    Great neighborhood joint. The food is plentiful and a long line of loyal customers is always here. I enjoyed the huevos and hubby loved the biscuits and gravy!

    I had order a side salad with tomato and fries( extra crispy) I got a cup of salad (amount) with 16oz of salad dressing. It was so much dressing and hardly NO salad! The fries were fried but mushy! I will NEVER EVER order from there again and they are EXPENSIVE!

    First impressions are everything. Walked into this establishment and the first thing that got my attention was the horrible odor. I was about to walk back out the door, but my friend insisted on staying. I ordered the huevos rancheros without the flour tortillas. Our waitress returned with out order and of course the tortillas where on the plate. I have ciliac, which in turn I had to send the plate back and have them re-make it. By the time the food came out for a second time my friend had already finished her plate. I left without eating a single bite of my food. I will not be returning to this place.

    I spend a good deal of time in the Arts District on Santa Fe ... which has a variety of restaurants, including such selections as sushi, restaurants with different ethnic traditions and so forth. Being a fan of diners, I was glad to find Swifts in the heart of the Arts District. Good, old-fashioned comfort food, large servings and excellent prices. Have had the chance to eat at Swift's for breakfast and lunch -- and always have been very happy!

    A little neighborhood diner. Food is inexpensive, and standard diner fare. Coffee is below average. It says to seat yourself, we did, and all the big booths were dirty. No one even acknowledged our presence for like 5 minutes. They actually bussed and cleaned a table that was unoccupied before wiping ours. Server seemed indifferent, I am sure being a lifer diner worker sucks, but that is not our fault. I had a standard breakfast, they only give you one slice of toast- weird. My scrambled eggs were not fully scrambled. Everything was highly edible. Between the average service and the average food, I won't be in a hurry to go back. Maybe two stars, I am being kind.

    I always get the steak and eggs with a side of green chilli & their fluffy french toast! It's the best. We always get the same server 'April' she's the best super friendly and you can see everyone that goes there knows and loves her!

    Cheap, fast, and tasty eatery in the arts district. For the price, Swift's served a great breakfast. The waitstaff was friendly and came around to refill my coffeecup several times. The clientele at 8:30a in the morning was mostly blue collar heading off to work soon after they finish their meal.

    For Good Food @ Great Prices - you can't beat Swifts! Interior - long and narrow, with lots of seating. It's deceiving from the outside, but they can hold the people! It can be a bit chilly, so bring a sweater. Menu - you name it, they have it! It's all good too! Warning - the food comes quick! You can tell when you walk in, that there are "regulars," and we are becoming one of them. Service - excellent! Even when they are packed wall to wall, the service is excellent. Prices - very good, you really can't beat them, no kidding. Parking - street, and it's usually not hard to park. Give them a try.

    I didn't really enjoy it--not for the price. I happened in here after deciding I would splurge and eat out. Not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. My grilled cheese meal was a bit overpriced. The grilled cheese was not bad, but the fries were not good. I ordered apple juice to go with it and apple juice is not expensive at the grocery store, but they charged a lot for a really small toddler sized cup of juice. For paying what I did for my meal, I could have had a nice Chinese meal or gone to Arby's or Denny's. I really should have just walked out when I walked in. Service from my waitress was just so so. Not that friendly, though I did see others get friendly treatment from other waitresses. Guy running the register was the same and his hands looked like he was working in an oil change shop. Wash your hands dude, especially if cooking and doing the register.

    My friend swears by this location as one of the better ones. I got a breakfast burrito and HOLY MOLY it was GINORMOUS. Needless to say I only ate half of it. It was a reasonable price, and get this, it was actually good!! My friend devoured her steak and eggs and when I asked her about the steak she said that it was actually a good cut of meat. It's pretty no-nonsense. You order, you get your food, then you proceed to the cashier near the entrance to pay. Pretty straight-forward. Swift fulfills it's abilities as a hole in the wall with cheap eats that satisfy that after-morning hangover monster.

    If you like to be treated horribly by the owner and the cook (definitely not a chef) this is a place for you. I have been going here on a regular basis for a little over a year since I moved my office down to the Santa Fe Art District.The food is typical diner food nothing special and the place is definitely not the cleanest place but the waitresses are some of the friendliest and nicest servers in Denver. They just have the right character for a diner setting. They really make the experience a lot better. Enough for me to overlook the large disgusting person sitting, in the same booth everyday, picking his nose and making disgusting noises as food is being brought out. By the way, this is the owner of the place. Don't go into the restroom before you eat, you will probably lose your appetite, I did. So my warning to all is this, if you send back your order for any reason, too cold when brought out to you, not cooked correctly or burnt, you will get the honor of being berated by the "cook" openly in front of the other patrons in the restaurant. This guy has such an inflated image of himself and his food that he can not believe that something is being sent back. By the way, this cook, he is the son of the owner. Yes, the same guy sitting in the same booth everyday picking his nose in public and making disgusting noises. I have never heard this man speak a word until this day, when his son, the cook, decides to attack me and my guest after we paid our bill at the front counter. The owner decides to yell across the room "just pay your bill and get out, those were the only words I understood from him, the rest was just garbled foaming at the mouth nonsense. I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years. I come from a family of chefs and restaurant owners. Being an owner and operator of restaurants, I can honestly say this, If you do not have thick enough skin to take it when food is being sent back then get out of the kitchen. If you are an owner or cook and feel you can accost your patrons in front of other customers then you can plan on shutting your doors for good soon. So if you like to be publicly admonished for sending food back to the kitchen then this is the place for you. For heaven sakes! This is the Art District. A place where it should be filled with creative, fun and nice people, not rude and mean people. I recommend The Breakfast King for your Diner fix. Better food and nice owners. Clean too!

