Breakfast King

1100 S. Santa Fe Dr.

Denver, CO 80223

303-733-0795

The menu at this classic 24/7 diner is frozen in the early ´70s -- long before mainstream American food began taking on influences from other corners of the globe. Like a culinary time capsule, the King still serves Coney Island hot dogs, chiliette (egg noodles slathered in red chili and served with Saltines), biscuits and gravy, and a ham dinner complete with a ham steak, canned pineapple rings and a hot vegetable. The King has atmosphere oozing from every cracked-vinyl seat. Plus, the grub is exactly what you'd expect from a place just off the interstate: served hot, fast and in trucker-friendly portions.

The Inside Word on Breakfast King

The ultmate chile relleno in the world. No brag, just fact.

Don't go if you're too concerned with things like 'health code' or 'timely service.' But if you want killer diner food and an interesting late-night atmosphere, BKing is best.
