Best wings in Opelika I recommend the standard double-dipped, which is their turbo tossed wings, then tossed back in the frier to crisp up. Knocks down some of the heat, but leaves all of the taste Outdoor seating is nice and inviting for a sunset dinner with a rustic look and live music. The servers are always great! I like their fried pickles too, but my daughter usually eats half the basket, so I gotta be fast! If you're looking for some burgers or wings in downtown Opelika, there's no better place read more

I ordered the following and here are my thoughts. The cheese stix were ok. They had no parsley, no oregano, or any green herb. The breading was subpar. The marinara sauce was very underwhelming. The fries were not hot (lukewarm at best) & lacked salt and crispness. The angry sauce had a spicy aroma but lacked kick. The bun looked flimsy and should have been buttered. The chicken breast was juicy, but had no seasoning/spice. read more

This place sucks. Our server had an attitude and cut us off while trying to order. My burger was cold and also my order was wrong.

I have nothing but great things to say about Jefferson's! the food is always great. The staff are fantastic. if you want a place to enjoy good food and a staff that takes care of you, then this is the place to be. read more

Wings were good, but the $8 for jalapeño cheddar bites to get a sloppy 6 pieces thrown into a to go box will probably leave a bad taste for a while read more

We haven't been here in a couple of months so wasn't sure what to expect. The food was fabulous..hot and fresh. The service was great also. We will have to come more often!! Love this place. read more

Terrible Service. Took 15 minutes to get a beer. We (4 people) waited for our main food for an hour and a half just to be told that it will be another 30 minutes. We asked for the bill and they didn't comp anything. It's not like they are cooking 5-star food so this is unacceptable. read more

Mushroom Swiss Burger was moist and very good. Boneless wings were big and juicy. Hot, honey citrus sauce was good. Service was great, thanks to Emily who was patient, attentive, and a delight to talk with. read more

I've been to most Jefferson's in the last 25+ years including many visits to the original so I was happy to see this one in Opelika as I was passing through. Food was good... but two beer tap options were dry, and service was thin (staffing). Otherwise it was good. Will try again when in the area. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch and an hour later were both having to run out of the shop we were in to go to the bathroom. My friend was having hot flashes and dizziness as well and almost passed out. I am not sure what they cooked their food in I'm guessing very old, uncleaned greasy surfaces but we have never had reactions to food like this before and both often eat Taco Bell and other fast food often. Never experienced this sort of reaction ever before. Do not recommend. read more

Wings were great!. Onion rings great, burger ok. FRIES ICE COLD. Ordered a beer on tap, the head on the beer was 1/2 the glass. Do we need a lesson on pouring from a tap???Waitress didn't check on us at all. Been here 2 times, thought we would give it a second chance. You can have the best wings in town, but service will keep me away. We won't be back! read more

Service was excellent! The oysters were really bland! I tried the brunch burger as well and it was great! I even topped it with the fried jalapeño read more

Called in advance to ask if they would be open until 9, when a delightful cashier told they'd be open and ready to serve, i get there 20 minutes from closing and she says everyone went home....? read more

Jefferson's - Bad Business - Burgers Near Me - Opelika, Alabama

I've always heard that Jefferson's has really good wings so we gave them a try recently. The wings were the perfect size and were cooked just right. I tried the Buffalo hot flavor and was disappointed as it was lacking in flavor and heat. I asked for a side of the next level up but it was a totally different sauce and not what I was looking for. Others in the group tried the oyster poboy, buffalo jalapeño oysters, and a burger. Overall I would say the food was fine and we would go back if in the area but I would try something other than the wings. read more

Jefferson's is no longer the same and that is not a good thing. They have fallen off. Slow and the good not the worth the wait. I was thinking who cooked this. Don't bother eating there. read more

I definitely recommend this place for anyone coming in the chicken fingers are great the fries are too. The wings are outstanding and I love this place def recommend! read more

The only good thing I can think of to say is it wasn't expensive. The tea was good too. My shrimp tacos were simply pitiful. Would give it zero stars if I could. read more

Delicious food. We got the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Brunch Burger. Great staff, clean restaurant.

