Bogey's Public House

Biggest problem here was service. It was slow, really slow. From what I could tell, the place wasn't that busy, so it doesn't make sense. It took 25 minutes for my sandwich to come and how I know they messed up, people that came in 10 and 15 minutes after us that also got sandwiches were served the same time we were. Even worse, I ordered a side salad, which I hoped would be brought right away, it wasn't it was brought with the meal, so again, slow service. The food wasn't bad, the salad was fresh and short of being light on the dressing, it gets high marks. Fries were hot and crisp and my sandwich was piled high with me. I had the dip and unlike the photos on the website, my meat was not thinly slices or slightly rare as you would expected from true roasted beef. In the end, I could honestly give the food a solid B, but when you put it all together, the place came up so short of expectation that it just made me realize, it's a golf course, not a true eatery.

Invited to lunch by a forestry technology company in Auburn. Drove to the Auburn Golf Course and found Bogey's inside. Beautiful sunny day so we sat outdoors.There were 6 of us for lunch - everybody got something different - it all looked really delicious. But I'll speak for myself in this review, I had a chicken burger with sidewinder fries and dipping sauce.My recommendation is to drop-in and give it a try if you're in the area. Really a great place to enjoy lunch surrounded by the beauty of the golf course.

I ate at Bogey's for lunch and dinner this week to see if the experience was the same (it was similar). Let's start with the positive aspects of the restaurant. It looks nice inside with TV's (games on display), different heights and types of seating, full bar with liquor, walk up bar window for golfers, clean, organized, and a good atmosphere. Every employee that I encountered was very nice, they smiled, were polite, and appeared to like their jobs. The patio was nice and it had a great view of the rolling golf course.For lunch, the parking lot was packed but that was because everyone was out playing golf. There were only a few people in the bar/restaurant area so it was nice and the noise level was low.At dinner, the parking lot was also packed but the golfers were finished so the bar/restaurant was pretty full. The employees were great even though they were much busier. I was so happy about the service that I tipped over 20%. Now for the disappointing aspects of this place. As far as I can tell, all of the meat was frozen. I asked about the wings and other chicken and the waitress said that it was indeed frozen. Frozen food just doesn't taste as good as fresh food. This part really burns me up, the happy hour menu is a "Not so Happy, Happy Hour!" A happy hour (HH) is supposed to contain deals to bring you into the establishment. The items are listed in a way that most people won't immediately see that they aren't getting much of a deal. Here are two examples and you can see the prices on the menu photos that I added. You really have to pay attention to the details. They lower the portion size on the HH items so you don't realize that you aren't getting a deal. The sliders on the HH are $6 for two ($3 per slider). The regular menu gives you three for $9.99 ($3.33 per slider). You are only saving $0.33 per slider. The wings on the HH are $6 for four ($1.50 per wing). The regular menu is 1-lb (six wings per waitress) for $10.99 ($1.83 per wing). You are only saving $0.33 per wing. That's not a deal! Do you guys see a pattern? $0.33 is not an accident (and not a deal or worth HH). I was told by the waitress that the other items are smaller than regular menu so you aren't saving any money. If the owners are too cheap to be able to afford a HH than dump the menu. I can't be the only person that's noticed.The noise level at dinner time was like I was in a packed nightclub! I believe it's because of the wood interior and the talking level of the customers. They really need something to absorb some of the sound. I wouldn't be able to eat another dinner in there with that noise level.The patio is great except for one main issue. They have two "No Smokin" signs which is a good idea but they are handwritten and spelled incorrectly. This isn't a dive bar, it's a nice golf course bar/restaurant. Everyone was dressed in nice casual clothing (polos, nice shorts, slacks). The owners can buy a two pack of professional no smoking signs on Amazon for $12.99! Use the rip off HH profits to pay for the no smoking signs.This place is owned by the people that also own Oddfellas in downtown Auburn. They are opening another Oddfellas in Tacoma so I'm not sure why their last King County health inspection was so bad. They only received an "Okay" rating (which is really bad) on 4/16/19. It was for incorrect hot and cold holding temperatures. Improper food handling will make your customers sick. You guys already own a restaurant and should know better. The food has to be prepared safely. Also, shame on you for the less than honest HH menu. I'm not going back until I see a better health inspection report online and the HH menu is updated. Waitresses/bartender- You were all great, I know the above wasn't your fault! I'm giving this place three stars. The wait staff deserves five stars and the food/HH menu deserves one so I'm left with giving a three star rating.Additional Comment After Business Reply: You do not have a "fantastic record" with the health dept. People don't have to take my word for it, they can look for themselves online. All of the inspections are posted for the public to read for free. It's under King County Health Restaurant Inspections. You just type in the restaurant name and click history. Yes, most of your inspections are great but the four inspections that were negative are about food safety. I only mentioned your very last inspection, which was bad. I just stated the facts of the inspection. The county states that "The rating is based on the average of high risk violations from the last 4 routine inspections." There are only four ratings and yours is next to last.I do want to add that I had the Cobb salad for lunch and it was great minus the chicken. The size and price was a plus. I also posted great pics of the establishment in order to support the business. It has great potential but needs some changes.

