As usual, our meals were great. We used to live across the street and were breakfast regulars but we moved and havent been able to get back over there in a couple years. The waitress still remembered us, and my wifes food allergies immediately, which made it extra home-y feeling. In case anyone wonders, I got the meat lovers omelet and my wife got the Greek scramble. They were both delicious!
The delivery thing should be taken down especially if there hasn’t been a delivery driver. I tried ordering today and it said delivery was available and instead when I ordered through the online ordering on the Kostas website it took my money but then rejects my order. This has happened twice to me now the website says it’ll take a few hours to receive your money back when you call them they tell you it’ll take 2 days to receive your money but the last time it took a week for me to receive my money back. If there’s no delivery driver that should be put on the website so this don’t continue happening.
This is one of the more popular places in Auburn. Always good food good verity nice people . Me and my wife eat there often when were in Auburn.
The breakfast is awesome. Does not disappoint.
Food was awesome, ,First time here, was excellent,friendly staff,
Lucky to have found it, Greeks of course... so kind, service 5 stars, the food was to die for, rich and tender homemade taste. Perfect stop while in Auburn!!! 🤗🍽🍹
Overdone sirloin ordered medium and was like cutting a piece of leather! Never go back!!!😡 I shouldve gotten a discount at least if not comped!!!
Great place to eat! The variety they offer is awesome. Ive been there many times & liked every dish I ordered. The Cajun chicken tortellini is amazing! The menu is perfect for all different people.
They didnt give me my salad they didnt give me my bread they serve me shrimp scallop fettuccine alfredo first and tell me my salad never came that the pasta was done first. Not sure how that is so. Salad a a quick prep. Ill give the pizza was amazing.
Everyone really friendly and helpful . Food was good and had plenty salad and chicken and biscuits . Mom grilled cheese and veg beef soup all was good.
I understand the short staffing and all that but approximately 40 minutes to wait for lunch, (hot roast beef was Luke warm) and to have several different servers?
Always good food and service.u wont be hungry after!
Food is always great and a big portion. I only come here for breakfast.. great food.
Everything was delicious. Good service and reasonable prices
First time at Kosta’s and we will be going back. My husband and I had the special chicken & biscuits with real mashed potatoes and homemade biscuits and it was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Prices were good.
What an absolute fantastic meal and service as always ...great atmosphere and the food is off the hook good...
Sent back the fish tacos because it was made with frozen fish parties. Not what I was expecting since it was on the specials menu. Once I got the bill the owner charged me full price for my soup instead of an upcharged. He made his money and lost a customer. Owner greed made me walk away.
My mom and I had a.nice quite brunch. Thankyou
Order pizza personal size and I was surprised it was very good just like I like it. Not over cheeses and crust was thin crispy. Thanks to the wait staff .
Breakfast was delicious. However home fries did need some seasoning ..salt and pepper pretty bland. But over all really good food and service was great
My favorite spot to grab lunch during the work week! The food is always delicious and the staff always greet me with a smile!
A major goto place for date nights! The staggering is very polite and the food is amazing. The experience is top notch everything is clean and sanitary. They havent messed up my order once in any of my many visits. I cant reccomend this place enough its amazing!!! 10/10
They took us in within minutes. They had to set tables up for a party of 9. Food was excellent. Service was just a little slow due the size of our party, but no regrets.
Good food and a decent price point.
We attempted to order lunch for the company I work with on several occasions. The first time the food took 30 mins longer to cook than expected, ultimately making everyone’s lunch late. The second time they refused our business. Saying that they couldn’t split the check for multiple credit card orders. When we asked to speak to the owner, John, the waitress didn’t put us on hold fast enough. We heard the owner in the background saying that he didn’t want to talk to us & they were short staffed.. needless to say, that’s all it took & A-Verdi will never attempt to order here again.On a personal side (and the reasoning for the 2 star review), I’ve been there with my now husband multiple times. Aside from the slow service, the food & pricing is always amazing.Overall, just wish that we didn’t have the bad experience on the company side.. all of the employees love their food.
I swear every time I give this place the benefit of the doubt. Ordered a huge online order only to only get half of what I orderedZ I already waited an hours and a half for the food to be delivered only to get half my order. I called them back and told I would be charged for whatever THEY Didn’t put through the computer. Also I would be entitled to wait another hour or so for the rest of my food to be delivered. Never again
Heck of a philly cheesteak and great wings !!!Happy retirement Tim!
