Moonlight Diner - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Had a great time here. We were starving after a long flight and found this cute restaurant! Ate too much but well with it read more

My 1st visit was pretty good, it's an old school diner. We were there later in the morning and it wasn't very busy. Food was good diner grub, the menu is small but fitting to the type of establishment. The 2nd time we went was a busy post holiday Monday and upon entering the place was crowded & smelled like a sweaty old man, really a turn off. The wait wasn't long for a seat or food, but the smell lingered even at our seats. Although the food was the regular fare, I am hesitant to return, the smell was too weird. I give 3 stars because the 1st visit was 4 star worthy 2nd one was only 2 stars. I may give it a 3rd try to see if it was a fluke. read more

The turkey bacon wrap on large spinach tortilla was outstanding!! The turkey was high quality deli sliced white meat turkey. The sweet potato waffle fries were some of the best I've ever had! The server was kind and helpful! The portion was big enough to share. I will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in Denver again. Wish I had taken pictures. read more

Stopped here because it's the only thing close to the hotel. Food looked good in these pictures here on Yelp. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs and my wife ordered the biscuits and gravy. We both left with 3/4 of the food on the plate. My wife made a joke that usually even bad biscuits and gravy are good. This place managed to prove that wrong. My chicken was like rubber. The thing that gets me is the server saw the plates were still pretty much full and never even asked how it was or if something was wrong with it. So my suggestion is spend the $6 on uber or lyft and goto the Denny's. read more

Excellent food and vibes. Always busy during brunch so be prepared to wait a little...worth it though!

My family and I are from Chicago and we loved this diner! The green Chile on anything is delicious. Really cute place and friendly waitress.

Great until the very end. Just proves one rotten apple can spoil the bunch! Food was good, service good...then my nephew got gum on the back of his jeans in the booth. He went back to let someone know so it didn't happen to the next person...hostess/server said "what do you want me to do about it I didn't put it there, good luck". WOW! Ahhhhh...there it is, the apple with the nasty worm... She could have just said I'm sorry thank you for letting me know... It was our first time there, we wanted to like b/c its super close to DIA. Not sure we'll be back. PS. We got it off with an ice cube read more

So tasty! And super fun if you like 50s diners. The portion sizes are HUGE and the prices are cheap. Ate here a couple of times but only tried the breakfast foods - which were great. Also had a boozy hot chocolate. Either it was REALLY strong, or I discovered I don't actually like amaretto. Love the neon sign out front though! read more

This is a great place! My star rating choice was a difficult one. I really enjoyed it, it's just that my dinner was amazing, but my wife's wasn't. If I were basing this solely on my experience I'd give it 4 stars. We showed up on a Friday night. They only serve BBQ on the weekends, come to find out. I ordered the two meat choice with pulled pork and sausage. It came with a biscuit, baked beans, and coleslaw. So good! My wife got the steak and eggs. She ordered the steak rare, and it showed up medium at best. She ordered her eggs over medium just in case they'd be undercooked at over easy... she was grateful that she did so as that would've been the case. The steak was clearly a cheap piece of meat. She wasn't given a steak knife with it either. Is that a huge deal? No. However, cutting a steak with a butter knife is quite awkward. She ordered toast instead of pancakes, and the toast came out burnt. She loves toasted sourdough, so that was a major disappointment. As a previous cook, there is no way I would've let *toast* like that leave my kitchen. Additionally, there wasn't any jelly or jam on the table. All of that aside, this is a cute little diner with a great ambience, and their BBQ is spot on. As for their breakfast? ... hopefully this time was just fluke. read more

Saw while pulling into hotel, walked over and ordered carry out before checking in. Outstanding customer service and food was ready quickly. Ordered burger and an egg white omelette, both excellent. There were heat lamps on patio with tent but nobody was eating there, but several people carried out while I was there. Highly recommend both for the food and the service. read more

So I've eaten here plenty of times and have never had such a bad experience. On Friday December 7th we went to have dinner and had Shane as our server. We ordered a country fried steak and a breakfast burrito. The steak had a weird sour taste like it was about to turn bad. The burrito was load with burnt potatoes. Now here's the kicker, I just checked my bank account and the waiter decided to add an extra 50 dollars to his tip! Thankfully the manager reversed the overage but I'll never go here again. read more

We were staying at the Gaylord Hotel and it is a bit isolated, so we found the closest restaurant (we actually walked there). The service was great and so was the food. Prices were good and it has a bar. read more

