We had bunch there Sunday I had a BLT on wheat bread with cottage cheese and I must say it was all very good. My sister enjoyed her brunch and so did our niece their pickle fries were amazing. read more

If you have plenty of extra time in your day, this might be the place for you. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely slow from start to finish. It took about 40 minutes just for someone to take our order. From the time we sat down to when our food arrived, it was an hour and a half. We had three small children with us, who were very hungry. This was our first visit, and seeing the airplanes was a big reason we chose this restaurant, especially since the kids were so excited about it. Sadly, the excitement only distracted them for a short time while we waited. A little more attentiveness and communication from the staff would have made a big difference. Waiting that long, especially with young children, made the experience really difficult. We were really hoping this would become a place to visit regularly, but unfortunately the long wait and lack of service made it a very disappointing first experience. Because of that, we will not be returning. read more

Fun outdoor ambiance right on the airstrip--perfect too if you need to redirect awkward conversations, by noting movements on the tarmac. ;-) The Western Burger is exactly what you'd expect; bacon, bbq sauce, onion ring, but it's perfectly executed, and beef and the cook on it is great. The fries were crisp, well salted, and plentiful. Good produce on the burger setup. Service is friendly and efficient, and even though the restaurant was busy, the food came out shockingly fast, about 10 minutes, wonderfully hot, and all of our food arrived at the same time--not a given at other establishments. Only possible criticism is many of the outdoor tables and picnic benches feel amateurish/residential and tend awkward, not totally comfortable, and of improper size. This is not serious enough an issue to keep me away, however, and I look forward to a repeat visit!! read more

Wings Grill & Espresso Bar - Western Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Auburn, California

Service was bad. Waited almost 2 hours including seating and waiting for our food. People who work here don't look happy. Food was ok. Potato's yuckkkk!! It was made in bacon grease. If I had known they cooked it in bacon grease I wouldn't have gotten it. I don't eat pork so this was very disappointing. This is the first restaurant that I have gone to that makes potatoes in bacon grease. There's only one small plane toy for kids to play on. I think there should be more for kids to do especially when the wait time is super long. Would I return back NO! Drove an hour to this place not worth it read more

Love this place! I ordered the egg Benedict. It was good. Services could be a little faster! Ambience is really good. I like the view of the Auburn Airport. I would definitely visit if I am in the area! read more

As a long-time fan of Wing's, I am really frustrated that they are now taking online orders like Door Dash. My family and I come here often, sometimes weekly and we are always incredibly patient when they are spacing out their seating times to allow the kitchen to get caught up, but now seeing that online orders are being made while we are still waiting for a table, is incredibly rude and disrespectful. Just this last weekend, in the amount of time that we were waiting to have our order taken (at least 15 minutes after seating), and then waiting for our food (at least another 25 minutes), we counted 6 different online orders get picked up. Come on Wings! You're better than this! You will lose onsite customers who have been overly patient with the increase in wait times and food delivery times since adding the extra seating outside. Be honest with yourself, even on a great day, your kitchen isn't big enough to keep up. The older dark haired lady that seats people and sometimes works as a waitress even said so this weekend when she was overwhelmed with all of the orders, which made her incredibly short and rude with people inside. PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS DECISION! If nothing else, don't do online orders on the busy weekends! read more

We flew into this cute airport hidden in the mountains, and stumbled upon this cute restaurant. First we had to rotate our big plane to a proper spot, and across the gate we were quietly seated inside. I like the simple short menu choices here. I was very hungry, and ate the entire sandwich. The sandwich was big and delicious. Server was quick and nice. read more

Wings Grill & Espresso Bar - Pesto chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Auburn, California

By luck, I discovered this breakfast/lunch cafe by the Auburn airport. What a pleasant surprise. Wings is an off the beaten path cafe, but well worth stopping by. It's a stones throw (literally) from Knee Deep Brewery. They serve breakfast til 11:30 and lunch til 2pm. I am a pancake lover, and I loved their light, moist pancakes. I had the pancake/egg/meat combo and it was perfect... and quite filling. Get a side dish of chopped walnuts to add perfection to the cakes. The waitstaff was attentive and always ready with coffee top-off's! Wings Grill has an airport view out the back window, as well as outdoor seating in nice weather. There is even a small lawn play area for kids. Parking is ample with its dedicated parking lot. While not a boutique cafe with fancy tableware, Wings is a great local home style casual cafe. Give it a look! read more

We had a party of 12. The service was excellent and very accommodating. The food was great, flavorful with large portions. And the outdoor dining ambience on the tarmac was wonderful for our ex military retirees, truth is we all appreciated the view! read more

My very favorite restaurant in the Auburn area for both Breakfast & lunch! I'm often there 3 times a week. Really great food and excellent service and love sitting outside right in the airplane ramp watching planes and helicopters come and go. My favorite breakfast is their awesome Eggs Benedict and for lunch my favorite is the French Dip! Highly recommend!! read more

