Pete’s Kitchen

The breakfast burrito in this place is one of the best I have ever had in my life. Will be back for more whenever possible.

I’ve been here several times and each visit is better than the last. Great atmosphere and even greater food and service. Love sitting at the counter. Try the breakfast burrito with green chili sauce. WOW!!!

What is Denver without Pete’s?! This is my go to post-​night out recovery zone. After going hard in the paint with my friends, all I want is a French Dip Sandwich and a side of fries from Pete’s Kitchen. The au jus brings me back to life. It literally staves off gnarly hang-​overs, and for that I am truly grateful. Going to Pete’s at 2AM is always the one thing I don’t regret after a wild night. I love you Pete’s Kitchen!

Great place for late-​night munchies. Classic diner feel from the layout to the staff. Mostly breakfast menu, with greek options, too. Very few veggie options but when you’re at Pete’s, you’re probably looking less for health and more for satisfying cravings (think pancakes or gyros). Pete’s is a must-​visit in Denver with its rich history, great reputation and good greasy food. They can prove it with the various celeb photos up on the walls!

I’ve been coming here for years. Excellent food. My f SC or items is the Gyro Melt with fries. The coffee is pretty good too. I’ve never ordered something that didn’t taste really good. Everything is delicious. Friendly atmosphere and quick service.

Try out Petes Kitchen for some delicious late night food! We were all a bit sceptical while pulling up to Petes Kitchen. Let’s be honest, most diners open ²⁴⁄₇ don’t have the best of reputation for a reason. I would still agree with the stereotypical outlook on 24 hour diner if it weren’t for Petes. Great late night food, atmosphere and service. Food came out fast/​fresh and we were in and out.

Great food, fast paced atmosphere. Food came out fast, we were in and out. Great recommendations by the server. Green chili and omelette.

I remember eating a lot of early morning breakfasts here when I moved from New Orleans to Denver. First time in my life I ate a gyro for breakfast. But then I switched to their breakfast burritos and coffee. But if you’re single and want a 24 hour breakfast than this is he spot. Before I moved away from Capitol Hill, Pete’s scrambled eggs hit the spot.

This is our second time here TODAY. We both aye the same thing. The supreme breakfast burrito. Don’t even look at the menu, just order it. You’re welcome

Friendly service, looks like a spot lots of locals go to. I had the breakfast burrito supreme– it was amazing, but is massive. Share it!

Pete runs a tight ship. All servers here must be efficient, smart, and happy. Cleanliness is of high importance, the dishes must sparkle, and their are chores for slow times It’s one of his prized places and he sends the less than perfect elsewhere. I didn’t meet the standard, but I was graciously offered a job at the Satire (I declined).
I’ve eaten almost everything on the menu. My favorites are the greek salad (omg this is fresh and huge), the lemon chicken soup, the breakfast burrito, pancakes, fresh cut fries, and their cheese steak sandwhich (steak made fresh at the order, I didn’t like the chicken one at all). I stopped eating meat since then, but almost everything can be made without meat. A vegan might have a tricky time eating here, but that’s the worst one can say now. Consistency, efficiency, cleanliness and customer service are all emphasized here. Sometimes a waitress isn’t meant for it or the cook has worked a long shift, but for the most part everything is above average to excellent. I’m saying this as a rejected employee and customer of over a decade. I’d still go back without hesitation. It’s a must have Denver experience.

Prior to tonight, I have never been here sober, so I was never sure if the food was any good? Well… it is! Add to that that just now, they had us all sing happy birthday to one of the guests! Awesome. And the wait and line cooks are the best in town! Sit at the counter and watch this well oiled machine in process!