Its usually only good when i sit in. If i dont, and i get it delivered even right down the street its usually not that appetizing. The staff is super friendly though. The owner seems like an understandable person, and when i do sit down its always a great experience!
Excellent service and the food was outstanding! I will go back often!
They have good food however they do not have good staff. The owner himself curses at customers when he is frustrated! I own restaurants myself and that is for sure not professional, I will be sure to let all my family and friends know never to eat from that restaurant again!!
Always very good. Speed is great got us seated quickly.Waitress was awesome and fish fry was a huge portion. Bread was tasty. 1st place I would recommend. Thank youBack dec 18 at 1230 ordered fish dinner and my son ordered a burger. Everything was awesome and the waitress was very nice. Left her a well deserved tip Thank you and Mary Xmas
With our busy schedule, we have not been in quite awhile. As usual incredible service, and the food was fantastic. The portions where huge, you will not leave hungry!! For what you get, it is a phenomenal value!! Great to see that they still remain like this. Cant say that about too many others in the Restaurant business today!!
Always great omelets and service was quick and efficient!!! Thanks Cindy 😊
Disgusting place, My fork had old crusted food in between it yuck... Also a long straggly hair in my French onion soup. The French onion soup was not made well... big chunk of cheese plop in the middle. Customer service was mediocre. Please do better and I may change my rating. Until then 1/5 stars 🤢👎
Waitress waits on us and takes order. Order comes out and my scalloped potatoes and ham were cold. Called on waitress and told her my food was cold and asked her to nook it. She never came back out with it. We waited 20 minutes and asked for our check. Also husband never got his macaroni salad with his chicken wings that were very dry.
This guy is super shady. I ordered off the special list my meal came with a salad. When I get the bill I notice a discrepancy so I ask the waitress about it, at which point I was accosted and told it is in the menu that salad dressing is a upcharge. What kind of nonsense is that? Ive been here a few times because its the only diner that serves dinner (if you dont count Hunters and I dont) and there is always something sketchy.
Cant go wrong with anything here.
Well I came here because of the picture of the French Onion soup in the pictures on Google. An all I can say is mine came out looking just as good if not better then the picture. An let me tell you it was even better tasting then it looks. Then my salad came out it was fresh an good. But kicker was when the main food came out. It was HUGE all the portions. One meal was enough for 2 people! Only complaint I have is these people are clearly trying to make me Fat because the food was Soo good an you sure get your moneys worth on the meal size!
Simply asked how long the wait list was to be seated,and told the reception girl we had been waiting 15 minutes and asked how much longer,she said another 15 minutes and I asked her to remove me from the list and thank you. When the owner Ridley through up his hands and told me not to give his girls a hard time, which I certainly did not,John Gotsis is a sorry excuse for a restaurant owner and a poor excuse for a human being.
The food is good but you need to watch out for the wait staff. This one lady Jenna was our server and she is as rude as they get. Not friendly at all wouldn’t even refill our beverages she gave us attitude when I wanted a new soda mine was empty. The reason for the three stars is because you will enjoy the food but if you get a lady named Jenna run!!!!! They need to fire her immediately.
Id like to say horrible service ..but we didnt even get any ..got seated then ignored for twenty minutes..if they were busy Id get it but with 10 cars in the parking lot..Ill never go back
Went there yesterday. Got spaghetti n meatballs, meatballs were perfect, not mushy or spices n served with plenty of sauce n not buried in cheese. Got chicken sandwich for my mother in law n she enjoyed it too n mashed taters were good. This is our third visit there n always good, gotta try the pizza next, just wish it was 25 miles away. Only disappointment was the slaw, little soupy, oh well,we will return.
Good food with reasonable prices. We were seated close to the kitchen and could hear the staff yelling at each other, using the F word. We have a young child so we were not happy with that.
Great atmosphere and great company! Been here twice and out the both of those times it was incredible! From the moment I sat down to the moment I paid and left the stool. The waitress/bartender was the right amount of attentiveness where its not to nosey/obtrusive or avoiding you like the plague. The food was good and paired great with the beer on tap as well
The food and service is simply the best! Ive just tried to finish the scallop & shrimp Alfredo dinner.it was cooked correctly not overdone like other places. It was more tasty too. The portion is so big I had to take a lot home. I will definitely see them again! !
