In the mood for breakfast before our all day doctor's appointment, my hubby chose this spot. The welcoming was great, atmosphere was quiet for a breakfast moment . I ordered the classic chicken waffle, while hubby ordered you know it!!! steak and eggs... The delivery of our food upon arrival looked delicious, but the taste was toooo devine... husband's steak was cooked to his liking and my waffle was melt in ya mouth construction....

I got the "drops of Jupiter" and I will say for a place that only took about 8 minutes to cook it fairly good the pancakes were decent I'd recommend going with something a little more out of the pancake area for a better meal the syrup was probably the most nasty it had no flavor and tasted like water and glue but the only reason I'm reading 4 stars because there doughnuts were bomb. Me being from Utah and tasting a whole lot of native dishes that one took me back and I loved every bit of it. It's a decent place the staff are always super friendly and great place for families will be coming back maybe just ordering something different next time. read more

we were told our wait would be about 10 minutes. During that time other groups came in and were seated before us. It seems all you have to do is call and be put on a waiting list and you are taken in front of other people even you have waited your allotted time. There were 4 tables free and three local couples were taken in front of us with no explanation other than they CALLED and asked to be placed on a waiting list, no waiting like others standing there. If you are in their establishment waiting then you should be taken then and not told you have to wait while an Auburn coach and wife are seated just by walking in the door. read more

Our family of four was seated almost immediately despite a busy, full restaurant around 9:30 am on a Sunday. I used the Yelp wait list and it worked well! Our waitress was friendly and got our orders in. Then we waited for about 30 minutes for our food. The wait is the only reason I deduct a star--I would have loved if they had served our half dozen biscuits first to reduce some of the delay. Otherwise, the food and service were outstanding. It is the quality of food that I am used to at the Atlanta locations. I love the biscuits with apple butter and grits. My daughter got the spicy chicken and waffles-next time she plans to ask for the hot sauce on the side as it did drench a portion of the waffle which was not to her liking. My son liked the eggs and bacon plate with grits and a biscuit. The restaurant was busy--I would recommending coming before 9 am for less of a crowd and even earlier if you can manage (they open at 7 am). read more

The fries are the soft, skinny variety, not crispy or crinkle cut.

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.

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.

I sampled the étouffée and sausage gravy, and the homemade biscuits all were really good. On the second morning that I went down for breakfast, not nearly as good of an experience. The young lady who is our server, just didn't seem like she wanted to be there, polar opposite from the previous day. Our table wasn't stocked with sugar only had a pepper shaker had to ask for both. Somehow the same hot gravy that I had enjoyed the day before were luke warm some reason, maybe just caught it at a bad time. I didn't have more fruit options out on morning too, which I did appreciate as well. I think the poor service just soured the experience. The third morning I went down for breakfast, there was a long line waiting to be seated. And the person that appeared to be seating people as the hostess, was the same server from the day before. I came back about 30 minutes later, and there was still a line so I decided to skip breakfast. I will definitely give this one another shot, when we return to Auburn for leisure based on that first Days experience and re-rate if warranted.

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.

Double double cheeseburger and bacon braised collards.

Lovely local bakery and probably the best one within a hundred mile radius. Stopped by on a Monday…read moremorning around 730 am and got to have a fresh almond croissant straight from their oven! It was hot and still steaming. Soooo delicious and fresh. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet, too. Plain croissant was good. However, it still did not make it to my top croissant spots in the US. The dough was thick, dense, and pretty chewy. The taste was very good, but it wasn't flaky and light like a true croissant. They did not have sourdough available that day, and we came too early for sandwiches, so I will have to stop by again in the near future! Staff is super friendly, prices are similar to big city prices ($5 for a plain croissant, $7.50 for an almond croissant), and the sidewalk seating is lovely.

They offer a few staples & have different items seasonally. They add options throughout the day. Since I'm normally around during holidays, it's a challenge to get anything because they can sell out quickly. There's free parking in front of the shop. Love: olive oil cake (moist with the crispy top!)

I ordered their Gambler Burger, smash patties, piled with onions, mustard, pickled green tomatoes, bacon jam, and jalapeño aioli. It was juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Service was super friendly and welcoming, the kind of hospitality that keeps you wanting to come back. And huge bonus--they take reservations, which makes planning a night out so much easier in this area. Zazu is a true local gem. Amazing burgers, great drinks, and even better people. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere is spot on when it comes to an Irish pub. (Last summer we were in Ireland, taking part in many a Guinness and other things in various pubs.) We had a wonderful waitress...and I'm sad we can't remember her name. A lady in her 40s or 50s. She was super attentive, nice and welcoming. Wait time wasn't long, everything came out quickly. Our family group had burgers, shrimp and grits and a Sheppard's pie (actually a cottage pie). We also shared an appetizer of fried green tomatoes. The portions are large and almost all of us took another full meal home when all was said and done. Tasted great, we just couldn't finish it all! The location is nice too, lots to do down that strip. As for costs, it was on par with other places with the same food quality. If you're in town, this place is a must!

Grew up in the Midwest eating KC, Oklahoma and Texas BBQ so I have high expectations for BBQ brisket. This brisket surpassed my expectations. It's the best brisket I've found east of the Mississippi River. All the meats had a good amount of smoke. Ribs were tender. Sausage had just the right amount of heat. Had BBQ beans and coleslaw as the sides. The beans were exceptionally good, with a bold rich flavor. They offer 5 sauces. We opted for the sweet sauce which is a rich tomato based sauce. We left completely happy with the experience.
