This place is a favorite of mine and my husband's. We miss their location on University and will drive 30 minutes extra just to eat at the Colfax location. Atmosphere is awesome, great diner vibes. Never had an off day at Pete's. Burger is great, the greek salad is great. The wait staff is always prompt, sweet, and attentive. 10/10, Denver staple. Colfax can be a bit dicey, but this location has been around since the 50s and is worth the visit for sure. read more

Should be lower but giving them three stars for longevity. Huge portions. Mediocre fare, nothing surprising or out of the ordinary. Watchin the flies play "merry-go-round" on the gyros meat is a little disconcerting. People who love love love this place are more sentimental than realistic. I wasn't best friends with Pete but we knew each other and I liked him. Even had drinks with him and some of the 'boys in blue' at the Satire a few times in the mid-80s. But some folks ideas that this place has 'gone downhill' since his death aren't dealing in reality. It wasn't ever all that much. We'll call it three stars for nostalgia. Uninspired, Colfax-level diner. read more

Great place! Great food! Great staff! I've be only been once but I'll be back and I recommend it highly!

Great food, awesome service and reasonable price. Came for lunch on a Sunday and was able to be seated right away. Breakfast burrito supreme has some kick to it and philly cheese steak sandwich was very yummy. read more

Excellent grilled trout. Came with real mashed potatoes and canned veggies..lol I witnessed a beautiful act of kindness: A homeless man came in and asked for a cup of coffee. The owner gave him a cup of coffee and handed him the sugar, which he kept pouring into his coffee! The owner/manager didn't yell for him to leave. He treated him like a human being, because he is! read more

We came here to check out this iconic restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was crowded but we did not wait to be seated. The turnover is pretty quick as the servers are racing around. They are busy and quick but friendly. The vibe is great. Old school diner comfort food. Huge portions and delicious food. read more

Went here for the first time for breakfast during lunch. First and foremost, shout out to chef Justin and our server Kaylee (spelling?). Breakfast was phenomenal with healthy portions! From the biscuits and gravy, to the crispy bacon, to the absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked home style potatoes, all amazing. However, the pancakes! The pancakes were some of the best of the pancakes I've had! They were lightly crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the center. Needless to say I over ate because I could not stop eating the pancakes!! Kaylee was an absolute delight and made everything that much better. We felt welcomed, she was funny, and took great care of us with regular check ins. There's some construction out front, but don't let this discourage you. We took the back streets and avoided Colfax. This is a cute diner with a lot of history and charm! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this diner! read more

Came in here on a chilly Monday afternoon on our way to the airport. While they were once open 24 hours always, that is now reserved for Friday and Saturdays. This was certainly a no frills restaurant that had been around for a minute. Our group was seated in what appears to be a converted patio on mismatched chairs. Service was prompt and we all mainly ordered soups and sandwiches. I got the lemon chicken soup and a Reuben with fries. Both were awesome, diner style. Prices were pretty decent as well. Would recommend if you're looking for a homey feel in Denver! read more

I am so surprised that I have lived in the Denver metro area for 19 years now and FINALLY went to Pete's Kitchen. I am so glad I did and can't wait to go back. We walked in and were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar. Perfect to watch the action in the kitchen. Our server was awesome and super accommodating. I am on a keto diet and she worked with me to get the meal that matched my needs. I got a kitchen sink omelette and slices of fresh tomato and it was delicious. I will be back! read more

Dine in comfort food that taste amazing! Gyro meat is the way to go as it taste so flavorful and tender. The fries are cooked to perfection! Crispy but not overly greasy or salty. Definitely a must if you're grabbing a lunch or late night meal. The atmosphere is awesome and service is great! read more

This is a standby that has simple delicious food with affordable prices. The interior is decorated with booths and a counter where you can view the cooks. There was outdoor dining as well. The parking in the back is small though. Waitress was nice and friendly and greeted us with a smile. I ate the veggie gyro with a side of crispy fries while my friend had the fish and chips meal. It's a restaurant that can be counted on for good food and good service. read more

It was pretty good and service was by no means bad, but what diner has cottage cheese but no fruit?

3 stars for lack of consistency. We work down the street and at least one of us is ordering Pete's at least every day. Sadly, they never have the advertised specials. I've been trying to order the Stroganoff Thursday for about 4 weeks now. Never have it and just changed it to BBQ ribs. So today after 3 weeks of trying to order the spaghetti special.... Don't have it. Surprise. Every time I try and order they never have anything they advertise. So I ended up ordering the steak sando last week but that's going to stop too. $25 for a thin tough chewy cheap steak on a soggy bun. Can't afford to throw half of my lunch away because it's too tough to even choke down. Get it together Pete's. We support the business but I've no intentions after the last few weeks of failed specials and expensive budget steak on a bun. It's been fun. Back to door dashing. read more

A classic diner that hits the spot! We came to Pete's Kitchen for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was full, but it was clear that this classic diner has a following and rightfully so, they have kept that classic diner feel, the food is on point, and the serves is fast and friendly. We sat at the counter in order to be seated immediately but they churr people in and out so, the wait would not have been long for a table. It was also fun to chat with the cook, who informed us he had been working there for 18 years and clearly still loving what he does. I got a classic breakfast of two eggs, hash, ham, and it came with pancakes that the four of split because they are very very large! Everything was cooked well except for the potato's, they could have been a bit crispier for me. You can ask for extra crispy, since my friend did for her bacon. You will need to salt and pepper unless you order something with a sauce like the breakfast burrito which was not too spicy (I can't handle a lot of spicy). The pancakes were by far the best item. Fluffy, large, and took me back to the past with every bite. I can't wait to go back and try a lunch item, I saw a ton of sandwiches being ordered while I was there for 45 minutes. read more

Service was good and the food was pretty decent too, but the place lowkey felt off like something about the vibe just wasn't giving.

