Lunch specials come with a vegetable egg roll, egg drop or hot sour soup, and fried rice with the entree. I had the General Tso’s chicken and my daughter had Mongolian Chicken. Everything was cooked and seasoned well and the portion sizes are more than adequate for most appetites. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.”

Its not like I can resist the peanut butter icing anyway, but they have a loyal customer in me!”

“Butcher Paper BBQ is hands-down some of the best barbecue you’ll ever eat! The brisket is tender, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the smoked mac and cheese is legendary. Beyond the food, Mark and his team always make you feel so welcome when you walk in—it’s that true Auburn-Opelika hospitality. I love seeing local businesses like this thrive and give back to the community, and Mark does exactly that. As someone who helps folks relocating to Auburn and Opelika find their place here, I always tell them that gems like Butcher Paper BBQ are part of what makes this area such a great place to call home. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your passion (and your amazing food!) with all of us. Highly recommend stopping by Butcher Paper BBQ in Opelika—you won’t leave hungry!”

“This fabulous little gem is a must for everyone! The service was amazing. The lovely ladies who took care of us were very attentive and pleasant, they made my daughter and I feel like we were part of the family. The ambience created such a unique experience. I loved the fact that they used vintage tea cups and plates. If you're reading this review, you really must check "The Well" out. Sometimes it's the good company we are with or the great food we had that leaves a lasting impression, but here it is definitely the experience.”

“Had a nice time the other night. Durango is a great local Mexican restaurant with delicious truly Mexican food. The service is too notch and friendly. Endless supply of salsa and warm chips. The Fajitas were delicious and of course enough to take some home. Margaritas were not just out of a bottle mix.

I would only suggest they dim the overhead can lights. Felt like we were going on stage.”

“Came in with my kids last night and everything was fantastic, the food was great and the employees were extremely friendly and kind. We will definitely be back :)”

“Excellent food an wonderful staff.”

“Unusual for Chick-fil-A but the parking lot and drive-thru line were a complete mess. We could not even get in the Drive-Thru line to pick up my mobile order. The parking lot was complete chaos. I had to go inside while my husband left the parking lot and change my order to pick up inside to get out of all that chaos”

“The rack of Lamb is soooo delicious!! I've thoroughly enjoyed every dish I've tried here! The Boba Tea is always just right too! <3”

“The other day I stopped by because they were open early, ordered a chipped bbq sandwich, and instantly fell in love. It was the BEST chipped barbecue sandwich I’ve had in years! I was so mad at myself for only ordering one. I used to drive past this place all the time without stopping, and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. The customer service was great too, which is always a big plus for me.”

“Such a great place. Nice Quite spot with AMAZING food, friendly staff and GREAT prices!”

“We loved the brewery, the staff, and the beers on tap.”

“Turkey breast is great. Almost as good as candy. A bit expensive. Website won't accept gift cards purchased at Costco. Opelika store seems much safer than Montgomery store, and it must be becithey didn't have several officers at this store.”

“Ok I just ordered yesterday on Sunday it's 1:00 Monday and I have a text saying it's been delivered along with tracking number. Very speedy and very on top of things. So I will report back after we try some of the product. We ordered 13 different kinds so It my take a bit. But if they are alone top of things this way so far I'm sure the coffee will be the same. Thank you.”

“the best Mexican restaurant I know, I love their food and their delicious margaritas 😍😍 I love viva la vida, their food and their excellent service!! 😍”

“I visited Gohyang Garden Korean Restaurant and tried the duck jumulleok, ramen, pork cutlet, tteokbokki, and soft tofu stew (오리 주물럭, 라면, 돈가스, 떡볶이, 순두부 찌개). Everything was delicious and the tteokbokki stood out as my favorite. Honestly, their snack-style dishes (분식) were so good that this place could easily succeed as a Korean street food spot. Highly recommend if you enjoy tasty Korean comfort food 😋”

“me tomé un atole de cacahuate !! sabroso ..”

“Grilled tenders and green beans were good. Fried okra also good. Fried shrimp was fair. Not the quality food expected at Jim Bob's. Staff was friendly and quick.”

