Reviews
"Such a variety to choose from, the food is always fresh and delicious. I love Brown House!! (a little spendy but worth it)!"
"I am not real familiar with this place, yes it has been there since for ever and yes I grew up in Pleasant Lake but as an adult I have only been there like maybe twice. So food is great as always, but there was an awkward moment at the window gues I didn't know what I was supposed to do, I didn't know which side to go to lol"
"Fried tenderloin was great. My daughter like her cheeseburger. We finished our meal with sundaes. Delicious. No dine in, but the weather was fine to eat on their patio. A little drive off of I 69, but well worth it."
"The best coney dog I've ever had, I definitely recommend if you're in the Auburn area! Also, all prices are tax included, so if you have 10 bucks, you can get 10 bucks worth of stuff, no extra math needed."
"This is my favorite place in Auburn! It’s classic, modern, everything at once! I was there for a week and I got to try half the milkshakes they’ve had and also the tenderloin, grilled cheese, etc. I got completely obsessed with the cherry chocollat milk shake!"
