Kortney and Carrie are amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent service and such a nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They even stayed open a few mins longer for us! Highly recommend! A+++++ read more

Great service, great food easy to get to. I have not had a bad experience yet. I don't expect to.

Courtney took such great care of us. Best waitress we have ever had. We have been coming here for many years. This place is always consistent, always good quality and fresh, service top notch !! Even the cook says hello when we come In and the owner is always around actually helping and talking to customers . My favorite is the Huevos Rancheros and the beef stew!! read more

If you didn't grow up in the country like I did, come here, because you have to experience this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance, food, friendliness and normalcy is running rampant here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Choose your own place to sit, and the server will be along soon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Courtney was ours, and she is as friendly and efficient as can be, and she's very easy on the eyes. She pops a few "sweeties" and "honeys," in and genuine at that. The pricing is right on, even tho they have added a 3.1% "inflation fee."?? They have breakfast or lunch, and plenty of it. Cooked to perfection, and delicious. They always have a collection of homemade pies, with ala mode ice cream, if that's your jam. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The customers are dressed casually, look like working folks, a few retired folks and cowboys and you'll see some "bib-alls'" that I wore working on a ranch in my young life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A horseshoe shaped lunch counter, as well as plenty of tables with imbedded ads, you owe this to yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking next door. See you there! read more

The waitresses are amazingly friendly and the service is incredible. We got our food fast and the portions are huge. The cook made the best burger I have ever eaten in my life. Must try read more

excellent food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I see the place as i was getting coffee from Scooters. I just got back from deployment and needed to move property from the storage to my new place so I needed some coffee to get me going. As I was leaving I seen this place and I'm from TN so it reminded me of the "Mom&Pops" spots back home[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'm really happy I stopped in. I got the biscuit and gravy (EXCELLENT), French Toast (EXCELLENT), and hash browns with sunny side eggs and toast (EXCELLENT). cant wait to try some of the other items on the menu. staff was personable and gave the place a homey feel. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Driving up on a weekday morning you see this is a popular place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You walk in and it truly is the real deal diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is so friendly and the one thing you will not find is an empty coffee cup. I had the Breakfast Burrito. It was so good. I'm in town on business and this is a great find. Enjoy! read more

Love the food here and the Sunday eggs Benedict is awesome! Owners are great and the servers and cooks provide fast and amazing service!

Staff is always super friendly and welcoming.. food is yummy and always consistently good. My 11 yr old loves this place because of the staff and traditional breakfast options! The vibe is awesome with the majority of guests being regulars and not shy to chit chat. read more

food was good. Don't use the QR code to pay. I did pay and then they come and tell me it didn't go through. Change your system if it is having problems. it was very embarrassing. read more

Food was excellent and service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was full and yet we did not have to wait long for our food.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you walk in, you can see this is a well-known place for locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We are visiting Colorado Springs and stopped in here for breakfast several times now. The food was very reasonable and everything was just great! The service is good and the food is hometown good!!! You won't be sorry if you trying this place and it won't break the bank.

Sheldon's Luncheonette - GREAT HAM STEAK breakfast $10.75 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The servings were plentiful. The biscuits and gravy were above average. I recommend the biscuits and gravy. The service was superior by modern standards. The waitress patrolled the floor with hot coffee at regular intervals. Prices were moderate by comparison with other restaurants. I'd say yes, this is a good place for breakfast. read more

The food was good but it took forever and was over priced. We sat at the counter and watched as obvious regulars arrived after us, ate and left before we even had our food. We were there for almost 50 minutes before we had our order. The Ruben was fantastic! Potato salad wasn't great and the fries were soggy. $35 out the door for two sandwiches and 1 iced tea seemed like a lot. I know they've been there for a long time but for me it's a no. Won't be returning or recommending anytime soon. read more

