50 Best American Restaurants in Aurora

“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.“

“Great service. Amazing food“

“Rosie’s never disappoints! My boyfriend and I have been going here for years now, and it’s always fresh and delicious! 😋“

“Lazy Dog is our go to spot in SE Aurora!!! It's consistently good, the staff are fantastic and it just feels like home to our family! Alyssa and Brittany are the best! Love the entire team!! Wish I could them all a shout out by name!!“

“We stopped in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised with the prompt and kind service. Monique was attentive and quick to accommodate dietary needs and preferences-even bringing a new side dish simply because the first one wasn’t a favorite. We will definitely be back!“

“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!!“

“I've been eating at this restaurant for many years and, believe it or not, I've never had a bad meal...ever. It is packed 7 days a week and there's a reason why. Beyond the great variety of food with breakfast all day (139 menu items {not including 29 drink}). the help is absolutely incredible. You can tell they love the manager, Carlos, because they function as one big family. I'm 72 and have eaten, through my career, in countless restaurants in numberous cities and for the money (quite reasonable) this is my #1 favorite of them all (including many 5 star, exclusive restaurants. You won't find Beef Wellington, Duck à l’Orange,, Lobster Thermidor, Seafood Paella, Foie Gras., or Caviar on their menu, however; Escargot if you love real scratch Mexican/American cooking“

“I didn’t even realize for a while there is a Cheddar’s in that shopping area since you have to venture in to find it. Food was decent and service was good. I was pleased to see there are some middle of the road options for if you don’t want a salad but don’t want something deep fried.“

“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.“

“went with a friend. never again! was told it would be a 30min wait it looked not very busy. waited 45min to be seated. (The host seemed like she did not like her job at all) i ordered the avocado toast w/ side of bacon. the arugula piled high ruined the taste of meal, the tomatoes sliced where not ripe too hard to chew, the bacon was hard like it had been sitting around for a while. and the bread was thick and dry with barely any avocado. my friends meal all American breakfast cold potatoes and not good food she barely ate any of it. no apologies just an over worked waitress. ive been to syrup (different place) before way better food and service worth the extra drive!!!!“

“This was a wonderful final dinner before flying out of Denver. Highly recommend the half chicken entree and the steak frites (pro tip exchange the fries for the red smashed potatoes:) Isaiah was a fun and helpful waiter to make it a memorable meal for our family.“

“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“

“Nadija was so nice to us - we sat outside where there wasn’t any service and she agreed to wait on us - she had the friendliest attitude & provided the very best service I’ve had in a long time! Thank you so much, we’ll be back! Abilene, TX“

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

“I love, love, love this place! Especially the cafe that’s in the building. It’s my daily treat to grab a coffee, snack or dessert. The best part is the staff. They are so friendly and accommodating. I’ve eaten at the restaurant a few times and have gotten the poke bowl and the chancellor both 5/5. The fries are amazing.“

“Mommy and daughter’s date night“

“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“

“From everyday meals to wine dinner 5 course dining! All is great! Just call around fun place in entertainment nights!“

“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.“

“Food and service were ok. They happen to be out of a lot of stuff like cucumbers because of recalls , and their options for substitutes were limited. Did try a Coronarita. (Pretty Good. Average Applebee's if youare looking to eat at one.“

“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.“

“Great Mother’s Day breakfast!“

“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 usually go to the Ted’s at the Landmark Denver. For some reason the Ted’s at Southlands is 10 times better. They should all be the same but hands down this is a 5 star for sure on all food, service, atmosphere.“

“Great place for some breakfast after a long, frustrating round of golf.The staff is friendly and the cook makes everything with love.The portions are just enough and the price isn't too bad for what you receive in quality.Not necessarily a diverse menu but it's not needed for this establishment - just order something and enjoy!“

“We had a wonderful meal with a lovely, attentive server. Thanks Genie!“

“We only went to this location because it was close to our new home and we wanted to eat dinner out instead of in the senior living community dining room. I was craving steak! They don't feed you steak where we live. LOL I know, I know, it's not a steakhouse but they did a pretty fair job of it. The steak was cooked as ordered and the service was good so we have no complaints.“

“Had a great experience at this location ! From Josef greeting my family and I at the door and making us feel very welcome to our server Carolina! Appreciated her great service and recommendations! Had great service and overall food was nice and hot and delicious ! Definitely recommend this location“

“Margaritas and Fajitas! Great Service provided by Alex! The bottomless chips and salsa, the vegetarian fajitas and the presidente margs are my reason to live! Thanks Chili's!“

“I had an amazing experience at Denny’s thanks to our server, Jose. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. His energy was warm, friendly, and professional—exactly what great service should be.

Jose checked on us consistently without being intrusive, made sure our food came out hot and exactly as ordered, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. His attention to detail and positive attitude really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in his job and truly values his guests.

In a world where great customer service is rare, Jose is a gem. He elevated our entire dining experience, and we left feeling appreciated and satisfied. Denny’s is lucky to have someone like him. We’ll definitely be coming back because of his outstanding service!“

“Delicious food and great staff! Nice decor and atmosphere. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back.“

“There is always excellent service here!
The place is a classic sports bar. The tables are a tad sticky from time to time.
The food is definitely some of the best bar food around here. I recommend the fried mushrooms! My biscuits and gravy were pretty good! Big portions and well-made food made food. It's definitely worth checking out!“

“Love the wings super meaty and so many options“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I haven't been to this highly rated bar and grill. My friend Annette and I are going to stop by in the next few days; we really want to visit with Vanessa.“

“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 ♥️“

“This cozy little coffee shop has a nice selection of food, pastries and drinks hot and cold. With indoor and outdoor seating, there's always a good place for visiting with others or losing yourself in a good book while you enjoy their offerings.“

“We had the best family time at Stanley Beer Hall! Chef Derek and crew cooked up some delicious food that left us wanting more! I recommend the wings and edamame! Will be returning again soon for the food, service, and atmosphere!“

“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!“

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

“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?“

“Service was amazing! The waiter: Israel was awesome! The food was perfect! I give this restaurant experience 5 ⭐️’s👌“

“I 100% recommend the rock restaurant. I have been coming here for over 2 years and every time I have the best service. The whole staff is amazing and they find so much passion in their work. Especially Lindsay B. It has been so incredible to be able to get to know Lindsay and the whole stuff. The staff integrity towards their customers is phenomenal. The price and the food quality is so amazing. I definitely recommend The Rock Restaurant & Bar. Thank you so much for the amazing service!!“

“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.“

“We have been frequenting the IHOP in Glen Carbon IL since it’s reopening. Our experience has been great. Credit given to our sweet waitress Makenna C. She is the perfect waitress, she has a great personality and makes you feel so welcome. The food is great and being gf, I truly appreciate the gluten friendly pancakes and other menu items.“

“YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!?❤️This is the most amazing bar ever! I know everyone here and it's one big family! Very laid back vibes, good drinks at a great price as well as an atmosphere you can't find anywhere else ? bartenders are the best, they work so hard at what they do and always take care of everyone the best they can“

“Care was great!! She’s wonderful!“

“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“
