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.“

“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 🤩🤩🤩“

“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! 😋“

“Nadia was absolutely amazing. Very professional and fun to interact with. She has an outstanding memory. Took all 6 orders without a piece of paper and got them all 100% correct.

I’ve run customer service oriented companies for over 35 years. Nadia is a Top Performer.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great Mother’s Day breakfast!“

“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.“

“Was our first time to Cheddars and the food was amazing. We sat outside and the service was excellent. Rose was our food server and we enjoyed our lunch so very much. She was a very good food server and the food was so tasty. We will be going back as soon as possible“

“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!!!!“

“I ordered the burger and the sweet potato fries (which we were told about), it was a very good portion, my pic I had already eaten about a third of the fries before deciding I was going to do a review. Son had the steak frites and it filled up a teenager. My wife had the cobb salad, the salad was huge and took a full to go box for the left over portion. The kitchen does close at 945pm and we ordered about 930pm and everything came out great. We spent about $18-26 a person.

The place has a very cool feel, all the plants/trees are real which was a cool surprise. The string lights create a cool vibe for the place inside a hotel but it doesn't feel like it do to the open all the way up view. Our waitress Riche was very polite even as we knew we were arriving as everyone was trying to wrap up and close but gave great recommendations on the choices. Snapped a photo from the 4th floor over looking the dinning / hang out area. The bar area looked to seat 8-10 maybe, I didn't get a pic of it but had at least a couple good size TVs with sports on.“

“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!!“

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

“Some colleagues and I went to Garden + Grain last week for a business lunch, and it exceeded expectations! The poke tuna nachos were awesome, and Courtney (I believe was her name) was an excellent server! Thank you for the great experience!“

“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.“

“If you are looking for a place that consistently delivers amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere, T Street Kitchen is easily one of the best spots around Anschutz campus. Every visit feels like a treat. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, the ingredients are always fresh, and every dish I have tried has been packed with flavor.

What really stands out is the balance between creativity and comfort. The food feels elevated without losing the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care that you have a great experience.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it perfect whether you are meeting friends, grabbing a casual meal, or just stopping in because you know the food will be great. It is one of those rare places where everything comes together: excellent food, great service, and a space that makes you want to come back again and again. The strawberry margs are legit!!

Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Mommy and daughter’s date night“

“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!!! 🩷“

“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“

“The food was really good. And service was quick. The burgers and fries were tasty and hot. Kids said the tenders and quesadilla were fine. We really enjoyed the burgers. The overall place could use a good cleaning though. But this is definitely a place I'd return to for the food.“

“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“

“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 cannot say how much we love Vicky!! Our second time in and having Vicky wait on us was truly amazing. She remembered our drinks and the appetizer we had and this was only our second time with her! Hard to find such a fantastic wait person these days. She is the bartender and waits on all the tables in the bar area. Truly a one of a kind. Food is always good. And all the other interactions we've had are fantastic with other employees as well.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Still a great place for a lunch meeting- visiting this
Location for years and we've never been disappointed. Always quick and convenient. The new chicken sandwich was a thick and juicy filet and had to eat my salad first to let it cool. Everyone's meals were on Point!“

“Scooters Sports Bar & Grill is seriously one of my favorite spots to go to. The food is always fire, the drinks are good, and the atmosphere is just fun every time. You can tell Lindsay and Brandon really care about the place and the people that come in. They’ve built something that feels welcoming the second you walk through the door.

What makes Scooters different is the people behind it. Lindsay and Brandon are genuinely good people and always make everyone feel taken care of. It’s hard to find a bar now that still has that real laid back, hometown vibe, but this place definitely does.

Whether you’re going to watch a game, hang out with friends, or just grab some food and drinks, this is the spot. Nothing but love for Lindsay, Brandon, and the whole Scooters crew. Definitely recommend checking it out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“Love the wings super meaty and so many options“

“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.“

“Dinner at Southlands Red Lobster was excellent! Hadn't been to a Red Lobster for awhile, now I'm wishing we had come sooner.
Our server, Delaney was exceptionally good - friendly, very attentive and even offering suggestions when one of our party couldn't decide (and she was spot on with her suggestion!).
Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful - Helpful hint...don't fill up on the great biscuits.
will be back - soon!! and do yourself a favor and ask for Delaney“

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

“Went there for my birthday😆 been wanting one of their mucho mudslides ..... Forgot my ID at home. Then I wanted a Shirley Temple, and they ran out of cherries, which is the only party I was excited for(simple things🌻I was so sad. Food was good, waiter was awesome! And got a free dessert for my bday. Super yum! I'd def go back. Next time I'll def bring my ID lol.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“We love Greg, the bartender. He's so friendly and attentive. The drinks are reasonably priced at this establishment. We love the free popcorn. On Friday evenings, they have Karaokee all night. Saturdays seem to bring in a younger crowd. It's definitely a local, blue-collar type of establishment. They have pool tables and darts. There is ample parking.“

“Fun night out with family they had karaoke“

“Top Notch“

“I cannot say enough great things about the staff and service at this location! We were at a soccer tournament a couple miles away and the majority of the team decided to grab lunch together between games. I called ten minutes before they opened to see if they could accommodate 25 of us and when we all started arriving they had everything ready for us. It ended up being more like 35 and they still made it work. They did a great job keeping everything straight and getting the food out in a timely manner. Our team definitely has a new tradition when we play in that location again because Chili’s was so great to us!“
