A true cafe experience with homestyle cooking that is sure to satisfy. Be sure to save room fit pie. It's the best.

Great Food, Great People, Great Atmosphere!!! Only time this place disappoints is when it's closed!!!

Wow!!! The best omelette I've ever had in my life! No joke. I am actually so impressed that I'm writing this review in the restaurant, as we are eating. If you're in the area, don't miss out. Everything was delicious Service was great as well. It's also has a great ambiance, low key music, and people are not too loud. read more

On our return road trip from Oregon to our home in Texas and decided to try Raths Cafe in Aurora and we were glad we did. Good delicious old style home cooking that came with conversations with the locals. Everyone at the Cafe was great and it was nice to get such great service from the staff. Do yourselves a favor and take the short 3 mile detour off of I80 into Aurora and visit this quaint little town cafe you won't be disappointed so much better than the franchise restaurants that you find along the interstate highways. read more

Fabulous!!!!! Will be back! Atmosphere was fun. Checked tableclothes, super fun salt and peppers shakers, chalkboard dessert menus. Even the restroom had fun things to read and look at on the walls. Loved the vibe. Husband thought it was too loud and busy. He would like to be in permanent quarantine I think. Not many places even attempt the Monte Cristo sandwich and when I saw it on the menu I had to! Love love love a good Monte Cristo! It did not disappoint! Fantastic! Would have liked the raspberry sauce to be a little more fruit and not so gel but it had an amazing flavor so was not too much distraction from the whole picture. The homemade broccoli salad was delish. Finished off my meal with a German Chocolate cake whirl. Wow! Husband got the Poor Man steak (- onion) and a salad and cottage cheese. He was already crabby cause I drug him out of the house to go to the vets office with the dog and a large bill.... so when the salad came with chopped cucumbers on it the grimacing from across the table was almost more than I could take. No worries the flavor of the gravy which he thought was homemade was enough to win him over. And a homemade butterfinger whirl turned even a grumpy farmer into a fan. Koi read more

I went to Aurora today to check out a new bookstore and decided to grab a bite to eat. What a great experience Rath's was! Such kind people and the food was so great! I would make a side trip there any day. Great Hot Beef Sandwich, a dish I haven't had in years and was so happy with the result! read more

I was traveling to the West coast to visit family and just happened to find this place. A wonderful little cafe full of friendly people. Breakfast was outstanding, coffee was darn good too. Do yourself a favor and bypass chain restaurants and stop in for a meal. Better food, better memories. read more

Delicious food in this cute little diner. I recommend the bbq chicken and garlic mashed potatoes! Friendly staff, however no one was wearing masks and people are not seated with social distancing in mind- it was pretty crowded actually and we felt a little uncomfortable in this COVID time. read more

Down home cooking. Generous portions and small town feel. Have stopped for lunch here several times.

In town from the east coast to visit family. Was looking for a place to eat while they were at work. Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a go. The atmosphere was cute with a small town cafe feel to it. The tables are huge enough to accommodate larger families (6 to 8 people), but a bit too large to feel comfortable while dining solo. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I went with the days special; prime rib sandwich, fries, and slaw. The food took a while to come out, but understandably so considering how busy it was. My only complaint would be the service. The waitress took my order, which included the special, a coffee and an ice water. She's brought my coffee (no water) and didn't return until my food was ready. By then I had already finished my cup of coffee and had been sitting there in a huge booth twiddling my thumbs for what seemed like an eternity. When she finally delivered my food, she asked if I needed anything else. I asked for a refill on my coffee and a water. Off she went. When I looked up, she was taking orders and clearing tables. Still, no coffee or water to be had. As she was passing by, I asked her once more for a coffee and a water. By this time the place had pretty much emptied (I was one of 3 tables left). She brought my refill and water, then went ghost once again. I finished my meal and waited for the check, which never came. Unable to wait any longer, I went up to the register and told the lady what I had, paid, and left. All in all, I give the food 5 stars, the atmosphere 4 stars, and the service a low 3 (only because she was nice). Hoping the service I experienced was due to shortage of staff, I'm giving the restaurant 4 stars. read more
