Giang PhamDecember 16, 2016Amazing diner food with huge portion for very reasonable price! We got Kitchen Sink Skillet and it was so freaking good. You can never go wrong with Fish and Chips either.
Jake SmithMay 26, 2014The green chili burger is fantastic. I highly recommend replacing the beef patty with a buffalo patty; it offers a slightly different texture which really makes the dish.
John FarlowJuly 22, 2013If you come on a weekend and can do so, head straight to the bar. Little to no wait, quick service, and Justin the bartender is a cool dude.
Alfonso BecerraFebruary 14, 2015Any of the eggs benedict. You can't go wrong. The hollandaise sauce is to die for. Have some space left... monster cinnamon roll or root beer float
Kelly WeaverJuly 24, 2022Spero’s Breakfast Burrito was on point…and enormous (I ate half). Great spot with quick, friendly service and a close walk to our hotel and convention center.
Shannon SewellDecember 6, 2019Had breakfast, mimosa as well as a beermosa which was fantastic. Came back for lunch the next day. Good food, extensive menu and great atmosphere. We will definitely come back when I’m town again
Nathan WrightMay 30, 2017The menu is huge and so are the portions. Bonus: breakfast is served all day! I recommend the Kitchen Sink Skillet. It's as advertised - large, delicious and overflowing with all the good things.- MarsDecember 9, 2014This spot was featured on Diners Drive-Ins And Dives. I got the Kitchen Sink last time I played the Denver area. Green Chili is bomb.
Booziest breakfast drinks you'll ever have - try the screwdriver. Bartenders and wait stuff friendly and fun. The wait can be long on the weekends but you can usually skunk I seat at the counters.
SlimJenkinsSeptember 12, 2017Had the international sausage breakfast. Came with an Italian sausage and....I forget the other. The sausages were huge. Great place. Menu is like the yellow pages. Soooo many items.
Tim SheaApril 1, 2017Amazing food, huge portions, and great service. Helpful tip, counter seating is FCFS, so if there is a long wait and you're a small group, try that!
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The menu is voluminous, with eight pages crammed with specials and sides and extras. 15 kinds of burgers, 21 breakfast burritos and a full page of Mexican grub. Read more
Brad FlahertySeptember 10, 2013Pretty much anything is good here. Although the breakfast burrito is pretty spectacular too. Ask for Anthony the guy is literally the best server in the joint and in all of Denver.
They make a really awesome bloody Mary! I line that you have many options to substitute for home fries now.
Robert AdkinsAugust 11, 2017The hash was great, big chunks of home made corned beef, crispy fried potatoes and sweet onions...
Phillip CohenJune 5, 2013The portion sizes here are simply large. But if you are feeling like you need something lighter, ask for the 1+2+1 special. 1egg plus 2 bacon or sausage plus 1 coffee cake.
Paul MianoFebruary 11, 2017I've only had the breakfast, but everything is cooked very well and with generous portions. Bring your appetite if you get a breakfast burrito.
Joel JamesApril 20, 2014If you want some comfort food, can't make up your mind... HOLY FIRECRACKER~!!! I've eaten all over the world and this is the BEST 'Comfort' food anywhere...
Joshua OckensMay 29, 2018Super friendly and fast service, large portions, and an even larger menu selection!
Rachel KNovember 13, 2014The vegetarian breakfast burrito is even better topped with avocado and vegetarian green chili.
Amy CummingsMarch 25, 2023Oh my goodness this is a hearty breakfast. Huge portion sizes so split if you can!
Erwin SalbachApril 7, 2017Has always been a good go to Diner for after shows at the DCPA, Paramount, Convention Center, etc, or for breakfast. Heck, there isn't a a bad time to go, really! 🙂
Jerry Von SpreckenMarch 9, 2018Breakfast burritos are awesome & doesn’t forget the green chile sauce
Tim LoomisFebruary 21, 2018I haven’t had anything on the menu that I haven’t liked but my favorite item is the Steak Fajita Burrito
Hilary LaurieNovember 20, 2011This place can get crowded on a Sunday AM, so I suggest going straight to the back and grabbing a stool near the bar. Leave the booths for the bigger groups :)
Super popular breakfast spot...service at the bar is good and fast- DesireeJune 18, 2014Great Breakfast selection. Kitchen Sink omelette was good and filling. The Pork Green Chile is delicious on everything!
David 🍻Brock🍻August 20, 2014Two or less? Grab a spot at the counters or head to the back bar area! Otherwise your wait is going to be a while.... 😀
Mayor HeidiTown.comJune 11, 2012Long waits on the weekend, but worth it if you have time time. The green pork chili is the best & they will put it on anything - just ask.
Derek HopkinsMarch 24, 2013They have the best drink for cheap on the weekends. Sit at the counter its faster and first come first. Awesome food and staff
Brandy M.August 22, 2021Mimosas are tall and strong! Food portions are huge and delicious, so come hungry!
Ana CedenoJuly 3, 2013Awesome Juevos Rancheros - You wont be hundgry after you leave here! - Try something out of the ordinary - Like Naked Canadian
Jesse BagelsMarch 4, 2014The perfect all-around diner. Gets it right, from the archetypical diner coffee to the perfectly cooked steak & eggs. Doesn't forget to butter your toast or refill your mug.
Shannon POctober 15, 2012Fast and accommodating for large parties (greater than 6). The havana skillet was HUGE and delicious. Enough food for 2.
Can't get enough. Serving sizes are HUGE for everything. Service is usually amazing.
Kecia HeldJuly 6, 201330 min wait on Saturday lunch but totally worth it. They could put their green chili on cardboard and I would eat it!
Randi RoatcapDecember 2, 2012Worth the wait for breakfast! Delicious, massive amounts of food & reasonably priced. Watch the counter for faster seats.
The Homemade Corn Beef Hash is excellent, and I'm not talking smoked hash.
Jeremy GarberOctober 14, 2016Excellent food with ridiculously big portions, but prepare for at least an hour wait.
Steven KayeMay 12, 2022Coney dog was yummy, plus they take COVID precautions and require masks, which is cool.
Brent MillerJune 22, 2016A good option if you need a drink while waiting for your room to be available at a nearby hotel.- Joshua OckensMay 29, 2018Go for the Shamrock Burger....great combination of burger and Ruben sandwich!
