Hey look at that! I just paid for Sheldon's inflation (see picture of receipt). I won't be back to do it again.Thats a first for me, & I've been around awhile. I know for a fact that I have always paid for MY OWN INFLATION. I would really, really love to know how much "inflation" Sheldon gets annually and if he/she reports it to the IRS, hmmmmmm.As for the food.....too salty. 😝
Place is awesome and the green chili was delicious but the pancake is amazing
So so good cute little diner - perfect breakfast and the pancakes are incredible!!
Small diner feel with really good hot food!! Milk shakes are worth trying!!
Would definitely recommend this quaint little diner. The food was phenomenal! Our server Crystal was fast, friendly and attentive! 5 star service! She made our experience fantastic!
Best open faced turkey sandwich in town. I love this locally owned business. They have been in business for so many years because they are the best!
February 2024 Just like the 5 Stars above, food - service - atmosphere, all 5 Starts. best ever home cooked meals, fast and courteous service, and a delicious meal. The daily specials are a real treat, and a full plate of heaven. Be sure to have the Open Faced Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on the side. 5 Thumbs Up again!!What's not to like about a great comfort food and exceptional staff restaurant. Daily specials willl blow you away, prices are all reasonable, and portion sizes are immense. Bring your appetite and enjoy a great local restaurant where breakfast is served all day on Saturdays. owner operated and is there to greet and help everyday. 5 Thumbs Up!
Old timey diner feel. We had the Reuben and BLT. Amazing sandwiches. Cole slaw and potato salad were excellent. I wanted to try soooo many things out on our first visit. They brought me homemade green chili to try, which was the bomb and then I sampled the gravy. The service we received was phenomenal. We'll be back next weekend and I'm excited to try the breakfast and lots more. Oh, the chocolate pie was divine and you can taste how everything is homemade.
Nice little diner. Food was ok, nothing to really celebrate. Service was good, never let me coffee or water run out. It is a little small inside, so had to wait for a table to open up. Would probably come back again.
The staff is wonderful and the food is terrific. I feel at home when I eat here.
Wow! The as staff knew us by name and it was the second time we’ve been in. That is service at its finest.The food is homemade and amazing.We will be back
This is my very favourite greasy spoon diner in town. It really is old world. Fantastic service. The servers have no idea who you are, but they make you feel like you’re known there for ages. Try their SOS, it really is something else. Denver omelette is tiptop as well.
I have been going to Sheldon's for quite some time. The food is great and you're treated like family there!
Yep, this is the best breakfast you're going to get! All meals in our four person party were tremendous and the service was even better. We enjoyed a very relaxed atmosphere with clean tables and generous portions. We shared one pancake for four people and everyone enjoyed it with their other items. I've never seen a cook flip a pancake with two spatulas. The serving staff makes the experience memorable.
Big Food Critic , Wouldn’t lie Food is Decent But People That Work There Passive Racist so I wouldn’t never eat there again
Vanessa our waitress was cheerful, took hospitality to the next level! The food was cooked too perfection. Definitely will return for more delicious food and top notch quality service!
Incredible diner, cheap food, great & rapid service. The wait staff is friendly & the coffee was always full. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Came here for lunch on a Saturday, needless to say I was floored by the food and great service! It has that small diner feel and everyone is so nice. Will definitely be back!
Our food was ready fast and it was tasty. They do pick up and dine in. We had no issues with pick up or with parking. We'd come here again.
Good food. Chicken fried steak appeared to be frozen production model but was ok. Food was hot and fresh. Hand cut fries were great and service was spot on. Adding to our cycle of eats.
Love the good food and very friendly staff. It's our weekend "go to" place.
Great food, quick service, learned I'm gonna need to order more food. Biscuits and gravy, fantastic.
Nice local diner. The cook did a great job and the servers were friendly. I didn't love the open roast beef sandwich but the burger and fries looked good.
Went for the first time this morning and it was amazing food and service. Highly recommended!
Fantastic food and even better service. A delicious breakfast was what I ate with even the English muffins cooked perfectly.
Happened upon this great little diner. Absolutely the best lunch place in Colo Springs. And our waitress Crystal is a sweetheart.
