We ordered a burger paid around 10dollars. Unbelievable service. Horrible management. He hung up on me when I called to ask why my burger was cooked to death, and had pickles on it .I told them rare, no pickles. Instead of apologizing and offering to fix it right, the manager hung up and lost future customers. we just moved down the street from there. We like to order out often. .never from there.

My family eats here at least once a month. Excellent food, friendly service, and speedy delivery. Always a hit! We love this place!
The roundhouse is a mountain of food smothered in either white gravy or green chili. Very filling! Their French toast is awesome! Biscuits and gravy is great! Really just overall great food!

Exactly what we were looking for on our visit to Dicks Sporting Goods stadium for the Tottenham open training session. Great food, home town hospitality, good prices, and an authentic Colorado feel. Thank you.

While it has quick friendly service — I had expected more of a «home cooked» meal. Everything taste prepared and /​or out of a package. Probably not going to ever return for food but they did have a yard sale room with a few cute items…

At first we were a little nervous, the area looks a little dicey but as soon as we walked in and were seated my worries vanished. The staff is very friendly and cheerful and the food was delish with hardly any waiting!!! The price was just right too for the proportions, which were large and very fillling! I especially loved looking at the antiques when, we finished our meal. I will definitely be back and I definitely recommend if you want something a little different and off the beaten path!

I have eaten at the other Butcher Block Café’s and have found them to be one of my favorite «diner» breakfast. My wife got the breakfast burrito and absolutely loved it. I got a hamburger and eggs and the hamburger was great as well. It is a very divey atmosphere, but good service.

Not a five star atmosphere but if you are hungry for great REAL down home cooking at a Very reasonable price… this is the place. Great service, great food, helpful hours, and you leave satisfied while your wallet remains in tact. My daughter and I LOVE grabbing a bite here when we are in the area.

Perfect American breakfast diner. Good hot coffee, friendly service, and great hash browns, biscuits and gravy. I’ll be back!

A 1960s truck stop diner — AKA greasy spoon.
If that’s what you want then an easy 5 stars. The food is decent but sloppy. I did enjoy the dirt and chain fence parking lot, 20 year old grease stains, warn out formica counter tops, and the broken appliances/​building. No pun intended — a true test of time. It would seem the regulars have been coming here for years and that’s nice. Not for me but def has appeal.

Awesome greasy spoon. Get the Round House for breakfast — eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, hash browns, and either country gravy or green chili plus toast. It is a big meal and very cheap. The food has tons of flavor and it always hoy and fresh, and yes their food is fresh too. The green chili is really flavorful but it honestly has no hot spicyness to it at all. For lunch get their big Block Buster burger. Just a good solid burger. Their regular beef chili is great as well and can be put on an open face hamburger, I recomend that as well. Their chicken tenders clearly come from a frozen bag and they fry them up there, but I don’t care they are some of the best frozen tenders around. They have great fries and their service is always friendly. A great place for quick delicious food that is served hot and fresh for cheap. They have two other locations that I have not been to, most of their customers are regulars and they know them by name and by food order.

My husband and I were in the area for vacation and wanted something local and not chain style. This place was amazing. A small mom & pop type diner with delicious food. The menu wasn’t huge, but they did everything very well from omelets to burgers and more. The staff was very friendly, the prices were incredibly reasonable, and the kitchen was quick. We were so impressed that we went back 2 days in a row! My only complaint was that the eggs and burgers came out «done» regardless of how you asked them to be cooked. But that is such a minor thing in my opinion that I still feel that they deserve a 5-​star rating.

