21 Best American Restaurants in Opelika

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Walter’s Farm and Catering prepared our Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious!!! Everyone commented on how absolutely amazing it tasted. She will definitely be catering our Christmas dinner this year as well. I highly recommend her for all of your catering needs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Turkey breast is great. Almost as good as candy. A bit expensive. Website won't accept gift cards purchased at Costco. Opelika store seems much safer than Montgomery store, and it must be becithey didn't have several officers at this store.“

“The lunch portion of meatloaf was so thin, I could see through it. I left hungry. 👎Waitress was super nice.“

“The name says it all. You know you’re going in for some delicious, down-home, classic southern cooking. It’s not fancy or award-winning. It’s simply comfort food for a reasonable price.

This no frills diner with modest decor offers tasty chicken fingers, flavorful fried catfish, and crisp crinkle-cut fries. I really love the seasoning in the fish batter! And the employees are always super friendly. It’s a worthy stop if you’re craving southern food in the Auburn area.“

“Waitress was so great and attentive!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“The very nice lady at the drive thru just gave me an entire extra order of chicken with my family meal!!! And a whole bag of sauces! Such wonderful service, and the food was prepared the PROPER way. The way captain ds food is supposed to be made. That's the kind of service that money can't buy.“

“The food was fantastic and so was everything there!“
