    Balloons Resturant is an Auburn must visit. If you're a steak lover this is your place in town to go. Pictured is the drunken ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. The other dish was a special they offered for the evening. It was a slow roasted prime rib, that was finished on the grill. It was then topped with Cajun shrimp and sauce. Side dishes were green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. Balloons is family owned and ran by the Simmons family. You will often see the family in some sort of capacity still helping out at the business. The waiters John and Jay are top notch, they make you feel welcomed every time, and that you're family to them. Enjoy!!

    Greeted us upon our arrival. We order drinks. Best I have had in a while. They make great drinks. Laura help make a Cosmo. I never had one. Stong but tasty. Laura was also our waitress for the night. They had great service. We never waited for anything. We did not have to wave anyone down. They were right on eveything. Love good sevice. I ordered the rattle snake pasta. Tender pasta,meat, and vegtable. Sauce was delightful. I would highly recommend giving the dish a try. I ordered coconut shrimp. Hot tender shrimp and coating. With a strawberry dipping sauce. It was very good but would of like to of had a hit of heat. Bread was very fresh. I did not care for there dinner sald. I guess I was not in the mood salad. My husband loved it all his drinks. Shrimp cocktail, and very large portion of meat that was cooked just right! Nice small little hideaway. If you were not looking for it, you would not find it with out the GPS! Sits right on the corner of two streets. I would recommend that you make a reservation. Fills up quick and has limited seating. They have booths and tables. We heard someone reserve the bar seating.

    Always reliably excellent steaks here in a legit old school atmosphere. This place has been an Auburn establishment for decades. Don't be put off by the maximum security prison directly across the street -- that is part of the charm. I highly recommend (1) the Manhattans (2) the Drunken Ribeye, which is amazing. You cannot go wrong with the steaks here, or the pork chops. Can't wait for my next visit!

    what they said was a rare steak and I was not correct

    Very disappointed in this establishment. I grew up going here and i remember the food always being amazing regardless of what you ordered. Tonight my wife and I drove 45 minutes to go here for our anniversary dinner, and we were extremely upset with everything. My wife and I both ordered the specials on the menu. She ordered a chicken and shrimp piccata over pasta and i had the steak special. My wifes dish came out and it looked like pasta in water. The chicken looked and tasted like it had been boiled in water and tossed in and there were only 4 shrimp in the dish with about a pound of pasta. The dish was extremely bland and had no essence chicken piccata. if i was to close my eyes i would have no idea thats what it was. Now for the real reason I gave this a 1 star. My steak... I am an avid steak eater and a relatively decent chef at home. I love steak but i needs to be rare. The redder the better, any one who eats steak more than rare should just order chicken. So I get my dish and I am overly excited only to cut into it and have a wave of disappointment wash over me. The steak was severely overcooked. with mulitple temperatures throughout. With the very middle being medium to almost medium-well. and the rest of the steak being well done. When the server asked how everything was i showed him the steak and how it was over cooked. He said well with steaj there is always some spots that are a little more cooked. I told him there was not a spot in the steak the was rare and he said looks pretty rare to me. Instead of correcting the mistake and accepting that they messed up they argued with me and told me it was cooked perfectly. After telling him I did not want this he continued to argue and i gave up and said just rap it up then. He came back out aftwr and said the chef said hell take 10 dollars off. Now we get the check... 150 dollars was the total. The steak was 80 dollars!!! If i had known that i would not have ordered it in the first place. This was one of the most unupressive meals and horribly handeled situations I have had anywhere by people in the service industry. the entire attitude preceding the discovery of the over cooked steak made me furious. My wife and I were both disgusted by this situation. I am hoping that owners will see this and correct the actions of the people employed by them. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant and I urge others to stay away as well.
