A favorite of many Lakewood residents, Davie's Chuck Wagon Diner first opened in 1957 by Lyman Davies. He ordered a prefabricated steel sided unit from New Jersey. It was transported by rail from New Jersey to Denver and it the total cost of the business including transportation was almost $150,000.
Today, it is still open for Lakewood residents to enjoy "Chuckwagon Steak and Eggs" or the "Buckaroo Breakfast Special". It is a fun stop for those travelers driving down Colfax Ave. on their way to the Rocky Mountains.
