Can't remember the last time I went out for breakfast so I decided to go big-always want something I can't make at home, so chicken fried steak it is! And oh man, it was crispy and delicious! Comes with tasty hashbrowns and pancakes! Kiddo had a breakfast burrito and was happy. Service is quick and ambiance is old time diner. read more

First time but it won't be the last. On our way to drop my wife off at work on a Saturday morning we decided we had time for breakfast. This came up on our list of nearby breakfast spots so we figured why not? Located on the NW corner of W. Colfax and Eaton street Nice diner atmosphere. Booths and tables are available as well as bar/counter seating. When we arrived which was just after 8 plenty of seating was available but by the time we left at 9 searing was limited. There were only 2 servers so they were busy and were doing the best they could to accommodate and provide good service to all the guests. When we did recieve our orders we were pleased at the size and portions of our meals,my wife opted for club sandwich and fries and I the chicken fried steak breakfast which came with eggs,hashbrowns and 2 dolar sized pancakes. My wife enjoyed her club which had thick cuts of ham and plenty of fries. My country fried steak was honestly one of the the best I've had the portion was large and the batter was flaky and tasty. The hashbrowns could have been better but the rest of the meal made up for it. The pancakes were delicious and they were not stingy with the butter which spread nice and even instead of being frozen and spread in clumps like a lot of places will give you frozen butter packs. Thier hours are limited and I do believe they are only open until 3. Just a tip you have to enter off of the north side of Colfax as they have new construction and there are medians now. And parking is somewhat limited. As far as would I recommend? Definitely. They have a large menu with plenty of options. Enjoy. read more

Diner vibes with a big breakfast menu. Greek Skillet was fantastic and flavorful! With a side of pancakes it was a generous serving. The Service was a bit slow but friendly. Menu ranges American, Mexican, and Greek - at least. I'm somewhat a coffee snob and that's the only thing I didn't like -- just a bit too burnt Folgers tasting. read more

Love sitting at a diner. Extra attention from Michelle, and all the kind ladies waiting on me. Food was terrific and indeed hit the spot. Since I got the Rellano breakfast burrito. I'll need to return to sample biscuits and gravy. Ambiance at the counter of a deli or diner is usually good. No exceptions here. read more

Friendly staff. I am in aw this cook can memorize everything on the menu. Ambiance is a busy setting but cozy still. Food is amazing!

Quite possibly the best brekkie spot in the Denver area. JMO. It's classic diner food with a back in the day vibe. Owners Manuel and Trish know what they are doing and when things work well no need to improve a thing. We went for the first time for breakfast and then went back the next day because we loved it so much. You'll find Manuel in the kitchen most days and sometimes both. Get the Everyone's Favorite Scrambler chock full of bacon, ham, sausage, onions, peppers, cheddar. I ate super slow cuz I didn't want it to end. Every bite had the perfect amount of everything. Also tried the Santa Fe Skillet with sausage, onions and jalapeños. Smothered with an amazing green chile (folks are particular about chile and here it's ON POINT! Combine all this with good coffee and toast selections and it's a winner. The staff is outstanding and consistently friendly. The whole place is clean and spotless including the restrooms. Ample parking. Only thing I'd change is for them to find additional capable staff for the kitchen so Manuel and Trish could get a day off once in a while! Definitely our new go to. Will be back...and back.... read more

We enjoyed this place! We were headed toward Sloane's Lake for a walk, and decided to stop here for breakfast first. We had to wait in a short line in the covered porch, but it was probably just about 10-15 minutes. So many great-looking choices on the menu, but we were able to pick out our favorite breakfast to share, from amongst all the choices. The staff was busy but cordial. We were glad to find a parking spot in the small lot behind the building. read more

Ohhh it definitely HITS THE SPOT. Perfect over medium eggs (most places can't get them medium). They got the best bacon! We had a long wait but the waitress was on top of it. Has the classic diner feel. Worth the wait on a Saturday morning. read more

Amazing and abundant food! We couldn't be happier with the experience. This was a Saturday morning at about 1130. Noise level was loud, but we somehow were able to talk. I ordered a club sandwich with fries on wheat toast, but there was so much food that I could not finish it. Took the other half home. read more

The place is in need of a renovation. The diner smelt of cigarettes. I ordered a veggie omelet supposedly 3 eggs but must be from miniature chickens - the omelet was as thin as rice paper and had a funny burnt taste . The veggies inside were the best part. However the imitation cheese totally destroyed the omelet. The side said hash browns but they were cut potatoes. The coffee was decent. The place had dust and covwebs throughout the restaurant., and water damage on the ceiling. Service wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. Parking was also difficult due to construction. read more

Hits The Spot can do what their name says. Hit that hungry spot!! A no fuss spot for breakfast and so affordable! Everything that you see on this review was $20 minus the tip! The food is straight up basic breakfast and tasty! No complain here! The staff are seasoned and attentive! I like looked around and noticed photos of old Hollywood stars from lone ago. Also, this diner is frequented by regulars. Love it! My special pancake was fluffy. My eggs came as requested ; over medium. My sausage although nothing to boast about in size was what sausage should be! seasoned well!

So went to pull out jellies to get them ready for my toast and was greeted by these folks. Cockroachs not sure why it won't post the picture Shitty diner on Colfax when brought to owners attention he said that I didn't have to eat here. Also if you ever see a picture of the cook/owner he's never wearing gloves read more

This place is a gem on Colfax. They do not have a dinner shift and the menu is huge. The service was fast and even packed, the kitchen was cranking out orders. The parking can be a problem as there isn't a lot of it but hopefully you are lucky enough to get a close spot. There are a ton of options on the kids menu as well. It is easy to miss but if you're looking for a breakfast spot, try this place. read more

I've been going here for years. Great staff, low prices, big portions, what else do you want?

