    My favorite omelette place, I make a point to stop by whenever I'm in town. Great service and small diner vibes. Awesome way to start the day. Will return!

    Vanilla iced latte!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute and cozy spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast! Lovely servers. Amazing food! You can tell everything is fresh and made with intention. I had a Denver omelet and it was divine! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just the perfect place after a hike.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went for breakfast and if we are ever in the area again I would definitely come back.

    I cut off a piece of prime rib and dipped it into the horseradish sauce.  Delicious!

    The first Saturday of every month, Edelweiss Restaurant 2 offers a delicious breakfast of "Prime Rib and Eggs," which just happens to be one of the best breakfasts you'll have the pleasure to enjoy in western Placer County. I hit this breakfast up every time my schedule permits! The menu is posted on a door outside the restaurant, with the "Specials" posted next to it. The restaurant faces Sacramento St., so you can people watch, and enjoy the sights of historic "Old Town Auburn" as you enjoy a fine meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor of the restaurant is quite rustic, and "earth," and isn't exactly what you'd see in a 21st century chain restaurant, but it's comfortable and blends in perfectly with the charm the area has to offer[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I doubt the decor has been updated since the 1960's, but the locals, and I, love it the way it is. From the "Breakfasts" section of the menu, I went with "Prime Rib and Eggs," which is a special dish, served the first Saturday of every month. Sides included sourdough toast, hash brown potatoes, a couple cups of horseradish sauce and an optional side of breakfast gravy. Truly a remarkable breakfast... as it has almost become a de facto standard for the first Saturday of the month when my schedule permits. Talk about an amazing breakfast entrée... a thick 16-oz cut of choice prime rib beef, which was tender, juicy and cooked to order by the talented chef. I went with my slab of beef grilled to medium rare, but if medium rare isn't your choice, chefs Jay or Roberto will grill your prime rib exactly the way you choose. As always, the meat was perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful and simply delicious! Not only was it tender and delicious, it was simply beautiful to look at and almost made me afraid to cut into it. Well... almost... The presentation today, as always was simply beautiful, as the slab of beef was medium brown around the edge, but a tender pinkish inside... tender, juicy and delicious... exactly the way I like it! This is a slab of prime rib that is perfect in every way! The juicy slab of prime rib beef is "standalone" delicious and doesn't need any enhancements... yet I always get a couple cups of horseradish sauce for dipping, and to elevate the amazing cut of beef from "top shelf" up the sky. Our friendly server Jessica always remembers the request, so I don't even bother to ask. Almost always, I order hash brown potatoes, I we simply can't get enough of 'em. As in all "old school" diners, the hash browns were golden crispy and crunchy on the outside, and tender, white and juicy on the inside, which made perfect side of hash brown potatoes. Enjoyed as a side dish to the prime rib, dipped into the eggs, or the gravy, the hash browns were simply perfect. I've ordered "Country Potatoes" a couple of times - they're simply delicious - but it's hard to imagine enjoying this amazing breakfast without a side of hash browns. When it comes to eggs, I ordered my eggs fried over sunnyside, which go well with hash brown potatoes. The eggs were perfectly fried, as ordered, and simply delicious. I'm "old school," and I like to mix eggs with the hashbrowns. By the way, you can order your eggs cooked any way you desire. On this Saturday morning, as always, I ordered an optional side dish of gravy, which made for amazing dipping to go with the hashbrowns. The sausage gravy was rich, thick and simply delicious, and made for perfect dipping for hash brown potatoes and prime rib. The amazing gravy the kitchen at Edelweiss Restaurant 2 serves is always a welcome side dish for any breakfast. The slab of sourdough toast helped to salvage each delicious drop of gravy from the bowl. Sourdough toast, which is my de facto standard toast was on my breakfast menu today. The toast was perfectly toasted, and perfectly buttered, was simply delicious and made for a great way to enjoy the last of the gravy and the meat drippings. The toast came with two small packages of jelly which I simply ignored, as I like my toast with only butter. Edelweiss Restaurant 2 offers all common varieties of toast, along with English muffins, and you can even substitute biscuit and gravy for a small additional charge. As my schedule permits, the first Saturday of the month will be a Saturday morning breakfast day at Edelweiss Restaurant 2, located in Auburn, CA. I hesitate to use the adjective "the best," but the "Prime Rib and Eggs" breakfast is of the best breakfasts I've had the pleasure to enjoy during my 25+ years of dining in western Placer County. Consider this... on the days when my friend Dan is able to join me, he drives 140 miles each way from Merced to enjoy this amazing breakfast... that says something about the wonderful breakfast of "Prime Rib and Eggs" you'll enjoy the first Saturday of every month at Elelweiss Restaurant 2! Edelweiss Restaurant 2 consistently is 5 star dining!

    Let me tell you about this hidden gem of a place! Not within 1 second of me walking in they greeted me with such warmth, I was seated got a great Vanilla Latte. I ordered the French Dip with cheese and it was huge! It was hot and steaming straight from the kitchen within 4 minutes of me ordering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love love love this place and the ambiance, warm hospitality and fantastic food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much! If I could give it 10 Stars I would!

    Up here in Auburn, when it comes to breakfast, we have about five places that you can count on to deliver a good meal. But I think the number one place is Edelweiss restaurant 2. They have been around for decades. The food and service is top-notch. Right now until Thanksgiving you can order French toast or a waffle and get pumpkin glaze with pecans on top. It's amazing. It's the bees knees..

