The Mason Jar - Auburn

I took my whole family to eat here and the service was amazing. I have come to eat three times and not once have a regretted eating here. Keep up the great job! I enjoyed the service and the food was delicious.

Our robotics team visited the Mason Jar. The servers in the party room were great. However, the manager was extremely rude and told one of our parents that she had to leave if she didn’t have other people with her when their was plenty of open tables. We were a group of 40 who looked forward to visiting the Mason Jar each year during the competition at Auburn. We will find another place to eat and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone else. Additionally, all of the milkshakes had to be made in to go cups because they ran out of Mason Jars.

My family, 10 of us are currently eating here. The food is good but a pansy manager can ruin a good thing. They have a milk shake bar with all the fixings. My grandson asked for an ice cream sandwich which is one of the toppings. Our sweet waitress went to get it but returned to tell us that she could not give him one. I inquired to why she said that her manager would not allow it. That disturbed us. We asked to see the manager but he has yet to come out. Our waitress returned with an ice cream sandwich. We did not ask for it to be given to us. We intended to pay for it. However, the manager was going to charge us the price of a loaded milk shake for the ice cream sandwich. So we then got a milk shake minus the toppings.

During our stay in Auburn, Hubby and I were en route to a different restaurant when we happened to pass the Mason Jar and veered back to check it out. The building has such an inviting homey ambiance, with interesting antiquities in the yard and the foyer. Upon entering the dining room, I was delighted to discover red checkered tablecloths, wood paneling, and ceiling tiles covered with children's art. The Milkshake Bar has a snowy Christmas village on display year round. I wanted something healthy for dinner and was very pleased to find the southern nutty salad with fresh blueberries, strawberries and candied nuts on a bed of mixed greens and a side of raspberry vinaigrette dressing, all topped with seasoned grilled chicken. The salad was enormous (I took half of it with me in a doggy bag), fresh and just delicious, not to mention reasonably priced at $12.89. Hubby ordered the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries and lima beans for $13.89. He said the food was good enough, especially the Mason Jar's special honey mustard dip. We also ordered a hot peach cobbler for dessert and were astonished at the size of it more than enough for two people and priced at $3.75, barely half of what we pay for dessert anywhere else. We ended up taking leftover cobbler back to our hotel. Service was delightful, and Alexis was very attentive. The restaurant wasn't busy yet before 5:00, so we didn't wait long for our meals to arrive. The only issues we encountered was no decaf coffee available with dinner, and the milkshake station was closed due to a staffing shortage. We'd stop in again if we returned to Auburn.

We were seated right away. It was such a great atmosphere everyone was super friendly. I was amazed at how fast the food arrived. The chopped steak was excellent! We will definitely be back!!!
