O'malley's Steak Pub

"We love O'malley's! Great food, great atmosphere, great drinks and great service always!"

Texas Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (346) • $$

"I don't understand the low ratings? It's always busy and staffed well. I've been here 6 times and I always get greeted immediately and service is amazing especially for a chain restaurant. Shannon was the first person I met when I sat at the bar. I've met three more bartenders. Everyone was welcoming. They all make sure they know your first name. They have a lot of regulars and I understand why. They make sure you are taken care of. I've tried a few of their dishes. Their steaks and chicken dishes were very good. I was impressed for a chain restaurant. They offer many sides to go with their entrées. I particularly like the green beans, steak fries, and even the red chili. The stuffed potatoes are huge! The steaks were perfectly grilled and I added mushrooms onions to it. The horseradish is delicious as well. I've tried their NY Strip, Porterhouse, and Sirlion so far. The ambiance is a Texas Roadhouse style setting. It's very loud though. Lot's of people there and it gets busy. I had to wait 3 hours to sit at the bar on a Saturday night. I still was served well. I would recommend reservations any day of the week."

LongHorn Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (322) • $$

"i can't believe that we hadn't been to longhorn before. the host was great, short to no wait, our server was on it and friendly. loved the ambiance and cleanliness and - that despite being quite busy, not loud in the least. they were good about spreading guests out. now for the grub!! the bread n butter was quite tasty & generous in portion. the steak was so eff-word flavorful and perfectly cooked as requested. the baked spuds (who can screw that up, tho?) were amply sized and loaded with butter per our request. ooh. & the crispy potato skin was so salty and buttery and deelish! the salads were tasty too. not much love here, bc "you can't make friends with salads" a not-so-wise man one said. we will be back over n again. ps- sorry to disappoint, we arrived so hungry that i don't even think to snap a pic."

Outback Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (184) • $$

"You ever find some old gift cards and wonder have I used these? I called the number on the back of the cards but the bot said the card numbers were invalid. Since it was an automated bot I was determined to check for myself. Well, when I got to the restaurant I needed the cards checked since I knew these cards were from 2017 or earlier. My server, Brooke ran the cards and when she gave me the balances I knew I was in really good shape. I quickly ordered the 22oz Melbourne Porterhouse medium rare with broccoli and a house salad. The steak was definitely the biggest cut on the menu, which matched my attitude-- go big or go home. When it arrived I wasn't sure I could finish it but Brooke had faith. Who am I disappoint? The filet side of the porterhouse was very delicious and cut without effort. The NY side also cut fairly easy. There is always some carving involved with a cut this big, but it was definitely delicious. The broccoli and salad were also tasty. The bread was warm and perfect. The servers all seemed to be smiling and enjoying themselves. The music was an interesting mix of country and Justin Bieberesque type hits. It was not overwhelming and I only noticed it twice. There are plenty of TVs in the bar area if you need to watch a game and throw back some drinks. If not, get your conversation on, stare into each other's eyes, and whisper sweet nothings by choosing dining room seating. The dining room lends itself to family eating, couples, solo flyers, and casual dress. I waffled back and forth but finally deducted a star since the interior and restrooms were dated, but so am I, so it didn't bother me; however, it might feel meh to a hipster. So add a star back at your discretion.Overall, a quality experience. I recommend you give it a go-- take a crack at it and enjoy a Fosters."

Black Hat Cattle

★★★★☆ 4 (154) • $$$

"The Old West found its roots right here! Rodeo and cowboy meet Frontiersman and trapper!! Lots of animal taxidermy line the walls including elk, moose and bison. Saddles and hats are nicely displayed around the rooms along with lots of Western decor and artwork. What an impressive menu!! The focus is on beef, primarily their Cowboy Ribeye (personally my favorite cut of meat) which is dry aged in house and cooked to perfection, but other options like trout, chicken, shrimp are available with a good array of side dishes. We started off with escargot and shrimp cocktail appetizers which were really well done! Most of our orders were the Cowboy or the filet and all were cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. I split a wedge salad with my colleague and it was really wonderful fresh and tasty. The blue cheese was incredible. My steak was beautifully grilled and tender as expected. I was not disappointed. Dessert options were many and we all shared a bite here and there to fully appreciate the fare. Amazing and attentive service by Ken for our party of 8 adults and the owner Dave popped by to say hello in true cowboy fashion; humble and quiet. I'd love to return during the summer as they have outdoor patio. What a gem!"

