You can search high, low, and everywhere in between—but when it comes to the best diner Denver has to offer, all roads lead to Sam’s No. 3. We’ve been serving up belly-filling favorites for decades, and let’s just say—we don’t do “small plates” around here. Whether you’re craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we’re ready.
Rise and Shine with Breakfast That Doesn’t Quit
We don’t just serve breakfast—we champion it. From early morning hustle to late-night cravings, our breakfast menu is a full-day celebration. You’ll find classics like the Denver Omelet, stuffed with diced ham, onion, bell pepper, and melty American cheese. Or go big (like really big) with Momma’s Big Fat Omelet—six eggs and enough meat and veggies to satisfy an entire brunch party.
Looking for something different? No problem. Try our Challah French Toast, Sweet Cream Pancakes, or the fully loaded Breakfast B.B.B.B.B.L.T.—a bacon-lover’s dream served with scrambled eggs and American cheese.
Why Locals Call Us the Best Diner in Denver
Let’s talk about range. We’re not a one-trick pony. Our menu is massive—and we mean that in the most delicious way possible. Burgers? Check. Salads? You bet. Mexican plates, Greek favorites, comfort classics, vegetarian-friendly fare? All on the table.
Don’t miss the Coney Island Specials section—featuring our Coney Hamburger Steak and Curtis Street Burger, both smothered in Sam’s signature red chili. And if you’re craving comfort, our Hot Turkey Sandwich and Meatloaf Melt bring that Sunday-dinner-at-Yiayia’s vibe any day of the week.
Lunch and Dinner That Don’t Mess Around
Midday meals and dinnertime feasts get just as much love. Our Buffalo Chicken Breast Salad packs heat and crunch, while the Colorado Cheez Steak piles grilled steak strips, sautéed veggies, and cheese into a handheld masterpiece.
Prefer something on the spicy side? We’ve got Chorizo Tacos, Steak Fajita Burritos, and even the infamous sMACdown Burrito, stuffed with tater tots, mac-n-cheese, and Kickin’ Pork Green Chili. It’s like comfort food met chaos and decided to throw a party.
Why We’re Denver’s Favorite Diner (And Proud of It)
We’re more than just the best diner Denver knows—we’re a whole vibe. From our massive menu and wild portion sizes to our no-nonsense prices and friendly service, we keep it real. We don’t do tiny bites or sky-high prices. We do flavor, warmth, and enough food to require a to-go box.
Whether you’re solo, on a lunch break, brunching with your crew, or feeding your whole extended family, we’ve got something for everyone. And we’re not just in it for the food—we’re here for the laughs, the regulars, the “I’ll have the usual,” and the “Holy smokes, that was amazing.”
