Pizza restaurant
Italian restaurant
Little Italy Pizzeria is a laid-back pizza joint in Alabama, offering authentic New York-style pizza by the slice or whole pie. In addition to pizza, they serve strombolis, sandwiches, salads, calzones, and desserts. It's a popular spot for Auburn students looking for late-night munchies or affordable lunch specials. The restaurant focuses on bringing New York flavors to Alabama while being easy on the wallet.
Pizza is always hot and made for you!! Pizza by the slice is the way to go, it was delicious!! They add toppings to your slice then cook it. I actually prefer this rather than having like 10 pizzas made that you have to choose from like some places. The staff is super friendly and they are also patient when we had never ordered there before. We went on a Friday night at 10pm in April and it was busy! There are tables of all sizes inside to sit at. They serve Pepsi products. They do give you a water cup if desired. We ordered a slice of pep/sausage and it was so so good!! I also got ranch to dip it and it tasted great and was 55 cents. The individual slices are like 12inches long and 5 inches wide. The crust was fluffy and so delicious, not burnt either. We also got an eggplant 6inch sandwich. I will say that I had to buy the 55cent marinara to put on the sandwich because it just needed something. The eggplant was a bit chewy. But the marinara was delicious, probably homemade. They have an ordering system that just works, where you get a number at the top of your reciept. They call your number on a microphone and you have to show a receipt at the pickup section.

I came here with a a few of my friends and we ordered a 16 inch meat lovers pizza. We absolutely loved the pizza and the wait time was not long at all. The staff was very helpful with our first time coming. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some late night pizza. Will be sharing with friends.

I was in town for business and wanted some good pizza. I had two young kids with me, so delivery to the hotel seemed like the best option. I called Little Italy restaurant to ask about delivery and they told me that they didn’t deliver, but I should use the Tiger Town ToGo service for delivery of their food. So I placed my order through the app and waited. The food took over 1.5 hours to arrive. It was completely cold. No stretchy cheese. Not even warm. For what it’s worth, the pizza had a good flavor and I could tell that it Probably would have been good when it was fresh. Since we are at the same hotel for the whole weekend, I decided to try this again the next night. Again, same deal. Ordered the food through the Tiger Town ToGo delivery service. Again, took OVER 90 minutes to arrive at my hotel. Again the pizza was completely cold. Even the kids complained and they’ll usually eat any kind of pizza without complaint. Very disappointing.

I’ve been coming here for years during lunch. Lately, every side salad I get has brown, spoiled lettuce in it, mushy tomatoes and cucumbers. You even pay an up charge for their salads. Very disappointed. Service is good! This was a to-go order. I typically don’t see the quality until I’ve left the store. Hit or miss! Not consistent.

Slid into Auburn, GA late at night...hungry before I checked into my hotel (See review for Microtel - Auburn, GA). Called several pizza places including Papa John's who refused to make a pizza before their advertised closing time. Found Little Italy Pizzeria 🇮🇹 😍. Called and placed my order for their special pizza. Walked in to pick up my pizza and the place was packed at nearly midnight - always a pretty good sign of quality. The air was filled with the smell of fresh tomatoes 🍅 😋 - garlic, and sausage (another great sign). I ordered the pizza 🍕 "very well done - not burnt... When they called my name, as the fragrant aromas from my pizza fresh out of the stonevoven filled the air, I peaked into tje box... My pizza was cooked to absolute perfection. Brown bubbles of crust and caramelized cheese burst through the generous toppings of pepperoni, sausage, green bell peppers, and, onions... Even though my hotel was about 10 minutes away (and I stopped for gas on the way back)... When I arrived back at my hotel, the pizza was still piping hot 🔥 and it was absolutely delicious... Service was top rate as well. If you are in Auburn, AL - Absolutely do not miss the opportunity to experience and enjoy a pizza from Little Italy Pizza too! If you don't need a whole pizza, I saw on their menu, they serve slices of pizza too!

The pizza at this place is incredibly scrumptious, with a consistently fresh base. The customization options are a great touch. The lively atmosphere is always filled with chill vibes, making it a popular spot.
Asritha G — Google review
Honestly this is the best pizza in Auburn. Great little hole in the wall spot, really straightforward and a great piece to get a slice. Don’t going thinking you’re gunna have a Michelin star experience, but if you want a good late night slice of pie, this is the spot. Will always recommend this spot.

Little Italy is an Italian style restaurant featuring lots of great Italian food and great beer specials in Auburn, AL. They strive to bring you delicious and authentic New York style pizza which you can buy by the slice or whole pie all day long. They also serve sandwiches, calzones, strombolis, salads and a few desserts. I had the cheese pizza and it was absolutely fabulous.

Barbecue restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Byron's Smokehouse is a beloved Auburn staple known for its traditional Southern barbecue and homestyle breakfasts. This mom-and-pop restaurant offers BBQ plates, sandwiches, classic sides, and old school breakfast options like eggs, bacon, grits, fried potatoes, and biscuits. The casual setting and friendly service make it a local favorite for authentic slow-cooked barbecue.
I went to Byron’s today for the first time ever and I was highly impressed at how good the food is. Not only was it fresh but it was seasoned to perfection, everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be back. The customer service was exceptional.
Raquel B — Google review
Byron's breakfast is a delightful culinary experience that brings together a diverse crowd of all ages and backgrounds. The lively and welcoming ambiance sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. Opting for the popular breakfast plate was a wise choice, as it delivered a scrumptious combination of scrambled eggs, bacon, fried potatoes, biscuit, and an extra sausage patty. Each bite was a burst of flavors that left you savoring every moment. The presence of your favorite Coke Zero added to the enjoyment. The quick service ensured a minimal wait time, enhancing the overall satisfaction of the meal. Byron's breakfast is indeed a gem that deserves the acclaim it receives from its patrons.
Brandon E — Google review
This are definitely not the same ppl. As the business has switched hands. The food was not the same. Food came out as soon as I ordered which was strange. The grits were lukewarm and soupy. The bacon was cold and old. The eggs were extremely over cooked. I couldn’t finish any of it. Even the soda was as flat…. Now I remember why I stopped coming.

Stopped here for a quick lunch the other day. 1st time visit and was not disappointed. I got the rib plate with green beans and fried potatoes. My wife ordered veggie plate. We were both pretty happy with what we got. The staff was friendly and our food was served faster than expected. About the only negative things we could say is that the interior is very dated (minor issue) and the men's restroom was in bad shape (major issue). Yes, we would recommend Byron's to other who are thinking about trying it out.

They said this was the best bbq around Auburn. I would have to say I've had better. The Brunswick stew was subpar, and the potato salad was more like a loaded baked potato. The bbq itself was good. Did care for the sauce. Wish there was a vinegar based sauce.

Exceptional service, quick delivery of fresh flavorful food. I had the smoked turkey sandwich on white bread with hot bbq sauce, lettuce, tomato & cheese. A little messy for the car so I’ll get it on a bun next time. Definitely look forward to trying more of their menu.

Southern restaurant (US)
Bar
Nestled in the heart of Auburn, Acre is a culinary gem that showcases Southern-inspired cuisine with a modern twist. Under the expert guidance of Chef David Bancroft, a celebrated figure in the food scene and a multi-year James Beard Award semifinalist, this farm-to-table restaurant has become an iconic destination for food lovers. The menu features delectable starters like honey-hot sauce butter cornbread and fried green tomatoes adorned with marinated Gulf blue crab and pimento cheese.
Great experience overall. The appetizer (a seafood option—I forget the name) was packed with flavor and a strong start to the meal. The strawberry salad was also fantastic. I had the tenderloin for my entrée, and it was cooked perfectly—very tender and flavorful, though it could’ve used just a touch more salt. Still, excellent overall. For dessert, I had a sampler with cake, brownie, and peanut butter cake. The regular cake was my favorite; the others were good but just not my personal taste. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. My whiskey cocktail was just okay—nothing special, but acceptable. The location is beautiful with a great vibe inside and on the patio. Definitely worth a visit.

My Fiance and I went there for dinner and had an amazing time! Neither of us had been before. Our waitress Sky was so kind and attentive, and once the staff found out we were celebrating our engagement they helped us celebrate to the max. We got fried green tomatoes for our appetizer and that was delicious. Our entrees were the strip sirloin and Duck breast and both us of wanted more after eating it. Then we decided to splurge and get the dessert board and coffee and WOW. Every dessert on there was amazing. They also slipped in an extra dessert on there for us since we were celebrating. Overall everyone was so incredibly kind and welcoming from the valet, to the hostesses, our waitress, and the rest of the staff. It was such a sweet way for us to celebrate!

The answer is ~ yes. Without hesitation. Prioritize a night out here. Wait staff is so helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. The only strange part was the parking situation, ha. I don’t want to ruin it for you, so I’ll let you experience first hand. Would go during peach season if able!

I do not normally start a review about food with the bread that comes first before your entree. But...the sour dough bread, heavily buttered, is placed on their hickory smoked grill and that extra flavoring kicks the taste up to the next level! I believe I could have ordered more bread and just ate that alone for an entire meal. However, we did order scallops and the duck breast which were cooked to perfection in their own special way. The online menu better describes the additional ingredients than I could do but the meal was very sumptuous.

Had a lovely dinner with my daughter. Such a cute quaint restaurant. I love all the different areas to eat including a patio. The ambiance is lovely. We had a reservation so were seated quickly. The menu has a great variety of options and I love that it is farm to table. We chose to have the Mapleleaf Farms duck breast with goat cheese risotto. We also started with a charcuterie board of different cheeses. The duck was perfectly cooked and the flavors with the goat cheese, risotto or amazing. Refinished with a peanut butter pie, which was extremely decadent and filling. It was a lovely night and will definitely come back to dine again.

My wife and I went here with reservations for our wedding anniversary. It’s a quaint little place and reminds you a bit of a lodge with farmhouse vibes. When we got there they had complimentary valet parking though we did tip the parking attendant as we left. The staff was friendly and did check on us regularly throughout our meal. The menu at this restaurant does change with season. On this night I went with the New York Strip with cowboy butter, crispy shallots and oven roasted carrots. It was at least 39 minutes after we ordered before our food hit the table. The steak was tasty with the cowboy butter but was a little overcooked to my order. I had asked for medium but it was more like medium well and on the edges it was well done. The carrots had a good flavor but were a little more al dente than I prefer. At $53, I was hoping for more options for choice of sides and more than just one. I didn’t ask if there was a choice so there may have been but the menu seemed to be set for each dish. We did have a Caesar salad prior to dinner which was good but the croutons were very hard and tough to chew into without fear of breaking a crown. My wife went with the Gulf Flounder Picatta. The fish was a nice size piece of fish. The crust though was a bit bland and the caper butter sauce was ok. My wife did swap out her sweet potato puree with regular mashed potatoes. They were ok as well but nothing special. My wife did order an extra side of braised collard greens with hearth smoked bacon. The greens were good with a little spicy kick. We only had water for drinks and our bill with tax and tips totaled out at $135. It was a special occasion so I was fine with it though it may be considered pretty pricey for just a regular sit down meal. We would go here again but would probably look closer at the menu since it does change to help us make the decision if we would return.

Gave 5⭐️ for the overall experience. The food was extremely tasty, just too salty for me. Ordered the sunday brunch menu (shrimp and grits, green fried tomatoes). Service was excellent, also the reason why the overall experience was a 5!

Lucy's is a top-notch venue with a sophisticated atmosphere and excellent drinks. The Hendricks flora adora G&T is exceptional, offering a perfect blend of florals and citrus without being overly sweet. The Japanese Chai Old Fashioned and Farmers Daughter cocktails are also outstanding. The restaurant pays great attention to detail, providing quick and attentive service from multiple servers. While the portions are small, they are surprisingly filling. The staff, including server Isabella and others encountered, are welcoming and attentive.
I had a great experience dining at Lucy’s. The interior was tastefully decorated in a charming Southern farmhouse style. It was warm, inviting, and beautifully put together. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the atmosphere even better. The food overall was very tasty and satisfying. The only downside was the whole chicken It was a bit bland compared to the rest of the dishes. That said, everything else more than made up for it. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service and flavorful food.

Nice location and friendly staff for a premium restaurant in Auburn. Reservations are highly recommended. We had a larger party than usual ~10 and our experience wasn’t awesome. Three in our group had issues w their orders and the overall food experience didn’t match the cost of the meal. Probably our last visit.

