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

“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.“

“Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. Server was nice. But he did not check on us after he delivered the food had to ask someone else for drinks. I recommend the reuben egg rolls. Had the bbq burger which was good. Wife had the chicken lassie which she enjoyed. It just need an aioli of some sort to cut the dryness a little.“

“My wife and I had an impromptu date last night and dined here for the first time. As a former server for over ten years I can say with confidence that the service, the food, drinks, and the ambiance was 100% amazing. Johnny was our waiter and he was fabulous. It was one of the most memorable dates I’ve ever had with my wife and I highly recommend Botanic to everyone!! Beautiful grounds that I really appreciate. Thank you Botanic!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Waitress was so great and attentive!!“

“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.“

“The food at No.1 China is exceptional. The lunch portion combos are really large and They are enough for 2 meals.
The food is so tasty, and has lots of sauce, so it isn't dry. The egg rolls are great as well.

The inside is a little dated, but usually, the hole in the wall places have the best food. The staff is always friendly and efficient when I pick up lunch to go.“

“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!“

“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!“
