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

Whenever I go to Denver for a work trip, I usually eat here at least once. I also distinctly remember the body of said diner was fabricated in Ormond Beach, not far from where I live: unfortunately, actual diners are rare here in Florida. Breakfast has always been decent; can't say the same for dinners. The view of the mountains is also very good: as long as they don't build anything too obstructing nearby, it'd be a selling point. read more

Outstanding diner with great pancakes and shakes! My go to place going or coming from DIA for food. The price seems right on, and the cooks at this place rock. I get my burgers cooked just the way I want or special requests on desserts. The staff goes a long way to make you happy! Check out the daily specials and also the drinks are good as well. read more

Service was great. Atmosphere was great. "Starlight" is who makes these cool replicas of 50's diners.. classic Reuben was tasty.. went well with chicken soup.. beer, prices, and music were great too. Maybe I was just in a good mood at 10pm after watching Deadpool in theaters.. or maybe because I didn't live in the 50's, and all I can compare the 50's to are the classic tv shows and happy/romantic music that makes one not help but love the 50's lol. Hm. Smart.. read more

We were looking for breakfast on a Saturday morning and we wanted something else besides IHOP or Dennys so after some searching we chose this place because diner food is always good, this place was no different, just like most diners this spot is no frills, I have to say that they do have some cool classic art work on the walls, the menu has everything you can expect from a diner, the staff was really nice, for breakfast I chose a banana bread French toast that came with hash browns, I added scrambled eggs on the side, my girlfriend had 2 eggs, bacon and pancakes, we both enjoyed our food everything was good and tasty, where this place loses 1 star is from the bathroom, it had such a foul smell, I'm glad I didn't go in here before eating, I think I would have been completely not in the mood to eat after that. read more

Glad we tried it food and service were great. Fun atmosphere, everyone in our party agreed we would return!

This was my first time cruelly staying in Denver. During this stay, my wife and I stayed right next to the Moonlight Diner on Tower Road. Got here for lunch around 2:00 PM. Moderate crowd and we were seated quickly by our very friendly and professional server Venezia. Couldn't have asked for better service or quality! I would highly recommend the diner to anyone. My wife had the club with fries and I had the Ruben with breaded zucchini sticks. Awesome! It's only 10-15 min drive to the Denver airport and probably 10 + hotels down Tower Road. We will definitely come back! read more

If I could give less than one star I would. No one was welcoming from the start. Unhappy to open another section to accommodate our family of 6. From the start things went wrong. Asked for red chili instead of green in the nachos. Green chili was still added and red chili brought on the side instead? I personally don't like it and that's the reason for the swap, but what if I had been allergic to pork? We order our food and the waitress walks away without getting 3/4 of my kids orders. I ordered for myself and the baby. Husband ordered for himself and our older kids are at an age where their order themselves. Apparently the were never asked for their order by the waitress (young woman, shoulder length brown hair) which I didn't realize while trying to console my hungry and tired 1 year old. Didn't realize the mistake until our food came and there was nothing for my older kids to eat. Wouldn't have been an issue if we hadn't just waited 45 mins for our food to come out, they then had to wait another 30. I knew when I read the truly disrespectfully and probably sarcastic house rules at the front that we should probably go somewhere else, but because of a white out snow storm we weathered through it literally. We ordered waters for the table (she brought two large cups and a small disposable cup with a straw) and we were brought a pitcher of water with 3 small cups which we were made to serve ourself. Usually I appreciate that. However because she forgot our food and also made us serve our older children their drinks it really just truly felt like they were an after thought and I don't appreciate that. I was so mad by the end of our meal that I didn't want to even have to pay for it! I asked for two boxes to go to take my kids Mac n cheese but my husband said no to the box and my second youngest said she was full and was passing the waitress her food. At that point I also said no (child's name) and that I wanted to take it as the child only had taken 2 bites and the food was $$$ so instead of her paying attention to her surroundings she took my daughters food and TRASHED it!! I am so furious as I am writing this. We will never give our money to this place ever again. Horrible service, worst I have ever gotten!! I ALWAYS TIP, upwards of 30-40 percent on the bill. Leaving zero and a note on the tip line killed me! I would have spoken to the manager but the "Karen" stereotype for people who complain and my social anxiety killed my ability to do that. Food mediocre at best. We ordered the moonlight burger and this was the first time I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked or had to add my own salt and pepper due to blandness. Mac n cheese, homemade but under seasoned as well. Menu hard to read and completely jumbled (you need Gordon Ramsey's help with that one) Nachos decent but soggy from green chili. Only enjoyable part was fries, ranch, and the pickle, that was yummy. Anyway, you couldn't pay me to be a patron at this place ever again though!!! Hoping the waitress learned her lesson too... you can't forget half of the table and expect them to be happy with your service!!! read more

