    Front counter.

    Arrived on a Sunday for some lunch. It wasn't busy but it wasn't dead either. Store is located in a shared building and easy to locate. I parked across the street behind buildings as the parking up front was full. The sandwiches were amazing! I ordered three sandwiches (make it extra, cheesesteak, and Italian). All were excellent and their sourdough bread was great. They also had clearly Canadian sodas that are so hard to find and they also had cherry yuzu. Have to say this was a great surprise and great meal. Definitely will be back.

    Excellent Reuben

    Nice little family owned deli in the heart of the old town Auburn area. Everyone was super friendly when we walked in. Order at the counter, and then grab one of the small tables (think there were 3 inside and 1 outside) or sit at the window counter to watch the goings on outside. Our Reuben sandwich was very good. Nice thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing on a grilled marble rye. Just the way they should be made.... We added a freshly made macaroni salad to finish off our lunch. It was all very good.

    Real Italian

    I have never eaten here before today. My company catered lunch and we got to select what we wanted. I got the real Italian on gluten free bread and the bread was great! Not the crumbly Udi's bread. All the ingredients were fresh and exactly how I ordered it. I also asked for extra pickles so I got extra on my sandwich and an extra container of them! A restaurant after my own heart! I also ordered the cucumber salad and it was great, too. Thank you!

    If you're heading eastbound towards Reno or westbound towards Sacramento on I-80, I highly recommend this excellent family-owned and operated sandwich spot. This is none other than "North Fork Deli". Located in the heart of downtown Auburn, this place has been serving up "deli"cious sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and much more dating back to 2018. And since it has that small community feel, the entire staff truly goes above and beyond with each and every customer. As I mentioned, they are located in downtown Auburn on Lincoln Way and just a block from High St (Highway 49). There is no dedicated parking lot but on any given day, there should be quite a bit of available street parking. Since this is a relatively sleepy town with that small town vibe that includes mom-and-pop stores, eateries, and boutiques, everything is a bit more relaxed here. Fortunately, I parked only steps away from the main entrance and proceeded inside during the afternoon of Saturday 9/21/2024 at around 2:00pm. The inside area is quite small and has very limited seating. However, there is also an indoor "courtyard" area (that has other local businesses) with tables that are used for North Fork Deli customers. This is where my lady and I decided to sit to enjoy our lunch. The menu itself is quite extensive as they have many hot & cold sandwich options as well as salads, soups, breakfast items, ice cream, and even craft beer on tap. I decided to go with a sweet roll (full-size) bread w/turkey, salami, cheddar cheese, greens, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, mustard, alfalfa sprouts, and jalapeños. I also paired this up with some kettle chips and canned soft drink. Total price for everything came out to around $22. I will say that the employees worked fast and diligently as our sandwich was brought to our table in less than 5 minutes. And this was during a very busy time of day on a Saturday. As far as the taste of this sandwich, the sweet roll was the real winner as this was super soft and tasted as if it was baked that morning. The veggies, meat, and cheese also tasted fresh and absolutely delicious. I am a picky eater when it comes to sandwiches and I will say that this place is worth checking out. Even Yelp rated it as top places to eat in 2022 while their business is an active member of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce. Finally, and what really I really appreciated is that there is an autographed football jersey of San Francisco 49ers hall-of-fame quarterback, Joe Montana. All in all, "North Fork Deli" is as good as it gets to a quality sandwich. This place is arguably the best in Auburn and I will even vote that it is one of the best in all of Placer County (which covers Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Colfax, and many more). They are open 7 days a week (hours can vary) and they also do online ordering through their website, https://northforkdeli.com/. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

    Best! Reuben! Ever! Locally made fresh bread, fresh ingredients, fresh baked cookies, and owner Amber is a charming hostess who makes her customers feel like family! Make your way to Downtown Auburn for this hidden gem!

    Everytime I visit I'm reminded why North Fork Deli is rated so highly. Since my last visit they've done some small renovations to open things up a bit more. Every time I've visited, I've been welcomed right away and the staff is so friendly during the interactions. They have a great selection of cold and hot sandwiches as well as beer options, drinks and chips. On my latest visit I ordered the smaller version of the Italian Melt ($8.49) and it was delicious. The combination of meats, cheese, marinara sauce, onions and pepperoncini was my ideal flavor combination. It was a bit messy, but they gave me extra napkins for that very reason. I was really impressed with their local beer selection and if I wasn't running errands I may have stayed to enjoy one with my sandwich. Parking isn't too hard, unless you're stopping by during the busiest times of the day. It's all street parking and there's plenty of both sides of the street. I'll definitely have this as a regular spot when passing through.

    From left to right BBQ Tri-Tip Tri-Tip Cheesesteak  Cali Reuben Clam Chowder with Bacon. ( I mixed the Bacon so it's hard to see).

    One of The BEST Sandwich places around Sac and Placer County! I've had different sandwiches every time to try something different. It's hard to choose my favorite sandwich. There are delicious! Whatever you select you're going to love it. And maybe the best Clam Chowder I've ever had! I've been to "Fancy" restaurants but never compare to this place. I also tried the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich. So good!

    Mama Mia, it's amazing! As someone who's part Italian and quite picky about Italian food…read moreestablishments, I often wonder if they truly serve authentic Italian cuisine or just American-Italian dishes. Well, thanks to my cousins from Rocklin who introduced me to this charming Italian restaurant nestled in the hills of Auburn, I can confidently say: thank you, and well done! From the moment we walked into this family-run establishment, we were greeted by friendly servers and a wonderful ambiance. The inviting atmosphere made it feel like we had temporarily escaped the greater Placer area to an authentic Italian bungalow, perhaps in a quaint Italian neighborhood. The delightful aromas and the selection of Italian wines set the stage for a wonderful evening filled with delicious food and laughter. Everyone around us appeared to be enjoying their meals! We were quickly seated, and our server, Gina, did an excellent job explaining the specials and suggesting wine pairings. I opted for the spaghetti with meat sauce, which was fantastic, and their salads are superb, drizzled with an Italian dressing that only Mama could make. The next time I'm in town, you can bet that I'm heading over to Pasquale's, and you should too! And thanks again to my cousins!

    We've been coming to Old Town Pizza in Auburn every Wednesday night for trivia for quite some time…read morenow, and this review is definitely overdue. Every single week, the staff is incredibly friendly and on top of everything. Service is always quick, even when it's busy, and they consistently make the experience feel easy and welcoming. Trivia night is such a highlight for us. It's genuinely fun, well-run, and something we look forward to all week. David and Asia are amazing hosts. They keep the energy up, make it engaging, and you can tell they really care about creating a great experience. One thing that really stood out to me was how responsive management is. I mentioned that the changing table in the women's restroom was broken, and by the time we came back the following week, it had already been replaced. That level of follow-through is rare and really appreciated. We actually drive in from Wheatland every week just to come here, which probably says it all. We love this place and plan to keep coming back.

The pizza was really solid (and I say this coming from Oakland / SF, which have really great pizza). Good crust, tasty toppings. We got a Lean Green Pesto Flatbread (minus the chicken), Reset Veggie Flatbread, Pickle Flatbread, spinach salad, and green salad. The Pickle Flatbread was a bit sweeter than I'd like, but tasty with beer. Everything else was great. Spinach salad was solid, green salad was eh but did the job of balancing out all the pizza.
