Food scene
A good ol' fashioned diner that specializes in speedy service and large helpings. I love their veggie scramble.
It's less than ten minutes up the road which is really nice.

They always have a top notch buffet going, but you can order off of the menu if you prefer. The naan is always hot and fresh.
When my daughter comes to town this is the one place that she insists upon visiting because "it's the best Indian food ever."

This place can be a little hit and miss with the food, but the setting is really nice and it's pretty much the first place you get to when you get back down to Auburn so that's nice.
If you can make it during happy hour they have decent cocktail and appetizer specials.

Machado Apple Barn Inc
101 Apple LnOne of Auburn's places to get a delicious fresh pie. They also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
The locals debate about whether the pies are better here or at Machado's. I can't decide myself.
This place is a little more commercialized, but they do have a lunch counter and you can also buy their pies by the slice here which is a nice feature.

I haven't made it out here yet, but everyone tells me this is a great spot where you can go hiking, biking, or even horseback riding.
It can be pretty hot there in the summer so I recommend an early start or going in the Fall or Spring.
