“The food there for me always comes nice and neat, organized, and just perfect in general! I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE these cookies they aren’t to hard but aren’t to soft and just Crumbl in every bite haha hence the name!”

“The food was insanely good and we had a very nice, local waitress that let me sit beside the fireplace to keep warm. The atmosphere was also great because it felt like we were in a nice, old shack in the woods just chilling.”

“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.”

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

“Delicious coffee! I had a perfect false fall treat, a pumpkin and maple latte! It was so good and the barista was very friendly and welcoming my first time here. I’ll be back!”

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

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

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“Great food, the rolls are to die for, a cross between a donut and a dinner roll. I had the Shepherd's pie and it was good and came as a large portion enough for two. I also got the fries as an appetizer and these were thick cut fries that were crispy plus, not burned or hard just very crispy almost like a chip with a soft center, really excellent. The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow. We waited almost 15 minutes before a server came by for our drink order, but as we had not been in a hurry it did not matter at the time. The restaurant has a nice neighborhood pub feel to with sports on all the televisions.”

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

“I love going to this place, especially for their lunch specials. The prices for the food here and what you get is so worth it. It's such a quick, easy, inexpensive place to eat for anyone in the area. It's also connected to the Asian Supermarket, which is always fun to browse after eating.”

“Great bbq! Friendly staff”

“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 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??”

“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.”

“Great food! Best tacos in town!”

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

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

“Ms. Betty was awesome, she took care of our group. I got a salad asked for ranch and extra ranch. It was brought out with none, she made sure I got my ranch. Will go back just to see her”

“We had a great experience all the way around. Our server was Grayson and he made great suggestions, he checked on us often, he put in our kids food early. The food was great and the wait time was minimal for a Saturday night.”

“Excellent food an wonderful staff.”

“Great food, Great staff, Great experience”

“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”

“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.”

“I went to GiGi’s for the first time yesterday and was blown away! First off, it was near closing time and the two young women working were still perfectly sweet and happy to explain all the delicious flavors(even though you have to know they repeated them 100 times already that day!). The cupcakes were amazing and I appreciated the samples because-in this case-it was hard to guess what a sweet tea cupcake would taste like(SOOO GOOD). I will definitely be back. Can’t wait to taste all the unique flavors and see the adorable designs of future treats!”

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

“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.”

“I had their famous chipped sandwich and sweet tea. I say it was pretty good. The tea could have been little sweeter, but then I again I like it pretty sweet. I will have to try some other stuff next time.Try them out, the staff was friendly and nice also.”

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

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

“Food and staff, Totally awesome!”

“Great burger place with outstanding custard. Need one of these in Montgomery AL.

Update: still one of my favorite burger places in the area. Great food and excellent service.”

“I've tried other coffee shops and roasteries in the area, but Toomer's Coffee has the best beans by far. They're the only place I buy beans from now.”

“We ordered 3 menu. Calamari & Pork Belly Hot Spicy, rice and bulgogi and rice in the hot pot with beef and veggies. The menu rice in the hot pot with beef and veggies is not really good as our expectations especially almost no beef. It is in the video. I hope you will improve it. We recommended the calamari & pork belly hot spicy.”

“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!! 😍”

“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!!”

“Brittney at the drive-thru window could afford to be friendlier.. she is far from it. No smile, didn’t greet me, got upset when I wanted to use my rewards and had to “re-ring my order up”. Teiarra saved the day though, she was a breath of fresh air and who should be greeting and helping customers. My sandwich was delish!”

“Waitress was so great and attentive!!”

“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.”

“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”

“My family enjoyed our meal! The BBQ sandwich was delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. Be sure to stop the next time you see their food truck. You won't be disappointed.”

“love their food and they have great prices”

“Very fast service and friendly staff. Highly recommend! The grilled chicken tenders are amazing! We will most definitely be eating here again.”

“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!”

“Every time I go to Jersey Mike's in Auburn AL, I have always received excellent, fresh food with courtesy and a smile! No one does Subs better for freshness and quality!”

