We were seated by the window and had a nice view of the antique market going on that weekend.  Though the place was somewhat noisy, it was pretty relaxing for us.<br \/>\nThe <a href=\"http:\/\/auburnalehouse.com\/pdf\/SPRING%20MENU%20FOR%20WEB.pdf\">menu<\/a> offers sophisticated versions of American classics.  For example my burger was made with Kobe beef.  Prices are a little high with appetizers averaging $8-9, sandwiches for $9-12 and main dishes from $10-25.  But portions are very large and you feel you get your money&#8217;s worth.<br \/>\nAs I mentioned, I ordered the Kobe burger, a 1\/2 lb patty that comes with bacon, avocado, American cheese, tomato and lettuce ($11).  I substituted the fries for onion strings ($1 additional).  The burger was cooked a little bit browner than the medium-rare I ordered, but it was still very juicy.  The meat itself was very tender, but I otherwise could not distinguish a special taste to the kobe beef.  The whole thing worked very well together, and I enjoyed it.  The crispy onion strings were severely underseasoned, but they were good with some salt added.  In all, I enjoyed the dish and would order it again.<br \/>\nLola had the BBQ pork sandwich ($8.50) with a side salad.  The BBQ pork was excellent, very flavorful with an intense BBQ sauce.  I&#8217;d definitely order it myself.  She liked the salad which had a simple vinaigrette, she particularly enjoyed the arugula and felt the greens were quite fresh.  She also couldn&#8217;t finish the whole thing.<br \/>\nWe decided to skip dessert as they are all quite pricey ($7.50!).<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll definitely eat here again next time I find myself in Auburn.<br \/>\nAuburn Alehouse<br \/>\n289 Washington Street<br \/>\nAuburn CA<br \/>\n530-885-2537<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/auburnalehouse.com\/\">http:\/\/auburnalehouse.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"alehouse.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/blog\/alehouse.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/food\/rest\/other\/\">Restaurant Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lola and I spent a nice weekend in the Gold Country which culminated with a late lunch in Auburn.
