“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“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at Full Moon BBQ was exceptional. I came through the drive-thru for my first visit, and Anna made it truly memorable. She was incredibly patient, attentive, and went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect. Her friendly attitude and helpful guidance made ordering a breeze, and the food was just as impressive. Anna’s top-notch service left a great impression—I’ll definitely be back!“