In Denver area for the holidays. A friend recommended the Moonlight Diner. EXCELLENT food. Very large portions. The Southwest skillet was . Pancakes . A bit pricy but worth it. If we are ever in Denver again, this will certainly be on our list read more

Waited a long time before someone acknowledged we were waiting for a table. Waited again after someone acknowledged us to actually take us to a table. Set my timer for 10 minutes and left when no one came to take our order. I counted 5 servers. This is normal size diner. One server brought one table's dinners out one plate at a time from the kitchen. That could have been a clue. read more

The host was very accommodating with our seating changes. However when our server came to greet us she was EXTREMELY rude. I've never had such horrible customer service. My server kept saying passive aggressive remarks to us when she was dropping our drinks off like "I'm not a mind reader who ordered the orange juice" and brought out more drinks then we ordered and got upset when we told her we didn't order them. Then when my friend said to me on a side conversation that he wanted a straw cause he doesn't like drinking from glasses cause he's witnessed restaurants not cleaning them she butted in and said "are you talking shit about me". Had nothing to do with her. I asked her for more water and I said thank you and as she walked away I told my friends we just had to say please and thank you she turned around after walking away and yelled across the patio "what did you say to me". When I was just remind my friends to be polite. The entire restaurant witnessed the rude behavior and everyone's conversations stopped. The server then consintued to call my friend a b**** and have a screaming match with him across the restaurant. I asked for the manager and he wouldn't come speak with us because he was in the kitchen. The server came back and said "oh you want to talk to my manager?" Left upset and came right back out and said "since you want to have an attitude with me I'll just comp your meal". As we were leaving a lady came out yelling we were ditching our tab, she wasn't a manager or server. Told us she'd call the cops as we were explaining it got comped and it was none of her business. Other staff members did not involve themselves to tell this lady to mind her business. My family has been going here for 15 years and have never had a horrible experience. I will not be recommending this restaurant and will never come here again, even tho it was my family's favorite breakfast diner and I wanted to show my friends how great the food was. Hopefully she was just having a bad morning and not normally like this with tables. That's be disappointing. read more

Pretty solid greasy-spoon diner. I have only opted for the breakfast items, but everything looks pretty good. One hidden gem is their Bloody Mary's. Really excellent. It took me several visits to even notice they had a bar. read more

Pros: Service was good. Cons: Electric light out front is shorting against the side of the metal building. Orange juice is from frozen concentrate. No air conditioning. Greeter warned us about all the flies. There were lots of flies. Fake maple syrup. Conclusion: We will never return. read more

Not bad portions are big I would say meatloaf was dry from what my friend said the burrito was amazing kinda spicy our waiter was nice read more

Worst experience ever. We weren't even greeted for over 10 minutes. I understand they were busy but still no acknowledgement. We were told by one server she would be with us then no one ever came to even take our drink order . We needed up having a different server and she wasn't really friendly at all. It was our first time there and she seemed so annoyed with us. We didn't even get to ask questions about the menu. There was also trash at our table. When we sat down to when we left she didn't even check on us once only to take our order gave us the wrong plates and to give us the check. I just think that's rude and I was hoping to love this place but we won't be coming back. 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

Medium rare Burger Delicious Nice place for a brunch amazing interior design and great customer services

The service was good, but food was just okay. I guess it's about what you'd expect from a diner, but this place is so inviting from the outside - I was hoping for more. Turkey Bacon Wrap was tasty, but the bacon was over cooked. I had some special requests, and they got it all right so that's a plus. My guest ordered the Sante Fe burger and did it was very good. If you are looking for a solid meal and good service near the airport, this is a good option. read more

Hands-down one of the best diners in the city would choose it any day over IHOP, waffle house, Village Inn etc. The food is always great service is good and drinks are wonderful. I just really wish they stayed open later like you at one a diner to perhaps a 24 hour option or at least until 2AM read more

Come with a big appetite because the portions are huge. Food is okay, as with the service.

