In Short
This joint attracts the hungry and the tired, the club hoppers who straggle in for breakfast and coffee before bed. Of course, the daylight hours are busy as well, especially weekend mornings. All the diner basics are here: steak and eggs, French toast, ham and cheese, a burger. The twist is in the gyro with eggs as breakfast or on a plate for lunch. There are also shakes, malts and freshly baked pies.

I enjoy old-fashioned diners on occasion- you know what you're getting- greasy, filling and basically cheap food. At a Greek diner, you also get gyros and Greek salads, which is a nice bonus. But don't kid yourself- the management and staff are just hardworking, tough people who put up with a lot from the drunks and pseudo-hipsters who crawl in at all hours. Yes, I have also seen the cook handle all types of food without washing his hands or sanitizing anything. That's why you shouldn't eat there too often. But Denver doesn't offer a lot of late-night dining options, so I guess we're stuck with this. Pete's got a good thing going and I doubt he's going to change his ways. He's not a nice person and he's very cheap, so...good luck getting him to care about hygiene!

Having been a resident of the area for the past two years I have frequented Pete's kitchen numerous times. No time has been memorable. Just greasy, filling food after a night out. However, and terribly, after going there on a whim tonight I will never be back. I sat at the bar and witnessed the cook make my "steak" sandwich. Of course you cannot cook to order here. I asked for medium well, but the end product was crisp as molten lava. This is a side note though. There is an utter lack of hygiene. There was a Greek salad and two club sandwiches made after the cook handled my steak and after he put a burger patty together for another person. No handwashing in between. Raw meat to veggies. Raw meat to bread. I will never be back and was thoroughly revolted from seeing this. Don't give them business. Seriously. The guy grabbed a steak then made a salad. He then grabbed raw hamburger meat and made two club sandwiches. Makes me sick to think about it.

my friends went to petes kitchen for the first time last night & were horrified at the rude and slow service, at the greasy grill where i could actually watch the cook sweating into the cooking area of the grill, then wipe of his sweat w/ his hand & sling it off. oh how DISGUSTING. we couldn't wait to get out of there - even the smell of the restaurant was gross. i hope the health inspector reads this, or i may even contact him myself. even thought i saw rodent feces on the floor. DO NOT TO PETE's KITCHEN unless u can put up with what i've written.
