Best pizza I've ever had. I'm usually a cheese pizza type of guy but MAN...DUDE...BRO... it was…read moredelectable. These folk have the perfect thickness crust with the most savory and flavorful sauces you could ask for. The ingredients were perfectly spread through the pizza and chopped to perfect so it wasn't just chicken in one bite or just tomatoes in one bite you got the whole experience of the ingredients every single time. Not only were these pizzas tried and true, the ambiance of this beautiful RESTAURANT was everything you could ask for stopping in the middle of the beautiful hills of Auburn it was refreshingly cool, we're talkin t shirt jeans, t shirt shorts, hoodie and shorts, it doesn't matter it's a comfortable place. You had your option of round tables and high square tables that fit more than two people because how can you not bring everyone you know here. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by an amazing host who not only made sure we had everything we needed every 3 minutes but the pizza came out in record time. Not rushed, but so efficient in a way you can only ask to receive at fast food. You can tell whoever owns this business is PROUD and PASSIONATE, about what they do and it truly shows every step of the way. Not only will I be coming back but I will be shouting from the rooftops that this is the best pizza I have ever had, and I've had em all. It was the quality of a fancy wood fire pizza for cheaper than Papa John's. Papa John himself dreams of this pizza. Thank you so much American River Pizza & Grill for making the end of my motorcycle ride not just another ride but a memory for me to look back on. I hope that this message finds every reader well and I hope the owners and staff and their families are blessed with long, healthy, and happy lives.

After a road trip, this place hits the spot. Came during happy hour and had to get one of the happy…read morehour deals. The bone-in wings were a great deal and huge, however, I felt like the wing was mostly batter rather than chicken. That was pretty much the only downside. The burgers are 1/2 lb each and are hefty, filling, and come with a nice portion of crispy, salty fries. They were an excellent choice! We also got the sampler platter which had a nice variety. Nothing was overly greasy and the tenders had a good chicken to batter ratio. Inside is spacious with lots of seating. It gives the vibes of an after work hangout spot. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Whether you're stopping during a roadtrip or have a wedding to attend in Auburn, this place will keep your belly full!

I don't usually give bad reviews but.... the flatbread just wasn't good. The tomato sauce tastes…read morelike canned tomato paste with no flavor. It was thick and not tasty at all. I had heartburn all night. Maybe other things on the menu are good, but pass on the flatbread. Our waitress quickly brought our drinks and anything else we requested, but that's about it. It's a small town so I expected more. I do like to try local beers and they do offer a selection. Sorry, but the only highlight was the beer was nice and cold.

VEGAN SIGHTING!!! If…read moreyou are vegan, this quaint restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch has a separate section for vegans. The food was tasty, hearty and worth the money. I had the Vegan Joe scramble which consisted of beyond burger, mushrooms, spinackh and Daiya cheese. I had it with potatoes and toast, which came with vegan butter. The dish was 2 thumbs up. The potatoes was crispy and flavorful, did not even need salt. Youssef, who helped us, was wonderful, attentive and friendly. A big shout out to Auburn, CA for having this gem.

We're Auburn locals- don't eat breakfast out much but one day after an early doctors appointment…read moreand my husband is a breakfast foodie- we decided to have a light bite here-again after probably 6 months ago. Well, no disappointment here! It was on a Thursday morning- people were there eating, more then kept coming since it's almost lunch time. The server gal is super sweet, prompt, and came back plenty of times asking if everything is alright! I had the hot Reuben sandwich with a cup of their clam chowder while my husband had the fish and chops and a bowl of clam chowder. LOVE the soup! Nice balance of creaminess, taste and enough clams! Filling and satisfying on its own. The sandwich was also tasty- enough that I had to bring back half to take home. Husbands fish and chip which was on their special of the day was a bit disappointing- he said wasn't as tasty as he hoped and could have been a better serving size. Overall, nice place to have breakfast or brunch; cute place to chow down since liking at everyone's else's food- serving size it quite hefty! Yay! Definitely coming back more often!

Giving it two stars because the food was at least tasty for what it was. The service and kitchen…read morespeed are absolutely atrocious. I don't know what was going on back there, but the servers barely made rounds to our table, didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee, and when we asked one server to check on our food. All she said was "it would be out soon" and we heard that for the next 10 minutes each time we asked. The restaurant itself seemed pretty clean although the bathrooms definitely could use renovation. You can just tell that either they have so much business they don't care much about service or they're just not quite sure how to dial everything in to balance the front of house and kitchen delivery. If I have any specific suggestions to offer: tell your customers upfront about your kitchen wait times. Nobody wants to wait an hour for breakfast food. Make sure to follow up with your customers and ask them if they want anything else to drink besides water it seems like a really easy way to make extra money.

We hosted our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Auburn Alehouse, and it was…read moreabsolutely 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!!

If you're looking for Bud Light or Miller light or Coors light or any of those things you're not gonna find that here. It's a brewery.

I was really looking forward to breakfast at Awful Annie's, especially since it's such a well-known…read morelocal restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment, although the service was excellent. I ordered the biscuits and gravy (thankfully, just the small portion). The gravy tasted as though it was made primarily with flour, butter, and water, lacking the rich, creamy flavor I expect from good country gravy. The sausage didn't really taste like sausage and was broken into tiny, almost crumb-like pieces that added very little flavor or texture. My breakfast companion also ordered the biscuits and gravy and barely ate it. She added a blueberry pancake, but it contained very few blueberries--just a handful inside and a couple on top. The pancake itself tasted more like it came from a commercial mix than from scratch. The maple syrup also had an unusual flavor that neither of us enjoyed. On the positive side, the hot spicy cinnamon tea was absolutely delicious, and our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. I always hate leaving a negative review because I know restaurants work hard. I hope this was simply an off day in the kitchen, but based on our experience, the food did not live up to its reputation.
