Sheldon's Luncheonette - Whats left of my fried steak and eggs - Diners Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Everything was amazing! Steak was perfect and perfectly cooked!! Eggs cooked perfectly!! Service was phenomenal! This was my first time here. I will definitely be back!!! read more

The food, the Service is fantastic and I have not yet to be disappointed. I will continue to go here every week as long as I can.

This is one of the great places in Colorado Springs to get a classic lunch always a good place to eat. I enjoy the fries.

Generally, I don't care for restaurants green chili, but it was very good here. The service was excellent. They always kept an eye on us for refilling our drinks and coffee. This place reminds me of a little retro diner. It is absolutely wonderful, and I look forward to coming back. read more

We've been looking for a no-frills old school diner and this is certainly it. We can't wait to go back. Crispy has browns, runny eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon that you can order "medium or crispy"--what more can ya want? Also, especially for being an old school diner, it's clean (as are the bathrooms) which I appreciate. read more

Sheldon's Luncheonette - Diners Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

An absolute hole in the wall fortunate find, suggested by a long-time employee in the industrial complex a street over. Sheldon's has been here 47 years and none of us working literally a block away knew. The best description I have of this place is "your grandma's cooking," and that's definitely a positive review coming from me. This place was the perfect diner-esque food without being greasy. I ordered your regular tuna sandwich, toasted bread, with macaroni salad, and it was a light but filling meal, which left room for homemade pie. Get your apple pie warmed up a la mode, it was absolutely the right choice. This affordable stop is a great, classic visit for the Springs, and while it seems to cater to a little older of a crowd, any age would definitely enjoy it. 4 stars for wonderful service and solid food, it's just nothing fancy or innovative. read more

Great food and excellent service! I had the breakfast chili rellanos plate. It was delicious. The staff is super attentive and kept my coffee cup full!! It's got a great fiber feel. read more

Very small but great food And service Parking good and location a little a field Great green chili read more

Sheldon's is second to none..I eat at restaurants at least 7 times a week between breakfast..lunch..and dinner..at least 3 of them are at Sheldon's on north Nevada..great service excellent food servings are more than generous and very well priced..5 stars from me read more

One of the worst breakfast places in town. Service was good, but the food is blah. Many better options.

Good food and excellent service, been going here on and off for 20 years! Typical diner experience, it's the staff and loyal customers that makes this place fun to eat at. It is definitely the go to for blue collar people. read more

Great breakfast joint. Open early. Serving working men their breakfast. Great lunch specials too. Ambiance is the old fashioned small town cafe. Friendly, efficient staff. read more

I have eaten here several times when in town. Only been here for breakfast. Always good service and tasty food cooked right. They offer a bone in ham steak that has a lot of flavor so that is what I always order. Also, their home fries are grilled, not deep fried. Will go back for sure. read more

This place was super busy. I wasn't impressed with the wonder bread white bread being served. Maybe I just didn't know what I was getting into going to this place. Came for the Turkey, Mashed potato, cranberry sauce, stuffing, sandwhich. First off didn't have stuffing. That's pretty ridiculous. Second it was on wonder bread. Everything seemed pre packaged and just not great. read more

Finally decided to try this place. So glad we did. Missed breakfast so did lunch. It was so good. The waitstaff were awesome. Will definitely be back to try breakfast. read more

I love going to Sheldon's. Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. It isn't fancy, but, that's not why I patronize restaurants. It is for the quality of their food. Sheldon's never skimps where quality is concerned. Their portions are hearty and very tasty. I hope y'all will visit and enjoy this locally owned gem! read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but welcoming, cozy and great food inside. What a hidden gem hole-in-the-wall. Solid menu for breakfast and lunch. Had the breakfast special. The eggs were perfect and the potatoes tasty. Reasonable prices. Will definitely go back. read more

Awesome, yummy, tasty; Awesome, yummy, tasty!!!!! I've had the fries, burger, tuna, Ruben, toasted cheese. All yummy read more

Sheldon's Luncheonette - Little burger and fries, yummyyyyyyu!!! - Diners Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

If you are thinking of eating here please rethink. This place is dirty the owner is rude and food is subpar. The waitress don't seem to care about their customers. There are many restaurants to pick from in Colorado Springs so pick another place. read more

I came here for breakfast with a friend who has eaten here before. I had the Jan's breakfast. Scrambled eggs with sausage bits, home fried potatoes, cheese and green chili sauce. All very mild but quite good. I will come back again and try the other breakfast items. read more

Whatever you do, do not get the ham. The service is great. Home fries are really soft and not crispy, but go for it if that's what you like. No flavor whatsoever. Doused everything in pepper and some hot sauce. Will probably never wind up here again read more

Great local diner, delicious! And large portions. I tried the tuna melt and it was one of the best I've ever had.

Giving four stars cause this place does what it sets out to do: nothing fancy, just simple diner food served to you with a smile. I had the breakfast burrito and my lunchmate had the pastrami sandwich. Both were lackluster, no frills (and in the case of the sandwich, no flavor), but not necessarily bad. What was really impressive were the portion sizes and the outstanding service! So fast! The staff was attentive and friendly as all get out. The vibe of the place was cool too, very old-school. If you just want some simple (if slightly bland) diner food at a good price, I would recommend checking it out. read more

Sheldon's Luncheonette - Breakfast Burrito - Diners Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Stopped in here for lunch with a few friends looking to get good food. The selection was reminiscent of the food my grandparents used to make on Sunday nights (chicken fried steak, pot roast, burgers, et.al) and felt cozy. Prices weren't bad and service was alright but nothing special. The portions are large but the food doesn't have much in the way of seasoning. If you're looking to get full for cheap and miss a bland home cooked meal stop in. read more

