Davies Chuck Wagon Diner - Lakewood

After 60+ years, this place is still thriving. I worked nearby and have dined here frequently. It captures that cozy small-town diner vibe, even in the bustling Colfax area. I've sampled nearly everything on the menu, and everything has been delicious. The service is consistently excellent, and the prices remain quite reasonable. I prefer eating outside, but in my opinion, the best spot to sit is on the west side of the diner.

I discovered this place on Instagram, thanks to a recommendation from the_denver_foodie, and since we were in the area, we decided to check it out. It has a classic vibe, but the place could use a little cleaning—there were dusty window sills and food on the floor. However, the bathroom was spotless, the service was outstanding, and the food was genuinely impressive. My husband ordered an omelette with pancakes, while I chose the Hawaiian burger with onion rings and iced tea. I can be picky when it comes to iced tea, as I dislike when it’s old, but this iced tea was spot on. The burger was fantastic; it had a crispy exterior and was juicy and perfectly cooked inside without being overdone. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the music was excellent. We will definitely be returning!

Davies Chuck Wagon opened their doors and stayed late for our families' lunch together after our dad's funeral. We felt surrounded by angels with Vanilla milkshakes and, instead of halos, onion rings.

I ordered the chicken fried steak and it really hit the spot. Perfect diner hash browns and over-easy eggs. Cool vibe with salt-of-the-earth clientele. Wonderful waitress.

Classic feel, and they execute every part flawlessly! Even down to the coffee refills!
