Wow best onion rings I ever had. Biggest BLT also yum. Great food. I have never been disappointed

Super large portions here. When we first entered I spied something having a giant burrito that filled up the plate. We decided on getting a burrito to share and ended up ordering their 2 ib burrito ... which turned out to be 2 giant burritos. It was pretty spicy (I think both the meat filling and the Green Chile on top is spicy) so beware if you're afraid of spice! read more

I really wanted to love this place but left disappointed. Service was nonexistent- after we ordered which took a bit she only came back once before dropping off the check. No drink refills, no asking if we liked it - nothing. Food was meh. While I appreciated my side of biscuits were grilled before they added the gravy, they were cold. My son did like his French toast but that was the only highlight. My youngest found a hair in his potatoes. We were never once asked about our meal so they would have know about cold food & the hair. Even paying the bill we weren't acknowledged as she was too busy having conversations with other staff. I felt that we were inconveniencing them by coming in for lunch. Disappointing all around. read more

i would say to pay close attention to detail. If you watch and see things that take place only then can an option be formed. Several things I saw here, these are a few. On a busy week at thanksgiving I went in for coffee and the waitress was looking at her phone for 7 minutes next to the register nor looking at the bar for customers so I left and went elsewhere. When I park in the back the staff came back with loads of groceries from Food Lion, which I personally don't find any food quality, so cheap groceries with a double to triple mark up. Early one morning I went for coffee and a staff was leaving but waiting for a coffee, the waitress opened a container with all the toppings and he stuck his finger to get what looked like white chocolate chip to eat, this was my last straw! No thought to cross contamination. read more

Ah-maz-inG! This little diner is a diamond in the rough for sure! It's really close to my house so my husband and I thought we would give it a go and we were not disappointed! I have no shame, yes, I did eat a bacon cheeseburger at 8am, and I loved it! They have 100% grass fed burgers with homemade buns and 1/2 pound patties cooked to how you like it! My husband got the Rooster breakfast burrito and said we have to return! The staff is super friendly so that made us feel right at home! The ambiance is definitely that of a homey diner with lots of room! The price points were also on par, and if and if anything, slightly less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely return and I'm ready to try other menu I items! read more

Very cozy place. Burritos are very good but kinda pricey. Always great service. I know the owner Jim, he's a very nice man and very kind.

I love going to the Red Rooster. It reminds me a lot of small cafes where I grew up. Portions are big, but the food is so-so. Breakfasts are pretty good. Not a big fan of the lunches. People working there are nice and service is good. Pricing isn't bad either. read more

Visiting from Kansas City. Needed a good breakfast place within walking distance from our hotel. Red Rooster Cafe had a menu that did not disappoint. We ordered the "Mom's Special" which included breakfast potatoes, eggs and biscuits and gravy. I will start with the potatoes which were my favorite. They were cooked perfectly with a good amount of crispness. The eggs were simple, yet so delicious. The biscuit was topped with a delicious sausage patty and covered with their delicious sausage gravy. Would absolutely recommend this cafe!!! read more

Fast and friendly service. Great variety for bfast. We had the Santa Fe scramble and shared it and was plenty for two. The kids got pancakes and those were good too. Fair prices, large serving sizes. Casual atmosphere. Several other menu items that looked like they would be delicious as well. Lunch menu looked great too. Right by Hammonds if you are headed there for a tour it's a good place for a late breakfast. read more

I had the eggs Benedict with avocado, hubby had the Italian sausage with eggs.., the portions are huge, the food tasted excellent. We loved the sliced home fries. Our server, Michelle is awesome... she found out it was our first time here, made some recommendations and it was perfect t!!

Loved this local dive!!! Our waitress was great and had some good recommendations! It was a great way to kick off our vacation to Colorado. We even bought the coffee mug and reminisce on how good the food was! You must go if you have not yet experience the red rooster Café! read more

If you're looking for a breakfast off the diet this is the place to be! The staff is some of the friendliest people in Denver! The food is good and comes out in a timely fashion and the coffee is always flowing. It can get very busy on the weekends so be prepared for a wait. It is a fun traditional diner. The specials are hard to choose from, it all sounds good. I had the breakfast burrito and full disclosure, it's HUGE but so good! The green chili has a bit of a kick to it. The filling is so much more than potatoes, lots of egg, cheese and sausage. So good! Extra bonus, there is always fresh, homemade chocolate cake! read more

Shared the Arizona Sandwich w/ Jeff C. & it was HUGE! We saw a lot of pix & great reviews on it specifically. They were right! Crisp bacon, fresh turkey & avocado. The fries were a lil salty, but I like them like that! Mom & dad split the Filet Fish Sandwich, they said it was fresh & crisp. Mom love it, dad said 8 out of 10 stars lol. The bread was well toasted, not soggy & had a nice crunch. We were all fully satisfied for our next 10 hour drive & no tummy aches. Miguella was our remarkable server! She was not only knowledgable on the menu & recommended the favorites & specials, but she did not charge us for sharing. A kind gesture on her part & we will be back when passing through again! A little goes a long way. Wish more people were like her, smile on her face & truly enjoys her job. It was like Cheers, like we'd been going there forever. The portions were so large that it makes sense why they'd charge unlike certain places... One of which I yelped about that could take a lesson or two. Excellent stop from the I76 bypass to I70, only a mile & a half away. Right before it was much needed gas station also so very convenient & easy bypass! read more

Red Rooster Cafe is near the RiNo part of Denver. I found it after I got my car windows tinted across the street at solar shadez and had a few hours to kill. It's in a strip mall in an industrial part of town but I knew it would be good when I walked in and there were no tables available. There are a lot of unique antique items hanging on the wall that is great for conversation. Everything seemed well kept even though this is an established business. Everyone was very nice and the food was absolutely delicious. They were out of the first thing I originally wanted and also had no pie or cake. They said that they have a baker lady who brings her pies and cakes once a day. If I'm ever on this side north of Denver I would definitely come back here. read more

Best $3 breakfast burritos I ever had and will continue enjoying! They are big for $3 bucks! Nice staff as well! Fast with Togo's.

