Stone Creek Cafe

First I have to admit the All American burger was delicious. And the onion rings were tasty.
BUT, my husband ordered the steak and eggs and specified well done for his meat. Our meals came — he cut his meat and that was it. It was medium rare. When you don’t like pink in your steak then red is even worse. He also didn’t get his toast until I reminded the waiter. I pointed out the problem with the steak and there was no attempt to fix it. He just said sorry and kept walking.
So as much as I enjoyed the burger we won’t be back.

I give this three stars only because on most days the service well… Sucks. They are fast but the servers always seemed to be so grouchy. The food is good especially for being a greasy spoon I really like the two egg breakfast as well as the country fried steak and the ham and cheese melt.
The coffee is often not all that great. The cinnamon rolls are fresh and hot so hard to resist. This place is near our home and we don’t have a problem at all going back.
If you are looking for a laid back diner and some tasty food I would give it a try, just be specific on how you want things cooked.

The service is ok and the food is good. We seemed to be a bother to the wait staff and had to flag them down for drinks and our check. Their food was good and I was happy with what I ordered. They worked with food allegies ok.

I’ve eaten here about a dozen times since we moved to the denver area about a year ago and have grown to love it. First off you can’t beat the old school diner vibe. The dining space is pretty nice with lots of booths and big windows, a bunch of cool potted bonsai type plants for decoration and led tv’s mounted to the ceilings all around in case your eating alone. Friendly and consistently attentive wait staff greet me with a smile and are always happy to fulfill my every trivial request. The best thing about it is the food. I have yet to have a dish that is in the least bit disappointing, in fact everything I’ve had has been awesome. The burgers are perfect, made to order with fresh and high quality ingredients, what I really love on the burgers are the house made pickles. In fact, a large part of the menu is house made. They also have a great traditional mexican menu.
Update~Had a piece of butterscotch pie that was not good at all. It was probably pretty old so you may want to ask what’s fresh when ordering a dessert from the display cooler.

I would like to start by saying yes the food is really delicious! I had the ham and cheese melt and I was not disappointed by that. I do however want to point out that I was very thrown off by the service we received today. Because I am a server myself I can tell the difference between good and bad service and we received horrible service today. When we were seated no smiles or anything toward her costumers. Did not come to check on us once after food came out. Did not deliver our bill when we were finished. And to top it all off she was talking about us in Spanish. Didn’t expect us to understand what she was saying but we did and the thing that bugged me the most about what she said was that we were white trash. I may have loved the food but I will not be returning because of the treatment I had received.

There this morning for breakfast .Let me start with my apology for interfering with my waitress this morning who was more interested in standing around with her fellow waitresses. There is one waitress always with a smile, delivers her hash and coffee with a smile.
Come on guys, chat with your customers, try and sound interested, how some of you make a living as a waitress is beyond me.
Most diners go to a place that offers good food and service-​your food is average on a good day and unfriendly wait staff will take me, my friends and money elsewhere.

GREAT burgers and rings!
And I absolutely LOVED my waitress! She was very polite and kind, and when serving drinks, she actually handed me my straw rather than tossing it on the table.
It’s the little things that count. :)

My boyfriend and I came here for a quick bite on a Sunday for lunch. It has a neighborhood diner feel to it, very simple, random décor in a medium sized space with lots of booths and plenty of natural light.
While Brian claimed that the Mexican food here is good, I wasn’t so sure, considering nothing about this place appeared very «Mexican» so I opted for a French dip since I haven’t had one in a few years. He got the reuban. SOOOO many fries! They have very large portions here, everything hovers under $ 10. Servers here were prompt and efficient yet unenthused and not very friendly. I guess I was the same way when I was a teenager so it’s all good.
Decent value, we’ll be back.

Took the family here and couldn’t be more pleased! The service was outstanding and don’t get me started on the food! Make sure to order green Chile because it is out of this world good. Will be eating here regularly now! !!

I guess this is what a «greasy spoon» is. The food was actually too oily for me to eat. I literally ate two bites of my «veggie omelette» and half a piece of toast, both of which were drenched and dripping with butter, oil etc… You know when restaurant staff asks how your food was and aren’t listening to and doesn’t care about the answer? This happened twice before I paid for food I didn’t eat and left. It’s too bad because I would like a nice breakfast place close to my house.

Basic place with bland food. 2 people for breakfast was $ 26.00 not including tip.
If you stick to the basics I’m sure it would be good.
My boyfriend ordered the Burrito; very tasteless.
I ordered the Corn Beef Hash for around $ 9.00. With a side pancake. So I expected it to be homemade. Nope! When I told the waitress I thought it was overpriced for something that looks like it came out of a can. She replied «because it is»! HA. Enough said; right?!?
I use to get a whole can of hash at Walmart for $ 4.00. But I wouldn’t do that either again.

Five stars PLUS!!! Reasonably priced! My friend and I had a prime rib dinner for under $ 11.00. Fresh homemade chicken noodle soup with a thick slab of prime rib and REAL mashed potatoes. Everything is homemade and not out of a can. I saw a couple of «one star» reviews on here. Seriously (?) They must be Yuckies… I mean yuppies from Cherry Creek. No valet parking here — but EXCELLENT homemade food made with love.

Not one to go straight to the this place sucks card and I’m not going to here. But suffice it to say that I won’t be back again.
When I first came in I grabbed a seat and sat there for about 10 minutes before someone finally asked if I had been helped yet. Not the way to start it off. But i figured what the hell, it’s a small diner. It will get better.
No. It did not.
I ordered the special — the steak and eggs — and asked for the steak to be medium well and no hash browns.
I received TONS of hash browns — whatever, I can over look that. Strike 1.
But the steak was grossly under cooked and still rather cool inside. Definitely not cooked the way I wanted it. Strike 2.
Evening the toast was kind of fucked up. Super dry I.e., no butter on it. Strike 3.
When the waitress finally came back by to see how things were I had resolved that I wasn’t going to eat the steak. She looked down and asked if I wanted a to go box. Ummmm, no.
So, no good review from me. And most definitely no return visit. Personally, can’t recommend them.

