled my drink... nice... So I take my first bite of the burger that I have been longing for, I was really hungry and looking forward to a greasy spoon diner burger. What a got was a mouth full of disgusting meat... the burger didn't taste like it was fried or broiled... it tasted like.... It was steamed.... It was soooooo disgusting. But I was really hungry and so I ate it... the fries that came with the burger were cold. I wasn't really going to make a scene and given how I was treated over my waitress (Danielle) forgetting my roll I am sure she probably would have me stand up and explain to the entire restaurant what I expected from a burger. Summary: so you can skip to this part. Service TERRIBLE Food 2 out of 5 was it edible yes was it good... not by my personal standard Will I return? Only for breakfast, I will not order another burger from this place. Breakfast was OK, not terrible but not great. Thanks read more

Disgusting! DON'T EAT HERE! Absolutely horrible, low-quality shameful excuse for food. If I wanted poor quality frozen food that tastes like chemicals I'd go to Walmart and buy some frozen chicken nuggets and throw them in the microwave. Nasty. Nasty. Nasty. And when I spoke with the manager about my disappointment over paying ten dollars for something inedible, he told me EVERYONE uses frozen chicken tenders that taste like chemicals. Um, no sir, they do not. Great Scott my butt. There is nothing great about this place AT ALL. read more

Stopped in the other day on a whim and happened to be decently surprised. Strolled in on $2 shake day so that was a plus. Food was pretty standard and service was just okay, seemed like the chick there was more interested in talking to employees than customers but luckily she was our server. Ours could've just been better with refills. Overall not too shabby for a quick bite and good prices. 3 of us had burgers and shakes for $40 read more

Went here looking for some diner type food. The decor had everything that pointed to it being old-time diner. We were gravely disappointed. The eggs in my omelette weren't real eggs, the hashbrowns tasted like they were cooked in two-day old cooking oil, and my sourdough toast was soaked in butter. I will not be going back here. 1 star for the decor though! read more

Several of my co-workers and I decided to come here for lunch. When we arrived, we were quickly greeted and shown to our table. After we received our drinks, the waiter returned after what seemed like 10+ minutes. The service here has been unattentive and could've been better. I ordered a retro salad and found large strips of bacon cut in half. It was a bit inconvenient to eat. The ranch dressing was also really runny and underseasoned. It tasted like watered-down ranch. It took the server a long time to bring us our checks and to run our cards. It was lucky that we had more than an hour to eat. It's not a good sign for a restaurant to take their sweet time during lunch rush hours. I've heard good things about this diner, so I will have to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

We wandered in here, looking for a quick dinner. Well, it *was* quick. I only ate half my food. The biggest surprise was that neither of us got sick from this! Husband ordered a Mexican combo plate. He said it was okay, and not very spicy. What can you really expect from a retro diner in the way of Mexican?! I ordered the country fried steak breakfast. The steak was sopping with grease. The flavor was bland, and they obviously didn't cook it quite hot enough nor did they drain the steak after it was fried. The gravy was quite good. The hashbrowns weren't fully cooked. The pancakes were tough and chewy-- a sure sign of over-mixing, probably from having had the same mix sitting in use all day. This was food. Barely. We won't be back. read more

This is a great 'greasy spoon' place to go for a good milkshake and some liver and onions. Great wait staff, all of them are so friendly. Mornings are packed with regulars. This is not necessarily the place you go for a gourmet meal. You go here to hang with friends, consume massive amounts of calories, and not get overcharged. I like it. read more

Good greasy spoon breakfast all the freaking time place. Stick with the classics and you'll be fine.

When I say "comfort food", my husband knows that I mean Great Scott's. Always clean, and the staff is friendly. The light streaming in the high windows at breakfast is very pleasant. The menu has a very good variety, and they try to introduce healthy alternatives. We go to the Broomfield location, but one day I'd like to go to the other location so I can have a cocktail along with my comfort food! read more

Cheap, fast, and did I mention cheap? It's def greasy spoon with huge portions. On the upside you can have a burger with fries and an AWESOME milk shake for breakfast. read more

Wonderful place for breakfast. My omelet was perfect.

