    Entering  a packed parking lot I expected this place to be full for seating , but I was pleasantly surprised. They have allot of tables & booths and good lighting . Good date night spot considering it is open 24 hours. The menu is basic  diner food you would look for having . Place is very clean and the waitresses greet you kindly when you enter . Noticing alot of regulars here as they greet some by name . Location is right next to the highway and factories all around here . For us we wanted breakfast at 11am . I had the bacon and eggs with home fries and toast . Hubby had poached eggs with corn beef hash. Waiting only a mere 5 minutes breakfast was served.  Appearance wise the food looked really good . My home fries were a little on the larger  side which was ok ,they just needed to cook longer . Bacon was thick and cooked well. Hubby loved his hash and he complains about his hash alot at other diners . His poached eggs were perfectly made he says.  The waitress checked on a several times which I like and refilled our waters without asking . I will come back again

    "Consistently Average"
    My wife likes going to Aurora for breakfast because it's always consistent. You know you'll get a decent breakfast there. It's not the best, but certainly not the worst. The restaurant is always clean and the owner and staff are friendly.
    My wife is a creature of habit and loves to get an omelet filled with sausage, tomato, and cheese and served with rye toast and crispy home fries. I had breakfast from the specials menu. The philly steak omelet with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cheese with rye toast and home fries. It wasn't great, but it was good.
    I wouldn't recommend Aurora as if it was on my favorites list. But if someone said they were going there, I wouldn't deter them either.

    Now that this restaurant is under new management I believe I need to update my view of it.  I went here three times since the changeover and I have to say it is awful.  The silverware is filthy with food residue no matter what setup they give you.  The tables are filthy.  The lights were mostly off in the daytime.  They didn't give me a spoon for my coffee, and I had to ask for more cream.  They give me minimum packs of cream and 2 packs of sugar.  The food was good, but my toast was under toasted.  I won't be going back.   Left most of the toast on the plate.

    Its not what it useto be under the old management pair of guys that ran it.
    Ate here daily under them. Not so much now.

    Food is hit or miss depending on whos cooking.  
    Silver ware is usually dirty have to check whenever its given to you.
    For lunches
    Soups are always the same 2 never change  
    If you order pasta it will be undercooked.
    Grilled items will be seasoned to death.
    They dont understand what well done french or homefries are.
    Breakfast
    If you order coffee or tea you have to reminde some waitstaff for a spoon. If you want extra milk or cream have to ask a for it cause they only give 2/3 creamers or a splash of milk.

    Weight staff changes frequently so you never know if the server that actually got your order right will be there the next visit.
