The original part of Hunts Restaurant was a gas station! The original part of hunt's Restaurant was a Walk O Pep gas station in the 1920's, owned by WF Covington, owner of Walk O Pep gas distributorship. W.E. Boyd ran the business from 1936 until 1941 when C.N. Hunt bought it and operated it as a service station. He sold alcoholic beverages and introduced dominoes and checkers as entertainment for his customers.

In 1956, Billy Joe Reeves purchased the building and operated a full service gas station.In the early 1960's, he saw the need for an eating establishment on this side of town and turned the profitable gas station into a three-stool oyster bar serving fresh-shucked oysters on the half shell. Business was good, so around 1970 they enlarged the building to serve six at a time!

In 1981, it was enlarged to double its size. In 1989, he renovated the building and built a fresh seafood and steak restaurant, which is attached to the original building, connecting the oyster bar and lounge. in 30 years, Hunts Place has grown to a full size restaurant and lounge seating over 200 people. Hunts Place, a popular eating and gathering place for Auburn and Alabama coaches, players and fans as well as some well known politicians.