Manning’s Steaks And Spirits

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52)

"Had a reservation for two, arrived a little early and was actually seated promptly but we ended up waiting 15 minutes with no drink order or even a greeting besides getting seated. Pretty disappointed, ended up going to the front to let them know and nothing was done about it. We ended up just going up to the bar and ordering there.Sitting at the bar we were greeted and asked for our drink order and then ordered food. Besides the first part of the experience the place was nice and had a good atmosphere. We were happy that we moved to the bar. The front of the house manager came up to us at the bar towards the end of our meal and said "we're still working on things, getting better" but that was it."

Saltgrass Steak House

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (361) • $$

"From start to finish, grade A+. My first time here, I felt pretty comfortable right away. I loved the outdoor, woodsy feel and the layout it self. Great for larger parties or onesies such as me.My server Cody (boy I hope I got that right, lost the receipt with her name on it) greeted me in a timely manner. In fact, her timing was perfect throughout. She was delightful. Not too much, not too little. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly with smiles I always appreciate.I ordered a Cosmopolitan, another first, which was beautiful, tasty and, well, fun. My entree was a 6oz steak, rare. Many times I ask for rare and I guess they just don't believe me. I often get medium or medium rare. But this time the steak was not only perfectly cooked for me but perfectly seasoned as well. As a side, I asked for the "Flash Fried Green Beans". I'm not a lover of fried foods but when it was explained to me what that meant, I went for it.Not coated in dough but just quickly dunked. Now I am a fan. The green beans had a lovely seasoning to them and the crispness was very satisfying.The manager, Nick, stopped by my table, an unexpected thrill. I loved telling him how happy I was. He was professional, personable and took his time to listen to me. Kudos to him for running a well-oiled business.The finishing touch I had later. A "Pecan Pie Bread Pudding", what? I live close so the ice cream that came with it didn't melt. But, I put it all away and sampled it hours later, heated it up and was bowled over. What a great combo with luscious vanilla ice cream as the finishing touch.Prices, by the way, were pretty reasonable, presentations perfect and everything was very well made. Their Ranch dressing was to write home for (I just wanted a sample). I ordered a salad, which arrived fresh and crisp. The Caesar dressing they used was absolutely the best I've had in, oh, I dunno, forever! Really, the flavors flooded my mouth like a good Caesar should.Next time I'm bringing my son, also a bit discerning. Can't wait!"

Denver ChopHouse

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (689) • $$

"Restaurants at airports aren't always known for their excellence, but I ate at this place while waiting for a plane and it was a good experience. I sat at the counter outside and tried to order with the QR code but a server was required. She was very nice (as was all the staff) and quickly got my order. My steak sandwich and fries was pretty good and it was a big portion...it could have easily fed two people. I also had a large bottle of Pellegrino and with tip, everything was $41. Like I said, it could feed two so I think a decent $20 meal (per person) at an airport restaurant isn't a bad deal. Combine that with nice service and I give this place four stars."

Elway's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (789) • $$$

"I had there Monday chicken bacon sandwich, special it was so delicious. The waitress was very nice as well good service."

Ted's Montana Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"I have never had a bison burger that almost brought me to tears lol. So moist and full of flavor. The waiters were exceptional and the drinks superb. You also need to try this sauce that comes with the onion rings. It is delicious!!!"

