Davies' Chuck Wagon Diner

Cuisine: Diner

Neighborhood: Lakewood

9495 W. Colfax Ave. Lakewood, CO 80215

Davies Chuck Wagon was built in 1957, maybe one of the best years for diners, definitely one of the last. When it's busy, the building seems to breathe -- taking in drafts of cool air from outside, exhaling customers -- and nothing is ever still as tables turn fast and coffee pots make the rounds. And all day, every day, Davies serves some of the best East-Coast-meets-Wild West diner food around, including incredible chicken-fried steak.
