One Forty Grill — Restaurant in Auburn

The food is so so, not bad but not too yummy for the price. The service instead is horrible. For the service there should be negative score here. First we asked for two drinks and the girl brought only one and to the wrong person. We told her about the other drink and she brought it very late and the glass was not even half. Then she brought food for everyone except one person at the table. She came and mention two times that they are cooking the last order but finally we learned that they forgot. When the checkout was done it was wrong. She put one of the orders in plus and almost doubled the price, she charged for one drink in plus and when she was asked about it, she mentioned that they have two types of that drink however in the menu they don’t have two types she just charged us in plus without telling us about it. She mentioned she is the only one serving when we got there and we understood but her managers should know that she was letting the clients waiting, mixing up the orders and all the above and also she was cleaning the tables with a cloth and cleaning substances and then with same unwashed hands she will go to the bar or the kitchen and bring drinks and food to the tables. Nasty! Shame and the prices are not cheap. Never will eat...

This place really came through in a clutch. We were looking for a nice restaurant to have a late lunch after my son’s Air Force commissioning ceremony. Most places were either closed between lunch and dinner and/or could not accommodate our party size or the various food allergy concerns we had for our guests. Easy ADA accessible entrance for my elderly parents who use ambulatory assistive devices. We were able to celebrate, have an amazing lunch and enjoy a great beverage selection. First decent chocolate espresso martini I’ve had in ages. Our server Grace was true to her name and was a blessing. Prices were reasonable. They were able to handle our large party and serve drinks, apps and entrees at a perfect pace. Open kitchen is always a plus. My only regret is that since my son has now graduated from Auburn it may be hard to find reasons to get back but we will make every effort to do so. Well done One Forty Grill! You made our day even more special and you helped us honor and mark our son’s accomplishments. I can’t thank you enough....

What Did I Just Eat?” (To the tune of a bluesy diner jam)

[Verse 1] Walked in hungry, thought I’d feast, The menu claimed a “culinary beast.” Ordered the special — big mistake, Now my stomach’s beggin’ for a break.

[Chorus] What did I just eat? Tastes like sadness wrapped in meat. Is that chicken or defeat? Either way, it’s far from sweet. Oh no… What did I just eat?

[Verse 2] Mashed potatoes looked like glue, Soup so cold, it caught the flu. The steak was tougher than my shoes, Even my napkin felt abused.

[Bridge] The chef must hate the human race, Or learned to cook in outer space. Even ketchup couldn’t save this plate, Should’ve left before it was too late.

[Chorus] What did I just eat? Burnt dreams with a side of deceit. My taste buds admit defeat, I’ll just chew my receipt. Oh Lord… What did I just eat?

[Outro] Next time I’ll bring a snack, Or just eat drywall off the shack. ‘Cause this place gave me the creeps… And a meal that...