After having been served what looked like a salad that I had to send back the rest of the meal made up for it. My son had a pretty big burger and I had the Chicken Fried Chicken with the gravy on the side ( read more

Ive passed this place many times & it always looked like a cute lil old school style cafe to try. Came in today for the 1st time & the food was awesome! My girls got hearty portions of pancakes & bacon. Staff was friendly. & it was what i thought. A cute 50's style decor with that era music playing. Also got 20% off when i checked in on yelp,& they were happy to give me the discount which is always nice! read more

One of the worst breakfast meals I have ever eaten. There were four people in our party and only one persons food was tolerable. Never again. read more

Terrible. The staff was rude! Waited over 10 min to even put a drink order in. Caught an employee named Alyssa picking her nose and do u think she washed her hands before helping the next table that walked in??? NO! Flipping nasty. I didn't finish the meal and didn't take it home either. As long as that blond girl works there we will never return. Even after the 8 years of consistently visiting this location. DONE AND DONE! read more

This place has great greasy spoon breakfasts. It was family friendly, had a good atmosphere, and the staff were extemely friendly.

A great place for breakfast! I stop by every time I'm in the area. The Huevos Rancheros is great as is the country fried steak. The prices are a little pricey for breakfast but the food is plentiful and delicious. If you go later in the morning you may have to wait a bit, especially on a Sunday. read more

Searched yelp for a nearby restaurant with milkshakes and decided to try this one. I was skeptical because diners can be sketchy, but this place was surprisingly good. Menu is typical diner fare, but salads and side fruit plate were very fresh and delicious. Milkshakes were super thick, couldn't drink through the straw, but definitely made with real ingredients and tasty. Service was timely and restaurant was much cleaner than I expected (not a dive diner like I've seen on multiple road trips). It's a diner - expect diner food and you'll be happy. We'll be back. read more

I generally go for breakfast and the service is very good. The staff has been there for several years and its nice to go in and the people remember you. It has been a weekend hang out place for the Broomfield founding fathers. It has been interesting to listen to the stories about Broomfield in the early days. The food is good and portion size is very good. read more

I loved it! It was really, really good! It's nice that there are some really good diners still around! It was fun, and quirky, and priced really well, especially for the starving college student! I definitely want to go back more often. The burger I got was delish, the fires were to die for, and the Oreo milkshake, excellent! I love diners... :-) read more

Great food from a locally-owned small diner chain! They source natural and local ingredients when possible and everything we've had is great! Try the Big Boy Breakfast Burrito! read more

We love Great Scott's for breakfast on Friday mornings, the senior menu is great, and very reasonable. Our favorite is the chili relleno breakfast with hash browns and an egg. read more

This is the second time I've been to Great Scott's... both times for breakfast. It's a great breakfast place. Even though it's great, I can't give it 4 stars, simply because I'm just not that big of a fan of traditional breakfast foods. Nonetheless, if you are craving steak & eggs, chicken fried chicken, pancakes, or something with a Mexican kick then this place is for you. It's packed on the weekends so be prepared for a bit of wait for your table and for the food service to be a bit slower than your average Denny's. This place has an old school diner atmosphere and there are all walks of life in there. The menu for breakfast is traditional but includes some dishes with a Mexican flare. The rest of the menu for lunch/dinner is also extensive... one of these days I'll have to make it back there for something other than breakfast. This morning I had the french toast that comes with oats and cinnamon on top... it was good, but a little too sweet for me. I prefer my breakfasts to be spicy. But, if you are a french toast fan, then give it a whirl. It's not made on traditional bread either... it was a lighter bread that got a bit more crunchy than your average french toast. The pseudo hubby ordered the chicken fried chicken which comes smothered in gravy with hashbrowns & eggs. It was good... chicken was moist and the breading was crisp. A little salty for my liking... but it would satisfy any big breakfast craving for sure! read more

So I'm keeping my rating the same but I tried some different stuff this time around. I got a breakfast chimichanga with bacon (for lunch). It was pretty good, the green chili was decent. I'd rather get a breakfast burrito next door, though. I also tried the banana-fana milkshake. It's not my favorite but still really good. We came back because we had a coupon. Nothing outstanding but still worth your hard earned cash. read more

