Maid-Rite Diner

Maid-Rite? What a name for a throwback to old school dinners,all that is missing is Fonzi!

Saw this place on one of the Food Network shows(fill in the blank)
It always seems that you never get to try one of these places because they are never located here in Denver but this time I got lucky.

The original Maid Rite is from the midwest and actually it kind of tastes like a midwest product if there is such a thing.

Maid-Rite is not a burger or anything like it, its crumbled/loose ground beef with seasonings, onions and pickles on a warm bun. Its more like what you had as a kid if you had leftover meatloaf and put it on a bun. It's kind of homey! Brings back a childhood memory or two. The french fries were hot, skinny and placed in sliver cup that was hot too and for all you french fry loving Yelpers this is a nice touch.

Maid-Rite has evolved from the original by adding wraps and salads but the original works with the 50's decor and the Motown blasting from the speakers. They also have milk shakes and let me tell you it's a meal.

The service is excellent and the server actually came by each table and asked how everything was and that's one of the reason's I gave it 4 stars.

All in all check it out, it may not be for everyone but if you want a different sandwich you can't go wrong with Maid-Rite

We were in the area and wanted to try something different, it smelled appetizing from the outside BUT, after we ordered and ate our food I regress. I had the original, I asked for pasta salad but they didn't have any, so I opted for the fries. My wife had the chicken wrap and my daughter had the chicken nuggets with a chocolate shake.

This is probably the 1st time I left a restaurant where I was still hungry, my sandwich was dry and I had to keep dunking with my ketchup, my wife's wrapped was drowned with salad dressing and the chicken nuggets were flavorless. The only thing I could say that was good was the chocolate shake. So, if you like shakes this is probably the place you want to go.

I'm giving them the one star for the atmosphere, classy 50's diner. The service wasn't that spectacular as well.

Maid Rite was Made Wrong.

Yes this place is more like a fast food place and I actually didn't have the maid-rite sandwich I had the beer battered cod sandwich which I actually liked a lot. The tartar sauce was just okay and the fries could have been thicker but it tasted fresh and i liked it plus not very expensive. All in all I thought it was good and if I'm in the area I may stop by but I prob won't go out of my way. The employees when I was there were really nice so I have no qualms about the service.