A staple diner in the community for decades but take it for granted that I never stopped to give them their flowers . Service is fantastic even at 1am . Music is always on point and the food is delicious . If you are in the mood for breakfast, lunch, dinner or looking for a good place after a concert this is a great place for anyone and everyone ! Their Philly Cheesesteaks, Gyro's , French dip sandwiches are to die for and I had their chicken fried chicken with well done hash browns that always hits . Check it out ! read more

This is my 2nd visit this year. I heard they were very slow due to Colfax Ave bus lane construction. But this morning there is no actual roadwork in front on Colfax. Street parking is limited to 2hrs on Race St and no parking on Colfax. They have a free private parking lot behind Pete's shared with Satire Lounge that can hold 30 cars so parking is not an issue. When I walked in a 815am, I was the 3rd party. I started with a large mug of hot coffee. Plenty of half & half creamers and sweeteners on the table. I sat in one of the smaller booths. I got their breakfast sandwich with lots of bacon on a brioche bun with home fries. I added a 1/2 order of French toast (2 slices of Texas toast) topped with powdered sugar. It was served with plenty of salted butter and syrup. All good. My server was Neli. She has been here 27 years I saw 3 guys come in, one was in a wheelchair, to order takeout. I used the restrooms which need to be cleaned and refreshed. The men's & women's restrooms are too narrow for wheelchairs. read more

Unfortunately, my experience at this kitchen was very disappointing. My order came out wrong the first time, and even after they tried to correct it, the food was still prepared incorrectly. The server didn't seem attentive or willing to address the issue, which made the situation even more frustrating. At that point, I decided it was best to stop eating altogether. Overall, the service and food quality were both poor, and I don't plan on coming back to this place again. read more

Everything on their menu is absolutely delicious everything!!!!!! first time there and I wanted to eat everything on that menu!!!

A local favorite and a historical location, this spot seems like it has maintained its hole-in-a-wall stature, interior is old and worn off. Despite that the place has lots of recognition and accolades displayed on their wall. But the outdoor seating they have, looked so new and modern, best part of the restaurant. The breakfast items we tried were okay. Lemonade was decent. Pancakes were not so good. Service is okay. Dishes came out within a short time. We were happy to have checked mark this iconic spot but probably not the best experience we imagined. read more

Great food, but can be friendly one day, and the next sorta pushing customers away. This place is not bad for places to go on Colfax for the value. Could be cheaper on some menu items. read more

Food is great, location is wonderful and staff is amazing! This is our favorite neighborhood diner.

First stop in Denver and we licked our plates clean...! Pete's Kitchen is a solid diner in Denver - we saw the breakfast burrito supreme is a must and it satisfied our hungry stomachs. The green chile is soo delicious and the burrito is PACKED with eggs, gyro, meats and topped with cheese. The fried hash brown was the BEST part about this burrito. Biscuits and gravy are a classic too! read more

Stopped here before heading to the airport. Our server was great! He was very nice and prompt. We were seated near the back door. We could smell sewage or something unpleasant. The food okay.

My boyfriend and I's new favorite diner in Denver everything was phenomenal. We got the chicken fried steak and being from the south I know how hard it can be to find a good one and this exceeded expectations. The fries were crispy. Huge portion sizes that make you feel like you got a great deal. Even the $2 extra for feta was essentially a containers worth that you would buy at a grocery store. Our server was friendly and helpful in picking items from the menu. Breakfast is served all day and the kitchen is open 24hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Homemade bottled hot sauce also slapped. read more

I just discovered Pete's Kitchen. They have parking behind the restaurant and own the Mexican restaurant next door. This place has a 50's diner vibe that's not fake. It has been in business since the 1940's. The prices are great, food is good, and the staff are nice. You will not go hungry here! The portions are big! I ordered bacon and eggs which came with fried potatoes and toast. The bacon was not the thin skimpy type at other places. I received four slices! Yum! The eggs were perfect and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and tender underneath. Our waitress never let my drink go empty. I will definitely be returning. read more

Pete's Kitchen is a charming restaurant with great food. We ate there five times during our week visit, primarily because it was close to our hotel, but we would have gone repeatedly even though.

Cool ambience, convenient location, booths galore + optional outside seating. Great menu options, but unfortunately, although my club sandwich had promise, the turkey and ham were of the watery / rubbery quality grade, so I had to take it home and swap out the meats for some high quality turkey, which made it pretty good. Prices are pretty high ($15 for a club sandwich and fries). Fries were very good. Coffee was not bad but a little mile / bland. No flavored creamers, no Stevia. Service was super friendly and prompt! Seems like a great little place, and the above issues I experienced are pretty easy fixes, so hopefully the owner takes a listen. read more

Excellent service, really cool diner worth checking out. They have your typical diner food, which comes out nice and fast. With that the breakfast was about what you'd expect, nothing that drastically stood out for me on the food that I look for in small locally owned places. read more
