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.“

“The huckleberry jalapeño margarita was phenomenal! My bison fillet was cooked to perfection! Everything was delicious and the service was great!“

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

“We called for a reservation for a large group of 30 with just a few hours notice, the reservation quickly tuned into more like 50 of us for a Poms state celebration. They took exceptional care of us on short notice, Hailey was our server our group also had Adrian assisting the other half of us. They were fantastic helped us celebrate a birthday as well as winning State with dessert, took orders between multiple parties and split checks like it was easy and were so pleasant with what could have been a very overwhelming and stressful to any server. The Manager Whitney went above and beyond to help us celebrate and that is rare these days! Definitely would recommend this restaurant and establishment 🤩🤩🤩“

“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“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“The atmosphere is great within the restaurant, family friendly and nice for a chill date. Our food is always good and comes out in a couple of minutes! Our waitress from this visit was great with her friendly and welcoming service. Rose was beyond helpful and had a great attitude to talk to!!! Thank you Rose!“

“We had the best time at Garden & Green for Breakfast with the Grinch at Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center. I took my mom and my three kids, and it was such a fun, memorable experience for all of us. The entire setup was extremely cute and festive perfect for kids. The Grinch interaction was entertaining and engaging, and my children absolutely loved it. You could tell a lot of thought went into creating a fun holiday atmosphere without it feeling rushed or chaotic. The food was a solid brunch-style buffet with a good variety, and everything we tried was fresh and enjoyable. It was the perfect balance of a family experience while still feeling well-organized and polished. Overall, this was such a special holiday outing and a great way to make memories with my kids. I would absolutely recommend it to families looking for a fun experience.“

“Love this place; great food and decent prices.“

“I'm definitely stopping by on my next trip to Colorado to have some great all American food!!“

“Our waitress, Nadja, gave me and my friends an amazing experience. She was attentive, friendly, and made everything enjoyable from start to finish. This was some of the best service we have ever received. Her warmth and professionalism truly made our visit special.“

“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.“

“Beautiful environment, good service, big menu but almost nothing for vegans. I was able to modify a dish but was surprised that a restaurant on or near a college campus wouldn't have a single vegan main dish on their menu. Even the vegetarian options were limited.“

“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“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food,fabulous parties, great place to meet friends and make new friends!! Most of all the people who work there are amazing and they truly care about all of us!! They have become my loving friends!!! You will be completely happy you came to Rendezvous for a most enjoyable experience in every way!!! Looking forward to seeing you there!!! 🩷“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Food was great, service was great, no complaints with either of those, but just kind of in a weird area? Felt like I was walking into the Twilight Zone when I got there. Neither me nor my friend had any clue where we were and there were some sketchy people just hanging out in the parking lot. All that said, everyone and everything in the restaurant was delightful!“

“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 Mother’s Day breakfast!“

“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!“

“Lana was friendly and awesome server. She was friendly and awesome and would honestly come back to here based on her service along. Thank you Lana.
We came back and honestly the food was horrible and they took the deal and changed it because we complained about the food. It was the worst experience ever! Never coming back here. I am disappointed.“

“Came in from out of town 15 mins before closing. They blasted my food out in crazy record time. It tasted great. They weren’t pushing to make me leave. The staff was laughing and playing around like they enjoyed their jobs. Then the manager Angela saw that she could go the extra mile at the end of the meal and she did.
Let’s go!“

“So, I normally go to Dennys as a casual meetup with family member's. The atmosphere this time was different. We Had a great server by the name of Mr.Dylan.
Between his jokes and his level of engagement and attentiveness to customer. He made this family meet up so much better.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Love the wings super meaty and so many options“

“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.“

“Absolutely always amazing every time we come here!!! Today is my birthday and I got pancakes (which are my favorite food ever!) and eggs and tea. My fiance got the grand slam which which is always excellent!! Victoria was extremely attentive and was so easy going with us and other customers we were all laughing and joking! It made for a memorable birthday dinner!“

“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.“

“Cindy is tops! We come in every Wednesday. She has a large group of Regulars. AND, she knows what all of us like to eat. Raul Boerner“

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

“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“

“Moved out of Aurora and wish y’all were in Highlands Ranch!! Carlos and fam, miss your wings!! Much Love ❤️🤙“

“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!!“

“Melhor café da manhã. Recomendo a todos!!!“

“I mean this in the best way: this place has a rich after-hours working-class blue collar local neighborhood bar vibe, where the drinks are stupid cheap and the people are friendly if you are. These kind of bars are rare in Denver, so cherish them. Don't come here expecting no Death & Co or 16th street cocktail bar. This is a place like The Dirty Duck or Zoe's Lounge, with pool tables and a certain nostalgic charm of having just one more drink with the boys/girls to delay the coming of tomorrow.“

“Top Notch“

“Our first time to BJ's and Doug took excellent care of us! We will definitely be back! Entering into a super nice environment, had an AMAZING server. And food was DELICIOUS! 5 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“Tonight’s meal at Red Lobster in Aurora Colorado Southlands was wonderful. Shawn our server greeted us and asked us if we wanted water, soda, or a cocktail. We orders our drinks and put in our order for calamari.

After our appetizer arrived, both my husband and I had the surf and turf filet. I ordered my filet medium with no seasoning (trying to cut back on salt). My sides, I had the baked potato and crispy Brussels sprouts. My hubby had mashed potatoes and broccoli. Our food came out hot. And to my wonderful surprise my steak had no salt and was cooked medium just like I ordered and my husband’s was medium rare just like he ordered. Thank you Shawn.

It’s rare that my husband and I order the same cut of meat and get it cooked exactly the way we wanted it. I wanted to make sure the chef knew we were pleased with the meal. We later found out Chef Luis made our meal perfect. Everything from the service to the food was excellent and deserving of 5 stars.“
