This is a great place. If you are looking for  good food at a reasonable price, served by friendly people in a comfortable environment , this is the place! It is nothing fancy, just good home style cooking. The menu is varied with something for all tastes, the chile rellano dinner  is one of my favorites.
Review Source:I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews on Yelp. But this place gets an F from me. Apparently it's been in Commerce Shitty for 50 years or something. I should have known that it would be sub-par when nobody else was sitting inside in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. Our server was an older lady with some pretty bad table side manner. For $40 we got an iceberg salad missing a lot of the leafy parts you can eat. The prime rib I had was OK. It wasn't the best portion side with a lot of lard. The "veggies" it came with were overcooked cucumbers and/or zucchini that I didn't touch. It looked to me like the place needs a major upgrade inside. The staff looked bored out of their minds. I don't eat fast food. But I'm telling you this place made a BK double cheeseburger and fries look pretty damn good.
Review Source:Worst experience EVER! If I could give less then one star I would! Â Paid $24.99 per person for a buffet that consisted of deep fried bacon, enchiladas that tasted and smell like sweaty gym socks, etc. Â Did not get refills for our drinks until they handed our check to us. I expected to pay maybe $30 tops for everything but the bill was over $50 and way too much to charge for such poor service and horrible food.
Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!
First, let me start by saying that our server, Debbie, was excellent. Now for the food...
Came here because my husbands friend suggested the fried chicken & prime rib. I ordered the fried chicken, salad, fries. My husband ordered the prime rib, salad, loaded potato.
His prime rib was very good and cooked to his liking. He was thrilled with his loaded potato and the blue cheese salad dressing.
I thought our salads were weak. Granted they give you a tray of raw veggies to snack on but my salad had barely any lettuce and barely any dressing.
My fried chicken was big portion wise but not big on flavor. 4 pieces of chicken come with it--breast, left, thigh, wing. I ate the wing and gave my husband a thigh. He said he liked it but I thought it was somewhat bland.
Again, the service was excellent.
I like this place. They have great service. The food is good. These guys have a pretty big variety of food. From tex-mex to american to breaded rocky mountain oysters. Yum! They also have a full bar. I'll be coming back. The only thing I didn't like was that they close a little early for my taste.
Review Source:I was hesitant at first because it looked like an old fogie hang out but I was pleasantly surprised. We have been there for breakfast lunch and dinner and the crowd changes for dinner. The bar has reasonably priced drinks. They make a good Tom Collins. My favorite is the prime rib and they make it to your liking. I like mine well done then thrown on the grill and they are very accomidating. My honey had the chicken fried steak and loved it. I have had their breaded pork chops dinner and that was amazing. The staff was really nice and efficiant . The prices have gone up but still worth it. Their cheeseburgers and fries are delicious. The decor is 70's lounge. So don't be scared of the area and enjoy!
Review Source:Have been going here since I was little. The prime rib is the bomb! Almost always get it and with the exception of once or twice, it has always been very good, especially for the price. It is a older place, has had some renovations, personally, I like the atmosphere, the bar and almost always we have had wonderful service. You get a lot of food, relish tray, salad, rolls and your entree. For the price again, I don't think it can be beat. Have been to private parties here as well and again, think it's a real deal.
Review Source:I have been going to this place for over thirty years. It is Commerce City now but was Irondale for the first 20 or so years until .C. C. took it over. Please don't knock my home town Doug Y. If you have never lived there all you ever hear is the B.S. from what other people say about C.C.
Anyway back to the review. You will not find prime rib in Denver metro this good. Tuesday's special for lunch is the P.R. You get soup (jalapeño cheddar or the French onion is the bomb), veggies, potatoes (choice of mashed, fries or baked) and a good portion of the P.R. for I believe $8.60. No where can you get a meal that good on top of being so inexpensive. I have heard people rant and rave about Mickey's Dinner club over on 70th & Broadway. The prime rib is ok, but doesn't hold a candle to Gala's and not even close to the same price.
Yes the staff is a bit aged because they have been there for years. That has to tell you that the employees are treated well. Terry (one of the bar tenders) has been there about 25 or more years. Jolly good fellow Terry is.
Kris K. I would love to know what you are talking about. I have never heard of anyone complain about truckers or the abundance of elders. I have never seen a trucker in there in all my years! Old people? Yes I do admit that most of the crowd is older but at lunch there is a very good mix. In the evening I see several young people in there all the time. You may have been there on an unusual or rare day/days.
Over all other then the food being inexpensive I would have to say that on a scale of 0 to 10 I give it a 9.8. Try the club steak on Thursdays, you will love it. The green chile is actually very good (Tricia H.) for the Gala not being a Mexican restaurant. The reason is because the Werth's (owners) are partial Mexican and have a passion for Mexican food.
The Cruzer
This place was a total surprise. Highly recommended by some people with discriminating taste I was still more than a little skeptical because of it's location near the flea market and in Commerce City. My fears were slightly confirmed when we walked through the door into the aroma of some sort of sanitary product? but walking through that into the warm dark wood surroundings of a 70's cool restaurant wiped that instantly out of my mind, well that and all the happy people eating food and laughing and smiling. You can just kinda tell when a place is going to be alright can't you when it's full of happy people?
Service was old school polite perfection. Two people asking for our drink orders before our waitress made it to the table seconds later. A very courteous bus person kept glasses full including soft drinks and my coffee cup. You know the waitstaff has been here forever. Perfect recommendations for beef and non-beef eaters, quick on the uptake, and knowledgeable about the product from supplier to the last person served. A party of seven, no mistakes, soup, salad, and meal timed just right, empty plates removed quietly and efficiently, every cut of meat, every plate of fish cooked exactly as ordered. I'm sooo a "first cut" fan of this place. Prime rib was excellent, tender moist and flavorful, the steaks looked delicious and I heard ummmmmm coming from the fish eaters mouths and when I looked again, the fish was gone (not that the portions were small, they weren't and afterward they were groaning about being sooo full just like the rest of us.). If I was to describe this place in a word.... I'd say it was "righteous!". Â
oh and a FYI find them on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurants.com&s=92a32e879a8bc9bad14f389149e0a62a99ba27f54b2dca87b4d713cffa7973a9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurants.com</a> before you head over. I'm picking up more gift certificates as soon as I finish this review.
Well, I was really torn on how many stars to give this place. Â If you go to the website, avoid looking at the pics. Â My husband drug me here, heard it was really good. Â The thing is, their green chili is the bomb!! Â Steak looked good, salad was just so so. Â Service was friendly and quick although not very professional. Â Also, upon entering the restaurant, no one greeted us for over 5 minutes. Â There was a bar close by with waitresses hanging out and just staring at us. Â Finally some other lady came up and sat us. Â A little bit unnerving. Â Price is right though and very close to our house, so I'll take what I can get!