I have been going here every Sunday morning for at least 15 yrs. I order the same thing every time....cheddar cheese omelet smothered in green chili. It is the best green chili on earth. The hash browns (sliced potatoes) are phenomenal. When I was a child my parents would go here occasionally. It was called the Doll House Cafe. So fun that 60 yrs later my childhood memory still exists. It's everything you could want from a diner. Huge portions, great service and very reasonably priced. read more

ATTN SOUTHERNERS: CHICKEN-FRIED CHICKEN IS HERE! Huddled in the bottom of the steak & eggs part of the menu- a rare delicacy here in Denver can be found. It's truly exactly the chicken fried chicken you used to get at your old hometown southern diner. Covered in country gravy it's well-seasoned, crispy outside juicy flavorful chicken inside. Served with 2 eggs your way (also under gravy) and home friend potatoes which are themselves remarkably tasty. I have been searching for C.F. chicken for months now, and my first bite resulted in a fist pump into the air. It's such a taste of home. read more

Hits The Spot Diner - Chicken Fried Chicken & eggs* - Diners Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

We heard from several people that we HAD to check out Hits The Spot. We finally stopped in last Saturday to see what all of the fuss was about. The wait was roughly 45 minutes, which people told us that was longer than usual. I think we also caught them at a crazy time with the end of breakfast and beginning of lunch around 11:45 ish. All good! We were seated in the booth next to the front door which made for a chilly time each time someone opened the door and stood there while it was snowing outside. That is the restaurants fault, just complaining that people would be more aware that they are letting all of the hot air out and making everyone by the door freezing. I am sure if we were farther back in the restaurant we wouldn't even have noticed the waves of cold air. The menu is rather large and I was struggling between breakfast and lunch. I did know that I was feeling like a fountain Dr. Pepper (nursing a hangover) and they instead had Mr. Pibb which was even better. More sugar to cure me. Lol. The server was amazing. She was quick with refills, checking if we wanted anything else, making sure the food and the 40,000 condiments on the table was good enough for us, etc. She handle the craziness very well and you wouldn't even had known that she had other tables. I stuck with breakfast because as my husband pointed out, that IS why we were there. We just got there later than expected. S breakfast it was and I still couldn't make up my mind. I went with the egg and meat plate that comes with potatoes and bread. I got the eggs sunny side up, hash browns that were amazing, sausage patties and the biscuits and gravy, but because I couldn't fully make up my mind I also got the sausage links. way too much food for me but I knew all of this would make fantastic leftovers.... and they did. I loved all of it. The sausage patties were my favorite. My husband got the polish sausage skillet with the pancakes and added peanut butter chips to it. SO MUCH FOOD! Totally worth the price. I am so glad I listened to that random customer at Candlelight Tavern telling the bartender about this place. Then it was on my radar and heard more and more about it. We are definitely coming back to get lunch and more. This place is great! Oh, and something I learned while there. The owner is also the chef, so that is why they are closed on Tuesday so he can have a day off. He does a fantastic job! read more

Just a great diner! Huge portions and tasty food all around. If you like the old timey diner vibe, you will dig this place.

My family who is from the area wanted to meet up and eat some really good food and at first I was skeptical because they said the portions of the food was so much that you're gonna need a to-go box and I was like yeah right. As soon as I got my food I had to say I was wrong. Everything was so good and I would definitely come back for more. The service was amazing, it was pretty busy so we had to wait but as soon as we were seated our order was taken and we got our food just as fast. It felt like a true dinner, wonderful waitresses, great decorations, I love the pie container by the checkout desk. read more

The food was OK but the service was not even close to poor I looked like it was her first day on the job I won't be back

My sister wanted something good to eat and she had been here a few times and said it was good with good service. The food was really good! I had the chorizo skillet, so yummy the only complaint I have with mine was that it was super spicy (I like spicy so for me to say that, it's spicy). Still super flavorful and that green chili sauce, YUMMY! My brother got chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns and biscuits and gravy, can we just say how yummy that all looked. The outside of this place looks dingy but the inside was ok. Our waitress was horrible, never smiling always looking like she didn't want to be waiting on us and always disappearing. We wish we had the blonde lady who was always smiling and checking on her tables. read more

I LOVE this place. I've been a couple times and it HITS THE SPOT always. Never too long of a wait for the most part, lovely servers and staff, the melodic clanging of dishes in the background.

This I believe is the best place to go for food. I have never been disappointed. am an older person and do not eat much. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito on Saturday, ate about 1/3 took the rest home. Sunday morning, I ate another 1/3. Then today I brought it to work, and I ate the last of it. Besides great food the servers are the best, friendly and very efficient, making sure your beverage is always full. I have never had a bad experience that i have been going there. 5 Stars from me. read more

They say they open at 630am but they never do. They have great food but when you arrive at 720 expecting that, you will be disappointed.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. This is a busy little diner. We seated ourselves and were greeted by our waitress shortly afterwards. She was very friendly and brought us drinks right away. I ordered the 2-2-2 breakfast. The eggs and bacon were just right. The side of pancakes was HUGE but they lacked flavor and the syrup wasn't very good. It didn't offer the sweet flavor I would expect from a syrup. read more