Fresh food, spotless classic diner, counter and all. Watch your order being cooked on the flattop griddle. REAL handcut fries with your hamburger...no frozen crap off the Sisco truck here...just real, basic food like it used to be prepared decades ago when only fresh ingredients were available. Want to know how REAL diner food is supposed to taste this is for you. And the prices are very reasonable. Service? Impeccable, including the never empty coffee cup. read more

I stopped in for lunch on my way back to Albuquerque. What a pleasant surprise! As the name says, a lovely traditional luncheonette like the 60s. Very tasty food, great friendly service. Kudos to server Kourtney, who kept us entertained with her charm and her humor while we waited for our orders. read more

we were looking for cheap breakfast and found this place on google! we were surprised when the food was so good!! i had the ham & cheese sandwich and my partner had the taco salad. our server was super friendly but unfortunately the people eating at the restaurant wouldn't stop staring at us... made us feel kinda uncomfortable. guess they could tell we weren't from around there lol... would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in town! we spent about $25 for the both of us to eat. read more

Very nice employees, cute little diner atmosphere, awful food. I felt like I should be able to trust reviews, but this was just not good. I ordered my burger medium, it was a well-done, unseasoned little hockey puck. My son's pancakes were drowning in the crisco they were cooked in (there was a puddle of what looked like butter-flavored crisco on the side of his plate and underneath the pancakes) and everyone else's food tasted and looked like tv dinners. I really wanted to like it, but would never, ever go back. read more

I know this is a hot place for older people who just want straight breakfast items. I used to work there. After today's visit, I won't set foot again. The food has turned even more mediocre (if that's even possible) since I worked there. My home potatoes where cold and bland. The green chile was the only thing got on my plate, and I dare to guess it's because the green chile is keeps in the steam table. On top of my food being cold, I had to wait for the server to bring my condiments AFTER my food was served. Service was cold like my plate. Oh well. At least the Waffle House serves their food hot. That's where I'll be spending my hard earn money next time. Giving it 2 starts out of respect. read more

First visit and won't be my last, had chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes abs gravy were the perfect compliment to the chicken. Looking forward to my next visit already, Thursday or Friday to try open faced turkey read more

Very good food and service is absolutely great, if you want a good breakfast place to eat Sheldons will do

My husband has been here many times but my first. WOW! Nothing like the taste of home-cooked meal like mom used to make. He had the chicken fried chicken to which was his first time of having and yes his plate was clean and I had the Open-Face Roast Beef (1/2 size) but still had a huge amount.. Then I had the Gourmet Vanilla Ice Cream & my husband is having the Peach Cobbler Alamode and yes I had to taste it so you could know what it tasted like...... this is what I thought, "WOW, that was amazing!!!" Yummy!!!! The customer service here was great...... I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.... they are currently redoing their parking lot to make sure it looks good and repainted inside. read more

Came in on a Thursday for lunch and didn't expect much, but man the place was bumpin and all the food coming out looks awesome! The turkey special definitely tempted me, but I chose the patty melt with American instead of swiss and cup of soup with iced tea. Man that ham n bean soup was good, great first impression! My patty melt was good and the biggest I've ever seen! The waitress seemed nice and friendly and under control considering the rush. I love the old diner feel of this place, the friendly attentive staff, and the home cooked food, yes yes yes! My only problem is how full I am wah wah waaah read more

Mmmm, excellent food, reasonable price, the "inflation" charge is ridiculous.