I'd probably rate it a 3.5. Beautiful restaurant, the decor was great and the seating was very comfortable. The restaurant has a very welcoming vibe! The service was good, nothing exceptional. Our only major complaint was the food. Overall, it wasn't great and nothing stood out that would bring us back. We felt that the prices were quite high for the quality of the food. The biscuits were very dry and dense. The food in general felt that it lacked flavor. The potatoes very an exception to that as they were quite the opposite and over seasoned. The only food item we ordered that was tasty all around was the French toast. I'd recommend this place maybe for an event or something, because it is adorable. But, the food I absolutely would not recommend.

This restaurant is a lovely step above your typical casual breakfast spot. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, with an upscale yet welcoming vibe—though be prepared for slightly higher prices. I ordered the Black Tea, Truffle Parmesean Fries, and Lucy’s Classic Eggs Benedict. The tea arrived in a proper teapot with sugar on the side, staying piping hot so I could adjust the sweetness to my liking. The Truffle Fries (with a delicious aioli dip) were the standout and my favorite item there! Also we sat next to the bar and even though we didn't order anything from the bar, the bartender made some beautiful drinks that were fun to watch him create. I initially wanted the Shakshuka, but since it wasn’t available, I went with the Eggs Benedict instead! The hollandaise was rich and paired perfectly with the slightly smoky ham. Every bite was well-balanced and satisfying. I couldn't finish it and they boxed it for me to go. This is a great place to bring family or friends when you want a semi-fancy brunch experience. A little splurge, but worth it for the quality and ambiance!

We went for brunch and Sara Kate took amazing care of us - she’s a star! The restaurant is very cute: modern bistro, very clean, but loud (no music, just chatter) The brunch menu had a bit of everything. The food was good, large portions, and came out hot. We had the banana bread toast starter (sweet, great); the burger (super juicy with great flavor); the French toast (very sweet, yummy); the chicken waffle bene (very wet due to the gravy which made the chicken and waffle soggy, but good flavor and came with a huge portion of potatoes; classic breakfast (great). We had a kid with us and there aren’t a lot of kid-friendly/plain options, so it’s more adult-friendly. The price was a bit high = $40/person after tip with no alcohol It was a fun time, we’d definitely go back

Sat at the bar last night with my wife. They were BUSY (home game weekend) but luckily we were seated at the bar as soon as we walked in. The food, man the food is goooood. Truffle fries, the big sampler appetizer platter, and chicken entree were all 🤌🏼. 5 out of 5 and will be back again. I was also surprised at how quickly we received our food considering it was a full house. Very impressed.

Restaurant
Big Blue Bagel & Deli, founded in 2000 by owner Jon Deason, has become a beloved gathering spot for Auburn students, faculty, and locals. The deli is known for its flavorful offerings such as the Tiger Melt sandwich and bagel chips, both recognized as must-try dishes in Alabama. With a variety of freshly made bagels and spreads available until 3 p.m.
I recently visited Big Blue Bagel & Deli and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the Tiger Melt (half), which was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The combination of ingredients melted together beautifully, making each bite deliciously satisfying. For my side, I chose bagel chips with strawberry cream cheese, and it was the perfect complement to my meal. The bagel chips were crispy and paired wonderfully with the sweet and tangy strawberry cream cheese, creating a delightful contrast in flavors. The atmosphere was cozy. If you're looking for a great bagel spot in town, I highly recommend Big Blue Bagel & Deli! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items from their menu.

This was a nice diner located right outside the campus of Auburn University. Obviously, the name says it all. They specialize in bagels, but the fruit was phenomenal. My wife and daughter both ordered the bagels with chicken salad in the side of fruit. The fruit was very fresh. I ordered half a sub, and I got a side of chips, and it was good. If i went back, I'd get a full sub instead of a half as the portions are that big.

I’ve been trying to place a catering order with Big Blue Bagels for three days, and I’m no closer to getting the information I need than when I started. I first submitted a catering form through their website and didn’t hear back for a full day. I followed up by emailing the email address listed on their site, asking specific questions about their catering options, whether pickup was available (as I have never done business with them before), and an important allergy concern. I did receive a same-day reply, but it only said: “Would you like breakfast sandwiches or fruit and bagels, and cream cheese?”, which did not address any of my questions. I responded that I could not move forward without information about the allergy, but never received a follow-up. Later, I received a reply to the original website form submission that stated only: “We can do anything on the menu. Just let us know if you have any questions. Thanks.” Again, this provided no meaningful details. At that point, I submitted a final detailed explanation of the difficulties I’d experienced, but after three days of trying, I still have no clear answers. I’ve decided to take my business elsewhere. I have lived in Auburn for three years and had never even heard of Big Blue Bagels until now. I thought it might be a great new option for our office breakfast, but I will gladly choose a business that is responsive and eager to work with customers. After explaining my experience to friends, several of them mentioned that this lack of responsiveness is exactly the reputation this business already has, something I wish I had known before spending days trying to place an order.

Absolutely packed, I would go early if I went back. The line was consistently the length of the restaurant, almost to the door. People cycle through fast though so seating isn’t really an issue. Good reason for the long line. Bagels are a great consistently and flavor. Good sides and cheap coffee too. A great college breakfast spot downtown.

I have tried this place for the second time in a few years hoping the food quality would be different, but I have given up. The bagels have no taste at all, and do not seem like good quality. Thomas bagels from the grocery store are better than these. Even with cream cheese, bacon, and egg added to two different bagels it still tasted like nothing! I will not be returning.

Huge bagel fan and Big Blue Bagel did not disappoint. The bagel chips were the most memorable and incredible chips I’ve ever had. 🥯 Well executed deli meals, prepared fresh and serving the local Auburn community well! The decor was interesting, unique; featuring photos, memorabilia and signatures of past visitors and members of the local community. Apparently the Tiger Melt (& bagel chips) are a must-try!

This place is 10000000/10 in Auburn! My cousin told me about it and we drove down from Montgomery. The owner is soo nice and is always checking in on each of us making sure we were enjoying our food! Did i mention I’ve driven down 3 days in a row for the food! It’s hot and fresh! They have different menus daily! Great food!

You can’t come to Auburn without popping into the Irritable Bao. Delicious food in a welcoming environment is a win! My personal favorite is the dumplings, but the menu changes daily so be sure to check out their social media to see what’s available each day. Whitley has created a true gem for our area!

Our bartender Hensley(Henny) was amazing! Had a great experience all around!

It was our family's first time in Auburn. We brought the kids (4yo & 10mo) to the Hound on the recommendation of some locals. It did not disappoint. It was rush / move-in weekend. The place was slammed. Luckily, we had a reservation so we were good to go. The beers were good, selection was decent. Whiskey is what they're know for, but I had 2 boys under 5 with me, so I wasn't sipping the brown...the wife and I shared a bottle of Bordeaux red with dinner. The price point was great. It was on the light and young side, but all of our dishes had a slight spiciness to them, so that actually worked to our benefit! The food: We had to get the bacon flight as an appetizer. It was fantastic. If your family likes bacon, order it. It was gone so fast I couldn't get a photo! Both boys devoured it. My 4yo had the wings. They had a sweet and spicy glaze that we all loved. For a smoked wing, they were actually pretty crispy. I loved the cook on them. My wife had the meatloaf. We all loved it. The bacon and chorizo added to the grind really made it shine. The mashed potatoes and collards were great accompaniments. I had the bacon fried rice bowl with blackened chicken. There was a soft egg right in the very middle. I immediately broke the yoke and mixed all the sauces and eggy goodness together. That was the move. My wife raved about it and I scraped the bowl clean! With a bottle of wine, appetizer, and 3 meals we walked out of there for under $130 after tax and tip.

Coming from NY and Chicago where food it the top standard with the James Bared Awards I had to see what Alabama was all about. I had the chance to dine at The Hound in Alabama and really enjoyed the experience. My friend knew the owners there so I even got to meet the owners, a wonderful couple originally from California, who now own three restaurants in town. They were so warm and welcoming, which added a personal touch to the visit. I ordered the steak, which was flavorful, though the cut I received was a little on the fatty side for my taste. That said, the highlight of the dish for me was the chimichurri sauce—an absolute must-have every time. It was fresh, vibrant, and paired perfectly with the meat. My friend got the fish and chips but swapped the chips for fries, they had No Vinegar fyi. It was still very enjoyable. The atmosphere was another big win. Inside, the restaurant has a super cute and inviting vibe that feels both cozy and stylish. Love all the personal touches to the place like the hand made carved wood for the tables, the dear ornaments, clip board for the menu, and the bucket lights. It’s the kind of spot you could go for a casual dinner or even a special night out. Overall, The Hound is definitely worth a visit—delicious food, great ambiance, and owners who truly care about their guests.

My husband and I stopped in Auburn last night to stay and had dinner here (solely based on the previous reviews) and all the reviews checked out. This restaurant is five stars all around. My husband had the double double burger with in house-made chips and I had the wings(no glaze) and in house-made fries with in house made ranch ( 😋 delicious)& we shared a cocktail and all the food was delicious, fresh & hot and our servers Erica and Chase were amazing as well!

This upscale Italian restaurant consistently delivers delicious food, cozy ambiance, and outstanding service. The highlight of our meal was the mouth-watering Focaccia bread - so good it's worth every penny of the $8 price tag! While it would be nice to have the Focaccia included with the meal, the quality and flavor make it a worthwhile splurge. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for Italian food enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated and satisfying dining experience.

I have to say that I could get five stars for the drinks that are awesome. However, nothing extra extraordinary for the food. In fact, I think it was so simple and poorly me. I could barely taste the difference between a common food, industry or restaurant than this one. The atmosphere was quite psychotic, but at the same time maintained quiet on the bar area. our server was average it could be a little bit more attentive to our needs, or friendly but nothing to be concerned.

Hamilton's On Magnolia is a charming establishment that offers contemporary American cuisine and a variety of beverages. With its cozy atmosphere, patrons can enjoy their meals in the indoor seating area or on the outdoor patio. Live music adds to the overall experience. Although reservations are recommended due to high demand, waiting times are reasonable for walk-in customers. The food is served promptly and is of good quality. The bar provides an alternative option for those who prefer only drinks.
We stopped into this bar and grill several times during our stay and it quickly became a favorite spot. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the snacks were great, and the service was even better. Allison and Boston took such good care of us at the bar—friendly, attentive, and fun to chat with. If I lived in town, I’d probably be here weekly just for the service and vibe alone!

I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately everything was pretty bland. The brussel sprouts lacked depth. The steak had a decent pepper crust but was tough. The mac and cheese had a lot of potential but lack salt. After adding salt it was pretty decent. Pretty expensive for the quality of flavor. Server was great. Outdoor seating was nice.

First time at Hamilton's on Magnolia. It will be my last. Paid $150 for a decent filet and a little better tasting Ribeye. The Yukon mash potatoes would have been better. if they had left them in the instant bag they were poured from. The potato steak soup was very gritty. The can must have been past it's "use by" date. The worst part of the experience was the noise. My wife and I couldn't carry on a conversation. The only good part was the waitress. Even if, she couldn't hear me say thank you. We did appreciate her. My advice, lower the price or raise the quality of your steaks and lower the noise level or change the name to Hamilton's Bar&Grill.

Went here for an anniversary dinner. The steak was mediocre at best. The service was fine, no acknowledgement of our anniversary despite ordering a dessert. Except when the server said happy anniversary as he dropped the check. We overheard a different server explaining a complimentary dessert or toast to a different table. Left a bad taste in my mouth and we won’t be back.

Food is mediocre and the staff is nice but clearly inexperienced. Told us the wait would be 1 to 1.5 hours and was actually 3.5+ hours for incredibly average food. Don’t know why anyone would wait more than 20 minutes for a restaurant of this quality. It’s more of a reunion outside waiting for their table than waiting for what food of this quality. Avoid at all costs.

We always grab some Mama G’s when in town for swim meets, and this morning we discovered they now serve breakfast at our favorite location! The sausage egg and cheese biscuit was delish, and my husband enjoyed a country ham biscuit and tater tots. The coffee was good and hot, employees were super friendly.

We split the mama love, which was enough for two people, but adding two drinks and chips. It was seven bucks and the most surprising thing was we decided to get the potato salad and there were four bites and it was $3!! It was my first time trying this and I’m not a fan of the steam sandwiches because I don’t really like warm lunch meat, but the concept is really fun and I’m sure other people would like this sandwich. I just didn’t really enjoy it that much.

Will not be coming here again. My order was dine in. I stood at the counter while people who came in after me names were called yet no one inquired about my order. I finally had to ask where my order was only to see they never looked at the dine in area. The sandwiches, which were Reuben’s, had so little meat that the two pieces of bread didn’t separate and there was almost no mustard or 1000 islander See photos. Cost too high for the portion. I would have been better off going to Publix. Next time I will. Don’t waste your hard earned cash!!

