Wings Grill & Espresso Bar

By luck, I discovered this breakfast/lunch cafe by the Auburn airport. What a pleasant surprise. Wings is an off the beaten path cafe, but well worth stopping by. It's a stones throw (literally) from Knee Deep Brewery. They serve breakfast til 11:30 and lunch til 2pm. I am a pancake lover, and I loved their light, moist pancakes. I had the pancake/egg/meat combo and it was perfect... and quite filling. Get a side dish of chopped walnuts to add perfection to the cakes. The waitstaff was attentive and always ready with coffee top-off's!Wings Grill has an airport view out the back window, as well as outdoor seating in nice weather. There is even a small lawn play area for kids. Parking is ample with its dedicated parking lot. While not a boutique cafe with fancy tableware, Wings is a great local home style casual cafe. Give it a look!

We flew into this cute airport hidden in the mountains, and stumbled upon this cute restaurant. First we had to rotate our big plane to a proper spot, and across the gate we were quietly seated inside. I like the simple short menu choices here. I was very hungry, and ate the entire sandwich. The sandwich was big and delicious. Server was quick and nice.

Flew up for a burger with the fam and met some friends. Pretty tasty. Salad looked good. Generous portions.

You get to enjoy great dining, and watching airplanes, which makes for a winning combination.As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a "Please Wait to be Seated" sign, and you'll be greeted by a friendly staff member. We walked in and were immediately greeted, and asked to be seated on the lovely patio, with a view of the airport. You can sit at any open table. The main dining room in furnished with tables, and, naturally, features aviation decor. On this gorgeous morning in mid-June, there was exactly one dining in the dining room, while everybody else was enjoying the amazing 80-degree weather and light breeze on the patio.From the "Wings Grill Menu," we both went with "Two Eggs And..." and the "And" for us turned out to be chicken fried steak. We both went with potatoes, two eggs fried over easy, and Dan went with cottage cheese, while my choice was biscuits and gravy. We enjoyed a beer for an appetizer... or was it dessert?The highlight of the breakfast was the chicken fried steak, which I can truthfully way turned out the be perhaps the BEST chicken fried steak that I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy, and... trust me... I have many chicken fried steaks under my belt. The chicken fried steak featured a seasoned, tender beef patty, about 6-oz, flattened thin, battered, and fried to a rich golden brown. Wings puts a unique and, for me, a never-seen-before slant on this delicious entree by topping it with jack cheese, bell pepper, onions and creamy sausage gravy. The cheese, bell pepper, onions and sausage gravy made for a simply unbelievably delicious chicken fried steak experience, which I'd never experienced before. All lovers of chicken fried steaks take note!The side of homestyle potatoes was seasoned, cut to small chunks and deep fried to a tender, golden brown with a nice golden crust, with tender, white potato on the inside. Like the chicken fried steak, the potatoes were perfectly fried. The chef at this fine restaurant truly has talent.Both of ordered eggs fried over easy, and the eggs arrived exactly as ordered: Perfectly fried over easy. This fine plate was garnished with a slice of orange and a sprig of fresh parsley to add to the beautiful presentation.My choice of side was biscuit and gravy, which is a side that I rarely resist, as it always enhances breakfast, or any other meal. My side was one small, fresh, in-house made biscuit, covered with the same delicious sausage gravy that enhanced my main dish. Mmmmm! I piled my eggs on top of the potatoes, added a few dashes of Cholula Mexican hot sauce to the eggs and moved the biscuit and gravy over to the main plate. Simply delicious!Breakfast lovers and lovers of chicken fried state will rejoice when enjoying this fine breakfast at Wings Grill, as I enjoyed the BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK EVER and most likely the finest chicken fried steak in Placer County, and maybe the entire west coast.General aviation and fine food co-locate at Wings Grill to add up to a winning combination.The food is great, the service is friendly and the dining, especially on the patio, will delight all "foodies," pilots and fans of watching a busy municipal airport in action.

This is a great breakfast place. Big portions and at very reasonable prices. I like that they offer half orders. I can tell you that in the future I will probably order the half instead of the whole. It's at the Auburn airport. Fun to watch planes taking off and landing. The space is a little crowded inside, but I am sure when the weather is better being able to sit outside will make a big difference.

Our group of 6 started arriving about noon. We were seated as we arrived and drink orders taken. The weather was rain snow mix so it wasn't as crowed as usual and the patio was closed. Service was good and well timed. We had Patty Melts and other Melts with fries or Onion Rings and bottled beer. Food was great comfort food. The ambiance is that of a casual cafe. The location is at the inside edge of the parking lot so one has to look for it. Plenty of parking.

Breakfast was so disappointing. Waited 45 minutes for the food only for it to be bland. I have always loved this place for breakfast so I am hoping they just had a bad day. Still loved the planes taking off and landing...

My grandpa has taken us here over the years and this time my bf and I were visiting. It's so cool to find a locals spot and that has tasty food. Also can see planes flying since it's the Auburn airport. I had biscuits and gravy which I love and try them everywhere and to me these are the best ever! Also a chai latte. It was so nice catching up and now can't wait to come back (:

We love this spot. We frequent Wings when we are visiting friends that live in the Roseville/Rocklin area. It's definitely worth the drive. The food is consistently good and it's fun to sit outside watching the planes come and go - particularly if you have a little one. The one negative is that they are busy. I wish ownership would forgo working with Grubhub and other food delivery services. We've been there where the service and kitchen staff are clearly overwhelmed and it seems the backlog is often due to the to go orders. On our most recent visit we had to wait 30 minutes after being seated for our server to be able to help us - she was literally running to service way too many tables for one person so clearly a staffing issue.

"Sorry, there's no manager, and the owner isn't here until tomorrow. You'll have to call back then". That's the response when calling Wings regarding an order that was missing half the ingredients.At one time a great restaurant, and of course a wonderful location. However, for some reason has gone downhill. No, won't be inconvenienced any further by "calling tomorrow". You just lost four longtime customers.
