The Most Delectable Fast Food in Aurora

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (64) • $

"Terrible service. There's always something out of order, broken and multiple other problems. Water in bathroom is cold! Employees can't even wash their hands properly after using the bathroom. They screw up orders, don't give you something you order etc...Then we have a bunch of teenagers who just don't give a s*** and it shows! The food is decent when the chicken is not all dried up. Red beans 'n' rice is awesome!"

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★☆☆☆☆ 1.3 (36) • $

"My Popeyes experience wasn't as bad as the other reviews, but it still wasn't amazing. However, the guy in the drive through was super nice to me so that's always a plus. I'm not generally a Popeyes fan, more into Chick-fil-A, but I wanted to finally try the spicy chicken sandwich. It's also pretty close to work. Well folks, the sandwich was delicious, but it WAS NOT spicy!!! I'm giving this place two stars because the flavour is good, but the fact that there was absolutely no spice makes me feel like I wasted unnecessary calories. The sandwich was so good though, imagine if it was actually spicy and what I ordered.... one can dream."

Panda Express

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (45) • $

"I like this panda express. The food is always fresh and the employees are friendly. The drive thru can take a long time when busy but its usually worth waiting because you'll know your food will be fresh!! Honey walnuts shrimp is always sooo good! And for the person commenting on the employees asking for a donation .... you're a damn idiot! "If I had money I'd be eating at pf changs" then eat home you ungrateful douche!"

Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (49) • $

"This was our first stop here, to be honest I had never seen a Good Times before moving to Colorado, and when I first saw it, I wasn't hurried to go there due to the branding (signage, name, colors). However, the quality of food is much better than the branding. I was really surprised to find out they use quality meats and how fresh Everything tasted. We got a double, a west coast, beer battered onion rings, fries and a strawberry cheesecake custard (soooo good!) I would have given 5 stars but our burgers were slightly dry. It could be a one off. The onion rings tasted house made and like a pub, which were delicious, And the custard is so creamy and delightful. The guy working there was extremely helpful, professional and nice. We will be back. The cups and packaging is now gray and red, a much better upscale looking brand than the original branding."

Fazoli's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (72) • $

"Love this place. It's probably one of the only chain restaurants that's worth visiting while traveling. During our road trips, this is definitely one of the places we look for, plus the prices are definitely not hard on the pocketbook. I wish there were more of these in California."

QDOBA Mexican Eats

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (43) • $

"Quick spot to grab Qdoba at the Gardens on Havana. Fresh & busy so the meats and chicken are always fresh off the grill. I often grab the small chicken burrito bowl with a cookie for lunch. Even when there is a line it moves quickly. The salsas at this location are delicious and seem to have a good heat! Quality of food is always good but the level of service is hit or miss. In the past year they have had manager changes so maybe that's why? There have been times I've gone in and the person making the bowl looks like they can't wait to go home. Well if you're in the mood for Qdoba stop here and pick up your favorites. There is lots of parking at the GOH and you'll be sure to be in and out if you're picking up lunch."

Taco Bell

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (36) • $

"Time and again this location has let us down. Order has been wrong several times in the past, paying for things we didn't get. This time ordered 6 tacos and 2 chalupa's. I asked for extra sauce and they gave us 4 packets. It's not that hard guys. We won't be back. This is ridiculous."

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.6 (103) • $

"First time coming in to try Potbelly Sandwiches and I was pleased. I saw you can order online for pick-up which is really convenient!I had the Mediterranean Sandwich with Chicken. All the veggies and hummus were cold and fresh. The sandwich was much more filling than I anticipated.I tried the Mac & Cheese too! It was white cheddar - so sharp and creamy, yum!After my meal I was intrigued by their shakes. I tried the Coffee Shake. You can get it caffeinated or decaffeinated, which is nice. It was around 3 o'clock when I went, so I didn't want to be up all night but I wanted that coffee taste. And it comes with a cookie around the straw :)"

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (201) • $$

"You can't go wrong with a raising canes. They are pretty much all the same. Service is always fine. The food typically is always hot. Very hot and fresh probably because they are constantly making chicken fingers and fries. The sauce is always good and most everyone needs an extra because you can never have too much sauce. All of the restaurants are decorated pretty much the same. There's no doubt that I will be back again and again. I just wish they had one closer to my house."

