Toomer's also has a great sandwiches and a variety of Auburn merchandise.

Be sure to make a reservation at Amsterdam Café'. With great service, ambiance, along with a locally-curated menu, Amsterdam is always a local's favorite lunch/dinner/Sunday brunch spot. The crab cake & avocado made the list of “100 DISHES TO EAT IN ALABAMA BEFORE YOU DIE". The calamari appetizer is also a personal favorite.

A true Auburn staple! Opening on the corner of Magnolia and Donahue in 1976, Momma Goldberg's has since grown to have many more locations, with one right next door on West Longleaf Drive as a convenient/close to home option. The steamed sandwiches and "Momma's Nachos" (Dorito's smothered in pepper jack cheese and steamed to melty deliciousness (trust me)) can't be beat. This is a very close (right down the road on Longleaf) lunch or late night option for when you don't want to venture downtown.

Pho Lee is definitely in my top 10 favorite Auburn restaurants - Large portions of scrumptious Vietnamese cuisine for a fair price. Their medium-spiced Pad Tai with shrimp is the best I've ever had. Their homemade egg rolls dipped in their sweet sauce is also a must try.

Bombay has been a consistent favorite ever since I first moved to Auburn almost a decade ago. Although the building and atmosphere is modest, the food is always very high quality and scrumptious. A true local staple. My favorite dishes are the medium-spiced chicken tikka masala, vegetables fritters dipped in the tamarind sauce that accompanies this appetizer, vegetable samosas, and plenty of naan! Try the sweet naan with dinner, also, you won't regret it!

Downtown Shopping

Auburn Hardware is a downtown staple - As many times as I've shopped here, the kind owner is always present and there to help. Among the many boutiques in Downtown Auburn catering to the Greek life, Auburn Hardware is a welcomed feeling of home and, surprisingly, the best place to find gifts and local souvenirs. In fact, the woven purse I receive the most compliments on is from here! A local gem.

Tiger Walk

The Tiger Walk at Auburn University is one of the most imitated traditions in all of college sports. Each gameday, the Tigers walk from the Athletics Complex down Donahue Drive to Jordan-Hare Stadium. But the team doesn't make the walk alone; instead, they are cheered on by the thousands of Auburn fans who line the street and, in the process, create one of the great scenes in college football. The walk begins two hours before each game.
