Sweet Auburn Brunch

My Sisters in Christ ministry was in town after seeing The Black Nativity. Since our 1st reservation up the street didn’t work, we headed here to Sweet Auburn Burn and OMG me + my 19 sisters were all blessed. The service impeccable, the food UNMATCHED, the quality top tier. I don’t know what y’all waiting for, bcuz Sweet Auburn, yeah that’s where it’s at. I had the catfish w/ zucchini & squash & side salad. Very good

Food was amazing, our server Roxanne was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I would come back! I had French toast and catfish. The catfish was fried to perfection ! My partner had the Salmon BLT. The salmon was juicy and tender. Greatly seasoned. My only down is that it was cold. Please turn the heat up just a little. Upon first arrival we were sure if they were open just cause you cannot see inside at all. The bathroom floors weren’t dirty but they were sticky.

Loved this spot! Great vibes. Good music. Excellent service! The chicken and waffles was AMAZING! Also really loved the crab cakes, but next time will get them with grits instead of potatoes. The potatoes were a bit limp and a too greasy for my taste. I would have preferred the egg be medium well done instead of cooked hard, and it needed a sauce to pair with the English muffin. However I just asked for extra sauce and that was sufficient. Again, the crab cakes were delicious so next time maybe I’ll just get them with grits because they were very thick, tasty, and filling 👌🏼 We very much enjoyed our experience here!

Truly delicious brunch, I got the chicken and waffles. The wings were crispy like you’ve never seen, flavor was out of this world. Drinks were strong and delicious. Salad and home fries were yummy too. Staff were attentive & friendly. Restaurant snd bathrooms were clean with a laid back boujee atmosphere.

We were first-timers for brunch on a Saturday at approximately 1:00 p.m. We were seated immediately as we had reservations, and it initially appeared that our meal would proceed smoothly. However, the service was unfortunately quite slow. We ordered our drinks first and received them approximately 30 minutes later. The second drink arrived with the food. However, one of our drinks was forgotten, and we had to remind the server. We ordered chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits were served first, followed by one order of chicken and waffles. The second order of chicken and waffles then arrived about 10 minutes later. It seemed that all the staff, including the servers and bartender, were having a tough day. However, we still enjoyed ourselves. The music was good, and the volume was just right to talk over. Hopefully they get it together, unfortunately we won't be back.

We were really looking forward to trying Sweet Auburn Brunch after seeing so many great reviews on TikTok. When we arrived, we noticed right away that the atmosphere wasn’t the best — the restaurant could have been cleaner, as we saw trash and food under the tables and the floors looked a bit messy. It wasn’t very busy when we got there, so we decided it might just be an off day for the staff. We didn’t let that stop us from trying the food since we were excited to see what all the hype was about. We started with the fried salmon bites, which unfortunately lacked seasoning. My son ordered the chicken and waffles — he really enjoyed the waffles, but the fried chicken could’ve used more flavor as well. My husband ordered the fried catfish with grits and breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were well seasoned and delicious, and the grits were cooked nicely, but the catfish itself was bland. I ordered the salmon croissant BLT, which came out about 15–20 minutes after my husband’s food. When it finally arrived, it was cold, as if it had been sitting for a while. Our waitress wasn’t very attentive during the meal; although she tried to make up for it later getting the manager, by that time my husband was ready to go. Overall, we really wanted to love this place because of the great online reviews, but our experience just didn’t live up to the expectations. Hopefully, it was simply an off day for the restaurant, but this visit wasn’t what we anticipated.

The food was hot and delicious and very presentational. We really enjoyed and couldn't finish eating it all because it was a lot of food. Our server was so kind and sweet, she kept a smile. I believe we had a 12min wait for our food but who cares it was to perfection, and seasoned. Now the atmosphere was cool but it's going always be loud big talkers everywhere you go so, other than folks wanting their big talk conversations heard and telling lies its ok. I do recommend this dining but be observant coming in as there are a alot of people hanging around.

The Sisters in Christ Ministry had dinner here after a play on Saturday evening. There were a lot of us, and we were welcomed with open arms by the Server Tia. Once the food came out the cook Blue came out and I was able to get a picture. As I love to take pictures, I asked if the owner Anthony could come out and take a picture with the group. The ambiance, staff and music were all on point. I will recommend this place to anyone who loved great food, staff and music.

