Wings were really good (maybe we were just really hungry, but I thought they were amazing!). The bartender was the sweetest person - chatty and friendly and made us feel so special. You could tell she cares about her customers. Five stars for service! The interior was a little dark and dank for an afternoon visit. Wish they had patio seating or opened the front windows when weather was pleasant.

The ribs had a perfect bite to them, not fall off the bone but very tender and juicy. I wish there was a spicier bbq Sauce option. First time trying the slaw which I was a big fan of, potato salad and beans were pretty good as well. The first time we ate in and the ambiance was cozy and relaxed. All staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back.

Eats were really good as was the biscuit. That biscuit was top notch. Bacon was done perfect. In fact everything was really good. Is it more expensive than McDonalds, Hardee's and those places ?? Probably. I won't eat at those places. But whatever the difference may be, it is far and away better quality food. Whoever they have cooking, Job Well Done.

Best coffee in town as well!!

Our attendant was Faith - she took very good care of us. We enjoyed talking with her. We give her A++ for doing a great job. Also compliment the young man who cleaned and set up tables AND made sure we had a full glass of water. He said it was his third day on job and he did a wonderful job for being "new". The ambiance was very nice - every person we talked with was very friendly and pleasant. The restaurant was full but the service went smooth. This was our second visit and we plan to come again.

The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. 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.

On first bite you could very quickly tell all the food has been microwaved. Very poor quality and not even worth the low prices. Take your money down the street to Niffer's where they won't serve you garbage on a tacky metal platter. Their brisket is an insult to the south and the state of Alabama. I have zero clue how Country's maintains multiple locations with that low of quality... must be the dirt cheap prices of their food.

A friend & I got to drop in for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The decor hasn't changed much - it's still comfortable & clean. There's free parking in the front & sides of the building.

Garrett suggested Amsterdam for lunch. Located near the Auburn campus, Amsterdam is one of more well known eateries off campus. Students may not have eaten at Amsterdam, but most can point you in the right direction. I've been tricked by appearances before but Amsterdam is in a category of its own. There's a front and a back part of the building. But I didn't know that until we were led to our table in the back. The front part is a typical "smallish" restaurant with tight booths and tables. The decorations of impressionist painters adorn the walls giving the front dining room a warm inviting feel. When we were led to our table, I thought I was being led to the restrooms. We actually went past the restrooms down a small flight of stairs and into another large room. This beautiful back room was oozing the "hidden wine cellar" vibe throughout. There were tables and chairs in the center with smaller tables and chairs lining one wall and booths on another. Then there's a large full service bar lining the 3rd wall and a workstation on the 4th wall. The ceiling with hanging panels of wood moved the light beautifully and impressed me. There was also a large floor to ceiling wine rack next to our 4 top. Gary tried their Omelet. Three eggs served with conecuh sausage, bacon, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, and potatoes. With the sourdough toast, the plating was immaculate. I didn't get to taste it, but Gary didn't have any deiicions/ Garrett opted for their Brunch special: Apple & Pecan Freeman toast. When it arrived to our table, we immediately noticed the large slices of French toast. As promised, the French toast was topped with slices of peaches and apples and butter brown sugar with white powder sugar as well. Again I didn't get to taste, but I savored it with my eye. Paul and I tried the Amsterdam Burger. He got some fries as his side, but I upgraded my side to a beautifully plated side salad. With the added fried egg, my patty was grilled to a perfect medium with just a hint of pink. Stacked with it was some lettuce, caramelized onions, applewood bacon, spicy pickles, tomato and their traditional burger sauce all squeezed together between 2 bun halves, it has to be stabbed with a long food pick to hold it together. It was juicy, tasty and just Yom Yom Yom Yom. Our server was attentive and checked on us frequently. Other notable menu items include fried brussels, lobster egg rolls, rum salmon, breakfast croissant, snickerdoodle pancakes, steak & eggs, egg white omelet and shrimp & grits. I was told their Crab Cake & Avocado is to die for. Meal prices are on the high end but Amsterdam understands how to elevate Southern comfort food.
