For it being the only establishment around it's fine. We ordered the meatloaf with a side of sweet potato's and Mac n cheese, unimpressive. Along with the Turkey Back Wrap with a side of sweet potato's. The potato's were the worst! Completely mushy. The Mac n cheese was the best thing about the meal. Would recommend the turkey bacon wrap again but will stay clear of any type of fry. At the end we went with an Oreo shake to go and it was delicious! You get that true diner ambiance which is super cute. The service was okay. Everyone was friendly but they were packed and not staffed well. read more

This place is great. Me and my husband come here all the time because we love the theme they got going on. Plus their food is pretty great as well, their burgers always hit the spot! read more

This place is a classic diner style, which is not common anymore. It's super cute and "retro." Their milkshakes are absolutely delicious, and they serve the best fries I have ever had in my 30 years of life. I am now obsessed with these French fries. read more

Old school diner atmosphere with super friendly staff. Green chile is mild but good flavor. Chorizo is not greasy and a little spicy. Shakes looked amazing but haven't tried them yet. Pros: friendly staff, eggs cooked as ordered, tasty green chile and chorizo, large portion, quick service. Cons: corn cakes were really pancakes with a little corn flour in them, not what we thought a corn cake would be from all others we've had. Huevos rancheros was good but the tortilla was just folded into the plate, not much thought there. Needs to be toasted or something. read more

Ambiance was nice. A throwback to 50s America. The service however was so so. The "host" walked us to a table and quite literally threw the menus on the table and walked away. Lastly the food was so very bland. No salt, no herbs, no heat... nothing. Not going back. read more

Horrible.... Everything is bagged up frozen food!!! Pork chops had a weird taste "frost bite" hamburger had old colored ass lettuce. Their green chili DISGUSTING... STRAIGHT WHITE WASHED TASTELESS FROZEN FOOD.... NEVER AGAIN read more

Stopped here for a light meal, and oops, no such thing here! The breakfast burrito was like a small football and the eggs ranchero enough for two! Our server Lisa was great and helped our decision making and we were so pleased! The decor is fun and light and comfortable! read more

Great food, portions are large and tasty ! Great service by Maribel ! Prompt and courteous ! We will be back !

Checked in on Yelp so wait time for a Saturday was very reasonable! Our waitress did her best but was stretched thin. Ordered the spinach omelet and margarita flight. Spinach omelet had eggshells. I thought it would just be in the first bite which I would understand can happen but it was a bunch of little pieces in different parts of the omelet. Sent it back & just asked for it to be removed from our tab which our waitress quickly took care of. Margarita flights were pure syrup - but looked cute. Would not recommend it. Portions are huge. From what I can see into the kitchen & if you look at the edges of the ice cream freezer- this diner needs a deep cleaning. read more

The Diner food you love and the experience you expect! Breakfast Entree: Moonlight Breakfast Sandwich ($12.00). A hearty basket filled with a sourdough roll loaded with eggs, sausage, bacon, covered in melted American Cheese, and mayo. Plus, Tater Tots on the side. (See my photo). Very filling and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Service: Quick, attentive, and friendly. They treat you like a friend, and it's what you expect from a local Diner! Ambiance: Quirky, funky, clever Diner decor. Always clean and it takes you back to "the good old days". See photo. Overall: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Moonlight Diner AND the 62nd Street BBq Catering that shares the space. Every time we go to the Diner, we grab some great BBQ and sides for takeout! read more

I didn't think I'd write a review about this diner. We had just dropped a friend off at the airport and wanted a diner experience with pancakes and this place was close and looked well-reviewed. What surprised me was the Southwest Cakes: "Cornbread-style pancake with diced green chiles, topped with pork green chile & sausage white gravy...." Topped with pork green chile and sausage white gravy?! The balance of the mild spice and of the savory gravy was really good and made for a very filling meal. I recommend if you're a sausage gravy fan! We ate outside on the patio. Service was good -- keeping our water and coffee filled. The rest of the food was filling and as one would expect at a diner for breakfast. The pancakes we ordered seemed a little flat / not as fluffy as we would have liked, but we would order again, thinking it was just an off batch. read more

Moonlight Diner - The Southwest Cakes Delivered! - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

