This meat and two is what southern cooking should taste like. My wife and I recently ate there and plan to take some friends there on our next visit. The fried chicken was excellent. The turnip greens and Lima beans were well prepared. Nothing was over seasoned. The staff were kind and courteous. The diner is tiny and nothing fancy. The location is sort of in the Auburn Kroger parking lot facing Glenn Ave. We had to drive "around our elbow" a couple of times to find it, but glad we did. read more

Southern & Savory Cafe - Fried pork chops, Lima beans and turnip greens. - Soul Food Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

In Auburn Alabama you have to break from the college circle to find a Southern Soul food spot. Southern & Savory is a local hit. I went on a Sunday just before the church let out. The line was long and moving. The service is of southern kitchen, expect someone screaming "next" at the cash register. The menu is at the front by the register, in chalk, so it gets updates throughout the day. While ordering you are informed which items are sold out. Seating is sparse and 1st Come 1st Serve. I ordered the chicken plate. The chicken was crispy, seasoned and juicy - Perfectly fried. All of the sides were good except the cornbread. Just skip tasting the cornbread it will ruin the meal. Overall, it's Southern Soul food; however seating and dynamic menu presents the most challenge in making it an enjoyable experience. read more

As usual we oldies are leaving a doctor's appointment. So after being in that Cold office, the hubby decided on something hot. We lucked up on this spot.. ordered fried chicken, collard greens, lima beans, rice gravy, Mac and cheese.. The ambiance was quiet, which made it so easy for conversation. I will say the place was very homely, but a few things could be corrected. I noticed a few items out of place, like the cleaning supplies not in the safe zone. The restroom was pleasant, I never comment on that, but will start. But all in all things were enjoyable read more

This place was recommended during our visit for a soccer tournament and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and well seasoned. Portions sizes were good and the food was fresh and homemade made. There was a bit of a line but it moved steadily. There was also a little wait for the food but again not so terrible. It's a small place with nothing fancy but the food is the main character!! Would definitely go back!! read more

i use to love to eat here but now I don't I placed a call in order for baked chicken and the lady on the other end didn't ask for my name nor gave me a total I get to the store and tell them I had a call in order and they proceeded to tell me they have ran out of baked chicken when I had placed a call in order so I will be slacking up on going there for a while read more

The staff was friendly. The food was good. The place was fine. The service was good. The plate was filling, but the cost was a bit on the high side. I got a country fried steak, mashed potatoes, peas and water and it was $16. Cornbread came with it. All the food was good, but not exceptional. My friend had baked chicken, fried green tomatoes, and cabbage and liked his as well, but was not raving about anything. If you want basic Southern cooking done pretty well, you will find it here. read more

Nestled in a small strip center on Glenn Avenue a few miles from Auburn University is a jewel, the Southern & Savory Cafe. The ambiance is modest, the food is wonderful and the people are friendly and welcoming. This is a meat and three. Today I had a very generous portion of fried shrimp, hush puppies and slaw. All good. I will be back soon. read more

This was my first visit, and it was definitely worth it. I got a good amount of food, especially since they were giving out free plates.

Wasn't impressed with the food, nor the value, and limited selections. The older lady at the register wasn't all that welcoming. Place was not inviting and they were playing Price is Right from the 80's. Not recommended read more

Not bad for meat and 3. Catfish was decent, fried chicken good, cornbread just okay, fired okra not bad, mac & cheese typical, and good sweet tea. Fast service! read more

Saw this on yelp but was a little afraid because of the few reviews. But since it was a high rating decided to try it on a trip to Georgia. Glad we stopped. Really good food and freshly cooked and hot! I had fried chicken and husband had fried fish. Both of us had mixed greens and he had fried okra. To top it off he had key lime cake that was super moist. Everything was really good. However, it is in a strip mall And nothing fancy. Also most of the meat was fried but there was a baked chicken option. If you are looking for a meat and two- give it a try! read more
