Reviews for The Auburn Hotel
Vahid Shahani
Visited Auburn Hotel for steak night with a group of four. Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. It seemed like they were short on staff, as service was noticeably slow. We had to ask a couple of times to get our drinks frist, and the wait for food was excessive. To top it off, they mistakenly gave our order to the next table, which added another 10 minutes to our wait. While mistakes happen, we appreciated the complimentary dessert they offered to make up for it, and the waitresses were amazing—super friendly and attentive. However, the steak was disappointing. The taste and cook were 1/5. You could distinctly taste the burnt flavor, likely from gas instead of charcoal, and there were no sauce options offered. Sadly, this took away from what should have been a good steak night. Thank you 🙏

The Auburn is another great example of effort being put into an historic building and turning it into a charming pub. The staff were great and very easy to talk to, making great suggestions on food and drink choices. The food is of decent quality, but we had an issue with some rare steak being well done and a few other mix ups. I do recommend visiting though.

We came by on a Sunday for the petting zoo and what a great experience with the kids. We haven’t been back for a few years and was surprise to see the revamp of the property with an outdoor playground added and the Pavilion building. Food was a little pricy though with mains generally over $30. But the staff were great and service was very quick. Booking is 100% recommended and we will be back again.

Staff are fantastic, atmosphere lots of laughs good music, review based purely on food quality considering prices. Check update and photos with captions. Updated review: 18/11/24 Straight up apologetic to the staff member who served our table we have been through some trauma recently (the school incident I have been very stressed) and I did apologise face to face as I have never spoken to hospitality staff like that. I actually usually ask how many staff are on and tip for the whole team. Oyster kilpatrick finally Whoo, however barely any sauce and bacon was a tad rubbery and chewy, I do hope to go back again and have it again. I ate it because I hate food waste better in my belly than the bin! 🥰 We asked for house red and house white, I said Chardonnay if possible and was not corrected that it’s not a house (see the picture for an $18 glass of wine…) the bartender side eyed me when I was trying to order like I was a thorn in her side. We asked for replacement of chips for mash. Didn’t happen so we were charged for a side of mash plus the chips on the plate and told they don’t replace it anymore. Don’t ask for a hard copy of the menu, we were told it’s old and they don’t do most of that anymore, which is disappointing especially as elderly and disabled people I eat with can’t use QR. All in all it’s good to go there, playground for kids, sports bar, we will be back because it’s convenient.

My sister and I had one of the best nights out with our kids, in a long time. Bubbly atmosphere, great food, excellent service, and a playground for kids! We usually have to go to suburban pubs with average food and atmosphere for that. We'll definitely be back.
