Awful Annie’s -Food CA (Near Auburn)

Priyanka Mehta Got the chicken and waffles with candied yams. Also tried the mash potatoes and gravy. All was bomb. Took a while to be done but was worth the wait. I’m not usually too into fried chicken but theirs was flavorful and juicy. Excited to go back and try more. The owner was friendly and attentive too

Olwen Puralena Great place for all day breakfast. Appreciated that the waitress closed the front door when she saw I was cold. Food was hot, fresh, well prepared, and of excellent quality. Ill be back!

Tim Goulet If you are in town for family, friends, or just passing through, this spot is nothing shy of a diamond in the rough! This restaurant is the definition of mom and pop. The food and services is put on by the owners, and DAMN can they cook! Had a ribeye that knocked my socks off (I’m usually disappointed when I eat steak at a restaurant because I can usually do it better at home) and my wife and chicken Marsala that was just to die for. Nice cold beer on tap and red wine was above average. Fully stocked bar if you’d like a cocktail. It’s good it all! If I could give more stars I would. 10/10 would recommend!

narae kim I was really looking forward to trying authentic Portuguese food today. Overall, the flavors were on the saltier side for a Michelin-rated restaurant, and the wine list wasn’t very extensive. Corkage is $45. Compared to other Portuguese restaurants I’ve tried in San Jose, a few dishes here are quite close to the authentic local taste. The white sangria was pleasantly balanced—not too sweet—and very refreshing. The blood sausage was chewy, aromatic, and tasted truly authentic, with just the right amount of salt. The duck rice was my absolute favorite. The seasoning was perfect for my taste, and I loved the chewy texture and the rich, layered broth with mushrooms—it was full of depth and flavor. The cod casserole tasted like a gratin, but it was way too salty. If it were slightly less salty, it would have been much better. Still, it paired nicely with the duck rice—but I probably wouldn’t order it again. The tempura beans were crispy on the outside with a nice bite from the beans inside—tasty but nothing special. The house aioli wasn’t the traditional Portuguese or Spanish yolk-heavy version; it was more like the American-style aioli. I would definitely come back for the blood sausage and duck rice—those two dishes are must-tries! Service was excellent—the staff replaced plates, cleaned the table promptly, and were very polite throughout.

Tiffany P We walked by shortly after they opened and they welcomed us graciously even without a reservation. It’s very clear though that it’s best to make a reservation for the future, as this is a very busy restaurant. The staff were very kind, and the food service was quick! Food was excellent and filling, and in my opinion, the prices were fair. Overall a great time. Just a note, I think I would try a different skewer in the future because while the tuna was good, I think it lacked a little flavor compared to the other dishes we ordered.

Angeles Sanchez I had a great experience at this place! The food was fresh, delicious, and came out really fast. The manager was especially impressive—very friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Excellent service all around. I’ll definitely be coming back!
