“My visit to Chicken Salad Chick was a delightful surprise? The Jalapeño Holly Salad was a perfect blend of spicy and savory, while the Pasta Salad offered a lighter, yet equally tasty option. The standout, Spicy Pimento Cheese, was rich, perfectly spiced, and irresistible. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared? The atmosphere was welcoming, with friendly staff adding to the enjoyable experience. Chicken Salad Chick is a culinary gem for salad lovers, offering a unique twist on classic favorites. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a delicious, wholesome meal❣️”

“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.”

“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.”

“Who doesn't love a bacon flight!? The steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. Everything had a lot of flavor. It's a nice low key setting and the staff was excellent. We will for sure go back next time we are in town.”

“Went to The Depot to celebrate Graduation and my daughter’s Birthday. The food was Amazing, staff was Amazing and it was obvious that everyone that worked there wanted us to have a wonderful experience as well! A must if you have not tried it!”

“Check them out. It's a unique experience but worth repeat visits. Affordable with the amount of food you get. Mushroom broth is earthy. I look forward to returning to try more. The staff is friendly”

“Such a special and unique coffee shop. I love what they’re about and love their message. The coffee was phenomenal and it’s a huge place to meet and work or catch up. Great location just outside of campus and always if you can support your locals especially with a meaning like Bitty and Beaus behind ”

“We celebrated our 30th anniversary and were excited to find a favorite restaurant open on a Monday night! As always the food was amazing and our server Angelica was attentive and sweet. Looking forward to coming back to celebrate our girls graduation.”

“Hands down one of the best places in town to read a book or have a glass of wine with friends. Don't have friends? Consider joining one of the many book clubs! There's wine tastings every other week, and they're really a pretty good deal. The pastries and coffee are fantastic. Here's a tip: if you look at their Instagram or Facebook and see a picture of some limited-time food, order that!”

“My very first visit to Sheila C’s was a great experience! We arrived about 1130 and were able to order right away. Cheeseburger combo all the way. Burger and fries came out hot and fresh. The burger was huge and the bun held together through the very last bite.Good thing we were there early because by the time we were done with lunch the line to order was about 10 people deep. Be sure to check out the opening hours as the restaurant is closed several days of the week.”

“The food is good for the most part. I've had something that was over salted and the steak portions are usually good, but I have been given a very small steak a couple visits ago. Cocktails are nice, and it seems that they make a good atte pt at stocking good beer selections.”

“This place is amazing!!! I made a catering order, and Oscar was very helpful. The food was ready on time, and everything was so good. The churros were the best I’ve had. I can’t wait to go and hear the mariachi band sometime!”

“Amazing hummus and pita! We love this place! Their portions are super generous and the food is very very good! If you don’t know what to order definitely get the sampler, there’s something for everyone and the best way to find your fave!!Vegetarian options: Hummus and pita bread is amazing! Their salad is delicious too!”

“Excellent customer service, it’s an amazing place to stop by in Auburn. I always look forward toward coming here whenever I’m in town. They have tasty sweets and lemonade. Can accommodate desired sugar levels on the lemonade (s sugar, 1/2 sugar)”

“Just had my first experience and was treated and waited on like a member of the family. excellent food as well as excellent service. probably the best experience I've had all year as far as food goes. Food was hot and delicious. I had the oxtail for the first time, chose this place as my first experience and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend.”

“The coffee shop is such a fun little gem in Historical Opelika, blending historical with contemporary swag; it makes going to a coffee shop fun and enjoyable. With exciting new drinks and traditional espresso drinks, and now food!, the shop offers delight for every palate.The staff always does a great job providing a warm smile and kind words. Keaghan and Alex always go above and beyond to ensure my needs are taken care of and now adays that is such an anomaly in coffee shops. Will be frequenting often! Keep up the work.”

