Fine spot for American food. This place is absolutely outstanding. The service here is attentive. Prices were good for how much you get. Atmosphere is similar to a place in Columbus I loved.

A favorite place for American food. Staff treated us so kindly. The bill was reasonable I would say. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

One of my favorite locations for delicious American food. I was so stuffed. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. It has a good feel to it.

My favorite restaurant of all time. All of the waiters/waitresses I've had while I was here were the nicest most interesting people I have met. The food is great to match the design of the building. The best nights of my life have been at Tom's. Thank you guys for being amazing consistently.

I can’t not give this place 5 stars. The staff was awesome and the atmosphere is so cool. It’s like going back in time. The food is just ok, but they give you a lot of it, so there’s that. Pictured is the Silly Philly and the “Pancakes and Stuff” breakfast.

Been going here since the mid seventies when it was one of the White Spot chain. This one or the 8th and Broadway White Spot which is now torn down. Almost every weekend after a night out or the Grist Mill which is no longer here. I was very similar to White Spot. Azars Big Boy restaurant another similar place.All would usually have a very diverse crowd after bar closing and very few negative incidents. Glad Tom invested in it for so long. Good luck to you in retirement.

One of the best breakfast places in Denver. The crunchy French toast is to die for! It's an old diner that's been around for a long time, and has all of the classic 50s diner feels. Good hearty food, amazing staff. I love this place so much.

Not even lying, best waffle I've ever had. Utterly delicious. Our nice waiter, Myra, told us that the waffle is cooked 1 minute on each side for perfectly distributed fluff. The crisp outside compliments the soft inside and the sweet blueberrys blend so well with the creamy butter creating a beautiful harmony. A work of art! If you are in Denver you must try!

I loved every moment of being in this place... As someone else said, there's just something familiar about diners. This diner in particular - with the Googie architecture, and the old timesy feel - provides a nice level of comfort while dinning. I ordered the pasta with garlic bread. It was a huge plate, didn't think I could finish it... but I did! I then ordered the cheesecake which was actually really good! The whip créame on the side was a great touch! The server was friendly. The place wasn't packed. And overall it was great. Understand you're entering in a diner, which often sell more comfort food than gourmet dinners you'll find at gentrified restaurants in gentrified neighborhoods. The food here is great. The architecture is beautiful. Appreciate it all when you visit .

Great little diner. They have a wide variety of food to choose from, breakfast, burgers, salads, appetizers, etc. Their chicken fried steak, chicken tenders, burgers are all really good! Often get a chicken bacon quesadilla! And always get a pancake to go for my dog! Their pancakes are huge and fluffy too!

Nothing out of the ordinary here. It's average in a good way. There's the norms you would expect and the service is fine. It doesn't knock your socks off nor make you regret choosing it. I had a Belgian waffle that was very good with a side of bacon. I prefer my waffles a little darker than the norm, but forgot to ask for it. I was delighted when it came out fine regardless. (I hate mushy waffles and theirs are not.) If you want to relax and not have to worry about it, this is a good place. There were a few groups of friend in different parts of the dining area who all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Went here exploring the area - stumbled across it. The food was okay. Service, okay too. It seems like a 24 hour spot for a quick bite after a night out. Can't go wrong w fried food or one of the shakes. Overall OK experience.
