    Great food!!! Awesome small town charm but hip too! Bakery nearby. Service was friendly & professional.

    Oh wow. This place was spectacular. The okra wrapped in bacon is phenomenal. I now understand all of the comments about it. Love the ranch dressing with it. I had the smoked chicken, which was fabulous. I love the white sauce with it. I am more of a fan of dark meat, so I'm not sure I would order it again, but if you like white meat, it is really good. Hunter had the ribeye and loved it. I tasted it and even though I'm not a ribeye fan, I have to say it might've been one of the best ribeyes I've ever had... Not that I've had many. Lillie had the shredded pork which looked fabulous. Potions are very big. We did have the coconut cake and I had some coffee. I am not a huge coffee person. But I have to say the coffee was fabulous. And the coconut cake... I'm not a coconut cake guy, but I could've eaten the whole dessert by myself. It was really really good.

    We have lived in the area for almost a year now and how have we never heard of this place! Definitely a hidden gem. You feel very comfortable in the restaurant, kind of like you are having dinner at your fancy aunts house We ordered the bacon wrapped fried okra for an appetizer as I saw everyone else comment about it. This did not disappoint. We actually ended up ordering a second one so we all could have another piece. For entrees I ordered the smoked chicken, which came with broccoli as a side and some delicious white sauce underneath the chicken. The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. With a dab or the white sauce, epic. I also could eat a plateful of the broccolini. My husband ordered their ribeye which also came with broccolini and potatoes. He rated it an 8 out of 10 (and didn't even ask for A1 sauce), so I would say that is a huge compliment to the chefs! Dessert we had their coconut cake that was recommended. You could tell it was homemade and cooked with love. Great night. Cannot wait to come back!

    Best restaurant near Auburn! Everything was delicious, great ambiance. Bacon wrapped okra is a must-have. Cocktails were great, too. Like Acre but less snooty, and the food is just as good.

    We discovered this unspoken, timeless spot called Sticks and Stones. Our usual place was closed for…read moreThanksgiving weekend, so I used Yelp to find nearby options. One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish. We finished with an espresso Martini and some great Calamari. This has become our new FAVORITE. Must try!!!

    Beautiful cozy spot. The atmosphere was casual upscale. The staff was very attentive…read more I enjoyed the food. I thought the hummus was tasty with the soft pita and even the veggies. My drink was tasty, it was their version of a lemon drop. My friend got the whiskey sour and she was upset at the size... it was pretty tiny. My entrees was very delicious but it came out lukewarm. Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there. This spot has an extremely limited food menu, so it's not a place I'd frequent but it's definitely worth a future return!
