    Freshly made food, reasonably priced. The chef salad is very big. The eating area is outdoors but it was clean and free from bugs.

    We randomly stopped here because the wavy man outside was cute. The ice cream was good. I had…read moregraham cracker ice cream, I've never seen that flavor anywhere! The man in the store that day had a cute baby with him, so it's nice to see a family business like that! Just a warning though: Before entering there was a lot of 'warning' signs. One went on about not using the porch swing inappropriately and being sued. We just figured it was a funny sign. I didn't bother taking a picture. It pretty well reflected the vibe of the store though. The man seemed a little uncomfortable that we were there and looking at the stuff for sale. We greeted him and he was cold? I figured he was stressed with his child? It is a tiny shop out in the country though, so it's something I should have considered before stopping. The shop is also an antique store and had some uncomfortable items for sale like a rebel confederate civil war uniform, a few ancient-looking rusty locks, and a piece of money that looked like it was covered in blood (not sure what that was about?). I felt others might find these details important. I didn't feel comfortable taking photos because I felt like I was being watched and didn't want the man to feel like we were 'reporting' him or something (??), esp being in the middle of a town where we knew no one. eek kinda scared even to write this review :(

    Shortly after opening, I stopped in. I hadn't had a real banana split in over 30 years. The one I…read morewas served was not only great but I have become addicted. Southern people are known for their hospitality and owner. Bobby Wagner, is as good as they get. When you get a hankering for some really good ice cream, stop by. You will not be disappointed and might even become addicted, just like me. Ken Kennard Flomaton, Alabama

    Best burger I have had in a long time. We were in Monroeville for TKAM on Friday and unfortunately…read moreMonroeville, as much as I like the town and its friendly residents, suffers from the lack of good restaurants. So we had to eat before arriving on Friday (we had a late lunch at David's Catfish House and it was very good). On Saturday we drive out of town and found South Forty on our way back to Mobile. It was about 10:45 am and a little early for a burger, but after reading the reviews decided to go for it. Glad l did as it was in many ways as good or better than our favorite burger places in Mobile. So if you find yourself on the way to Monroeville stop in at South Forty, you will not be disappointed.

    I wasafter I had sat down and ordered because she didn't want my service dog in the restaurant…read more She said they have the right to refuse service to anyone. I showed her my ADA card, and she went and called the owner who told her that he/she was going to post on their website that no animals are allowed including service animals. I told her that was illegal and they are breaking the law, and she became quite nasty and said "We have the right to refuse service to anyone." Again I attempted to educate her on the legalities regarding service animals and she said to me "Are you going to stop talking and listen to me?" When I asked to let us eat in peace and please get away from our table, she became irate and told us to leave that she was going to call the owner. I'm very well aware of my rights regarding my service animal and that she will hear from my attorney. As I was leaving and she had the owner on the phone, she then tried to tell us we didn't have to leave. After she had been rude, non compliant with federal laws, and called attention to my elder sister and I, staying was not conducive to her ugly attitude. She NOR the owner obviously seem to feel federal laws protecting people with disabilities apply to them. Perhaps a bit of insight will keep them from discriminating against someone else. I WILL indeed be contacting my attorney as well as the Justice Department, and the State of Alabama's ACLU. Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), private businesses that serve the public must allow service dogs to accompany their handlers into all areas where customers are normally allowed. What Businesses Must Do Allow Access Everywhere: Service animals must be permitted in public areas, including restaurants, grocery stores, and hotels, overriding standard "no pets" or health department food-service rules. Treat Equally: Businesses cannot isolate customers with service dogs, charge extra fees, or demand pet deposits. Accept Only Dogs (and Miniature Horses): Under the federal ADA, only dogs (and in specific guidelines, miniature horses) trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability qualify as service animals. Emotional support animals are not protected. What Businesses Can Ask When it is not obvious what service the animal provides, staff may only ask two questions: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special ID card or certification, or ask the dog to demonstrate its task. I called back at closing time to obtain the owner's name and phone number, she refused to give me either and told me I had to call back in the morning. She then proceeded to tell me "I'm the rude woman that spoke to you and when I once again attempted to explain that service dogs are protected by Article 3 of the American Disability Act, she started again arguing. At this point, I played the phone down and walked away not wanting to argue with her or to be rude and hang up on her. Its unfortunate that this lady feels she can not follow the laws she doesn't want to, and that the owner seems to feel their business is exempt from federal laws. Robyn Belknap 8/24/2026