I got a custom sandwich which was grilled chicken, sesame ginger, sesame bun, mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion and jalapeño, and needless to say; I think they should add it to the menu. The sandwich was great and I’d love to come back for more. The salad was decent but could use some work on the freshness, the vinaigrette sauce was also pretty good. Only reason I’m not giving 5/5 is cause of the salad, everything else was good and I would recommend trying the entire menu, I see a lot of complaints about the staff, but the days I go, everyone is friendly and attentive.

Pretty good lunch here! The portions are pretty decent as well for the price! Daughter’s kids meal was only $3, and it was big enough to take extra home. Fries and grilled cheese off her plate were very yummy and very well seasoned!! The jalapeno sausage was good, but the hash brown casserole and mac n cheese were the stars of the show. It was so good my picky baby even wanted to eat all of it! My server was very nice and mindful! Look forward to bringing hubby so that I can try the tacos next time!

We went up to the restaurant and made a pick up order on a Tuesday night at 730 pm. First they don’t take to go orders over the phone after 530 pm but even after us going up there having a drink at their bar while we waited they left our salsa and chips out of the bag. We went back up there to get the chips and salsa (after leaving a 10 dollar tip and 8 dollars a piece for a beer) we received a container of salsa the size of a dip cup! Like what? After having to come back up there to get it! For the price of the food and the small servings I definitely won’t be back!

No idea how this place has 4.4 from a large number of reviews. They messed our order up twice, then on leaving when I had my 1yo son in my arms while also pushing a stroller, the owner (?) (who had been sitting on a couch the entire time that we were eating our breakfast) made us return to the table to clear out dishes into tubs, by rudely saying “dirty dishes go in these tubs”. … Absolutely no issue with this if it had been told to us (we wouldn’t have tipped if this was the case) but a. why drag me back in when I am already maxed out with a child and pram, b. Why did I tip, c. There were 3 staff behind the counter doing nothing at the time, along with the older gentleman owner who all watched us do this. I have to say that I travel for about half of the year and have never been put in this position before, let alone for mediocre food and coffee. What a horrible experience and restaurant, and owner.

The place was a zoo on Saturday. Owner was working the register and clueless as how to manage flow. He just kept taking orders (instead of pausing and helping get orders served) while the young workers were buried and overwhelmed, all the while orders kept piling up. After 30-minutes I skipped my latte ordered and just begged for a drip coffee to go. Maybe this is why ministries shouldn’t pose as coffee shops.

Wonderful experience at the Waverly Local. 4.5 stars overall. We ordered the ribeye, shrimp and grits, chii, and La's smoked chicken. All of these were very good; however, the star of the show was the ribeye. Yep, it's expensive, but we thought it was worth the price. Why four stars for the food? The garlic broccolini was a bit disappointing (couldn't taste any garlic) as were the mashed potatoes. As has been noted in previous reviews, it is noisy there - at least on a Friday night. Service was great and we loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend...

Ate here for the second time last night. We were seated at a table right by the bar entrance, very busy. When asked to change were told only banquette tables were available despite an abundance of empty 4 tops. Our server was Conner who was fine. Ordered the bacon wrapped okra app and it was delicious as usual. I ordered the feed chicken special and my partner ordered the shrimp and grits. My fried chicken was tasty but neither crispy or crunchy. The mashed potatoes were very good as were the collards. But really, no pepper/hot sauce for the collards? Th shrimp and grits dish was completely overpowered by the sauce served. Very strong with both sweet and savory notes that made the dish unappetizing. My partner tried to eat around the sauce with some success. Overall an ok to good experience. If you are in the area I would check it out. Will I drive 45 minutes from my home at Lake Martin to eat here in the near future, no.

Great little bar in auburn. Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and boiled peanuts. Very good. Also good draft beer selection. Wife ordered the gumbo and it was really good.

⭐️⭐️ for the noise I couldn't stay there tonight. The volume on the TVs was extremely loud. Everybody was shouting to be heard, and it is doing permanent damage to people's hearing. I'm pretty much done with it.

Me and my family had a terrible experience at Plaza, but me especially. Being the picky eater I am, I just wanted a bacon cheese burger. It wasn’t on the menu, but since it’s a place known for its burgers I thought there wouldn’t be an issue. We ordered our food and waited 40 minutes. The place was empty so we were confused as to what was the hold up, but we were patient and understanding. When our food came, I received a grilled cheese with cheese and bacon…. Not the plain bacon cheeseburger I ordered. I already waited 40 minutes so I getting hangry. I went and told her politely that this isn’t what I ordered. I wanted a bacon cheeseburger plain and simple. The rest of our table continued to eat. The fries were hard as a rock and weren’t edible and The patties on the burgers tasted like frozen patties from the grocery store. Everyone was getting ready to leave and my food STILL was not ready. I was over it at this point and we walked out front and socialized getting ready to leave. The waitress ended up bringing my food out in a to go box and my husband put it in the car. When I went to open it, there was a burger bun with cheese and bacon. NO PATTY. This sent me. We were there about an hour and 45 minutes and I never got my correct order. And yes I stomped right back in there and told them how ridiculous this was.

Ordered 3 chicken sandwiches and 3 burgers. The food came out one at a time, so several trips to the window. We got the last chicken sandwich an hour and a half after we ordered, 45 minutes after everone was finished eating. It was some kind of mixup, but we kept asking for it with no urgency. No manager visible. Food was good but a bad experience with how it functions. It was my idea to bring the family here to try his new restaurant, with my son's girlfriend being the one waiting. We went from a good mood and having fun to frustrated. Oh well!

Toomer's Drugs is a historic corner drugstore in Auburn that has been transformed into a charming old-fashioned soda fountain and restaurant. Established in 1896, it is renowned for its delicious lemonade and great food. Despite its name, Toomer's also offers an array of Auburn gear for sale. The efficiency of service is impressive, even during busy times, making it a popular spot among locals and visitors alike.
Their lemonade is good, but their ice cream is the star! We got their regular, strawberry, and blue raspberry (frozen) lemonade; all good and refreshing. The cookie dough ice cream was so light and airy and creamy. We also got it in a cookie sandwich. The juxtaposition of the cool creamy ice cream and the warm chocolate chip cookie is literally to die for. One of my favorite sweet treats. So good we went before and after the game.

Everyone else at this place is probably great, but this woman made my two kids cry. She locked the door at 6:59 with my hand on the handle as they were hoping to get an ice cream from a historic spot. Hope the management understands how the actions of one person can reflect on the history of an iconic spot. Also, the ice cream is great two doors down at a place that stays open past 7.

Toomer's drugs in a very well known and popular place in the state of Alabama however I had never been. I decided to go since my nephew was recently accepted to Auburn University. I was not disappointed. Firstly it must be said that the service from the employees working the bar is top notch. They were all so incredibly friendly and helpful and answered all my questions. They recommend the base lemonade with no flavoring since it was my first visit. It was DELICIOUS and DELIGHTFUL. It far exceeded my expectations for lemonade. I also had a tiger face cookie and it was also great. This place is definitely worth a stop for the great service and lemonade.

Three out of 4 enjoyed the food. The grilled salmon entree and the chicken sandwich were all delicious, as were the lobster egg rolls and calamari. My husband was not pleased with the crab cake and avocado sandwich. The crabmeat did not taste fresh and the spices were a little too robust... I will add that the section we had reserved was already set up when we arrived although the floor around the table had not been swept. When my husband brought it to our server's attention he seemed to get offeneded and mentioned that they had just had a party with children there and they were "doing their best!" I guess we should have just appreciated them preparing our table and accepted that hard working people don't have to pay attention to what matters to a paying customer! There was no sign that said, hey, kids just left here so ignore the mess and enjoy your stay! It was rude and inconsiderate but the server did vacuum the area at our request... We finished with the dessert board and all 3 picks were excellent and overall, the service ended better than it started. We had been there once before and enjoyed the service and food. We will likely go back again and then decide from there if we want to continue to support this establishment, so stay tuned! ##butterflyrealtyexperts #foodie #localguides

A bit late submitting this review but wanted to make sure I got it in. Went to Amsterdam for my niece’s birthday. The atmosphere was quaint, had a nice seating area to accommodate our large family group and the service was friendly and relatively quick. Now, for the food, I wasn’t particularly thrilled with it. My wife and I got the burger with bacon and while the flavor was ok, it was very dry. Even after ordering medium well. Mine ended up being pretty well done. I’ve had much better burgers elsewhere. My mother in law got the bolognese, which was not good at all. Looks like there was hardly any sauce on it and the noodles were over cooked. My father in law got the shrimp and grits and he seemed to like them ok. We also got some of the lobster egg rolls and they tasted like they were out of a box. We also had the spinach dip which was cheesy but lacking in flavor. All you could taste was the spinach and the artichoke bit needed some more garlic. This was a first and probably last time visit for me.

My daughter has been raving about Amsterdam since she’s been living down here for almost 10 years now. Every time I call on a Sunday I ask her how her weekend was and usually has to deal with a meal at Amsterdam. Now I could understand why. for a birthday celebration we came here for dinner, and it was not what I thought it was. I thought it was going to be a stuffy uptight restaurant, and it was a complete opposite. Essentially located in a semi residential area on the edge of campus. Upon walking in you’re in the older section of the restaurant, where we were seated. In back is a very nice dining area and also have an outdoor eating area. , where we were seated. In back is a very nice dining area and also have a outdoor eating area. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled brussels sprouts and the calamari. The calamari was very good, with a Red sauce that was almost like a sweet-and-sour red sauce. Not your traditional marinara red sauce. It was very good and very tasty. The grilled brussels sprouts were delicious. Brussels sprouts were bedded over a Gorgonzola cheese, I think. I’m not a big cheese person, therefore, I try to avoid the cheese on it, but the brussels sprouts were still very good. As an entrée, I had the shrimp and grits, which was delicious and also had some of my daughter’s chicken mac & cheese. Which was very good. The mac & cheese had collard greens in it. Watch was exceptional. The flavoring was spot on. Another entrée was the salmon with mashed potatoes, which is a gluten-free. The person who had that and truly enjoyed it, and said the same was cooked perfectly. We talked about dessert, but we didn’t see anything that was too interesting, therefore we decided not to get any. Highly suggest reservations on weekends especially on game days and parent evolved weekends. Found parking literally right in front so it was not an issue, but it can’t be an issue I think. There is a lot behind Amsterdam, but it is unknown if you could park there or not no is it posted if you can or not, but there’s a lot of towing signs. If you’re In Auburn and want a Auburn traditional restaurant, highly suggest Amsterdam

Lowered to one star. Dirty oil, istg they only change it once a week. NEVER EAT FRIED FOODS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK! Basically any day past wednesday and there's a 50/50 chance I start getting sick off the oil from the chicken and Mac and cheese! Also? I saw a roach running out of the kitchen one day, it blew my mind! I had it at three stars but with the grease, and now seeing a roach? It makes me think they're dirty back there. Never eating here again. I'd rather overpay acre for actually clean food!

Niffer's Place Auburn is a beloved local eatery that has been serving up delicious American cuisine for over 30 years. The restaurant is known for its mouthwatering corn nuggets, flavorful burgers, and refreshing 'fishbowl' drinks. With three locations in the area, Niffer's Place offers a lively atmosphere perfect for game nights and gatherings with friends and family.
Niffer's has a reputation for Auburn's best burgers, and it's not without good reason. The burgers are amazing, the service is friendly and efficient, and the cost is beyond reasonable. The fried pickle (spears) are a must, and I haven't tried a burger that wasn't 4 +⭐. The Nashville tacos are also a solid choice if you aren't feeling a burger. It's worth noting that there are no draft beer options here, but, despite that, they have a decent beer selection in both bottles and cans and will bring in a chilled glass upon request. Overall, this is a local favorite of which we will continue to be repeat customers! It's an outstanding value-great food, drink, and atmosphere for an amazing price!

The staff was so friendly and our waiter Eric was a goofball just like us so it was great. My husband and I both got the orange and blue burger, I got Cajun fries and he ordered sweet potato fries, and we shared some fried pickles. Burgers were juicy and flavorful. Both fries were hot and tasty. We really liked the fried pickles and their homemade ranch was done well. We will be back for sure.

Pannie-George's Kitchen Inc is a hidden gem that offers the best soul food you'll ever taste. The unfussy atmosphere sets the stage for an authentic Southern dining experience. The fried chicken and classic sides are seasoned to perfection, eliminating the need for additional salt or pepper. The menu features southern-style mains like catfish, purple hull peas, mac and cheese, and yams with jalapeno cornbread.
Oh. My. Goodness. Run, don't walk to this restaurant. It was soooo good. My mom and I were on our way home from Atlanta, and we looked up good food in Auburn, and this restaurant popped up. It had great reviews, so we decided why not, and I am SO glad we did. The friend chicken was to die for. The okra and the collards were phenomenal. The deserts are so good, especially the buttermilk pie. That was my first time ever trying it, and it was amazinggggg. If we were ever in the Auburn area again, we know exactly where we are stopping.

