Restaurants in Opelika

“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!!!!”

“Botanic is an elevated experience with amazing food & even better customer service. We love going to Botanic for family celebrations as well as intimate dinners. ❤️ 100/10 would recommend.”

“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!”

“Food was well prepared and delicious. Our group ordered the mahi-mahi special, salmon and the flat iron steak. All were excellent.”

“Came in with my kids last night and everything was fantastic, the food was great and the employees were extremely friendly and kind. We will definitely be back :)”

“My favorite spot to stop at after dinner in downtown Opelika. They make a spectacular rye. Usual end up taking a bottle home. I'd highly recommend stopping by this place, especially if you want a break from craft beer. Grab a smoked old fashioned and relax in one of those big leather chairs. 🍸”

“The food and service was exellent! Our server Chis was awesome! He kept us laughing with his humor!!”

“Really good beer especially the IPA. The staff is really friendly”

“Great hospitality with staff going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable! Access to pickleball and tennis courts, nice large rooms, and a lovely spa and fitness area, not to mention easy access to the beautiful and challenging Grand National golf course.”

“We had a great meal tonight! Tina at the bar was on her game and was very good in all aspects! I eat at Longhorns all over Ga and Ala! Top notch food and service! Thanks Tina!”

“Great food and awesome service from the staff.”

I didn't get my birthday cookie voucher but hey, there's always next year. Please please lmk when the cornbread cookie is coming back! 🤪😁”

“If you haven’t been to The Hornet’s Nest, what are you waiting for?! The food is delicious and the staff is just as amazing. I recommend giving them a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

“very relaxing environment staff was very friendly and the food was terrific with a great price absolutely loved it highly recommend trying it”

“Very kind& polite people the place of business was clean”

“From a gringo that likes Mexican street tacos…. This place is legit. Wonderful food and even better people!”

“I went to the Coffee Shop for the first time this morning to try the fall flavors. I got the Bonfire Iced Latte and it was phenomenal. I finished it all before I got home! The staff were also incredibly nice! I will most certainly be going back.”

“My wife and I have had excellent experience every time we’ve dined here. The dinner is always top notch and they personalize your night with menus that have your party’s name. Can’t sleep on their lunch either. Best burger in town. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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!!!!!!”

“Have eaten at IBP a few times before. It is a great restaurant in an old building with plenty of character.

Just a heads up, though, if you’re wanting to eat corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day there, you better get there early when they open, or else you will start having wait times exceeding an hour or more.

For an appetizer, we had the corned beef cabbage eggrolls, and they were awesome. Came with 1000 island dressing to dip them in.

My mom had a shepards pie and she said it was very tasteful, but had more mashed potatoes on top than any of the filling at the bottom. She was slightly disappointed in this.

I had the bangers and mash. The sausage was cooked well and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and had plenty of gravy and I even asked for extra gravy. Everything was very flavorful.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant”

“Wonderful cupcakes and the BEST customer service around! I ordered a 6 count box of cupcakes for a gift and my 3 year old stepped on the box and smashed half the cupcakes. I went back right before closing and they gave me a new box and replaced the smashed cupcakes free of charge. So unexpected but so appreciated! Its not like I can resist the peanut butter icing anyway, but they have a loyal customer in me!”

“My 1st time eating at Taste Of Asia was an over-all good experience. I had the Sesame Seed Chicken with a side of Edamame. The portion sizes were very big, service was fast and the food was good. *Note: Taste Of Asia is inside the Asian Supermarket. It is located in the left rear side of the Market… I gave the “Atmosphere” rating two stars because the Seafood Market section in the market is near the restaurant and the smell of raw fish was very strong.”

“Unusual for Chick-fil-A but the parking lot and drive-thru line were a complete mess. We could not even get in the Drive-Thru line to pick up my mobile order. The parking lot was complete chaos. I had to go inside while my husband left the parking lot and change my order to pick up inside to get out of all that chaos”

“Butcher Paper BBQ is hands-down some of the best barbecue you’ll ever eat! The brisket is tender, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the smoked mac and cheese is legendary. Beyond the food, Mark and his team always make you feel so welcome when you walk in—it’s that true Auburn-Opelika hospitality. I love seeing local businesses like this thrive and give back to the community, and Mark does exactly that. As someone who helps folks relocating to Auburn and Opelika find their place here, I always tell them that gems like Butcher Paper BBQ are part of what makes this area such a great place to call home. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your passion (and your amazing food!) with all of us. Highly recommend stopping by Butcher Paper BBQ in Opelika—you won’t leave hungry!”

“Great place! I love the atmosphere and selection.”

“A classic in Lee County. If you are in the area this is one of those mandatory spots. I remember going here as a kid. It still tastes the same. These are some of the best hotdogs and ice cream in the south east. This an old school walk up, no seating except outdoor tables.”

“my friends and i stop by here for dinner after watching superman and shopping! my main dish was okay, however the soup and bread were really good. our server was mumbling a bit, but still funny and really cute! i wish i asked for his social, but i got really shy🥲💔”

“Such a great place. Nice Quite spot with AMAZING food, friendly staff and GREAT prices!”

