More Good Eats: The Denver Diner
Right on the edge of town, where Speer Blvd crosses Colfax Avenue is a diner befittingly named, The Denver Diner. It sits across the street from the downtown Fire Station and above Cherry Creek which runs just below street level along Speer Blvd. A good sized neon sign alerts you to its presence and the four sided wall to wall windows allow you to see the heartbeat of action inside.
The Denver Diner is open 24 hours a day, this fact alone makes it quite a commodity in the Mile High City. There are old school vinyl booths and steel topped tables - all with a view to the street outside so you can watch the city wander by. The coffee is always ready and there is pie for dessert- even if the only meal you had planned was dessert.
As Diners go, the menu is pretty good and varied enough to offer something for everyone. Whether you are in need of a traditional breakfast, a quick business lunch, a fun dinner before you head home or an after show munchies attack- the menu will not let you down. Alicia and I went the other night and she had the catfish which came with jalapeno hush puppies. I could have made a meal of those hush puppies alone. When you are in the mood for a diner, to feel a slice of home or to prolong a great day, the Denver Diner will not let you down. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff to help you find exactly what it is you are looking for. Try the Rocky Mountain Trout, or the delicious array of pies, or the Lemon Herbed chicken. I can’t vouch for fish or the chicken as a vegetarian, but Alicia says they are delicious! I can tell you that the green beans are just like Mom used to make at home, and that’s something!
Located on the south east corner of Speer and Colfax with a good sized parking lot and hours you cannot beat- 24/7. The Denver Diner has what you need.
