Denver’s diner scene has dwindled in recent years, but this eatery, which claims to make "the fastest egg in the West,” has been serving up old-school charm and high-quality comfort food for over a decade. Founded by Manuel and Trish Gatsiopoulos in 2011, Hits the Spot is more than just a speedy fix, thanks to specialties like cinnamon roll French toast, Polish sausage sandwiches and a six-pound breakfast burrito smothered in the diner’s excellent (and gluten-free) green chile.