In Denver for a few days and was looking for a diner. Moonlight Diner is a legit spot near the Denver Airport that has great food close to hotels. We visited on a early Saturday morning before the rush and was able to be seated outside as we brought out pet with us. Moonlight is a pet friendly restaurant that does provide water for those 4-legged friends. Our server was quick to get our drink order while we reviewed the incredibly diverse menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. They do serve breakfast all day for those who enjoy breakfast for dinner. Food was served quickly and perfectly seasoned. I'm not familiar too much with avocado toast but was ok from our friend who ordered. Other items we ordered were very delicious which made the experience even better. Moonlight does accommodate large groups but be warned parties will not be seated until everyone is ready. Moonlight is very popular and parking can be a challenge during the breakfast rush. Moonlight provided a great time and will be back. Give them a try! read more

Honestly if I could give this place 10 stars I would. Spending the night in Denver because I didn't feel like driving route 70 in the middle of a snowstorm on the day of my flight and we landed here. I had the turkey reuben and it was off the charts. The turkey is smoked in house. IN HOUSE! This is a freakin diner and they smoke their own meats here? Are you serious?! Yes I am serious and it was delicious! Our server was amazing and the price was very reasonable. The next time I'm in Denver there is a 100% chance that I will be back!! read more

Great food, service and atmosphere!! From the smothered burritos to the pancakes and shakes!!

This review is only based on my dinner experience. Service: 5 stars. The restaurant was really busy and our waitress was really good. She was triple seated and had no issue with any of the tables. Ambience: what a diner would look like. Food: 3 stars we ordered nachos minus the refried beans and the green chili and as you can see in the photo the shredded cheese isn't even melted. I'm assuming if we would had the green chili and refried beans the cheese might have melted more than it did. The mushroom Swiss burger was just okay and zucchini sticks were very greasy. I would come back , but only at breakfast since I know it's a lot better than their dinner. read more

This old school flare of a restaurant is what a Diner is supposed to be. Memorabilia of the 50's - 60's - 70's etc all on the wall. Diner style bar, tables and seats. I came here in October and LOVE the Margarita flight and last night my friend purchased the mimosa flight which was just as amazing. I came back for the Breakfast Colorado (braised pork in red chili) that came shredded with eggs & potatoes. melted cheese on the side & a tortilla. DELICIOUS!! This review is shout out my server Zahra. Attentive, friendly, had her favorites to recommend, made my mango margarita and overall made my experience great. Thank you. read more

Stopped by here for dinner after flying into DIAand was pleasantly surprised at the menu selection and food we ordered. Very large menu selection, reasonable prices, and portion sizes are huge (we should have split a plate and add a side if needed). The chicken fried chicken with 2 sides (salad and mashed potatoes) and meat loaf sandwich with clam chowder were all very good. We got seated immediately, and dervice was fast, friendly and attentive. Only downfall was the dinner roll was dry. read more

Moonlight Diner & Bar is one of my favorite places to eat! It's a hidden gem with a great view of the mountains. Moonlight has been there for 25 years, it's retro design is a throw back to the 1950s. This funky boxcar looks like my grandparents kitchen did, back in the day, complete with turquoise colored chairs & booths on a checkered floor. Very cute, with lots of memorabilia on the walls. There is even an outdoor patio. Moonlight is minutes to DIA, with free parking in the back as well as on the side street. TIP...this place is almost always busy, so I recommend joining their waitlist. On the Saturday morning we went we did just that & our wait time was five minutes instead of a half hour. Moonlight has your classic diner fare, including some entrees & BBQ choices. They serve breakfast all day. And in case you missed it above, Moonlight has a full bar. They have fun drinks like Mimosa & Bloody Mary Flights plus Adult Milkshakes! Our party of three decided on Biscuits, Sausage & Gravy with Hash Browns, the Big Breakfast Burrito and a Side House Salad with Steak added on. The service was fast & friendly. The biscuit & burrito breakfasts were delicious! My husband said the sausage gravy was thick & creamy. Our friend said the pork green chile sauce on the burrito was very good, not too spicy. They are served on platters instead of plates...the portion sizes are big. The best kept secret was my meal. I had the side salad & steak - wow was I surprised how much food I had. Large portions for only spending about $10. We had a great time at Moonlight & I highly recommend this diner! read more

Always a great meal when we go here. We frequently bring out of town guests as well on our way to drop them off at the airport. Meals are generously sized and service is always good. My recent favorite is the spinach and mushroom omelette but nothing has ever been bad. read more

