“First time, we had the Burrata app, then the Honey Badger and Foggy Mushroom pizzas. They were all amazing, a friend of ours suggested adding sausage to the mushroom pizza, will def try that next time! We went on a Friday night, there was a line out the door. The hostess took our name and said it would be about 25 minute wait, but it was only 15. Mike, our server, was very friendly and took great care of us, making sure that our 2 year grandson that was with us was well taken care of. Glasses never went empty before another beer was offered, and the food came out quickly. Highly recommended!”
“My husband and I enjoy Indian food and we’re happy to discover India Oven. Our waiter was very helpful in assisting us with selections from the menu. We were pleasantly surprised by the presentation and the variety of tastes.”
“We hosted our son and future daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner at Auburn Alehouse, and it was absolutely phenomenal. We feel so blessed that this special evening took place there. Lisa Ford, the co-owner, went above and beyond in every possible way. She designed a menu within our budget, created a customized bar menu, and she and her amazing team decorated, cooked, served, and made the patio feel warm, beautiful, and welcoming. They truly handled everything with such care and excellence. We were able to play our own customized Spotify playlist on the back patio for a fun Yacht Rock Friday night feeling, and their IT/AV support, Randy, helped us play a personalized video of the couple on the patio TV throughout the evening. It made the night feel even more personal and special. The food was truly the chef’s kiss, the beer by Brian Ford, co-owner and brewmaster, was incredible, and the service was outstanding. Trista and the wait staff were fun, attentive, and made our guests feel so well taken care of. One of the best parts of the evening was seeing our son and daughter-in-love so happy and surrounded by incredible family and friends who enjoyed honoring and celebrating them. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the food, service, atmosphere, and overall experience were. Auburn Alehouse is family-owned, community-forward, and an incredible craft brewpub. It is a wonderful place for private events, date nights, gatherings, celebrations, or simply a great meal with great beer. If you are in Auburn, driving from Reno to the Bay Area, or heading up the mountain, stop here. They are also a fantastic choice for private events and can work with your budget. They even host private events at their Annex across the street. We are so grateful we chose Auburn Alehouse for such an important family celebration. Highly recommend! We will be back over & over & over! Huge mahalo Lisa & Brian Ford - your place is FANTASTIC!”
“Ordered for takeout and had a great experience. The service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The sashimi was fresh, flavorful, and high quality. The soft-shell crab was also fresh and delicious. Overall, a very enjoyable meal, and I would definitely order again.”

“El Tapatio restaurant in Auburn showcases the very best of Mexican food. I've tried many restaurants and taquerias in northern and southern California, and El Tapatio outshines them all. Their menu is large and offers everything from typical dishes like enchiladas, tacos, and carne asada to more exotic ones like pollo a la crema or aguachiles. This food is made with love.”

“Oh my gosh we have only been there one time before since they moved from downtown. We tried the Thai pizza tonight and it was SOO good!! I hardly ever write reviews but I just had to. Our waitress was amazing definitely will be back for the Thai pizza alone! The smoothie hard seltzer I tried was also so yummy and different too! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Wow! What a gem. I cannot bellieve this was our first time there, but now it wont be the last. I had the Monte Cristo with Sweet Potato Fries. My husband had The Mess. And brother-in-law had a fabulous specialty with a breaded bacon, eggs, taties & home-made biscuit. I can say everything was top notch, from the service to meeting the owner who came and introduced himself. I cant wait to return and try something else... You have to go”
“We moved to Colfax in December of 2023 and I have been wanting to try this place. Today is the 2nd time I ordered food via DoorDash. The first time I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and this time I ordered the Chicken Makhani. Both times I ordered the plain naan and the garlic naan. I have not had a lot of Indian food in the past, but this was 10/10 delicious!!!! So much better than I expected. Even the plain rice was so good! It arrived hot, and so fresh. I will be a regular customer now.”
“Awful Annie’s has an amazing breakfast menu! I am gluten free & order from their gluten free menu which is so good!! I am sensitive to cross contamination & they take extra precautions to assure that it’s safe! The service is also absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!”
“First time in earlier this week. I came in with a hankering for pastrami but their Italian Melt was too tempting to walk away without! I loved it! Salami, Capocola, Prosciutto, Mortadella, Housemade Marinara, Melted Provolone ( I opted for pepper jack), Onions and Pepperoncinis!!!! I'll be back for the pastrami though too. Count on it!😊”
“fresh very delicious and perfectly cooked meat i tried pulled pork, brisket, and burnt ends very delicious thanks you”

“Great place good prices. To the person saying I wish door dash would let u order here. Are you dense, you've been here right you expect a driver to wait the 15 minutes in line, 5 minutes at the grill not to mention the drive time gas and messy hands and you'd tip what like 3 dollars like every other cheapskate in this town. 3 dollar tips comes out to about 12 dollars an hour btw so if you tipped the same amount on here you'd make about 7 dollars in an hour. It just wouldn't work unless you wanted to spend 40$”

