I had Pimento Cheese for an appetizer and a Strawberry-Walnut Salad. The pimento cheese was creamy, rich, and delicious. It wasn't nearly as chunky as traditional pimento cheese. It was served with relatively soft pita chips heavily dusted in a BBQ or seasoned salt. The chips were not my favorite. With the creaminess of the cheese, it left me wanting more of a crunch. The strawberry-walnut salad was also very good. I had it served with Bibb Lettuce instead of spinach. The salad was very good. The atmosphere was that of a rustic barn that had been revamped with white paint and modern appliances and setting. Service was amazing as well. read more

We visited Acre for a birthday celebration and loved the meal and experience! Friendly service, wonderful food. The portions were larger than we expected and expertly made. My favorite part was the dessert, a generous slice of Satsuma pound cake. read more

How this place only has 4 stars is beyond me. It is AMAZING! My husband and I came her after an Auburn game after we had a few people recommend it. We were blown away. We ordered a ton of food because we were on vacation from San Diego and wanted to sample all the Southern fare. We got the fried green tomatoes, the sweet corn donuts (the BEST), pimento cheese, fried okra, and we split the roasted gulf snapper which was to die for fresh and flavorful. We had the bread pudding, sweet corn cobbler and chocolate torte for dessert... the bread pudding was definitely the star. And yes, we were insanely full. Our server, Clint, was awesome, but everyone who brought out food or cleared our dishes was super polite and great. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Go hungry! read more

Love this place. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Try the beef tar tar it is the best I've ever had. They also have awesome goat cheese guacamole. We got the rib eye and the duck and could not have been more satisfied- until the peanut butter pie came out. Best food in auburn. read more

Had a great lunch on the way home from ATL. The Cowboy Burger was exactly what I was looking for. The fries are delicious. So good! Will be back. read more

This is a truly inspirational experience. The building itself is beautiful. The chef ‍ even grows the vegetables he cooks in the meals! Yummy!!! When you want to impress someone on a date, here is the perfect place to go! You will not be disappointed read more

I went here for graduation lunch. The Mimosas along with the fried chicken were a perfect cap to my Auburn experience

Since this place is popular for wines and craft beers and what not, this is a review for people who don't/can't drink and still want to go. I ate there for dinner about two weeks ago and it was a lovely time! I was with my then boyfriend and we had one appetizer, two meals, and one dessert between us, the total being just under $95. The food was delicious, high-quality, and filling. I wasn't too sure that "modern-southern" food could be.. worth the cost? I was pleasantly surprised on how tasty and completely worth it. Also another weird note, the outfits of the patrons were very diverse. We wore church attire type clothing, but some people were in shorts and t-shirts while other people had formal attire. It really was all over the place. read more

Went here for brunch with friends. 3/4 of us ordered chicken and waffles. The waffle was fluffy and warm and the chicken tasted great. It was served with this great tasting cinnamon butter with delicious nuts. Also had Thin Mint bread pudding, the ice cream tasted so good. Maybe could use a little more actual Thin Mints. The free valet parking was nice and fancy too. Very beautiful restaurant inside and out. Wonderful server. read more

Great farm to table restaurant. My girlfriend and I sat at the chefs bar which allowed us to see all the dishes being prepared before bringing them out to costumers. We started off with the southern fried quail which was delicious and for our entree we split the salmon in corn bisque we ended our meal off with the bread pudding... would definitely come back read more

Acre is by far the best place to have a great supper in Auburn. The filet is amazing and no matter what it's paired with, that's amazing as well! Also, the bone marrow appetizer was so buttery! Don't skip dessert. After all, this is an iron chef winner we're talking about here! read more

From the amazing atmosphere, excellent customer service and incredible menu, Acre is a must when coming to Auburn. They use local farms in the region for a true farm to table experience. They even grow their own veggies on their "acre"! I highly recommend and we go there for most every special occasion! They have a great wine selection and don't forget to have the peanut butter pie. read more

What an experience. The Acre is a beautiful fusion of southern charm with a NYC quality of food. On you way in you walk through their urban garden where many of the fresh vegetables on your plate are grown. I went on a Saturday with a large group and we shared everything. For starters we had fried green tomatoes that where crisp on the outside and a delicious firm texture on the inside. The gulf shrimp salad was served on a large piece of homemade bread with a smear of guacamole. Southern fried bacon although small was amazing for any lover of all things fried. For my entree I only got the stoneground grits since we had so many appetizers. The grits where hearty like they where made on the farm. My wife and our friend both enjoyed the grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. My daughter got the southern fried chicken tenders with mashed potatoes. I took my "dad taste" and was very satisfied with the quality of the fried chicken. Looks like my next vacation I may have to plan another stop in Auburn just to enjoy The Acre again. read more