Ted's Montana Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (298) • $$

"Ted's is a place we visit during every trip to Aurora. This visit did not change our view. Prompt greeting and seating with immediate delivery of our request for drinks and their signature pickles was provided. The salt and pepper trout special was very nice. My wife enjoyed her bison meatloaf sandwich. We have no suggestion for improvement."

Black+Haus Tavern-Littleton

★★★★☆ 4 (64)

"I loved this place for so many reasons! 1) Tons of healthy + gluten-free options. 2) Fun mocktails! 3) Great little patio.I will definitely be coming back here with friends, as my salad was amazing and the drinks were great. Service was quick, and it's a fun spot."

Quality Italian

★★★★☆ 4 (655) • $$$

"Lovely ambience, amazing service and great food! We came here for dinner on a weekend evening and this place was packed, we were a group of 6 and made a reservation in advance! My favorites were the gnocchi, chicken parmigiana and the desserts. Their house bread was lovely, we ordered more and I was stuffed! My husband got the lobster pasta and they live flamed it at the table, it was nice. The gnocchi was amazing, best I've had in a long time. Desserts were great, specially the tiramisu and the cheese ice cream with the pie. We also got a couple bottles of wine for the table and they had a good selection and an in house Somalier. I really liked this place and will be back!"

Flemings Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (509) • $$$

"So for the cost of dining here, our waiter was extremely blunt, not fun, seemed to not know what he was doing, and had other waiters picking up his slack and making him frustrated. Some of our party didn't like their stakes at all, but we had also been there a long time and didn't like interacting with our waiter. We elected to not make a fuss and leave. The restaurant is very clean and so is the restroom, is is a quiet restaurant which is very nice. The food isn't that great though considering the amount of money you're shelling out... My lobster and fillet were good, but nothing special. The chef also made a medium rare practically rare, which I did asked to have seared and temped to proper medium rare core temperature. Over all I don't think I'd come back here when Del Frisco's is so close..."

The Ranch at West 40

★★★★☆ 4.1 (177) • $$

"This place has the best breakfast, can't decide on our favorite meal yet, we try something new each time we're here. This chef knows how to cook an over easy egg!! Their ability to create all these dishes and each one has been delicious! Service is always good, super friendly staff. Looking forward to our next time in!"

Hickory House Ribs & Steaks

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (661) • $$

"We arrived to a full house but were fortunate enough to be seated at a table for 6 which was perfect for the 6 of us. We were seated in a section where Abi was our waiter which was also fortunate as he is a master of his trade. We ordered and it felt as though it was just a few minutes before he returned to our table with all of our selections. I selected the #2 Plate which is a half rack of ribs with a side of pulled pork, a side of beans and coleslaw and French Fries. The portions were outstanding. There was enough food that 2 people could easily share it and be fully satisfied. Our table also ordered hamburgers, wings, Mac-n-cheese and chicken all of which was delicious. If you have a large party or just a couple looking for a great place to relax and have a great time and wonderful food and beverage then the Hickory House in Parker is where you want to be."

Del Frisco's Grille

★★★☆☆ 3 (434) • $$

"We had a lunch here for a company event. It was such a great experience. I had the fillet, the wedge salad, and the Brulé cheesecake. All were absolutely fabulous. Great location too!"

The Butchery- Steaks, Chops & Seafood

★★★★☆ 4 (415) • $$$

"I had no idea this restaurant was in Arvada! It is very romantic and the service was great. The Husbeast got the salmon which came with an amazing bourbon sauce. I had the scallops. They were cooked well but I would have liked maybe a lemon garlic butter sauce over them? We also had the crab and artichoke dip. We did feel like the artichoke really took over the flavor. Crab and artichoke are two strong flavors to put together. Also, it came out a bit cold? I think it would be awesome if it came in like a mini skillet, still sizzling, less artichoke. My au gratin potatoes were delicious! I liked that it came in its own remachan, like a special little potato dish for me!Pro-tip: recommend a reservation but there appeared to be a decent amount of bar seating too! There is a nice big parking lot so easy parking."