“We have been eating at this restaurant for many many years before they move to old town. Love them and LOVE the wonderful fresh made food. Truly quality and lovely people. Large serving and fresh fruit and the best bread. We are local to Auburn and they have served 4 generations of our family with the best!!!”
“I hosted my Daughter's 11th birthday party here and it was a hit! the party room is the best in town! I loved it because it's in the back separate from public with plenty of tables and chairs, a HUGE TV, and even a private arcade area! The staff was absolutely incredible and attentive! The salad bar was fresh, the pizza was delicious and I highly recommend it for a party or get together! Thank you Pizza factory Auburn for an incredible experience!!”

“Recently had a friend’s birthday dinner at Hanami. The food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Despite a packed restaurant, our party received outstanding service. I highly recommend!”
“Love their wines! Since they’re a small winery the selection changes often and they’re all good. Cindy is very knowledgeable about their wines and the wines all over the region. The outdoor shed is very relaxing and the atmosphere is great for wine tasting/drinking.”

“El Agave just catered my wedding. It was a small gathering, taco bar for 50 people. We picked it up and served it in chafing dishes. ALL of our guests raved over the food. 3 meats and all of the fixings. From the initial communication with Andrea to the food pickup, you guys were amazing!”
“My Tuesday men's group, mostly seniors, played The Ridge yesterday and had a good round. It would have been a great round; however, it's still soggy from the December rains, like all local courses. The cart path only conditions slowed play to about a 5 hour round which is understandable. The course was in very good shape for the damp conditions. The green's were very fast which made things interesting, but fun. a few of our uphill putts went past the hole, stopped, then roll back toward or past the hole.”
“Just had my boys rehearsal dinner at this wonderful location. The banquet room was perfect for the 23 people that were at the dinner. Jennifer, the owner, was very easy to deal with and was very attentive to my family and guest. Erica, the server was super and made the evening flow perfectly. Oh, by the way the food was also very good…wow. Thanks Jennifer for you and your staffs great service. “I will be back””
“For wings not sandwiches. Wings were awesome. Sandwiches are not good, hardly anything on them. We are from Mississippi and sandwiches are great.”

“Walking into the store is the equivalent of entering through the pearly gates. The goodies speak for themselves. The cookie hustlers in front of the grocery store better tell the manufacturer to up their game, they don’t have anything on Crumble!
The staff is always so pleasant and very helpful.”
“Amazing dinner here again! The scallops were probably the best I've ever had. Always love the staff here. Friendly and attentive to every detail. Tonight Shannon was our waiter. We had so much fun chatting with him. Our go-to date night spot!”
“It was my first time coming here and In got the Malibu 🥪 . Im allergic to avocado and they were very charismatic and made sure it was perfect. I wish we had one in Texas! I rate it more than 5 stars if I could!!”

“We held our wedding here, ceremony outside and reception inside and from day one, Kelsey has been an absolute gift to work with. She is on top of everything! I cannot give her enough praise! Quick to respond, to get everything sorted out and set up was a breeze, with all the help from Kelsey. We could not be happier that we chose this venue for our day. The bar, the food, the incredible staff! If ya'll are looking for an affordable place for a smaller event that wont break the bank but still looks like you did, look no further!
I will be recommending them to anyone looking. 10 out of 10 Annex! Ya'll are so special!”
“Best super tacos especially for the price. I asked what they seasoned their meat with and there's no.garlic and just a little onion powder and salt and pepper. That's WHY I got there garlic sadly is off my menu. I'm so happy to have Taco Tree right near my house and the tacos and super nachos are cheaper and soooo much better than their competitor who I won't mention initials T. B. Once you try Taco Tree it'll be hard to go back to the other place.”
“If you are looking for the best sushi in Placer County, this is the spot. They always have more than enough young energetic staff to both seat you and serve you fast. The food (all of it) is amazing. Large portions, fresh fish, awesome noodle dishes and appetizers. Family owned and operated and you will see the owner herself behind the bar 24/7. She is absolutely amazing and thr life blood of this place. Although I am not looking forward to a longer line I am still sharing this absolutely amazing spot.. Come and get it!”
“I asked AI to build me a day trip itinerary from the Bay Area. Said must include a fantastic bakery. My only regret was not coming here as a first stop. Even though it was late in the day, still had a fantastic turkey sammie, slice of carrot cake and sourdough to go. Not even kidding. Probably the best bread I've ever had in my life!!!! Everyone here is sweet and it's an adorable spot to sit outdoors for a nice lunch.”

