    Steak, Mac and cheese, greens and Pesto Chicken Flatbread
    Mariah H.

    The A/C definitely works in here lol. There is a good amount of seating, all bench style and seat yourself. The food here is okay. I ordered the fried green tomatoes with crawfish to start. You couldn't really tell the tomatoes were fired because they were drenched in sauce. The sauce was good, very creamy. The crawfish however, were a bit tough. I also got the pesto chicken flatbread. The bread was really good but the pesto and chicken lacked flavor. It was filling but nothing to crave.

    Bourbon old fashion

    We loved the ambiance of the restraint! Staff was polite and informative! Brisket Mac hit the spot! My much prettier and better half ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes had generous portions, good flavors and nice plating. Would recommend to anyone looking good food downtown We2. The Fridays hit this one out of the park!

    We had a great time at close cleaver. We ordered their signature shrimp and grits, blackened Mahi Mahi with Wild rice pilaf, roaches Brussels, kids meal- chicken fingers and Mac and cheese. My jalapeño margarita was just right. Service was just amazing and kind. Loved the stairs with all the street names. Don't forget to order beignet bites and dip it with bourbon creme. It was heavenly

    February cocktail menu 2024.

    We really enjoyed Coosa Cleaver! The restaurant was warm and inviting. Located on a charming street with overhead string lights. As soon as we saw the menu online we knew we wanted to eat there. Parking was a challenge but after three times around the block, the perfect spot opened up. So many yummy items on the menu! I enjoyed the outstanding shrimp and grits. He had the chef's special chicken picatta. The chicken was served on a bed of deliciously seasoned mashed potatoes. There was a special February cocktail menu with Valentines themed drinks. I had the raspberry rosemary flavored spritzer. A little too sweet for me, but I drank every drop! We went nuts and ordered the bread pudding to share for dessert. It was delicious, too. Served with ice cream and bourbon sauce. The service was friendly and attentive. Seating is on three levels with some open air seating on the top floor. If we were staying in Wetumpka another night, we would go back to Coosa Cleaver to eat. We had a great meal!

    Fried wickles

    One of the few places for an avowed vegetarian/pescatarian to get more than 1 or 2 options on the menu. Therefore, we ate both lunch and dinner there. We made it feel like we were eating at 2 different restaurants by eating lunch upstairs (window seats overlook the street and you get some views) and dinner downstairs. Our waitress upstairs was spunky and tried hard but there were some basic things about the menu that she didn't know, like there's bacon (I'd advised her of my vegetarianism) in the brussel sprouts. We started with the fried pickles which my husband is still talking about days later; I concur, good but I'm not all about them like he is. We then split a portabello grilled cheese which I AM all about, the blending of the flavors on the toasted just right yummy bread was so good. We chose the grits as our side cause we're in the south, nothing special. We added the Brussels since we were splitting our main and I have a pretty insatiable appetite. After sending back the ones with bacon we got a new order sans bacon and we definitely could've done without them. For dinner, our waitress was super spunky and knowledgeable- a real treat. We again mostly split a main, this time the fish tacos which were fine- good, neither the best or the worst I've ever had. She recommended the sweet potato fries which I normally like and they were thick and yummy in spite of the fact that I suspect they were store bought frozen. I nearly forgot, we also ordered a beet salad which because it's summer we were told it actually becomes the summer salad and is not made with beets but rather blueberries and strawberries... it was very good. But, the piece de' resistance was the fried moon pie for dessert. If you eat nothing else in Wetumpka eat the fried moon pie. You can thank me later.

    Tuna appetizer
    Kenneth S.

    I love a local joint. The Coosa Cleaver is a descendant of Little Sam's Cafe founded in 1909. Tonight we had Ahi Tuna appetizer and tater tot nachos appetizer. Both were top shelf except I got a tough piece of tuna amongst an otherwise awesome meal. Flatbread pizza was tasty. The Brussels sprouts side was good. Fish tacos were off the chain! Washed all down with an Oskar blue pale ale

    The shrimp and grits.
    Teresa B.

    The service is always great and the food was delicious. Tonight I got the shrimp and grits. I had a mojito that was delicious as well.

The service is always good, and staff have always been friendly and caring. All the locations we visited were fairly new and nice and clean. Sometimes it can get loud in certain locations, but that was never a real issue. Today, I had the seasonal special of the "Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash". WOW! It was impressive. Everything was perfectly seasoned, well-cooked, and plated beautifully. I also had the "French Toast". It was sweet but enjoyable. We had an incredibly positive visit, and we will visit there again.

Food came out we had ordered the Chickichanga & The Works Omelet. Both dishes were amazing and tasty. Next time would ask for some salsa but great dishes. The only issue was once the food was served we never saw our waitress except across the room, didn't check to make sure everything okay or needed anything and finally when we were done 10 minutes flagged someone down to get our check that was very disappointing. Review is mainly for the food not the service or would be lower.

I'd recommend the dark meat as it was better. I had the greens, mashed potatoes, and black eyed peas. The greens could use some salt but everything else was 10/10. It's not super nice in there but it's clean and the servers are very kind. Theres a very small town feel to it. Will come back!

    I had really high hopes for Martin's just because I know that sometimes the best food places are…read moreunsuspecting. The place is not the cleanest-- floors needed vacuuming, chairs were held together with duck tape.. but I pressed on hoping the food would redeem the space. Service was friendly. However, it was awkward listening to the waiter/waitresses/hostess/ kitchen staff have a conversation with each other across the entire restaurant. This was especially true after a patron sent something back and the kitchen came out loudly exclaiming that they wanted to see the food that "wasn't good enough." I had the fried chicken, greens, okra, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and the tastiest fried skin/breading. That's where the goodness stops. The turnip greens were flavorless and complete mush, as though they had been sitting on the heat all day. Mashed potatoes were clearly from a box based on the consistency, color and flavor. Gravy had no flavor as well. There wasn't enough salt on the table to make it all better. The okra came out about 15min after we got our plates. It was fresh, but again, flavorless. My husband had the fried pork chop. It was just okay -- cooked well, zero flavor. Butter beans were good flavor wise, but definitely seemed to have been sitting for a while. It was odd to us that the only things you could get to drink were water, tea, lemonade, milk, and coffee. The second star is only for the chicken. I doubt we'll go back because the above experience for $50 is not worth it.

It is run by a husband-and-wife team from catering, food preparation to being the entire waiting staff - just the two of them doing everything. The food - southern cuisine - was already laid out buffet style in the main hall. At the far end of the hall were desserts. Drinks of water, orange juice and sweet tea were in the dining room to the left of the hall. Now the dining room is large enough area to accommodate a party of 40 (there were 28 of us). I don't care for southern cuisine, unless it's seafood. But I did like both fried and baked chickens, spinach and cabbages; had multiple helping of them. I wished rice was included. The abundance of spaces between the tables helped in reducing the noise level. I sat at one of the smaller tables so that helped a lot. The overall decor evokes a pre-1980s feel, and apparently so is the upkeep of the building. The service was good enough that I would have given it at least four stars. Then I went to the men's restroom. When I finished my business, I turned the doorknob to unlock and it came loose. I though: was the door unlocked the entire time? This was shocking. Anyone could have entered. For that, one star is removed. (Had someone entered while I was *ahem* busy, I would have deducted two stars.) The restroom doorknob issue is enough reason for me to not recommend O'Dessa's Blessings. I hope the owners have done something about that.
