Penny's Diner: Your 24-Hour Destination for Classic American Diner Fare

We stopped in late at night, and the gentlemen there who served us, was very kind. He was the only staff member there, as it was nearly 1am, but he did a great job making our food, it tasted great! The restaurant is just the coolest 50's themed diner.

Stopped here on a whim during our cross country road trip. We started on the East coast and we were headed to the west coast. I think this was one of our first real places to eat (gas stations, fast food, and granola bars don't count). The service here was super friendly. The waitstaff chatted with us and even warned us of some nasty weather that was heading our way. The food was tasty and we really needed it. It was a nice homey feeling. I hope every diner that we come across will be like Penny's !

We stopped in starving and with low expectations. We've eaten here before because it's the only place open after 10 pm during a Sunday or week day. When we walked in we were greeted happily by the cook , Marion. We took our seats and within a few minutes he came by offered us menus and took our drink order. I was thinking my gosh he's cooking and hostessing There we're probably 5 tables he was helping I asked him is he running the whole operation and he smiled and said yes ! We ordered two breakfasts and I had the burger. Omg. I figured we will be waiting for awhile as he was cooking for many tables. He got to work making pancakes waffles bacon eggs. I love how you can sit near /against the low partition between the kitchen and dinning / watch the whole meal prepared. Well he came back pretty quickly, 10 -12 minutes after ordering with our plates of steaming hot food. Marion is passionate about his cooking and bringing a great dinning experience to his customers. I was asking about the green chili and Marion offered us samples. Holy moly was it good!! Next time we are Cheyenne we are going to order a few different plates including the chili. It was so good. I do wish the owners would update the interior with newer fixtures Booths are worn / and hire a bus person to take care of clearing off tables. We were there close to midnight so only 4 tables were occupied but dishes had to be left for Marion to clear so I can only imagine what it would be like during the dinner hour. Still, Marion is a talented cook, and efficient with an amazing attitude and personality making his customers feel like they are royalty. Oh the burger I ordered was delish!! The meat was cooked perfectly and the bun was like biting into a freshly baked speciality melt in your mouth bread. It was fantastic ! I am so happy we stopped by. Planning on making it a regular go to place while in Cheyenne.

Great authentic diner food. *Adding to my original review* I went here with my husband and sons one late night we were visiting Cheyenne and just pulled into town. They all raved over the burgers, fries and onion rings. Google says they are open 24 hours, and many restaurants in Cheyenne close early, so if you are looking for great food late at night, this is definitely an option!

I stumbled upon an original 50s style diner. Locally owned, not some big conglomerate. Open 24 hours even. I'm of the older generation and this diner brought back wonderful memories. The food was exactly as these old diners would be prepared and served as if it was half a century ago. Had an enjoyable conversation with the cook as my meal was prepared. Sampled the cook's own variation of green chili. It was fantastic. A thank you to the staff for a great experience. I will definitely stop again for the food and atmosphere.