High end restaurant quality food. Very delicious and flavorful. This is the type of food you find at very expensive high dinning restaurants but without the high price tag. We have eaten there probably 50 times this summer and every time it has been a 10 out of 10! I dont know why some people on here are saying it is average food. It definitely is not. The staff knows what they are doing everytime. Having a meal that came out wrong is not a reason to 1 star this restaurant. People make mistakes. That doesnt constitute giving the entire restaurant a 1 star.
I ordered the special. Stuffed pepper and spaghetti. It was so good. I has so much food on my plate I could not eat it all. We were there around 5pm on a Saturday night. Not really busy. Service staff was wonderful. Nice comfortable place for a meal.
Every meal Ive had at Kostas has been perfect! Always plenty to eat and cooked to perfection!
Good food try the gyro 🥙
Its usually our favorite place to go & food is usually very good. We have never had an issue. Well it may be due to being exceptionally busy being Fathers Day but we were very disappointed with our breakfast this morning. It took 15 min to get our drinks which were splashed all over our table when delivered. We waited 50min for our food which was cold when we got it. Orders were mixed. Something I ordered was on another plate & vice versa. We got stuff we didnt order & didnt get stuff we ordered. There were people who were seated after us & had 2 more people than what we had get their food & drinks faster & before us. We did not complain but was overall disappointed with the service & food.
There food is very good and the service was great recommend to anyone.
Good Food but too pricey.
Bacon was under cooked and so was the sausage eggs where ok ,service was ok but not great
Good food, good service. Very friendly atmosphere!
Very diverse menu with some nice choices. Overall the food was above average, and it’s a great spot to watch a sporting event. However, the Service was average. Beer selection on tap did not have a lot of variety.
Nice place to eat. Great food with a live music at times playing. Only issue I had was the last time I went the waitress kinda rushed us out or it felt that way which sucked because we were there for our 25th wedding anniversary. Usually they arent like that.
Excellent lunch stopped in with a friend just minutes ago had a Greek wrap w/frys staff here really friendly good prices...I recommend this place good times!
Great place to eat! First time there and I had the Greek gyro and french fries. It was absolutely delicious. And my wife had a BLT and beef nachos and she loved both dishes. Highly recommended!!
Just average food nothing to write home about. We have tried them now for all three medals breakfast lunch and dinner and each time they made mistakes with our order. The first time the waitress said if she tried to correct our order it might take an hour so I ate what she bought. When we asked if she would discount our order she said there was nothing she could do. Unbelievably we went back to give them a chance several months later only to discover poor service again. Now again after several months we returned. This time
Excellent service. The food is delicious and economically priced. The atmosphere is excellent. My fiance and I enjoy eating here. Definitely a great casual dining experience.
Great food. Friendly service.Good prices. He got chicken riggies and was full with enough leftover for lunch tomorrow. I got a grilled cheese with bacon and fries, came with cole slaw and pickles yum. They even made my irish cold medicine to order. Whiskey, honey and lemon.
Service was very pleasant. The food was great. The serving size was huge!! We have enough for 2 or 3 more meals. Price was more than reasonable, at a normal serving size, but exceptional value given the huge portion that we recieved. Highly would recommend
Nice sports bar,great atomsphere. Good lot,large portions. A problem arose when a hard object was found in my food. We asked for nothing,just brought it to thier attention. The waitress did not believe us and acted funny.we believe it was in a pickle,but not even an apology.
Great place to watch sports or if you just want to unwind. . Food is very good, reasonable prices, staff gets big 👍👍
Visited for lunch with my mom on a weekday; it was busy but there was no wait and Mindy, our waitress, was excellent. The specials were plentiful and we both ordered from that menu; the spanakopita was delicious, the Greek salad fresh, the tzaziki dressing was the best Ive ever had; the chicken tenders were crunchy on the outside with a flavorful coating, tender and moist on the inside with great flavor! Cant wait to go back!
