Crab cakes were under cooked. Was very loud inside. Took 15 minutes to be greeted on what looked to be not very busy night. Over priced for the product. If you are near the area, I would make the trip into opelika for Zazus. Better quality all around

We had reservations for the Waverly and went away feeling somewhat disappointed. We weren't all too excited to be seated outside on such a cold night when I would've expected to be seated inside due to having a reservation. We also felt that the service left much to be desired as far as attentiveness. The pork rinds were so good and the Yellowhammer cocktail was absolutely delicious. I felt that the chili was a little over-salted and my husband wasn't overly impressed with the ravioli. Overall, we were glad to try it but not dying to return.

Wow. What a great discovery. Just up the road from Auburn and keeping with the eclectic feel of small town Waverly. The setting is fun and welcoming. When we drove up it was evident the restaurant is not a secret. Good thing we had reservations. The Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Our waiter was attentive but didn't rush us. We told her we were there to take our time and relax which she responded. The food and presentation were fabulous. I had the blue crab cakes and my wife the pork both were delicious. We will be back.

My wife and I have been to many amazing restaurants, this place is easily in our top 3. As far as service goes, no one even comes close. In a word, the Local is Amazing!

I had heard from several friends about this place and finally went last week. The food was incredibly. The service was prompt and friendly. Very cool building. Seems very well managed/run. Definitely will go back and highly recommend! I got the burger with mac and cheese...wow!Dietary restrictions: We had some dietary restrictions (Celiac and gluten free) and they were extremely accommodating. The menu is marked on what is gluten free and it is quite a bit of the menu.Parking: Plenty of parking even with a lot of people in the restaurant.

Had the most delicious dinner tonight at the Waverly Local! The salmon was perfectly cooked with a wonderful side of mouthwatering vegetables! My husband's pork was really tender and flavorful! Such wonderfully personal service by Chad, who was so friendly and helpful! This place is a gem

The best in the business. Built to last. Consistently, the best restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika/Lake Martin area (and one of the best in the State of Alabama). Worth the drive.

A hidden gem to many, but a treasure to those who know. Amazing food, friendly staff, and the best atmosphere. A great place for a date night, good conversation, or just a fun time with delicious food.