I can't express how much I loved this place. I was in town for business and my coworker recommended it. OMG, AMAZING! I am not exaggerating. We sat at the chief bar and Will made sue to make us feel at home and taste unbelievable samples of various items, salmon, stake tartar, some kind of salami, along with my fabulous brisket burger with bacon and some kind of onion relish. Then a sample of the ice cream and a brownie like desert with raspberry preserve sauce, plus my desert I order to go since I was so full of goodness. The food was so wonderful. Will thank you for taking the time to allow me to fall in love with the restaurant, you were so nice and informative. I will be back. read more

When a restaurant fires on all cylinders (even during a pandemic), they create special memories. Everything from the greeting to cocktails, to food (deliberate presentation) and service is truly world class. We sat outside the first time and in the bar area this time. We are looking forward to the glass enclosed patio next time. Truly as good as it gets read more

Top-notch food and service. They are probably the best place in this entire city to eat. Every menu item we have ever gotten here has been perfect. read more

Food was good but not outstanding (my expectations were probably too high as I had heard a lot of hype). Portions are VERY small (had etoufee) and felt more like an app than an entree. We were there at 8:30 PM and staff was trying to clean up for the close which was annoying. Overall a very average to disappointing experience. read more

I have been wanting to try Acre every time I'm in Auburn. Generally everything was good but I was highly dissatisfied in my 16 Oz ribeye. It was not thick juicy or melted in my mouth instead it was about 1/3 in and kinda tough. The butter was good on top and the homemade fries had way too much gravy. Not excited about my first trip. read more

Went here on a date and it was delicious. They put us in a room at a table for two which I thought was such a romantic gesture. I got the duck and it was perfectly cooked over rice pilaf. My date got the special which was a particular cut of beef and loved it. He specifically commented on how good his side of green beans were - he's typically not a vegetable person. I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. The chef was also on a Food Network competition and got pretty far into it, so let that speak for itself. read more

Simply delicious! I have had calamari all around the world and I would say their calamari was one of the best I have had and is served with a pepper jelly sauce.. just delicious! I know their menu changes often but I hope this item appears again! read more

Best restaurant in the South! Owner and staff could not be more impressive! We drive forty minutes to eat here weekly. Always love their specials of the day & new drinks they come up with! read more

My husband and I enjoyed our time at Acre. Our server was friendly and helpful when we wanted some suggestions. We started out with a cheese board with Acre Mule and Old Fashion. The combination wad great and I loved the crackers more than anything. My husband ordered the chicken and I ordered the duck- they were both amazing. My husband has a huge appetite so the chicken wasn't enough for him. By the time he finished my plate, we were both so full that we couldn't handle dessert. Next time, I hope we can come for brunch or a lunch hour and include dessert. People mentioned the place being pricey but for the quality of food you're getting, it's really not that bad. It's a great date night dinner outing, special occasions, or birthday location. I'd definitely come back when we have a day and explore the area as well! read more

Beautiful inside and out. Loved the fresh farm produce growing right outside the doors. Yummy drinks and appetizers. The tenderloin was amazing. Asked for Med-rare, was a little over done but still tender. Amazingly great service for a reasonable price. read more

Wonderful food and service! This place has a great atmosphere, decor and with at least two award-winning chefs, what else could you want? Definitely the best choice of any restaurant in Auburn. It's great for lunch or dinner. They often have special events like family suppers which are always impeccable. Go see them - it's wonderful! read more

We love to eat at Acre but our last visit was on burger night! Acre serves easily the best gourmet burgers that are very creative and delicious creations and cooked perfectly to your preferred doneness. In my opinion, the burgers are under-priced for the portions and quality you receive and the service and atmosphere was great as usual. If you see another burger night coming up, make sure to grab a reservation -- you won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our visit celebrating our 11 year anniversary on Oct. 20th. We enjoyed oysters, a cheese board and the special of the night, the beef tenderloin. The beef tenderloin was the best we have ever had. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back. Love that the menu changes all the time. Service was also above and beyond. read more

This place is amazing! The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious! The best place to try if you are looking for that southern flavor :-) read more

I will start by saying that the service and drinks here are very good. However, the food is mediocre at best. Very overpriced for the quality of food you are getting. read more

