"We came in with friends and sat outside on the patio for my husband’s birthday. The cinnamon roll and country fried steak were to die for! The waitress, Juliana was warm, knowledgeable about the menu, and came by to refill drinks, sauces, and butter without ever having to be asked. We will certainly be back!"

"We really appreciate the warm welcome of the staff. They made sure that we can choose where we will be seated. Their service shows how passionate they are and not just for the sake of working there. In addition to the ambiance of the place. From the background music that will help you relax while checking the menu. And their food, which is not only generous in serving but the quality and taste, really justifies the price. We’ve been to several diners in Denver but we found a gem here in FOCO. Kudos!"

"In town for work and a local suggested it for breakfast. It was great. I started looking at all the historical items and owner came over and we talked for about 20mins while he gave a history of the place."
