    They were good pancakes, but they weren't cooked all the way through. Maybe a bad day I get it. I still recommend the place but a little iffy

    Oh man, how I really wanted to love this place! It is bright, cheery and clean when you walk in and the hostess was amazing. But that's about where the goodness stops. The food is just bad. The other yelp reviews said the same thing and I thought I might be different but sure enough it was absolutely horrible. The pancakes were dry and hard. My biscuits and gravy were cold and my husband got a croissant sandwich which had plenty of goodness potential but was just bland and he didn't even finish it. This place could do so much more if they could just lock in their kitchen. Hope they take reviews seriously and change their ways!

    Management is completely indifferent to the quality of their restaurant. I've been 3 times; the first two times underperformed Waffle House, and the third I was served RANCID hash-browns cooked in black oil. I'm no critic normally, but Staks is as close as I'd ever to paying for a stomach ache.

    We came during a baseball series for breakfast and will definitely be back. The food was unreal and it came out in less than 5 minutes. Make sure to get a biscuit! And pancake!

    Wow! I was totally going to be OVER this place, because they messed up my STUFFED French Toast order 3x (it takes a LOT for me to complain too), but when Hailey, the manager came up to check on me and that my order was rectified, that turned it all around! She explained that situation, with their cook and how she'd make it up to me, with a gift card! Cheers to great customer service! Also, definitely order the Siracha Candied Bacon!!! #yourewelcome

    Egg, cheese and chicken sausage croissant and barely cooked hash browns

    Alrighty! This is a hard one!!! lol I wanted this to be a great review. I should have paid attention to Yelp reviews instead of google's. Lol The atmosphere is great! Bright, pretty and fun, energetic! The staff were all nice and helpful. Everything moved quickly and food was out fast, like as fast as my coffee (honey vanilla latte) which was delightful!!!! Soooooo yummy! I ordered the Pancake stuffed beignets and added on 2 eggs over medium. My hubby had the breakfast croissant sandwich with chicken sausage, hash-browns and added a single banana pudding pancake. He had sweet tea which was the best we have tasted in quite some time. My exact reaction was, "oh! It tastes clean!" I don't like when the tea urn isn't clean and makes the tea taste off! This was fabulous!!! For the negatives, unfortunately it's the food. My eggs weren't over medium, as I had runny whites. I do not like runny whites at all and usually I can't eat the eggs. I did eat them. It wasn't too much, but still disappointing. I'll continue my search for the perfect over-medium eggs. lol The pancake beignets weren't stuffed at all! They had a tiny amount of cream coming out the top of them but hardly enough to taste. I kept searching the insides of them to find the goodness. It wasn't there, sadly and they were a little overcooked. Very dense and dry, unlike real beignets. I get it, they are pancakes, but still! My hubby thought I somehow ordered hush puppies lol. The glaze was good! The hubs food: the sandwich was good but it was brought out so fast that the cheese was not melted at all. The hash browns were warmed not cooked, and the chicken sausage.........was NOT breakfast chicken sausage. It's more like your brat type chicken sausage. They should really cut it in half and grill both sides, rather than throwing 2 huge, long, round chunks in the sandwich. Lol The croissant and very small amount of eggs were good tho. The chicken sausage tried to steal the show, but unfortunately it failed and wasn't even eaten. It felt like their concern was getting the food out fast, rather than it being cooked and hot. His banana pudding pancake was good. He liked it and said it tasted just like banana pudding. The banana pudding cream was actually too sweet for me and had a fake banana flavor, but I didn't eat it, just tasted. Anyway, we won't go back. Definitely wasn't worth the $40+ we paid.

    Chicken sandwiches cheesy tater tots and fruit.

    Walk in, have seating assigned, order at the register, sit, and food is delivered. Probably better for breakfast, we stopped in for lunch. The chicken breast was more than ample and well cooked. Something about it had a strong taste of garlic, which was too much for me (unusual). The cheesy tots were excellent. Fruit salad was okay, but they tried to use too much of the pineapple and got some of the inedible center in there.

    Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint in downtown Auburn absolutely knocked it out of the park. I had…read morethe Cobra Kai, my wife went with the Dr. Gonzo, and we shared an order of sweet potato fries--every single bite was incredible. Hands down, the best burger I've ever had. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor without trying too hard. On top of the food, Haley, our waitress, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Great atmosphere, great service, and unreal burgers. If you're in Auburn and don't eat here, you're missing out.

    I was fully prepared to let this go--truly, I was…read more Then I saw a cross-post on Facebook enthusiastically declaring the restaurant's love for students while politely reserving the summer months for the "townies." Nothing makes the locals feel appreciated quite like being marketed as seasonal seat-fillers. I'm a burger 'n a beer guy, and I had been meaning to try this place for a while--even though I suspected I might not fit the target demographic (people who know what Wagyu beef is and believe that it is for burgers- that's not me). Still, I did my part. I chose a quiet summer Sunday evening and took my wife. The place wasn't crowded, and we were seated quickly. So far, so good. The townies were in play! I asked for a draft beer list. I didn't feel it in the moment but that is where the train jumped off of the track! Instead, I received a QR code. Fine. I've played this game before and it worked great, taking me directly to the current beer list. Except this QR code didn't lead to a beer list. It led to an app. Apparently; beverages had been placed behind a technological security checkpoint. I'm not in the habit of collecting unnecessary restaurant apps like souvenir cups, but I tried to be a good sport and downloaded it. The app then requested my personal information so I could create an account--because, evidently, viewing a draft beer list now requires the same level of commitment as applying for a mortgage. That was where I drew the line. I closed the app, deleted it, and decided I would just drink water. Then I remembered why I had come: a burger and a beer. A burger and water felt less like dinner and more like disciplinary action. So, I told my wife we needed a new plan, because we weren't eating there. We regrouped at The Irish Bred Pub in Opelika and had a great meal. No app. No account. No data harvesting. No identity verification. I didn't even need to provide the name of my first pet. Better yet, there was no need to consult a beer list--they always have Guinness on tap. I won't be back to Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint. Will my absence affect their's bottom line? Of course not. I'm one townie with unreasonable expectations--like being allowed to see what beer is available without entering into a formal digital relationship. But from this townie's perspective, the customer-engagement experience was a complete miss. The food may be outstanding. It may also be a spectacularly good value. I'll never know because I couldn't make it past the beer-menu background check. Potenial customers keep doing what you're doing. Just understand that anyone who wants to see the draft beer list will apparently need to surrender an email address first. Oh--and for the record, I never even clicked the QR code for the food menu. By then, I had already exceeded my administrative limit for dinner.

She made sure we were taken care of, was very clear and knowledgeable about the menu, gave incredible recommendations, and was also thoughtful in celebrating my boyfriend's promotion to Captain in the Army! The ambiance is really sweet. Whether you're here on a date, catching up with friends over a nice meal, in the mood to watch some sports, or celebrating a special occasion, this is your place! There's a sweet vibe going on with some music in the back, but it's not too loud where you can't hear your own conversations at the table. The food? Chef's kiss. They have a rotating menu, I think depending on the season/time of year, but they have some consistent all-year-round items on the menu. I first came here on Valentine's weekend with my boyfriend, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about their truffle parm fries, nor their milk and cookies- finger licking good. This time around, we got the Farmer's Daughter (which made my usually anti-veggie boyfriend absolutely love btw), half-dozen Gulf Coast oysters, and fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks. This is the kind of place you go to where you won't be able to find these dishes just anywhere. It's uniquely delicious, and I genuinely think you can't go wrong with what you choose! My boyfriend, a coffee connoisseur, also loves their French Press Coffee! Thank you Lucy's, for always such a great experience and for fantastic food.

    Extremely noisy so bring ear plugs and forget about table conversations…read more Expensive and then they attach a 3% fee because their kitchen staff do not make a good salary. I will go elsewhere in the future as the value and cost ratio is not worth the visit.
