Rosie's Diner- Aurora Colorado


April 3, 2019 



I had a club sandwich with french fries. My sandwich was okay and was basically a typical club sandwich but it seemed like it was a little short on the meat. 


Dad had a cheese steak and he said it was not the best but it was okay and he thought the fries were good. 


Mom had the chile relleno plate and just thought it was alright. Our waiter was very friendly and after we left and forgot our to go box he ran it out to the parking lot to make sure we got it. We were here for a very late lunch but there were still a fair amount of people there that were mostly older folks. Rosies Diner was just okay and I might consider going back to try a milkshake but that would be about it.

Fat burger - Aurora Colorado


July 11, 2018 


On my half birthday my parents and I visited Fat burger. We all three ordered a cheeseburger with everything. Dad and I both got onion rings and Mom got the wide fries. 


Soon after our burgers were delivered to our table. Everything on the burger turned out to be pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and sweet relish. I liked the idea of relish but didn’t particularly like the sweet version. I very much enjoyed my burger it was a very classic burger and very good. 


The Onion rings were excellent they were good sized and the onion broke when you bit them. The fries weren’t so good. This was a good burger and great onion rings and I would definitely return.

Casa Gutierrez - Aurora Colorado

January 3, 2018 


We were early for dinner so the place was not so busy. We were seated right away and the same guy who seated us was our waiter, he was very nice and friendly and did a good job. 

 
 He took our drink orders which were all three cokes and he dropped off some chips and salsa which was some good stuff that we all enjoyed. Then we ordered I ordered a pick three combo with a beef enchilada, a crispy chile relleno and a tamale. Mom ordered the chile relleno plate with one soft and one crispy relleno. And dad ordered a chimichanga of some sort. Soon after this the food arrived on square plates.  Mom and mine both came with rice and beans and guacamole which were all pretty good. 

 
 On my plate my beef enchilada had kind of a different sauce on it maybe a mole-ish sauce and there were some white pieces in the beef filling and I just assumed they were onions but after I bit into it I realized it was potato. I thought the chili relleno was a pretty good one and actually had a bit more heat than most, but still not my favorite I've ever had. The tamale was a chicken tamale which was nice and soft and covered in green chili and was very tasty. When I was full and about halfway through the plate I asked for a box. 

 
Mom didn't know which relleno she liked best, but she did enjoy her meal very much 

 
as did dad with his chimichanga
We were very happy with our dinner at Casa Gutierrez and would definitely return.

Helga's German Restaurant & Deli - Aurora, CO

May 25, 2016


 
My parents and I stopped in for some German food for dinner on this night, we were a bit early so the place was mostly empty.  I ordered the breaded pork schnitzel, which came with two sides I choose Spaetzle and sauerkraut and a cup of soup and rye bread. 
 
 
The soup for this night was potato soup.  I really enjoyed this quite a bit.

 
The rye bread was very dry and I didn't care for it.

 
my pork schnitzel was pretty good, it was very thin and crispy.  I liked how the gravy was on the side so I could just dip pieces into the gravy and the schnitzel stayed crispy. The sauerkraut was alright, but was a bit sour for me after awhile, so I couldn't finish it. the Spaetzle was okay, kind of plain.  my dad had the fried potatoes which were very good and moms red cabbage which she didn't like to well, I thought was good and I liked it more than the sauerkraut.


I thought Helga's was alright, but there were some things I liked and some things I didn't like to well, so I thought it was pretty average.

A Town Pizza 2 - Aurora, CO

November 25, 2015

It was the day before Thanksgiving and we had to be in Denver and we thought that a nice wood fired pizza sounded good.  We had been to the original A town pizza and had a great pizza. This location was more convenient to where we were at. A town pizza 2 was bigger and had two pizza ovens instead of just one. Soon after we were seated our drink orders were taken we all three ordered cokes. When our waitress returned with the drinks she took our orders I got the #2 Short which had Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella and Pepperoni.  Dad got the #17 Jordo which had Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarrella, and Sausage.  Mom had the #1 Missy which had Tomato Sauce, Garlic, Fresh Mozzarella finished with Basil and Olive oil. The menu said you could and our waitress asked if we wanted to add all of oil basil so we all did. Soon after you could see the pizzas go in one of the two ovens and quickly come out and were finished with olive oil and basil. Then soon after they were delivered to our table.  
 
My pepperoni pizza was excellent maybe a few too many pepperonis if you can complain about that. Also the basil was a bit overpowering, but besides that everything on this pizza was excellent the bottom of the crust was a bit charred here and there which I thought was perfect.
 
I did actually think I liked my mom’s margarita better.  I liked it a bit better, but both were excellent.  Dad was very happy with his sausage pizza as well. I ate most of the pizza and took a box to enjoy the rest later.  Although I didn’t know when because Thanksgiving was coming the next day but I did eventually eat it.