Nice atmosphere with good food. The Kitchen Sink is the bomb. They serve breakfast all day! Have spirits and beer too. Staff is friendly. We will be back read more

Cool exterior, place looks like a airstream mobile home on steroids. The layout inside seemed a little odd, and the booth we sat in felt a little unsteady, but the service was quick and pleasant. I imagine this place gets a lot of traffic from the 2-3 hotels close by and of course the airport... We were starving following our flight and didn't want to pay airport prices, unfortunately the prices were a little inflated here as well. We both had breakfast, and it was nothing to complain about, but nothing worth mentioning either. I did see that they have a morning happy hour, from 7-9am, I thought that was pretty unique, hopefully the pilots aren't going to breakfast there for that reason. read more

Great place especially if you're staying at the Hampton Inn. Server staff very friendly, especially Sam. Great diner food. Full bar attached with a nice beer selection. Very limited late night menu, hope you like chicken fingers. Very clean and comfortable though I did notice the booth seats are quite bouncy. If you're looking for a true diner, this is it. read more

We returned to this diner after 2 previous visits that had been very pleasant. This time, 10/15/19 was a total disappointment. We found several people ahead of us waiting yet to be greeted for 20 minutes. When we were given a table, the first words uttered by a rushed server were "what are you drinking". My wife's roast beef was dry and tasteless, the server responded that it was because she didn't want gravy on it. My steak was actually ok. Never a smile from any employee. We felt that we were trespassing rather than having dinner. Sticky menus, table top and floor. BTW, this was a Tuesday evening, not a weekend. We will not set foot in this place again. read more

Had brunch this weekend at this little gem. Delicious food, service and atmosphere. Our waiter was such a nice guy and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their Mickey Mouse pancakes! Generous portions; come hungry read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time. It was walking distance from our hotel. The employees are so friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the breakfast skillet with the fluffiest pancakes I've ever eaten. The club sandwich was filled with avocado,crisp bacon, fresh vegetables and sliced turkey. Served on fresh marbled Rye bread. Loved the 90 Schilling Scottish Ale at a great price. They also make adult milkshakes!!!!! Cant wait to come back!!!! read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The staff was massively rude, aside from our food not being great, they gave me and my family the worst attitude possible even told us we don't have to come back. Would not recommend and would never eat here again read more

Okay so you take a 1960's era New York diner and you drop it in the middle of the freakin plains near Denver Colorado Airport. The view out the front window is of snow capped mountains about 20 miles away. Keep the music of the 60's playing and make it a 24 hour diner that serves breakfast all day. Add in a great menu from steaks to pork chops to seafood all served with Western hospitality and a smile. Oh did I say there was a full bar attached? How do you top that? How about Happy Hour from 7 AM to 9 AM. Yes I said AM, like in the morning. Gotta love the West. read more

The staff was great! Food was great! Will be back next time we're in Denver! The pancakes are nice and fluffy. We ordered the chicken fried steak, scrambled, and hash--it was a big dish as is. When you add the pancake, oh my gosh! So much food! The kids meal was pretty standard, eggs, bacon, hash, pancake. A lot of food, but yet so good! Can't wait to go back! read more

Classic diner in the modern age with your diner style food and a few twists. Had something called the Big Island bird. Didn't think a chicken, pineapple, terriyaki sandwich fit diner criteria, but it was there and it was rather tasty. Only put off was the amount of grease, which was probably to be expected for places like this. The combination and how they did it provided an opportunity for a great flavor experience. The food is heavy, could only get through about half of it, which carried me through breakfast the next day. Also, 4 stars for the fact that they have more varieties of fries than I've seen on a menu before! read more

Got recommended from hotel host to give this place a try. Ordered steak and eggs combo. It went down in a major way. Hit the spot and they have a full bar as well. Can't go wrong if your staying close the airport read more

Great food and shakes!!! Love the service! Do not listen to the negative and bad reviews

I'm soooo disappointed. Ordered two mains for take away. Got back to my hotel, no car and a mile away, only to discover I was missing the fruit from the French toast and the toast from the skillet. I really shouldn't have to check my own order in front of you before I leave. So let this be a warning to anyone with a take away order....treat your servers like children and check the containers before they bag it up!! read more

The breakfast was very good. I had the classic and it was very filling. Service was a little slow, but overall it was good.
