Sheila C's is a staple here in Auburn. Those who know, know, and those who don't need to be told. The burgers are incredible, big old school burgers, none of that paper thin smash burger stuff everybody's doing now, and the fries are good too. My only gripe is that this place is in serious need of some updating. It doesn't have to be modernized, but my god the air in here is like soup and everything in here is sticky. I felt like I needed a shower after eating, partly because I was stuffed with a giant greasy burger, but also because the air in there is soup. I love the old school atmosphere, but the humidity is a real problem. It's hot and humid enough outside most of the year. $35 for two burgers and fries in an old building, surely they make enough money to replace the tables and chairs with ones that aren't sticky and can get some decent HVAC to suck the moisture out of the air. The food is 4 stars for me, but the shape the inside is in drags the overall rating down. It's a very popular spot, and the environment really needs some work. read more

This was one of the best burgers I have had anywhere. Service was on point and everyone was very friendly. The place is what you expect to see in a dive. Wall to wall customers. Very clean environment but busy. read more

My husband and I came on a rainy Saturday afternoon two hours before a home game. There was on one party ahead of us ordering. I like this wholesome location with friendly staff and a no frills menu. Everything is made fresh to order and prices are reasonable. I ordered a chicken sandwich and my husband chose the hamburger combo. The combos are an additional $5 more with fries and unlimited fountain drink. I believe they only take credit card and cash. There were a few TVs with football games on but the sound was turned low. Come here for a quick meal before the game! read more

Sheila C's Burger Barn - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Came here after seeing it was in the top 15 Alabama burger spots. Not sure what rank it held but it's in top 15 according to the article I read. I got the cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger was great. Cooked and seasoned perfectly and is also a good size. My only issue was the fries. To me they were disappointing. The burger was close to a 5 but I'm eating the whole meal and fries brought it down. The fries were cooked to a point they were almost stale to me. Beyond crispy hard and crunchy. Hopefully they're not always that way because I will be back because burger was so good but I really need fries with my burger. lol. read more

This was my first time going to Shelia C's after living in Auburn for several years, and it did not disappoint. The burgers were a really good size for the price. We did not have to wait super long for our food, and although the restaurant was fairly crowded it did not feel like it. I would for sure go back again, but probably not on a game day as I feel it would be way too crowded. read more

Best burger in Alabama. Bun is nicely toasted and meat is juicy. Fries are great too. Definitely coming back!

My beautiful wife and I decided to give Shelia's Burger Barn a try on our Friday lunch trip. It was early in the day when we got there so it wasn't so crowded. I guess they didn't have enough workers because it took FOREVER to get our food. After a long wait to get it it was lukewarm at best. We'd be willing to give it another try because I've heard great things about this establishment. read more

Before I say anything I want to get something straight, the meals are massive so if you have a small stomach don't eat too much. 1. Food But let's get back to this I will like to say this is one of the best hamburger restaurants I've been in and everything is fresh like they just got the meat from the cow. Also the meal has so much oil but I like it. 2. Service The service was just "fine" there wasn't much to say about this. There just ordering. And that's it. 3. The Ambience remains me of the country like a small town vibe. Overall this place is a 4.3 in my opinion but I recommend trying this place. read more

This little hole in the wall has all the charm and basic decor that you would expect from a hidden gem in the Deep South. And this is a fun stop in Auburn. If McDonald's is a 1, and The Pharmacy in Nashville is a perfect 5, then Sheila C's is a solid 3-star burger. We found the patties to be a little dry, but you get a lot for your money. The double cheeseburger is a monstrosity with two smashed beef patties on a wonderfully soft bun. The quality of meat is definitely lacking something, but again, it's a reasonably good product and an enjoyable experience. We would definitely go back! The pickles are pretty standard, and it's too bad they don't use the world famous Wickles pickles since the distributor is less than a half hour drive from the restaurant. But you'll certainly enjoy your stop here and the friendly people. The fresh fries are very good and highly recommended! read more

Sheila C's Burger Barn - Burger and Fries! Nummy! - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

We had food from here a while ago and I forgot to leave a review. Great burgers, fries, and the grilled cheese sandwiches were delicious. We really enjoyed the food! Highly recommend. read more

This is simply a review to counter all the rave reviews. Don't expect a gourmet burger. It's a huge, massive, I mean, don't order the double meat because it's too much, burger. And it's a very tasty burger. I don't think they've cleaned the bathroom since they opened in 1964. The tables were covered in food. I found a bottle of windex and bused myself a table. I had a long drive ahead and made the mistake of entering the men's room. I may never recover. Listen Feller. You're going to a place called Sheila's burger barn in Alabama. Portion size is highest on your list of priorities. I think this place is exactly what the community dreams about. I gave it five stars, not for the burger, but the experience. It's everything I think of when I think of alafreakinbama read more

We came a recommendation of a coworker while traveling through Auburn. Not much to look at on the outside but don't let that stop you! Food was delicious. Menu was simple but the portion sizes were great and everything tasted amazing. True Americana. Service was not slow and to the point, order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. Give it a try! read more

Sheila C's Burger Barn - Cheeseburger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

We enjoyed a burger and fries when we were visiting the vet school. It was comfort food at a stressful time. We will be back.

