Doogan’s of Aurora

Not going back-​ever. We opted for the special of the day which was a chicken Philly sandwich. Wow, sounds good. Both of us opted for it. Yummy! Very good. Guess what the cost of 2 of those «specials» were? $ 30…yes each chicken sandwich with a side of fries was $ 15… dollars each! We could have gotten a rib dinner for $ 13.99 or steak fajitas for $ 15.99. A special of chicken, cheese, mushrooms and onions isn’t fucking worth $ 15…not now not ever. We talked with the manager to tell him our thoughts and he claimed he had a wrap with crabmeat and something for $ 34 but he couldn’t understand why we were upset. Oh wait, he did toss (yes toss us) a $ 5 coupon for a future visit. Hey douchebag, we won’t be back. Keep it and shove it up your ass because I feel like I just got raped.

The Aurora location has a boring bar atmosphere. They have a lot of big screen TV’s all around the interior, but none with sound, and the staff keeps changing the satellite radio to different stations. The menu has been pared down quite a bit, which would lead you to think that the limited number of items would be less challenging for the kitchen staff, but that’s not the case. My husband’s burger was under cooked, and the chicken on my salad was over done. Our server seemed uninterested, and we had to ask twice for extra napkins and ketchup. The women’s room wasn’t very clean.
All in all, this was an average, not going to be back place.

Been coming here for close to a decade and it has not failed but to be a favorite. Impressively wide variety in the menu, but I find my self getting the same meal each time, the chicken wings. Absolutely unbeatable. Large, tender and flavorful. Easily one of the best wing you can find in the entire area.

I’ve been stopping here for years. It seems like things have slipped a bit. The menu is now primarily sandwiches with a decent selection. The variety of appetizers and other entrees is no longer there. Decent bar, good selection of beers. Wine list limited. Service remains good

Don’t let these 4 – 5 star ratings fool you (or the pics which are outdated). Most of them are from the people who are trapped in the Aurora bubble or friends of ppl who work here.
Doogans has gone downhill over the past 10 years. This used to be one if my favorite local spots when I was in HS. They used to have hands down the best burgers, hand cut fries, French onion soup, etc. Now you can expect below average bar food.
Stopped in for a bite after not dining here for almost 6 years. Chicken tasted like it had been warmed up and had a bad smell to it. Hand cut fries are gone. My buddy had a taco salad which consisted of crunched up Doritos and microwaved taco meat.
Looks like they still have good beer sections but unless you want a HS reunion every time you stop in, I would avoid this place. Staff is friendly tho.
Better off going to Mad Jacks just right down the road if you want some top notch food! It’s a shame I don’t know what happened to this place (change in ownership??) I might of just ordered the wrong thing my last time stopping in but coming back is not high up on my list.

My wife and I have been coming here for about 7 years we used to really enjoy this place but it seems to have gone downhill somewhat the staff has never been overly friendly everyone from the hostess not even greeting you to say hello to unfriendly servers the food is average at best not to be negative but we just had a very substandard dining experience including a filthy bathroom.

The food here it really, really good. I love the chicken quesadillas, and the sweet potato fries are awesome. Why only 3 stars? They service is very, very slow, and this place is expensive. Yes, it is in Aurora where there aren’t that many options, and this area has a lot of married couples that make a lot of money. But I am a single person making a decent single persons living, and I think paying $ 14 for a chicken quesadilla is a little much. Still, I don’t mind coming here and paying a little extra every once in awhile because, like I said, the options in the area are limited and the food is good.

I’d recommend this to friends.
Happy hour prices are decent. $ 2 for a shot.
The wings are OK, they aren’t a reason to show up, but they weren’t horrible.
I have eaten several burgers/​sandwiches here, and have never been disappointed.
The past few times have had a bit more of a wait for the food than I’d like. The waiter was super-​cool about it, but it was still a bit unexpectedly annoying.

Just horrible food didn’t look appetizing at all presentation of the food sloppy I guess if I needed a drink that’s the place to go but to call your self a restaurant not for me.

Came here for a company event and a prix fixe menu.
Appetizers consisted of spinach/​artichoke dip, breaded zucchini and buffalo wings. None of which tasted house-​made.
I opted for fish and chips. The fries were okay but the fish was not crispy enough. The staff was accomdating and the open bar was good as we were able to request additional beers and liquors from the front bar.

Always sit at the bar and service is always consistent. Hurricane (Alex) takes care of me and friends all the time even with fulll bar & servers service. Menu has been condensed over the couple of years, but always like the Burgers to order. Great time

The food was good and the place was clean but the service was really slow. I had to wait about 10 minutes just to get a glass of water and my food took about an hour just to finally come. I was almost thinking of just going to Wendy’s which is right by this place and cheaper. There was only 1 waitress there and I was in a group of about 30 people. They had TVs on the wall but no captions were showing so you don’t know what they’re saying on the TV. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Needing some food after a long day of shopping, we stopped here on our way back from the Aurora Outlets. I had read the reviews so wasn’t expecting anything awesome and pretty much that’s what we got… just average bar food.
We started off with an order of boneless chicken wings (medium heat). They tasted like they had been heated up from a previously frozen status (like you’d get in the freezer section of your local grocer). Surprisingly enough, I really liked them, although I also really like the freezer ones that I heat up at home too…(Oh shoot that should be my little secret… hehe). Anyway, on to the main meal.
My boyfriend ordered the Whatcha Want Burger (pick any 3 toppings, he chose cheese and onion straws). He ordered it medium and said that it was cooked right and tasted okay, but believes it was also previously frozen.
I had the Pretzel Club (smoked turkey, ham, bacon, honey dijon and Swiss &
American cheeses on a pretzel bun). Again, not to repeat myself over and over, but I didn’t find this sandwich anything to be excited about. It was okay.
The service was the best part of the place. We sat at a booth in the bar area. It wasn’t really busy when we were there, and the bartender was also the server. He was quick to attend to us and friendly.
So in the end, not horrible, but not great. If in the neighborhood again will definitely try to find something else, but if this is the only place open I’d go again.

Average bar food. Good fries. Below average service. This place is kind of a last resort when you need something relatively quick and kid friendly (read: mac n cheese and burgers). The décor needs serious updating. Seems a little run down.

Very good service. The food was average and the place could use a little updating. The beer selection was good. If they updated the place and focused on the quality of the food I bet they could really do something with the restaurant.

Was looking for a bite to eat within walking distance from the hotel we were staying at.
Good service, the pretzel club sandwich was terrific, and the beer prices were reasonable.

Service was very friendly, but the whole place was a little run-​down & dingy. Food was only okay. We ordered a pizza & some wings. Nothing I would go around recommending, or go back for. Saw a «shot of the month» special that sounded pretty good so we stopped at the bar on our way out to try. Really just tasted like an even sweeter (too sweet) malibu. Oh well

Wings above average. The haddock is the real deal. I haven’t been served such an authentic filet since vendors just started call fish whatever they wanted.

This place served our very large party not only quickly, but accurately. The food was fantastic. Burgers are top-​notch, and the apps are great as well. Every person was pleased!

Went with friend and suprise! Summer Shandy on tap and on special!!!
Had a sloppy runny burger with bacon and a huge tomato slice that really hit the spot! ff were hot and fresh~!! She had a well prepaired house salad and NE style Clam Chowder. VERY nice! Server was attentive so overall a great night!