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (38) • $

"Whatever the service takes little longer, the food only matters for me, which is always good and delicious."

Sonic Drive-In

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (39) • $

"The same concept as every other Sonic, just depending on which one you go to and the service you receive. I am not a huge fan of their milkshakes, however I am a fan of their bacon burger, which I came late at night and got serviced promptly before closing! Very close to the area, and they are doing the late night curfew which is 10:00pm. Drive thru was closed, but overall had a good experience."

Smashburger

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (371) • $$

"My boyfriend's family recommended this place to me on their last layover in Denver. We went together for a quick stop before our next flight and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and quickness of service/preparation of food in an airport! We just quickly ordered in line and ate by our gate, but there seemed to be a good amount of seating and some TVs inside. The decor was very on brand and looked well-kept.The burgers were great. I got the truffle swiss mushroom burger -- it had just the right amount of everything, including truffle, which tends to be overpowering in most cases but was perfect in this burger! We also got the tater tots, which were super crispy and were seasoned with rosemary! Not many places do that but that seasoning was absolutely superb.Some notes of improvement would be that the side of fries that come with each entree get a bit soggy fast (the tater tots stayed crispy the whole time). My boyfriend liked the chicken sandwich but it was a bit too salty and dry. My boyfriend's brother liked the bun, but thought that the bacon could be crispier and overall the burger could've been warmer. All in all, I think that this place was a really great spot to hit, especially in an airport, and I'd go again! The quality is just exceptional for airport food but it was a bit expensive, as things in airports tend to be."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (17)

"Searching for that perfect snack before dinner and what a better place than the food court. Specifically Park Meadows. Started with the Shake Shack and down to road to Sabaroro, Chick-fil-A, Chinese and skipped Renzios (bad experience) and when I saw the menu at the Popeyes, thos was it. Love at 1st site and actually never had chance to try it till today.How was it?.It was lot better than I expected. How was it compare to Chick-fil-A? It was spicier, meatier and buns were lot better. Chicken pattie were crispy till the last bite and the spicy flavor was definitely stronger than the competition. $4.99 for sandwich at here, $5.19 at Chick-fil-A. Do not know the quality of chickens but definitely a good alternative to one another to try different flavors. Oh.. this one didn't come with "my pleasure" Do you notice the hidden chicken below the sign?"

Burger King

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (87) • $

"Went here to grab a quick lunch for the wife and I. A number one and a jr whopper is now $22. Such a rip off. At the window, I asked for a honey mustard and they tried to charge me $3.99 for a dipping sauce. Idk if it's this location or just greedy corporate America (probably both) but when crappy fast food is now at the same price point as a restaurant, I'm going to choose a restaurant every single time. You have to be a fool to continue to pay this super inflated prices especially when the quality of the food is going down."

Jimmy John's

"Stopped in after an event at the Aurora reservoir. I picked up a regular number seven and a regular number 12 combos. The service was extra friendly and super fast. I like to get both sandwiches cut in half so that we can share with each other. We got half a beach club and half of an Italian. Inside of the restaurant was very clean and all of the displays for chips and cookies were full and perfectly presented. There is 10 minute only parking directly in front of the store front. The parking stalls are shared with Little Caesars on Noodles & Co. I don't typically go to this location, but would definitely go back if I was in the area. Maybe next time I go paddle boarding at the Aurora Reservoir I'll stop and grab some subs to enjoy on the beach."