This place was amazing! Flew in to Denver and beat the rest of my crew and wanted to grab a drink at like 9am and they were more than happy to oblige. The food was amazing too read more

Our dinner was delicious and our service was great! Great spot to grab a quick meal and the food came quick. Our daughters had chocolate chip pancakes and we each had chicken strips. Fresh and so good! Also, we had the chips and salsa and the homemade salsa was to die for! read more

I'm so glad we walked in here for breakfast today. Packed house, long wait outside, and empty seats at the counter. Boom! We sit down immediately and start our experience. Service is amazing and engaged. Coffee cup was always full. Food is over the top in flavors and portion size. The burrito is better than Sam's #3 and it hurts to say that due to my love of Sam's. Whoever the chef in charge here is needs a raise. Quality, Quality, Quality. And there is BBQ on the weekends too. Need to check this out next time. read more

We used to love this place over other GVR places to eat because it's independent. It's not an Applebee's or a Chilis which is nice. Most of my family is from the east coast and we LOVE a good greasy spoon diner. It's a classic. But we went this past weekend and it was very unpleasant. Took 15 minutes for someone to even look at us yet alone to get us water and to take our order. Then it took 40 minutes for us to get any food. We had ordered an appetizer and didn't say we wanted it with our meals. We ordered simple stuff-meals we would get in 9 minutes at Rosie's Diner. But 40 minutes for onion rings is crazy. During that time we weren't paid Any attention to. Then someone gives us our onion rings and we say, "We're wondering when our meals will be here we ordered over a half hour ago." And he responded with "That's not what the ticket said at all I will check" oh okay. So maybe our waiter put our ticket in later than he should have? Maybe he was insinuating that we were being over dramatic! We'll probably not being that we got our meals a quick 20 seconds after the onion rings. So our onion rings were probably sitting there for a while. I know they get busy, but they need more staff to keep up! After we were seated two tables seated soon after us (within ten mins after us) both got their orders in before us. Granted, they were in a different section and had a different waitress. But cmon. There was another table who's order was put in right after ours and they somehow got their food first? Even tho they came in after us and put their order in after us. So odd. The onion rings were served on a thick glaze of grease. Not the good kind. The veggies in my omelette were barely softened yet alone cooked. Ordered chocolate chip pancakes and was given normal ones. The waiter barely said sorry, if he did we couldn't hear or understand him! $32 and an hour and 15 mins later we were full of grease and disappointment. No water refills in that entire hour and 15 mins. Not even once! Only positive is the bus boys are quick and tend to see dirty dishes and clear them fast. Nice! Will not recommend to anyone and will not be back again any time soon. read more

This looks like a old style diner. My experience was bad. The waitress took over 10 minutes to take our drink order. The menu is limited to specific tastes. I ordered the Mac n cheese, and ended up with a sick stomach. I don't recommend this place. read more

Just recently moved back into the Midwest this was the first place I ate. Definitely a must if you're in the Aurora area. The service was excellent I had the steak dinner was even better. If I could give them 10 stars I would read more

Went for dinner and after ordering a Santa Fe burger, the waiter brought the wrong burger. I cut it in half and started eating it only to realize it was not what I ordered. When I notified the waiter, he agreed it was not correct, and he would check on it with the kitchen. He never came back, or offered to take it back to get the order right. He ignored the mistake, didn't apologize, didn't try to make it right, and then charged us full price for the wrong burger I never ate but a few bites. I asked to speak to the manger, who came by about 10 minutes later to inform her of the error and educate her on how it was completely mishandled. She acknowledged the situation but seemed truly uninterested in doing anything about it! I won't go back or recommend anyone else to go here! read more

Love love this place. Ate there 3 times over a 4 day business trip. Had sandwiches and Mexican food, did not get to try breakfast which looked amazing. Highly recommend read more

The fried pork chops and chicken are sooooo good! I was in town traveling for work and this spot was recommended to me by a few locals. The serving sizes are also huge! You can easily get 2 meals out of this. read more

Couldn't be happier with this place I called them from the hotel next-door and ordered a club sandwich and even though they don't deliver they walked it over to my room and it's a beautiful sandwich thank you so much I recommend these people I will probably go there for breakfast! read more