“Conquistador Auburn has it all - amazing atmosphere, delicious dishes and desserts, and superb service!! If you haven’t yet been awed by this exceptional establishment, you really should give it a try!! Love, love, love!!”

“You MUST GO. Great beers! Outstanding selection. Good & cold. Pour yourself! And the food? WOW. Highly recommend the Bacon & Jalapeño Tater Kegs. They are to die for! Very friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely be back.”

“The food and atmosphere were great. I mean, the blackened redfish was one of the better seafood dishes I have had anywhere, at any price. Everything was really, really good except for the service...which was just okay. The server didn't seem completely with it, at all.Oh yeah...if you have disabilities, make sure you tell the wait staff ahead of time. Otherwise, you will be walking up and down stairs.”

“As I’m driving on a long roadtrip, coffee is a must, and getting it quick helps get us back on the road.I have to admit, 7 Brew somehow turned around my large salted Caremark iced latte in a matter of seconds, and it tasted great!I’m honestly kind of shocked by the quality for how fast they were. They said “we’ll have that right out for ya,” and before I could hand the straw to the person in the passenger seat, the drink was being handed to me. Pretty impressive.”

“Recently tried them for the first time a few weeks ago after living in Auburn for 10 years I'm kicking myself for not trying them sooner!I LOVE the way their sausage taste!Breakfast is AMAZING! Their luch/dinner is equally fantastic!Everyone is SO welcoming and nice as well! Fast service.Currently waiting on my biscuit to be delivered now?”

“Exceptional! From craft cocktails to Boulin Balls to entrees- outstanding! We had a Filet Oscar Special and Scallops-both meals were unique and delicious. Molly gave us exceptional service!”

“We went yesterday for the first time! It was such a lovely experience. The coffee was great and I loved all the food especially the cinnamon roll. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Service and food are always good here. Often, my downtown go-to for a great lunch or Pregame drinks on game days. Been eating here for 20+ years. It's an Auburn Staple.”

“This is the best coffee experience you will ever have. The atmosphere in Sidetrack is so well executed, the attention to detail is amazing! The records playing in the back, creates such a relaxing ambience. My lattes were the best lattes I have ever had. The employees were so nice, and the owner came and talked to us and was so intentional even though they were so busy. I knew you created your own prices when you go, but it was just such a nice touch, because you aren’t going to do that anywhere else. I would pay $100 for the experience you receive here”

“This is quite possibly the best restaurant in auburn-opelika, let alone the best Mexican restaurant. Get there for breakfast, the chilaquiles are outstanding. As is everything else on the menu - especially the picadas. Service is great - nothing fancy but very cozy.”

“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!”

“They have good pizza, but it’s a little over priced in my opinion. “Make your own” pizzas start at $10-12 and that includes NO toppings but cheese. Each topping is an additional $1.25. The pizza is good but again, over priced”

“On my recent trip, I enjoyed indulging in the exquisite flavors of the risotto with succulent scallops and earthy mushrooms was an unforgettable experience. Each bite was a symphony of taste, perfectly harmonizing the rich creaminess of the risotto with the delicate sweetness of the scallops and the savory notes of the mushrooms. Equally delightful were the crispy fish n’ chips and the zesty satsuma tart, each dish expertly crafted to tantalize the taste buds. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the personalized handwritten note gracing our table to the napkin that perfectly matched my outfit. These thoughtful touches elevated the dining experience, making it truly one-of-a-kind and leaving a lasting impression of culinary excellence. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“One of the places you MUST try for lunch while in Auburn!!! Be aware that their hours are limited (Wed-Sat 10-2 and Friday dinners) and although the line may seem long, IT MOVES QUICKLY AND IS WORTH THE BRIEF WAIT! Also, the menu changes daily, so keep an eye out on Instagram where they post the menu in the post captions the evening before service. I highly recommend ALL of the bowls. This place is run by the sweetest family and caring staff. The food is always fresh, unique, and flavorful. Go give them a try!!!”