Hey, if your looking for a spot that’s open forever and serves the breakfast your looking for, this is your spot. Especially if your roaming the streets of colfax with that one idiot friend who won’t shut up about getting something to eat after a late night out

Pete’s Kitchen is conveniently located a block away from my home and just so happens to be open ²⁴⁄₇. With that being said, I’ve frequently visited Pete’s on several occasions. It’s definitely diner food, but that’s one of the main reasons why I like it! I also like the fact that you can order absolutely anything on their menu at any time you please. It might have something to do with the fact that they never close, but I’m not too fond of time-​restrictive menu options. Pete’s Kitchen has a variety of foods, so you’re almost guaranteed to find something to satisfy your appetite.

I am a Pete’s Kitchen fan. I love the cozy diner atmosphere, with nice booths and the homey «sit wherever you want» invitation when you walk in (the only limitation being saving the big booth in the back for larger parties). I love that it is open 24 hours. Pete’s is reliable — always there for you — early morning breakfast before a trip to the mountains; late night post party/​movie snack; lunch for one at the counter. The service caters to your needs: a quick bite or a place for a long conversation. The food is that of a diner. You don’t go for a foodie experience. You go for warm food and a warm atmosphere.
The owners are Greek so the menu has lots of Greek choices, along with breakfast anytime and plenty of great sandwiches and American meals.

Come here for ²⁴⁄₇ service and Greek/​breakfast food cravings. The breakfast burrito supreme is a great deal: FOUR kinds of meats in a giant burrito smothered with green chile and cheese. I also love the gyros plate. Every time I’ve been here the service has been very quick and the food comes out lightning speed! Very divey/​diner style atmosphere.

I was a little hesitant to try a place that’s open ²⁴⁄₇ due to the extreme ‘divey-​ness some of these types of places usually exhibit, but I was pleasantly surprised by Pete’s (disclaimer — I was there during the week and around 9 AM). I can imagine the scene being different at 2 AM, but alas, those days are long gone… (sob!). Anyway…
I walked in and was surprised by how small the restaurant was especially since they have a huge private parking lot that was mostly full. The restaurant, however, had several open tables as well as space at the counter (who did all those cars in the lot belong to, then??). In addition to the main section of the restaurant where the counter seating is located, they also have an enclosed patio area with about eight tables, or so. I sat on the patio, and while not a true open patio (the windows open, I suppose, for a more ‘outdoor’ experience when it’s warmer/​cooler, I dunno), it was pleasant out there.
I perused the menu and decided on the ‘Jimmy’s Special Omelet’ (don’t know who Jimmy is, or why there isn’t a Pete’s Special Omelet, but whatever — am I rambling??). This omelet is filled with bacon, feta, and tomato and comes with potatoes and toast. My very nice server asked if I wanted toast or pita, and I opted for pita. The meal came to the table with tzatsiki, but I don’t know if that comes with this dish normally or only if you order the pita. And I also had iced tea. The food was pretty good, not great, but good. The omelet was more like a shell or crêpe of egg wrapped around a ton of bacon and feta and a small amount of tomato. I wouldn’t have minded a little more tomato and a little less feta, but all-​in-​all, it was pretty tasty. The hash browns seem more like skillet potatoes than what I’m used to as hash browns, but were tasty nevertheless.
The restaurant was clean and bustling with business (doesn’t anyone around here work??). The servers kept the tables bussed as people left so there were no dirty plates or anything sitting around. My server was great. She was pleasant, friendly, and efficient. The iced tea was replenished before it was empty.
In a nutshell, I liked it here and will return. Soon.

I’ve been trying to find a place like this for a while. I came in for breakfast and it was surprisingly slow, so we were seated immediately and chose one of the booths. I had a hard time ordering because there were so many choices and all of the dishes surrounding me looked so good. I ended up ordering their breakfast, eggs, french toast, bacon and hashbrowns. They gave me literally like 6 strips of bacon and a giant pile of hashbrowns. It was awesome! My boyfriend ordered the mexican burger and wasn’t a huge fan. The meat was a little tough and dry as were the beans, but he really liked the sauce. Our server was really great and personable and I look forward to visiting again!

