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.

Where else can you order Miso Soup with your burger?…read more Don't let the strip mall location fool you: the food here is legit. They use good bread on their burgers, my friend said their buns are delicious! I ordered a vegan burger and even the cheese and the bread was vegan! There's even a vegan noodle dish. This place leans into sushi: haven't tried this trip. I felt welcomed by the staff, and the folx inside seemed pleasant. Being people of color, we really appreciated this. I didn't care for their miso soup at all, so I don't recommend the soup. Tasted like someone went in real heavy on smoked paprika.

Our forth visit and we sat at the bar for an early Mother's Day dinner…read more Maui fried Shrimp, spring rolls,Prego mego roll & Miso soup were split with the celebrating Mom. They were busy and out of most fresh fish, order took a bit to come out,so we enjoyed a Old Fashion & Rubicon Springs Larger, both excellent. First out was the spring rolls, crunchy, smoking hot outta the fryer & really good, with a couple of flavorful dipping sauces. Miso soup was enough for a taste, salty goodness with a couple of cubes of tofu. Prego mego roll was rich and filling, with fried shrimp,crab,avocado, wonton strips and a creamy white sauce with jalapenos,nice! Maui shrimp came out last,lite,rice paper flakey,tasty. Service was on point. Will be back for more menu sampling..

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!

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

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!!

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.

Reliable, tasty, and easy to recommend.

I celebrated my clients birthday yesterday!!…read more Happy Birthday, Dianne!!!! She picked Awful Annie's so she could enjoy an Awful Annie's Famous Body Mary! It had a touch of spice and was garnished with celery, a green olive, a spicy green bean, pepperchini, a lime, and a pearl onion. For lunch, we decided to order of the weekend specials menu! I ordered the Carnitas & chorizo Huevos Stack and she ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Dip... service was good. While we waited for our food, my client had to use the restroom twice. From where we were sat, it was quite a long walk, but it was an accessible ramp she was able to use since she has a cane. The steps would've been too much for her. When our meals arrived... both were stunning. My huevos Stack was not all it was cracked up to be. Although they had great crispy tortillas underneath, it had a lot of other soft foods on it that didn't give it much texture. Refried beans, over medium eggs, pico de gallo, red enchilada sauce, and not much meat on it to go around the plate to even it out. Dianne's Country Fried Steak Dip looked and tasted like it was created by someone that knows their breakfasts! Between 2 slices of parmesan toasted bread, there was a thin country fried steak, with over medium eggs, cheese, and BACON!!! And a side of gravy to dip into. That was a million times better than the huevos Stack! So I politely asked our server if I could switch to that special. She got the order in right away and it was out fast. Every bite had the perfect amount of flavor and their sausage gravy tasted insanely good! Both my client and I went home worth half of our meal. She was so happy and it melted my heart that I helped her have an amazing birthday. With the help of Awful Annie's, they helped her birthday become a home run!!! Delicious bloody Mary's, double delicious on our Country Fried Steak Dips, and fine service from the best in town! Thank you Awful Annie's!!