One of the best spinach omelets I've ever had and not too heavy on the stomach. Stuffed with veg and cheese. Good service--and attentive. Location near the airport so once you've fought your way out of it and wrangled a car, it's a quick shot down Tower Blvd and 62nd by the Ramada inn. Rest of menu looks pretty good--diner fare for Jersey diner experts read more

I LOVE this place! I'm new to Denver and this is close to my house and I'm so happy. HUGE portions, cheap eats, friendly faces, Y U M M Y food!! Can't wait to try everything on the menu! read more

This is an A-OK place to come for a decent breakfast. They have all the staples of a classic greasy spoon, and they do those staples well. I came here with a group a few weeks ago, and most of us ordered some iteration of eggs, sausage/bacon, hash browns, and pancakes, including myself. I thought my meal was solid - everything was cooked exactly how I would expect it, but it wasn't anything special. A couple people in my party ordered egg white omelettes and didn't like them very much. They were very watery (like, sitting in a puddle of water) and did not look good to me at all. That said, the regular eggs were delicious and I would order my meal again if I ever came back. The service was... just okay. I understand that it's difficult to serve a large group of people, but 20 minutes just to get a cup of coffee is tough, especially first thing in the morning! The waitresses were very polite and very friendly; just slow. That said, all our orders were correct and there were no mistakes on the checks, so I suppose it's worth it to have slow servers if they do everything right the first time! read more

Big Shiny Space Ship on TOWER! Oh Snap its a classic old school dinner, Looks alone draw you in. You wont be disappointing this is a good restaurant serving good food with good portions! Mainly I have been here for breakfast after a soccer game with my kids, and bonus on the weekends Kids eat free 1 per adult meal. Decadence: Banana Bread French Toast WOW! Two items alone that are worth eating, now combined this meal is deadly. WARNING you gain weight just looking at it. They have all the regularly expected breakfast items and some nice skillets that are worth the try. Every meal I have had here has met expectations nothing has been dam that was so good with the exception of the Banana Bread French Toast but that's a treat you only order every now and then. So ever driving out on tower to DIA the DUMP, or playing X-Files stop in and grab a bite. read more

Looks like I have a dissenting opinion here, but after receiving a second-hand breakfast yesterday, dissent I must. Yes, you read that right- SECOND HAND BREAKFAST! We stopped off for brunch, and I ordered the pork chop breakfast. What arrived was MOST of a pork chop. When I pointed out to the waitress that a bite was missing from my pork chop, she tried to play it off like the cook had cut into it to make sure it was done. WHAT?!? Seriously? I've eaten at a number of restaurants in my lifetime, and never have I noticed where the cook needed to cut into a piece of meat to make sure it was done. And this was more than a cut in the meat- AN ENTIRE BITE WAS TAKEN OUT OF IT! I've since played this over in my mind a few times, to see how this could have happened. If I were to rule out the cook taking random bites out of meals as they are prepared, and rule out the possibility of the restaurant purposely reusing meals that have been sent back to the kitchen, then what I am left with is the possibility that someone sent their meal back, possibly to warm it, and it was left on the counter as our waitress was gathering our order up. She, then, mistakenly grabbed a stranger's meal and passed it to me as my own. In her defense, she did comp the meal. Regardless, I won't be going back. The Coda coffee, though, was kick-ass. read more

The atmosphere is pretty cool. It reminds me of an old school type of diner you might find along route 64. They also serve liquor and adult shakes. We ordered the biscuits and gravy which would have been great had mine not been scorched on one side. But after cutting away the burnt layer was really good. My husband orders the steak and eggs and he really enjoyed his food. The place gets busy quick. The diner is fairy small so prepare to wait standing. The place has free parking lot and is open 24/7 read more

Moonlight Diner - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

Moonlight Diner is a strange little place. Douglas R suggested it as a good place to take a friend with a 2 hour layover. He was right! In the middle of the suite hotel chains (for all those stranded travelers) is this shiny diner that looks like it belongs back in 1950. Some of the clientele look like they have not changed since 1950....let me explain. I can easily pick out the locals, young couples with ink and babies. It is the people coming in from Nebraska and Wyoming to spend the night before they fly out the next morning to a Mexican All Inclusive resort. You know what I mean; some of these people have not changed since they graduated from high school in 1950, they just cracked me up and made people watching here worth a star. The food is worth a star as it is your typical diner fare with breakfast and burgers sold all day. We tried the burgers, a fried chicken salad, and hand made chicken fried steak (with choice of brown or white gravy); all were satisfying. They have a nice bar selection and we tried a Blue Moon on tap, a lemon drop martini, and a gimlet; all were satisfying. Another star comes from the fact that they have a 6am - 8 am happy hour. I am sure it is for the shift workers but also all those tourist flying to their all inclusive resorts can start early. My only complaint is that the manager breezed back and forth checking on things and stopping at some tables for a chat but never once did he stop by us to see how things were. We did however flag him down to exchange a food item that was not right. So as the stars say....A-OK! read more

