Chili con Queso
Michael B.

The restaurant is modern and looks great all lit up at night. Plenty fo seating for waiting on a table. Even a few games to keep you occupied. A Tex-Mex and beef bbq fan, I was looking forward to the menu items featuring a fusion of the two. Ordered the chili con queso and the brisket fajitas. The queso came out cold and some of the chips with stale. Our server brought us another queso that was warmer. The chili was not plentiful in the queso. The fajitas were screaming hot as expected. The brisket was lean and moist and had good smoke, particularly on the bark. Portions of condiments for the fajitas were tasty but not large. Overall, B&A provided a positive dining experience but it didn't live up to my expectations. I'd go again to try more BBQ though.

Lunch on a Sunday road-trip!

Friendly staff and nice place. Had a short wait for a table on a Sunday late morning. Landon was our server and he was a nice kid. Started with chips and queso to start. The kids devoured them and Landon brought a second bowl of chips to finish off the queso. B&A is a tastefully decorated with hunting and Many deer heads! Krissy ordered a chicken sandwich, Karlea got a burger, Brody got Pulled pork sandwich and Katy and I both got Christin's enchiladas. Sipping my Arnold Palmer while waiting for our meal. We loved B&A and it was a great meal on our trip to the beach! If I had an Auburn, AL Collection B&A would be top of my list. Cheers!

Chicken Fajitas
Nolan H.

I had very high hopes for this place after seeing reviews & knowing I was coming to visit on a work conference. It was good but far from great. We came in on a Wednesday night & you could tell they had staffing issues in the kitchen. They had the wait staff but inside only half the tables were occupied despite at least 5 different parties being told a 25-30 minute wait. We ended up sitting outside. We didn't mind as we lived in the Midwest & the 60s weather at 6pm was amazing. Service was a tad slow but expected in a college town. Drink menu was good. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas bc I was not really in mood for a sandwich or enchilada. It was tasty but very small portion sizes for a fajita meal. The pita that came with it was top notch. I am not a big tortilla fan but it was great to have the pita bread over that. It wasn't bad but glad I wasn't super hungry bc I would have been wanting more food

If you are looking for great BBQ this spot hit all the marks. The brisket was perfect smoked, tender, and packed with flavor. The sauces added the right kick without overpowering the meat. My sides were well seasoned and perfectly complimented the brisket. Friendly service and welcoming vibe made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back next time I am on the plains.

Smoked Brisket Melt
Angela M.

Dropped in for a quick lunch on our way home & happy we did! The staff, atmosphere & food were all great! Highly recommend the Brisket Melt - will be craving that for some time now! Might warrant another visit soon!

Wow, what amazing place in Auburn, Alabama! We were on the road heading to Pensacola, Auburn seems to be one of the best places to stop on the way. Yelp hook me up with this place for sure very cool motif, with super friendly staff. The food was the star. We got the Lotte fries for appetizer. My wife got the fried chicken tacos, and I got the brisket. Melt sandwich. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I will say, the star of everything one of those fried chicken tacos! Amazing flavors. Overall, a really great place to eat. I will be back!

Fajitas molcajetes
Derek R.

To be honest it's a 3.5 but between up or down I went up thinking just a bbq place it would be better. See below. Me and wife came here for lunch on Sunday for first time. Since church had just ended there was a good amount of people but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. The staff were very friendly and even though a little busy we're right on top of things. We were given menus right away and are drinks came out very quickly. We decided to share the fajitas molcajetes which is for two and comes with steak chicken and shrimp. As well as their tortillas, rice and correct beans. We also got a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. The good. The steak and shrimp were delicious cooked very well. As were the tortillas. I'm positive they are hand made and done right. Also the potatoes and gravy were excellent. The ok. The rice. It was alright. Seemed almost like instant rice really. The beans. They were ok to be honest I would have just preferred regular pinto beans but they were ok. The bad. The shrimp. The wife started to eat one and it wasn't fully cooked. She had to spit it out. As a bbq place it's good. As Mexican not the best other than the tortillas. I would go back but I'd just get a meat combo and maybe a side of tortillas.

Bow & Arrow restaurant - Chicken Fried Chicken, with whipped mashed potatoes, green beans and sawmill gravy
Diane H.

