Brunch at The Hound or Lunch at Niffer’s? Auburn and Opelika’s Tastiest Dilemma
If you’re spending a weekend in Auburn or Opelika, there’s one local dilemma everyone faces — brunch at The Hound 
or lunch at Niffer’s Place in Opelika? 
These two spots capture what locals love most about the area: amazing food, friendly faces, and that easygoing, Southern feel that makes you want to stay a little longer.
The Hound: Brunch with a Southern Twist
The Hound in Auburn, Alabama has a vibe all its own — cozy, rustic, and full of local flavor. Their bourbon-infused brunch, famous bacon, and hearty biscuits are practically Auburn landmarks. Just a few blocks from Auburn University, it’s the perfect stop before or after a Saturday stroll downtown or a visit to Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Whether you’re meeting friends, hosting out-of-town guests, or grabbing a late morning bite before touring homes, The Hound feels like home — especially in fall when the weather is just right.
Niffer’s in Opelika: Laid-Back, Legendary, and Local
Drive a few miles over to Opelika, Alabama, and you’ll find another local favorite — Niffer’s Place. Known for its burgers, fries, and fun atmosphere, Niffer’s has been a community staple since 1991. It’s casual, colorful, and the kind of spot where you’ll see everyone from college kids to families and longtime locals.
If you’re exploring homes near Tiger Town or the historic downtown district, it’s an easy lunch stop that always hits the spot.
