    My group all had fried catfish and they loved it. I had grilled salmon and enjoyed it very much. We love this restaurant.

    Food is great. George and his staff do a good job even when busy. Lemon lush, cheese balls, and chocolate lush are the biggest mb.

    Run, don't walk, to The Animal Farm in Columbus. I've had burgers across the country and this one…read moreearns a spot at the top -- juicy, perfectly cooked, everything a great burger should be. If you're anywhere near downtown Columbus, this needs to be your stop. The Old Fashioned was beautifully balanced, garnished with a gorgeous orange peel, and at $10 it's an absolute steal -- honestly, they could charge more and it'd still be worth it. My wife is vegetarian and had the pasta, which she loved just as much -- great sauce, feta, sunflower seeds for crunch. This place genuinely has something for everyone, carnivore or not. Add in a waiter who was on point the whole meal and that down-home Southern ambiance (exposed brick, string lights, the whole vibe), and you've got a restaurant that nails food, drinks, and atmosphere all at once. If you're looking for where to eat in Columbus, don't even think twice -- this is it.

But, other than that our actual wait person was awesome and the food top notch! The hot pimento crab dip is to die for and the Harlot Burger was a definite winner. We also very much enjoyed the banana pudding. Charming place, friendly service and great food...just wish the greeting was a bit more welcoming, still a 5 star experience.

    The Animal Farm - Redfish. A light combo with a hint of pepper, cream sauce. Very yum.

    After attempting to come 2 different times, I finally made it again! I hadn't been in over a year…read more To drink: I recommend the bushwhacker an Aperol Spritz, or a Blood Orange Margarita. The bushwhacker is more creamy with a chocolate drizzle and is not as boozy as other places on the Lake. The Aperol Spritz transports me straight back to Austria or Italy! Delicious if you like grapefruit and very refreshing.The Blood Orange Marg is unique. All the above are the perfect refreshments for a hot afternoon at Lake Martin. This place is always packed in the summer, if you can find a slip or table! Definitely recommend getting a table asap and looking at the menu later. Also note that they have tricky hours, so definitely worth checking Google beforehand. For food: We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp (more appetizer size than entree), the queso, and Grouper Bites. The shrimp were small but tasty. The queso was large and in my humble opinion could've been served with more chips. The Grouper Bites were very small fried pieces of fish-- a little overpriced imho. Overall great afternoon snacking.

    Great place to gather with friends and kids on Lake Martin. They were extremely busy when we…read morearrived Friday night around 7. Took an hour to get through the food line. The bar and food lines are separate so half our group stood in the bar line and half our group stood in the food line. Cheese curds were amazing, shrimp basket was good, and the sliders were ok. Had to fight for a table since it was so busy.

    Truly an amazing mix of nature and food in this wonderful, picturesque spot out in Opelika/Auburn…read more A must visit every time we're in town with fresh food, great service, and wonderful greenery and lakefront views that make this more than just a restaurant. We came in for lunch service and had some time to enjoy the greenhouse and walk around the beautifully maintained property. Once our table was ready, we were promptly greeted by our server Noah who did an excellent job walking is through the food and drinks. He was a really nice guy and we had some great conversation with him. Our food came out fast and was absolutely delicious and fresh. We got the pimento cheese appetizer with fresh chips and it was a crowd pleaser, especially with the addition of Wickle's pickles (which we had to get a jar of at Publix before heading home). I had the smash burger and it went great with the beer I ordered as well. Very tender and the fries went along perfectly with it. My friends got the grilled cheese and also the chicken picatta and everything was so hot and fresh. A very cozy and heartwarming afternoon lunch on a beautiful day. To wrap up, we visited the outdoor chicken barn to hang with the chickens and other wildlife. A great place to be!
