Good food, friendly service. We loved that orders came up from the kitchen in the same order that they were placed.

On Saturday morning, January 24, 2026, my dad and I stopped at the Down Home Diner in Cheyenne for breakfast and were there from about 8 to 9 AM. My dad is a regular here, and it showed. The staff treated both of us very well, greeted him warmly, and made us feel welcome right away. We sat at the counter, our order was taken quickly, and service stayed efficient throughout the visit. The diner had a steady but manageable crowd, giving it that classic, working-diner feel without feeling rushed.
I ordered the country fried steak with two sunny-side-up eggs, hash browns, an English muffin, and a glass of iced tea. The food came out fairly quickly. The country fried steak was exactly what you’d expect from an old-school truck stop diner—nothing fancy, but solid and filling. The eggs were definitely sunny side up, with the whites still a little runny, which may or may not be your thing. The hash browns were on the colder side, and the English muffin was just okay; I didn’t finish either of them. I’ll also admit I’m picky about tea, and the black tea didn’t have much flavor, so that was a miss for me.
Overall, this was a straightforward diner breakfast with friendly, familiar service. The food didn’t stand out, but it was consistent with what you’d expect from a place like this. What really made the visit was how well they treat their regulars, especially my dad. This is a good spot if you’re looking for a classic diner experience, quick service, and a place where locals clearly feel at home, even if the food itself is more about comfort than anything special.

We have been living on the island of Maui for 19 years. One of the things we missed is truck stop Cafes. This place has excellent food. The portions are very large and shareable if need be. It is super affordable and the staff are the nicest people. Great customer service. Can't wait to go back.

We had a great experience at the Down Home Diner. I had the fish dinner with a baked potato, and it was excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My wife ordered the chili cheeseburger; it might not have been the prettiest plate, but it was absolutely fantastic. The service was outstanding—very attentive and always checking to see if we needed refills on drinks or coffee. If you enjoy good, honest home-style cooking, this is definitely a place worth stopping at. We’ll be back!
I always enjoy downtown diner for its cozy, Homestyle atmosphere and food. I love their meatloaf and potatoes, all of their omelets and hash browns, the waitresses are fantastic and the prices are very reasonable!

Get rid of the manager and the place would be great 👍

The servers at the Down Home Diner are just down right good friendly people. Growing up in the south you’d call them “my people”. Big servings for the price, tasty comfort food that warms the soul. 9.75 out of 10 for me!
