Wonderful experience. When I arrived I was the only customer but I was happy to see others arriving shortly after me. I tried to have a bit of everything & even got a sandwich to go for a friend that drove in I wasn’t expecting. They seemed to really appreciate it & I was happy I didn’t have to fix anything but happier to them of course. I’m glad I chose the pecan apple salad add salmon because it felt like summer outside today. Nice selection on tap & desert was perfect. Staff was great, somewhat hands off, yet available when wanted/needed. Look forward to bringing guests next time.

This was a phenomenal experience. My best friend and I dined in Saturday night at this majestic place, which was an old depot building converted into a gorgeous three story restaurant that really provided so much ambiance and set the tone for what ended up being an amazing dinner. Our host Will may have been the highlight of the night. Extremely kind, engaging, knowledgeable of the menu, and definitely took pride in representing Zazu, which I thought was so impressive. They have a superstar there in that young man. The only thing better than Will was the food itself…the hushpuppy appetizers were phenomenal in flavor and texture, and the jambalaya was HEAVEN ON A PLATE. I normally would never spend $25-30 on a single entree, but I tell you what, I did and I’d do it again and again AND AGAIN, it was THAT good. Tender chunks of chicken, succulent jumbo shrimp, okra that you can see, and it had the entire taste of actual jambalaya without being overly saucy, which is quite hard to pull off, and I got all the spice I wanted and then some!!! Overall, this was a five star experience and I look forward to returning here the next time I’m in Opelika.

Poutine and hush puppies were our appetizers to start the night. Both were excellent, and best shared with everyone at your table. I had the Gambler burger. It was to die for. The pickled green tomato was a new taste. My wife had the blackened mahi. All I can say is she took the first bite, said it was great. I looked over a few minutes later and her plate was clean. At this point we were stuffed, but had to try a dessert. Our choice to share was s’mores chocolate mousse. It was great. We suggest digging to the bottom and getting a little from all the layers in each bite. I also tried a friend’s bread pudding with burnt caramel sauce. It was fantastic. I will get that next time, as long as no one wants to share.

Took out of town guests here and we were not disappointed. They were impressed by the historic building and food. My salmon was perfect! My guests’ steak was undercooked, but our waiter had it redone quickly.

Very good! Full bar with top shelf liquor. The grilled Mahi is excellent and the best creamy potato soup I’ve ever had. We went on a random Wednesday evening and didn’t need a reservation but they highly recommend reservations for the weekends.