My dining companion and I recently visited Auburn, Alabama for what felt like the blink of an eye on a road trip to Nashville, TN. We met friends at the Bow & Arrow restaurant, at their suggestion. This restaurant has a cool vibe and a lot of taxidermied hunting trophy heads mounted to the walls. I doubt any of these were slayed with a bow and arrow, but no matter. The rest of the décor appears to be most reflective of the ever popular farmhouse chic style. There is a large dining room inside and a deck with outdoor seating outside. This is a freestanding restaurant with plenty of parking available around the perimeter of the restaurant. We were promptly greeted and escorted to a table. Our friends had dined her many times and count this restaurant amongst their top ten in Auburn. The day we visited was rainy and we arrived as the restaurant opened, so no trouble getting a table and the place did not start to fill up for lunch until 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Our friends ordered the queso blanco and cool ranch tater tots for shared appetizers. Both were good. The tater tots definitely had some kick to them! I ordered the Smoked Brisket Melt, served with their Texas-Style beef brisket, melty cheese, white bbq sauce on sourdough toast. Although the sandwich default is french fries, I requested a side of their mac and cheese. The server obliged without an upcharge. This sandwich was filling and delicious. I had to take half with me. The mac and cheese was creamy and thick, just the way I think it should be. I was pleased with this menu item. My dining companion ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken, which was buttermilk marinated and served with a side of whipped mashed potatoes, green beans and sawmill gravy. It's a winner if you're looking for a filling meal. The chicken was moist, flavorful and the batter clung to every bite of chicken. This one is pure comfort food. The service was great and we enjoyed the rustic ambience. If you're in the Auburn area, this is definitely a place to try out. There are plenty of entrees available for every palette, including enchiladas, fajitas, bbq plates, salads and sandwiches.

Brisket Combo with 2 Sides
Madison P.

This is a a great college bar and restaurant. We decided to try out the fries and they were delicious! I got the brisket sandwich it was good but will fill you up quick, the only thing I dislike was the bread it tasted almost like it had been fried. My husband got the brisket combo and was happy with everything except the rice. The sweet corn rice just tasted like regular Mexican rice. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively. The service was fast and attentive.

Two meat, two side combo. Jalapeño Sausage and Brisket.
Chris S.

I was in the area getting some professional development training done and stopping by Bucee's and was craving some good BBQ. I live in Hawaii and I miss Texan BBQ. Fortunately for me this was very close. Came in about 7 Pm and it was just me so wait time was about 5 minutes. Looked and saw the brisket I've been craving so I ordered the 2 meat combo and chose a mix of brisket and jalapeño sausage with a side of Mac n cheese and collard greens. I ordered the sweet BBQ sauce and the vinegar like BBQ sauce also. Not a big mustard fan but the waitress convinced me it goes great with the sausage so I got that too. Alabama certainly proves it is home of the sweet with the sweet bbq sauce because it had a brown sugary like sweetness to it and was good. The vinegar bbq sauce was really good and was more to my liking. I'm glad the waitress convinced me to get the mustard bbq sauce because it paired perfectly with the sausage. For the sides the Mac n cheese was a nice cheesy and creamy consistency and the collard green was soo good with the vinegar twang and bacon that I missed from the south. All and all I'm glad I stopped to eat here in sweet home Alabama and my cravings for southern BBQ flavor and atheistic were satisfied.

Delicious as always! We always stop in when traveling to the area for swim meets at Auburn and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Today we had the smoked wings with butt rub flavor, skirt steak fajitas, fried chicken tacos and street fries appetizer. Everything was fresh and filling of flavor!!

Dip trio
Cheyenne M.

The food was incredible. Unlike any kind of cuisine we've had before and it was DELICIOUS. We had the brisket burrito and the fried enchilada along with the dip trio app. We are already considering our next trip to Auburn just to go back and eat!

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.

Literally chef's kiss. We also couldn't make up our mind about desserts cause they had a Valentine's dessert menu and the couple sitting next to us also recommended the cookies and milk. Yeah- I'm really lucky and very spoiled. Definitely hit a sugar high, but absolutely worth it. Servers and greeters were also all so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend :) I think this is the nicest dinner anyone has ever treated me to. Thanks for my amazing boyfriend- I'm so grateful.

First, our server introduced herself and explained the buffet menu, which I appreciate. She was very attentive, and I think she refilled my drink a total of three times during my meal. The food options at the buffet were great. The biscuit bar offering sausage gravy, tomato gravy, and shrimp étouffée as a topping was phenomenal. 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.

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*
