Came in on a Saturday evening, was somewhat busy. Service was ok. Once we got our food we weren't offered any refills on our cokes, maybe only one was included? I've had the milkshakes before and they were great. I've also come here for breakfast on lazy Saturday mornings, and am always happy with all the comfort food- biscuits and gravy, pancakes, etc. This was the first night we had dinner. The potato skins as an appetizer were amazing, loaded with bacon, cheese, and with fresh pico and sour cream on the side. I could have made a meal out of just those. My hubby had the chicken-fried chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and was pleased to see that the mashed potatoes were homemade not from a box. Came with fresh steamed veggies and a grilled biscuit. I had the gyro Greek salad. It was pretty tasty, but the gyro meat was the thin-sliced mall-greek-food meat heated up. Nonetheless, there was enough feta, olives, and more to make the salad, and it was huge! It was nice to have a waitstaff that spoke English though they could have been more attentive, and maybe not laughed as hard at the loud and boisterous couple in the corner booth's antics and loud obscene comments directed at the family with small children also there.... awkward! Overall, it's a diner, with diner food, and diner decor. If you're a health nut, you won't be happy, but for comfort food, esp. breakfast food served all day, it's great. read more

My Mom and Dad took me to breakfast here the other morning and we all really enjoyed it! The waitstaff was really friendly and our waitress in particular was really sweet and prompt--I don't think I was ever able to empty my coffee cup. The coffee was good, too. I had the Southwest cakes which were kind of strange, but that was part of the reason why I ordered them. They were cornbread pancakes covered in gravy and green chili. I loved the chili as it was spicy and flavorful, and the gravy was good. The pancakes were really yummy, and I would definitely order this again minus the hashbrowns and eggs that came with just because that made the meal too big. Mom ordered the biscuits and gravy which came with whole sausage patties and it looked really good. My Dad had the corned beef hash and said it was tasty, I think I will get that if I ever go again. We really did like this place a lot, and we all think we'd like to go again. read more

The service was mediocre. After a 20 minute wait at the table, I was finally greeted by a server. I ordered a Denver skillet and was asked if I wanted a side of hash browns. Little did I know that the mountain of hash browns would be included as a part of the skillet. I was finally able to begin eating after removing 3/4 of the hash browns and fanning away two annoying flies. My server finally returned to check on me 20 minutes into my meal and that's when I kindly informed him that my pancakes weren't cooked completely. The manager so graciously took $3.00 off my meal. I'm glad I stopped by the diner but will definitely not do it again. read more

Surprisingly excellent food. Way, way above what you'd expect from a diner - whoever runs the kitchen knows their stuff. Excellent service, great ambiance / really a neat classic diner. Just, dang. Very good. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough of a very character-lacking hotel park. It looks like a cool old-school diner and serves local beer and comfort food. read more

Moonlight Diner - Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter yum! - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is my second time here. I went with the blue plate special, which happened to be a smothered pork chop. Unfortunately, it was almost too tough to eat. The veggies didn't taste cooked all the way. The mashed potatoes and muffin were delicious. I also had some wings and a beer to start - those were both wonderful - I highly recommend. I should have stuck with the big island bird, which I had the last time I was here. Too bad. read more

Food was good but service was horrible. Seen the waitress once & she never came back had to get the check from a different server. We were out of drink for 10 mins then we decided to leave. They wasn't even busy... read more

Service was great. Food was great! We enjoyed their breakfast and the diner atmosphere.

Great food!! Not your average diner food! Hand-dipped milkshakes were awesome too!! Great job following COvId restrictions!

Loved this place until you go during an off meal time (2:30). Hostess sat us down while strangely blowing on her nail, not sure if she just painted it or what but she did it the whole time. Staff sitting at counter on their phones, rubbing shoulders while we wait a good while for just a drink order. Waitress asks in back, anyone waiting on these people? No answer, workers on phone watching football. Waited about 15-20 minutes with no acknowledgement, so we left. Day staff needs to get their shit together as they lost all of our business read more

Service was unattentive and the meals came out warm and over cooked. The $14 Santa Fe salad left a lot to be desired.

I had the spinach skillet that was super yummy!! 3 scrambled eggs on top of potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and feta cheese. Very flavorful, forgot to take a pic I was hungry. Great diner food, service was fast and friendly right near the airport. Perfect place to stop by when you are leaving the airport. Highly recommend. read more

Service was very slow. The breakfast burrito was tasty though. It is a very typical looking diner. Kinda 1950s style.

