“From the hostess to the garden staff absolutely fantastic. There were three of us in our party and each one of us had something different. The salmon was my husband's choice it was very good. My mother in law had the French dip which was very flavorful. I had the adult grilled cheese and a cup of the soup of the day another great choice. We can't wait until it's warmer to sit outside. The decor is also beautiful.“
“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“
“First time here... I had the BBQ chicken salad melt on a croissant it was delicious. The menus at the door for you to look at while you stand in line for first time goers. Tons of different varieties of chicken salad. If you like chicken salad this is a very unique experience. Every meal even comes with a sugar cookie!! Fresh lemonade and strawberry lemonade if you like lemonade. Very clean and friendly service.“
“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.“
“Ate here every day through door dash while on a business trip. Absolutely amazing food that is very high quality. 100% recommend the wake up burger. Healthier than most other restaurants, good protein and the meat is good quality. Thank you.“
“I’m not usually one to care for chain bbq joints, but this place was really good. And the people were extremely friendly and inviting. Mr. John was very helpful as well. Everyone we had interaction with was great. We will definitely put this on our list of regular spots for when we are in the Oplelika area.“
“Absolutely a breath of fresh air. My wife and I came here from montgomery and stumbled on here after a need for coffee. The service was with a smile and was greeted immediately. Coffee and scones were better than Starbucks and the out side is covered in outdoor peace. This is truly a hidden gem in the middle of a busy town.“
