Chick-fil-A, Momma Goldberg’s, Zaxby’s, Domino’s and McDonalds. Auburn has a multitude of fast food restaurants just waiting at student’s fingertips.

Sometimes you just need something sweet. It could be a reward for taking that test you studied hard for, a Friday treat or just a little bit of sugar to top off your meal. Most of the best options are in the heart of campus. Inside the Student Center, there’s the pastry hub Au Bon Pain and milkshakes at Chick-fil-A.
