I live in CA now, but lived in Auburn area for several years in the late 90s. If you want a local owned southern cookin restaurant in a nice big old house, go to Whispering Oaks. I just looked up the address, 707 Geneva Street. Great lunch buffet, nice people.

I liked Niffer's. There's a pizza place, in an old movie theatre, in Auburn that's pretty good.

Buckhead Broker, you are OLD!
I don't know about James Brown's...the son went to Auburn (the rest of us were blessed to attend U of Alabama) and graduated last year. You may be interested to know that City Grill is no more  . Greed took it. |