Manning's Steaks and Spirits

★★★★☆ 4.2 (393) • $$

"Brought brother from out of town here, with the expectation Manning's would deliver a fantastic meal. They Delivered. FIRST THINGS FIRST: even though it will cap your meal as a dessert, whatever you do, save room for dessert and get the SKILLET COOKIE. Toolhouse hot fresh choc chip cookie in a 6" skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and a caramel drizzle. You Need This In Your Life! Do yourself a favor and save room to cap off your meal with this!Brother got the Bechamel Steak Sandwich and said it was fantastic.My go to here? Bechamel Mac N Cheese, WITH the addition of their Mushroom Gruyere Sayce poured over the top. If you want mac b cheese taken to a completely different dimension, get the Mushroom Gruyere Sauce ($5), and mix it in. It'll change the way you look at M&C...guaranteed.Of course, we saved room for the aforementioned Skillet Cookie. No joke, it takes you mentally to a food Happy Place you may have not known existed. We sat at the bar, as tables were a 45 min wait at 7p on Fri night. Service was a shade slower than preferred, but staff was cordial & professional. Manning's, thank you for making this a dynamite meal for my visiting brother. Food was stellar once again."

J. Alexander's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (467) • $$

"I went with some coworkers for dinner. The carrot cake for dessert was so moist and delicious. It was my favorite part."

Texas Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.6 (259) • $$

"I took advantage of the advance waitlist available online. When we arrived, we scarcely waited 2 minutes for our table. The service was prompt and friendly. They provided a kids menu without having to request one. I ordered the prime rib medium rare with raw horseradish and a loaded potato. It was cooked to temp and seasoned well. The piece I had was rightly marbled with enough but not too much fat. My daughter ordered the sirloin and enjoyed almost the entire thing. Texas Roadhouse is not the fanciest steakhouse in town, but I almost always get exactly what I am expecting at a relatively reasonable price as far as steakhouses go."

Luke's, A Steak Place

★★★★☆ 3.6 (241) • $$$

"This is a great neighborhood steakhouse! We came in with no reservation, got sat right away. We shared a 10oz filet, Brussels sprouts, French onion soup, Caesar salad, and baked potato. Both of us were full and happy. The service was awesome, we didn't have to wait for anything. The manager checked on us to make sure we were happy with the food quality. Perfect date night spot, we will definitely be back!"

Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Denver Tech Center

★★★★☆ 3.6 (57)

"Another great experience at Rodizio's at DTC!We celebrated my birthday and was able to use a BOGO as part of their loyalty program and have a wonderful lunch. It was their bacon celebration with candied bacon on the hot bar and many items wrapped with bacon.As usual, had an attentive server and incredibly tasting grilled items.The salad bar is fully stocked as well.Seems to be well managed establishment and has a welcoming feel."

Timberline Steaks & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 • $$

"Food at the airport is always a 50-50 shot in the dark. I have to say this time the shot in the dark turned out really good. Timberline had great service good food and I was able to watch a game while I waited for my flight. I think no, I know, these were the best chicken wings I have ever had in an airport matched with an ice cold beer and people that before my beer was empty were asking if I would like to have another one.What can you really ask for in an airport. Food that superseded expectations? Beer that has ice cold.? people that are warm and friendly?Definitely a spot I will hit as I pass through the Denver airport again.Thank you to everyone at the Timebrline Steaks and Grille"

PrimoHoagies

★★★★☆ 3.6 (52)

"YUM! PrimoHoagies is 12/10. I tried a couple different subs and they were all delicious in different ways !! Truly so many sandwiches to choose from it was hard to decide. There isn't much room to sit inside the store so would recommend take out. Staff was nice and answered all my questions."

