This place is great, prices are very reasonable, mainly cater to the older generation, but, any one can eat here. Service is good, staff is very friendly, you can dine in or take out. Their menu is changing with more choices. Come in, you won't regret it.

We moved my dad into an apartment at The Phoenix at Opelika in March and are very happy! Great staff!! Very nice apartment with lots of support for an aging parent! They have arranged home health services and physical therapy that come directly to his room. The staff including the restaurant staff have become our family! Highly recommended!

The Phoenix is an absolute treasure! They have everything needed to make this transition feel like home. The food is delicious and the menu is vast! The amenities are amazing and inviting to all ages. My daughter begs to visit her great grandmother because she loves the playground and pool. It’s absolutely perfect for her great grandmother and such a treasure to have in our small town.