    If you are lucky enough to find this little spot...consider yourself blessed. Great food won over by even better pricing!

    You get what's advertised here, and although the menu is less than inspiring, it does not disappoint from that of my traditional greasy spoon days of NYC. Go ahead and try the steak and eggs- it's a real crowd pleaser to all who are having east coast diner withdrawls! Cheers!

    2.5 stars. I really wanted to like this place, but I have definitely had better breakfasts. The red chili does have potential, and I might show again just to try some coney chili dogs, but I don't think that I will be back again for breakfast. I had a hamburger steak smothered in the red chili with an egg on the top.

    GUARANTEED HANGOVER CURE!!! Swifts has been successfully curing hangovers, empty stomachs, and dive diner obsessions for over 50 yrs (maybe). There's no question that Swift's food is far superior to other Denver diners- especially the Denver Diner- and that "The World's Best Omelet" is exactly that. A typical Swifts visit usually comes after a long night and a short morning, wearing or not wearing a costume and red eyed. I probly slept in my clothes, I didn't take out my contacts, and my mouth is DRY, way DRY. diagnosis- HUNGOVER............. the cure- SWIFTS Order this: The Worlds Best Omelet w/hash browns....(aka- Ultimate Omelet) with a side of green chili Wheat Toast and... A Double-Bacon-Cheeseburger w/fries a Coke and a coffee Nap time!!!

    I went to swifts on the recommendation of a friend. I wasn't exactly blown away unfortunately. If you are looking for greasy diner dash type of food, well this is your place. For me I was expecting a little more. The place is a bit dive-y which makes it about right for the diner feel. It was pretty packed for a monday morning and I took that as a good sign. The menu is fairly varied and there was quite a bit on it. I was told to try the gyro and eggs and so I gave it a shot. It was.... below average. The gyro was fairly bland, its hard to mess up eggs and they didn't, and the hash browns were just above par. I also tried their biscuits and gravy on the advice of the waitress. I spent quite a few years in the South and so I expect good gravy on my biscuits. This gravy tasted like it was made from a powder. Not good at all. The food was down right grease and blander then most I've had. Service was fair enough but not all that good. All and all a dive-y diner type of quick eat that's cheap with a pretty good amount of variety. If that's your thing then I would definitely recommend Swift's. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong things but what I came away with was a decision not to return.

    At ten in the already-sun-scorched Saturday morning, Robert and K. reluctantly stumbled the four blocks to Swift's breakfast House. HE held open the door for for her and then followed her to a table in the rear. They sat across from each other in the red Naugahyde booths and immediately started looking around the narrow diner: the half-wood-paneled/half-geese-in-bonnets-and blue-aprons-wallpaper, the menus-- both in book form on the table, and posted on the walls around them--on individual signs, then looked at the menus on the table. "Sure got a lot of meat, huh?" "You wanted diner" She raised her glass filled with twelve iced ounces of water. "Here's to you," K. said, her eyes taunting his, as if saying--in that that way girls say things without saying anything-- 'It's your decision, you live with it.' Robert raised his glass in return. "Cheers." He set his glass down and returned his gaze from K.'s brown eyes, to the menu. A Latino waitress approached in perfectly normal jeans and t-shirt covered by an apron; approached them with a perfectly normal face, framed by perfectly normal straight brown hair that fell to the freely to the shoulders of her perfectly normal Middle American body type, and perfectly normal everything else. "How are ya'll doin'? Ready to order?" she asks, her voice perfectly normal sounding. Robert looked up with some hangover-infused, bewildered eyes and asks for a few more minutes. K. makes some sarcastic recommendations to Robert--awful pairings of food and daring him to cover whatever he orders in the Coney Island Red Chili. He tells her it's too early for sarcasm-- that, first, he has to relearn all the basic functions of language. He looks over the assorted, but typical, breakfast menu and feels relief that he really only need to notice the prices, and fit within the remnants of the previous nights bar rations. "Says this place has been here since the '60's," K. notices aloud. "Did you glean that from he decor or the $2 hamburgers? " Determined to take their order, the Waitress returned in two minutes. K. went safe with a BLT and Robert stood by the gyros and eggs. The food was delivered with no frills, no parsley, no orange, and no smile--but, like any working-class institution, function is first. The couple ate their respective meals sharing here and there. Robert waited for her BLT to get to the center of her sandwich, till he noticed the heaped bacon, and sampled hers. A couple of times K. reached over and stole lamb shavings stealthily, but had to return, guilty, for tzatziki sauce to dip it into. The meal took a while to eat. Both kids' stomachs were tender after a hot summer night filled with talking and dancing and drinking and drinking another then, maybe, one other another. Also, the food wasn't exactly "light"; rather, K.'s french fries, slicked in oil, slid around easily (and off) the plate. Robert's gyro meat, no telling how long it had been rotating on the spit, left a tan residue. The bill totaled twelve dollars. They left cash and left.