“Food and service was great. The beer was a bit pricey but the food made it worth it. They have great chips and salsa and the most authentic food I have had I. This area. I will definitely be back.”

“We went to Durango for lunch today, 1 o’clock on a Sunday, and the food was sooo good. The strawberry daiquiri was great, the steak fajitas were marinated and came with a lime wedge which I thought was a nice addition. We usually go to the place across from Sam’s but their steak is sliced so thin and not flavorful at all, so this was such a pleasant surprise. The chips were warm and not paper thin which we loved. My husband’s plate was clean at the end and he said the pico de gallo on top of his burrito verde was really good, and he usually *hates* tomatoes! So we were both pretty shocked. We only had to wait a few minutes after we were done for the server to come back so we were glad since sometimes that can be super frustrating to wait for when you’re ready to leave. The service was great, everyone was very nice, even the server assistant that offered us more chips when we were low. Plus the music was pleasant and relaxing, not too loud, and it wasn’t freezing cold inside like some places. So overall a great experience and it’s now our go-to spot for Mexican.

Edit- we went again recently around 2:30 on a Saturday and no one else was in there (of course)… but the food was STILL spot on! Consistent, clean, friendly, speedy, delicious! I mean really, what more can you ask for??”

“has gotten better and better the more I've been”

“Great locally-owned restaurant now in a new location! Try the Singapore Street Noodles and hot and sour soup. We have eaten a lot of dishes and enjoyed each one. Good service, quality food, and a menu that works for everyone in your party.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly”

“The food is excellent and we love eating here. The staff is always super friendly too!”

“I’ve known Nelly for years, and this is the only bar I trust. Customer service is absolutely amazing and the DRINKS….absolutely amazing! The environment is beautiful and everyone that comes in while I’m here drinking, is great 🖤🖤🖤”

“We loved the brewery, the staff, and the beers on tap.”

“Great food! Best tacos in town!”

“Grilled tenders and green beans were good. Fried okra also good. Fried shrimp was fair. Not the quality food expected at Jim Bob's. Staff was friendly and quick.”

“My happy place 😊. Alway a great variety of beers to try.”

“Waitress was so great and attentive!!”

“Floor was disgusting with food and frys spread around. No one on the staff was cleaning up the dinning area like normal. Bathroom had no paper towels. The lady calling orders was saying it so fast she was confusing everyone and had seemed to be upset when you asked what she said. I love Freddy's but not that day.”

“Great food, Great staff, Great experience”

“This is by far the best bbq in Alabama. The quality and pricing has been so wildly consistent over the last 20 years or so that I've eaten here. The value is unmatched. The Sandwich plate that comes with two sides is less than 9$. The best sandwich is the Pork Chipped on the Block and I ask for mine to be inside meat. Its absolutely lights out and crazy how good it is everytime.”

“Teeny tiny wings. 50 wings fit in 1 normal sized to go box and cost $46.00 That's $1/ wing for the smallest wings I've ever seen in my life.

Flavored and cooked like I like em. So they still get a 4/5 regardless of other factors.”

“Stopped in over the weekend while I was traveling thur the area. Samantha the waitress was very attentive, professional and such a sweet young lady. The food was hot and delicious 😋 I will be back for sure and I do hope Samantha is working, she made it such a pleasant experience.”

“Some the best chicken I have eaten. Even though busy, the service was quick and the staff very courteous.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Mama Mocha's Expresso Bar! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The cup is filled with the most delicious coffee and a special message is handwritten on each cup. Love in a cup.”

“I visited Gohyang Garden Korean Restaurant and tried the duck jumulleok, ramen, pork cutlet, tteokbokki, and soft tofu stew (오리 주물럭, 라면, 돈가스, 떡볶이, 순두부 찌개). Everything was delicious and the tteokbokki stood out as my favorite. Honestly, their snack-style dishes (분식) were so good that this place could easily succeed as a Korean street food spot. Highly recommend if you enjoy tasty Korean comfort food 😋”

“Great food, the sauce is delicious and I wish it could be sold in the store.”

“VERY GOOD TEAS!!! I’d highly recommend, i’ve had teas all over and these are absolutely some of the best i’ve ever had. The strawberry in the captain america is the best i’ve ever had and it’s my go to flavor. Definitely go here if you get the chance!!”

“**A Tasty and Refreshing Stop at Taziki’s Mediterranean Café in Auburn**

Dropped by Taziki’s Mediterranean Café in Auburn and was glad I did. I ordered the **Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken**, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The ingredients were fresh, the grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly, and the whole dish came together with a great balance of flavor and texture.

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and clean, and the service was prompt—everything you’d hope for in a quick, healthy dining spot. Whether you're craving something light but satisfying or just want a break from heavier fare, this place definitely hits the mark.

I’ll absolutely be back to try more from their menu!”

