50 Best American Restaurants in Aurora

“We had the best service I have had since moving to Colorado. The food was incredible. The service was top-notch. It is my favorite place for a special date night or for when friends & family come into town.“

“One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at to date. I rented the suite with city view for my wife and I. I am already planning our next stay, cannot get enough of this place. Great location, clean and fun atmosphere. Rooms are absolutely incredible. It is in the arts district so the vibes are awesomely contemporary. One of our favorite features was the door that opens up garage style. It opens up to allow the city ambiance and smells into your room as well as one of the greatest views of downtown Denver you can have for the stay. Thank you THE SOURCE HOTEL“

“Have visited several times before. Last Thursday we tried your lunch for the first time. I had biscuits & gravy with spicy sausage and eggs over, huge and delicious. My wife ordered the veggie burger. Her salad was brought out, then 5 minutes later was advised they were out of it! She re-ordered the pot roast, but the brocolli was over cooked and the carrots were dry. Other than that, was good. There was a problem at check out with the purchase of gift cards, but was shortly resolved. We look forward to visiting again in the New Year, but only for breakfast or dinner.“

“Such a sweet place!! Good service and good food!“

“My friends and I were visiting from Seattle for a wedding and met up at Lady dog for drinks and eats! There were 7 of us. We were seated at large booth in restaurant. Our server was Amy and she was very attentive and couldn’t have been more fun. By the time we finished up we felt like Amy was our friend. She’s a great server. The menu is extensive and food delicious and affordable. I would definitely come back if in area again.“

“Great service. Amazing food“

“Just stopped by for breakfast. We’ve lived in the area for 4 years and I don’t know how we haven’t heard about this place. The service was AMAZING, everyone was so friendly, the food was delicious and I will be coming back!!“

“This was our first time here, my son was visiting from out of state. He saw good reviews online and suggested we give it a try. The food was very tasty. Here is my problem, every single thing we ordered came up higher on the bill than stated on the menu. It was 20 cents here, 50 cents there, and one item 1.00 more. It might not be a big deal to some, but it is to me. That makes me not want to return, I don't trust them.“

“Awesome wings!! Great food overall and will be coming back!“

“First time today. Great burgers and sandwiches. All the staff were super nice snd friendly, manager came and talked to us. Will definitely visit again.“

“Had a great dining experience tonight. We had the Beef Nachos which was quite the serving. I had the Jalapeno Burger, juicy and crunchy at the same time, well seasoned and cooked. My wife had the Club. Both entrees which were excellent. The server Kelsey was amazing and very friendly. Would definitely go again!“

“being just beyond the golf course this place is a classic place to return back to every time - not sure if they still have the cigarette vending machine but that was a classic fix and i recommend noonan's“

“I had an outstanding experience at Applebee’s thanks to Ashley! From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. She gave great recommendations and made us feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find someone who balances speed, efficiency, and a warm personality so well. You can tell she truly cares about her customers and takes pride in her job. Applebee’s is lucky to have her, and I hope she gets the recognition (and raise!) she deserves!“

“I love T-Street! Their food is excellent and their staff is always incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Damien who goes above and beyond to connect with his customers. It's my favorite spot on campus to grab a happy hour drink and bite to eat!“

“Big Culver’s lovers for 10+ years we are so happy to have one closer but not too close. Disappointed that they don’t have a handicapped switch to open the door. I thought all new construction was required. Also friendly staff wished us goodbye and have a nice day but didn’t offer to open the door. Not great wheelchair accessibility The food and small wait were excellent however“

“Great Mother’s Day breakfast!“

“Mommy and daughter’s date night“

“Nadja was such an amazing person she took such good care of us and even though it was very busy she made sure to keep up with us. She was kind, super friendly and gave amazing service. Thank you for being so kind on our Thanksgiving afternoon.

Kid-friendliness: Nadja was an amazing person with an amazing personality.“

“My first time at this restaurant. They had a band on a Friday night. There is a giant dance floor and the senior community filled it up. I had the shrimp louie off the appetizer menu and shared a bottle of Pino Grigio with my friends. Whenever i go back I will always order Shrimp Louie because it was delicious. Prices are the best part.“

“Real friendly staff and patrons. Prices are very good. Cool little bar and restaurant tucked off of Gun Club/30 on a residential golf course.

