Restaurants near Waverly

“We have NEVER had a mediocre meal, it’s always EXCELLENT. We are beyond blessed in the area where we reside (Auburn) to have many fine dining establishments, so it’s very competitive. In my opinion, THE WAVERLY LOCAL is always the most consistent and adds a welcome laid back atmosphere. It’s always my first choice if we can get a reservation.”

“The ladies there were so friendly. My daughter has a food allergy and they took the time to answer all of my questions and even offered additional info to make sure that she was able to get something she could safely eat. As a food allergy mom I can’t tell you how much unappreciated that!”

“As food reporters, we have covered well over 200 restaurants over the last five years. This was one of the best, and more of a tasting experience than just a meal.

The service was above and beyond, and the staff made you feel like the chefs were cooking just for you. If you are looking for a next-level foodie adventure, put 1856 on your list now!”

“Auburn just got even better with the opening of One Forty Grill! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is delicious, and the cocktails are perfectly crafted. From the family that brought us Hamilton’s, this new downtown spot is sure to be a favorite. As a local Auburn REALTOR®, I love seeing new businesses like this add to the charm of downtown living. One Forty Grill makes me even more excited to help people find homes close to all the amazing dining and shopping Auburn has to offer!”

“We went during a fireball game. Tried to order an appetizer when we arrived and were told we had to order all items at same time. We went along with the weird request with an empty restaurant and the food took a very long time to arrives. We like this restaurant but it was a huge miss. The manager was present and never stopped by to check on us. Unfortunately they missed the mark!”

“We had a fantastic experience and the food was phenomenal. I had the brisket tacos and I highly recommend them. We will definitely be back!”

“Great experience…great memories!”

“Best Burger in town! We love this place!”

“My business partner and I chose The Hound for dinner during one of our visits to Auburn recently. We ordered several things to try, including various cocktails, appetizers, a couple of entrees and desserts, and the flavors were perfectly balanced and well presented in every bite and sip. Hunter was our bartender when we arrived at the bar, and he continued to serve us after we were seated for dinner. He was a fabulous mixologist with a great sense of humor who made recommendations that were spot on, answered numerous questions about the offerings and made us feel like one of the locals. But - I noticed that the other bartenders and servers were extending that same hospitality to their guests, so there must be something special about The Hound's culture to make everyone so warm and friendly. We'll be back.”

Seating and room for the kids to run around outside with games to play and seating options inside as well. We take our kids often and I always suggest it when people come to visit Auburn!”

“Well Red has been an absolute haven for me. As someone who struggles with severe anxiety, finding a peaceful place where I feel at ease is rare, but every time I step into this space, I feel an overwhelming sense of calm. The owner has created something truly special. It’s clear that a lot of heart and thought has gone into building not just a business, but a community. The staff here is unlike anywhere else. They truly go above and beyond. They never treat you as just another customer; instead, they make you feel seen and valued with every visit. There’s a genuine sense of care in everything they do—whether it’s a warm smile, a thoughtful conversation, remembering your name and preferences, or simply making sure you’re comfortable. Their kindness is unwavering and consistent, which is so rare these days. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, unwind, or simply enjoy a good book and coffee, this spot is unmatched. Highly recommend! The owner of this shop should be incredibly proud of the environment they’ve cultivated. It’s not just the cozy setting or the quality products that make this place special—it’s the people. The heart they’ve put into creating this space is reflected in every detail, and it’s truly a gift to the community.”

That chicken and fish was seasoned so durn good lol The customer service was great from the owner, the cashier, and the man who came and cleaned up our table. I will definitely recommend and go back.”

“Irritable Bao is delicious!!!! I have never eaten anything that was not good! My favorite is bang bang shrimp and Buffalo Bao. It is impeccably run, the owner is always kind and loves people. Part of the draw is seeing him each time you are there. The college kids can’t get enough. The line is often down the street. Our entire family loves it and eats it every visit which is OFTEN!”