West 29th Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (299) • $$

"This was a special first Valentine's Day with my partner because he decided to take me to West 29th--one of his favorite restaurants. Overall, it was a fun experience and lovely $100 per couple menu. Service was weird, though. Called to say we'd be a little late. On the first attempt, I got the annoying dial-up modem noise. On the second attempt, someone picked up then hung up on me. On the third attempt, the host who picked up the phone was curt and borderline rude. When I mentioned this to my partner, he said he's never been impressed by their customer service. Disappointing, but that made me more excited for the food, which turned out to be fabulous. I had the Beet Ravioli, NY Strip, and Valentine Cake. All were beautifully presented and delicious, paired perfectly with their Malbec. Would get any of those dishes again, and I'd actually love to come back and try more items on their regular menu... especially the Gorgonzola Stroganoff!"

Columbine Steak House & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4 (391) • $$

"Their food is delicious and always offers a fresh dose of nostalgia. Service is timely and friendly.Has a very relaxed atmosphere and customers are nice as well."

Steakhouse 10

★★★★☆ 4.4 (537) • $$$

Bison American Cuisine

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"My mother and I have gone twice now and enjoyed both visits very much. They are newly opened and deserve all the publicity and rave reviews they can get! Food was very good, good drinks, wonderful service and they care about each customer having a great experience. Not the cheapest place in Aurora, but excellent location (I-225 and Alameda, in the old Mimi's Cafe), very well decorated and comfortable. Great place for a very nice dinner! We'll definitely go back soon!"

Ted's Montana Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (362) • $$

"Just wanted to give a shout out to Ted's for a great meal on their outdoor patio. Service was above and beyond-The waiter talked me into the new best burger on the menu-the delicious smash burger. Highly recommend! We also had a Buffalo steak, cooked med well and it tasted awesome! First time having buffalo, it was very good!Finally after another good recommendation from the waiter, we shared a giant sized apple crisp for dessert. Good stuff all around. I can recommend Ted's patio-ask for Tim!"

Law’s Chophouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (72)

"You want fancy atmosphere? You want fancy steak? You want those fancy sides that need to be ordered separately? Well, Law's Chophouse has all those!Seriously, though, this place was fantastic. The mood was perfect for celebrating what we have all done by the end of the year and ready to ring in the new year in style. The steaks ordered came out as expected; as rare as you can get it. Seriously, I now understand "buttery" when it comes to steak. Just delicious.However, the place had some struggles with even getting our meals out to us. Over an hour since we ordered our food and we burned through a bottle of wine. Luckily, our waiter Nick came to the rescue to expedite the situation. Even gave us another bottle on the house.And that's where I now understand "buttery" when it comes to wine now. Props to Nick, we will return again just because of him"

LongHorn Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (151) • $$

"Great lunch menu with options for under $10. I had the longhorn tea which is like a Long Island iced tea for only $9.95. Nice price! Bread and butter is served with meal without additional fee. If you are looking for a nice atmosphere, cool air conditioning on a hot summer day this is the place! Relaxing to sit at a table and order instead of standing in line to order off of a wall menu. Great service! Longhorn burger with fries and loaded potato soup, yum!"

Hideaway Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.5 (439) • $$$

"Marta our server was incredibly kind & polite, very professional! 10/10 best espresso martini I've ever had will absolutely be back for the great food & service, and that martini!"

Twin Forks Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (226) • $$

"Wonderful! I must stop! Friendly service. Good food!Had duck wings with their tavern sauce. Oh my. So so so good! Had a batter on them with a wonderful crunch! Prime rib special. 32 oz medium rare only with an au jus that was amazing. A pound baked potato and perfectly cooked green beans. Desert was amazing. A port sampler. 10,20,30,40 year with a rich chocolate cake accompanied by Gorgonzola and walnuts. Turned into a masterful combination! What a delight. We shared the prime rib. I thought she said 18 oz. Not 32 oz. Oh well no regrets. Usually I do not order prime rib out because I have not found anywhere that is as good as mine. This is the exception. The horse radish sauce was perfect."
