Auburn Alabama Weekend Guide: Where to Eat
Auburn has no shortage of wonderful places to gather around the table, whether you are looking for a relaxed lunch between campus activities or a special dinner after the game.
If your weekend calls for brunch, Lucy’s is one to add to your list.
For lunch, Amsterdam Cafe is a great stop for a relaxed meal. With a location along Moores Mill Road near Mathison Interiors, it’s easy to stop by our showroom while you’re in the area.
For dinner, Hamilton’s on Magnolia is a downtown favorite, offering contemporary American fare in a charming setting. Botanic is another wonderful choice for an evening out, with a welcoming atmosphere and thoughtfully prepared dishes.
For a lively evening, War Eagle Supper Club offers rooftop dining with views of downtown and campus, making it a fun spot to enjoy the atmosphere of Auburn after the game.
No visit to Auburn is complete without stopping at Toomer’s Drugs
for its famous fresh-squeezed lemonade. Located at Toomer’s Corner, it is a longtime Auburn tradition and a must for first-time visitors
Game Day on the Plains
Auburn football is about more than the game. From the excitement of Jordan-Hare Stadium to the traditions that bring the Auburn family together, game day is an experience all its own.
Spend some time exploring Auburn University’s beautiful campus, take a photo in front of Samford Hall, and enjoy the tailgates and excitement leading up to kickoff.
For those who have never experienced an Auburn game in person, seeing the eagle’s pregame flight and hearing the crowd at Jordan-Hare are memories worth making.
After an Auburn win, make your way to Toomer’s Corner to experience one of the town’s most beloved traditions. There is nothing quite like seeing the Auburn family come together to celebrate.