I compare all national diners to NJ standards. This 25 year old gem, built in the middle of nowhere at one time, is a good stop if you're staying at any of the airport hotels. The surrounding area of this old stainless steel diner is new condos, townhouses and chain restaurants, fast food and gas. The food is pretty good, fast with friendly service. The menu was diverse and all food was priced right if all was as tasty as our Huervos Rancheros and Chicken Noodle Soup and Grilled Cheese. read more

This place is an absolute gem of a diner. Cozy feel with a very friendly staff. Food was really good and served quickly. If you are staying at one of the hotels out by DIA, make sure that you don't miss the great food and service at this little diner. read more

So much potential... food sounded good, but was extremely mid! At not a mid price... but the issue was mostly the service... we waited 25 mins just to take our drink order, then never got checked on and took over an hour to get food, which would've been okay if it was good, but it wasn't... do better, get more help read more

Typical diner food was okay the service was a little slow. If you staying at one of near by hotels a good spot to go to.

Only a 20 minute wait on a busy Saturday morning. The service was great, our waitress never left us waiting for anything. I always get the Denver Omelette when eating here, it's loaded and cooked perfectly. My wife didn't like the eggs or her French toast. Truthfully the French Toast wasn't well dipped in egg since have t agree. All in all this place has great old school ambiance and generally has good food. Great place for a weekend breakfast or brunch. read more

If you're a diner fan like me you will appreciate Moonlight Diner Just a few miles from Denver Airport, make it a stop before departure. I ordered the 8 oz steak medium with 3 scrambled eggs with a side of green chile which was very good. The steak was cooked correctly and complimented the eggs which were fluffy and tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance was spot on 1950s down to the chrome and plastic seat covers. read more

Great place for breakfast any time of day. They have an extensive menu of traditional fare and entrees with a local flair. I had the traditional breakfast with a side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy was creamy and the biscuits were dense and flaky. The hashbrowns were perfect: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Bacon was a little chewy after asking for it to be crunchy, but I think that may have been due more to the brand. Pancakes were thick and fluffy, with a hint of sweetness. They have some specialty cocktails, and some good strong coffee. All is in the setting of a dinner style arrangement, with chrome styling outside and a counter for dining. Good service even when pretty busy on a Saturday morning. Kids will love it for the charm and pancakes, adults will love it for the spicy entrees and cocktails. read more

Food is good and nostalgic for sure, and the service is hit or miss. There's one lady there who ALWAYS has an attitude... always, and not just with me. She'll be hanging out for so long that when she brings your food, it's cold. Side note: I know it's a diner, but I do kinda wish they had more authentically healthy options, because they could be an actual competitor with other brunch chains... due to location and proximity. read more

Anytime I fly into dinner it's customary to stop at the Moonlight diner . The atmosphere is classic casual with that expected retro ambiance. The staff is friendly and busy! This place has a vast menu so it's easy to find something for everyone. The burger menu has a "build your own" option with amazing options such as green chilies and pineapple. Beware! The burgers are HUGE ! Try the onion rings they really deliver . Also go for a chocolate shake . It's actually worth the calories. Prices are reasonable. If you go for breakfast ( which is available all day) the pancakes are giant, excellent eggs and crispy hash browns. This is the best restaurant located close to the Denver airport. Make it a must do stop for a hungry traveler! read more

I was heading to Denver airport this morning and had time for breakfast along the way. We took Colfax to Tower Road because the morning snow had backed up all the major highways. My buddy had seen this restaurant before and wanted to give it a try. He was worried about a line out the front door like he'd seen on a Saturday morning, but when we got there it was 9:30 AM on a Thursday so we walked right in. There were plenty of seats at booths, tables and at the counter. The uncrowded restaurant certainly wasn't because of the food or service. It must have been the snow that discouraged diners. Lucky us! It took a little bit to figure out what I wanted because the menu had a variety of great choices. I settled on the banana walnut bread French Toast. Good choice! Our servers name was... Yadi..? She was very good. Attentive, quick and friendly. All in all if you are within 10 minutes south of the airport on Tower and have time for breakfast, I highly recommend stopping here to fill your stomach before your plane ride. read more

Well I have eaten here many times and the food and service has been exemplary. Yesterday we ordered two orders of their BLT for carry out . Was also disappointed. The sandwiches were so dry, barely toasted and only one slice of tomato on each side .. should have been 2. Barely any mayo. We also had some nac n cheese.. definitely not impressed basically Velveeta and noodles..no flavor. Not sure if this was just a bad day or what but not sure if I will go back. read more

Always good. Food portions are huge . Always stop there for dinner when flying out of DIA.
