Bent Fork American Grill

I've gone to The Bent Fork for their French Dip for years. It's the best French Dip I've ever had and it's my favorite sandwich in Denver. The hamburgers are also excellent. The atmosphere is great and there is lots of parking available. They have a nice bar too.

I saw the reviews for this restaurant here on Citysearch and figured it was worth the trip to Saudi-Aurora to give it a try. Wow! what a find! The restaurant has been there for many years - but if it weren’t for Citysearch we would have never found it. We made reservations through OpenTable - but probably didn't need to. We were there on a busy Friday night and were seated promptly. The digs are very warm and comfortable. Exposed brick, nice lighting, and comfortable tables. The service was very attentive and friendly. Our server made helpful suggestions and explained details of some of the dishes. The menu is wonderful. It's all over the board with flavors - which are good for pleasing all kinds of tastes. My husband had the buffalo pot-roast. It came in a wonderful presentation and the minute he touched the top with his fork, it was so tender it flaked apart on its own. The flavor was amazing. I had the mac and cheese with lobster. Comfort food all grown up! It had a nice combination of cheeses, which held up great with the tender lobster pieces. We will definetly be back and have recommended this place to all our friends.

Pros: Very comfortable, great menu and super service.

If you're craving comfort foods then this is the place! Interesting interior and very attentive waitstaff. Food is excellent. I went with a group of 6, we all ordered different things, and everyone loved their food. It's one of those places that you see everyone else's plate and you want to order that too because it all looks and smells SO good. We'll all be back for sure.

Pros: Excellent waitstaff and food presentation.

Cons: Seating was a little cramped.

When in Aurora this is one restaurant I can always count on. I have eaten at the bent fork numerous times and always had a wonderful experience. The food is all superb, the service prompt and the ambiance and decor is a step above what you would expect for the prices on the menu. Try the salmon fish and chips, it is fantastic and this is the only restaurant outside of Seattle that I have found it.

Pros: food, service, ambiance

Cons: its in Aurora

The food is superb, and quite inexpensive. The staff is friendly & the service is great. I used to wor nearby & ate there frequently for lunch. everything I tried was always excellent. Happy Hour gets busy & is a nice stopping off spot in an area that doesn't have many quality choices.

Pros: The food & the service are both excellent.

Cons: The location of Iliff & Peoria isn't the best.

We drive from North Denver to work our way through this wonderfully diverse menu. No dissapointments so far. We try somthing different each visit. Except....The Brownie Sampler, three different warm brownies with vanilla ice cream... this has become a favorite each time.

The Rasberry Bread Pudding is to die for!!! As a self proclaimed dessert expert, this has quickly become my favorite dessert, and would recommend it to anyone. This is the best end to an already great dining experience at the Bent Fork, or a great snack with a friend any day!

Pros: dessert, ribs, friendly service

Try the roast beef or the baby back ribs. You will go nowhere else. The staff is friendly and genuinely concerned. The owners must be proud of their accomplishments. It is everything a restaurant should be. They have a good wine list. And the prices are very reasonable.

Pros: food, staff, pricing

I have eaten at the Fork for about a year- and this place is amazing. I have had Mat for a server, and he is definitely someone to request- funny, prompt and knowledgeable. This place knows what it's doing- order the salmon fish and chips or the filet!! You will never be disappointed!!!

Pros: Good Value, Server Mat, Best Food