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere. The meatloaf was HUGE!!!!! Tasted great. I'll be back for sure. They could, charge twice, what they do now and it would still be worth it. read more

This place is a greasy diner. Not many items seem to be made of from scratch. I like the corned beef (yes I am under 85). Fried chicken is horrible and maybe from a box?? Breakfast is great, probably their strong point. Hash browns, eggs, bacon. The food comes out fast, cheap and easy. read more

The service was staggeringly slow as the only 10-top in the place. Took over 15 minutes to get our drinks, then after a wait to place our order it took over 25 minutes to get our food. We were starving by the time the food arrived. Thankfully everything was really good. The milkshakes were incredible & came out quickly! read more

Good diner style food and ambiance. I usually come for breakfast/lunch and it's always good. They make great bacon! Service is fast and friendly, prices are good, portions are huge! If you go on Sunday morning, you may wait a bit for a table, but it's worth it! read more

Every time I visit my dad in town this is where I want to go...we love their breakfast menu, you will always have some food to take home.

I love Great Scott's!! I should note that we've only ever been there for breakfast, but it's become something of a Sumday tradition in our family. read more

I love diners and especially great Scott's. Management is on top of it but the waitresses can be rather surly. Last week at 4 o'clock a client and I stopped in and the place was practically empty The waitress wanted to seat us next to the restrooms in the back wall by the wait station. WTF is that all about ? The menu features a beautiful cobb salad very tempting. Whoa, a small amount of lettuce with a miniscule avocado nothing like the picture. Big letdown. How much does a handful of lettuce cost after all? Presentation is everything- or apparently only in a menu photo. This salad could use a lot of improvement overallI. Try the chili rellanos or the chicken fried steak both winners. Warning, I'll be back... read more

Very disappointed in the customer service here. I came on a Wednesday after working all night long. I had two eggs Benedict with hash browns. I only ate one of my eggs Benedict when our waitress came and took all of our food off the table. She didn't speak to anyone of us while she took the food. We had only gotten our food maybe 5-10 minutes before it was taken away. All of us clearly were still eating with the fact a fork was still in my hand and my friend drinking his coffee. This is the only place I've been to that I would say that I would never in my life go to again. read more

Great breakfast, retro atmosphere, and friendly staff. Eggs are cooked to perfection and the meats are nice and flavorful. The only problem I have is checking out. It usually involves standing at a register until a person shows up and starts the transaction. They should just have waitresses do it for you. Also the location is in a bad spot, right off a main road with very little space in between the front door and speeding cars. read more

I ordered eggs benedict and the egg was too runny. They topped it with few pieces of chopped tomatoes (you can literally count because they put less than 10). It was a typical eggs benny with a side of hash brown, nothing special. I've had better. Good service though, friendly staffs. read more

We just ate here and the food was amazing. The staff were exceptional. It is Mother's Day and they were giving carnations out to all the Moms. Such a nice touch. We live in Parker and would definitely do the drive to eat here again! read more

After driving by this place several times and seeing that it's always packed, I put it on my "To Try" list. We got a coupon in the mail yesterday so I figured, Today's the Day! We got the chicken fajitas and the santa fe sampler and they were both pretty disappointing. Plus, I literally stuck to the vinyl seats...ew... read more

JUst stopped in for the first time on a busy Father's Day and had a GREAT experience. We were told it could be up to a 30 minute wait, but since it was just two of us (Lot's a families there) we got a very nice 2 Top booth. The service was fantastic and friendly, even with the "madhouse" of activity. The coffee was really good and the food was the best, no exaggeration, I had a Ultimate omelet (basically a Denver Omelet with tomatoes & sausage added and it was perfectly cooked and stuffed full of fresh ingredients. The hash browns were exactly what you would want from a "greasy spoon" diner. My wife had a pancake sandwich, which she said was spot on good (how many positive adjectives have I used so far?). I am not the type of person who often gives a top rating, this place deserves it. I honestly cannot say anything negative about the whole experience, quite a rarity. read more
