Pete's Kitchen ~ Denver, Colorado

1962 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206

Pete's has a full-on diner vibe and feels like it has been around for 50-60 years. (Actually, as of this writing, it's more like 30 +/-.) After coming for diner coffee with some regularity after morning runs, I tried breakfast here some 5 or so years ago. What I was served aligned with what I had been seeing over the counter for quite some time: good food, served pretty quickly, large portions, very tasty. My go-to breakfasts here are the breakfast burrito supreme, smothered (of course!) in their very tasty green chile (not very spicy - for you sweat-seekers). This large portion has ham, sausage, bacon and gyros all in one package, as well as eggs, hash browns, cheese - the works! Have also had their biscuits & gravy - not too shabby - and country-fried steak (also respectable). Their gyros - as a Greek place - are also excellent. Perhaps my fave is just to go with a traditional sausage & eggs breakfast, with a scoop of green chile on the raw fries (raw fries beat hash browns every time!)

Know that there will be a line out the door mid-morning on Saturday or Sunday.
