Tom's Diner

@ Colfax Ave & Pearl St, Denver
Open 24 hrs
Building is older, a bit non-descript, lots of windows
Inside:
            Retro booths with yellow puffy backs and hard, brown plastic benches, yellow tabletops
            Bar stools encircle the counter  (someday Chris & I need to eat our meal at the counter of a diner)
            Behind which can be seen 2 old-fashioned shake machines, which are now just decoration
            Old brown paneling mixed with areas that are covered with rock, to include the front waiting area with a couple chairs, a couch and a vintage corner table with magazines ~~ really makes me think of the Brady’s sunken living room
            Definitely parts that have been remodeled, but keeping true to that diner feel ~~ think of the famous painting of Elvis, Marilyn and James Dean at a late nite diner
 
 
Our server was super friendly and easily offered up suggestions when Chris asked (coincidentally, he selected the 2 items Chris and I were each privately considering)
 
They have a decent selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options.  Weekday specials; even a super cheap breakfast from 5A-7A that we would make if it wasn’t a 30-minute drive away!!
 
Bathroom was very clean and had been updated!!
 
We look forward to a return visit, most likely for the Trombone Shorty concert just down the street at the Ogden Theatre on December 27th!  It’s a 9PM show that is a first come seating arrangement, don’t know if we will go pre or post-concert.  If it’s post, tho, I suspect I am ordering breakfast!  Gotta try several things on the menu to be sure our first time wasn’t a fluke!  Right??!! 
 
And now I have you thinking of the Suzanne Vega song of the same name!  HA!  Great song!!
