Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

An advantage of living in a small college town is that it attracts a wide variety of eateries that will satisfy any palate. Students love eating off campus, and since many of the best restaurants in town are located in nearby downtown, it’s not a difficult ordeal to grab a bite to eat.

Most restaurants off campus, especially the ones downtown, accept the TigerCard, which allow students to easily pay for food. Students enjoy the atmosphere of the local bars and restaurants that often feature live bands during the week or drink specials. Don’t worry about going hungry in Auburn; just beware to not rack up the bills on your TigerCard!

Auburn Dining

Food options at Auburn Dining are fairly expensive, as one would assume from a primarily college town. However, in its defense, it does have variety and a nice balance between the classier establishments and the quick fast-food options. One local restaurant that is good to check out is Little Italy. The pricing is reasonable and the food is delicious, albeit it's not anything classy if that's what you're looking for. Another winner is The Gnu's Room, a used bookstore/coffee shop that frequently has poetry readings, musical venues, etc.

Good Food, Farish Drive

The best off campus driving is too far to walk to, but there is a great selection just off campus, by Toomer's Corner. And, of course, the Auburn experience is complete without a visit to the drug store itself.

Eateries Next to Campus

There are many different options outside of campus available to students that tire easily of the food options on campus. The cost is relatively the same for those places right outside of campus, for most are sandwich shops such as Firehouse and Auburn's local Momma G's, which also has cheap beer prices. They've got most people's favorite basics and have quick and convenient locations, while keeping the price in line with a student's budget. There are a few new frozen yogurt shops as well that are good and good for you.
