Best experience EVER! Michael was our awesome server. We were a group of 11. We are group of RVers from all over the US visiting. We all were impressed with Michael and his great service.
Nice locally owned restaurant. Beer list is good but not amazing. Very friendly and welcoming staff. A rare visit for us but always welcome.

The atmosphere is nice to go for brunch on a weekend morning.There were three floors and there were many tables for families.The menu is Eggs Benedict, Spicy Chicken & Waffles (it tastes like seasoned chicken, I don't know why I eat it with waffles, but it was delicious)

Overall: Mediocre/subpar food & service I've been coming to Zazu for almost 10 years now, almost since they moved from Auburn. In my opinion, it has consistently been the BEST overall restaurant in Opelika for food, service, ambiance, etc. However, my last 3 visit have been highly disappointing. I believe the establishment is under new management or has a new 'chef', but should not be an excuse for letting the restaurant drop in quality. Tonight's experience made me want to leave a review it was so unusual and not the Zazu I remember. Our waitress was behind the game all night despite the restaurant not being anywhere close to full capacity. Our drinks arrive late and partially incorrect and drinkware was dirty. We did not receive silverware until after appetizers had been sitting on the table for 5 minutes (we asked politely multiple times and never received napkins so I stole them from another table). My friend's salad with apple slices was not fresh and the sticker was still on the apple slice. I ordered chicken on a Caesar salad and received four small chicken slices on top. When asked for more chicken, they put in the order and thirty minutes later it showed up - after the table had been cleared and we'd finished our meal. Our waitress had also intended to charge for it. Overall, these are small things, small issues but the small things make a difference and Zazu was always great at making sure they got everything right. The waitstaff has a lot to be desired in terms of quality of service and the food has not been to the typical quality of what most expect from Zazu. I hope they can get it together and get back to their old ways.

Very expensive for what we got. Not particularly bad, just okay food. It does not justify the insanely high prices though. Service was fine, nothing special. I got the chili which just tasted like good beef doused in ketchup.

We just had the chicken sandwich and fries on the lunch menu and WOW!!! Incredible taste! You have to try it-mind blowingly good! ?
Great little place to eat within walking distance of rock-'n'-roll pinball.The service was great and there was no wait. I chose to sit at the bat and enjoy their ice tea while I ordered my burger. Absolutely fantastic burger and the fries were great as well.There are multiple stories to this place with seating located at the different levels.Very chill and laid back atmosphere and welcoming to all. Great place to eat if you are in the area.
I normally don't post reviews but this is definitely NOT the same Zazu that we know and love. I had the Cesar followed by the Jambalaya. The Cesar was just lettuce and croutons (no parmigian). It was all the bitter stalky part of the romaine. Cesar dressing was super bland. Worst Cesar I've ever had. The Jambalaya was nursing home quality in the flavor department. Wife's mushroom risotto had 1 mushroom. Entrees showed up about 2 minutes after the salads...terrible timing. Such a shame for such a cool building. Food was even better when it was in Auburn. Those were the days.

We thoroughly enjoyed our food and service. The atmosphere was great as well. The server recommended all of our meals and we really enjoyed all of the recommendations.

Easily the best option in Auburn/Opelika, Kaitlyn our bartender was personable and made amazing cocktails. I had the Blackened Mahi, felt like I was in New Orleans. I will go back for the rest of my life!!
