Restaurants in Auburn

“My business partner and I chose The Hound for dinner during one of our visits to Auburn recently. We ordered several things to try, including various cocktails, appetizers, a couple of entrees and desserts, and the flavors were perfectly balanced and well presented in every bite and sip. Hunter was our bartender when we arrived at the bar, and he continued to serve us after we were seated for dinner. He was a fabulous mixologist with a great sense of humor who made recommendations that were spot on, answered numerous questions about the offerings and made us feel like one of the locals. But - I noticed that the other bartenders and servers were extending that same hospitality to their guests, so there must be something special about The Hound's culture to make everyone so warm and friendly. We'll be back.”

“I wasn't disappointed when I tried it out”

“We went during a fireball game. Tried to order an appetizer when we arrived and were told we had to order all items at same time. We went along with the weird request with an empty restaurant and the food took a very long time to arrives. We like this restaurant but it was a huge miss. The manager was present and never stopped by to check on us. Unfortunately they missed the mark!”

“Great little family owned restaurant serving great Asian food, Terrific staff that make real effort in great service and very friendly service.

“Excellent food and the service is even better. 100% recommended.”

“The food was amazing and service was great! Very attentive!”

“Family and I are here last night after the Auburn game. Place was packed out and we still got seated quickly. Staff was phenomenal and the food was outstanding. The atmosphere was incredible. We’re big hunters so we absolutely enjoyed the taxidermy, and the names under each animal of who harvested it was the icing on the cake! We had the 30A enchiladas, and we were extremely impressed! It’ll be our new stop any time we’re in Auburn!”

“110% scrumptious! I have been waiting for a healthy go to restaurant and this is it. I love that you can customize your order. My poke bowl with super fresh fish and all the yummy adds was perfect. Boba tea for the bonus points.🤙”

“Integral part of the Auburn experience. They have very cute Auburn souvenirs, t-shirts etc. Their Lemonade is the best!! I recommend a visit if you are in the area, even if it’s just for the photo op!”

“I think this is my favorite restaurant burger. 🍔”

“Best wings in town! Great beer selection and the self pour is super convenient.”

“Well Red has been an absolute haven for me. As someone who struggles with severe anxiety, finding a peaceful place where I feel at ease is rare, but every time I step into this space, I feel an overwhelming sense of calm. The owner has created something truly special. It’s clear that a lot of heart and thought has gone into building not just a business, but a community. The staff here is unlike anywhere else. They truly go above and beyond. They never treat you as just another customer; instead, they make you feel seen and valued with every visit. There’s a genuine sense of care in everything they do—whether it’s a warm smile, a thoughtful conversation, remembering your name and preferences, or simply making sure you’re comfortable. Their kindness is unwavering and consistent, which is so rare these days. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, unwind, or simply enjoy a good book and coffee, this spot is unmatched. Highly recommend! The owner of this shop should be incredibly proud of the environment they’ve cultivated. It’s not just the cozy setting or the quality products that make this place special—it’s the people. The heart they’ve put into creating this space is reflected in every detail, and it’s truly a gift to the community.”

“This was our first time eating here, as we aren’t local. The employees were very friendly and prompt. The food came out very quickly and presentation was very good. The portions were very big and delicious. The pricing was very reasonable. We enjoyed every bit of it.”

“Shout out to Nicole. Went there for a football game and 16 year anniversary. First time to the area. Our waitress (Nicole) was fantastic. She took the time despite them being busy to give us some good area tips and make sure we were comfortable. Very friendly and took good care of us. Food was great and prices very fair. Live music was an added bonus. Definitely recommend Nicole as well if ya get her.”

“We were down in Auburn for a basketball game, and looking for a way to kill some time the next day before the drive back home. Found this spot on Google, and now I’m wishing they had one back home in Huntsville. First off, those filet mignon sliders were incredible, perfectly cooked, and could fall apart in your mouth. My fiance got the BLT, and it came out so big that I thought it worked there. It was huge. Like, pays taxes kinda big. The staff was extremely friendly, understanding, helpful, you name it, they nailed it. Wish I could remember the servers name, but I’m terrible at names. But young guy working the lunch shift on 12/18. That dude was great. The best part to us was the lawn golf. Golf has always been mine and my fiances date of choice, so it was already a win in our books. But the lawn golf experience is perfect for both experienced golfers looking to play a different kind of challenge, as well as people who have probably never held a golf club in their life and don’t want to shatter a house window at a yuppie neighborhood course. If we lived closer, we would be back once a week. But until y’all catch on to how great this spot is and they expand up to Huntsville/Madison, we will have to settle with visiting this spot every time we come down for an Auburn game. Thanks for the great time!”

