Gunther Toody's Diner wins top score in Restaurant Roundup!

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) - This week on Restaurant Roundup, a repeat offender is once again drawing scrutiny from the health department. Meanwhile, a diner on the northeast side of town is serving up a blast from the past — along with plenty of flavor.

This week, we're shaking things up and stepping back several decades to visit Gunther Toody's Diner, where checkerboard floors, jukeboxes, and retro décor transport customers to another era.

One employee even goes by the name "Shaggy."

"We just keep it clean by staying on top of everything," Shaggy told KRDO13. "We like to serve great-quality food. We've got some of the best cooks in town."

The restaurant's strong inspection score reflects that commitment to cleanliness and customer service.

Keep an eye out for the KRDO13 Restaurant Roundup awards at your favorite restaurant to know the kitchen inside is clean.

Reminder: all of our high and low-scoring restaurants are based on routine health inspections conducted by the El Paso County Health Department.