“I'd it 5 stars bc the service was fast & efficient. Food fresh and hot. Great hospitality.we be back.

Vegetarian options: vegetable fried rice”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Always amazing and very tasty”

“Better than average standard American Chinese food. The people are pleasant. We have always ordered takeout, and I’m pretty sure they’ve never gotten our order wrong. We’ve probably ordered from No 1 at least 20 times. The food has almost always been ready in 20 minutes or less and has always been hot. My only complaint is that the sesame chicken has only been crispy one time. It still tastes good and is one of our regularly ordered items, but it would be better if they left the chicken in the fryer just a little bit longer. They use a nice short grain rice that I really enjoy, and the kung pao chicken is a proper savory dish, not too sweet. If you’re ok with a little bonus fat in your life, the fried donuts are hard to stop eating.”

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

“hot food and always on point late night”

“I have visited this location several times and the food is always fresh and delicious not to mention the customer service is awesome! I have always had a great experience here!

Kid-friendliness: My grand-daughter loves this place!”

“I went a couple days ago and the staff is absolutely amazing. Mrs Washington and the lady that was working the drive thru window was amazing! The whole experience was great! Thank ya for being patient with me while I put my big order in with you all!!!

Kid-friendliness: Super sweet to my son that was with me”

“**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!”

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

“Staff and manager on duty this morning were EXCELLENT. Great food, fast service, and the manager even came around to make sure our food was good and then brought my toddler a cookie and took our trays away for us. Our first time here but won’t be our last!”

“The first time in a long time of coming to this location that the manager was not barking orders like a drill Sgt. The crew was happy and a pleasure to be around. You need more mgrs like this that treat people like people and not soliders”

“음식이 맛있고 친절합니다”

“Food was fresh, and served quickly. Good typical subway sandwich when you are on the road.Parking lot/building isn't placed in the best spot being just off the exit ramp though.

Parking: Parking was easy even with our camper, (we just had to took up a few spots) but pulling out of the lot to make a left is difficult being the interstate off ramp is right there by the entrance/exit.”

“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!! 😍”

“The young lady at the window had forgotten to put our two drinks out for us to take with us at the drive through. We had to go back through the drive through to get them. The young lady wanted to tell us that we did order drinks. The drinks came with the meals. She finally realized her mistake but never said she was sorry. She acted as if the drinks were on personal drinks. Needs to work on some good old customer service and manners.”

“We are from LA and wanted to try a new place on our recent trip to SC. I was a little upset that only drive thru was available but we made it work. We were very pleased with the quality of the food. We had to wait a little longer for our food to be cooked so they gave us a little extra food and went out of their way to make me a salad when they were short on supplies! My hubby is picky about green beans and he said they were really good. The woman was very polite and went above and beyond with our food requests. If we are in the area we would stop by again for sure.”

“delicioso 😋 buen ambiente!”

“MUST READ... MUST READ...

Waffle House in Tiger Town Auburn, Al
I had a issue with my order where i place a togo order on a sunday during the busy hours after church... when i got home i realized there was a mixup with what i had ordered, I messaged the store via the Waffle House App and this is what happened,
Tempra(Unit Manager) and Sergio (District Manager) reached out the next day with nothing but the best intentions and that was to make sure i was able to be completely satisfied and be able to get what i needed... Tempra reached out with her personal number and said Hello I am ... and i understand that you had a issue with your order, she then listened to everything i had to say and asked me what she could do to keep my business... i then told her i just wanted her to know what happened and that i wasnt looking for this or that but even then she offered XY&Z
I realized then that SHE is a person who cares about the people who come to her establishment to enjoy the time with family and friends... She went above and beyond to make sure i was 1000% taken care of and now will only be a customer to her location... The other Waffle Houses are rude and always in a rush to get the customer out so they can play on their phones or smoke a cigarette, her location is almost always on point with all their employees being nice and personable and point... Tempra and Sergio I truly appreciate the way you both went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were happy and taken care to the best of your abilities!! I will be back!!!”

“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!!”