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (29) • $

"I rarely write reviews right on the spot but I had to make sure I got these quotes right. Came at 3pm on a Sunday and it was busy with consistent customers but not insane. A young man started my sandwich and while ordering I heard another man (who I later found out was the owner) openly yelling at the young woman working the cashier saying "what are you stupid?, you are about to give that sandwich away for free" as she rang up a woman that had ordered about 7 subs. The young woman at the cashier look concerned, apologized and then said to the owner "it's okay I'll pay for it myself" to which the owner said "no you have to make her pay!" and then the young woman had to embarrassed ask the customer to pay another $7 for the last sub. Move on down the line to where the owner (by the way not wearing a subway shirt or hat) abruptly puts the veggies on my sandwich without looking up, poor customer service and yells again at the woman at the cashier "are you going to take all year?!?" Regarding her ringing up my sandwich. Once at the register the woman told me that was the owner when I asked and I said "I'm sorry he's so rude to you" as that was all I could do in the moment. This was probably the most blunt disrespect of employees by an owner I have witnessed in person. Please DO NOT GIVE YOUR BUSINESS to this Subway location. This owner is disrespectful and has no sense of customer service or perception he is putting out."

"Love that they're still offering Beyond orange chicken at this location. It's so good and I can have a complete vegan meal when I order it with chow mein, greens and spring rolls. I'll keep coming back at long as they keep offering it."

"Speedy fast service is right :) they make it as you're ordering! Good quality of fresh food too. I always get the veggie"

Sonic Drive-In

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (81) • $

"At Sonic, you can count on the quality of the food, the outstanding service and the unique drive up and ordering service. Sonic is consistent and offers a great old fashioned dining experience. Over the years nothing has changed, it is so dependable."

Smashburger

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (276) • $

"Tried to give this location the benefit of the doubt. Waiting for my order that I ordered online. They told me it would be ready for pickup 30 mins ago, I'm still waiting, it's not that crowded inside either. Only one kid working the counter and seems like the kitchen crew in back is super slow, I won't be back and neither will my coworkers. Spent my entire lunch break waiting for food that we ordered online, and they confirmed it was ready prior to arriving there. Don't ever go to this location, go next door to subway or dominoes. You'll get better service for the price."

Culver's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (165) • $

"This was my second time at Culver's, but in a different state. The people working there were so polite upon entrance they suggested I try the strawberry frozen custard and it did not disappoint. Additionally this is one of the largest Culvers' location . They had elevated seating upstairs. Overall good experience. I didn't know they made more than sweet treats."

Arby's

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (42) • $

"This Arby's has been good to us. Fresh, hot food, lots of curly fries in each order and quick service with a smile. Yes, I have been here a few times in the evening and the outside lights are not on. Not cool, but the food has always been good. I usually get our sandwiches to go, but today we ate in.The restaurant was clean, well stocked and it was a pleasant experience."

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (31) • $

"I don't know why this Wendy's has such a low star rating but the manager was prompt with my order and everything was fresh to the T! I should have took a picture of it first before I devoured it. lol nothing special but the inside was very clean and everything worked which sometimes you don't get at fast food joints. The bathrooms were clean and even had those scent sticks like I was at some fancy bathroom lol. Starbucks doesent even have that The person who helped me her name was Sara. She was quick with the order and funny. She was everywhere too fron drive thru to front counter!"

Subway

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (18) • $

"Who would've known how long I went without reviewing my old neighborhood Subway? It's been almost 13 years of eating at this wonderful establishment as a kid AND it's nuts I never reviewed it!! My recent visit consists of ordering for 2 foot long sub-sandwiches after having a bit of a stressful day; anybody can relate! I love the Jalapeno Cheese Bread with chicken, extra-extra bacon and pepper jack cheese! Man that sounds sooo good right now. The nice ladies warmed my sandwich in the oven and added loads of vegetables for me. I really enjoyed getting a side of a macadamia cookie and got chips and a drink. Subway is an underrated date spot idea."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3 (95) • $

"Nice Staff!!This place is great for the staff alone. They are soooo AMAZING and NICE!! The food is good, but it is really close to Subway to me, especially the bread. Maybe I came on an off day, but I was hoping for better quality there."

