“Some of the best tasting coffee in Auburn, and I’ve always had great and friendly service! Slightly more expensive than other area lattes, but the taste and atmosphere make it worth it to me.”

“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.”

“The ladies there were so friendly. My daughter has a food allergy and they took the time to answer all of my questions and even offered additional info to make sure that she was able to get something she could safely eat. As a food allergy mom I can’t tell you how much unappreciated that!”

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

“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!!!!”

The dishes were beautiful to look at, and the carefully crafted flavors had you eagerly anticipating the next course. The service was above and beyond, and the staff made you feel like the chefs were cooking just for you. If you are looking for a next-level foodie adventure, put 1856 on your list now!”

“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”

“Cafe 123 is truly a gem! I always have a wonderful experience here! The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. I’m already planning my next visit!”

“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!”

“Alex was so nice! We love seven brew and have NEVER been disappointed. We have tried so many drinks in the few times we’ve been there and maybe got a few more than we needed😊! We loved all of them! Absolutely recommend seven brew to anyone who likes anything to do with amazing experiences, drinks, or atmospheres!”

“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!”

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.”

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!”
