“The best chicken Salad around..absolutely loved it!!! I don't make a trip to Auburn without stopping”

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

“We have NEVER had a mediocre meal, it’s always EXCELLENT. We are beyond blessed in the area where we reside (Auburn) to have many fine dining establishments, so it’s very competitive. In my opinion, THE WAVERLY LOCAL is always the most consistent and adds a welcome laid back atmosphere. It’s always my first choice if we can get a reservation.”

“First thing I noticed is the cleanliness of the place, friendly, reasonable price for a lot of selections. First time here and server was very nice and friendly, very informative, May, was very patient and showed us how to cook and prepare our food. Would definitely recommend. KPOT is the BEST!!!!”

“We discovered this little gem today while in Pittsburgh strip district, the staff and coffee were both fabulous. We can’t wait to go back. 😊🧡😊”

“Plateau de Charcuterie and Warm Chèvre Salad w/Filet”

“Their cookies are so good love them just bought me a gift card from their today because I love them so much thank you crumble for making me cookies lol 🍪😂😊”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“I am challenged eating out as I have a dairy allergy and am used to settling on my order (salad again...) but lo and behold- I found a dish that was 110% delicious and didn't need any tweaking. The miso glazed salmon is a winner!!! Giant kudos to the chef for understanding the challenges of food allergy sufferers...I finally felt like I wasn't at the "kids table." BRAVO! I will be back!”

“One of the best bakery places I have ever visited! Cinnamon roll was so light and perfect and the Conecuh croissant was fabulous! Not only the amazing food, but the ambience of this place is wonderful. The coffee espresso was on point as well!! Cannot recommend this place enough!!”

“Great little family owned restaurant serving great Asian food, Terrific staff that make real effort in great service and very friendly service. We have been several times and it is now our “go to “ place for Asian food. Prices are very reasonable , restaurant is very clean and food is really good.”

“According to my rewards, i have been to 7 Brew 120 times since june 2023... do you know i have had the most excellent service each time!!!!!! I have had one drink out of a couple hundred (i frequently order 3-5 drinks a visit) . That was incorrect... That is great odds!!!! I adore all the workers in Auburn Ala and appreciate all the delicious coffees, energy drinks and pizzas for the kiddos!!!! Thank you and War Eagle!!!!”

“Dont let the building fool you. TheNest is a supposed hole in the wall eatery with great vibes. The staff is always so welcoming. My server tonight, Jasmine, did an amazing job and was very tentative. Go visit and show The Hornet's Nest some love.!”

“We had a fantastic experience and the food was phenomenal. I had the brisket tacos and I highly recommend them. We will definitely be back!”

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

“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.🤙”

“great environment, hometown burger joint. wait is a little long but well worth it”

“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!”

“Was just there this Saturday (May 10)... Just moved up from Tampa and was hungry for pizza.... My daughter and I chose Doughs.... The pizza was fantastic and watching the chefs create and toss the pizza gave it a nice homey feeling. Will definitely be back to enjoy more!!!!!!”

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Zazu last night! The shrimp and grits was fantastic, and the hubby says the pimento cheese burger was probably the best burger he has ever eaten! if you haven't seen the place, the interesting old building is a whole 'nother reason to go to Zazu!”

“Hey Day Market is the perfect place to take your family or a big group! Plenty of food options for different palates, desserts, and drinks. Seating and room for the kids to run around outside with games to play and seating options inside as well. We take our kids often and I always suggest it when people come to visit Auburn!”

“Consistently great food! The cooks are outstanding and food prepared to perfection. The entire staff is friendly and are always glad to see you. Never have I ever had Hennessy Infused Wings. These wings have me in a choke hold. Fried to perfection!!! This place is a 10 out of 10.”

“Lovely experience! I love this place! Delicious food and friendly staff.”

“fresh food everytime me and my husband come here”

“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.”

“David always works his amazing talent with his expresso machine and delivers a surprise cup of pleasure every time. He never disappoints. Try his lavender latté, (hot or cold). Mine is made with oat milk. There are always good vinyl tunes spinning on the turntable and delectable confections in the cookie jars.”

“The very best soul food around!! I’ve been eating her food since she was cooking at tailgate grill on highway 14! Love watching this business grow!❤️”
