Breakfast Queen II

Upon moving to Denver at the beginning of this month, the BF and I made it our mission to find the best greasy-spoon breakfast in the area. Being two people born and raised in the Midwest, it's safe to say we know our eggs and bacon. So, we diligently set out to spend every Sunday at a different diner until we found the best breakfast Denver has to offer. We expected it to be weeks or months before we found a meal that met our Midwest standards. However, on only our second try, we found the perfect breakfast only blocks from our house. The search is now over, and there is no point in trying anywhere else. If you are looking for us on Sunday morning, we'll be the sleepy, sweatpant-clad couple huddled over our coffee mugs in a booth at Breakfast Queen II.

When you walk in, wave hello to us, and then head to the back of the restaurant. Weekends are busy, but there is a small area in the back to wait for a table. Once you are seated, your service will be everything you expect out of a diner. Most importantly, your coffee cup will be perpetually full.

I went with a simple order of eggs, bacon and hash browns. My eggs, ordered over easy, were cooked perfectly. The bacon was real, freshly cooked bacon, and the hash browns....ohhhhh the hash browns. Those little devils were to die for. I requested them extra crispy, and they were just that. They clearly come from a potato rather than a bag, and the flavor was amazing. I actually left bacon on my plate in order to have room for all of the hash browns, and I normally think it a mortal sin to let bacon go uneaten. My only regret was my failure to order the corned beef hash. Please learn from my mistake, and get it for yourself. The BF let me have one bite of his, and they were to-die-for.

We left stuffed but happy, and are already planning our return.

The hubby and I were browsing through our Entertainment book and came across the BOGO deal for Breakfast Queen II.  Without knowing anything except we'd get a great deal, we headed down Broadway to give it a shot.
We were in for such a pleasant surprise!!  We didn't have to wait (although based on the signs inside, it looks like there are often lines), the service was top notch and the food was great!  I am especially a fan of gyro meat so I was thrilled that Breakfast Queen II offered it as a meat option.  Potatoes were the kind that I like (cooked on the grill not fried) and everything was just plain yummy.  We will be returning with or without a coupon!

Worth the wait.  The green chili smothered anything is the way to go.  Best green chili we had on our trip.