“**A Tasty and Refreshing Stop at Taziki’s Mediterranean Café in Auburn**

Dropped by Taziki’s Mediterranean Café in Auburn and was glad I did. I ordered the **Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken**, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The ingredients were fresh, the grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly, and the whole dish came together with a great balance of flavor and texture.

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and clean, and the service was prompt—everything you’d hope for in a quick, healthy dining spot. Whether you're craving something light but satisfying or just want a break from heavier fare, this place definitely hits the mark.

I’ll absolutely be back to try more from their menu!”

“the best Mexican restaurant I know, I love their food and their delicious margaritas 😍😍 I love viva la vida, their food and their excellent service!! 😍”

“First visit and I was very satisfied with the food and prices. Will be going back there soon !! Four ?”

“I'd it 5 stars bc the service was fast & efficient. Food fresh and hot. Great hospitality.we be back.

Vegetarian options: vegetable fried rice”

“The food at No.1 China is exceptional. The lunch portion combos are really large and They are enough for 2 meals.
The food is so tasty, and has lots of sauce, so it isn't dry. The egg rolls are great as well.

The inside is a little dated, but usually, the hole in the wall places have the best food. The staff is always friendly and efficient when I pick up lunch to go.”

“New to this place now i eat here 3 or 4 times a week. I like the idea of whatever you order is made fresh . What I do not like is the constant mistakes at the order or from the kitchen. However when its wrong they fix it but I also see alot of waste cause they throw it away. Just slow down listen better or read better. I usually have my food delivered to me and by then its too late to fix cause its delivered incorrectly.”

“Wonderful K-BBQ, and the buffet is always fresh.”

“I ordered two subs today through the app, But I had accidentally ordered them to the wrong location (Opelika location instead of Phoenix city). Once I got to the Phoenix city location I quickly realized i had ordered it to the wrong place because they couldn’t find my order, so I called the Opelika location to see if I could cancel my order because of my mistake. I was told by a girl manager at the time that there is no exceptions for canceling order if I had ordered it ordered to a different location. I was super upset knowing that I had just wasted $23 and still had no lunch for me or my partner and didn’t want to spend that money again. so I had placed a case through the app to see if I could get any resolution to my problem. Until Rocco another store manager from the Opelika location called me to find out more about my problem. Rocky was super professional and immediately took action to resolving my issue. He even told me that usually if someone Accidentally orders it to the wrong location the other location will call them to see if the order is there and if it is they would remake it at the location, which was some thing that the other girl manager never mentioned to me even after I sounded upset. Big shoutout to Rocco for delivering great customer service, now I will be gladly returning to eat lunch here when I pass through the area!”

“Great food, the sauce is delicious and I wish it could be sold in the store.”

“I had the best experience at Guthrie’s today thanks to the sweetest girl working there in the drive thru . She had such a kind heart and the most positive, genuine nature. She was friendly, patient, and truly made my day better with her attitude alone. Customer service like that is rare, and she deserves all the praise. Guthrie’s is lucky to have her!”

“A limited menu Panda, but it was good for a late snack. I was hoping the Beijing beef would be a little spicier, but the Sriracha packets boosted the spice level. Egg roll definitely helped to complete the meal.”

“Ticket number was DT#191. Just here to brag about the customer service. Zy’dreia is always so kind when she’s at the window . My food was also cooked fresh. I had to pull up to wait, but it was no problem at all.”

“We are from LA and wanted to try a new place on our recent trip to SC. I was a little upset that only drive thru was available but we made it work. We were very pleased with the quality of the food. We had to wait a little longer for our food to be cooked so they gave us a little extra food and went out of their way to make me a salad when they were short on supplies! My hubby is picky about green beans and he said they were really good. The woman was very polite and went above and beyond with our food requests. If we are in the area we would stop by again for sure.”

“delicioso 😋 buen ambiente!”

“03/30/25 came in and the house was packed so I decided to get my meal to go. Diamond quickly saw me and took my order even though she was running around busting her tail. I waited outside due to the line and she even brought my meal out to me and oh so quickly. Meal was great and Diamond was on it. I’ll definitely be back again when passing through.”