I've been coming to this spot for 10 years, mostly for one reason: the outdoor airport observation area. It's a unique feature that sets it apart from anything else nearby, truly cool, and the main reason I've continued to visit. That said, I've overlooked average food and consistently poor service for a long time. The airport setting alone earned them a generous second star. *Don't expect much when it comes to the food or the service. The system is painfully slow. Sometimes someone takes your drink order, disappears, and then someone else shows up 10 minutes later to take your food order. It's strange and inefficient. What finally pushed me to write this review was the overall lack of cleanliness and care. Seating customers at tables with leftover food chunks on the ground and flies everywhere It isn't acceptable. Turn on the fans, invest in a broom, upgrade your outdoor chairs and tables (and from Costco to TJ Max/Homegoods), and last, figure out some fly control. There's serious potential here. Trust, I want this place to be better - perhaps that's just wishful thinking. But with improved service, (more positive, engaged staff), a refreshed menu with healthier options, and upgraded outdoor furniture, it could actually earn more stars. read more

Wonderful place for breakfast and lunch. I love sitting outside looking at the airplanes landing and taking off while eating a delicious breakfast all lunch. The food is excellant and great size portions. read more

To be very honest, the place is nice, the foods alright, but the customer service? Absolute crap. And maybe it's just me, but there's a waitress that works there and always has a standoff attitude with me. No polite manners with me specifically. I've came here about 6 times, and the few times she's attended me, she's been rude and unfriendly. Walked in today, and waited to place my order seeing as though they were tending to customers who sat. grabbed a muffin, looked at my phone for a split second while co worker ordered, then I hear "are you going to order?" and looked at me like I'm telling a boring story. Put the muffin back in the bin and said changed my mind. She laughed it off as I walk away, but honestly, it's annoying read more

Located at the Auburn Municipal Airport, identified as KAUN, in Auburn, CA, Wings Grill and Espresso Bar serves delicious breakfast and lunch to pilots, locals, aviation buffs, and anybody who enjoys a great meal. Wings Grill is located at the Auburn Municipal Airport, in Auburn, CA. The large white shade canopy, covering the greatly expanded patio has been recently added, to enhance your outdoor dining experience and general aviation watching. You get to enjoy great dining, and watching airplanes, which makes for a winning combination. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a "Please Wait to be Seated" sign, and you'll be greeted by a friendly staff member. We walked in and were immediately greeted, and asked to be seated on the lovely patio, with a view of the airport. You can sit at any open table. The main dining room in furnished with tables, and, naturally, features aviation decor. On this gorgeous morning in mid-June, there was exactly one dining in the dining room, while everybody else was enjoying the amazing 80-degree weather and light breeze on the patio. From the "Wings Grill Menu," we both went with "Two Eggs And..." and the "And" for us turned out to be chicken fried steak. We both went with potatoes, two eggs fried over easy, and Dan went with cottage cheese, while my choice was biscuits and gravy. We enjoyed a beer for an appetizer... or was it dessert? The highlight of the breakfast was the chicken fried steak, which I can truthfully way turned out the be perhaps the BEST chicken fried steak that I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy, and... trust me... I have many chicken fried steaks under my belt. The chicken fried steak featured a seasoned, tender beef patty, about 6-oz, flattened thin, battered, and fried to a rich golden brown. Wings puts a unique and, for me, a never-seen-before slant on this delicious entree by topping it with jack cheese, bell pepper, onions and creamy sausage gravy. The cheese, bell pepper, onions and sausage gravy made for a simply unbelievably delicious chicken fried steak experience, which I'd never experienced before. All lovers of chicken fried steaks take note! The side of homestyle potatoes was seasoned, cut to small chunks and deep fried to a tender, golden brown with a nice golden crust, with tender, white potato on the inside. Like the chicken fried steak, the potatoes were perfectly fried. The chef at this fine restaurant truly has talent. Both of ordered eggs fried over easy, and the eggs arrived exactly as ordered: Perfectly fried over easy. This fine plate was garnished with a slice of orange and a sprig of fresh parsley to add to the beautiful presentation. My choice of side was biscuit and gravy, which is a side that I rarely resist, as it always enhances breakfast, or any other meal. My side was one small, fresh, in-house made biscuit, covered with the same delicious sausage gravy that enhanced my main dish. Mmmmm! I piled my eggs on top of the potatoes, added a few dashes of Cholula Mexican hot sauce to the eggs and moved the biscuit and gravy over to the main plate. Simply delicious! Breakfast lovers and lovers of chicken fried state will rejoice when enjoying this fine breakfast at Wings Grill, as I enjoyed the BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK EVER and most likely the finest chicken fried steak in Placer County, and maybe the entire west coast. General aviation and fine food co-locate at Wings Grill to add up to a winning combination. The food is great, the service is friendly and the dining, especially on the patio, will delight all "foodies," pilots and fans of watching a busy municipal airport in action.