I am stuck out here in hotel no man land outside Denver airport. The front desk staff here at courtyard by Marriott told me about this diner. A nice walk down the road and found a great bfast waiting for me. Jourden was a great server and while it was busy my service and food were served promptly, hot and delicious. Had the pork chop and eggs, thought it was hash browns OR pancakes but it was a heap of food in the end--chop, 3 eggs, 2 pancakes and hash browns. All for $9.49 which I think is a great value. Good coffee and free refills. I had a few leftovers for later so I don't have to eat horrible airplane food! The manager and all staff I encountered were very helpful and welcoming. Thank you! read more

I was in Denver for a ski trip with some friends and ended up having to stay an extra night to catch a flight in the morning. I was in the mood for a nice meal but, as I typically do in new cities, I wanted to try something that wasn't a chain and that I wouldn't be able to find back in Cincinnati. So I caught an uber from my hotel to this 1950's style diner and found a spot at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and gave me a few of his recommendations. I ended up choosing the Moonlight Special burger (typical burger topped with onion straws, ranch, bacon and Monterrey and pepperjack cheese) with a side of fries. Everything was fantastic and the burger was huge. They have an option for hand cut fries for an extra charge but their regular fries are fantastic. Overall it was a really great experience. read more

Great stop close to the airport. Awesome waitress. It was a nice beginning to our Denver trip. Great diner food and bloody marys.

We had a very early flight, stayed at a hotel next to the diner, we ordered dinner to go. I ordered a patty melt, which was tasty. My SO ordered steak and eggs, he was pleased. (Worth noting, he could cut the steak with plastic cutlery). The fries were very good and still piping hot by the time we got back to our room. read more

Decent meal. I ordered the "popular" chicken fried steak. It came with potatoes, greens, and a muffin? Not really sure why the muffin was included, but it was actually very good. The meal was pretty good, definitely too heavy for my liking. Wasn't the best chicken fried steak I have had, but wasn't the worst. Average meal read more

I love diners. Eat here. It's great. Good menu, lots of options. Say at the counter. Food was fast and fresh. Great dessert options too. TV over the counter, so catch the game and some grub. I recommend this place. read more

The first 3 times we went during the summer it was amazing. The past month we've gone twice. Each time it got worse. Last night was the end of the moonlight diner for us. We were greeted promptly, that is where the decent experience ended. I waited almost 15 minutes for a cup of coffee our server had all of 3 tables. When we finally got my coffee she said "sorry but I have other people I'm waiting on" let this slide, it was apparent she could not multitask. After a long wait for our food, it was cold and the condition of my Philly bread had me considering a game of hockey in the parking lot .It was very clear the food sat under the heat lamps for an obscene amount of time. I brought it to her attention she simply said "sorry" and walked off. No offer to get new bread or a manager absolutely nothing. I'm sure she was disappointed in the tip we left but it was a mere reflection of the worst service we've ever received. We will never go back and will not recommend to anyone. If I could give negative stars I would. Very disappointed! read more

Babe and I stopped in here one Friday . It wasn't bad as far as burger joints go. A lot of foot traffic from the surrounding hotels. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food was okay. read more

We fell in love with this place right off the bat. Good food, drinks, service & vibe! Definitely a favorite

I came here from out of town and I was not thrilled whatsoever. The beginning of our experience was less than satisfactory because we were seated a table where there were dead flies. I've been to restaurants before where it was their gag to treat the customer like crap. I couldn't tell if this was happening throughout our service. Food was not good. Server was rude. I would not recommend this restaurant. Not to mention it was very overpriced. It was $54 for 3 meals. read more

Probably the best chicken fried steak in all of Colorado, and I beat a lot of Texas chicken fried steak in it beats them hands-down. Pancakes were out of this world my wife had the nachos amazing, I can't believe I have driven right past his place 100 times never stopped. This is a must try awesome food awesome staff awesome everything I will be back it is amazing. read more

We flew in from Chicago and happened upon this place for breakfast. Everything was amazing! The biscuits & gravy was my personal favorite. The corned beef hash was great too. The waitress was super sweet. We will be back! read more

First time at Moonlight Diner, and we had a delicious dinner. Charming traditional diner atmosphere with lots of memorabilia. My wife had a fresh, tasty spinach omelette, with a dry house white wine. I sampled a local IPA and throughly enjoyed the chicken fried steak, real whipped mashed potatoes with white chicken gravy. The mixed vegetables were fresh, including parsnip. We often catch flights out of DIA, and stay at the local hotels to catch our early flights. They serve breakfast too. We were met immediately treated by the manager, seated and within a minute our pleasant waitress was providing us beverage options. We'll be back, read more

