Pete's Kitchen has held down its corner of East Colfax in Cheesman Park as one of the Pete's Restaurants group, alongside Satire Lounge, University Park Cafe, and Central One. The diner carries the name of Pete Contos, marked on the group's site with the dates April 20, 1934 to May 12, 2019.
The menu sticks to diner fundamentals with a few dishes that have become its calling cards: gyro meat worked into breakfast plates, hash browns piled high, and a French dip that keeps showing up in what regulars order. It has built a reputation as a neighborhood fixture along Colfax, the kind of place locals point to as a longtime local gem.
