Yay! What a fabulous find. Got a resy during move in and was exactly what we needed to relax and…read moreunwind. Packed but felt fun and alive versus loud and cramped. 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!!

You get two loaves and it is sooo soft, with the most perfect cinnamon butter. We got two apps the Mozzarella and Onion Straws... both were insane. Sooo good. My brother got the Big Mike and had plenty of leftovers. My mother and I split the ribeye! We were able to do the "split" option where we both get two sides. I got asparagus and a salad! Such a good meal. Love it!

This was our first time coming here. We arrived as a party of 3. There was a 30-40 minute wait to…read morebe seated which was fine. The customer service at the front desk was excellent and we were noticed and greeted upon arrival. When seated and after ordering it took about 10-15 minutes to receive our appetizer and food which wasn't bad. Our server seemed to not want/struggled to accommodate our needs. We did not receive knives for our steaks and had to constantly raise our hands to get our server's attention. True enough the restaurant was busy but we did not ask for much. The complementary bread was fresh and hot and the sodas were not flat. Both the appetizers(tiger shrimp and side salad) were amazing but the main course on the other hand did not meet our expectations. We all ordered our steaks medium well but one of our steaks were cooked too well that a knife could not even cut through it. Also, the broccoli was halfway done and was still crunchy. The appetizers were the star of the show 10/10!! The main courses and table service need major improvement. Sad to say I don't know if we will be back.

There's a particular kind of joy in feeding your college kid something that didn't come from a…read moredrive-thru window or a dining hall steam tray--and this place delivers that joy in butter, spice, and just the right amount of indulgence. Tucked into Auburn's dining scene with an upscale-casual pub charm, it's become our daughter's favorite spot to "take us" when we visit--which tells you everything you need to know. After a semester fueled by ramen and an alarming quantity of Chick-fil-A, she heads straight for the spicy penne crowned with perfectly cooked filet medallions. A wise choice. They don't take reservations, and yes, you may linger outside awhile on a busy night. Stay. It's worth it. For those of us with Gulf Coast roots, the menu reads like a love letter: blackened catfish done right, crispy crawfish tails, and cheese-laced grits that feel like a warm welcome home. The fried green tomatoes are a standout--golden, crisp, topped with grilled shrimp, and finished with a balsamic glaze that somehow works beautifully, even if it strays from tradition. The shrimp and grits, the catfish, the pasta--all hits. Cheesecake for dessert, especially if you're loyal to a graham cracker crust, is non-negotiable. Dim, cozy, a little whimsical (don't skip art in the hallway to the bathroom), and staffed by people who seem genuinely happy you're there. We'll be back. Often. --Chance & Becky *All Ahead Slow*

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.

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.

She made sure we were taken care of, was very clear and knowledgeable about the menu, gave incredible recommendations, and was also thoughtful in celebrating my boyfriend's promotion to Captain in the Army! The ambiance is really sweet. Whether you're here on a date, catching up with friends over a nice meal, in the mood to watch some sports, or celebrating a special occasion, this is your place! There's a sweet vibe going on with some music in the back, but it's not too loud where you can't hear your own conversations at the table. The food? Chef's kiss. They have a rotating menu, I think depending on the season/time of year, but they have some consistent all-year-round items on the menu. I first came here on Valentine's weekend with my boyfriend, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about their truffle parm fries, nor their milk and cookies- finger licking good. This time around, we got the Farmer's Daughter (which made my usually anti-veggie boyfriend absolutely love btw), half-dozen Gulf Coast oysters, and fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks. This is the kind of place you go to where you won't be able to find these dishes just anywhere. It's uniquely delicious, and I genuinely think you can't go wrong with what you choose! My boyfriend, a coffee connoisseur, also loves their French Press Coffee! Thank you Lucy's, for always such a great experience and for fantastic food.