MOD Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32) • $

"Brief update: we haven't been here in person since COVID, but continue to order delivery through DoorDash, which works well. The pizzas are still good, and arrive warm."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (12)

"I am so happy this place opened down the street from me. We have a few chains out here, but I hardly ever go to them and they aren't good either. This place is fantastic! Every time I have been in everyone is super friendly and caring. (Eric and Jr. are gems) I always get the same thing (Club Sub - only lettuce, extra pickle). It's always consistent and fast.

Kokoro - Arvada

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (202) • $$

"I came for a light dinner and sat at their curved white wood bar. Their prices have not increased. Service was very quick. I started with a large glass of fresh iced black tea. I got the Nana Tuna Poke bowl with no rice. Plenty of seaweed salad, diced cucumber and avocado slices were included. I got a cup of Forest Child soup made with mushrooms, onions and carrots. For sushi (you can't avoid rice) was 8 pieces of the Spicy Tuna roll. All good. My server, Kevin H was pleasant & got me a free refill for the iced tea."

Sonic Drive-In

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (47) • $

"My friend suggested that we try Sonic's new Oreo Big Scoop Cookie Dough Blast, so we headed there tonight and was SO disappointed. Maybe it was just this location, but the blast came out...Unblended? How did that even happen? It was literally soft ice cream topped with Oreo and cookie dough pieces. That WAS NOT what was advertised on their screens. 1 star. However, I gave them one more star because the Blasts came out very fast, and this location was very busy at 1030PM."

Shake Shack Cherry Creek

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (46)

"I am very excited that there are more Shake Shack locations popping up in Colorado to spread out the lines. Shake Shack never disappoints. The Shroom Burger is so unique that you can't find it anywhere. The cheesy goodness that melts in between the portobello mushroom is mouthwatering. While the burger is on the pricier side compared to the West Coast rival, the quality is so much better.The fries still hold their crunch as you drive back home to eat them. There's enough salt and flavor on the fries without the additional need of condiments. The shakes are delicious. I love trying the seasonal shakes they offer and the strawberry rhubarb shake was so yummy. This was a spring offer."

Five Guys

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (183) • $

"Jersey mikes employee here, we traded with them and IT WAS GOOD AFFood was amazing, along with service 10/10 would recommend"

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (62) • $

"This location, like most all Mcdonalds are fully automated. Order and pay from the kiosk or your app and your order will be ready momentarily. But this time the kiosk printed out a receipt and informed me to pay at the front counter, which, to my surprise was actually hassle free. my food came out a few mins later and I was on my way a happy customer."

Chick-fil-A

★★★★☆ 3.5 (96) • $

"This is a very busy chick fil a. But the crew gets the line down fast. Need extra seats."

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (54) • $

"Pulled in the drive through and ordered a breakfast number one combo. I was the only one at the drive-through with no other cars behind me. I was asked to pull forward into a holding spot. I said there was no one behind me and I would wait at the window. The manager came to the window and insisted I pull forward (wasn't sure why). Waited 10 minutes and the runner came out and asked me what I ordered. I told them what I ordered and was handed the bag. I left and shortly there after to find out they messed up my order. I've had several issues at this location with this one being the latest. I believe the only reason they're in business is the McDonald's name. If not for that, they will be out of business."

Hamburger Stand

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (47) • $

"So bummed to have given up Wienerschnitzel leaving LA and then we found this It's exactly the same place but a different name- not sure why. I haven't been able to find any comparable chili in existence then what's on their chili dogs I don't know what it is with all that processed goodness but I'm obsessed, the fries are always so good and you can't go wrong with tastee freeze connected!"
