Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Auburn, CA

K A We arrived for an early dinner and were seated as soon as we walked in. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was filling. And the dessert was presented in such a cute way.

The Raven Warren Its freaking In and Out, need I say more? Always consistent quality and service. I know when I go here. Not only will my food be made great and how I asked, but the store will be clean and staff are friendly as heck. I always wonder where they find the staff that work there cuz they are cookie cutter awesome at times. A single animal protein style with fries and a neo shake is my go to order! So freaking good

Niko OHara Reasonable pricing, no strings on the pins, 20+ lanes. The food is actually really good - we got pizza. And they have a Venom pinball machine! Plus a small arcade with darts, basketball, and more.

Lori McIntosh The Station House is one of our favorite downtown Auburn hangouts—especially when the sun’s out and the patio’s calling. Nothing beats sitting outside with friends, soaking up that Gold Country sunshine, and working your way through their massive beer list. I’m loyal to their buffalo wings—they’re dangerously good. Sometimes a little heavy on the sauce, but that’s just part of the fun. Great food, friendly staff, and the perfect Auburn spot to kick back and stay awhile.

Liza Thomas If you’re looking to book an event for a group of 25 or less, this is your spot. Erica was our host. She took care of all the details. She was consistent with her communication and went above and beyond to make our day special. The entire restaurant staff were so welcoming and helpful. Shoutout to Brie our wonderful bartender. The food is absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. We had the best time. Thank you to all of the Monkey Cat team for making our family celebration a wonderful experience.

Lindsay H Never would have guessed that fish and chips in Auburn would be so good! It was a hot day out and this place had the A/C going. Quick service and nice people!! Old school vibe. Support local businesses :)

Ryan Brown Best burger in Grass Valley / Auburn by far! They make it all fresh, tons of specialty flavors, and you will go home full! Tried it out and my wife and I loved it and were surprised how much variety they had and how flavorful the burgers were. The place was full of art, sports, and nostalgia. The owners are super friendly and create a great atmosphere. Our new favorite.

Ernest Dan (inkjetblue) Authentic wood-smoked BBQ right here in Auburn! The Pit Master delivers with an excellent, tasty sauce. A must-try for any BBQ lover, whether youre dining in or taking it home. Love this place! ❤️

Sue LaCosse I don’t normally eat vegan. I ordered a burger and it was delicious. The patty sides were crispy. The flavor was delightful. Everything was so fresh. I came in with a gift certificate, not knowing that the place had changed ownership. The new owner was so gracious to accept the certificate I had. I don’t get in this area often, but when I do, I will be sure to come here again. I would recommend Nectar to anyone whether you’re vegan or not.

Moksha Rao Incredible find on our way back from a hike in Colfax. We got the chicken and beef kabob plate, falafel, pita bread - everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. The pita bread came out nice and warm, and the falafel was the best item on the menu. The service was efficient and prompt, and the girl behind the counter was super friendly. Highly recommend in you’re in the area and in the mood for Mediterranean food!

Bill Theroux II This place is a gem! The best garlic fries I have ever had. The burger was huge and so tasty. The pasta dishes were a hit at our table as well. Service was very attentive.

Jhason Wint My wife and I had the pleasure of enjoying two of the best cups of coffee weve ever had. The food was also incredibly good. We live in Sacramento, and enjoy the opportunity to just go up the hill a few minutes and take in the mountain air. Auburn is such a cool little town. Always had good memories there. Old Town grill is just fantastic. Very family oriented and the service is exceptional. Little small touches to make sure everything looked aesthetically pleasing and tasted great.

Cathy Wright This is ALWAYS a favorite!! Hanami Sushi has authentic Japanese food, my husband lived in Japan for two years and this is his closest taste to Japan. We’ve been going here for 11 years… that says a lot!! Some out our kids moved to Southern California and STILL everyone they come to visit Northern California they have to stop at Hanami Sushi!!

Ernest Dan (inkjetblue) A fantastic and reasonably priced all-you-can-eat Sunday buffet. I loved trying the goat, but they also had great chicken, beef, and fish dishes, plus a salad bar, masala tea, and bonus ice cream! ❤️

Sarah Wheeler My step-dad was pilot and airplane guy, so I have been coming to this spot for the past 20 years. It is lovely to sit on the patio and watch the planes come and go. I always go for lunch, and the food is consistent and delicious. I love the half sandwich and half Connie Salad with a side of fries. Definitely a cherished spot!
