    Hands down one of the best burgers in the Opelika-Auburn area. We had an amazing dinner at Zazu,…read moreand everything--from the food to the atmosphere--was spot on. I ordered their Gambler Burger, smash patties, piled with onions, mustard, pickled green tomatoes, bacon jam, and jalapeño aioli. It was juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Service was super friendly and welcoming, the kind of hospitality that keeps you wanting to come back. And huge bonus--they take reservations, which makes planning a night out so much easier in this area. Zazu is a true local gem. Amazing burgers, great drinks, and even better people. Highly recommend!

    Zazu in Opelika has a lot of potential and offers a solid dining experience overall, but a few…read morethings missed the mark for me. Service was very good and attentive. We tried a variety of dishes, and while some stood out, others left us a bit puzzled--especially the poutine. It came out cold and the flavor just wasn't there. We weren't really sure what direction they were going with it. On a more positive note, the shrimp and grits were pretty good. I just wish there had been a few more shrimp to round out the dish. The mahi was probably my favorite--it was cooked well, had a nice kick of spice, and was full of flavor. As a mushroom lover, I was excited to try the portobello mushroom appetizer. It was decent, but the sauce and overall flavor could've used a little more finesse. I did enjoy trying the beers on tap--especially the IPAs. Great variety and a fun touch for a casual dinner.

    The Red Fish on half shell was delicious. Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes dish. The beef burger…read morewas also good. Celebrated a birthday with the bread pudding for dessert - yum! 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.
