Funsized Traveler 3 years ago, my husband and I had a bad experience with Nancys. So we thought we would give them a try. We are glad we did! Friendly customer service, big meun, and delicious food. Our waitress Kym, was great and attentive. We even forgot our leftovers and the waiter, ran it out to us. Great customer service! We will definitely be back and highly recommend them.

Kris M. We were in the area early morning and was the first customers. The breakfast burritos with fresh carrot n orange juice hits the spot. I’d come back again to try the other items. The salsa and chips bar was good to see as those are rare these days.

Stephen Conrad I stopped by The Yeti Tavern and was honestly really impressed. First off, the place had a super chill atmosphere — the inside was cool and relaxing, which felt amazing after being out in the heat. It’s got a fun, outpost-style theme that gives it a unique vibe you don’t see often in an ice cream shop. I tried the green tea ice cream and it was incredible — super smooth, flavorful, and not too sweet. Definitely one of the best versions of green tea ice cream I’ve ever had. The woman working behind the counter was so kind and friendly, and she made the whole experience even more enjoyable. You can tell the staff here actually care about the customers. Upstairs, they even have some arcade machines which added an extra level of fun — perfect if you want to hang out a bit longer or bring friends. Even with all that, the place wasn’t crowded at all. I was in and out in under three minutes, which made it super convenient. Quick service, great quality, and a relaxing atmosphere — can’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be coming back. This spot is a hidden gem in Auburn!

Caitlin Garrison From the moment I walked through the door of The Hillmont, I was impressed. This stylish new American restaurant will now be my go-to for everything from date nights to casual happy hours. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: modern yet warm, trendy without being pretentious. What I loved: - Top-notch service – Staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. Our server made excellent recommendations and checked in just enough to feel cared for. - Creatively delicious food & drinks – Every dish I tried felt thoughtfully crafted and bursting with flavor. The cocktails were incredible, and each small plate had us guessing what delightful combination would come next. - Prime downtown location – Situated right across from the heart of downtown Auburn, its a perfect spot to grab a drink and then explore downtown. Whether youre a local looking for a dependable night out or a visitor ready to sample quality cuisine in a charming setting, The Hillmont hits every mark. Highly recommended—can’t wait to go back!

Bradley Nakaji Luck was shining on me today. The wife and I were traveling through Auburn and decided to stop for lunch in Old Town Auburn. Just as I was turning to leave, a car backed out of a street parking spot. I didnt look a gift horse in the mouth and immediately parked. I asked the wife where she wanted to go and she said "why not here"? I looked up and saw the front window of Edelweiss restaurant. Interior was interesting as it tried to be rustic Bavarian. Food was fantastic. Wife ordered a BLT with fries and I ordered an omelette. The BLT came out exactly as the wife ordered. The omelette and hash browns covered the plate. Whole the egg part of the omelette was dry although the interior ingredients were well prepared. Overall a very good breakfast/lunch restaurant.

MEE Ryder-Robb This is a really nice restaurant at the Holiday Inn in Auburn. A big plus are the 2 charging stations in the parking lot. Of course its great for travelers but locals enjoy this restaurant as well. We had the delicious Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and ricotta cheese with a mushroom sauce, and the Chicken Sambocca which is a chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto with a fettuccine with a light sauce on the side. Excellent service always, fabulous desserts there as well.

Cisco Kidd Wonder people, setting and food. Best burger I have had in a very long time.

Let’s Go! Crew Always our-go-to while visiting Auburn, California. Not much has changed over the years. The folks that own Sum’s Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant have always been accommodating, friendly and served fresh food. Watching the chef’s prepare our selected dinner and cook it over the giant Mongolian barbecue stone is always a sight to see. The atmosphere really hasn’t changed over the years, still cozy and down to earth. We couldn’t give a five for the food because it seemed like the vegetables were a little sparse this time. Overall, the experience was a five because during our visit we had the opportunity to watch the The Canyons Endurance Run by UTMB!!! So if you come eat at Sum’s Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant, you never know what you’re gonna find happening in Auburn. It’s a great little town with huge personality! Places like Sum’s Mongolian barbecue restaurant is what makes Auburn such a great place to visit!!

Tammy Anderson Wonderful Italian restaurant in the heart of Auburn. Great food and service. Atmosphere is welcoming, clean and comfortable. Good place for date night, family meals and large groups. Parking is easily found behind the building or on the street. We had a group of 6 and everyone enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend the Beet Salad, Lasagna and Fungi Raviolis!

K A We arrived for an early dinner and were seated as soon as we walked in. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was filling. And the dessert was presented in such a cute way.

The Raven Warren Its freaking In and Out, need I say more? Always consistent quality and service. I know when I go here. Not only will my food be made great and how I asked, but the store will be clean and staff are friendly as heck. I always wonder where they find the staff that work there cuz they are cookie cutter awesome at times. A single animal protein style with fries and a neo shake is my go to order! So freaking good

Niko OHara Reasonable pricing, no strings on the pins, 20+ lanes. The food is actually really good - we got pizza. And they have a Venom pinball machine! Plus a small arcade with darts, basketball, and more.
