    Great environment. Vibes were on point for a birthday celebration. The ambiance was perfect, and the music wasn't so loud that it triggered me. I was able to enjoy every dish 10/10. The waiter was very kind, energetic, and knowledgeable of the establishment, and the drinks were pretty good. The location wasn't hard to locate. I liked that MBG offered outdoor seating as well. My only recommendation is to keep the serving dishes full at all times. I wasn't able to enjoy what I truly wanted the first go-round because 4-5 serving dishes were empty. I had to wait and come back. I'd also recommend signs that state whether the foods include pork or what's a vegetarian dish. I would have enjoyed having a waiter explain the order of dishes (example: breakfast items are mostly at the beginning of the line and dinner is at the end. That way, I could have planned what I'd eat). I will most definitely be back with friends and family! Thank you for the hospitality. - Kita

    This was an AMAZING brunch experience. It was so much fun, the food was AWESOME, and the portions were large enough for me and my guest to both have food to take home. The show was so captivating and it was worth every single penny! Will be bringing my friends back for brunch and another time for dinner.

    I have always loved Sweet Auburn, and my recent visit to celebrate my birthday was no exception. As always, the food was delicious, and the bartender crafted some super tasty cocktails. But on this particular occasion, I had the unique opportunity to meet one of the owners (Anita). I mentioned I was there for my birthday, and next thing I know, I get a surprise banana pudding for dessert - candle and all! My server (Diamond) also shined (no pun intended). She was knowledgeable about the menu, conversational, and friendly. My visit was more than just a delicious meal, it was a wonderful experience. Precisely what you dine-in for! Looking forward to my next visit!
