mid-90s
we lived behind Gabby's which became Tiger Time and then became something else so a lot of diner food.
they built the Papa John's close by the railroad tracks while we were there and their pizzas were ridiculously cheap, like $4.99 or $6.99. over the next few years, they locked in the original price for us because we called for takeout so much.
I worked at the Flush and Provino's so lots of free meals while I was working.
definitely Checkers because it was so cheap - maybe the first time I had ever eaten at a Checkers before.
and Niffer's 99 cents burger night was Thursdays, I think.
good memories.

Food quality.
That sad. Steamed subs are not rocket surgery.

The original one is still fine. A lot of their franchised locations are awful though. The one in Homewood still does a decent job.

Chick fil a, large fry and large drink, use coupon that the university bookstore passed out at the beginning of a semester for free sandwich. Large combo for $3.25 or so, at the time.
I stockpiled those coupons (came in little books with other coupons that I never used). I think we took a whole box of them one time.
ETA: this was the West Mag CFA, the old one.
We also did the strutting duck for trivia a good bit, once it moved downtown to the former Olde Auburn Ale House location. Win a free burger and fries, $1 PBR, good times.
Other places I remember: Hibachi express $4 hibachi chicken bowl, Creole Shack burger po’boy. Tino’s Mexican out on Opelika Road. Whispering Oaks buffet out in Opelika. Buffalo Connection. “College special” at Moe’s (burritos). Little Italy slices & $1.25 PBRs.
Momma G’s was also good when I started college, before the franchises and all that. It was all downhill when they pulled the pool tables out of the original location, and put up TVs inside.

My senior year I was the night manager at Little Ceasars so I remember a lot of pizza nights.
When was that? I delivered for the Opelika location. I took home quite a few free pies at the end of my shift. Got sick of eating them, but would still take one home and trade it for beer with my roommates or neighbors.

the free shrimp reminded me...we ate a lot of fricking venison. I think I ate enough deer in 5 years at Auburn to last a lifetime.

Split a lot of cici’s pizza
The CiCi's buffet was $2.99 when I was in school. You really couldn't beat it for the price, but that quality wasn't hard to beat. It'd definitely keep you "regular".

My freshman year, I hit that deli about 3x a week. Would get the Lupton Special.
Once I was living off campus, my go-to’s were Rooster’s, Wall St Deli, Momma G’s, Pita Pit, Buffalo Connection, among others

Not a hunter myself, but had several roommates and friends that were so I ate plenty of that too. I think the best thing I had was when a buddy made jerky with some tenderloins on his smoker. It was fantastic.
Another that I just thought of was the one topping large pizzas that Papa John's sold for $4.75. That was around '94 or so. I ate too many of them. I had friend that ordered them regularly and never threw away the boxes. He just stacked them in the corner of his little one bedroom apartment. Stacked them all the way to the ceiling and had started another stack when his mom visited and freaked out about it.

We weren’t hunters, by me & my crew loved fish’in.
My last two years, me & my roommates (that are now lifelong good friends) went in on a “Fry-Daddy”.
We fried the hell out of SO many bream, shellcracker, catfish and bass in those couple of years.
It was the BEST investment 3 dudes on skimpy college budgets could have hoped for.
We wore that Fry-Daddy the frick out on a regular basis. And it just kept on going… turning out golden, flakey, crispy filets like nobody’s business.

I had an original Fry Daddy that my mom gave me. My roommate in '95/'96 was a graduate student in Fisheries. Each of the grad students were given a 1 acre pond to grow tilapia in. We used to have fish fries on the regular. It was good fish too....not the bullshite tilapia you find in the grocery stores that has been raised in China or Guatemala on a diet of pig shite.
I also knew this dude who had an uncle that had a small catfish farm outside of Montgomery. If we wanted some catfish we'd just put one of the pellets that the fish were used to eating on the hook, drop it in the pond and BAM! Dinner caught in under 10 seconds. It wasn't exactly what I'd call fishing, but it was damn good eating!