My wife and I really enjoy eating at Jefferson's. The food is always fresh, tasty and served hot. I love the wings and fingers but have never had a bad meal here no matter what I've tried. The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and service is great! Great food, great staff, and cold beer, it doesn't get any better! read more

Took 50 minutes to get 3/4 meals. The other sandwich came out 10 minutes later without the fries. Was told they were cooking and would be a little longer. I told her to remove it from bill bc at that point, an hour after ordering I didn't have time to eat. I had to get to work. read more

It seems that this place is run by morons. By the time they fixed the bill of two people that ordered two entrees and a tea it looked like the old testament what was voided. Of course the order was not correct, and when we left Abbie charged us twice to our card. When calling the restaurant it is still not corrected three days after double charges that are no longer pending on the card but charged through. Corporate and Local Owner you cannot get hold of. The owners are crap, the site is not managed as you have to wait for the owners to come in from their other job, Jeffersons corporate is still silent after contacting them Monday Morning and it is now Wednesday Night. read more

A great chicken sandwich! Take the exit off the freeway, worth it. Nice staff. Good burgers.

I will have to wait on rating this restaurant because I want to try the Philly cheesesteak again. The reason for the delay is because I waited too late to eat my sandwich so it was cold and tasteless but the bread was delicious so I need to this restaurant one more chance. read more

I went here for a nice dinner and the staff was not very hospitable from the beginning. We were sat on the patio and it was too hot so we asked to move inside and management told us this was not possible even though everyone else was being sat inside (keep in mind we are the only non-white people at the restaurant) and it was not very busy. We had some issues with our food including a hair in one of the items, and management refused to compensate, saying this was out of their control. I do not recommend eating here. read more

Absolutely horrible. I came here for my lunch break and thought that it would be a nice place to get a sandwich, but I was very wrong. They restaurant is understaffed so the waitresses were running around everywhere, I got chicken fingers and they were dripping in grease, and the fries were still half frozen. Probably the worst meal I've gotten in Opelika. Save your time and money by going literally anywhere else, Burger King would even be better! read more

Coldest beer in town! Love the Jefferson burger and fries. Waitress was real nice. We always sit outside.

A beautiful night to celebrate birthdays on Jefferson's amazing outdoor patio. The tables were spread out to allow social distancing. Sidewalk chalk was available to entertain the kiddos. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and the patio wall covered in greenery is the perfect backdrop for photos. Our waitress, Ashlyn was attentive and confident providing food suggestions. She frequently stopped by for refills, etc. We started off with cheese sticks and macaroni and cheese bites. They came quickly, were hot and delicious. I had fried pickle burger and crinkle fries and ate every last bite. I know my burgers and Jefferson's blows Niffer's away. Friends had the Philly Cheesesteak, quesadillas, shrimp po boy and chicken fingers. Everything was served perfectly. I cant wait for my next visit. read more

We're local to Opelika and always do our best to support our restaurant community.....we've had takeout from Jefferson's and it was great....however, we dined in and it was a completely different experience. Our waitress had a bad attitude when we walked in, but we gave her grace because she was the ONLY waitress running food and drinks to several tables. I admit it was 8pm when we ate dinner because of sports, but they don't close until 9 so we didn't think it was a problem. Ordered raw oysters and they were notttt the freshest tasting along with only one fork, no appetizer plates or anyone checking on us...there was a bartender and hostess not really doing much until the bartender had to start cleaning because it was now approaching 9pm. Then waited over an HOUR for our food only for it to come out of the kitchen cold. Highly disappointed at the quality for the $100 price tag. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Horrible food service and disgusting food. It took almost two hours to get burgers and wraps for five people. After talking to the mgr she couldn't give any excuse as to what the problem was. She didn't apologize and offer 20% off the ticket. We will never return! read more

Wow. Just wow. Terrible. We have gone a couple times. The food is about average and the service is nearly nonexistent. We ordered and it took over 20 minutes for chicken fingers. We politely asked to pay for our tea and we walked out. read more

