Guidebook for Denver
Food Scene
Open 24 hours! Has won many awards for being the best diner in Denver. Has been around since the 40's, and the food is so good!
Just a note: This is self seating. Wait in the line until it is your turn and then go sit at the next clean table. Don't leave the door open in the line when it is cold outside. Even if the line is around the block, you will be eating very quickly, I promise!