Let me just start with the good... The food is phenomenal. Everything came out hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. However, the service sucks! Our server was great when she came to our table, but everything was a 20 minute plus wait. After we got our appetizers we had to wait about another 20-25 minutes for plates and silverware after asking two times. We were told they were washing the dishes. We finally just went on ahead and ate the food with no plates because we were tired of waiting. Luckily, it was the Lobster Deviled eggs and they were delicious. I ordered the Island Breeze cocktail. It was very good, but I was a little disappointed that it had no garnish. I personally like my drinks to be dressed up with some type of garnish. Also, my fiancé ordered a sweet tea. It was nothing but sweet water. We told the server this and she said she was sorry because she wasn't good at making tea but would remake it. The remake was a little browner but still did not look or taste like tea. Now back to the service, they really need to work on that. I saw one couple get up and leave because no one came to service them for a long time. For my entree, I ordered the Catfish and Grits. Amazing!!! It was seasoned perfectly and the catfish had a great crunch. The grits are good. The remoulade on my catfish and grits was pretty tasty. I've definitely had better but it was good. My friend ordered the Salmon BLT. She said it was great. It definitely looked good. The bacon on it looked substantial and thick. My fiancé ordered the chicken and waffles. She said it was amazing. The waffle was prepared exactly how she likes it. I tasted the waffle and it was good. It had a bit of a crisp to it but the internal was very tender. I also ordered the Grilled Corn Ribs. Oooh weee they make you wanna call on Jesus. They were so juicy! They had this Parmesan like seasoning on it. I also had the red velvet cake and it was super moist. Just a wonderful, good flavor. All in all, the food was amazing. Our server, who I learned at the end, was also the manager, had great energy, and was very friendly and polite when she came to our table. However, the service is horrible. We asked four times for our ticket before finally getting up and walking to the bar and paying. Additionally, I feel like the place could use a little refresh. The decor is basic. The sound system was horrible and the ceiling was missing a couple of tiles. Also, there is this step down that needs to have a yellow stripe or something to let people know there is a step down. The entire floor is black. My friend said she almost didn't notice it and could have fallen. There is a $200 dollar private VIP room in the back but you get nothing with it, just privacy. No bottle service! That's a bit much. So, do I recommend Sweet Auburn Brunch??? Maybe, if you have nothing but time on your hands, sure! But if you got something to do, this ain't the spot for you.

First, they need to have associated services update their address. Its 171, but doesn't tell you the suite or in G Maps, the "P" is at the end. Very weird. Service is cringe. Walked in and sat for 15 mins. No one asked for drink order, appetizers, nothing. Waitresses walk by extremely casually as though you aren't and haven't been sitting here unattended. They seem to have one track minds, like, a waitress went to clean the table next to us, picked up 2 of the 4 glasses and mozzied into the kitchen, then dragged back out to get the other two glasses and a plate, then went back and came again to wipe the table. But she had to SIT THE FK DOWN to wipe the table. We left. Oh... and we heard the "BYE!" on the way out. Shame part is, this was our first time there and the food looked AWESOME. Oh well.

We were in town for a convention and thought the menu here looked good. It is not a good sign when you walk up to a brunch spot and there is a security guard letting people in. The staff was pleasant but service was slow. We ordered the jerk chicken panini and croissant french toast. The chicken had a good flavor but was definitely not a panini as it came delivered on a soggy hot dog bun that they didn't even attempt to grill. My croissant french toast was actually 2 hamburger buns fried like French toast. The food was absolutely not as advertised and I feel like I paid downtown menu prices for backyard food. 10 out of 10 will not be returning.

Went for brunch with friends. Sat at the bar. Parking was easy since we were there pretty early, 11am. We did street parking..$4. Regarding the spot, I can't give you a review on a full 'vibe'...like I said we were there early but the music was good and staff. Bartender, Kia, was cool and personable. We did order after a while. The food came out piping hot. Everything was accurate. I will say the only hiccup was a discrepancy regarding unlimited mimosas which was rectified so need to go into detail. I would suggest stopping by.

Valet parking was available, 5.00. Not sure if this is only a Sunday offer or there norm. We sat at the bar, stopped for drinks only. All were tasty. Our service was shaky but the kindness and apology helped. They had live music which was amazing! I will have to go back to eat. The name change makes me need to see if the food changed, it was good then.

We stopped in for brunch before heading back to Clt and food was really good and tasty. Service was great and the place looks nice . Highly recommend the Maui Grit Bowl!

We were looking for a new brunch place and came here today and it was amazing! The food, the service, all of it. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious!! The devil eggs appetizer, fried wings, shrimp and grits, cabbage, zucchini and Maui grits!!!! I'll drive back from SC to get some more. The music, atmosphere and service was 15 out of 10!!

There is a lot of positive things to say about Sweet Auburn Brunch. Parking is available by valet for $5 next door to the establishment. Upon entering the restaurant is beautiful but I felt like it could do with a good mopping the floor looks dirty but I wasn't sure if that was "the look" or not. Our server Roxanne did a great job of serving us. I will say I appreciate servers that clear as they go along and had to ask her to collect the menus and clear our appetizer plates. The food was delicious and everything ordered was hot and tasty. Deviled lobster eggs were good however one had a salmon bite on top and was not replaced ( I didn't appreciate that) but it was delicious. The music was a bit loud and not conducive for conversation but after eating we sang and danced and had a great time.

I enjoyed my time with Sweet Auburn Brunch the chicken and waffles are delicious ! The servers were amazing and the ambiance was on 10!

The food was amazing as long as it is completely cooked. I ordered the Crab stuffed Salmon over lobster pasta. It was delicious, on the first try the salmon was undercooked, but they did accommodate me a remake the order. The live music was a great addition to the ambience of the day. Very quaint!!!

Loved everything about this restaurant, the food, the vibes, the music and especially our waitress Tia. She was amazing shoutout to her for coming to check on us and her conversation. Come check it out!!!

The Chicken and Waffles was very good and the bartender Ashley during Sunday Brunch was amazing! The venue's decor was also very nice!