“Seated right away. Nice quiet table. Comfortable. Very attentive waitress.
We ordered a Caprese salad as an appetizer to split 3 ways. EXCELLENT.
The main courses (pictured) were delish. Big fat prawns & scallops. The mushroom ravioli were plump and cooked just perfect with a delicious red sauce. The 3rd entree was linguini & clams. Just as tasty.
Reason for a 4 instead of 5...? Cocktail availability. The drinks are made with Soju instead of conventional alcohol. Good but lacking the usual flavor profile and not as much to choose from. Plus, with the less desirable drinks the cocktail prices were excessive @ $14 each. My Old Fashioned had a good flavor and I would have enjoyed a 2nd but two drinks were more than my entree so I had to decline. All in all it was a very pleasant evening and I have NO complaints on the food or service.”

“Fast pace, very comfortable and cozy restaurant.
Staff is always on the move.
Loves the service.
The restaurant was nice and clean.
There is no food on the floor and fingerprints on the windows. It was an absolute pleasure for a date lunch.
It was like walking into an episode of cheers.
Your local regulars were at home.
And they made you feel as if you had been coming for years.
The hamburgers are🍔 ♥ fantastic.
If you want a good Breakfast ask for the Mexican skillet with a side of gravy. An a side of Buskits an gravy. You will be disappointed.
The coffee is silky smooth and perfect with out milk or sugar.
Everything is made perfect.
The menu was amazing lot to choose from. I say it was well worth the drive to Auburn for.”
“This has been my go-to spot for pizza since moving to the neighborhood about a year ago. Always reliable and consistent. It's a grab and go place, so I never expected too much as far as atmosphere and customer service goes. But there's been a few upgrades inside the place and it's looking better than ever. Plus, there were some newer friendlier faces working last night who were very helpful. Thank you for the boxes! They really helped with toting our pizzas back home on our bikes.”
“We do DoorDash every Friday and have ordered from Brewster's many times. Never eaten there though. I do understand what people mean when they comment upon the Brewster Burger being just a standard burger and nothing special. It's good, but plain. The Way Out West burger meets that criterial of special. Sooooo good. We order Western or BBQ burgers to try them everywhere we go, and we gotta say this one is the best EVER. I thought I would never order anything different, but ordered the Bacon Avo Blue, and wow. Just WOW!!! That's my new go-to. If my stomach could still take it, I'd try the Fire Alarm burger or the Holy Guacamole. I'm guessing those are fabulous. Southwest BBQ salad is good too, for healthy days. And huge. Is enough for two, and different than salads elsewhere.”
“Best Veggie Omelette ever anywhere. Just hear for a wedding and always look for a local spot. Amazing fresh fruit with my omelette and I asked for Light Butter on my toasted Rye and that is exactly what I got. Would definitely go back, may go on the way out of town in 2 days.”
“Very cool place to watch the game and the food is great. McGuire’s Sports Bar & Grill rocks! 😎”

“PSs…can I tell you a secret? If you’re local or been an area for a while, you’ve heard of this place. And most likely you’ve been to this place. And you know how good it is! But for those that don’t know and haven’t been… This is good! Now this is like an old school Taco Bell. However, what makes it great and worth the visit is that it is exceptionally fresh, fast doesn’t break the bank. It does get crowded… Because it does have a reputation and a very good one for a very good reason. So if you’re traveling through the area, I need some good economical food. That tastes amazing and is fresh, this is what I would recommend. But don’t take my word for it.”

“We found this place during our road trip. It was about a 4-minute detour from our route, but it was absolutely worth it. The coffee is excellent, and they carefully select their beans based on quality. The customer service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. We truly enjoyed our visit.”
“Girl at the desk was really sweet, it was a Sunday in the evening around a quarter till 6. Got a Brown Sugar Boba Milk that she was suggested. It was a really sweet drink though I'd not wanted something super sweet, but I left happy and I would probably come again just for the atmosphere and company. I've been before on other occasions where I got some type of drink and other time where I got a cream puff(highly recommended).”
“I absolutely love this place and I am thrilled that I discovered this little gem. The place is darling, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the people behind the counter are very knowledgeable. It is fabulous to have a “bar” available that doesn’t serve alcohol. I will come back again and again!”
“I just tried this place for the first time, and I was happy I did. Friendly staff, family- owned, and a bacon avocado burger thats one of the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, & reasonable prices especially considering the price of gas (& everything else) right now. Definitely will be going back again soon.”
“This place was so lovely and inviting. The food was mouthwatering good. The service excellent. The atmosphere serene and relaxing. From the second you step into Ai Bao you feel right at home like walking into a friend’s home from the lovely plants to the calming decor. The menu is easy to read and concise. Our server was great and happily answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We were able to adjust the sweetness of our drinks which were made to perfection. The wide array of sauces was a nice touch. The spicy wonton noodle soup was great. The dumplings and bbq pork bao were delicious. Everything was very reasonably priced for the amount of food you are served. Very pleased to stumble upon this gem in Auburn. Can’t wait to tell my friends and return to try more items off the menu.”
“Phenomenal dining experience and atmosphere. Highly recommended.”
