3 /5 Antone D.: The Real Deal is the Auburn Alehouse which delivers on starters and drinks….cheers!
Let’s kick it off with the atmosphere which is a very nice pub style restaurant with a full bar with seating, outdoor seating, big booths. The restaurant has branding items from magnets to shirts to hats which are
Nicely done!
Now let’s talk service which was pretty smooth. Food and drink delivery was timely with some input when asked for a newer waitress I was impressed.
Let’s go to the Main Event: the Food!! I’ve heard a lot of first hand reviews so I picked based on this. Started off with the Fried Pickles which were amazing, good crunch,
Seasoned to perfection (9/10). The Kids Cheeseburger was delicious and big (9/10). The Fried Chicken which is known signature dishes this is where this review took a turn, I’ve had chicken across the world so I have high expectations, the chicken cook was good, the breading needed more flavor and thicker coating since they drowned it in gravy and place on top of the mashed potatoes. Fried chicken (6/10), gravy (8/10) pretty good, mashed potatoes (5/10). The Red Sauce Tacos which were just ok and salty (3/10).
Tri Tip Sandwiches which the meat needed work and rest of the sandwich was good (6.5/10). The Side Salad was excellent with crispy cold bowl and Italian Vinaigrette dressing (10/10). Overall drinks yes, food hit and miss. Probably won’t be back to this one unless for a drink. Cheers!!
