Opelika has a wide variety of places to eat and drink, but as with many smaller Southern towns, it can be a challenge to find interesting places that are open on Sunday and even Monday. Here are some of our favorite local restaurants and bars that are open on Sunday and Monday in Opelika and Auburn.
Some important notes:
- Article was last updated 1/15/2025. Information is accurate as of that date according to Google. We recommend checking with each business directly before making plans.
- We are not including large national/regional chain locations on this list. No judgement, we go to those as well, we just prefer to support and promote local when we can.
- We are not including places that are only open in the morning/early afternoon on this list. This resource was created primarily for our Opelika bed & breakfast guests who are mostly looking for places to dine and relax in the evening.
- This list is in order of distance from Heritage House.