Great neighborhood friendly atmosphere, staff was great and the food makes you feel warm inside :)

Sunday drop in and the first thing to bug me was the entrance which you can access from either side. My complaint is that people who aren’t familiar stand there not knowing if they should seat themselves or not and by the time they’ve asked and done that the other entrance has came in and sat themselves at all the tables. Now you’re waiting longer then you should.
The plus… the food. It was delicious and I wanted a cinnamon roll but forgot about that after I found something else. Now I have to go back in and take someone else’s seat and get one.
Service just a ok. Don’t get annoyed by people asking if it’s sit yourself if there isn’t a sign. Losing a lot of new people not knowing your stupid policy

I have to admit I was a little bit afraid as we pulled into this place it look like a hole in the wall diner. But the huevos rancheros I had was delicious.

I actually applied for a job here when I was in high school at SHS…22 years ago! Despite that, I had never eaten here before, even though we live less than a mile or two away. The wife and I took the kids here for a later than usual Friday dinner around 6:30−7pm ish or so.
Don’t be put off by the slightly peeling paint on the exterior. It is slightly dated but VERY well cared for. Parking is ample and available on both sides of the building, the only suggestion I would make is perhaps adding a few more disabled spots. There is a very large senior citizen population patronizing the café and I didn’t see too many spots. That aside, parking is certainly ample and easy to find.
The inside is neat, clean and well kept. This is a ‘seat yourself’ establishment and there is no hostess (we hadn’t been aware of this until one of the customers pointed it out to us). We found a booth and within minutes our server, Cynthia was handing out menus and taking our drink orders. I was pretty impressed with the two servers that were on duty (it is a pretty small café) as they seemed to be at ease with the remainder of the dinner rush. There was a third employee in the front of the house, but I believe she was handling the cash register (your server is not your cashier). From our booth, I could see at least two back of the house employees working in the kitchen.
There were several flat screen televisions tuned into CNN (I do love me some Anderson Cooper) and a flat screen monitor at the front of the restaurant that displayed the day’s special, desserts and soup.
The dinner menu is pretty complete, yet not too overwhelming. The children’s menu is on the back of the dinner menu and is your typical kid’s meal fare. Our daughters (whom are getting ready to finish up 2^nd grade and were happy to read the menu alone) both ordered junior cheeseburger and fries. The wife ordered the chicken tenders with french fries and mixed veggies. I ordered the beef chimichanga without the green chili (my gut can be rather picky). Although I did not time our order or anything like that… you know, dining with second graders and a couple of TVs can be rather distracting.
When our food arrived, it was hot and well presented. The girls’ gave thumbs up between mouthfuls of cheeseburger and fries. My wife’s food looked fresh and well prepared. We didn’t order dessert but it was tempting!
We will be back… hopefully for breakfast!

We kept forgetting we’d seen this place till a friend had commented on a yummy breakfast here a couple of weeks ago. Made the way over this morning for a good breakfast. Was not disappointed! It’s a seat yourself location with friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Tried the 4×4 breakfast which had eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes (2 ea). We added hash browns which are really thin sliced potatoes cooked perfectly.
Definitely a restaurant we will add to our rotation. Lunches looked good too. Burgers, sandwiches, wraps, etc.

If you are looking for a nice, cozy, comfy, «Welcome, Come On In» type place, then Stone Creek Café is it!
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have driven by this place over the years. I’ve always told myself, that I would stop in one day, as there are always plenty of cars parked outside. Well, since my Dad has moved close by (since my mother passed away), I figured, we might as well give it a shot. I’m very glad we did!
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, you can’t make a mistake with any of them.
We’ve had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, and all three have been good. I am a sucker for just good bacon and eggs, and Stone Creek Café has some good ones! I always order «crispy bacon,» as I don’t like the kind that still taste like it never touched the pan. Some places, when I order «crispy bacon,» the waitress gives me a dirty look, and/​or the bacon comes out burned. I don’t liked burned bacon, I like it crispy. There is a difference. Stone Creek Café served up «crispy bacon,» and it was given a second thought! Awesome!
Lunch was soup and sandwiches, again, very good, nothing to complain about.
Dinner was fried chicken, and WOW! Their fried chicken is excellent!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!
Parking — a private lot on each side, so you can’t beat that.
Service — very, very good!
Prices — VERY GOOD!
All in all, a GREAT place, VERY GOOD Prices, VERY Good service, comfortable, warm, and friendly. What else could you ask for? Nothing!
See you there!
What else

Clean, friendly, tasty. Generous portions.
I entered the Café expecting a typical, dated diner. But I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is inside. The restaurant is immaculately clean and even looks like it was recently remodeled.
Our server was very good. She made one mistake (forgot to bring a salad), but quickly corrected herself and apologized. Otherwise, the service was flawless and very hospitable.
The food was also good. In our chips and guac appetizer, the chips tasted a little stale, but that was forgivable and not so bad. I ordered the sirloin steak tips, which came with potato, steamed veg, bread, and a salad! Tons of food for such a low price, and I have enough leftovers for two more meals. The food was all very tasty, too. The steak was well-​marinated and cooked exactly how I ordered it, medium rare. The vegetables had just enough butter to be flavorful. Not fancy food, certainly, but homey and comforting.
