To top it off, I am currently sitting in the hospital at 1:38 AM beside my partner. He's in a hospital bed and is experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, chills, and severe stomach cramps. The only thing we ate today was American Deli; I had the shrimp fried rice and chicken wing combo, and he had a burger with fries and wings. Now he has nothing in his stomach and has to rely on the IV for hydration. I would give this restaurant NEGATIVE stars if I could. Please don't go here for your own safety!

The fries were delicious, and the homemade punch was a perfect addition to the meal. Don't come here expecting some fancy, upscale dining experience. This is a true hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop type of spot but those are often the places that surprise you with the best food. Once you step inside, you'll see that the restaurant is well-maintained, updated, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There's only one lady working in the counter, so the service goes by pretty quick. She rings you up after you place your order. Food is about 20 minute wait because it's fresh but it's definitely worth it. They even have plenty of collegiate pride throughout the restaurant, especially representing the state of Alabama. Great food, good vibes, and the kind of place where you can tell the focus is on making quality meals. Definitely worth stopping by!

The architecture and the staff, from the moment you step through the door, knock it out of the park. The Garden dining room is hands down my favorite spot I've had lunch at in the Auburn/Opelika area. The time and energy invested in creating that environment doesn't go unnoticed, and it shows in every detail. Environment and service define a dining experience. Food plays a huge role too, of course, but if you're already on edge from an underwhelming atmosphere or inattentive staff, it's hard to fully enjoy a meal no matter how good the food is. This place nails all three: ambiance, service, and food. I also love that the menu is handcrafted and changes with the seasons. It keeps things fresh and gives you a reason to keep coming back. I've been maybe half a dozen times now, and every visit has been enjoyable and unique in its own way. The flavor combinations on paper may sound odd to some but trust them. The food has always been incredible.

Gorgeous place! The staff is incredible…read more We all loved our meals. They use fresh farm to table ingredients and you can really taste it. We had the oysters... yum. Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal. Sadly, no lattes... the only other bummer was that the waiter forgot my cocktail. He apologized when I asked for it... I know accidents happen

I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.

We were seated within 15 mins of arrival. Everyone was so kind. Our table shared the shrimp cocktail, and I had the 2 filet medallions with green beans and cheesy grits. The food was delicious. I found the shrimp super flavorful. They are prepared by weight, not numbers, so the shrimp count is between 5-7. The cocktail sauce was tasty. I ordered my steak medium rare. It was just over that, but still so tasty, juicy, and tender. The grits were a stand out! They were so good that our table got an extra side to share. Our server, Addison was such a personality and knowledgeable about the menu. Her service convinced me that I could trust her with basically anything. We sat outside, so we never got further than the threshold so I can't say I know too much about the vibe inside. However, there was great people watching, GREAT food, and great company. All around, probably the best place we ate all weekend. Thank you Addison for making our dinner great!

Drinks were fabulous (try the Peach Mule) and we crushed the bacon flight (fought over who could get the last maple bite). Then we had shrimp and grits, bison burger and a Caesar. All were flavorful and some of the best we've ever had. Our server was training tonight but his apprentice was just as knowledgeable and attentive - in fact he helped us with drink selection and ensured we had bottles of water flowing since we were so dehydrated from the day. Cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Thank you friends at the Hound - hit the spot.

Food: 3.5 Service: 5 stars…read more We tried sooo many items on the menu. We had the pork skins, wings, and bacon flight for starters. The pork skins were very good and crispy. The wings were wayyy too big and felt undercooked, and the bacon flight was unremarkable. The entrees were also okay. The best was the shrimp and grits which I would return on this dish only. Evrything was just too too salty. My palate was ruined after a while. The rest were just okay, but I did like the greens. Standout was that bread pudding. Grab a friend to help you or keep it all for yourself!!

If you're anywhere near downtown Columbus, this needs to be your stop. The Old Fashioned was beautifully balanced, garnished with a gorgeous orange peel, and at $10 it's an absolute steal -- honestly, they could charge more and it'd still be worth it. My wife is vegetarian and had the pasta, which she loved just as much -- great sauce, feta, sunflower seeds for crunch. This place genuinely has something for everyone, carnivore or not. Add in a waiter who was on point the whole meal and that down-home Southern ambiance (exposed brick, string lights, the whole vibe), and you've got a restaurant that nails food, drinks, and atmosphere all at once. If you're looking for where to eat in Columbus, don't even think twice -- this is it.

We also very much enjoyed the banana pudding. Charming place, friendly service and great food...just wish the greeting was a bit more welcoming, still a 5 star experience.
