In Auburn Alabama you have to break from the college circle to find a Southern Soul food spot…read more Southern & Savory is a local hit. I went on a Sunday just before the church let out. The line was long and moving. The service is of southern kitchen, expect someone screaming "next" at the cash register. The menu is at the front by the register, in chalk, so it gets updates throughout the day. While ordering you are informed which items are sold out. Seating is sparse and 1st Come 1st Serve. I ordered the chicken plate. The chicken was crispy, seasoned and juicy - Perfectly fried. All of the sides were good except the cornbread. Just skip tasting the cornbread it will ruin the meal. Overall, it's Southern Soul food; however seating and dynamic menu presents the most challenge in making it an enjoyable experience.

Sadly this place isn't what it used to be. Appears to be under new management. The price for a meat…read moreand 2 sides on the menu board was $11.99; however on receipt I was charged $12.41. I asked about this and was told it was including sales tax; however I was charged sales tax on entire order again. When brought to their attention they suddenly didn't understand and had no explanation. Food was cold, corn bread and okra old and having turkey gravy on top of a country fried steak was odd.

Place is clean. And it's good and not many people coming here and the service is good. I. Told…read morethe worker what I want. And. She.

This Veggie's To Go is the third location in Auburn/Opelika area. It's located at the shopping…read morecenter on Frederick Rd, where the new local coffee shop Percfect Place Coffee is located. I went around 2PM, and there were about 10 tables and one person dining inside. There were lots of take-out customers coming by the restaurant. The restaurant serves diverse Southern meat items and veggie side items to choose from at order, along with daily meat and dessert special items. I ordered one meat (country fried steak) and three veggies (French fries, cole slaw, and rice w/gravy). The total was $9.25+tax=$10.76. Tip: students, military, and 65+ with ID gets a free drink. For over $10, I was worried that the food was overpriced. However, I changed my mind when the server brought out my food on the tray. On the plastic dish, I received reasonable size steak with my side items in three different containers. The steak was thick enough and the fries were freshly fried. This place should be your go-to place for good amount of food for a reasonable price. My friend was happy with his choice: two pieces of fried pork chuck and crispy fried okra didn't disappoint him. Mac-and-cheese had good flavor, and my cole slaw was crunchy and fresh. The service I received was also amazing: when I asked him what today's special item Chicken Dressing was, he gave me a sample so I could actually taste instead of imagining. I am definitely coming back to try other items and, hopefully, desserts also.

So today I called in a pickup order at 12:51. I gave my order, the girl obviously didn't write it…read moredown because she asked me to give it to her again. She sounded really young so I thought maybe they're busy and I gave it to her again. She gave me the total for the order and we hung up. I got there at 1:30, there was one couple at a table but other than that it was empty. I go to the counter and say I'm there for a pickup order. The girl says we don't have any pickup orders. I tell her I called and placed an order. She says are you sure you called this location? I tell her yes, because I talked to you (recognized her voice), you didn't write down my order and I had to give it to you twice. She never acknowledges that I spoke with her, just keeps saying they don't have an order and am I sure I called that store. Very casual, she obviously couldn't care less. I said that's fine and left. My phone was in the car, so before I left the parking lot I redialed the number I used before because I was beginning to think I was either crazy or being punked. She answered and I said I'm just checking the number to make sure it's you. She says mmm hmm and hangs up on me. I hate leaving bad reviews and try to give servers the benefit of the doubt because I know it's a hard job, but this was nuts.
