| As residents of the area for over 20 years, we have our favorite spots to dine, shop and things you just have to do in Foresthill! |

| Best Fast Food Burger |
In N' Out: As original Southern Californians we first fell in love with In n' Out Burger in it's original form. Thankfully in the mid 90's the family owned chain made it's way up I-80. This is a BUSY restaurant so be prepared during peak hours to encounter lines (although usually fast moving). |

| Best Burger |
Brookside Grill: This was unanimously agreed upon. Mike makes huge, flavorful burgers that stand out from the rest with their seasoning. The mushroom swiss burger is a favorite along with the spicy peanut coleslaw. They also make monster salads and other sandwiches. Prices run around $12 but you get your money's worth and enough for the doggy bag. |
|||
| Ice Cream |
Tango: Serve and top it yourself for just the right amount of dessert. The flavors run from mouth-watering to too tart but they have a great selection of toppings. Can't beat the price or the perfect decor. |
|||
| Mongolian BBQ |
Sums: Granted they are the only Mongolian BBQ in Auburn - they are the best! We've tried places from Sacramento to Chico and Sum's is number one. It's all about their custom made thick noodles. You get soup, appetizer and soft serve ice cream with your meal. Yum! |
|||
| Grocery Store |
Safeway: Great selection of produce and favorite items. Their deli and bakery is always well stocked and the floral dept has more than just flowers. |
|||
| Mexican Food |
Tio Pepe: Family owned and operated, they serve authentic Mexican food and can customize to your needs. We ordered a custom dish enough times, they actually added it to the menu! |