I ordered the special London broil and rice with Caesar salad. I ordered it to be cooked med rare I was served med cooked and the rice tasted starchy but the meat was tasty and of course the bread is good and salad was okay not enough dressing. But I never told them.
Great fish fry. Everything we ordered was great
We went for Sunday breakfast to Kostas a few weeks back and it was honestly one of the worst experiences weve ever had going out to breakfast. We did not get our drinks for almost 20 minutes, the waitress did not take our food order for another 15 minutes and our food took more than 30 minutes after that. We could have understood if they had been busy but they were not. This was not a good experience for us.
My food was terrible. I asked for bbq chicken. When they brought it out I noticed right away that it wasn’t just cooked even that day. I decided I would just eat it anyway. My first bite was cold. I asked the waitress if I could send it back. She was a nice young girl. I decided on ordering a burger. I ordered it medium rare. It came out charred and so over cooked that it was dry in the center. No juices at all. I tried to eat it. I took 3 bites and just couldn’t. I was embarrassed to call the waitress back. I finally did......... I apologized and explained what was wrong. I could see that she was nervous about sending it back. I suspect she might have been yelled at or something. Shortly after her bringing the meal to the kitchen the manager came out. As soon as she saw me as she was approaching the table, She looked as though she recognized me or something. Her facial expression changed from a smile to a look of disgust. I quietly explained what had happened thinking maybe they had someone new in the kitchen. She began to argue with me and speak to me as if I was some kind of jerk or something. I had decided at this point that I was going to eat somewhere else. She then came out with a check. She was trying to charge me for both meals. I was still trying to be quiet but she started to get loud when I disputed the bill. I refused to pay and asked for the manager not knowing she was the manager. Because I ate there frequently for years I knew the owner was usually there and honestly was never aware of there being a manager. Long story short, she threatened to call the police if I didn’t pay. I asked to speak to the owner and was told that he was home for the day. I was forced by the police to pay. I asked for them to show the officer the meals in question and was told that they were thrown out. I vowed that after being a regular customer for 10 years that I would not return. That woman should be fired. The owner should have reached out to me.
This is hands down the best sports bar /restaurant in town. Great food & service. You will never go away hungry at Kostas. Always get your money’s worth and more. Also, the owner goes out of his way give back to the community especially supporting local high school sports. Highly recommended.
Food is good but service is bad. Both dining in and when trying to place an order for delivery. The young woman who answers the phone sometimes is rude and should notnot the person interacting with customers.They consistently get orders incorrect and the prices, for the exact same order, is nearly always different depending on who takes the order. Needs better management.
Stopped in for a dinner out without the kids. Mixed reviews on the food and service. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. Chicken riggies and the beer battered haddock were both good, though the pieces of chicken were a bit dry. Chicken parmesan was extremely dry, and drunken sirloin was bland, as well as the mash that came with it. All in all, the haddock was the best of the night. Service was same way. Some wonderful moments, followed by long absences
Chewy chicken, dry bread, lettuce salad. The only bad meal we have had in Auburn during our week’s stay. Mediterranean chicken sounded great. Lots of food but left three quarters of it. Zero stars would be more appropriate. Never again.
Pretty decent food service is usually great and friendly. The place to go for watching sporting events as well as music in the summer. Delivery available also and open year round. If you want comfort food and cold beer, check them out.
We just left there with a family or 7. We had to get our own silverware and napkins. The food was late. My burger was raw. I always leave a $30 tip on a $100 tab. I gave no tip. We will never go back there.
Very good food. A good quantity for the money. My first time there was a very pleasant experience. Nice wait staff. Will dine there again without question. Tvs all over the place. Just an overall excellent experience.
Kostas just catered our wedding, and I got so many compliments on our food! Not only was the dinner amazing but the service was wonderful, his staff is so professional and everything went very smoothly. With 200+ people, that is no small feat! Whenever we eat at the restaurant, the food is always consistently delicious, and I know I can always count on a quickly served and reasonably priced meal.
Good food and quick , waitress was friendly, nice atmosphere
Awesome local eats. So much variety. Good for personal meetings or bigger groups.
I would like to start with saying what wonderful customer service I received. I ordered this chicken cordon blue which I wasnt happy with dye to temperature. They immediately fixed the problem then comped it on my bill. I will definitely be back. First time I ever had a problem and it was handled perfectly.
