DOUG'S DAY DINER MAINSTREET,

18595 Mainstreet, Parker, CO 80134, United States

"Great late breakfast with the wife at Doug's Day Diner on Mainstreet. Stopped in late on a Saturday morning (it was pushing noon). A small wait for two, not bad, maybe 10 minutes. Great food and good-sized portions! A little loud in here due to the layout, clearly a great and popular spot! Recommend the Cowboy Papas!!! Warning - parking is a bear in this place, lots of "tow" warnings. Best to park at the theater and hoof it over."

"Seems like this place is always very busy so be prepared for a short wait. Totally worth it though. Large serving sizes and staff are super friendly. Ate the Haeder Time Burger and wasn't disappointed. Lots of people were eating breakfast during the lunch hour too"

"Disappointed. Put on waitlist for 30- 40 min wait. The wait turned into over an hour while they figured out how to bus tables. Too busy for only one host/bus boy. We were a party of 7, granted there would be a wait on a holiday. Yet when people linger after eating, it is just rude when others are waiting. A party of 9 was suddenly ahead of us we were told, but don't believe they actually existed as they never were seated. So we still waited a little less patiently. One waitress argued with host/bus boy about him wanting to give us the table. When we were finally seated at another table they put together towards the back, it was now 1 hour 15 min later. We were not offered a kids menu, yet did receive a kids sized drink in a kid cup. Better places seat faster, and wait staff remember who ordered what and didn't pass it down the table to the correct person. Food was a good sized portion, and wasn't bad, but service for brunch was really too slow. This was even after the place calmed down from customers. Maybe wait staff could help the poor host who was also bussing the tables and who was trying his best, as the wait staff were standing around the bar talking. When we left there were still so many tables, inside and out, with dirty dishes. Outside area is ok, but not much room as it is out on the curb with car and foot traffic. Not much parking unless you park where you shouldn't. 2 1/2 hours later ... Overall pretty sure we won't eat here again. Being gracious with the star ratings for the overworked host/bus boy."

"Some of the best diner food I have ever had since moving away from New Jersey. The staff was wonderfully nice and very accommodating. When we ordered our food it came out in under 10 minutes and tasted heavenly. I don’t go up to Colorado often but next time I do I will certainly be going back."

"Good breakfast options. A small omelette was perfect for me and came with side options that are attractive. Large portions are available for the hungry. Pricing is ok. Service was quick and efficient even though they were busy on this Saturday morning. Large parties would have to wait, it's set up for parties of 2-4 mainly. Good fresh oj. Bacon was on the crispy side for me."
