Downtown Grill

I have only been here once, and it was OK. I know that they have a new menu now, and I plan on going to check it out. But as far as my experience with the old menu– my burger was OK, my shake was OK, the service was OK, but the prices were maybe a little on the high side for what you got (and it definitely was smoky when we walked in). I liked it, but didn’t love it. The live music was neat, we weren’t expecting that! The band was great. One thing that I found to be sort of odd was how the tables were set up… there were pub type tables set up around the outside of the room and then these two long tables in the middle. When we walked in we thought that maybe there was some party or church group meeting going on?! But then I only went the one time, so maybe it’s not always like that? Anyway, I really WANT to love this place! I like the idea of a great small, local grill– so I will try to go back and give the new menu a shot to really impress me!

I haved lived in Auburn for the past twenty years and I can say that this restaurant was probably one of the biggest upsets. The food was not very good at all and the place was filled with smoke. The burger patty’s tasted like they were the frozen patty’s that you can buy from Costco for $ 10 for 15 patty’s. I got the cowboy burger and it was terrible! The burger was $ 7.25 for a tiny little over-​cooked burger with what tasted like microwaved bacon even though I was informed they have no microwave, and one piece of cheese, and to top it off the price is only for a burger! No fries, drink, nothing! Are you kidding. This is the worst price gouging I have seen in a long time. The only thing that was good was the live band that was playing, Acoustic S&M, I think their name was. Would not reccommend.
