According to the list, Walnut Cafe is the best place to grab cheap eats in Colorado! Here's why this beloved spot was selected:

"Boulder has plenty of funky eating spots, and Walnut Cafe (now with two locations) is no exception. Sit up at the bar on a classic diner stool and feast on everything from egg plates at breakfast time to belly-busting sandwiches at lunch. The specials keep things interesting; check the menu for delights such as veg-packed scrambles, and black-eyed pea soup with sweet cornbread."