Main ingredient is love here and it was obvious with every delicious bite. Homemade comfort food at its finest. Pannie’s daughters cooked up the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten. Wow, so good that after dinner the previous night I came back for lunch the next day. Roasted chicken (with extra sauce,) catfish (with homemade tartar and hot sauce,) jalapeño cornbread and the candied yams all were absolutely next level amazing. Last night the chicken pot pie was so good and the crust was flakey fresh! Mac n cheese, okra, and mashed potatoes were all good but the gem of the night was the peanut butter cake. Shame I’ve never had that before but I can’t imagine ever having a piece as delicious as the ones (yes plural) that I had here. God bless this sweet and kind family and staff who treated me so well. Can’t wait to come back again!

Omg the service is awesome. The staff is so very friendly, warm and very polite. It was my first time visiting and I was a bit confused about how I order and also the menu. You had your choice of meats and vegetables. There were only 3 meats to choose from and I went with the roast beef and gravy. For my side rice which is placed under the roast beef (counted as a side) and I also had the cabbage as my 2nd side. The meal came with bread of choice (dinner roll or cornbread muffin) I chose the cornbread muffin. The meal also included a drink. I selected a sweet tea. Total came to $17.44 this includes tax. I must say I unfortunately did not enjoy the portion size of the roast beef. I had maybe 4 pieces of meat as they were cut up into chunks. Very tender and tasted a little like it was from a can. The rice was just plain rice nothing too exciting there and the cornbread muffin was too sweet and honestly it didn’t taste fresh. The star of the meal was the cabbage. It was cooked to perfection. The sweet tea was overwhelmingly SWEET you definitely don’t want to drink it without adding water. My rating for the food was 3.2/10 but my rating for the service and the staff 9/10 overall I gave 3stars out of 5. I would have to try this location again to give my opinion of me recommending any of my family or friends to eat here.

I love a good meat and three. Pannie-George’s is all that and more. I was hoping for some fresh fried chicken but it was going to be a 20-minute wait so I went for the chicken and dumplings instead. Oh so yummy! It did not disappoint. The butterbeans and mashed potatoes were equally tasty. Ditto on the cornbread, which was moist and full of flavor. Not dry, which is what most places serve. But the very best was dessert, which was peanut butter cake. Perfect blend of moist cake and a sweet but not too sweet icing. I can tell you I’ve never had better. So good I got a piece to go for later. ❤️ Add to this the welcoming kindness of every person on staff we encountered. It really made my day. If you’re in the area, this is one delightful place you don’t want to miss. 😀

Sheila C's Burger Barn is a casual eatery that offers substantial burgers and fries in a modest setting with booth seating.

There is a wide variety of options on the menu, including a massive double cheese burger and a classic grilled cheese sandwich reminiscent of an old-fashioned diner favorite.

My friend and I ordered a hamburger and another friend ordered a cheeseburger. All three of us were satisfied😋 It's not a taste like another hamburger restaurant or a franchise restaurant, but it's a hamburger that really seems to have put effort into the ingredients one by one. It's really a handmade hamburger. The meat was fresh, too. I think this is the best hamburger restaurant in Auburn🔥 I am very satisfied with this restaurant's hamburgers. French fries are not stimulating either. So it seems to be even more delicious. The fries were fresh🍟 The atmosphere of the store is also likely to appear in the movie.

The 3 stars is not for the food…The food is definitely worth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. My rating is for the way they operate, which is cooking 5 separate orders (for example) then bringing all 5 at the same time, instead of pushing them out as they’re ready. Maybe an extra person to run orders would be helpful, because my food was cold because of this. Otherwise, BEST BURGERS IN TOWN without a doubt!

I’m taking Callie around to all the food places in Auburn, she has cancer and just trying to make her life better while she’s around. She loved the tacos and Mac and cheese. We’re walking around as long as she’s able to, if you see her, give her a pet, she loves the attention. I am also trying to raise money for a bench to remember her by at one of the parks, maybe Town Creek.

Popular place for lunch and so there will be a line to order but typically great service and worth the wait! They offer tofu as a protein option even though not on the menu board, delicious tofu with a citrus flavor. On Wednesdays, if you order two combos, they offer a free loaded queso appetizer ($10).

This was my first time trying Taco Mama in Auburn and it was a good experience. The service stood out right away because the cashier was friendly and walked me through the menu. The portion sizes are solid. I got a burrito with chips, a side, and a drink for $15.50 which is pretty reasonable. I will definitely come back.

They provide slightly fun and crave-able, good quality tacos with fresh ingredient topping options. Also, they sell nice small sides. I really wish for sour cream option to make the tacos alone seem complete. This complementing process is done by putting a good amount along the inside, against the shell, and slightly combined with their decent quality taco meat. The sour cream adds a nice satisfying element and helps combine the flavors to make the meal scrumptious. 🧀 🌮 💃 🥑 🍅 🥬 🥩🥛

Yummm. The vibe in here is amazing. The walls are covered in dope artwork and they have the game playing on the TVs throughout the restaurant which makes the whole atmosphere feel fun and alive. The staff is super friendly respectful and really welcoming. I ordered the Mayor plate with chicken tacos and a side of street corn and everything was honestly delicious. The chicken was seasoned perfectly the tortillas were soft and fresh and the street corn had the perfect amount of flavor and creaminess. Even the tortilla chips were fresh crispy and paired so well with their fresh salsa. I seriously cannot wait to come back and try the drinks next time.

I didn't know what a panini was before eating at Bizilia's Cafe. The bread is lightly browned and extremely soft and delicious. And, then, the sandwich toppings just take your tastebuds on a thrill ride you will want to ride again and again! I have now eaten here several times, and each meal has blown my mind! My favorite panini, so far, is the chicken pesto. It should be called the OMG Panini! I could eat this indescribably scrumptious sandwich EVERY DAY. Seriously. The flavors are absolutely perfect. I also recommend the potato salad (by the quart!) or pasta salad for sides. I also tried the blueberry bread, which I ate for dessert, but would be a yummy breakfast, too.

Very surprised at the high ratings. The sandwiches were barely okay. They were fine but we were a group of four and none of us felt we could say they were actually good. It sort of reminds of premade sandwiches you can pick up at the airport. Its fine if you just need something to eat, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you had other options. The owners (Im assuming they are the owners) are quite friendly and pleasant and the food is affordable.

Agave Loco Mexican Grill in Auburn and Opelika, AL offers a wide selection of burritos, fajitas, and combo meals. It's a popular spot for birthday celebrations, margaritas, or simply enjoying dinner. The restaurant is known for its affordable prices, friendly atmosphere, and convenient parking. While the food is described as heavy and filling with generous portions, some note that it can be on the oily and salty side.
This place was so good, it was for my son's birthday. The inside is decorated so lively and was really cool. All of our food was very good and cooked really well. Our server was very good and super nice. They sang to my son for his birthday and brought him out a super nice dessert. Looked like a sundae with churro chips on top. Would definitely recommend.
Brittany B — Google review
Ordered the fajita burrito steak and there was very little steak in my burrito. I was kind of disappointed my husband ordered just a steak burrito and he had a ton of steak in his so if you’re looking for the meat, just order the steak burrito because a fajita burrito has just a bunch of onions and a couple pieces of peppers in it and very little steak. The chili relleno that my husband got was mush. It was not crispy, which is what we asked for the chips were warm and good and we liked the red salsa. We also ordered the guacamole appetizer for four bucks and for the price It was good with those chunks of avocado and it was all right!

I was really excited to try this place given the reviews, but this was one of the worst Mexican restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll preface by saying they were very busy because of the football game but this could have been handled better. First, our server was also visibly rude when my older father asked him for something. The chips, salsa and queso were lackluster - lacking any flavor. Had the service been better, we would have overlooked this. We never even got our meal after sitting there for an hour, nor did our server come to tell us what was going on. This place charges for your 2nd batch of chips and salsa, yet he couldn’t even come bring us more, which we would have happily paid for. We paid eye contact with our server, who blatantly ignored us. Finally, we had to get up to check on our food and were told it would be another 15-20 mins (after an hour of being seated) - no apology, nothing. We decided to leave and the manager was apologetic, but they still charged us for chips and salsa which should have been complimentary given the wait.

Hands down on of the best Mexican restaurants in town and 100% the best in the current area in Opelika Road. The employees are friendly, fast and provide good service. Their house margaritas or skinny margaritas are delicious however they are WEAK, mostly mix. We had a FULL pitcher of margarita, got home 10 mins after dinner having drank a full pitcher and only blew a 0.01. So note to self, don’t waste your money on their margaritas! If you’re on Opelika Road and craving Mexican food, don’t let the outside of their building scare you off. Give them a try, you’ll enjoy!
Michael — Google review
Food is good, no doubt. DO NOT buy a pitcher of margaritas. Twice in a row, we got a pitcher of margaritas and it tasted like sour mix and weak. As in zero alcohol. We have a personal breathalyzer at home, and as soon as we got home got it out to check. Blew a 0.00 both times and it normally picks up alcohol after a single beer. Called to tell someone at the restaurant, and were hung up on. Called back in case it was an accident and the worker hung up on us again. Charging for alcoholic beverages/pitchers and serving just mix is a completely deceptive practice, and in Alabama is illegal (Alabama code 28-3A-25(a) and 8-19-5) And clearly it wasn’t a fluke. Shame, cause I actually liked the restaurant until now.

Agave Loco is a good go-to for lunch in Auburn. The food is consistently good, the service is reliable, and the prices are reasonable—especially for the lunch menu. It’s never been too busy when I’ve gone during the day, which makes it an easy and convenient option when you’re looking for something quick and satisfying. The atmosphere is a little on the dark side inside, and while I haven’t tried their drinks, the food has always hit the mark. Nothing over-the-top, but definitely a solid choice when you're in the area.

Staks Pancake Kitchen in Auburn is a popular choice for those looking for creative local breakfast options served all day. The restaurant offers a variety of signature pancake stacks, sweet French toast, and classic Southern biscuits and gravy. Customers rave about the delicious pancakes like banana pudding, strawberry shortcake, cinnamon roll, and birthday cake flavors. Despite the slightly unusual counter service, the efficiency of the restaurant ensures quick and hot food with attentive service.
Staks Kitchen is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is charming and cozy perfect for a relaxing breakfast. We were lucky to have Dominique as our server, and she was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful, she guided us through the menu and helped us choose some amazing dishes. We ordered the honey vanilla and cinnamon lattes both were rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For food, we tried the pork skillet and the shrimp omelette, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. Honestly, we wouldn’t change a thing. The service, food, and ambiance were all spot on. Staks Kitchen was completely worth the stop, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

We chose Staks for breakfast and drinks before an early game instead of tailgating. Long line but handled quickly. Good and interesting menu selection but very rigid. They will only cook food one way, which means hash browns couldn’t be made crispy and in my view were well under cooked with minimal browning if any. In contrast, bacon came out over cooked and brittle and not the as some on the table. Sent back and they cooked it perfectly. Their biscuits and gravy were good but not the “white” savory sausage gravy I was expecting from the menu but yellowish and fairly strong tasting with lots of butter or possibly cheese. The consistency seemed as if it had been made the day before and settle/separated. Still good. Once we hit 8:30, good Bloody Mary’s and mimosas.

We had a great time at Staks! The menu items offered were what drew us in. There was something there for all of us that we were craving. It was kind of strange to get your menu, go sit at your table then once you made your selection, walk to the counter to place your order...but it worked! Thankfully it wasn't super busy! We had breakfast tacos, breakfast burrito, breakfast quesadilla, lemon blueberry pancake, and chocolate chip pancakes all of which were a hit! Several people walked by, including managers, to check on us, make sure we had everything we needed and to top our drinks off. There were some AU football players and prospects eating there at the same time! It was cool to see them (since we are not from Auburn) out and about. We were told to check out the restrooms cool wallpaper but didn't think about it until we had already left. We will for sure be back on our next visit to Auburn!

During my recent visit to Auburn, I had the pleasure of dining at Staks Pancake Kitchen and was thoroughly impressed. We were seated immediately, which was a great start, and I noted how exceptionally clean and well-kept the entire restaurant felt. I treated myself to a substantial breakfast, and every element was delicious and perfectly cooked. The absolute standout, though, were the lemon blueberry pancakes – they were fluffy, flavorful, and genuinely some of the best pancakes I have ever eaten anywhere. If you're in Auburn, I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by Staks!
Jeremy B — Google review
We ordered and the food for whatever ordered was a bit pricey at 75$. They forgot to bring something to the table I ordered and had to get them to get and my sausage was not cooked well at all and I had to get them to cook it some more. Lady from register with purplish pink wig on came by the table and was rubbing chapstick all over mouth while asking us did we need anything.

