What People Are Saying About Auntie Em's Kitchen

Colorful and kid friendly (there's plenty of paper and crayons at each table), this Eagle Rock diner is a family favorite. At lunchtime, the front takeout counter is jamming with a bustling neighborhood crowd. On weekends it can get a little crazy as folks flood in for open-faced breakfast sandwiches, huge salads, soups and pastas. Popular items include a fat BLT with avocado and sprouts, piled-high Cobb salad, orzo pasta with kalamata olives, and lamb shepherd's pie. But it's not just the savory staples that keep the crowds coming--people from all over drive miles for the bakery's famous red…

don't believe the hype -- or let them cater your event!
by lafoodster at Citysearch
Friends of mine used Auntie Em's to cater their wedding. The food was fine but the service - leading up to the event, during, and after - was horrendous. This place is super pretentious and borderline arrogant about their quality and the uniqueness of their offerings, but then they don't deliver. That's a fatal combination in a town with a multitude of culinary offerings. Good food is important but NOT worth putting up with poor customer service, whether you're throwing a big event or going out for brunch on a Sunday. Shop around before committing to any sort of relationship with these people - there are other caterers out there who are more customer-friendly AND less pricey.
- Pros: they know how to cook
- Cons: horrible service, especially catering

cupcakes are delicous
by poochamina76 at Citysearch
very nice people!!! I ordered a small salad and a cupcake this last visit (i've been there 3 times) and I forgot my wallet and they were so nice as to tell me to bring it next time.
The cupcakes are always fresh and yummy (wait, not yummy because yummy's cupcakes are nasty) the salad was tasty and unique.
I will go back again and again. very nice people and the food is tasty.
- Cons: parking

Breakfast, Lunch or Cupcakes
by mollypsca at Citysearch
After reading some of the bad reviews I am happy that I have only eaten there for breakfast and lunch or to pick up some cupcakes. Although the "dirty" review has grossed me out a bit. Grrrrr.
In all honesty it was the cupcakes that brought me in to the place, but now, I do enjoy the food and the diverse staff at Auntie Em's.
I love to see a success story and it seems as though this place is one of them. Great for them. Although, I would suggest that the owners get on any of the "dirty" issues and cross contamination (touch face = wash hands, not go back to slicing meat).
- Pros: Cupcakes
