Eating out in Auburn

Following the Tigers to Auburn this weekend? Enjoy this list of recommended dining spots in and around the area:

A popular game-day restaurant near campus since 1991, Amsterdam Café offers a seasonal, Southern-inspired farm-to-table menu (left) and impressive cocktail and wine lists.

Zazu Gastropub blends a traditional English-style eatery with a fresh seafood-focused menu that includes Cornbread Waffles and Shrimp, Cedar Planked Salmon and a range of grilled burgers.

Crepe Myrtle Cafe at Blooming Colors offers savory crepes, egg scrambles and fresh-baked muffins and scones for a quaint breakfast near campus.

In Columbus, Meritage Café, owned by former Louisianan Faye Simmons, serves up pressed paninis and wraps at lunchtime and courts crowds at a popular martini bar in the evenings.

One of Columbus’ premier locally owned restaurants is The Market, and with its Parmesan Crusted Trout and popular Low Country Boil, it’s easy to see why.

But if you’re lusting for a fried po-boy or hot bowl of seafood gumbo, Café Le Rue is a great option for Louisiana comfort food.

Between meals, don’t forget to nosh on this area’s go-to sweet snack, peanut brittle, made with Alabama’s finest.