Stacks definitely lived up to the hype when it comes to breakfast food. Everything I ordered was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot—perfect start to the day. The only hiccup was that my friend’s meal came out about five minutes later than mine, which threw off the timing a bit. Still, the quality of the food and the overall vibe made up for it. Would definitely come back, just hoping for a smoother kitchen flow next time.

I’ll preface this by saying we went to Staks in Auburn on Mother’s Day, which was also graduation weekend, so they had a $30/person buffet instead of the usual menu. We had an 8:45 AM reservation and were seated immediately. We liked the staff and the atmosphere. The buffet was beautifully set up in a separate room, with a pretty hand-lettered banner congratulating the Auburn Class of 2025. Pride in the Auburn community was evident. However, most of the food was a disappointment, and I’m wondering if that’s because Staks doesn’t usually offer buffet service. None of the food was hot - butter should melt on pancakes and biscuits! The biscuits and pastries were very dry, chicken tenders were chewy, sausage and sausage gravy were a bit spicy, and the pancakes were quite dense. My husband said the scrambled eggs were good - cooked a little runny, the way he likes them. Our son ate one pancake and was full. I had a cinnamon roll pancake with syrup and glaze, and two sausage patties - couldn’t eat the dry, cold biscuit and cinnamon pastry. Daughter-in-law had pancakes and eggs. None of us went back for a second plate. Drink refills were not correct, and when we asked for a replacement, it didn’t happen until the end of our meal when we asked for to-go cups. Today’s breakfast was not a good value, as our bill for breakfast was $130 for our party of four. Would not return for a buffet, but might try Staks for regular menu service.

The complete shining stars this experience was the fried Chicken on the chicken stack. A huge piece of chicken that was cooked perfectly and seasoned deliciously. Lemon blueberry pancakes were good, but you'll want to get a side of syrup to go with them. The grits tasted like a combination of grits, gravy, and potato soup. Great flavor if it hits the spot. Biscuits were HYUGE!

We tried this place on the recommendation of a local blog, Off the Eaten Path. I wanted to like it, but honestly, I didnt. Well, let me correct that, the cheese dip and chips were amazing. We will go back for just those. The flavors were not what we expected. Not sure if that is because we are used to American style Mexican food, and this is more authentic Mexican food. The chicken was over cooked. The carne asada was tough although my son said it had good flavor. Given the disappointment in those two dishes, my wife was leery of trying the barbacoa. The service was slow, but that was actually a plus, because everything was prepared fresh. Doubt if we will return for anything other than the chips and queso.

Ross House Coffee is a charming and historic coffee shop located in Auburn, just a short walk from the town center. Housed in a 111-year-old renovated home with traditional charm and modern touches, it offers excellent products and top-notch customer service six days a week. The menu features delectable treats such as baked oatmeal muffins, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches.
Ross House has been my 3rd spot in Auburn for some time, and not only does it carry the spirit of the community, but the service/food are amazing. I love their roast, but importantly I love the people and the atmosphere created by staff. A chance to slow down, get some time alone, or have a great conversation and catch up on the week. Whatever you need at the time. I highly recommend to any visitors. Their locations on Magnolia and the original will provide the morning encouragement you need.

Cozy atmosphere to study in, great food and drinks. My main gripe is the varying waiting times until your order gets through: you could be waiting anywhere between 5 minutes to even over 30 minutes for it. One time I asked about my order after 30mins of waiting, and they said apparently it didn’t have a name…? So it was put aside for other orders…? Only after then they started working on my order. Either way, plz have better means of tracking peoples’ orders :)

Some of the best coffee in Auburn, they make a very good cortado, however the dark roast beans used for espresso aren't the most pleasant for just a shot of that. Ross House does have a large selection of pastries and food, the chocolate muffins are excellent, especially when they are warmed up, the cinnamon rolls are decent, not as cinnamony as I would like. It can get busy there in the evening due to its proximity to 160 Ross. They do have a large patio out front to work or hangout on, along with ample parking around back.

Haven’t been to jimbobs in years forgot why I stopped eating there. So I placed an order for a 10 pc wing meal, fried crispy, with medium sauce, wet…. Well let’s just say It quickly came back to me why I stop eating here years ago. The wings were gigantic dinosaur size. They were not fried crispy, they were not wet with sauce. The wings were so soft and soggy that they tasted baked not fried. and the fries so wimpy I had to bring home and put in the air fryer. I could only get down 4 wings and the rest I had to throw away. I appreciate the reminder Jimbobs… just hate it cost me $15 to learn my lesson..

Food is delicious every time and the people are always nice. I love going here, but a simple thing (numerous times) grinds my gears.....blue cheese. I request blue cheese with my wings and EVERY SINGLE TIME I get ranch. I know it is a simple thing, yes, but I would like to get what I paid for. Today sitting down to my delicious wings I was so excited for their yummy food. Upon opening the celery container it contained 6 cups of ranch. Not only did I want blue cheese, I also ordered extra. PLEASE LABEL YOUR DRESSING SO THIS DOESN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. A small thing yes, but it will make people happy in the end.

A solid four stars that could be 5 stars if the fried pickles and mozzarella sticks were made in house vs frozen that are simply fried to order. The salad was tasty, but it didn't have much chicken on it for the price. My son liked the tenders, but the frozen crinkle fries were mealy as they weren't fried crispy, and the toast was over buttered and needed napkins to wipe off the excess oil.

Went for the first time to try the dog. I ordered a regular dog. I got a chili dog. I didn’t make a fuss about it. I paid in cash and added my extra change to the tip jar, and the cashier practically threw my change at me and had an overall sour face. I’ve worked for tips where people didn’t tip anything so I thought better to tip something than nothing, maybe she didn’t think so. So yeah, this is a one and done for me. Not curious to try again because of order accuracy issues and unfriendly service.

I was traveling back home from the casino. I wanted a chilli dog, so I Googled a spot and came across this location. The Chilli Dog was good. The only complaint I have is the the Price was too High for a simple Chilli Dog. Second the size of the Hot Dog wasn't sufficient for the price. I purchased 1 Chilli Dog with onions, they even charged for the little cup of onions. Yes I know that I could have took my business some place else. I am simply saying if you gonna charge the current price give the customer something more than a very small bun,weiner and a spoon of Chilli. A bag of chips would be nice with the price. I paid 4 dollars and change for 1 hot dog, No drink, No Chips. Good luck going forward times are getting harder.

Between the gorgeous atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service, Botanic is a true gem in Auburn. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a great relaxing place for a drink at lunch! Cannot specifically review dinner or the coffee shop. We had lunch and the corn dip was amazing and the chips served with it perfect! Our drinks were great. I had the salad special and my husband had a crepe with steak. The entrees needed a lot more flavor. The steak did not seem seasoned and was a bit bland. The salad was not the best. I’ll go back and try the strawberry salad though. Wish we had saved room for dessert so that I could review that. Next trip. We walked through everything and loved the atmosphere! The plants and water features are a great addition to the relax feel. Staff was super nice! We’ll be back in hopes of finding an entree we enjoy, but overall value wasn’t there for us.

10/10 I can almost eat here everyday! Best place in town. The atmosphere was breathtaking and food was on point. My friend and I got the crepes, I got the veggie crepe. It was a little awkward to eat but we got it down just fine and it was delicious. They also have in door/out door patio and decks, they have a coffee pastry shop as well and outdoor space there too. I wish I was there for the live music if you do go check out when they have life bands. They are closed on Monday’s fyi. You can spend hours her just enjoying all the plants! If I’m ever back there I will definitely be eating here again!

Botanic is an experience! I decided to book reservations online for brunch, in case it was a busy Sunday. At the time I didn’t not realize this was a brunch buffet, however, I’m so glad we ended up with that experience. The buffet had a variety of both breakfast and lunch items, a waffle bar and a wide variety of sweets and pastries. We had a wonderful time exploring the garden, grounds, greenhouse and even left with plants. Such a fun place to visit, highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful brunch buffet today at Botanic in Opelika! The setting is breathtaking — with a gorgeous lake view, beautifully kept gardens, and peaceful grounds perfect for a walk before or after your meal. The buffet itself was outstanding, with so many fresh and flavorful options. The standout dishes for us were the Mississippi pot roast (absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious) and the blueberry cheesecake, which was the perfect sweet finish. Every bite felt like it was made with real care. On top of the food and scenery, the service was just as impressive. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home, and our waitress Carson was fantastic — attentive, kind, and a big part of why our experience was so enjoyable. Botanic is a true gem in Opelika — the kind of place where you can enjoy a beautiful meal, relax in nature, and leave already looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommend!

Such a grand place. You are inside a beautiful garden. You can buy plants, trees, food items, clothing at their "houses". Food is 5-star. Brunch is more than you can imagine.

Mexican restaurant
El Taco Veloz is a must-visit spot for authentic Mexican street tacos in Auburn. Despite being a bit of a drive, it's worth it for their delicious $1 tacos. Additionally, they serve breakfast with an array of options including burritos and tamales, and are planning to add a small cafe for coffee enthusiasts. The Birria and Alpastor Tacos are popular choices for lunch but tend to sell out quickly.
Did you know Taco Veloz opens for breakfast!!! Amazing burritos and tamales they plan on adding a small Cafe for us coffee lovers 🤩🤩!! They have a-lot of breakfast options go and try it out !! Oh and for lunch I love eating the Birria and Alpastor Tacos 🌮😍😍 they sell out quick 🤩

Just had the best street tacos I’ve ever eaten in the U.S. — the carnitas were unbelievably good: tender, flavorful, perfectly crisped. It’s a small, unassuming spot with super friendly staff, and everything is cooked fresh to order. The mother makes the tamales and im sure other items. prices were fair for it being cooked to order. I haven't found flavors like this locally, no ones coming close to these. The extra hot salsa a must. Wow is the word I said out loud in the booth while eating these. They let me mix and match my four tacos (normally it’s three), which was nice. Card machines being a little difficult but tech is tech. Patio seating for larger parties. Tight parking. If I’m being picky, I would’ve liked an extra lime wedge — but honestly, that’s so minor probably not worth mentioning. They deliver too. Overall: extremely impressed, satisfied, and highly recommend. Go try it fast. will definitely be going back

Coffee shop
Mama Mocha's Coffee Emporium AUBURN LOCATION has transformed from a small coffee shop into an impressive emporium. The coffee selection is diverse and robust, offering the best locally roasted beans in the Auburn-Opelika area. The trendy and cultural atmosphere may appeal more to college-age individuals, but visitors of all ages can enjoy the friendly service and engaging conversations with the local staff. This alternative and welcoming spot offers creative beverages that are definitely worth trying.
Great place, alternative and friendly with anybody! Service great and beverages are awesome and creative! I've been leaving 6 months in Auburn and barely discovered, damm! I'll be there soon again!

Probably the best locally roasted coffee in the Auburn-Opelika area. If you want local whole bean for the house this is the best place to get it that’s roasted on site. The atmosphere is very trendy and cultural (a little too much for me, a non-college age person). If you’re college age you’ll love it. Friendly service, but most of all best locally roasted beans.

Art by local artists. Eclectic locally made and other things for sale. Great classic playlist filling the background audio. Great original choices of custom crafted coffees and food. Everything you could want in a coffee shop. Wish I had one walking distance from home back in Atlanta! But alas - this place is one of a kind. I'll just have to come back to Auburn and to Mama Mocha's when I do.

Visiting my son. He told me about this shop. I liked the atmosphere instantly. The staff was two young people who were just locals, not college students - very friendly and engaged in informative conversation with an out-of- towner, though it was very close to closing time. The young man even followed me out because I had forgotten my gloves. Highly recommended.

I came here after a meeting for a quick debrief with my co-workers and for a quick bite & coffee. I ordered a latte with almond milk. Honestly, it was freaking delicious. The milk was perfectly foamed (it didn't look super pretty), but it was the perfect balance of creamy milk, warm foam, strong coffee, and non-bitterness. It was gone before I knew it! Also ordered a biscuit sandwich which was good. It came in this oversized take out container which I thought was strange. Another thing that I thought was strange was a list of rules on a wall that dictated the rules of the coffee shop. One of them in particular was interesting - you must buy something every 2 hours. I mean, I get it for the business purpose, but it's kind of rude to tell me what to order and when to order. The furniture is odd and end pieces that you could find in an antique or thrift place. It all works with the funky vibe of the place. Coffee, great. Ambiance, Funky. Rules, no thanks.