Excellent food, with there being a limited amount of chef based restaurants in the area I appreciate that the menu changes constantly always giving me something new to try when I go the Acre. Service has always been great. There are a lot of TV's, and while this doesn't bother me it may some people (my mom mentions it EVERY time we go for a meal). read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here. Pimento cheese was above average, but the pita chips were awesome. For my entree, I had the Mississippi catfish tacos---amazing. The slaw in then was super fresh, and the salsa had just enough kick. My portions and the ones I saw on nearby tables were generous. The atmosphere is contemporary and sleek. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Fantastic food! I had the tenderloin and was cooked to perfection. The sides were fresh green beans and potatoes. Went back for lunch the next day and chose from their Brunch potion. Steak and eggs, which was actually some of the best brisket I've encountered. When in Auburn, go eat at Acre, you won't be disappointed. read more

Acre is a favorite for both my family and my office team. Besides offering an amazing dining environment, the food is out of this world! My suggestion is to try really hard to save a little room for dessert! You won't be sorry! read more

Hands down best place in Auburn. Chef David is a magician. Casual atmosphere with gourmet food. Every visit has been outstanding!

Was in town for a girls wknd &thought we'd try Acre. Wow am I glad we did. Service was great! Food was amazing! The chef really is creative & came up with some wow items all across their menu. Seriously....try the country fried bacon & gravy appetizer! Insanely good. Took a table full of ladies off their diets! Lol! The snapper w collard spaetzle & Brussel sprout salad was beautiful as well as delicious. Satsuma pound cake or thin mint ice cream or the tagalong bread pudding.....we couldn't chose so we got them all! Bon appetite! read more

Celebrating our anniversary we wanted to go somewhere new, so we opted to make the drive from Montgomery to Acre. We are very picky when we go out since we've both been in the service industry for so long. Everything was perfect! Pulling up seeing the pear trees lining the entire parking lot we lovely to see! Walking up you see a beautiful garden! We started with some fried green tomatoes, which our lovely boss called ahead and ordered for us. Let me tell you, I do not like tomatoes, but they were so great, I mean come on what's not great with cheese on it! We also got the blue crab beignets and strawberry & walnut salad! For my dinner I got the duck breast, perfectly cooked with that slightly crispy skin on the outside paired with a wonderful creamy goat cheese risotto in an nacho chili honey sauce! My husband got the beef tenderloin, that oyster mushroom butter with the brisket drippings is amazing, he def wanted more to dip his crispy smashed potatoes. We were so full but opted to get the dessert board to take home! Before we did that our server Kristin offered to give us the ice cream scoops we chose to leave off due to our drive. They make their own vanilla bean ice cream and they put lemon zest in it! They also have this awesomely odd sweet butter ice cream that was definitely our favorite! We're so grateful Kristin that was perfect! So far we've eaten the peanut butter pie which is my husbands favorite! Also the carrot cake, which is so decadent, most carrot cakes are overly sweet the goat cheese icing and ginger give it the perfect balance! From the service to the food we couldn't be happier! This place is beautiful and the food is so amazing. We will be recommending this place to everyone! read more

Had brunch here on Friday with several girlfriends. Everything we ate and drank was SO fresh. I love how Acre grows a lot of their own fruits and veggies. We tried a variety of dishes-from Chicken Fried Bacon to a charcuterie board all the way to Chicken and Waffles, Steak and Eggs, and Fried Chicken Fri-Yay. Everything was perfectly cooked; tender, juicy chicken that never lost it's crunch, juicy steak, expertly crafted cocktails. Regardless of what it was, everything was fresh, fresh, fresh. This is a great spot for a date night, and would definitely go again for dinner! read more

Not worth the price. The salad was ok but average... when the price was factored in, below average. shrimp and grits were good. Chicken and waffles good. will come back as we have been a few times but it needs to be more outstanding to pay that much for lunch. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious food. The original burger with dry aged beef, onion jam and bacon was perfection.

Finally got a chance to eat at Acre during a trip to Auburn on a football weekend--and it did not disappoint. We could only get a lunch reservation on this extremely busy weekend, but the food and the service were all terrific. I had shrimp and grits; great ingredients and the shrimp was crazy fresh. The wife's chicken fried chicken was tender and juicy with the right amount of crunch. We split an apple cinnamon bread pudding with caramel sauce and salted butter vanilla ice cream for dessert. The bread pudding was awesome, but that ice cream was truly unique in the best possible way. The servers were attentive, but not overly so. They were clearly proud of the delicious food they put in front of us and they had every right to be. Don't miss this place if you get the opportunity! read more

Easily the best restaurant in the state of Alabama! I recommend making a reservation as they are often busy. Tried the bone barrow appetizer and it was surprisingly really good! The blue cheese complimented it very well. I got the duck they had on the menu that day and it was amazing! Best flavor and a decent sized portion. Service was great and don't forget dessert! I will definitely be back read more
