Grew up close to this place in the 70s but never went. My father used to come here for coffee. Been in business for 57 years. Unexpectedly finally went today and it was great! Can finally take this iconic Colorado diner off my foodie bucket list. Per server Dee was so friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. Food was everything you want an old timey greasy spoon diner to be. Steak and eggs was tasty and a very large portion. Coffee was good, strong and hot. Place was clean and many customers and staff seemed to know each other. The Cheers of diners! Lots of parking in the back and right off Colfax.

I stopped in at Davies' for breakfast today with an older couple that I know. It's a retro diner with plenty of seating and great lighting. You can easily do up to eight people. I loved the black and white photo of Audrey Hepburn as well as the Beatles in the area we sat in. I ended up getting their barbacoa breakfast tacos, eggs sunny-side up. I thoroughly enjoyed the plate; the arrangement was top notch and was very eye catching as a result. I got it with corn tortillas and the barbacoa was juicy without being overly messy which made for a pleasant eating experience. All in all, it's got charm and character along with reasonably priced food. I'd definitely come back another time.

Honestly, I stopped here because it was the only place open to go to the bathroom, but I stayed for the food, and what a treat the food was! Some of the best diner breakfast I've ever had! I got the barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas! The house made salsa verde was incredible!

I've been here a few times and it never disappoints The Country Fried Steak is so good! Freshly made at Davie's every day! Highly suggest! Excellent sausage gravy, fantastic potatoes, perfect eggs and tasty sourdough toast. The service is also spot on. Friendly, great recommendations and give it the hometown diner feel. It is such a solid diner. Playing oldies the entire time, old pleather seating, cool pictures on the wall and of course diner seating. Also, very affordable comparatively to just about everything else around! Give it a try, it's worth it! .

I really enjoyed visiting this Denver diner that's been around since the 1950s. I'd guess quite a bit of the interior is original, so 70 years old. I sat at the counter and the design has worn off where plates have been placed over the decades. But it's fun to visit and the food is good. I had steak and eggs with hash browns and pancakes, and a cinnamon roll. Pancakes were fluffy and light. Hash browns were perfectly cooked and crispy on top. The cinnamon roll was amazing: buttery and sweet. My only issue was the steak. I ordered medium rare and it was more on the medium side. And it was kind of salty. But it was decent. I ate all of it. The highlight, though, was the service. Super friendly and everyone seems to enjoy working there. My server was very attentive. She topped my coffee off numerous times and was very nice. I asked to have my cinnamon roll after I was done with my steak and eggs, and she timed it perfectly so that she gave me my roll hot and fresh just as I was taking my last bite of steak and eggs. Amazing! If you're looking for good "greasy spoon" diner food, this is a great option.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast during our trip from Denver to Alma. Opted to get a cinnamon roll rather than a pancake or waffle as my "breakfast sweet". This is the absolute best cinnamon roll I have ever had. God took extra time when blessing the mind of the person who came up with this recipe, and the hands of the one who made this specific roll. The pastry has the perfect fluffy top that is complimented by the moist, flavorful spice blend in the core. You can find a healthy serving of butter & frosting on the side of the cinnamon roll that enhances the roll beyond imagination. Not sure what you're doing if you come to Denver and don't grab one of these life changing cinnamon rolls. I'll forever be chasing the high I felt when experiencing a Davie's Chuck Wagon Diner Cinnamon Roll. 10/10, highly recommend. I'll be day dreaming in Houston about this pastry for days to come.

I have been going to Davie's for decades. I remember going here when my son was just a toddler. I have taken family and friends here, even going by myself recently. I have fond memories of being here with my grandfather who passed away 2 months ago. It is a very typical diner and gets busy especially on weekends. I love the pictures of Betty Boop, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe on the walls. They play great music (to me) as well! I have heard 50's big band swing to the 70s and 80s rock. Prices are extremely reasonable and of course their hot chocolate is delicious! I am a kid at heart, I love hot chocolate. I don't drink coffee. My favorite here is the chuckwagon breakfast with a side of biscuits. Parking is plentiful behind the building. They have both steps and a ramp for ADA compliance. There is seating both indoor and outdoor (on nice days). It is easily found off West Colfax between Garrison and Kipling on the north side of the street. They close by 3pm every day. I know they open early but not sure what time. I am not a morning person or at least I likely will not be visiting here early in the morning. I have a quark about eating breakfast for lunch (brunch). Davie's also offers a locals discount when you get 'x' amount of visits or purchases, then you get a certain amount off. I forgot the amount. I believe it is either 10 or 12 visits. They offer both breakfast and lunch items. For lunch, I have enjoyed their Mushroom & Swiss burger and their Hawaiian burger is pretty good too. Tip: make sure what you want is in the to-go bag before leaving. I have asked for certain things or requested things NOT be included and they have either given me what I didn't want, or left out what I wanted. Yes, I am a thorough and selective person. I expect to get what I pay for. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience.

One of my wife's and my early dates was when we went out to what was then a backwoods area--free from the city lights of Denver near Chief Hosa. We laid out a blanket and watched the Perseid meteor shower. So breathtakingly beautiful. Afterwards we decided we were hungry and so once the sun was up we decided to go to Davies' Chuck Wagon Diner for an early breakfast. Had the Chuck Wagon Breakfast of steak, eggs, hash browns and toast, that's still on the menu these 20 years later. Cost I think around $4.95 or so back then. Today the price has risen to $9.95, but it's still a great deal. And what's the best thing about that 46 ton railroad car diner that was shipped out to Denver I think back in the 50s or early 60s and is now on the National Historic Registry? Well they're still serving the same Chuck Wagon Breakfast. We were driving up to the mountains yesterday and happened to be going by the diner when we both looked over at each other and without saying a word reached out squeezing each other's hands and smiled. Turned into the diner parking lot, and went in and ordered the same meals. So lemme ask you this . . . how could I give anything less than a 5 star rating to Davies'? Sign me, David "Lucky in love" M