Our server today was Hayden, and he was SO KIND and AWESOME!!! My girlfriend and I went here for the first time today and he was SO patient and welcoming towards us and even went above and beyond to help us out with some personalized recommendations based off our dietary restrictions and beverage preferences (the Dirty Hippie was really good!). He brought out our drinks quickly and efficiently, and after I asked for a cup of ice to cool our hot drinks down a bit, he got that for us quickly and cheerfully as well! Another server, Bree, was also nice and friendly! Honestly, we think this place deserves ALL the attention! We will definitely be coming back again!!! 😃 Also, as far as I am aware, THEY OFFER MILK ALTERNATIVES AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, which is super appreciated by lactose intolerant latte lovers like us! It is great to be able to enjoy a drink with milk without the discomfort from the lactose AND without feeling like we are being punished with an extra fee for a substitution to alleviate something which is no fault of our own! We definitely feel that more coffee shops should do this to be inclusive of their lactose intolerant and vegan customers! 🤗 Mama Mocha's, y'all were AMAZING, FANTASTIC, and INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for welcoming us to your awesome business today! We will be sure to return and recommend this place to our friends! 🌞

When I came across my receipt from purchase (today) I remembered how I didn't like it and gave a review. Drove all the way from Prattville thinking I was going to get some tasty beignets but it wasn't. The butter cream was delicious but the beignets tasted too yeasty and the they should've changed the grease they fried them in. Had the grease been fresh it may have been a better review. I went at 950a on 10/12

A Serious Warning About Skybar Café in Auburn, Alabama To: Parents, Students, and Community Members Skybar Café on Magnolia Avenue in Auburn is widely known among Auburn University students. It’s often considered the weekend party spot—popular, crowded, and energetic. But it’s time to talk seriously about what’s happening there. If you're a student at Auburn, you’ve likely heard concerning stories about Skybar: a co-owner being a registered sex offender, his brother and co-owner allegedly covering for him, reports of people being drugged, sexually assaulted, and more. Maybe you, like me, thought: That would never happen to me. I’m careful. I’m smart. But I’m here to tell you—it can happen to anyone. I moved to Auburn in August 2022 and began visiting Skybar shortly after. Like many others, I became comfortable there. The staff knew me, I never went alone, and I always saw familiar faces. I truly believed I was safe. Then came Friday, July 12. I was out with friends, dancing, drinking, and enjoying the night. After taking a shot with a friend and making a quick trip to the bathroom, I ordered a rum punch at the bar. That’s the last memory I have of the night. I was later found unconscious in a booth. A friend took me to his place, thinking I had one drink too many. But shortly after, I began seizing—repeatedly. He called 911. I was transported to the ER by ambulance and continued seizing every 30 seconds for several hours. My blood was drawn. Test results showed I had been drugged—and not just with a typical “date rape” drug. I had been given cocaine. Let me be clear: I have never used cocaine, and I did not ingest it willingly. The cocaine, combined with alcohol, sent my blood alcohol content soaring above 0.20%. The interaction triggered nonstop seizures. I could have gone into cardiac arrest. I could have had a stroke. I could have died. By the grace of God, I survived and was able to return home with my parents later that day. I reached out to one of the owners. He had previously claimed Skybar was meant to be a “female-safe” environment. He assured me the bar was covered by cameras (excluding the bathrooms), and I believed him. I asked him to review the footage. He told me there was “nothing nefarious” and that I “disappeared” for 18 minutes on camera—despite not leaving the bar. Weeks later, I learned I had been banned from Skybar. I received no explanation. Friends began asking questions. That’s when the truth surfaced: Multiple employees confirmed that on the night I was drugged, an unknown man had his hands up my skirt and inside my shorts while I was unconscious. A bouncer removed him when he falsely claimed to be my “friend.” None of this—not the drugging, not the sexual assault, not the 18-minute disappearance—was captured on camera, despite claims that Skybar has full surveillance. Three major incidents. Zero accountability. And instead of seeking justice or protecting others, the owner banned me—the victim. ________________________________________ This is not a warning to create panic—it is a call for awareness, safety, and change. To the Auburn community: If you or someone you know has had a similar experience, please speak up. You are not alone, and your voice matters. I was lucky to survive. Others may not be. It’s time to hold people accountable and protect each other. — A concerned student and survivor

Bar is awesome but only thing I don't like about the place is they change the price of drinks every hour. Like I paid 1$ for Bud light at 8 and around 10 it was 3.5 $. Maybe that's a American things. Overall the place is cool but pricing sucks.

Marco's Pizza is a popular counter-serve chain known for its specialty and custom pizzas available for takeout or delivery. Customers have shared positive experiences with the brand, praising their efficient service and delicious, hot pizzas. In one instance, Marco's Pizza came to the rescue after another pizza joint canceled an order and delivered quality pies earlier than expected at a more affordable price.
Wonderful gluten free pizza! Once or twice it’s been overcooked (I’ve eaten here many times!), but I’ve never had a problem getting a pizza remade or credit if there’s a problem, you just have to ask it be made right. I’ve had it delivered once or twice to a local location with no problem, but usually take out. Place is small but clean, friendly and helpful. Best of all, if you like to order the same thing each time they can look up a previous order by your phone number and just duplicate it. Love it!

When I call this store to ask why Door Dash is delivering food, they tell me they are short staffed and using them to deliver food.

The pizza was very hot, and $45 cheaper. I also ordered 10 pies from marcos. I will never call the other joint again. I deleted the old joints. Thanks for saving the day Marcos!!!

I ordered pizza from the N. Dean Rd location in Auburn, AL...There was a bit of a problem with the delivery of our order. I called the store and they were the nicest young men anybody could have asked to have worked with. They were polite and even brought us fresh pizza back to our house after closing time, to make what happened, right. When the guy brought me our dinner back, he apologized and told us to have a blessed night! I was very impressed and grateful for their professionalism. They are rare in customer service these days!

McDonald's is a beloved fast-food institution that has stood the test of time, famous for its iconic burgers and crispy fries. One of the standout items on their breakfast menu is the delightful hash brown patties, which are expertly cooked to achieve a fluffy interior and a perfectly crispy exterior. These golden treats make an excellent companion to any breakfast selection at McDonald's.
When we got home there were a couple items missing, that's the reason for the 4 stars on the service. Other than that, the food was delicious and customer service was a 10. If they would make sure everything was in the bag, it would have been perfect. I honestly don't know how often this happens, it could have been one in a million.

I enjoy visiting McDonald's for their delicious Sausage Egg McMuffin meal with a small premium roast coffee. It's a delightful combo, and I often add a hash brown inside the McMuffin with ketchup for an extra kick. My only wish is that this store would stay open 24 hours, as I sometimes crave their breakfast menu late at night🔥 Recently, I was thrilled to discover they had new Happy Meal toys. Excited, I rushed to the store with my friends and ordered four Happy Meals. However, to our disappointment, all four of us received the exact same character toy🥹😭🥲😱😡👿 I had heard there were around 50 different characters to collect, so we expected some variety. It left us feeling a bit disheartened. Hopefully, they can improve the toy distribution for a more exciting Happy Meal experience in the future. 😭 I revisited, but even after an hour, I still hadn’t received a menu. Despite repeatedly asking, no one brought it, which impacted my schedule. The staff didn’t seem coordinated, and with a large number of customers waiting, it was frustrating to see orders piling up with no cancellations. The experience was very disappointing😮‍💨

I arrived at this location at 6:00am. And the doors to the lobby were locked. The sign on the store claims they have new opening hours at 5:00am and the original sign says 6:00am. I guess the management just opens it when they feel like it with no concern for potential customers. While attempting to open the door, an employee broom in hand just stared at me shaking her head and walked back to the kitchen. The service industry in Auburn, AL is definitely subpar.

Go to another location if you are able. Wait times are bad (even if you apply deserved grace for busy times, exceptionally bad) Staff does not care about customers or their jobs at all. I’ve been here at multiple times of day (morning, lunch rush, random times, late) and it’s consistently bad. It’s not just rush. It’s not just shorthanded crews. It’s even during shifts with plenty of staff. I’ve waited for 30 minutes before being addressed at the drive thru multiple times. They lock the interior doors so there’s no one to contact (I’d already paid and it had been too long to cancel so I couldn’t just drive away) Consistently just bad employees and not worth your time. I am usually one to give extra grace to fast food workers, but this place is an exception.

Dunkin' is a well-established chain known for its famous breakfast options and various coffee beverages. The ambiance inside the shop is dimly lit and calm, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Although some may describe it as dingy, it's actually quite pleasant with a few customers enjoying the vibe. The prices are budget-friendly, making it an attractive choice despite its slightly remote location. This hidden gem offers avocado toast that is truly delightful.
I guess I’m going to have to become a regular now. I travel to Auburn for work from out of town rather frequently. Both young ladies on night shift last night were amazing. I don’t go to Dunkin very often and they helped me with my order. With this kind of service, I will gladly stop by more often.

I visited location and not only was the order taker rude but this is what my drink looked like after me leaving and back on my way to work from my lunch break.

I love Dunkin and my order almost always tastes phenomenal. The drinks and food are consistently great and keep me coming back. The only thing stopping me from giving a full 5 stars is the service. Most of the time the experience is smooth and the staff is friendly, but there have been a few occasions where the service felt rushed or the workers came off as dismissive. It’s not the norm, but it does stand out when it happens. Still, the quality of the food and drinks makes it worth visiting.

I picked up my order on the way to work, so I had nothing to eat until lunch as this location completely messed up my order.

Ordered cream cheese bagel. Awful! Tasted like sour cream. I ask what kind of filling was in the filled donuts, she said they had nothing inside, just chocolate on the outside. It did have filling in it just as I thought and my favorite cream filling. Employees were nice but had no clue about what they sold lol

Hot dog restaurant
Five Guys is a popular fast-food chain known for its made-to-order burgers, fries, and hot dogs. The restaurant offers fresh ground beef for their famous burgers, along with their renowned Five Guys Style or Cajun style fries. Customers can also enjoy a variety of hot dogs and sandwiches. Despite the absence of peanuts due to COVID-19 restrictions, the place remains a favorite spot for many due to its delicious offerings.
I recently ordered a plain cheeseburger from Five Guys, and it was a delightful experience🤍 The simplicity of just a juicy patty and melted cheese allowed the quality of the ingredients to shine. The burger was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were on point🔥 Five Guys continues to impress with their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. If you're a fan of classic, no-frills cheeseburgers, this is the place to be!

The food is delicious, however it really does take a while for them to make it. Definitely do not consider this "fast" food. If you have the time to sit in and relax, then definitely stop by. Grab you some complimentary peanuts and prepare to enjoy a really juicy, delicious burger. And the rumor about the fries is true, they'll load you up! But again, please do not come in here with the expectation that you're going to get your food within 5-10 minutes, especially if there's a lot of people. They make the food to order so there's nothing ready made.

The workers there are so sweet and helped solve my issue I had today! Somehow my order got lost in translation from the check out to the kitchen and when the place was empty and I didn’t see anything cooking, I was worried and I asked one of the ladies (I wish I got her name because she was lovely) about it and she was super apologetic and gave me a credit to apply the next time I go. She even offered to make me a milkshake when I got my order because of the wait, but I declined that as I already got a soda with my meal. I brought my food back home and it was delicious too! Great customer service and will definitely go back again because of it.

Fries for Days, but That Price Tho... First off, let’s talk about the fries—Five Guys does not mess around. They give you enough fries to feed a small village. I ordered a small, and I’m pretty sure they just dumped an extra potato farm into my bag. No complaints there. Now, onto the little bacon cheeseburger. It was delicious, like really delicious—juicy patty, crispy bacon, melty cheese, the works. But here’s where I’m scratching my head: when did a “little” burger start costing more than a whole combo meal at Culver’s? Don’t get me wrong, Culver’s burgers are also amazing, but you get the whole package there—burger, fries, drink—for less than the price of this solo burger adventure at Five Guys. To sum it up: amazing food, massive fry portions, but I might need to start budgeting for my next little bacon cheeseburger. Oh and hello to Mary if you're reading this! 🤪

Inflation hit 5 Guys hard… $12 for a Double cheeseburger alone, and another $5 for a little french fry. Not worth it anymore. Explains why the store is always empty. Great chain, but their prices have exceeded value. Big bummer.