Outstanding all around! We are from Andalusia AL, and are well seasoned travelers that have been all over the US driving commercial vehicles. This place instantly stood out as a "locals staple" once we pulled in. Don't be fooled by the makeshift ordering spot and dated interior. Know this, that more often than not, time and effort go somewhere and if it is not in the decor, expect good things from the food. We ordered some great sweet tea (as good as mom makes) and a double burger combo to share (I am not a person that likes cheese on my burger, but my wife is, so next time will have cheese). We had already sampled some other local spots. It was around 6pm on Saturday and there was not a long line at all. Once we got the food, a little wait, we were pleased with the service, cleanliness, attitudes, and price of the overall visit. We were tired so went to the car to eat. ONE BITE sealed the deal, for both of us. What a great burger. It had everything they offered, except cheese. You could see the butter soaked wrapper trying to hold back the explosive goodness. No matter. You could instantly taste the charred and crunchy edges to the beef patties, mixed with fresh toppings and well seasoned. The fries are always subject to preference but I like them. I like crinkle fries best though. We almost argued over the burger and I thought we would have to get another, but alas our previous meals took a toll and we could not finish. What a sad moment that was. We wish we were close enough to have this more often. I want to give a shout out to both the beautiful lady that took our order (was that Sheila?) and the two cooks, especially the tall mature guy that has that (your heart doctor eats here smile) and such a down home persona. It was like going back home and dad cooking me a burger. Although I don't think my dad can hit this level of beef patty magic. Until we can get back to Auburn, please keep this place going. read more

Best burgers in town, you have to stop by and try one of these bad dudes. I love the set up and how the service is handled

Legitimately some of the best chicken tenders I have EVER had! Extremely crispy and everything cooked to order. Very fresh and customer service was great. read more

Awesome burger joint. Cannot wait to go back. Good meat and good value. I highly recommend stopping here.

Prices are fair given the world we live in today. The burgers are huge and well dressed. The milkshakes are legit. Ask for a spoon because it ain't coming out of that straw until it has sat in your Alabama heat vehicle for a few. The fries are made fresh and hot. So good. The employees/owner are exceptional. Smiles all the way. read more

The cheese burger was bigger and better than I remembered it! Super nice folks and great sweat tea.

Five star service and food for not a lot of dollars. One of the best burgers around! Go by and let Albert and his staff treat you to a Jumbo burger and fries. You won't regret it! read more

Amazing hole-in-the-wall burgers and such. Probably nothing typically healthy, but grab a bite.

Great burgers and fries. Bit of a dive. But if I'm in Auburn and want a hamburger, this is where I'm going.

Cheeseburgers are amazing! The buns were grilled too so there was a satisfying crunch inside and the taste was like a good ol backyard burger! It was our first time but it definitely won't be our last! Just remember that you are going for a great burger so the surroundings won't be fancy! Dress casually because you really want to enjoy! (elastic waistbands should be considered ) read more

Amazing. Went because of reviews. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Great food. Love the old house. Nostalgic. Dive. Exactly what it should be read more

Had lunch there last week. I'll definitely be back!!! I love a small Mom and Pop place.

This place was a little more run-down than I expected. The "barn" in it's name and location next to the cow college should had been a clue. It is a simple place where you can grab a freshly made burger and fries. I applaud Sheila for competing with the mundane, cookie-cutter burger chains. #supportlocal. The burger was big and messy (multiple napkins required). The burgers are cooked and prepared to order. Mine was "all the way" (less onions), and I was pretty satisfied. The burger is a step above McDonalds and Burger King. The beef patty is closer to a Five Guys or BurgerFi, and that's a good thing. But, the variety of burger options and other menu items are not available here. read more

Sheila C's Burger Barn - Big juicy burger - Burgers Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Good service great staff and very friendly down home people. Burger was very good. They made sure my ordered correct

Oh my goodness!! This restaurant has got the best hand made hamburgers that I have ever tasted! The patties are large and thick, and you can tell that each one is handmade. They are seasoned perfectly. You can get whatever typical toppings you desire. Everything fits the bun just perfectly with typically nothing sliding off. The french fries were very good as well. I live in Columbus and every time I come to the Opelika / Auburn area, I have to stop in here for lunch or dinner. I was impressed with my first experience in this restaurant, and it has continued to impress with its consistent good food and hometown atmosphere. I love this place! read more

You would never notice this place if you're just driving by, but we stopped by after the Iron Bowl and were pleasantly surprised by how thick and juicy the burger was! Tasted very fresh and the steak fries were also delicious. Always happy to support small businesses and this one will make me go back! read more

What a wonderful find! Traveling through Auburn and yelp to the rescue! Needed a good quick lunch. This place nailed it! Such a delicious freshly made hamburger, not a frozen patty. Definitely worth a stop in. Staff is super friendly and helpful! Came post lunch rush so tables where alittle dirty but that's understandable. I'll be back!! read more