Good ol’ Butcher Block.
I’ve eaten at all three locations, but this one is closest to where I used to live in Thornton and the one most frequented. Been eating here since the mid-90’s.
Not much to add that other people haven’t already said, just good, solid food, crisp service, and very reasonable prices.
Although I do have to take exception to the review that characterized the green chile as «orange gravy». While it’s not blow yer sox off good, it’s tasty, just spicy enough, and goes great over the «Super A» omelet, which I always order here. Love the hashbrowns, not prefab, the grilled homefry style, the best.
And, hey, this ain’t Starbuck’s. You want good coffee, make it at home. The Block’s coffee’s main function is to burn off residual alcohol and wake up yer tastebuds.
You need a good plate of decent chow, cheap, served up in a hurry, this is the place.

Awesome old school diner. Can you dig it?
You walk into a diner reminiscent of someplace your grandparents may have taken you years ago. The staff, though, is young and super fun. I had the Roundhouse (no cheese) with green chili. Solid diner fare. My husband had a Denver omelet with cheese and green chili.
Great food, great vibe. Total hidden gem in my new Commerce City neighborhood!

Ok, the good… service, cost. They were very busy & I still never went empty on water or coffee. All prices were cheap /​better than reasonable.
The bad… The food, coffee, oj. OJ tasted like cheap generic from concentrate. Coffee I guess was avg for avg diner food. At least it wasn’t watered down, but it was definitely cheap & charcoal tasting.
I got the smothered breakfast burrito w sausage. The «green chili» was just orange gravy w less flavor. I seriously felt like I was drinking liquid flour. Definitely shouldn’t be nearly 5 stars, but you know how the neighborhood diners are, I’m sure most the reviewers are regulars/​friends of the owners. or maybe they’re just not getting the burritos!

Don’t get the salad — I ordered a side salad to try to make myself feel better about my main dish selection (the Block Buster greasy spoon burger) and it was a tiny bowl of half brown lettuce with a few strips of dried up carrot topped with straight-​from-​the-​bottle Hidden Valley Ranch. But as my husband stated so simply, «It’s not called the Butcher’s Garden», true that!
Aside from the salad, everything was very tasty, served hot, filling, and very affordable. As mentioned, I had the Block Buster, a 1⁄3 pound greasy spoon hamburger served with crisp lettuce, freshly sliced tomatoes, pickles and onions. My husband enjoyed the Block Buster with cheese. We both got a side order of fries and while they weren’t the best we’ve ever had, they were crispy and flavory. Total tab was $ 16.19 with 1 soda and a water which (in my opinion) is a bargain these days. Visit on a day when you want a good, «home-​cooked», greasy burger and you’ll be pleased.

WHO LIKES STEAK STEAK WE LIKE STEAK STEAK. This place is awesome in my book. Reasonable prices. A Nice sized steak that was cooked to perfection. Hashbrowns and eggs and toast. First time in there for me but you would never know it by how friendly the staff is. Next i will try the French toast. MMMM

Great breakfast place! Reasonable prices and good food. My favorite is the Full Roundhouse (see photo): The plate starts with a base of buttery hash browns, next comes the ham, sausage, AND bacon layer… pig x 3 = awesome. Then, we find the cheese layer. Next, your choice of egg preparation is topped on all of that and finally we get to the ‘smothered in green chile’ layer. What’s not to like about a dish like this? Oh yeah — NOTHING!
This is a little, diner-​ish, greasy spoon place. The staff is friendly, but busy, so don’t expect any hand holding. Definitely expect good food though.

Not a lot of coin in my pocket, out here in communist city. What to eat? Oh yeah. The Butcher Block. Nearly lunch but I made it just under the wire (they stop doing breakfast at 11:00am). Chicken Fried Steak please, over easy, wheat, coffee, and water. Hmm, what’s on this plate coming my way? no gravy? oh, genius! they put the gravy on the bottom! You can see that instead of a crudded up with batter patty of mystery meat hidden under that ol’ artery clogging white shit, they laid down a chunk of beef dusted with flour and nicely browned, on top of just the right amount of gravy! I love this place! You wanna eat like you sweat a little to earn your dollar? Step up son!
(I’d ‘ave slipped ‘em a five star but they don’t fry up fresh jalapeeners at this location. That’s okay Tapatio works too!)