This is a great breakfast place. Big portions and at very reasonable prices. I like that they offer half orders. I can tell you that in the future I will probably order the half instead of the whole. It's at the Auburn airport. Fun to watch planes taking off and landing. The space is a little crowded inside, but I am sure when the weather is better being able to sit outside will make a big difference. read more

Our group of 6 started arriving about noon. We were seated as we arrived and drink orders taken. The weather was rain snow mix so it wasn't as crowed as usual and the patio was closed. Service was good and well timed. We had Patty Melts and other Melts with fries or Onion Rings and bottled beer. Food was great comfort food. The ambiance is that of a casual cafe. The location is at the inside edge of the parking lot so one has to look for it. Plenty of parking. read more

Had breakfast this morning at Wings and our boys loved it! The food was yummy, friendly service and the entertainment was top notch! We sat outside, which is nice and covered, and it could not have been a more perfect morning. The service is a little slow so if you're in a hurry maybe skip this one but if you're wanting a leisurely and fun morning and time to really enjoy your breakfast this is the place to go. Ooh and the TBO and French Toast was amazing and our 3yr old ate almost his entire giant pancake, an egg and a slice of bacon. read more

My grandpa has taken us here over the years and this time my bf and I were visiting. It's so cool to find a locals spot and that has tasty food.

It was so nice catching up and now can't wait to come back (: read more

"Sorry, there's no manager, and the owner isn't here until tomorrow. You'll have to call back then". That's the response when calling Wings regarding an order that was missing half the ingredients. At one time a great restaurant, and of course a wonderful location. However, for some reason has gone downhill. No, won't be inconvenienced any further by "calling tomorrow". You just lost four longtime customers. read more

If you are looking for a place that seems like it is full of regulars and the ambiance is like you are in a homey restaurant then this is the place for you. They were very busy but we were sat within a good amount of time. Their menu had all the classics and quite a few unique items. Food came out fast and the linguica was absolutely delicious!! This was such a unique find and I was pleasantly surprised! They also had really good coffee! read more

We just enjoyed a lovely breakfast at Wings. We sat outside and watched the planes and helicopters in a comfortable setting . Our service and food was wonderful. The fruit that came with it was not your standard thrown together fruit cup, instead, it was perfect fruit, beautifully presented. The price also was very reasonable and affordable. We were celebrating a birthday and this is a special place! read more

Food was good, but nothing special. Service was sort of weird. Seemed like we were kind of ignored a bit after we were seated. Once we were being helped, the people there were very nice. We were maybe obviously not "the regulars". All in all, it was fine. read more

We love this spot. We frequent Wings when we are visiting friends that live in the Roseville/Rocklin area. It's definitely worth the drive. The food is consistently good and it's fun to sit outside watching the planes come and go - particularly if you have a little one. The one negative is that they are busy. I wish ownership would forgo working with Grubhub and other food delivery services. We've been there where the service and kitchen staff are clearly overwhelmed and it seems the backlog is often due to the to go orders. On our most recent visit we had to wait 30 minutes after being seated for our server to be able to help us - she was literally running to service way too many tables for one person so clearly a staffing issue. read more

Nice quaint cafe with an outdoor seating section to be able to sit, dine and view some of the small planes on the tarmac. Breakfast is not served all day. (closes at 2pm). Had a chili burger with fries and the meal was satisfying: open faced burger with tasty chili topped with cheese and onions. the fries were piping hot. my dining companions had the club sandwich and the cajun chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Those fries were also amazing, but the chicken sandwich per feedback was a bit dry and appeared to be smaller versus the last time it was ordered. Indoor seating can be a bit tight as the four top tables are set close to each other. This cafe does accept payment by tap (Apple Pay for example). Servers are friendly and attentive, a great cafe overall. read more

Be prepared to wait! I went on Saturday for lunch thinking it would be nice to sit outside and watch the planes. It took 20 minutes to be seated, which was fine because it was busy. It took forever to get our drinks, and we sat there for at least another 20 minutes for the server, who was in all fairness doing the best she could, to get our order. But it was the 45 plus minutes we waited for our food. All in all, we sat there for over an hour with one glass of ice tea. When we asked where our food was, the first time she said there was a 35-minute wait for food. It would have been nice to have known that when she took our order. The second time she said there were two tables still ahead of us, all the while bringing food to the tables who had been seated after us. We put $5 under the tea, asked the waitress to cancel our order, and went to Panera. Not quite the lunch experience I wanted. read more

New hours are Wed- Sun, as of 7/20/20, 8-2. They have expanded their outdoor seating and are implementing COVID precautions. Such a lovely breakfast spot. Eggs benny is so yummy, coffee fresh, not bitter, all the staff is friendly and experienced. Watching planes flying over you while eating breakfast is wonderful! Highly recommend. Great date spot! read more

Great service and love seeing the planes up close! The food was really good. My nephew is obsessed with planes and loved sitting outside.

We come here all the time but today was different. The lady who was at the front had an attitude. The Brian's omelette had big uncooked chunks of tomatoes and they ran out of sour cream. Never had that before. I ordered toast with my omelette which came 15 minutes too late after I had eaten my omelette. Then they are advertising that they sell Java bean coffee 14.99 per pound and the lady goes to tell me we don't sell coffee. I have bought coffee before from here and why are you false advertising if you don't sell coffee. Over all bad bad bad. We won't be coming here again. read more

I LOVE WINGS. I grew up going here with my Dad since he always loves spending time at the Auburn airport. Great service, fun atmosphere, and I love every breakfast item I've ever eaten here.