Today i witness racism towards my friend and me. The reason i say this is because we came in getting ready to eat some pies but we had to wait to be seated, we waited about 30 minutes got no one to seat us but then a certain race family came in and was seated instantly. That my only reason of this one star review. read more

We found this place near the Denver airport when we were waiting for a friend's flight to come in. Holy moly, those biscuits and gravy were AMAZING! Especially with loads of green chile. Very tasty Bloody Marys. The breakfast burrito was a big hit, too. Decor was really fun and the staff was as sweet as can be. Next time I'm in Denver, I'm definitely going back. read more

Moonlight Diner - Diners Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Having left Seattle early to catch a 7:30 am flight to Denver, and having had nothing but a cup of coffee and half of a pear for breakfast, we arrived at the airport hungry and tired. Yes, we elected not to purchase the $8 airplane food, thank you. We're here on vacation for a week in Breckenridge and decided to get something to eat close to the airport. The nearest thing out of the terminal, and only about a mile away was Moonlight Diner. Situated in a new development of homes and hotels nearby in the middle of nowhere, no trees, no nothin' really, we decided to try Moonlight Diner and were pleasantly surpised. This is diner food, but we wanted breakfast that would fill us up and not empty our pockets. Moonlight fit the bill. Coffee came immediately. I had cornbread pancakes, which were quite tasty, not heavy, and topped with hash. Hash was not great, but went well with the cakes. My wife had huevo rancheros, which reports as spicy and good. Both of us went through our breakfasts without offering a bite to the other, a sign that we liked the food and satisfied - we weren't interested in sharing. Decor is definitely diner, and with Fat Tire and other local brew signs adorning the place, not too mention drawings of hot fudge sundaes, we may be back on our way out of town. read more

The server was great paul, he is awesome Margarita is good Food was amazing Blue berry muffin was to die for Nothing like new mexico chile but it was alright. The green was spicier than the red which tasted like it came our of a can with beans. read more

Diner's a regular thing we do and this place is one of the best we've been to. The place was clean and had appealing aesthetics. The service could have been a little faster but we were in no hurry. The Food was very good and cooked exactly as ordered. I personally LOVED the home made corned beef hash! read more

The people who work here are always so warm and friendly. The food is comforting. The breakfast are very good and filling. A favorite dinner entree is the meatloaf. There's also a nice little bar with a great patio. read more

Really disappointed. After reading the reviews for months, we decided to try out Moonlight and had a horrible experience. My parents both had the breakfast combo and I had the biscuits and gravy. All our food came out ice cold and the restaurant wasn't even busy. Eggs had to be cut with a knife because they were cooked so horribly. Took us 25 after eating to get our check and when we asked another waitress if she could check on it, she rolled her eyes! Way too many amazing places in the Denver area to eat to even bother giving them your money for crappy food and horrendous service! read more

The food here is excellent with an almost 1950s style ambianc3. Clean restrooms and decent portions of food.....no Big truck parking so truckers gotta be creative...all in all a thumbs up read more

Food was ok.. nothing special. Everything was cooked extremely well done (I asked for medium/rare). They do have a nice little selection of craft beers. Service was super slow for how few people were there. read more

I love the 50's retro motif. I was eating a Reuben and was just looking at all the 50's bling on the wall. Foods good and the surroundings made me feel like stepped into a time machine going back down memory lane. Now all they need is a jukebox that play du-wop vinyls. read more

Very good food; enjoyed the green chili... Waiter wasn't very good at taking trash and filling up creamer bowl. He also forgot my water, but he was nice. read more

Wow! Passed this place up the last time I headed to the airport and opted for Village Inn. What a mistake. This place has excellent food, great staff and sends you back to the era of diners! They even have root beer floats! Highly recommended if you have a little time before catching a flight! Oh and happy hour until 6 read more

Go here in the morning and have breakfast before your colonoscopy. The food poisoning will clear 10yrs worth of building up an hour after eating there. Service is grossly lacking. There's nothing like going up to the hostess and she is sucking on a lime trying to speak to you. read more

I ate here while staying near the airport. It was crowded and had a good vibe. The food smelled and tasted good. Lots of comfort food on the menu. My server was amazing providing good service without being annoying. I enjoyed my meal with tasty roasted vegetables and chicken fried steak so much I even had a piece of pie which was delicious as well! read more