Kid-friendliness: Would be, but it's more of an adult golf-like scene

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“I've only eaten here twice and only had the burgers, but they're amazing. I will have to try other things eventually. The place was clean both times I've been here. The building is a bit run down but it was plenty clean, especially for a burger joint. Prices are reasonable too especially compared to chain restaurants.“

“The hash browns are fantastic.“

“Ciria was the most personable and welcoming server we've ever seen! She surely shines above and beyond any customer service I've ever experienced I am grateful to have gotten to meet her and she has made Denny's a new favorite of ours for cold nights. Also idk what she does but her hot chocolate is better than any I've ever had.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot, lobby, tables, and bathroom all accessable for a wheelchair.“

The place is a classic sports bar. The tables are a tad sticky from time to time.

“Love the wings super meaty and so many options“

“Wings were on point . Spicy lemon pepper is amazing. Beach fries are to die for. Visiting from Texas and I’ll definitely come back next trip ♥️“

“Highly do not recommend. The waitress was super sweet. Food was terrible. Our whole table said their food was terrible. Immediately after leaving everyone got super nauseous and some had major 💩 . This is all I ate all day, so I know this is to blame. Not a good place to go. Over priced for not a good experience“

“Forest Coffee Shop – A Hidden Gem for Chai Lovers

As a self-proclaimed chai connoisseur, I’m always on the hunt for the perfect cup — and I can confidently say Forest Coffee serves the best chai on the Front Range. Seriously. It's bold, seasoned perfectly, not too sweet, and full of layered spice that lingers in the best way. You can tell they take their time with it — none of that syrupy shortcut nonsense here.

Their matcha is also incredibly smooth and earthy, with just the right touch of creaminess. A rare find to have both an exceptional chai and matcha under one roof.

The vibe? Cozy, welcoming, and effortlessly cool — the kind of place where you could settle in with a book or catch up with a friend for hours. Staff are friendly without being overbearing, and the attention to quality shows in everything they serve.

Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a thoughtfully crafted drink. Forest is my new go-to.“

“Great service friendly waitress. Great wings ! Overall great experience and staff“

“Went for my wife’s Birthday, and they took good care of us as a party of 9, they did great keeping up on our refills and singing their Birthday song and gave her a free slice of pie and a picture frame. She loved it, thank you for the great experience.“

“Love coming to this place having a drink and relaxing!!“

“Great food and service. I look forward to coming back“

“Love this place, food is good, big portions 🤪😋😁❤️“

“Fantastic service, the bar/wait staff are personable and friendly. Our food was outstanding. Great, thick hamburger, wings are nice and crispy, and my wife's chicken strips were really tender and moist. There was a cool band playing a bunch classic rock and they were really good. Such a fun night. Definitely recommend Oasis Grill (and I think band was called 6202)...“

“I just had one of the best experiences at Woodys. (and I'm a Colorado native) I have gone to Woodys as long as I can remember. I think people are so quick to forget we are in a hiring crisis everywhere due to the pandemic. The team at Woodys proved they have been able to rise above that, and still provide an awesome and attentive experience. Kudos!“

“Thank you Brittany. I love coming here. It is the perfect little place. The food is great but up until today, I always have to ask for water...twice...and then for a straw....twice. today Brittany was my waitress and I was given water and a straw and she was friendly and warm and well....I just wanted to commend her as well as this super place that is my go to for my private spot for my quiet breakfast time.“

“Chelsie made a night out with the family something to enjoy? she was very attentive... Very quick and very sweet! The place was quiet as well which was nice at the end of a long week? Thank you Chelsie you were literally the best!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Very sweet to the kiddos?“

“Fun night out with family they had karaoke“

“Food and service great! The “only three stars” is because the canned red blend wine was awful. Tasted like a blend of Welch’s grape juice and church wine. Server and manager were great in their response to how much I disliked it though“

“Fun experience. Beer was good but I wish they kept the glasses cold! Otherwise…amazeballz!!“
