Owner Alfred Lee has a winner: Best Hamburger in Auburn CA, probably on a par with the Squeeze Inn in Sacramento.
Currently open for breakfast and lunch, hours are Monday thru Sunday; 7 am to 3 pm.
With the reputation they've been developing, I could imagine that DINNERS will be coming soon.
The varied lunch menu contains an assortment of appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, and (of course) BURGERS.

I was a big fan of the original Mr. Pickles in San Mateo. That was 10 years ago. Sadly, the chain is not quite on a par with the original family-owned shop. For a real meaty sandwich in Auburn CA, you need to try Max's Deli.
However, the bread at Mr Pickles is very high quality. When they run a 2-for-one coupon, I'll scrape out all the meat into one of the sandwiches, and then take the 2nd empty roll home.
I'd rather pay $1 more and get a real deli-style pastrami sandwich at Max's. Even with the 2-for-one coupon: two pastrami sandwiches at Mr. Pickles have less meat than ONE sandwich at Max's Deli & Catering Co. My Restaurant Observations Price Range:

Maria's is the second best Mexican restaurant in Auburn. She has specialties that are excellent, but there are no "sopes" on the menu. My wife is from Mexico, and she prefers El Portal, but Maria's would be our second choice if El Portal was closed. My Restaurant Observations Price Range:

Although the food quality is excellent, the place needs to turn the radio volume down during the lunch hour. One cannot have a pleasant lunch conversation when classic rock radio (along with the annoying commercials) is blasting over the house speaker system.
My other valid complaint: hamburgers need to be cooked to order. If someone wants a Medium Medium Rare burger (pink but not bloody), that should be available. Health codes only apply to Jack-In-The-Box burgers.
The "Junior Caveman" sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries......yummo! The food is excellent, as long as you stay away from the dried out, overcooked burgers. My Restaurant Observations Price Range:

Over priced fish taco place....would be much better if they had a rest room....................How did the City Of Auburn allow a food place to open without a bathroom, you ask?......................Because "Joe Caribe" is a Take-Out place, not intended for eating at the establishment...........................Yet, there is an abundance
of stools, at a counter which extends across two walls, seating 8 persons.....................Not only that but the service is rather crappy when you consider that I asked for ice water and got a cup of water with no ice............As take-out food, its OK from a taste perspective--- and would earn 2.5 stars despite being rather pricey....................Not having a bathroom is INEXCUSABLE............. the lukewarm tap water was the final straw---NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

The Ponderosa is a throwback to kinder and gentler times, right down to the old fashioned jukebox filled with C/W tunes from a bygone era.
Our fondest memories of early foothill wandering was stumbling on to the Ponderosa after a long day of rafting/bridge jumping on the nearby North Fork of the American river.
Still family owned and operated by the Velicans, the Ponderosa has down-home grub with reasonable prices.
Highly recommended if you're in Weimar, Colfax, Applegate, or traveling on I-80 and looking for an out-of-the-way place that is easy on the pocketbook.
Best bets are the Chicken Wing appetizer, the Pork Chop platter, and the gargantuan steaks. My Restaurant Observations Price Range:

When you are someone planning a private party, chances are you don't want to use your home, if there are more than 50 guests attending...... Or, if you're planning a kiddie birthday party and want to have a convenient and easy-to-find location.........I've lived in the Auburn area for nearly 2 decades and have held many private events in this facility, most of which were birthday parties for my daughter.......Consequently, budget-minded event planners in Auburn, CA should take another look at this clean and tidy rental hall for up to 120 persons...............................The people who rent the hall are very easy going. You give them $200, and a cleaning/security deposit of $125, and they gives you the keys on the Friday before the event. Compared to the DeWitt Center or the Moose Lodge, the Applegate Civic Center Club is pretty reasonable in cost, for a place seating close to 130 and having kitchen facilities..................For your $200 (net cost), you get a very nice place in Applegate CA (very close to Auburn CA), with plenty of parking for your guests.............................................
An adjacent county park and tot lot, ensures plenty of indoor and outdoor possibilities for your child party events..................................................................The kitchen has been remodeled and there have been new floors put in, and other improvements to windows and acoustics................The reason Applegate is ideal for a party's location is the ELEVATION (2,100 feet above Flatlands)......in the winter time, you get sunny 60-65 degrees F, while Sacramento is freezing in the fog! In the summertime, Applegate is a balmy 98 degrees while Sac-town swelters at 106. It cools down faster at nite...................................................Meanwhile, your event guests inside the Applegate Civic Center Club are enjoying the comfort of a brand new heating and air conditioning system that was recently installed by the members of the Applegate Civic Center Club, a non-profit organization. So when you're renting this facility keep in mind that you are making a contribution to the continued success of this fine organization.
