We have lived in Auburn for a decade and first encountered the Brown House while we were building…read moreour house and would pick up dinner on our work breaks. The food had been consistently good. They have classic mom and pop griddled burgers, decent quality meat, made to order, always hot. You can choose from a plethora of fried goods and an in-house prepared breaded tenderloin that represents a Hoosier tenderloin well. In recent years, the business has been passed down to a younger generation. That came with some modern upgrades in marketing and packaging, including online ordering. The economy as well as new owners, has also made portion sizes smaller (a $3 French fry is now smaller than a small at a typical fast food joint) and the prices have also increased. Ten dollar burgers are standard most places now, but over $15 for a burger meal at a drive thru stand may be hard for some patrons to swallow. The custard and soft serve is delicious, albeit, still not a cheap treat. The staff is always efficient and friendly. The inside appears clean and orderly. The outdoor seating area and the appearance is charming, while still maintaining the old school vibes and nostalgia we all love about the Brown House. It's not an inexpensive meal, but the quality is good, service is consistent, and they still include the peppermint in your sack to round off your meal.

The service was quick and friendly! We went through the drive thru, but I noticed a cute patio area…read morewith tables set up. My husband got a rootbeer float that he loved. I got the classic brown-ie sundae, and it was wonderful! The frozen vanilla custard was dreamy, the brownie chunks were warm and rich, and the hot fudge sauce was thick and decadent! It was topped off with peanuts and whipped cream(I skipped the maraschino cherry). Will definitely go back!

Adorable and not many tables, but has a small bar with stools also. The FOOD - is great! Breakfast, sandwiches, dinners. Our group (4) ordered fish, onion rings, tots, spaghetti salad, crab salad and a turkey club wrap and homemade pies - Dutch apple pie and Peanut butter pie. The Friday night specials included steaks and baked potatoes which looked delicious passing our table. Nothing was greasy, fish, tots, onion rings were crispy. Salads are homemade and yummy. Our server and the staff treated us s like locals! If you're in the area GET A MEAL HERE.

We frequent this establishment and find when it is good, it is very good, but unfortunately, it is…read morenot consistent. For example, the chicken basket purchased this evening is a 50/50 chance of being a fail. Tonight was a fail (again). The Chicken was very dark and dry to the point of being unpleasant to eat. We have had them forget the sauce in the past while giving inconsistent portions. But they topped everything tonight..... a couple of the potato wedges were actually ROTTEN. I have never eaten a rotten potato until tonight, I can tell you a rotten potoato tastes just how it woud smell and immediately kills the appetite. In the past we have received salads with missing ingredients, so stopped ordering salads. It always feels risky ordering take out from the Italian Grill. We have attempted to notify management in the past , with no response or care. If you like playing food roulette, you may enjoy it. But for me, I think it is time to take them off our take out list.

Good ole pizzeria in Garrett…read more.. We've seen a lot of press about CP lately, so the ole ball and chain wanted to give it a Go... Good pizza. It's kind of light, fluffy, and crispy all in one. I really liked their red sauce and they load the pizzas up with toppings. Our bill was $60 for two pies (we brought home one of them because those suckers are yuuuuge), a house salad, and two local crafties... That's a win in today's restaurant price gouging world. The restaurant itself is rather plain looking, but it's clean and the service was good... While I don't think CP is on the same level as Oley's, 800 Degrees, or Three Fires, we'll come back because it's respectable pizza. Dave Portnoy 7.7

Coterie Pizza (hwy 327, Garrett, Indiana) - for delicious stone fired pizza and relaxed/casual…read moredining We made a return trip to Coterie after a 3 year absence. Coterie is easy to find. Head north on 327...about 15 minutes north of Dupont Road. They are located in a strip mall, just as you get into town, on the west side of the road. There is plenty of easy-access parking. The restaurant is smaller as it holds about 50 people. It can be busy. There are ample tables for 4 people and some for parties of 8-10 people. The menu is fairly small with only 8 specialty pizzas. Only two items on the appetizer menu - the beer cheese is a MUST try. The pizzas seem pretty reasonable priced for a 12 inch stone fired pizza - $13.45. Coterie has self serve beverage service. You can choose from one of five local beers - and pay by the ounce. Or you can fill up your cup at the soda/tea center. The team here is very friendly and helpful. They all work hard to make sure you have a good customer experience - which we did! Plenty of kitchen help to keep the food rolling..especially at peak diner time! Here is a run down on the items we ordered: -Caprese salad: smaller dish for $5.99. All cherry tomatoes and basil were very fresh and cool to taste. The mozzarella cheese and toppings blended well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar flavors. Easy to share. -Beer Cheese ($6.99): a layer of pizza dough rolled out thin and baked to a slightly chewy texture. The dough has a slight garlicky flavor and cut into nice sized shareable pieces. The beer cheese is smooth, creamy and dreamy! You get hints of beer amongst the mild cheese flavors. The sauce is a bit thin and simply addicting! -Chicken bruschetta pizza: The golden brown crust is a little tough as it is well baked but still chewable. No special flavors are added to the crust. The bottom was soft and white. The chicken bruschetta is not your typical pizza creation. The tomato sauce was rather thin and only added a mild tomato taste zip. The chicken was tender and picked up the flavors that surrounded it nicely. The cherry tomatoes and basil toppings were very fresh and tasty. They blended really well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar drizzles. The fresh mozzarella cheese was sprinkled in enough to help hold all the toppings in place. If you liked the Coterie Caprese salad...you would really like the chicken bruschetta pizza!