This place is a good laid back option for Italian and American pub fare. For sporty types, there are always several different sports playing (today it was golf, bowling, and competitive drone flying). Even though the portions are generous, I wish it were still just a touch less expensive. The sweet potato fries are definitely worth the extra 2.25.
Very nice family owned bar and grill. They have a lot of TVs so chances are great that the game you want will be on. The food is good and the specials the have are decent. I recommend this place to anyone looking to watch their favorite team play.
We enjoyed a great dinner. The price was right and the serving sizes we well worth it. Brought half the meal home. The service was also great.
Dont bother if youre getting food delivered. No care is taken when packaging the food. My toasted sandwich was so wet I was able to wring out the bread. The fries were so soggy my DOG refused them. Some items were missing altogether. They only get two stars because dining in is usually done better than delivery. Dont offer delivery if you completely suck at it.
My first-time but wont be my last!! The service was excellent and the food was so delicious not to mention the huge portions!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! Ill be back!!!
Good atmosphere amazing food big portions good prices. Mask not required at the time of my visit.
The person that makes the food here needs to eat lemon skin and after squeeze the juice in your eyes! How is this place even open for business? Terrible food if I could give you people a -0 I would.
Awesome food and service is always great.
Love their food!
Lived here 2yrs now heard good things and first time eating here very disappointing over priced food even made my son in law sick after a few bites of his chicken parm... 🤢
Definitely FIVE STARS!!! Stopped here for dinner and was blown away by the food! I read the menu but couldn’t help looking around and seeing what others were getting, and everything looked mouthwatering. One woman was brought the most delicious looking CALZONE I’ve ever seen. She cut it in half, and it was stuffed with cheese and meat (sauce brought on the side). I ordered the calzone, which is nearly hidden on the bottom of the menu. If I hadn’t seen it at someone else’s table, I would have gotten some other tasty dish, because it’s easy to overlook it on the menu. This was the freaking BEST dish I’ve had in a long time. Buttery, garlic pizza dough surrounding cheese, pepperoni and sausage stuffed into every “corner.” It’s so big that I could only eat half and took the rest home. For $9.99 I got a superb dinner at the restaurant and then another meal the next day! The crowning glory of Kosta’s, though, are their desserts!!! All desserts are homemade. At our table we all ordered and shared slices of lemon meringue pie, chocolate pudding pie, coconut custard/cream pie and carrot cake. Every single dessert was like a bit of heaven! As much as I loved my calzone, I would go back to Kosta’s just for the desserts! The chocolate pie (and really all the offerings) is made with such high quality ingredients that I believe you could serve it at a 5 star restaurant in NYC. I cannot recommend Kosta’s high enough!That was the food. The decor and furnishings are what you’d expect from a family style restaurant, and the prices are great for a family budget. Also, the wait staff was wonderful and very attentive.Do yourself a favor and at least try it once. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
I loved this place. I found it online as I was attending the Owasco Lake Father’s Day Car Show and wanted to take my dad out to lunch. They have every food item you could imagine. My dad loved the chicken rigges. I look forward to going back and trying different menu items.
You sure get your moneys worth. Food was excellent
They put in the extra details when delivering. Pasta was delicious, pizza was made really well, thin crust and alot of toppings. Will go again!
Great food- Wonderful staff. Amateur live music acts. I would recommend some new acts to draw more customers. If you read these - I would recommend all of the following: Ende Brothers, Sam Swanson , And Xarika Suffradini. Or you can reach out to the Anything & Everything Orchestra and they will put you in contact with the right acts
Took extremely long to get served. Food over cooked. They are in desperate need for good kitchen staff!
My ordered was prepared wrong and it was truly a disappointment. The waitress was kind and returned the dish which was kinda fixed by the chef. However, an after-the-fact fix is not the same as the correct ingredients being sautéed together to create the perfect blend. In fact, ordering the Chicken Apollo is the reason I dine at Kostas. This clearly was not a mistake by the waitstaff. What the chef made was called a chicken toss I think. Next time Ill ask who the chef is before ordering. I personally dont think I should have been charged for the meal.
Idk how they are when dinning in, but their delivery is horrible. I ordered boneless wings. There was hardly any sauce on them. Then ordered the NY strip steak and it was raw and they forgot the side salad. Not ordering from them again.