T-​bone was tough. Mashed potatoes had no flavor.
Breakfasts have been good here. But I’m not coming back. Today’s food and Fox on the TV have done it for me

Our hotel was just a couple blocks from this Denver institution. I think had we not wanted to try a couple other places in town we would have eaten here everyday for every meal during our visit.
Open 24 hours. Lots of diner selections on the menu. Everything from burgers to T-​Bone steaks. But let me just say «breakfast burrito». That is all. Order it every time you go here and go here all the time. $ 9…with ham, hash browns and a couple of scrambled eggs. They wrap all that in a tortilla and smother it in cheese and American or green chili — get the green. Just do it!
This is the kind of diner you want on the corner of your street. Quick service, experienced short order cooks, line out the door on Sunday mornings, families and single folks sitting at the counter on the little round stools.
And don’t leave without getting a shake. When you see $ 5 for a shake you may pass on it. Don’t. It was ice cream and milk and actual chocolate syrup drizzled down the inside of the glass. Topped with a ton of whipped cream and sprinkles — yes, sprinkles! It was exactly like you want it to be. Old fashioned, calorie filled heaven. Take a date here and share this.
I really would become a regular if I lived in Denver.

Open 24 hours, great staff and service.
This place is a Greek breakfast place. But it seemed like the chefs and a lot of the staff spoke Spanish. Came in at around 5 in the morning to get breakfast to go since i had a long day on the road ahead. I seated myself at the counter. There were about a handful of customers eating breakfast at the same time.
The waitress came up to me shortly after i sat down and offered me some water. I looked through some of the reviews online and noticed that the breakfast burritos were pretty popular. So i decided to try the supreme breakfast platter out. Also was the special of the day so I lucked out!
It was absolutely delicious. It was like a mexican and greek hybrid dish. For $ 9, the breakfast burrito supreme seemed more like a breakfast enchilada it had two scrambled eggs, ham, gyro meat, sausage, hashbrowns, and green chili gravy. It was also huge! It was the only thing i ate all day long and it filled me up for dinner.
Highly recommend Pete’s to anyone passing through or staying in Denver. Convenient location and service at a great price!

WARNING… NEVER EAT HERE!!!
Was one of my favorite spots until they served us a strawberry pancake with some bug thingy on it… even the waitress agreed it was a bug… very disappointed with the way it was handled… they took off the price of the pancake as if they were doing us a favor not charging it on our bill… We hadn’t even taking a bite of the pancake yet … We had already eaten our meal and I’m not sure what else could have been in it… feeling sick to my stomach now. shame on you Pete’s Kitchen

One thing I wish about Denver is that places would stay open later than 2am. Its like I get off work and I have 3 options– Waffle House, which is nowhere close, King Soopers, where I get accused of theft, or a 24 hour gas station. Really? This is how I get to wind down after a 12+ hour day?
Then, one of my employees told about a 24 hr diner near my place that served hearty portions and tasted pretty good. So, I did my research, and decided to head out one night after work.
The first thing I noticed that I appreciated was plenty of free parking– don’t see that often. The next thing I noticed was you need to put some «oomph» in it when opening the doors– and make sure your face doesn’t get in the way. I have seen some noggins get whacked when entering!
It is a cozy diner, complete with a heated patio, booths, and a counter. Before seating yourself, greet the cashier and the old school cash register (don’t worry, they still accept credit).
My first visit I took my employees recommendation of the breakfast burrito smothered in green chile and cheese. Trust me, Unilocalers posted plenty of pics. I got mine with the gyro meat. Oh yea, I forgot to mention when you get seated they give you water. There is a reason for it. They either know I just came from work, or they have use a lot of sodium. I go through 2 – 3 glasses a visit here, sober.
The burrito was the bomb, and filling. However, I usually end up getting a gyro sandwich for dessert.
And yes, they get disappointed if I don’t get a second entrée when I come in! Then again, I usually come here on an empty stomach.
During certain times and nights this place does fill up with the drunks, but I have yet to see anything over the top.
The people are friendly, the food comes out quick, there is a lot of it, and I have yet to throw up after eating it. Looks like I will keep coming back!
