The menu features a wide variety of distinctive made-from-scratch American favorites. The list includes everything from award winning burgers and BBQ Ribs to steaks and seafood.

In Short – From the giant fork door handle to the soft cushioned booths, this restaurant feels homey. Warm woods and comfortable tables in the bar are perfect for lingering from happy hour until the evening fades. The menu spans Southwestern rolls, Louisiana-sauced chicken sandwiches and salmon fish and chips. Sandwiches, giant salads and burgers offer a tasty, cheaper alternative to the house specials. For dessert there's a warm apple cobbler with ice cream.

french dip? ha

by solsista at Citysearch

This restaurant looks really nice, the atmosphere is great, and the service was good.... but the food was lacking. A few other people posted that this was the best french dip in Aurora and I have to disagree. I haven't found the best yet, but this is NOT it. My sandwich tasted like ground beef and was so greasy it was dripping. I only finished half of it. Maybe I was there on an off night, but I won't be going back to find out.

  • Pros: nice atmosphere, great service
  • Cons: food wasn't great
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great place with great food!

by austingirlf07 at Citysearch

My husband and I were traveling to Denver for a medical procedure and I wanted to find something new to try. I found this resteraunt on here and thought it looked good! After a long day of traveling it was a perfect spot to wind down. We both had the soup and it was a great starter then he had the pesto pasta which was to die for. I had the meatloaf and it was the same. We could not stop talking about how wonderful it was. We ended up eating it again before we left! It is a must for some good food, and we will be going back again!!!

  • Pros: Quick service, delicious food, ambiance
  • Cons: parking

Good Price and Tasty Food

by kellerdavd at Citysearch

From the outside this place looks nice. Inside it is very casual. We went here with my friends and it was a bit slow so they allowed us to seat ourselves. The wait staff was very patient and friendly with us. The food was really good, which kinda surprised me. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but altogether a good place for the price.

  • Pros: food,service
  • Cons: chairs
