Hensley our bartender was phenomenal and great service! It's great when I travel around and nice people are part of your day! The bar is beau tile and the cattle skulls made in Bali!

If you're looking for a place that feels like a high-end hunting lodge married a modern restaurant…read moreand raised a family of delicious food and strong drinks, The Hound is your spot. I started off with the Moon Over Madagascar, and let me tell you--if this drink had a fan club, I'd be president. The black tea and vanilla combo sounded like a weird dare at first, but it ended up being shockingly amazing. Whoever came up with that mix deserves a bonus and maybe a parade. Now, let's talk about the shrimp and grits, because these were not just "good." These were "call your mama and tell her you've tasted greatness" good. The chef is from South Carolina, and you can taste every bit of Lowcountry pride in that bowl. Perfectly cooked grits? Check. Pile of blackened shrimp? Double check. A sauce that made me rethink my entire life? Oh yeah. If they sold that sauce by the gallon, I'd be bankrupt but extremely happy. Erica, our waitress, was an absolute rockstar. Super helpful, incredibly informative, and somehow managed to keep the perfect balance of friendly and professional--even on the Sunday after the Iron Bowl, when half of Auburn is stress-eating. The place was spotless too, which is impressive considering the emotional damage that game causes every year. Bottom line: The Hound is a must-visit. Come hungry, order boldly, and thank me later.

Lost Pizza is newer to the Auburn area & even newer to me since I don't live in the area anymore…read more It's located in one of the newer developments near the high school, and it was very popular on the night I stopped in for pick up. The team member was kind & efficient (my favorite combo). I've had take out a few more times since. The space seems fun & open based on what I could glean from the quick visit. There's free parking in the lot. Love: garlic ranch (I could drink this); Kujo & Otis pizzas (fresh ingredients, balanced toppings to crust ratio) Like: salad (love the pickle!) Dislike: wings (baked but not crispy as I would have liked, good flavor & size)

Too overpriced for ok food, nachos and chicken cost 32 bucks in total, plus the dude up front…read morecouldn't even hear my full order. Though I'm glad he didn't cuz a meal that was alright quality costs me more than a larger and better portion at Amsterdam cafe. Don't really bother coming here for anything besides alcohol because the food is way overpriced for what you're getting. Also it took bro 30 minutes to cook up nachos and chicken when we were the only people in the entire store, definitely just another come and go restaurant of Auburn that'll be gone in the next 2 years or so.

There is so much outdoor seating and games. No food offered but you can go to Hey Day that's connected and have plenty of options. (A little pricey for a college town) At the brewery I had the blueberry seltzer which was ok...mildly ok. Not too much blue berry notes coming through but it wasn't super fizzy which I liked. The TPTC is the best local brewed beer overall after having a flight of six of the locals. They also offer canned options and have one non alcoholic. Wish I would've gotten a tshirt bc I love their logo!

I ordered an old fashioned and well wasn't the best is all I'll say. For dinner I got there chicken bacon ranch flat bread. It was decent. I'd get that again. The wife got the house salad with steak. That was not great. Wife only ate maybe half of it and only had a few bites of the steak. So kind of mixed on place. I'd go back if someone really wanted to go but wouldn't go on my own accord.

Botanic is not a place. It is an experience! Hands down one of the most breathtaking, spacious,…read morecarefully curated places I've been all year. It is definitely on my Alabama "must-visit" list. I am from out of town, but I came looking for a workspace and wanted to grab lunch while I was there. I came around 1 PM and there was a 30 minute wait for 2 for lunch, but have no fear. We just went upstairs to the martini bar and were able to wait and work. We were seated in the garden for lunch, which are mostly cute high tops. Before we even began our meal, a fat adorable white rabbit crossed our path. Then an equally beautiful black rabbit crossed our path. I had no idea there was wildlife just prancing around and I was giddier than a little kid. (There are also ducks and geese who run around!). Now to the food: Had to get the smash burger because it was award winning and boy it did not disappoint! The depth of flavor and the juiciness of the patties were impeccable. I opted for guda cheese instead of cheddar, and I added grilled onions, and this was an excellent choice. The fries are super crispy and the comeback sauce is perfect for dipping . Don't judge us, but we also shared some desserts. The standout was the white chocolate cheesecake, which was sweet but not super indulgent. I would definitely skip the crepe next time. The description made it sound delicious. But overall, it was lacking in a flavor. It was by far the most disappointing dish of the day. Even though it takes a while for food to come out service is impeccable, and the servers are just so lovely, so be patient. I will definitely make the Botanic my go-to establishment when I'm in town!

We were visiting friends in Seale Alabama from Jacksonville Florida and they know I am very…read moreparticular about restaurants and have a very limited diet. Dining is an experience and my hobby my husband says. We indulge most nights in many great restaurants all around us or when we frequently travel. I want to start by saying my friend chose this space well! Though it was about a 40 minute drive from their house it was worth it. The venue, grounds, market, dining areas, etc. are all truly a delight. I cannot believe a place like this exists in this area. We started with adult beverages and the amazing complimentary bread with an assortment of butter options. For appetizers, we ordered the pimento cheese and corn ribs (forgot to photograph). Both were delicious! For entrees, the ladies had the pasta dish with my friend adding the shrimp. I am a vegetarian so I did it without any protein. It was very good. The men had the filets with the sides and found them to be cooked properly. The pros were as follows: Beautiful venue/spaces Delicious food The market had some nice shopping gifts to pick up for souvenirs and pastries for breakfast the next morning The cons: We were supposed to be at an inside table and they said that was not the case once we arrived and it was way too hot outside and the flies were terrible. I felt as if they should have accommodated us as we still waited 30 minutes to be seated despite her making reservations weeks ago. That really put a damper on the experience. Their corkage fee to bring your own wine is $40 per bottle. I take my own wine to every restaurant I go to and have never paid $40 even at much higher end places. The waitress was nice but loud and forgetful. We asked for things multiple times and never did get some of the requested things. They do offer lunch and dinner and the menus are a bit different. They focus on fresh produce from local farmers and some they grow there. If you are within a 30 minute drive, I would suggest going as there is not much in that area that compares according to our friends. There are multiple dining spaces so make sure you choose where you want to dine and confirm that. There are multiple bar options as well.

We arrived on a Saturday night and despite being told there was a 25 minute wait for a table-we were seated in about 5 minutes, which was great. The beer selection wasn't as big as some Mellow Mushrooms and they were out of the cider I originally ordered..but we got drinks we liked. The pizza took a little long to come out but it our waiter gave us updates often so we never felt forgotten. The pizza was amazing. As Mellow Mushroom's pizza always is! If my son decides to go to school here-it will become a regular stop when we visit.

I will always remember my first visit here: Funnily enough it was my first time visiting Auburn…read morebefore moving here, and my allergies were going crazy. I had taken 2 Benadryl and decided to grab a bite to eat. Our server was great, very knowledgeable about my safe gluten free options, and super friendly. Unfortunately my Benadryl kicked in and I was half asleep barely able to keep my eyes open I could tell the server was probably wondering if I was ok, I was able to enjoy a slice while hot and it was so delicious but had to head back to the hotel to KO anyway by the time I woke up to eat the rest it was cold and no way to warm it but it was still delicious! I can't wait to go back again and enjoy it hot and fresh!