Cool, classic American diner. Typically busy for a Sunday morning, but service was pretty fast. My eggs were undercooked, but overall, it was not a bad meal. read more

I have eaten here a few times over the past several years - the last two times have been within the past few months and during COVID. Both of these visits have been beyond excellent and that is thanks to Leo, our server! Both times he was extremely energetic, helpful, and was a breath of fresh air during these strange times. The food was also excellent - I love both their Club sandwich and the "Super Gyro" plate. The portions are large, delicious, and will leave you feeling happy and full. There is literally something for everyone on their menu. Since the pandemic is still full-force, the restaurant has taken extra precautions to keep everyone safe. They do have limited seating, but we have not had to wait. Thank you, Leo and the Red Rooster Cafe, for always a great experience! read more

We stopped here for breakfast & the food was very good & the service was great. I would definitely go back again.

I went in for lunch. I've been here numerous times with no problems in the past. I wanted to take my mother to lunch so we chose here. I ordered a BLT And a side of fries. While I was eating my fries I found a piece of metal in them. I didn't make. Big deal about it but, I did ask to speak to a manager. The manager proceeded to explain how they clean their potatoes with a metal brush. She then tried to offer me a different food option. I did explain that I understood but that it was still very dangerous if it was ingested and that my appetite was gone. The manager left to talk to her boss and I got up to got pay for mine and my mothers meal. And was confronted by the same manager who proceeded to tell me my meal was comped and that the owner said I was no longer allowed there anymore without any further explanation. This was a very unprofessional and shady experience and I wouldn't want to come back even if it was a choice. I feel a little disgusted that this was the owners response to a customer being put in danger. Please be aware that they don't take complaints of any kind lightly even if you are kind about something that put you in danger. read more

Read the reviews for this place and knew it was gonna be good. But this place blows "good" out of the water !!! It was AMAZING. I got the Demitri's Special. The slice of ham was huge and so tasty. Came with a biscuit and gravy too which was phenomenal. My husband got the Rooster Omelette which was also so good. Ordered it with a pancake on the side so we had a little bit of everything to taste. Hands down the best breakfast we have had in ages. read more

Pros: Clean Fair prices Good sized menu Friendly Cons: Coffee wasn't that good The food was overly greasy; even the french toast was greasy. Service was a touch inattentive, not horrible, but not great. Considering all of the other diners around this area, will will stick to Lisa's or Pete's just because of the taste of the food and coffee. read more

We stopped in to the Red Rooster after taking a free tour of Hammond's Candy Factory (right behind the café) for a bite to eat. What we got was a LOT of bite to eat. I ordered the Red Rooster Breakfast Burrito. It was yuge. Terrific. Winning. My gal ordered the Tuna Melt, and reported that it was quite good. I don't often get up north on Washington St., but if I'm in the area, it's Roosterin' time! read more

Very Classic American Diner and they haven't jacked the prices post Covid- if you have fond memories of Diner food with friends,then this is your place. Not to greasy , large portions, great staff. Highly recommend read more

This place is a great dive / diner type place. Portions are HUGE. Staff was friendly and prompt. I had an enormous breakfast burrito smothered with green chile. There's no way a single human could eat this entire thing. Was so delicious. They make their fries here from scratch. They're perfect. Get a side of them and dip them in the extra green chile that comes with your burrito. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

If you are ever in the Denver area the Red Rooster Cafe is a must! We stopped on our way out of town and just WOW! Between our party of 6, we had a scrambler, ham omelets, corned beef hash, French toast and the hungry rooster.....it was all amazing! Service was wonderdul....everyone was sweetie or honey! I rate often and reserve my 5 stars for those places that wow me......planning to stop back through on our way home. You won't regret choosing Red Rooster Cafe! read more

We were on a mission. A mission to find a breakfast joint in NW Denver that served crispy shredded hash brown potatoes. We had been to the Breakfast Queen and the Sunrise Cafe, as well as DJ's, Javier and C's, and Stella. All of which serve the ubiquitous home fries. So, imagine our utter delight when searching for "hash browns" on Yelp, we discovered the Red Rooster Cafe. Okay, so it was on the other side of I-25 and not really on the way to anywhere. But from the looks of the reviews, we were ready to take the drive. Upon arrival and looking at the menu, complete with an actual *photo* of aforementioned hash browns, perfectly golden and crisp, as part of the Morning Glory special, we both looked at each other and said, "I think we just found our new place." So, when our food arrived, why oh why was there a half of a plate of soggy home fries on each of our plates? Maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Maybe we should have been more clear? So upon inquiring of the waitress of the lovely shredded crispy hash browns, she replied, "No, we don't have those." WHAT!? Okay, fine. We've had breakfasts with home fries before. We can do this. But my greek omelet had too much filling and not enough eggs (picture gyro meat that is still in unpeeled layers and giant chunks of feta). And my pancakes were clearly made from a mix...... Worst of all, maybe even worse than the lack of home fries, after trying to flag down our server for syrup for my pancakes for a good 10 minutes, while my pancakes cooled into soft piles of doughy grossness, my boyfriend finally went to the counter and asked the cashier for some syrup. She picked up the carafe by the handle and shoved it at him, so that he had to grab the hot sticky bottle. Euw. This is not our new place. (Check out the picture of the sign posted by the front door. 100% fat free oil? Pealing potato's? What?) read more
