Cute sweet server with good food But wait time for food was excessive! Not even busy!

The food was amazing. The service was very attentive. The atmosphere was gorgeous with all the Christmas decorations. We had a very enjoyable evening celebrating graduation.

Thank you for your service today and for accommodating our large party for brunch this morning. We were all running late after a graduation and your kitchen and staff all accommodated and kept the breakfast buffet fresh and available after closing hours. Thank you very much for your hospitality today. It made my niece’s day extra special. Food was fresh and hot. Management and staff is excellent here would definitely recommend for anyone in the area.

Decent food! Our server, Skylar was great. The restaurant is on the first floor of the resort. We had breakfast 3 days in a row. The buffet was solid, some of the pastries were a big stale but otherwise it was great. Plenty of vegetarian options.

The Marriott's Southern Oak has an awesome buffet breakfast with a lot of options: coffee, juices, scrambled eggs, Omelet bacon, conecuh sausage, cereal, grits, biscuits/gravy, lox, bagels, yogurt, muffins, French toast, waffles, fruits, and more. They also have options to order a la carte off their menu or get a Continental buffet (no meats or hot food) for $5 less. We wanted everything, and paying extra was worth it! The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and relaxed. The buffet had a beautiful spread, which their staff diligently replenished. Service was good. We enjoyed our morning at Southern Oak and highly recommend trying out their breakfasts.

We are staying at the resort so we thought we'd stay and eat dinner here. The food was reasonably good though shrimp and grits should have had the tails removed on the shrimp. Service was abysmal. Three tables of people. Two servers and a hostess and service was so slow. We ordered two appetizers and had to ask for plates for them and didn't get them until we had already eaten the appetizers. I asked to split an entree and the menu indicates a split entree fee so I expected the kitchen to do the splitting but they brought me an empty plate with the order. For the price, I expect service to be on point. Really disappointing that this is essentially the only option for an otherwise amazing resort.

We are here at the resort so we went to the breakfast buffet (25.99). It wasn't good for the price. The conenuch ? sausage was over cooked. I honestly had to spit it out bc it was so chewy and could not swallow it. The cinnamon rolls were burnt, the bacon was not crisp. I did order the pancakes and they were good but I mean I could make those. Also the buffet eggs look like the powder eggs so I ordered some and they were good. Coffee was good and so was service. Oh and the biscuits and gravy were like something you would get at a free hotel breakfast buffet. I honestly wouldn't waste money on this breakfast if I wasn't staying here. Just thought I would help two people save about $60.

Southern Oak restaurant in Opelika, Alabama is a dining destination with a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The restaurant's southern-inspired menu features classics like fried chicken and shrimp and grits, as well as unique dishes like pimento cheese fritters and smoked pork belly. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the outdoor seating area is a great place to relax on a nice day. (The pool area is gorgeous.) Overall, Southern Oak is a must-visit restaurant in Opelika for anyone looking for authentic southern cuisine.Oh, and it's located inside the Auburn Marriott Opelika Resort & Spa at Grand National, which is absolutely gorgeous.

We had reservations for a larger party. We were not informed until we arrived that our tables were split and we would be sitting separately. Our waiter was nice and fast to get our first round of drinks. I had an espresso martini and it was really good and frothy. Our service was very, very slow, even though we were 1 of 2 parties in the restaurant. They were out of salmon, so I settled for the chicken. It was good, but the brussel sprouts weren't cooked enough for my taste. I ordered a second espresso martini and it looked nothing like the first one. It was black, no froth, and tasted like liquor. The waiter was understanding about it and brought me a new one. I was not super impressed with my experience and am not sure I will be back.

Even though they are only open for breakfast and dinner, if you eat the amazing breakfast buffet, you won’t need lunch and can come back to dinner.
