My wife and I stepped into this throwback general store, The Coker Market, before the IBOB game…read morelast week. And for the record, the Alabama Crimson Tide took care of business against that team from lower Alabama. But we're not here for the basketball recap--we're here for the food review. I've heard a lot of good things about this place, so today we took a little field trip and moseyed on over to Coker to see what all the fuss was about. If you're a stranger to this part of the county and somehow manage to find the correct road, you're not going to miss it. When you reach the county "traffic light"--also known as a four-way stop sign--you're there. Go another hundred feet in any direction and congratulations... you've officially left Coker. I ordered the pulled pork BBQ plate and my wife went with her favorite: fried catfish. Now I have to be a little careful ordering fried foods late in the day because it can trigger the midnight acid reflux eruption--and nobody enjoys that wake-up call. But I decided to roll the dice. The BBQ was soft, tender, and delicious. The only thing I'd probably pass on next time is the white BBQ sauce. It's a little different from the famous Alabama white barbecue sauce that folks around here rave about. Stick with their regular BBQ sauce--it's much better. Now let's talk about my wife's catfish... that fish was the bomb. Whoever was running that fryer might have **Emeril Lagasse rethinking his catfish technique back there in that frying pan. If you find yourself here trying to decide what to order, my recommendation is simple: catfish all day, every day, and twice on Sundays. It was hot, crispy, and absolutely on point. The black bean salad was okay. My wife enjoyed it more than I did--and that's alright. She thinks for herself, and most of the time she's right. One of the things I really liked about the place is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant--it's a true general store. You can grab Alabama-made products off the shelves and wash your meal down with an ice-cold Coca-Cola if that's your style. It's got that small-town charm you just don't see much anymore. All in all, I'd give The Coker Market a solid 4 stars. In a town where you can leave city limits in about 100 feet, The Coker Market might just be the best stop in all of Coker.

My niece had the kid's pizza panini with fruit and a cookie, and she loved it all. My sister had the Reuben and the Cajun potato salad, and she was complimentary of both. The Cajun potato salad was good, but it tasted a little more like Old Bay or maybe just shrimp boil seasoning to me than specifically Cajun. Either way, it was still good! Definitely check this place out for a quick and delicious lunch if you're in town!

I've eaten at several Michelin Star restaurants all over the world that cannot touch The Globe for incredible food and service! It is a hidden gem in Tuscaloosa. You can eat on the patio or get it to go. Its cuisine is inspired by Shakespeare's plays and the entrees bear whimsical names like the Oberon steak and Much Ado About Nothing sandwich but there is nothing whimsical about the food. Every dish is meticulously prepared, perfectly cooked, and delightful to eat. This will be your new favorite.

The flavor is clean, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. Even though it's take-out only, that's never been a problem. The food is made fresh to order, portions are HUGE, and prices are very fair. If you're in a hurry, I recommend calling ahead--many people do this so their order is ready right when they arrive. Some of my favorites include the crab cakes with Julie sauce (absolutely delicious), the fried green tomato po-boy with bacon added (a new favorite combo), and the jalapeño hush puppies, which are seriously addictive. The staff is always helpful with suggestions if you're unsure what to try, which makes it even easier to find new favorites. If you're craving catfish--or just excellent Southern food--Catfish Charlie's is a must-try in Northport.
