“ One of the top restaurants in Auburn, solid food, unique ambiance and quick service. Only issue is food is overstated, after three visits, each was over salted. Other than that, no complaints. Painkiller drink is great too. ”
“ Wow, what amazing place in Auburn, Alabama! We were on the road heading to Pensacola, Auburn seems to be one of the best places to stop on the way. Yelp hook me up with this place for sure very cool motif, with super friendly staff. The food was the star. We got the Lotte fries for appetizer. My wife got the fried chicken tacos, and I got the brisket. Melt sandwich. Everything was very tasty and fresh. I will say, the star of everything one of those fried chicken tacos! Amazing flavors. Overall, a really great place to eat. I will be back! ”
“ To be honest it's a 3.5 but between up or down I went up thinking just a bbq place it would be better. See below. Me and wife came here for lunch on Sunday for first time. Since church had just ended there was a good amount of people but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. The staff were very friendly and even though a little busy we're right on top of things. We were given menus right away and are drinks came out very quickly. We decided to share the fajitas molcajetes which is for two and comes with steak chicken and shrimp. As well as their tortillas, rice and correct beans. We also got a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. The good. The steak and shrimp were delicious cooked very well. As were the tortillas. I'm positive they are hand made and done right. Also the potatoes and gravy were excellent. The ok. The rice. It was alright. Seemed almost like instant rice really. The beans. They were ok to be honest I would have just preferred regular pinto beans but they were ok. The bad. The shrimp. The wife started to eat one and it wasn't fully cooked. She had to spit it out. As a bbq place it's good. As Mexican not the best other than the tortillas. I would go back but I'd just get a meat combo and maybe a side of tortillas. ”

“ We ate and drank here after my niece's graduation at Auburn and were so impressed. Bow & Arrow combines two of our favorite BBQ and Tex-Mex cuisines. We weren't going anywhere else for dinner once we saw we could have queso and smoked meats. The decor is cute. They have string lights outside on their patio area. Pick between high tops or regular tables in the original building or the additional indoor patio area. It was busy when we walked in, so we went to the bar and sat immediately. Our bartenders were very friendly and helpful. I freaked out when I saw there was a margarita that was topped with Prosecco. It's called the TE-KILL-YA, but I wanted spicy, so she used a jalapeño tequila to make it spicy for me. It was great. If I ever come back, I would get it without simple syrup to make it less sweet. I liked it so much I got two of them. The first round for my hubby was the highwaymen. He loves mezcal and likes the drink, but it was a petite pour; for real, it filled only a 1/3 of the glass. He rarely drinks faster than me and finishes it in about four sips. His next drink was a mezcal, and he enjoyed it. We snacked on the Three Amigas so I could have queso and guacamole, and my hubby could have his salsa with them. Their chips are the outstanding, thin, crispy ones. The guy next to us was a former employee, and his favorite app was the cool ranch tater tots, so he was eating those. Deciding between BBQ and Tex-Mex was hard, so I chose the fajita grilled salmon Plato. It was delicious! The salmon was grilled to perfection. I loved the toppings of pickled onions and avocado with the bed of cheesy grits. The mix of the grilled poblanos peppers and onions gives the grits the Tex-Mex spicy flavor. My hubby enjoyed the mix-and-match taco plate. He picked the pork and fried chicken. He wanted the pork, and we both enjoyed the fried chicken. The fried chicken taco is one of the best we have devoured. Your tacos come with any side, so we picked the mac and cheese made from scratch, and it was so cheesy and good. We enjoyed our meal and will return if ever in the area again. ”
“ So here we were in Auburn- small college town - Auburn. I haven't been here in 25 years - alot has changed. We were here a long weekend in July for a tennis tournament and we stumbled upon this amazing restaurant. David Bancroft is known for his skills - I love food network so I can remember his win on iron chef showdown so I was all about trying his second restaurant. The staff was accommodating and let us sit at the bar so we didn't have to wait 2 hrs. We ordered the Fajitas Molcajetes for 2 but we really should call this large bowl of goodness Smokey greatness for 5!!! Spiced and cooked to perfection!!! We sat and had a few drinks and enjoyed the food and company and overall chill atmosphere with country music playing. I am not a country music fan by the way. it was still one of the best meals I have had in a long time !!!! ”