Sheldon's is exactly what you'd expect from a place in strip mall with a $7.50 chicken fried steak breakfast. It's just right. My friend Bob refuses to go anywhere else for a breakfast get-together so I admit I would not have gone in otherwise. That being said, having had breakfast at Sheldon's a half dozen times or so, I think this place is awesome. Bob (I call him Bobert cuz it's funny) says he eats hear because it cheap, the people are friendly and because there aren't any damn hipsters there. It's true, none at all. I should add, Bobert would never say 'damn' but it'll be good for a laugh next time I see him. To the pretentious, asshat, "foodies" who get down on this place for the Wonder Bread serve or the old, dated look... are you for real?! Look around, get a grip... do life with a little understanding of context. And for the love of Pete, learn to enjoy things for what they are. You don't take a dump on a delicious piece of fried chicken because it's not Ortolan. You will not find the words 'artisanal' or 'hand crafted' or 'vegan' on the Sheldon's menu. There will not be a carafe of ice cold cucumber water while you wait to be seated. If you ask where the eggs come from, the response will very from "the store" to "up you're... you get the idea. You want a chicken fried steak breakfast for $7.50? Go to Sheldon's. read more

Good ole fashion kitchen like the diners in Pennsylvania along the highways, in little towns etc. my little hamburger was actually big and made me full. It comes with fries and a pickle. It was tasty and the fries were like carnival fries, double !! The atmosphere was a nice diner setting!! read more

great food, huge servings... open face turkey sandwiches are fantastic. Breakfast pancake is enough for two read more

I've only had their open face turkey sandwich and their Reuben. Both leave plenty to be desired. It's not bad food, but there are certainly better place to go in town. The open face turkey sandwich (Thursday's only) is one of the things they are known for. The turkey is only average. Very plain tasting. The mashed potatoes and gravy are similarly pretty bland. It's all served over a piece of wonder bread. As you can imagine, the bread turns into a tortilla thickness piece of mush. Serve all of it over a hearty piece of good bread and it might be memorable. As it stands, it's only memorable in how bland it is. read more

Had chicken fried steak, two eggs, home fries and toast for $10. Wow it was good. Friend had breckfast bureto that he greatly enjoyed. Excellent table service. A local go to favorite. Parking lot in strip center. Meat specials for lunch always filling. read more

Overpriced for the quality of the food. The flavors and quality are comparable to Waffle House, but this place costs a lot more. At the time of our visit, one staff member was wearing a political T-shirt that made dining there incredibly uncomfortable. With all the great breakfast places around, this is not a place that I'll come back to. read more

Are you looking for a clean friendly place to have a wonderfully simple breakfast or lunch, go to Sheldon's,

Just had a delicious bowl of ham & bean soup, served on Fridays. Side salad was iceberg lettuce, cheese, onion, tomatoes and green peppers. Salad was simple, but good. Decor is a throwback to the 60's. They serve breakfast all day, closes at 2 PM. Older clientele, not a place tourist would seek out. But the locals know about this gem. read more

You gotta love an old school diner with good old home cooking. The clientele is full of local regulars. On weekends, it's a favorite spot for people going up or coming down from the mountains. I had the hot roast beef and cheese sandwich and added a cup of green chile. Enjoyed both very much. You have to understand what you're getting. Its not some fancy 5 star joint with professional interior designed look. It's a local diner/hang-out and it's good. The service is prompt and friendly and the food is stick to your ribs tastiness. read more

A genuine greasy spoon! The type of food I love (unfortunately, it shows;). I ate a late breakfast here for the first time over the weekend. I've eaten breakfast late before but not here;) Chicken fried steak, two eggs, home fries and two pieces of toast which was around $7.50. The food, which I could not finish simply because there was too much, was great. My eggs, over easy, were cooked wonderfully! Chicken fried steak was the usual, nothing spectacular or extraordinary, but tasted great. Over all, the food was good, greasy spoon food. Staff was friendly and attentive. It is an older place, not dirty but older looking. There is a fairly large counter to sit at with a TV for your viewing pleasure. The dining area is good size as well. It's a greasy spoon, nothing more, nothing less. I'll go back for sure!!!! read more

A hole in the wall old school café with throwback style. I had the grilled roast beef with peppers and onions smothered with cheese. My son had the jumbo ( for real ) hamburger , both meals were good comfort food. Yes it's aged and maybe a little greasy spoon like but I liked my meal. I don't get the springs often but if I was in the neighborhood I would stop by for a bite. read more
