After a hike, I was looking for something to replenish my energy and this place did NOT disappoint!…read moreThe parking lot is a fair size, but it seemed to fill up quickly. There was a good amount of outdoor seating along with a few tables inside as well. The vibe there was pretty lively and fun, almost reminded me of old-time burger joints. After ordering my Spicy Johnny burger and onion rings, it only took about 15 minutes to receive it, which is understandable because the food is fresh and made to order! At first glance, it worried me that the burgers seemed slightly small and I was worried I would still be hungry afterwards. However, I was decently satisfied after eating (although I do still wish it was slightly bigger). The burger was packed with flavor and extremely juicy. The spice on it packed a decent punch that satisfied my tastebuds! And the onion rings were great! They weren't hot when I received them, but they were still crunchy. After the meal, I ordered a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. Nothing more to say other than it was a refreshing way to end my dinner!

Upon arriving on a Saturday evening, this place was busy, and the vibes seemed great. I love that…read morethere's the option of indoor and outdoor seating. You can also order outside or inside. It took about 15 mins for my order but worth it for fresh food. For the sauces, they offered a variety including spicy thousand island, ranch, and etc. The burgers and onions rings were high quality and delicious. I was wondering if the burgers came with sides since they are in the pricier side, but it doesn't. But after eating my meal, I was pretty satisfied and everything tasted great, that the prices were justified. From photos, the burgers seemed small, but was happy to find out the burgers were a good size. I ordered the New Fashion and added cheese to it, plus family size onion rings. The burger was very filling and tasted really fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. But I do wish there was more lettuce than just one piece. The onion rings were made perfectly and wasn't overly greasy. After my meal, I went back to order a small ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. I love how they include this cute little plastic anti-drip cone holder! Overall, the entire experience was good and everything was delicious. I'd come back! (Random note; I've never seen a banana shaped wet floor sign before but that made me giggle hehe)

I explained that we had come in before closing time, and we were still not served. It's hard enough to get in here when the place is closed at 4 on Sundays, and closed completely on Mondays and Tuesdays. I really like the food here but this leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. How are we supposed to support a local business when they're never open when we need them to be? It is too tricky to keep track of their fussy hours. Guess I'll get my burgers elsewhere.

I first discovered this place back in high school and always pass by it whenever I head to…read moreSacramento or San Francisco, or back home to Reno. The parking lot is pretty big, but usually pretty busy. They also have outdoor seating and seating inside their diner. I usually get their Dutch Apple Pie or their Chicken Pot Pie for my boyfriend. The pie is so yummy and filled with apples! I love how you can choose from the frozen ones or the fresh ones. I usually get a fresh one, eat a bit, and then freeze the rest. There are also some samples of their dips and granola from the last time I went. All of them tasted pretty good! This place is always a great stop while you're on the road.

The fries stood out too; crispy, and clearly not an afterthought. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall food quality was consistently solid across the board. It's the kind of place that gets the basics right and still manages to feel like a step above casual dining. Definitely worth a stop for lunch or dinner if you're in or traveling through Auburn. Reliable, tasty, and easy to recommend.

I also love a good walk-up, order, and pay setup--quick, easy, no fuss. Bonus points for the good ice (you know the kind). Parking was a breeze with a big lot, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so it never feels cramped. The staff was kind and efficient, which always makes the food taste even better. Solid spot, solid vibes, and I'll definitely be back.

There were lots of picnic tables outside and you order at the counter. The place had a fun vibe.

This meal did not leave me yearning for some oink-oink, moo-moo nor cluck-cluck. Delicious in its own right. Recommended!

The restaurant has many TVs for watching sports and it's never noisy like traditional sports bars. It is in a convenient location on Lincoln Way just off of the Auburn-Ravine / Foresthill Road exit in the Raleys shopping center with lots of parking available. I recommend this place to everyone.

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!