“very nice staff and food!! i ordered the crab rangoons and steak and shrimp hibachi and my total was less than $20 (lunch) very affordable and extremely good food”

“This is my all time favorite Waffle House. It’s on Opelika Highway in Auburn Alabama. The service is always great and when Mr Lloyd is on the grill, you know your order will be perfect and delicious. Love to watch him cook...grace and calm under pressure. He’s a good, strong influence on the rest of his team. The sausage, egg and cheese hash brown bowl with a scoop of sausage gravy is my favorite! Thank you Mr Lloyd!”

Part of the draw is seeing him each time you are there. The college kids can’t get enough. The line is often down the street. Our entire family loves it and eats it every visit which is OFTEN!”

“We love love love Foodies. My family and I go there all the time because we live so close and we prefer to support small businesses. The quality of the food is fantastic and we love the selection.

“Coffee Mafia has a really chill vibe that's necessary in the busyness of college. Parking is hard to find, but if you do, it's a nice place just off campus”

“The Corner Office… what can I say? The food is nothing short of exceptional. Correction, IT IS exceptional. I'm eating it right now as I write this review. I could not wait. The chicken pesto sandwich is a standout, perfectly seasoned, with a rich saltiness balanced by a subtle sweetness that sneaks in and surprises you. Every bite feels carefully crafted. And the soup? Creamy, savory, and deeply satisfying. It even came in a recyclable cardboard container, a thoughtful touch that helps reduce BPA exposure, a small but meaningful detail. If you're looking for food that delivers both flavor and quality, The Corner Office delivers on every front. I highly recommend if you are in the area and are looking for a quick bite.”

“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.”

“El Dorado is one of the best Mexican places I have ever been to (and trust me, I've been to a lot of them). They have the best queso, amazing chimichangas, and the most caring wait staff you can imagine. Not to mention the music was a real vibe the last time I came. It's the number one restaurant for when my family comes to visit. My mom has many times said that she would one hundred percent drive four hours just to eat here.”

“Johnny Bruscos Moore’s Mill is ABSOLUTELY ON POINT with EVERY ORDER We have EVER PLACED‼️ ❤️ Our FAVORITE‼️‼️You can NOT beat THIS PIZZA🏆💙🧡🦅”

“This Scooter's is friendly, fast, and accurate every time! I really love their rewards program and that Scan & Pay is an option (very convenient). Wish they had more vegetarian options!”

“I recently dined at this hidden gem in Auburn, and I was blown away by the exceptional service and mouth-watering Mexican food. The staff is attentive, accommodating, and eager to please.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal! I've had my fair share of Mexican cuisine across Alabama, and this place ranks among the top. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and generous portions make for a truly satisfying dining experience.

If you're a Mexican food enthusiast like me, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!”

“Sushi Hero is my go-to spot for sushi in Auburn. The sushi is always fresh and consistently comes out in a reasonable amount of time. It’s a reliable place when I’m craving a good roll or two. When my fiancé orders hot dishes like the fried rice or chicken, they usually take a bit longer to come out, but that’s understandable since those items take more time to prepare.

The only reason I’m not giving five stars is the service. It can be a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Some visits have been great while others felt a bit rushed or inattentive. Overall though, the quality of the food keeps us coming back.”

“Eat at the Hardee's in Auburn, Al today. The food was great, I had the steak and egg biscuit combo, all was great. The service was very fast and the young at the counter was very friendly. The store was very clean.”

The manager was present and never stopped by to check on us. Unfortunately they missed the mark!”

“What a great day for the Village Gardeners! Your catering was outstanding. The food was delicious and greatly apprrciated Thanks again for everything you did to make lunch so nice for us.”

“The chicken sandwich with slaw is wonderful. Just wish they would tell you the calories and cabs in their foods. I am a diabetic and need to know.”

“Tried Uncle Charley’s for lunch today. Had chicken tender plate. It was delicious. Love the spice they put on the chicken. I WILL be back. Personnel was extremely friendly too.”

The pizza was crispy and cheesy in the best way, and the wings had amazing flavor. The place had a relaxed vibe, and the staff were super friendly too. It’s the kind of spot you just want to come back to again and again with friends.🍕😋”

“My family took me to 140 Grill for my birthday. Chef Reyna and our server, Sarah, made it a special night. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. My 9 year old grandson was with us and he absolutely loved the pork belly.”

“Hands down one of the best places in town to read a book or have a glass of wine with friends. Don't have friends? Consider joining one of the many book clubs! There's wine tastings every other week, and they're really a pretty good deal. The pastries and coffee are fantastic. Here's a tip: if you look at their Instagram or Facebook and see a picture of some limited-time food, order that!”