Loved the specially made-order cheese burger, thank to cook named Blue. great atmosphere, ancient cozy feel with TVs, music, full bar with GREAT tap beer, Goose Neck & Back Forty on TAP! really beautiful town, people, roads, but watch out for stinkn ars pigs it was koool that Blue came out & talked to me I had a Back Forty Naked Pig ale (yummm) then came burger customized to have pepper jack cheese & the works also Great fries, thick & hot outside are redbrick roads, ancient, a side open air porch + all the shops very nice waitress, VERY tasty food & decor, nice comfy town read more

For a burger and crinkle fries that looked so appetizing, it ended up tasting average. I had to dump a layer of my own BBQ sauce at home and more ketchup on the fries to taste anything. The fries were also stale. read more

My first visit to Jefferson's was not a good one; however, I've been back numerous times now, and each time is delicious! I've even taken my family here when they come to visit. On my first visit I ordered a Ceasar salad that had so much dressing on it, I could've eaten it with a spoon. The dressing wasn't even good. The cook HAD to know that when the chicken is swimming, you've put a little too much on it! My husband and I decided to give it another try in hopes it was just a fluke. I haven't ordered a salad again, for fear it may be another terrible experience, but I have found a couple of dishes that I LOVE! Hands down my favorite item on the menu is the chicken finger sandwich, with the chicken tossed in the medium wing sauce. Their sweet and sassy sauce is also pretty amazing. It's like a honey mustard meets bbq sauce that's exactly as the name suggests, a little sweet and a little bite to it. My husband loves the philly sandwich. It's fully of ooey gooey cheesey goodness! I've tried their regular fries and they are just okay, but their curly fries are really good. My only real complaint about this place is the service. We usually have to wait a few minutes for a table, but that's expected since it's a pretty small place. With that being said, there's no reason it should take twenty minutes before the waitress realizes your cup is empty. There always seems to be enough servers to go around, but the service is continually at a snail's pace. The servers are always friendly, so I try to be patient. It's something they really need to work on, though. All in all, I'm a fan of Jefferson's. I just know it's never going to be a quick meal. read more

I have been to Jefferson's in Anniston and was excited to see this one in old town. I can only review the Philly cheesesteak and onion rings. Grease poured out of the onion rings... the philly tasted like it had been microwaved and the bun was greasy, but the meat was dry. Inedible. The wait staff were dressed sloppy and one had their 3-4 year old child in there with a pacifier in his mouth running in and out. The tea was good and the french fry i had off of my friend's plate tasted fine. The place just felt like a dive... not the good kind. Wish we had gone to niffer's next door... Next Day: I made an order of onion rings here at my job to see if it was the nature of frozen onion rings.. (which those obviously were) and they came out perfect... tested them on two customers and myself... squeezed them to test for grease... not one drop... nice crispy delicious onion rings... read more

Bartender was awesome. The food was ok but decent tap beer selection. The area is q bit of a ghost town scene but I loved it. Wish that the food was a bit fresher and had a little more flavor, was average bar food style, nothing too special or to bring you back. read more

The wings were delicious along with a side of onion rings. Great service and great food...well worth a visit!!!

My husband and I ate at Jefferson's last night, and I must say it was AWESOME! Their wings are definitely the best I have had in quite some time. Plus the service was great! Prompt and super friendly! They have a great menu selection also, so we will definitely be back to try another dish! We definitely recommend this place! read more

I was a part of history in that the original Jefferson's in Jacksonville, AL was a favorite of mine. So, when Jefferson's opened in Opelika I was thrilled! They still have some of the best wings and burgers I've ever eaten and they're one of the few places locally with raw oysters. Everyone who goes with us remarks about how wonderful the food is. The problem? The service. You'll never see the same waitress twice and they seem to be in a constant state of wait staff turnover. This leads to average to below average service and often times your order will be mixed up or take entirely too long. If you're not in a hurry and have basic expectations for service, the food is worth the trip every time! read more