This is one of those places where apparently the 'sass' is more important than actually paying attention to the guests. I walked in by myself for some breakfast, and was immediately greeted by three different women, all dressed for St Patrick's day. All three looked at me, and one asked 'How many?'' I said 'Just myself, please.' 'Would you like to sit at the counter?' 'No thank you, I'm not comfortable at the counter.' I am extremely tall and can't sit at counters easily. She took this in and turned and walked away. A few beats later, the second woman asked me the exact same questions, and also wandered off. Still I stood by the door. The third woman then did THE EXACT SAME DANCE. 'How many?'. 'Still one.' 'Would you like to sit at the counter?' 'STILL NO THANK YOU.' FINALLY, I get a seat. My order was screwed up: gristly steak, overcooked eggs, the coffee tasted burnt, and syrup didn't show up for my pancake until long after it went cold. But they sure were efficient with my check! I won't be back. read more

Pretty good chicken fried chicken, very big and juicy with a nice thickness of batter that was crunchy. Big pours of wine. Service was good. Main issue was that the bar smelled really weird like they have poor drainage and wastewater comes up through drains or something. read more

I must start by saying that the food is good and for the most part the service is acceptable. There is one waitress, Elli that gives deplorable service. She is rude, slow and basically ignores you throughout the meal. I have been there multiple times and have had the misfortune of getting seated in her area. I am getting to the point of dreading going for fear of having her as my waitress. Now I know that I don't have to eat there, but I truly enjoy the food and the diner atmosphere but the entire experience gets soured by Elli. Today's service was worse than usual and that is saying something for her. I will be asking for a different waiter/waitress going forward so that I can start enjoying the diner again. I would recommend the Moonlight Diner to other people but I caution you to avoid Elli if at all possible. read more

Stopped into the moonlight on the way out of DIA, heading into the mountains for some skiing. It was just great. If your hungry and in the area, this is the place to stop. Located among apartment buildings and next to a hotel, it is a classic looking diner: Tables were populated by airport workers and from the moment we came in I knew we were going to leave happy. The portions were huge, the food all homemade and the staff was super friendly. We at so much at 10am that we did not eat again until 7--and then not much. We had breakfast, and it was clear that the pancakes were from a homemade batter. If you can eat them without syrup then its good batter. Excellent! The eggs were very fresh tasting and I had Chorizo (Mexican sausage). Both were outstanding. Home made hash browns, and good coffee. Everything was perfect. I can not recommend this place more. (THANKS to other yelp-ers for helping us find this gem). read more

Well, they say, if it's good and fast it won't be cheap. If it's good and cheap it won't be fast. And if it's fast and cheap it won't be good. This place is all three. Some restaurants idea of chorizo is nothing more than ground pork with paprika in it. This place has the real thing. Really good pancakes too. Summary: 50's style diner with excellent service and food. They even have unrefined sugar for the coffee. We'll be back! read more

Over a year ago I was introduced to this place and it's been great. The food is good, but the service is lacking. Everytime I've gone the servers are lacking attention to detail. I usually will get water with my meals and the servers never refill unless I ask them for more water. I just wish they could pay more attention, I would definitely change my rating. read more

Sooooo i just landed in Denver and asked "what good to eat?" I was directed to this place .... well it is less than stellar for sure ... the food took forever to come out the waitress just dumped a pitcher with glasses on our table didn't ask if we wanted anything else .. my over easy eggs were overdone my hash brown were Luke warm so were my pancakes ... bummed I was looking forward to the place it has a classic diner ambiance read more

First stop after landing in Denver. It is a diner diner with the decors and menu items. Great food, fast service, and friendly staff. The portions are big by New York standard and great value. I liked the pancakes but the hash was disappointing. The Moonlight Burger tasted great and it's huge. Definitely coming back next time we come to Denver. read more
