King's Chef Diner
Best Diner in Colorado Springs · CO
Green chile from the purple castle
King's Chef Diner has run out of a tiny purple castle in downtown Colorado Springs since 1956, dishing breakfast and lunch to a line that forms early. The signature is the green chili — served on burritos, smothering eggs, or by the bowl — that regularly wins the city's 'best of' honors.
Cramped, cheerful, and famous for 'The Grump' breakfast, King's Chef is a Colorado Springs landmark whose castle silhouette is as recognizable as the chili it's known for.
