Restaurants near Auburn

“My FAV”

“Always love Gambino's, and the Auburn location was a nice treat after a long work day in the area. Thanks for a great meal and we appreciate your hospitality! Will definitely come back when we are in town again.”

“If you haven't tried it you are missing out! I am so addicted to their fruit bowls! They are amazing!! Extremely friendly, clean and relaxing environment! Must try!”

“I walked into Circle Coffee for the first time ( all bright eyed and not decaffeinated, and I totally forgot to ask for my coffee decaf ( or what my sister calls sad coffee). By the time I realized, they’d already made my coffee and I was walking out the door— but instead of giving me the “well that’s on you” look, they smiled, told me to gift the original to a coworker ( who now thinks I’m the nicest person alive) and made me a fresh decaf for free. Heroes are baristas apparently. The shop itself is a whole vibe — calm, great lighting and welcoming atmosphere—enough ambiance to trick me into thinking I’m the kind of person who journals daily or could write a novel. Also, do NOT sleep on the strawberry goat cheese danish. It’s seriously delicious. I took one bite and considered writing it into my will. Life changing and I’m probably emotionally attached to it now. This place has great vibes, great people, and even better coffee and pastries. Highly recommend.”

“I love this restaurant. Great Indian food. Tikka Massala is my favorite.”

“This is the best place in Topeka.”

“We love the food at Indian Bistro, the spices are spot on and each dish is unique and delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is well run and clean. My kids love it too!”

“Are at the flying monkey tavern at the pennant. Have the chips and queso and a double bacon me crazy burger. Was a really good burger fries were crispy. The chips and queso was excellent as well. The whole menu looked great and was hard to choose what to get for my meal.”

“I’ve only visited once so far, and they really impressed me! We ended up getting our cookies sooner than expected and you could even see how the cookies are made in the back.”

“We got the smothered chicken special and the oxtail special, with greens, mac n cheese, and gumbo. Wow, was it all so good! The rice was the bomb and both meats were spoon-tender. Friendly folks, great prices, fantastic food!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5! Love this place. The ice cream never disappoints and ALL lactose free! Yay!”

“Food is some of the best in the area. Craft beer was good. Wish they had a stout though.”

“This was our second girls brunch at Salut. Both times the food and drinks were great! Love the small-ish atmosphere and kind wait staff. Allison M was our server this time. She was 100% on top of everything - very attentive, kind, funny, and engaging. The only thing that made the experience not so enjoyable was the table behind us. There were 3 women and a man at that table. The man kept staring at our friends’ 3 year old granddaughter the whole time we were there. He literally had to turn his upper body to see her. We couldn’t figure out if he thought we shouldn’t have a child there or if he was just being nosey. She was well-behaved and did not cause any disruptions at all. Luckily, Allison made up for it in several ways by bringing special drinks and food for the granddaughter. We will for sure be back! And to the rude man that kept staring, you might want to realize that you only made YOU look bad, not that sweet little girl.”

“Wow... 'da WINGS! are amazing!”

“Best sushi in town. Local business. The owners and staff are great. My wife and daughter love the hibachi. Extra points for an actual sake menu.”

“Everyone I bring here loves it, and I've been here about 7 times myself. With the dwindling selection of good food joints in this town, I think this place solid choice.”

“Wonderful service, fantastic food, generous portion sizes. Best biscuits I’ve had in Kansas (I’m from the south) and almost requested another batch to take home. It felt like an insult to not finish all my food! But like I said, the portion sizes are VERY generous, especially for the price. The servers/hostess are so so kind! I so impressed by the customer service.”

“Their decorations for holidays are so fun! Great atmosphere and great food!”

“Wonderful place for coffee & other drinks. However, they give you absolutely no time to order your drinks then when you want to look at the menu they just stand there impatiently while you choose something to drink.”

“I was grateful to the staff who accommodated a family member with allergies. I asked the person who made the shrimp sandwich to change gloves due to a seafood allergy and the potential of cross contamination. To my surprise, not only did he change them but all the employees changed their gloves to keep him safe. I never like to have special requests but I was so thankful for their kindness and compassion. Plus the meal was great! Thanks Jason’s Deli!”

“Skylar is the best! Go Skylar!”

“A Sanctuary of Warmth and Community – Café Quetzal There are places in the world that remind you what it means to belong. Café Quetzal is one of them. Step inside, and the chaos of the outside world fades into the background—replaced by the rich aroma of fresh coffee, the hum of friendly conversation, and the warmth of a space built on inclusivity and connection. The first thing you notice is the sense of welcome. A pride flag waves gently in the window, a symbol of the café’s unwavering commitment to community, acceptance, and love. It’s a space where all are embraced, where laughter spills across tables, and where a simple cup of coffee feels like an act of kindness. Outside, the world is unpredictable—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes absurd, like the shadow of a dinosaur stretching across the pavement. But inside, there is sanctuary. Here, you are met with smiling faces, vibrant art, and the kind of small but significant comforts that make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of reflection, deep conversation, or just a really good cup of coffee, Café Quetzal delivers on every level. It’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a refuge. A place where warmth, love, and hope are always on the menu.”

“as i answered the door one of my cats got outside, and the delivery guy went to get his flashlight to help look. i feel bad that i didn’t tip more, so this is the best i can do”

“I came in from out of state to buy a truck and was recommended I come here. The reuben and Cooks club were amazing. Id have taken a picture but we ate it too quick😋”

“good food and a great on tap selection, but plenty of room for improvement with service. have your bartender be a bartender, not a combination hostess waitress bartender. been sitting at the bar with an empty pint last for 10 minutes now and the bartender keeps walking by me...”

“Tiramisu was the best Pizza is amazing Original crust is made with love”

“Great food, coffee, and service!”

“Food and drinks are always good.”

“Get the pho. The best in a 100-mile radius!”

“I tried the shop for the first time today. I had forgotten my hearing aides & had to read lips. Their card was down & because I was out of town, they went to a alternate system & really accommodated me well. The Bread & cookies were just really good. The staff was friendly & professional & treated me very well. I was pleased & will go back.”
