“Cafe 123, located in the heart of Opelika, Alabama, is not just a restaurant; it’s a journey through time and flavors. This culinary haven, nestled in Opelika’s historic downtown, has a rich history that adds to its charm. During the 1950s, it was known as the Haynes Soda Pop Hangout, where locals gathered to enjoy refreshing sodas and good company. Today, Cafe 123 continues to capture the essence of that era while offering a diverse menu that caters to modern tastes. From succulent steaks to fresh seafood, each dish tells a story of culinary craftsmanship. The cozy ambiance and historic undertones make it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. Embark on a nostalgic culinary adventure at Cafe 123 and experience the legacy of the Haynes Soda Pop Hangout. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits on a recent visit and it was absolutely delicious and the service was great. The updated interior includes white linens, artwork and funky fixtures. One of my favorite restaurants in the area. #Cafe123 #OpelikaDining #SodaPopHangout #HistoricEats #cafe123“

“Food and staff, Totally awesome!“

“I ordered about 30 minutes to closing, and felt bad, as this isn’t something I typically do. The lady at the front was still very kind and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean and food was delicious. For the price, it’s an excellent spot that I will be back to.“

“Visited Acre for the first time last week. Service was great. The redfish on the half shell was unfortunately extremely salty. I like my food well-seasoned, but this amount of salt was almost inedible. More attention to those details would be a good idea.“