We decided after a year to check this place out since we can walk there and we are always looking for a good breakfast place or a good happy hour place. It is located on a very quiet golf course.Thee service was good but there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Food was ok, not fabulous but ok. They could improve quality a bit but we weren't expecting much so I guess that is why we weren't "let down". We are going to try a happy hour and maybe to see what it is like when they have live music so stay tuned as this review may change.

We always love to come here. The food is always great, beautiful scenery and awesome service. There is one waitress that does an outstanding job. Wish I knew her name. Fun place to come in the nicer weather as well, lots of outdoor seating.

The servers and staff are amazing here. Customer service is always great. The food has been on the decline for several years. Food is good but very disappointed at lack of corned beef on my sandwich. 60% bread / 20% dressing and Sauerkraut 20% corned beef if that... $12.00... I had the same experience with the French Dip a couple months ago. Manager did offer me a new sandwich to go which was admirable but I declined. I will now eat elsewhere before and after golfing there... I love to always support local business but they are making it very difficult.

Bogey's is a great place to meet up after a round of golf or just for drinks with friends! It's a great to just hang out and have a cold beer!!

A Club Sandwich is always my go-to if I decide to eat at the clubhouse after finishing a round of golf. The last time i played at the Auburn Golf Course, i accidentally locked my keys in the car, so while waiting for a rescue, I decided to grab lunch inside Bogey's Public House. Anytime I'm having a post-golf lunch, it's always an Arnold Palmer and a club sandwich or in this case, The Clubhouse Sandwedge. I just love a play on words. This sandwich was massive and it comes with onion rings. i could barely finish half of it before taking the rest home. It's everything in a club: ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, and more on a toasted sourdough. It's everything you want in a club sandwich. It's a good club and for $14, it's worth it.Even though it's hard to mess up a club sandwich, I'm giving this place 4 stars for the service. The bartender/server was very friendly, attentive, and my Arnold Palmer was never empty. I appreciate good service. Next time I play Auburn, I'll be back for another Arnold Palmer and a satisfying lunch.

We have been coming to bogeys for many years. After a law due to Covid etc. we visited tonight for my father's 97th birthday. The food was unbelievably bad. The fish checks were directly taken out of the frozen food box, as well as the fries and onion rings. They have gotten rid of their happy hour appetizers which pay used to really enjoy. The grounds itself had garbage strewn all over and the tables did not appear to be clean. We had nine people there and if we had known this I had a time we would've taken our business elsewhere.

(July 18, 2020) so we played and afterwards we hit up the restaurant for a beer and maybe some lunch ... one of my buddy left me some cash for his part and took off, another buddy went in to pay his tab and left .. the other one, didnt see him leave but I assumed he paid his tab and left ... so I was the last one to leave, asked for the bill and it was for over $100 bucks, WTF !!! I know I had my one buddy for his one beer and food and I know my other buddy didnt skip on his bill, so what happened???I paid the bill, text my buddy and he said, when he went in, the waitress told him it was already covered....Anyway, service was good, food was good but definitely watch out who or what your paying for ...