    Right off the 80, Old Town Auburn is a must-stop for anyone travelling this way. Except maybe the Donner Party. Donner Party, table for 81... 74... 79... 68...? Anyway, we stopped in Auburn because of the striking old architecture (it's worth a look) and the locals led me to this place with super unpretentious with friendly, attentive servers. We sat in the John Travolta Table. It's in the closet. I kid. It's in the corner. I guess he shots scenes from Phononi Phoenomim Phenomin that 1996 movie in this part of town. I ordered a burger. It wasn't the BEST burger I have ever had, but it was crazy fresh and crazy big and crazy loaded, with sharp cheddar covering the jalapenos so they didn't roll off the burger, and the prices were all reasonable. It came with more crisp fries than I needed (a rarity) and a 17 oz diet coke, with free refills. I liked the place so much that we came back for lunch less than 24 hours later. This time I had one of their 45 4-egg omelettes, the #16 (Bacon, Onion, Avocado, and Tomato), which they really should rename the B.O.A.T. It was huge and fresh. The country potatoes were okay, but I recommend the hash browns. I took 2/3 of my avocado out and covered my toast and somewhere a hipster got its wings.

    Always a great place to visit. If you are a fan of big food, look no further. It's wonderful to see the same faces year after year, and to be greeted and taken care of so warmly. I have to give Ashley a shout out because her smile is warmer than 100 suns.![[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice big windows for single diners to look out at and people watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a great stop if you're just traveling through and want to catch a great bite to eat. Over 450 Omelette combos. 22 different sandwiches. Open 7 days a week 7am to 3pm. I absolutely adore this place. Hope you make the time to check it out. Parking up the street if you can't find anything out in front. They have beer, wine, champagne, and espresso.

    WHERE DO ALL THE LOCALS GO? Well, they dine at Edelweiss Restaurant 2 located in Old Town Auburn. Great little local joint where everyone knows your name! (note- Edelweiss Restaurant 1 is located in downtown Auburn and is managed separate of each other) This was my first visit to OId Town Auburn and Edelweiss Restaurant 2 and IMHO stood out above the other eateries. 46 omelet varieties? Sheesh! and the size of each omelet is 4 eggs!! 4 Eggs.... You'd think Paul Bunyan lived there. But they do offer 1/2 orders if your "Paul Bunyan" appetite can't have the full size 4 egg omelet. Now then, I'm from Hawaii (where "Loco Moco" was born) and Edelweiss Restaurant 2 had a Loco Moco on the menu. My travel partner ordered it so I had an opportunity to taste it. It was pretty darned good with a brown mushroom gravy over a LARGE bed of rice. If I'm ever passing through Auburn (which I do at least twice a year) I will stop in old town Auburn to try other items on Edelweiss Restaurant 2's menu. oh- one more thing= it's priced right.

The food has been always been top-notch and the service is fantastic. The wait staff is professional, well trained, and a pleasure to deal with especially Anne Marie. I have only one complaint. Last week when we went for breakfast on Sunday, we were told that they no longer have their housemate hollandaise sauce. We've been having salmon Benedict's there for years and their hollandaise sauce is absolutely fantastic. Canned or packaged holiday sauce is not going to cut it. You never ever change the menu when you have such a a great thing going for you. I think that they have rectified this problem. I sure hope so because I don't know where else I would go for breakfast. Bring back the housemate hollandaise sauce! This place is too good and has been so good for years to mess it up with a silly change like that.

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.

Well, no disappointment here! It was on a Thursday morning- people were there eating, more then kept coming since it's almost lunch time.

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.

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.

    Happy Easter everyone!…read more Today, my daughter and I went out to breakfast here at Sweetpeas. It is located off the freeway on the corner of Bowman and Luther roads. There was plenty of parking when we pulled in. As you walk in, you seat yourself. I hadn't been here before, but my daughter has. When we sat down (table and chairs kinda place), one server got us a couple of waters while we were looking over the menu.. perfect, because that's what we love to drink. After we decided on what we wanted I got a chance to look around at the decor on the walls. It felt very family friendly with baby pictures on the walls, signs, coffee mugs along the restaurants name spelled out on the wall. It was very cute and cozy. My daughter ordered the Carnitas Omelet (Carnitas omelet with jack cheese, black beans, red onions, avocado, and black olives, topped with sour cream. Served with sourdough toast and fresh fruit) with strawberries. I ordered the Huevos Ranchero's with eggs over medium (Corn tortillas, refried beans, 2 eggs, sour cream, avocado, homemade salsa, and cheese cheese. Also served with a side of salsa.) We didn't wait long, it arrived within 10 minutes. Also, after smelling their delicious coffee, I had to have a cup! A+!!!! My daughter let me try her Carnitas Omelet. Their Carnitas is on point! It was tender and has great flavor! Her omelet was beautifully cooked, being that it was gorgeous, yellow and fluffy. My Huevos Ranchero's was crispy in the bottom as I requested. I love the topping of avocado. The only thing I would change is to get all the salsa on the side. There was quite a bit on the Huevos Ranchero's themselves and it was a little overwhelming. Next time, I'll order it completely on the side. The menu has it listed as homemade... it tasted a little bit like it was Pace chunky salsa. I didn't even touch the side of salsa that also comes in the side and I wasn't sure what the extra side of tortillas was for, but I took those home. My daughter took home about half of her 3 egg omelet and some toast. Maddy was a great server. Everyone helped each other out by doing coffee refills for all tables (not just their own), running out hot food, and helping clean up tables as people finished their plates. Great team work! We paid up in the front and we're on our way. BE SURE TO TIP YOUR SERVER FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK!