“I’ve seen this place for a while and never stopped in until yesterday and I am so glad I did! I got a simple iced coffee and it was so smooth. Really good. Low acid. I talked a while with the two employees and they explained about their roasting process and where they source their beans. Very informative and friendly guys. Their prices are much better than the crappy coffee you get at a certain big brand coffee shop.
They sell their beans. They also have single source beans.”

“Great Customer service and Food! The team member Lynn is kind to her coworkers and customers. We need more like her! Lynn is an impressive and hardworking person! Times are stressful for many reasons. Employees and staff need to be treated like they matter. Thank you for your kindness!”

“Excellent food an wonderful staff.”

“New to this place now i eat here 3 or 4 times a week. I like the idea of whatever you order is made fresh . What I do not like is the constant mistakes at the order or from the kitchen. However when its wrong they fix it but I also see alot of waste cause they throw it away. Just slow down listen better or read better. I usually have my food delivered to me and by then its too late to fix cause its delivered incorrectly.”

“Very beautiful and clean, food is delicious. Love the menudo soup and the Lengua tacos”

“I've never been to a place as unique as this. Part game room part restaurant. The menu allows you to make your own creations with the items that they carry. I've never heard of using 2 pizzas as buns until here. I did the pizza bun with shredded chicken, rasberry vinaigrette, and shrimp. I also did a burger with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches as buns with lettuce, beef, queso, and shrimp. I also ordered a shredded chicke. Sandwich with lettuce, shredded carrots and queso on a Hawaiian bun. It was amazing.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“This place has great lunch deals and the entire staff is friendly. We always appreciate the person who takes our order at the front... she's goes out of the way to provide the best customer service.”

“love their food and they have great prices”

“Such an incredibly friendly staff! The lunch shift ladies made us feel like we were having a meal in their homes! You don’t feel that way about customer service much these days!!”

“me tomé un atole de cacahuate !! sabroso ..”

“the best Mexican restaurant I know, I love their food and their delicious margaritas 😍😍 I love viva la vida, their food and their excellent service!! 😍”

“hot food and always on point late night”

“I ordered two subs today through the app, But I had accidentally ordered them to the wrong location (Opelika location instead of Phoenix city). Once I got to the Phoenix city location I quickly realized i had ordered it to the wrong place because they couldn’t find my order, so I called the Opelika location to see if I could cancel my order because of my mistake. I was told by a girl manager at the time that there is no exceptions for canceling order if I had ordered it ordered to a different location. I was super upset knowing that I had just wasted $23 and still had no lunch for me or my partner and didn’t want to spend that money again. so I had placed a case through the app to see if I could get any resolution to my problem. Until Rocco another store manager from the Opelika location called me to find out more about my problem. Rocky was super professional and immediately took action to resolving my issue. He even told me that usually if someone Accidentally orders it to the wrong location the other location will call them to see if the order is there and if it is they would remake it at the location, which was some thing that the other girl manager never mentioned to me even after I sounded upset. Big shoutout to Rocco for delivering great customer service, now I will be gladly returning to eat lunch here when I pass through the area!”

“The meatball and cheese sub was hearty and satisfying. The meatballs were tender, covered in rich tomato sauce, and the melted cheese brought everything together.. Messy, but totally worth it!”

“It's a small drive thru only works for me. Our first time having the food and it was great. Wait time wasn't bad for a Saturday after Auburn lost and food was served hot.”

“Fresh foods and good drinks.”

“Ticket number was DT#191. Just here to brag about the customer service. Zy’dreia is always so kind when she’s at the window . My food was also cooked fresh. I had to pull up to wait, but it was no problem at all.”

“Food was OK. Double orange and fried rice. Had 6 cars in front of me and the team worked the line down quick and the young man at the window was very nice. Noticed the fried rice is almost white rice with some veggies now, this seems to be the norm for Panda now. Had this at several locations.”

“My food was great & cooked fresh to order. My wait time wasn't long at all and the customer service was great. Definitely suggest their sushi and hibachi dishes, they are were amazing.🍜🍣🍱 Very reasonable pricing and you get a nice size serving of it as well”

“음식이 맛있고 친절합니다”

“I have been to this location numerous times but today the customer service was superb. The two young ladies at the front counter were very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and courteous from the beginning to the end. Thanks ladies. Great job!!”

“First visit and I was very satisfied with the food and prices. Will be going back there soon !! Four ?”

“Absolutely the best service. Love the drinks they are delish.”

“the best Mexican restaurant I know, I love their food and their delicious margaritas 😍😍 I love viva la vida, their food and their excellent service!! 😍”

“Jennifer in the floral dept made flowers for my wedding and they were extraordinary! She went above and beyond! I would give 10 stars! I can’t thank her enough!!”

“03/30/25 came in and the house was packed so I decided to get my meal to go. Diamond quickly saw me and took my order even though she was running around busting her tail. I waited outside due to the line and she even brought my meal out to me and oh so quickly. Meal was great and Diamond was on it. I’ll definitely be back again when passing through.”

“delicioso 😋 buen ambiente!”