Didn't even order. First, for a kitchen-front restaurant, you'd expect the smell walking in to be of delicious food, right? Wrong! It smelled of old covered up water damage and some other funk. Next, the menu is ridiculously limited, the prices are astronomical compared to the size of the plates I saw (Milt's has all-you-can-eat yummy biscuits & gravy WITH eggs for around $5, here you get one serving, no eggs for $6), and how rude is it to have "No Substitutions!" in this day and age?! So, I can't get the chili cheese omelette with green chili in Colorado??? How does that even make sense?? Unfortunately, I don't see a second chance in Sheldon's future. read more

This may very well be the best place to eat in COS. Its old-school diner feel, lunch counter, and lots of locals make this a great experience. Its been here forever and its not hard to understand why. Comfort food at its finest. Chicken Fried Steak and the burgers are my go-to's. The prices are fantastic and the waitresses are super friendly. A COS classic! read more

Sheldon's Luncheonette - Junior Burger (8oz) and fresh cut fries! - Diners Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Best breakfast or lunch in town. Great staff and the cooks are fast.....awesome everytime!!

Whole in the wall place that has been around for decades. The vibe is very much "diner where the staff knows everyone's name". Went there this week with some co-workers and they kept raving about the open faced turkey sandwich. There's no frills to this place. Just delicious, well seasoned portions that are gargantuan. The open faced turkey sandwich reminded me of those second helping plates I look forward to grabbing on thanksgiving. Everything is cooked to order, with burgers sizzling on the flattop directly in front of you. Other coworkers snagged a burger and a roast beef melt that smelled heavenly. This places gets busy during the lunch rush, come by 11 or after 1 for the best service. read more

Ambiance: Sorta retro diner, circa early 1970's, with very little changed since then. Located in an aging strip mall on Nevada. Cylinder-block building. Inside, there is a counter with about ten stools, and a mixture of booths and tables. Sparsely decorated. Service: Though everyone I encountered was friendly and personable, I think the best way to describe the help is "lazy". My waitress was a middle-aged pleasant woman, but she messed up my breakfast order (I can forgive that, as she was quick to make the necessary changes). But she never checked back in with me on a rather quiet weekday mid-morning. Never refilled my empty coffee mug, which is a "sin" at breakfast time. Had to request my check when finished eating. Once I went up to counter to pay, the help was all chatting in the back kitchen. My waitress looked up and saw me standing at register to pay, made eye contact with me, but continued to stay in the back kitchen and chat with her co-workers. I had to wave at her, and summon her to the register so I could pay. Food: Standard breakfast fare, with sandwiches and American hot dish favorites at lunch. Food is decent, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would rate the food better than Denny's or I-Hop for sure, but for breakfast, there are way better independent joints in town (see my other reviews), and for home-style lunch, you can also do better. Overall, I really wanted to like this place more. I am a big proponent of little diners, over the franchise places. This place misses the mark in service, and their menu does nothing to set them apart. read more

Great little diner. Excellent breakfasts (tending towards the "huge" end of the scale) and their open face sandwiches are great (I prefer the turkey on Thursdays and Fridays). Service is diner casual; friendly, social but effective. If you're someone that needs lots of direct and immediate attentions to be happy (Hello, Princess....), you should go to Denny's.... Their prices are kind of middling; not cheap but not expensive. Certainly reasonable for the portions. This is one of my favorite places for comfort food! read more

If COMFORT is what you want, it is exactly what you will get! The open face hot roast beef sandwich is perfect - meat is melt in your mouth, and the gravy is good - not too salty. In the last week I have eaten 3 different items, and would recommend the Meatloaf - they have REAL whipped potatoes - not from a box -and they are light and perfectly whipped! The meatloaf is traditional - also the hint from the people who sent me to eat here was to try the open faced turkey - I personally like the roast beef better, but must concede that the white meat open faced turkey is really great too! Great flavor in the turkey, and again, the potatoes are whipped to perfection. Reasonal Prices, Friendly and helpful staff, Fabulous Food....they even take credit cards!.... read more

We love Sheldons! I have been going since I was a kid, it's always been great service, and great home cooked style food, no matter which location you choose, you'll definitely be satisfied. Don't forget dessert. Daily specials are always yummy and a great price. read more

Old school diner. Lots to like. Good greasy spoon environment. I had a Reuben. I've had better in town, but this left me satisfied. Potato salad was not the best choice however. Next time I might stick to the breakfast menu. read more

At $8.95 the lunch chicken fried steak seems at first glance a reasonable choice to make, yet it comes only with lackluster mashed potatoes as the single vegetable on the plate! How lacking in basic charm is that? Uninspired cream gravy over uninspired meat and uninspired potatoes? I will not be going back. Price was OK, but food was not. read more

Huge portions, down-to-earth and friendly staff. Pancakes as big as your head and home cooking yummy everything. A Colorado Springs staple.

Our waitress was really nice and really attentive. We came here for lunch and was impressed with the service and good food. The sandwiches are large and the fries are homemade and fresh. Our food came quickly to our table and piping hot. Will recommend to others as a nice lunch option with fast service and hot food! read more

Love Sheldon's! My hubby says their chicken fried steak is about the best he's ever had. I like the open face sandwiches. It's a DINER! Don't expect anything fancy, except for good old-fashioned comfort food. Disagree with previous reviewer...It's very easy to find. Northeast corner of Mount View and Nevada. Friendly staff and cooks, reasonable prices. Good food. What more can you ask for? They post coupons online, so try and find one! :) read more

I ate here this morning and I can't stop thinking about it! Pancakes were almost as big as my head, very tasty
