Hankering for a hearty meal to help you start your morning? For classic diner fare, give The Golden Diner a go! Dig into fresh donut holes, each batch made to order; sweet, fruit-topped French toast with a side of sizzling, savory bacon; or their house special, the Colorado Loco Moco.

Big into biscuits? The towering biscuit sandwiches at Atomic Cowboy are a surefire breakfast favorite. Biscuits, gravy, butter, jam—it’s all made from scratch, right there on site. Or, ride into Dirty Dogs Roadhouse, where the bar scene and breakfast combine. Their greasy-good dishes, like steak ‘n’ sausage and smothered burritos, are the definition of comfort food!
