This little neighbor bar and restaurant offers great cocktails and yummy food. They have every kind of whisky/bourbon you can think of and they really know how to make a drink. All their burgers come cooked exactly to order and are very flavorful. I love their fries, they have the perfect crisp while still being soft inside and they also have a great blue cheese-balsamic chip appetizer, made to order. The cherry on top is the friendly service and the cozy atmosphere with TVs all about showing different sports.

Seriously would have never known this place existed if it wasn't for the yelp! I was jonesing for a burger and fries so I stopped here during lunch and was surprised to see that they have lunch specials! Burger and fries for under $12 and it was tasty! I sat at the bar and ordered the mushroom Swiss with fries, it was fresh, cooked perfectly and basically the burger I had been dreaming of. It's a little past Southlands east on Smoky Hill so more of a spot known by locals but it's worth the drive if you're looking for a solid burger.

Update: I got my chance to dine in here. This place is known to have great burgers but I ordered chicken sandwich! Our waitress said it was a great sandwich and she wasn't lying! The rest of my family did order burgers and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of those burgers. The burger on the kids meal is pretty darn big too! The other thing they are known for is bourbon! And what a selection they have! Huge list with many options if that is what you want. They do have cocktails too - none of them appealed to me so I went with a red wine. The bartender was very generous with my pour! The restaurant is somewhat small and pretty noisy but they had a few families in there in addition to the bourbon and burger lovers.

This burger joint has great ambiance and delicious food! We were seated quickly and ordered the tall pilsner. The food came out fast and our burgers were cooked perfectly. The restaurant was not too noisy and was perfect for having a conversation. Will definitely be back when I'm back in town!

I went by today and got the Odds Maker Burger and a Bowl of Chili. My Burger was huge and juicy, cooked just right, Medium and it came with fries. which were very Tasty and Delicious. The Chili was not too spicy and came with sour cream and cheese. The waitress and bar tender were very personable and helpful. I will definitely be back.

Came here for the first time and we loved it. The fried mushrooms were killer. Blue cheese could be a bit more blue- cheesy.

The food was amazing. Made a point of stopping here when I was back in town. Those balsamic bacon and blue cheese fries are incredible. The burger was also so wonderful. Everything is great quality and fresh and flavorful. Small location that's dominated by the large bar but manages to be comfortable and inviting. Service was great.

We live 5 min away from Bookmakers Burgers, so we decided to give this place a try while watching the NBA finals. The restaurant itself is cozy yet spacious, dimly lit to make it more of a pub atmosphere. It wasn't busy at all, and we seated ourselves at the bar. The waiter was super friendly and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. We started with mozzarella sticks, and they were not good at all. It literally came out 2 minutes after we placed an order and of course it wasn't cooked all the way through. It really seems like they just bought those frozen mozzarella sticks, threw them in the deep fryer and just served it right away. The mozzarella sticks were cold inside, and the marinara sauce was also served cold. Why put them on the menu if you're just gonna serve half-assed food?I ordered the bookmaker burger with bacon and my gf ordered the oddsmakers burger, both medium. The burgers came out as well done, the bacon was too chewy, almost as if I was biting off a piece of leather, and the buns were stale and hard. Overall, the food was ok, not great. Not sure if we will come back again, but I guess I'll update the review when that time comes.

I want to start by saying that this place is one of my favorite go-to restaurants. The service is 5 star for sure. However, I had ordered my burger medium and it came very well done. Although not a huge mistake, it cost them a star. I also tried the peach Old Fashioned which was awfully sweet. That was quickly rectified by another shot of bourbon.:) I have to remember to take pics as the presentation was mouthwatering.

Shout out to Yelp (yes, again), for taking all the mystery out of finding a great place to eat, in a distant part of Aurora. We showed up on Christmas Eve Eve and waited just a tad. Not bad for a Friday night paired with a holiday weekend. Everyone ordered burgers and an assortment of sides, mostly fries. My friend and I veered off and had sweet potato fries and tater tots, but that aside, this was an all American meal. Everyone raved. Even the gluten free bun was stellar - and if you're serious about GF, you know this is a big deal. Each burger was cooked to order, seasoned well and let me say, the green chili burger was fabulous. Drinks? My friend and I ordered whiskey sours. Sooooo good. Gorgeous presentation also. The guys ordered an Old Fashioned and whiskey with one small ice cube - also made to order. Tasty. If it weren't for the hour drive, we'd be back more often. When we're back in the area, you know it, they're book marked to return.
