“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!“

“We were driving through town around dinner and stumbled across Zazu via yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. Best.decision.ever. Our server Tony was polite and professional. He provided awesome service. We started out with the poutine which was rich and flavorful. For entrees I had the smash burger and my son had the pimento cheese burger. We couldn’t decide which we liked better but we both agreed these were easily some of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Thank you Zazu for an amazing meal!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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!!!“