You can never go wrong with Sheldon’s! Even if there’s a wait the food and staff is worth it! Perfect eggs and ham every single time!
They had pretty good food, service was a little slow, and the atmosphere was great, it told you all about the restaurant and its history along with just being cozy.
Quality, quantity, flavor, all things you can find here, haven't found anything on the menu that is not absolutely delicious!! Love this place, always have, always will!!
Home style cooking at its finest. Had lunch there yesterday and really enjoyed the Green Chilli 🌶 bowl. Service was quick and spot on!!!
Another CoSprings institution, Sheldon's is a lovely home-in-the-wall greasy spoon. Thursdays is their open face turkey sandwich special which is pretty amazing.
Long live the great American diner....Sheldon's is part of that great tradition and has been for many years....just breakfast and lunch with everything you'd expect from a unpretentious eatery....one of Colorado Springs best places to have breakfast or lunch....not for dieters or the gastrophobic !
Old school diner atmosphere. Breakfast is on point. Some of the best chicken fried steak I’ve had. Eggs cooked perfectly. And the home fries are heavenly! Placed was packed and for good reason. Staff was running to keep up with the crowd but still friendly and attentive. Can’t recommend highly enough. Can’t wait to try lunch.
This place screams "classic diner". They have fabulous pancakes.I would encourage them to consider keeping some alternative meat choices on hand that aren't pork based. I don't personally eat it and was unable to find an alternative on the menu. Just a suggestion, though. Everything we ordered was made perfectly!
This is where I go when I want comfort food for breakfast or lunch. Sheldon's has been around as long as I can remember and never fails to satisfy with home fries, chicken fried steak and eggs for breakfast or an open faced sandwich with gravy for lunch. Servers are always friendly and personable. I have never been disappointed here.
Went expecting a hand battered chicken fried steak and it was prefab. I also ordered a side of hash browns and when I took my first bite the potatoes were cold and not cooked thoroughly. Our waitress was good but another saw that I did not eat the food and I explained if I knew the steak was prefab that I would have chosen something else.I told her that the potatoes were not cooked and I did not want something remade as my partner was nearly finished with her meal. She took the food and did not do anything further. Biscuits and gravy were average but edible.
You will not find better food or better staff than Sheldon's. I go every Saturday and have breakfast. Best breakfast I have found in the springs. The burger is also awesome. Had it for lunch today.Give it a whirl and you won't be disappointed.
Nice diner, the place you know is going to be great as soon as you walk in. The place is highly rated for a reason and I agree.
A co-worker introduced this place several years ago so when I'm the area I will definitely stop in and get a bite to eat. Thank you guys for your friendly service.
Found this nice little hole in the wall to catch lunch before heading to seven falls for a nice hike during our family vacation… I got the junior burger with bacon and an over easy egg and it was delicious!! The service and food was just GREAT overall! and Alicia was a FANTASTIC server and made our experience that much better! Thank you Alicia 🙂
Sheldon's on north Nevada is great. The staff is great and the food and coffee is always hot and delicious. To me and my family think that they have the best biscuits and gravy in Colorado Springs and we have tried a lot of other restaurants. Next time I go I will definitely add a picture of what we get.
One of the best burgers I've ever had. Just the simple Jr. burger (normal size burger). I had it with L/T/O, mayo and ketchup, swiss cheese and cooked medium. Absolutely delicious. Very quick and friendly staff to top it off
I was brought to Sheldon's by a great friend who had not dined there before. We were both blown away! Incredible portion size and great selection of comfort food! I had an amazing Reuben! The hamburgers were enormous! My buddy had the chicken fried chicken... Everything was delicious and affordable. I loved our waitress as well. Super friendly staff, iconic establishment... You gotta try it!
Service excellent, food was good (bacon especially) and came out fast. Really disappointed with the sign that said no one wants to work anymore. Sounds like a bitter owner. Maybe if you paid more or offered incentives, benefits or perks you might not have so much trouble. But go ahead and make excuses for when your service is slow. Plenty of other options in the area to go to than a sad owner who doesn’t know how to hustle.