On 6/24/24 me and a buddy stopped by here to get burgers for lunch. Food was awesome, as always, but the reason for my five star review more than anything else is the exceptional service we received here. My buddy accidentally dropped out over 50$ cash from his pocket. We left the store and returned a little over two hours later only to have the three employees in the store immediately tell us they had found the cash and we’re waiting on us too return for it. I don’t know their names, but the three employees yesterday on the afternoon shift showed an incredible degree of integrity, and moral upstanding the kind the deserves to be recognized.

Gross. Burger was supposed to be a lettuce wrap. What I received was a bunch of—nearly expired—ingredients in an aluminum pan. Lettuce was browning… Other burger ordered was not much better (stale bun and very dry patty. The reason I am leaving this review is because both of us have upset stomachs today. For the money this was terrible. Won’t be back…

Waffle House is a straightforward chain eatery that serves traditional American diner food, specializing in all-day breakfast options such as their famous waffles. Customers have reported varying experiences at this establishment, with some encountering slow service and rude staff members. However, others have found the experience to be exactly what they expect from a Waffle House, noting the delicious hashbrowns as a standout item.
I really needed to write this review. The food was excellent, but the service was perfect. I believe her name is Lisa, she was very kind to all the tables, put on a birthday song for a girl who was celebrating her birthday and was always ready and excited to serve everyone. She and her staff are to be congratulated, I felt very comfortable eating here.

They are open 24/7 which is nice except they only do takeout on Friday/Saturday nights as of recently. I normally only go later at night and the staff are very friendly. They take care to memorize peoples' names and their orders while creating a homely environment. The one time I went during the day shift it wasn't as pleasant of an experience but they might have had an off day. My only issue is a general lack of consistency. Depending on which night/time I go and which set of servers/cooks are on staff, the meal can range in its quality. There is one set of people where my order is flawless every time, including specific preferences and service. With another set of people my waffle is usually half cooked and the bacon is slightly overcooked and tangled in a pile instead of grilled alongside each other. With a different set of people I had to wait an hour before being served and it was not a busy night. Again though, the night shift has never been anything short of incredibly friendly. This isn't enough to ruin the experience, its just strange that management doesn't do occasional inspections to make sure the quality is consistent because its almost worth memorizing the shifts to grantee your meal will be great. Also, to give the staff credit, it seems like most nights they are usually understaffed and that likely puts more stress on the workers. I think most nights they literally only have 2-3 people on shift, and there are four different positions listed on their website so I think most staff have to double up their responsibilities.

Waffle House always offers a good value. The only thing they don’t seem to get right is when I asked for my eggs over medium and they come out very runny with the whites not cooked, but other than that, I love their grits and of course love their waffles sausage patties are good bacon’s good. It’s a good value

I usually don’t leave reviews, but my recent experience at this Waffle House was too disappointing not to share… Our server, Janet, was incredibly inattentive from the start. She didn’t offer to refill our drinks, never brought us straws, and overall seemed more interested in her phone than her customers. Throughout our meal, she walked around the restaurant with her phone on speaker, having conversations. Then proceeded to chat with coworkers about how she’s better than another employee and why she shouldn’t be fired. Totally inappropriate and uncomfortable to hear while trying to eat. Despite the lackluster service, I still left a cash tip on the table and paid the check. When I didn’t add a tip to the receipt, Janet loudly complained to the entire restaurant that I didn’t tip, which was not only rude but completely untrue and unnecessary. Even for Waffle House I expected better service when dining out - I will not be going back to this location.

Second location I've been to that is not doing to-go orders. South College location has a sign posted saying To-Go orders only from 9pm-6am, cool! Before leaving to come on campus, I called the store to see if they were the same. Automated system tells you they are not taking to go orders over the phone, but you can come in to get a to-go order. Now once I'm here I get told by Terry, no they can't do to-go orders because they will get in trouble!! Had to sit down and order then ask for a to-go box JUST to get a kids waffle, two eggs scrambled with cheese and grits for my 4 year old.

Cicis Pizza is an Italian chain known for its endless buffet featuring a variety of specialty pizzas, simple pastas, fresh salads, and delicious desserts. The dough is made from scratch daily, the sauce is a blend of vine-ripened tomatoes and spices, and signature salads are hand-tossed with the freshest ingredients. Guests under 3 years old can enjoy the buffet for free.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Experience at CiCi’s Pizza! I took my two young sons to CiCi’s for lunch and we had a fantastic time! The buffet was fresh and had a great variety that kept the kids happy (especially those cinnamon rolls!). But what really stood out was the outstanding customer service. One of the employees went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. When they noticed we were waiting for a certain kind of pizza, they kindly offered to make a fresh, custom pizza just for us. It came out hot and perfect—exactly what we wanted. That kind of care and attention means so much, especially as a parent trying to keep little ones happy. Clean restaurant, helpful staff, great food, and a family-friendly atmosphere—we’ll definitely be back. Thank you, CiCi’s, for making our visit so enjoyable!

Absolutely disgusting restaurant. Should have demanded a refund and left but my toddler really wanted pizza, even though she didn’t even get to eat because of the horrible service and options. When we paid and came around to where the pizzas were there was smooshed brownies covering the floor, as well as pizza sauce, salad toppings, pizza toppings, napkins, straws, etc. We had to clean off a table just to eat (and no the place was not busy). 4/10 drink options were out of order. No lids for the cups, imagine a 3 year old trying to drink out of a cup with no lid. The noodle/cheese/marinara sauce was COLD. The hot bar was empty with the only pizza choices being buffalo chicken and a bbq pizza. No simple pepperoni or sausage for the kids. It took forever to get fresh pizzas out. Dessert bar was empty only a few crusty cinnamon rolls left. I will NOT come back to this location. I’d have better luck making pizza lunchables in my car.

Food quality: The food was awful. Pizza was either overcooked/borderline burnt or severely undercooked. As my pictures show the bread on the pizza was floppy and doughy. Salad toppings looked old and wilted too. Service: Lady running the register seemed untrained and confused. Cleanliness: The tables were dirty, the floor was oily, and some trash on the floor. The price: 9.99$ for adult buffet drink not included. 2.19$ for a drink. This location needs a competent manager and better trained staff to be worth the price. Do not recommend.

So disappointed! This was the worst Cicis I’ve ever been to. We have to visit when we are out of town since ours closed. Literally over half the tables were dirty. If we had seen this prior to paying, we would have walked right back out. Service was minimal. No variety of pizzas…Same 3 or 4. No soup brought out during our whole visit after being assured 3 times it was coming. One employee spoke no English and didn’t know what shredded cheese was. Will not be back. Cicis…DO BETTER!

Im only giving it one start to make this review. I visited for lunch with my boys today and was extremely disappointed by the condition of the restaurant. The tables hadn't been cleaned, and the buffet area was in disarray with food scattered everywhere. All the pizzas were gone, and the restaurant was nearly empty. While I understand that during slower hours, replenishing the buffet may be less frequent, the overall cleanliness and organization were unacceptable. Had I known the state of the establishment before sitting down, I would have requested a refund. I took pictures and really hate the fact that I can’t post.

My husband and I went to Waffle House to have lunch. That waitress was very unprofessional, was not friendly at all. As soon as we sat down she just stood there wanting our order, she was like I’ll be back. Did not even take our drink order. After a few minutes she was across the restaurant and ready now. That is just rude. When you are in this type of job, you depend on tips. If she does not get a better attitude she will receive poor tips if any. But the other waitress was very friendly.

Cook Out is a branch of a quick-service eatery renowned for its convenient drive-thru option and an extensive range of milkshake flavors exceeding 40. The staff is amicable, and the presence of a handwashing station in the lobby is appreciated; however, it loses its purpose somewhat when one has to touch the trash receptacle to dispose of paper towels. It would be beneficial for them to improve their table cleaning frequency as during two visits, several initial tables inspected were unclean.
On a field trip with a bus load of teenagers I suggested Cookout for their low prices and fast service and this location DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! We pulled in with no notice and fed 30 hungry teens in less than 20 minutes. Orders were taken expeditiously and they got them out with great accuracy and speed! Very impressed with how they handled this!

Extremely dissatisfied with my last visit. I went there on December 11th, 2024 around 1 am (a couple of hours before they close) after a long road trip, super hungry. I was immediately met with a rude & annoyed tone of voice when I ordered & when I pulled up to pay, the cashier loudly complained about how another car was coming in to her other coworkers and rolled her eyes. Like I get yall are tired & prob don’t wanna work, but it doesn’t take much to be nice, especially if yall don’t close for another couple of hours. The thing that irritated me tho was my order got messed up. I had asked for beef quesadillas & they gave me all cheese & threw three nuggets in the tray (not even a complete order, man). Cajun fries were good though. My advice is don’t work at a place with late hours if you don’t want to actually work the late hours.

I am editing this to say the grilled chicken was so tough I barely could chew it literally the worst five dollars I’ve ever spent First of all, when I tried to place my order, the person working at the drive-through, kept interrupting me, so when I proceeded to get around to the window, and they tell me the total, I knew it was incorrect. So I asked them if they heard me order a milkshake to which the guy mumbled nah. I then asked if I could add one on and you would think that I asked for a kidney. Literally the worst service ever. Then as I pull away and unwrap my $4.85 sandwich literally the piece of grilled chicken breast was smaller than a chicken nugget. Do better cook out

I have been going to Cookout for a few weeks. I I've been trying to try their chicken nuggets for the last two visits. The first time I went they gave me hush puppies but it was a very busy night so I let it go. I went tonight ordered the barbecue sandwich onion rings and chicken nuggets. I told the drive-through person that the last time I came through they gave me Hush Puppies instead of chicken nuggets to be sure to make sure that I got chicken nuggets. I get home once again I have hush puppies. Someone in the kitchen is bagging up the food does not know the difference between a chicken nugget and a hush puppy. I have to give them a bad rating this time because this is the second time that this has happened and I told the person twice to try to prevent thing and I still got the wrong thing. I was trying to get on out the line so I did not check that's my fault. But still this should not be happening two visits in a row. I tried to call but no one would answer and I live too far to go back tonight. So when you order at Cook-Out please be sure to check your food especially if you order chicken nuggets because you might come home with hush puppies.

Stopped at this location along the way to our destination and was shocked to learn that even with a valid military ID, you are denied a military discount unless you are in uniform. That is deeply disappointing. People who serve this country deserve respect and appreciation, not conditions attached to basic gratitude. To make matters worse, every drink from the machine comes out watered down. If you want a refill, you have to wait for someone behind the counter to fill it for you at the other fountain. For a $50 meal for three, the quality and service here were unacceptable. Do better.

This Zaxby’s is usually on point, but this morning (10:40am) I received cold, over done, barely seasoned fries and barley warm chicken fingers. I was told the order would be ready in a few minutes.

I recently dined at Zaxby's Chicken Fingers & Buffalo Wings, and my experience left me with mixed feelings. The interior ambiance was a bit moody, which set a relaxed tone for the meal. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and accommodating, making the visit enjoyable🤗 I ordered the #3 combo, which includes both boneless fingers and wings. While the wings were a delight, bursting with delicious flavors, three of the chicken fingers were disappointingly salty🥲 This inconsistency in taste was a letdown, especially considering the reputation of Zaxby's. Despite the hit-and-miss with the food, the warm service and pleasant atmosphere certainly left a positive impression😊 I would recommend Zaxby's for its flavorful wings, but advise caution when it comes to the chicken fingers' seasoning. Overall, it's a decent spot for a casual meal, but quality control could be improved🙂

I never do this but I simply have to write this review. We have never been so appalled by service at a fast food establishment. There are clearly upwards of 7 people working inside not counting the kitchen staff, they were all joking around and eating food and drinking while we sat and waited. They might as well have closed before we could even get our food. We stayed at the drive thru pickup window for easily 30 minutes. Will not be returning. If the manager ever sees this I hope they handle this accordingly. This was simply unacceptable.

I was the only car at the drive through as I made my order which was a Zax snack. I pulled to the window and the girl opened the window immediately and I said can I make it a boneless wings and things and she said of course. Then she came back and said they said they already made it. It took me a few seconds to get to the window and for her to tell them it took maybe a minute. All they had to do was add the boneless wings to the plate. Then the manager comes and asks what the problem was and I said I didn’t know it was one and I just asked to add boneless wings to a plate. He tells me well our window time goes up when you change an order. I was the ONLY person in line period so window time is more important than what you ask for. They had my meal ready in 1 minute. The fries were full of grease and old looking which you could tell they had been sitting there and dipped back in the grease. Their food at this location is never fresh. Tigertown location is always fresh and their staff is amazing. I love Zaxby’s, but won’t return to this location

I enjoyed my visit to this location. When I entered, I noticed the inside was very clean. I ordered a 6 piece Chicken Tender plate for Dine-In. The staff were exceptionally satisfactory and very friendly. The food was amazing and I had a good time. Definitely will be coming back!

