    Great good, huge portions...! I unexpectedly stayed the night in Denver while traveling home from Tampa and found this place close to the Courtyard Marriott I stayed at. The place was busy and there was a wait for larger parties, but being by myself, I was able to be seated right away at the counter. The service was friendly and nice and Janessa took good care of me. This was a classic diner feel for sure. They even offered cocktails and handmade milkshakes. I'll definitely eat here agin if in a similar circumstance.

    I had a great experience overall. The service was excellent our server was attentive, friendly, and maintained a positive attitude throughout the visit. The food was also very enjoyable, I ordered the chicken with biscuits and gravy and it was absolutely delicious. The cozy atmosphere made it an ideal spot for a relaxing breakfast. The only downside was the parking it was a bit difficult to find a spot close to the restaurant.

    Alright this place has been on our to go list ever since we passed it going to or from the airport years ago. We live 35-mins from the airport so really, that would be the only time we'd go. My uncle came into town and was staying by the airport so we saw this as our chance, and honestly it totally lived up to the expectation! We ordered the chicken fried steak, turkey club, BLT, and cup of red chili and it was all divine diner food! I ordered a chocolate milkshake but they ended up forgetting it, which honestly was okay because I was so full after the rest of the food I probably couldn't have drank or enjoyed it. Would definitely return if we have some time to kill around the airport or recommend to people staying near by!

    Diner's in new place are a must! Came across this place on a Monday morning with a group of 5 and a toddler. Waited no longer than 10 minutes to get seated. Menu was straight forward and our group did have some questions and the service was helpful in answering questions along with suggestions on what to order. Got to try the country fried steak and eggs with a mimosa and a mimosa flight to share. Food was FANTASTIC that our table even got to share a savory plate. Mimosa's did sosa. Loved that the diner is located on the side of road and has the feeling of a diner. Wonder if dinner here would hit different?

    The green chili was great, the service was phenomenal, my coffee cup was never empty. Easily walkable from all the hotels nearby. If you are staying near the airport and need a good meal I highly recommend Moonlight.

    Good place to stop, whether on the way to or from DIA. Would definitely recommend the Moonlight Diner for breakfast, but lucky for us, breakfast is served all day. The pancakes are an easy go to but definitely give the breakfast burrito a try. It is of great portion. It seems like the Diner is a popular spot as it is always busy when we visit. The dining area is not kept up very well, so bring wipes. Same goes for the restroom facilities. The latter being run down, out of stock on toiletries and a dysfunctional towel dispenser.

    The dinner takes you back in time! I landed and this was my first place I ate at upon my arrival. The prices are fair and portions are large. They definitely give you large quantities of food. The hamburger was a bit too greasy for my liking. It had a grease taste. I did like the soup, it was spicy and savory The service was just ok. Their were times I had to wait for the check or order extra condiments.

    Great meatloaf, coleslaw, the veggies is a little bit soggy but good

    Nice meal after an event at the Gaylord Hotel. It wasn't as busy yet which was nice. But there was a large party in our section so our server was busy. I decided on the lemon pepper salmon. Wanted a peppermint hot chocolate but it turned out that it was alcoholic so I decided on water. The salmon was fine. The veggies were bland. Roll nice. Rice meh. I thought the burger he had would be better but he said it was not that good. Ah well. We still had a nice time and were full after. Diners are so fun.

    Super cute and cozy spot that we checked out on our layover in denver! Service was quick and friendly. There was a big menu with lots to choose from! Food tasted great! Would come back again!

    When I walked in the place was packed and for good reason! The service was great and the food even better, I got the huevos rancheros and they were fantastic!

    We ate at Moonlight because it was close to the airport. The food was not great to us. We all ate because we.were hungry and there however it will not be a location we visit again. The cinnamon roll was delicious! We did not like the hasbrowns. The chicken fried steak was seasoned on the breading but not the chicken itself. The gravy was bland. The pancakes were good, fluffy. The service was great. The ambiance was a diner feel and comfortable. However when we were at the location, there was a couple of times we were getting a plastic melting smell. The restrooms were clean.

    I'm visiting the Gaylord for a company event and decided to stop by the Mountain Pass Sports Bar…read morefor lunch after a long flight! I ordered the blackened fish sandwich with broccolini. It was all so good! The fish was a tad bit salty but I also have a salt sensitivity. Inside was large, clean, and plenty of HUGE TVs. Ethan was my waiter and was excellent! He was highly attentive and friendly. I would definitely be open to coming back here for another meal!

    We were staying at the Gaylord Rockies for a large conference and needed a spot to grab food rather…read morequickly, so we decided to try Mountain Pass Sports Bar. We ended up going back twice, which pretty much says it all. Right off the bat, the person seating us was friendly and quick to acknowledge us, which we appreciated. That said, they could definitely use 1 to 2 more people up front. There's was only one person both days (at least at the beginning of the crowd) managing a lot of tables, so there was a bit of a delay getting seated because they were constantly running back and forth. We went both days right as the crowd was starting, and once seated, everything ran super smoothly. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I wish I could remember our first server's name. He was from CA and was fantastic. Really attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was genuinely delicious. It's rare for us to go back to the same place twice on a trip, but this one earned it. Great sports bar atmosphere, plenty of seating, including outdoor seating, and it would work well for pretty much any sized group. I Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at the Gaylord Rockies or nearby.