Kostas is great! The restaurant is nice and the food is always good. The bar staff are friendly and courteous as well. John spends a lot of time showing his dedication to the establishment.
The variety and quality of food as this place is fantastic ! Great atmosphere, numerous TVs. Any issue is immediately corrected by the owner, John. Try the pizza, Greek salad, or the club sandwiches. You will not be disappointed.
The food was very good and decent service
It must be said Ive never had a bad meal here,portions are always huge,service always fast,chicken riggies are amazing...satisfying for me and the family consistently
Went in today looking for some good comfort food, and lasagna fit the bill!I was there after the lunch rush, so plenty of seating choices and generally quiet atmosphere.
Waitress was cursing the time as she ran around. When we got our food the baked potato was cold and the steak was burnt. Then the kicker was the steak was supposed to be $24.95 and on the bill it was $26.40 and the waitress couldnt explain it.
Feels like family.Always super nice servers.Food is reasonably priced.
Great Food and Wonderful staff. I have never had a bad meal here. And they DELIVER!!
My family loves going to this restaurant for our parents birthdays , anniversaries and family dinners from time to time. Nice atmosphere. Good prices and delicious food!
Nothing bad to say at all but wasnt overly impresses with the food, service, appearance and atmosphere. Id certainly visit again at some point and even recommend it to others, but wouldnt go out of my way to do it
Its a good place, I feel its a bit expensive. Great bartender, friendly, good service. Wait staff, are average. All in all, I would go back and have several times.
Had haddock and mac and cheese and the mac and cheese tasted like my Aunts mac and cheese that she tried to make like my grandmothers but She couldnt get the flavors right! Overall good food and nice service.
Great place love it sad that we cant go inside but theyre still serving great food to go love going there during lunch for the quick-serve out front
We started using Kostas online/phone delivery service for our guests and the feedback(no pun intended) was the bomb ! {that means great} ! Good food, good portions, and fast and efficient delivery service. John has taken his successful business and entrepreneurial drive to the next level with gusto ! ευχαριστώ !
Tonight was a evening to unwind a bit after a crazy few days of working events and such at Toro Run Winery. Kostas was perfect. Great hospitality, good time, cold beer*Thanks
Although they have an extensive menu I enjoy their excellent wings and a cold beer in a chilled pint glass. Friendly staff. Huge TVs with all sporting events covered.
Kostas is a great Tavern in Auburn that a friend had recommended. They have several TVs for sports lovers and the atmosphere is fun. Great drinks and food. Would highly recommend!!!
The service was very slow. Good prices with big portions of food. Food is just ok.
Food was goodService was goodPlace could use some TLC cleaning
GREAT! Very congenial n fast service, food was very good, as usual. Nice selection on menu n great that breakfast items available till 4pm
Lobby. Is good, and hot. And prices are very reasonable. Our waiter was a tall young man we have had before, And very nice.
Kostas has a big menu with a bunch of different options, it’s easy to find something you like! Takeout has been a breeze too since the pandemic began.
Hair in food!!!! I mean bad, like the hamburger patty was tangled around the hair coming out of the patty! An on another dish wed ordered was a small black hair looked like a dog hair under the gravy. Grossed out the whole family!
We were passing through town and ordered carry out. The order was wrong. The food that we did get wasnt very good. Definitely over priced for the quality. I would not recommend
The gyros are outstanding, and their deli sandwiches are ridiculously huge. I used to eat breakfast here as a kid, and it was always a great way to start the day.
Sports bar or dining room, you pick. The food is great and so are the people. The pizza is to die for, and the beer is cold!
Even though the public is in a panic due to the current pandemic, Kostas is still putting out great great takeout food and helping keep the community fed. Thank you to Kostas management and staff.
I went on a game night thats my mistake loud crowded good food
Best good food fast in Auburn. Girls and guys are fast, friendly and always on the ball. GREAT PLACE TO EAT WITH MANY GOOD FOOD CHOICES !!! A+A+A+ !!!
The food was great the service was good
Accommodated our small group separate from dining area so we could visit. Excellent food. Excellent service.
Its always great enjoy it a lunch was delicious the fish. Clam chowder. Mac and cheese. Me and my buddy Mike Donovan love the place ,!!!!