Please stop reheating super old chicken/fries :( I adore zaxbys and the workers are almost always super kind, and when I get a freshly cooked boneless wings meal it’s delicious! But I would say 40-50% of the time, I get chicken that is so old I can’t bite through it, and fries that are also obviously old to the point where the meal is basically inedible, and I’m not a picky person. It would be a 5-star review if this wasn’t such a common occurrence, hoping this can be addressed:)

I ordered 3 combos with traditional lemon pepper wings. Once I got home, I found that two of the combos had the boneless wings. We were not happy with the boneless wings. Not only did they give us boneless wings, they were over cooked and unedible. We were looking forward to trying the lemon pepper wings and were very disappointed to receive boneless wings instead.

Fast food restaurant
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a vibrant fast-food chain that brings the rich flavors of Cajun cuisine to your plate. Originating in a New Orleans suburb in 1972, this beloved eatery has become synonymous with its mouthwatering crispy fried chicken and delectable chicken sandwiches. The menu is a celebration of Louisiana-inspired dishes, featuring everything from spicy wings to savory Cajun rice, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Overall, it was okay. I can say they food was good and fresh . I didn't like that I had to be up charged for a drink because supposedly they didn't have any small lids, i had to return a cup because a hair was inside of it and the fact that the drink machine where ice comes out is full of mold which should probably be a health code violation but again the food was really good. Update as of 12/11/2024 @2:08pm I stop by to grab lunch and bit into half done chicken wings, which is highly unsanitary 😠

No complaints on the quality of food. But the server was rude. I responded rudely too, that is when she toned her voice down. Being in consumer business, they should really look more into how they behave with their customers.

This was the fourth time they gave me the wrong order. I never had such bad experience with a place before. I ordered coleslaw they gave me fries, ordered dark meat but got white several times!!! I just keep ordering since they are my only fried chicken option around here.

A while back I ordered and picked up some Popeyes I got halfway through my food until I realized the chicken was raw in the middle. I had severe food poisoning for the next several days. I reached out to corporate and they said the franchise owner would be in contact with me. No surprise to me, no one ever reached out.
Elliott G — Google review
After waiting on a 2 piece combo for almost 30 minutes, then I had to wait on my fries. So I asked the nice cashier who waited on me could she just replace them with something else. She didn't have a problem with it until she asked her manager which was a stocky black gentleman. He became so disrespectful in front of me and 3 more customers waiting on their food. Instead of trying to ease what wasn't an issue until he went on and on about a 2 piece combo wasn't as important bc prior to our orders someone ordered a 30 piece. I understand but he was very disrespectful. That was today around 2:30 at the Popeyes on opelika rd. I won't and my family members won't be going back while that irresponsible manger is there. He could have did without his comments after customers had been standing waiting on one thing after another.

I went in with my grand daughter and husband ready for some good fried chicken, we waited over 30!min , was unable to fix our dine in drinks due to the soda machine not being cleaned and put back together properly. The nozzle that supposed to allow the soda to dispense without spraying all over the guest and floor weren’t placed back on. Instead they were sitting in some nasty water with gnats flying all around them , had to wait 15 min for them to fill our drinks from the drive thru fountain. The chicken was slimy and the red beans seemed spoiled. After spending 39.00 on our lunch we left very disappointed. I didn’t make it home with out having an episode of exploding diarrhea in the car in front of my grand daughter , then my husband an hr later and grand daughter too. Awful experience

As I write this review it's been 20 minutes since I ordered in the drive through and I'm currently sitting in my car in a parking spot as cars continue to pile up behind me in the drive through from them telling people to continue to pull forward and wait. I don't know how long I will be trapped here but I'm debating writing a will because I don't think I'll ever get my food nor leave this place. A Popeyes will be my tomb. One star.

Wendy's is a fast-food burger chain that offers a variety of sides like chili and baked potatoes. This particular location has a stylish and clean modern interior. They have an automatic drink machine with numerous flavors, and using the touchscreen to select your favorite beverage is always enjoyable. While there have been some instances where the toppings on sandwiches were incorrect, the staff promptly fixes any mistakes. The employees are friendly and even go as far as holding doors for customers returning from breaks.
Off the beaten path slightly but if you remember how Wendy’s treated you as a kid and how a great meal hits the spot when on the road I recommend this Wendy’s! Clean respectful and doing their part to be clean and covered during the pandemic. Absolutely best Wendy’s location visit in several years.

This Wendy’s location is awesome! It was a cool modern interior that is always kept clean. They’ve had the automatic drink machine with a multitude of flavor for a while but pushing the touchscreen to select my favorite beverages never gets old. They have gotten the toppings on my sandwich wrong a few times; however, the staff fixes the error each and every time. One of the employees held the door for me as he returned off of his break. The environment and friendly service is why I keep coming back! If you like this review, like and share the review. Thanks and have a great day!

Ok I never write reviews. But I need to for this one. EXTREMELY RUDE AND IMPATIENT MANAGER. Horrible. The actual workers were nice and apologized for her because of her attitude. I ordered a meal, and was going to add another and she stoped me before i could even talk and said pull forward. i asked “well can i add another order to that or no?” and she grunted and said “what is it”. then I go up to pay and the nice lady asked “Hey did you order the double baconator meal?”, i got confused and said no i ordered the regular baconator meal. and she was confused and got the manager, I would too 100% because the manager took my order. Manager comes up and gives me no breaks and schools me on what they “Do”. If you say “regular baconator meal” they put Double , not a single , and i was wrong because i did order the not the single. So instead of doing anything i just said alright that’s fine , and then paid and pulled forward. Manager gave me my drink and food, which was all correct and it’s wendy’s food , don’t expect the best. But all i did was ask for more sauce and you could have thought i asked her to sacrifice her 2nd child. Please stop hiring managers that couldn’t care less, keep them as min wage employees. The main workers were 10x better than the manager. I get it’s easter today and that could be causing this and she could be missing so i can get that, but it’s not my fault that’s happening to you. 🫡

I ordered the baconator because I had a helleva day only to receive a what da hell! Worst Wendy’s experience yet! Called to tell them I was coming back and I guess they took the phone off the hook. Oh well want be returning there for a while 😒

The service was amazing! You have a really nice staff compared to the last time i came through. However, I am very badly ill from the chicken nuggets. Only thing i ate yesterday and I’m currently sick as a dog just over 24 hours later. Please check your temps and handling of the food you are giving out. This is absolutely awful.
Crystal — Google review
Like a lot of fast food chains, the drive thru person talked fast and was very matter of fact, not engaging or, seemingly, in a good mood. The nuggets and sauce were good, as was the natural lemonade, but the burgers were more like mayonnaise sandwiches with some beef added.
Henry C — Google review
As soon as I get to the first drive-through window, the woman with the fake eyelashes was on her phone and not paying attention. Plus, her attitude was terrible. I get to the second window and the older guy looked like he was mad at the world. To sum it up, the customer service here just plain sucks and I won't be returning. I don't see how or why these type of people apply for these customer service jobs AND get hired.

I don't know how much I appreciate what the team has done for me. I had a catering order they made it in an hour. Tried helping me get my car wheel locked from Auburn towing company.

First of all. I asked for a Smokey bbq bacon sandwich. I told them not once nore twice but three time. They didn’t ask me what type of sauce I wanted or anything. Next thing you know I’m pulling up by the window. They give me my food. They didn’t even put my Smokey bbq bacon sandwich in MY ORDER. Was I mad? Yes cause I was very hungry and ain’t had nothing eat. And the Mac and cheese was dry and had no flavor. Respectfully but beside that atmosphere was great. If the worker ain’t hear me they could’ve asked nicely again.

I’m newly working in Auburn this is my 5th day here googled nearest chik fil an and this popped up. Thought it was odd to drive thru a garage but let me tell you. Two lanes at once and one worker by himself Steven made the lanes go quickly needs a promotion and raise. Where I’m from in Columbus Ga they have about 4 people doing this two in each lane and it still takes forever. I love the establishment. I gave the food a 3 because my cookie wasn’t warm like I usually get it were I’m from. I got one dressing and I was missing one of the toppings and lettuce was brown in salad 🥗

⸻ Hands down, this was the best Chick-fil-A experience I’ve ever had—and it was all because of Ayana. She was working mobile window on 4/7/2025 and from the moment I interacted with her, she radiated warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Chick-fil-A is known for top-tier customer service, but Ayana takes it to another level. She was pleasant, attentive, and made me feel truly valued as a customer. Ayana has that rare combination of grace, charm, and work ethic that you just don’t come across often. On top of that, she’s absolutely stunning—her smile and presence light up the place. Chick-fil-A is lucky to have someone like her representing their brand. She’s the kind of team member that makes people want to come back again and again. Aryana is a gem!

Pizza Hut is a well-known chain that offers pizza, wings, and pasta for delivery, carry-out, and dine-in. They also provide various sides and desserts. A nearby worker expressed their disappointment with the pizza they received to one of the employees named Brett. Surprisingly, Brett took immediate action by returning inside the establishment even though it was closing time. He fired up the oven and prepared another pizza that turned out to be larger, tastier, and more satisfying.
BEST!!! Only allowed 5 stars or I'd have put 10! Staff was super helpful and patient, delivery was SO FAST and SO KIND! We got stuck at the soccer fields and this team really made sure we had what we needed to finish the night strong. Can't praise these humans enough for their extra seconds to care for us and our dinner order. Highly recommend this location, you made this mama's night 💖

Ordered delivery at 545. Still no pizza 90 min later. Called to see whats going on. Got put on hold. After 5-10 min of waiting hung up and called again. On the 3rd call (same guy answered each time) I said stop putting me on hold, what’s the deal with my order!? The guy is at a call center not the store. The hold was him transferring me to the store. Anyway he says it’s been canceled doesn’t know why. Transfers me to the store again to find out. I decide to drive to the store. As I pull up to the window, STILL on hold, there’s like 4 folks in there. Said they ran out of dough as the reason it was canceled. Why tf did someone not call and tell me? Another guy says he did call, but I’m literally still on hold on the phone in the car as I’m talking to them, so blatant lie. Oh and when I initially pulled up the guy asked if I had an order or wanted to place one….if you’re out of dough, why are you asking about an order? Photo of my delivered pizza attached.

Place an order online for meat lover's melt but only received only half of the melt. One employee shirt didn't cover his stomach so I was able to see the bottom of his stomach. So, I called back and was put on hold for 12 minutes without anyone handling my issue.

When I saw not a single soul there, I shouldve ran. I walked in, said hello, silence..........So i said to myself "maybe hes having a bad day" continued to order politely still getting a cold shoulder. The food was 4/10. Wing sauce was watery but the melt, and bread sticks were okay. It was the attitude that did it for me and honestly he wouldve gotten a 20 dollar tip because I had alil extra cash on me but I was way to polite so wont get nada from me.

I ordered a box dinner deal for my grandsons at 11:09 with an approximate delivery time of 11:32. I used the tracking software to keep track of it and every time I checked it, the delivery time increased by a few minutes up to 10 minutes each time. Our order was finally delivered at 12:10 and was not hot at all. I had already texted the driver and she said she was on the way. When she got there, she told me that she was at Jimmy Johns waiting on an order. That had nothing to do with our order. I purposely ordered early so that my grandchildren wouldn't have to wait long for their lunch.

Restaurant is nice and clean on inside. I got the crab rangoons and Mongolian beef combo with fried rice togo. Food was quite the disappointment. Egg roll had good flavor, but a very mushy texture made it almost not worth eating (cheapest possible frozen egg roll supplier used?). Crab rangoons really missed the mark. I'm used to rangoons having a bit of sweetness that matches that of the crab, but these were horrid. They tasted like wonton shells filled with half cream cheese and half sugar accompanying the faintest whisper of crab. The Mongolian beef itself was not bad-6/10. Although, the accompanying fried rice did its best to ruin the whole dish. If the rice was fried, it was done at the lowest possible heat (absolutely no wok flavor), and then mixed with frozen vegetables and boiled, unseasoned chicken. To add on top of everything, my fortune cookie was stale :(

They do not understand English good at all. I called in the order and had to repeat myself several times and she kept cutting me off like she knew what I was saying, but she misunderstood. I ordered Kung Pao shrimp and was disappointed to say the least. It was cheaply made with big chunks of celery and carrots as the only vegetable and chocked full of peanuts. I've had much better quality Kung Pao shrimp from places like MKs which came with broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, etc. and it was much more tasty. My husband ordered sesame chicken and some other chicken and it was fried so hard that he couldn't eat it. He called and they did replace his food the next day it was much fresher but it was still very "bready" and not good. I wouldn't recommend it.