Great food! Great service! Friendly people and a relaxing atmosphere.
Very good food with portions worth the price
Comfortable atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, good food, ample portions and reasonable prices. We will go back!
This is an Auburn Institution. Very good food and beer at reasonable prices, great service, many TVs for watching sports, and everyone goes there. Really great place on the north side of town.
Amazing food. Huge dishes. Lets couple of days most times. Service generally great. Owner greets people when hes around which is quite often.
Very good place to eat
Decent place. We went there for breakfast. Everything was fine, but nothing stood out. I would like to try this place out for dinner.
Delicious food with great prices and you get a large portion!! Great atmosphere and a TV no matter where you sit.
Worst food I’ve ever had and i usually eat anything, This place is disgusting. Save your money and your appetite..
Amazing service and great food. I would recommend checking this restaurant out.
Great local eatery...friendly staff, good 🍔!!!
The service was friendly. The food was hot and plenty to eat. Will visit again.
They have great food and services. Love the atmosphere
Many other restaurants worth going to over than this one.Staff is unwelcoming and food is average at best.Red neck wanna be Tullys... (not in a good way)
Excellent food, especially their breakfasts. Fast and friendly service.
Love it here! Great food, Great service, cold beer, dont get much better
Food was very bland and over priced.
Food is good at a reasonable price. Order was brought out with a couple of items wrong. Quickly corrected.
Love the food , friendly atmosphere , great specials and prices

The food is good, but its typical bar food.
Food was poorly prepared and unseasoned. Waiter let out audible UGHHHH when politely asked about my order. Not spending any more money there.
Husband loves their Haddock dinners or liver and onions. I love their Gyros with sweet potato fries. Breakfasts are great as well!
Natalie was a tremendous waitress enjoyed our meal and service
The food was delicious and the waitress was very nice.
Great Food Fair prices awesome experience
Fun time...we were surprised by the menu options, they serve more than your typical bar food. Great place to eat in Auburn
Great food, excellent service and generous portions. I highly recommend it. You wont be disappointed.
Food is always great ! Friday happy hour is a lot of fun. Bartenders Casey and Erin always serve up a lasting good time.
Food was fantastic, super fast service. Service wasnt as personable as I had hoped, but certainly will be visiting again soon!
I love going there to eat. The food is delicious, home cooking and fresh
Maybe not the most in atmosphere, but their motto should be ‘You’ll never go home hungry.’ Huge portions of good down to earth cooking

Excellent food, service, and prices.
On my last visit the food was good. The service was a bit slow. The wait staff was friendly though. I had a Bloody Mary that rocked!
Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, fast service
Motz sticks uncooked. You can find a better Gyro at arbys for half the price 🙅 fries and gravy on the other hand 10/10 so i guess you can be proud of that🤷
Not good food was mediocre. People next to us had a dog with them and allowed it to sit on seat at table not coming back ever and reported to health department.
Had the beer battered fish and the beer battered shrimp. Both were really good. Lots of shrimp and big piece of fish. Would go again.
Wonderful place to eat and drink 😁 service was awesome!
Food was delicious waitresses were very friendly service quick and perfect
I had the best sausage sandwich ever.The only thing missing was a beer to wash it down.
We had horrible service! We had to ask for flatware and our check after waiting 30 minutes. Our waitress seemed to disappear after our order was taken. No one checked on us and no refill on my coffee.
Restaurant w diner menu. Waitress very nice..food fine.Could use filler in cushions in booths.
Had the fish sandwich and mac and cheese fish was over cooked mac salad was good
Meh. Outdated decor. Food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Our server was nice and attentive though.
So many choices! Food is cooked fresh and brought out fast. The waitstaff are all friendly and check on guests frequently.
They food is very good perfect and i really appreciate the service 😊
Food is good. But if ordering a burger their medium is more rare than medium

2022-06-28Drove 40 minutes for dinner and ordered dinner immediately after arriving and sat 1 hour and never received my dinne. Dinner date with my wife and I will never go back. Worst service I ever had! Unbelievable. Never have I ever experienced service like that in my entire life. Never will I refer this establishment to anyone ever! They tried to cook my dinner on the fly after they realized that my original server never put my dinner in.
