We decided to stay and try out other things on their menu. I had the hamburger steak with gravy and onions corn nuggets, green beans and garlic bread. The garlic bread I don't recommend as the garlic was burnt and you know how that can taste. The rest of my food was cooked perfectly and seasoned with what I like to call "seasoned to perfection". My daughter had the shrimp platter with fries which she cleaned her plate. The shrimps were huge compared to fried shrimps around this area, they were also fresh and flavorful. My Husband had the classic cheese burger which was good but he didn't rave about it the way I raved about my food . Thank you to the Manager on duty Jackie she was so kind and helpful to us while our visit here. We will be back for breakfast as a family as I am dying to try their French toast and perhaps other things on their menu.

The Copper Kettle Diner is the epitome of "hole in the wall." The entire establishment is about the…read moresize of my living room. Ran by a father and son tag team, the copper kettle has the perfect small town jewel feel to it. I frequent here for breakfast as well as lunch anytime I'm in Headland. The experience at The CKD can be attributed to 3 main qualities: service, quality, and price. Service: You're not going to meet two kinder, dedicated men anywhere. These gentlemen take pride in their work as well as there community. If you are a regular, like me, they'll have your regular order on the grill before you make it in the door. These guys are good to their customers and kind to all people. Quality: All ingredients are fresh, meat and produce, from local farmers. Countless times I've been there as a local farmer brings fresh vegetables, bacon, ham, etc, and nothing beats a BLT with their smokehouse bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. These guys have mastered their craft too. Well prepared and cooked to perfection. Price: I don't know how these guys stay open. Just as an example, if you order a breakfast sandwich with Ham, egg, and cheese, you get at least two pieces of thick cut ham, usually more, for $2.75. They're like Oprah giving out BMWs. It's ridiculous. Lunch is just as cheap for lots of food. The only negative to The Copper Kettle Diner is the small staff. I've been disappointed to find them closed a few times because no one is available to run the store. This is not a regular issue, however. So do yourself a favor and drop in at the Copper Kettle Diner. Whether it be for a breakfast sandwich or for lunch, you will not be disappointed.

Our server was great but harried as she had to wait tables on both sides of the restaurant. We started with the trout dip, which was delicious. There was a long delay between appetizer and entrees, but again, busy! I had the snapper Ponchatrain, which was honestly one of the best fish preparations I've ever had! Blackened snapper on a bed of delicious grits with a topping of crab and an amazing sauce made for a spectacularly yummy dish. My husband had a disappointing experience with the country fried steak. The steak was overdone and the breading didn't stick to the steak. Just not at all satisfying. We will be back but will choose our entrees more carefully next time. The food is top notch, but pay careful attention to what you order and you'll be happy with your meal!

This is the single greatest culinary I've ever consumed sustenance at. The quality of the food alone was absolutely remarkable. Warm, inviting, mouth-watering, and savory all at once. This food alone made me open eyes and ponder my life and existence. Making me more grounded and humble. The staff at this establish was friendly and fast. They ensured peak service in all manners and regards. They made me feel heard, seen, and respected. They were ready, available, and reliable. The restaurant's decorum was remarkable and casual, while also being intriguing as if it had a million stories to tell you. I could not recommend this restaurant enough. read more

Stopped by on a morning trip to Florida to visit family for the holidays. There was a wait but we decided the 15 minutes would be worth it after looking over the unique menu items. After being seated we were promptly greeted by our waitress Laura who was very helpful giving recommendations and was very friendly and cheerful. We decided to go for the fried chicken and waffles which was outstanding! Our coffees stayed warm and full which is definitely a plus while traveling. The staff all seemed friendly and the food was excellent! We will be back on our next visit through Dothan!! read more

I have to give it 4 stars because the food tastes great if not salty (fries). We ordered the 'Hero' which I see now is not on the menu. I do not know if we received the All American Burger or Bacon, Mushroom, Swiss Burger. The one we thought had everything including Jalapenos on it and stood over 3" tall. It was great. This had bacon but there was NO tomato or peppers. We were there at 3:00 PM and thought it was closed. Will No Longer Order Any Burgers! Showed the wait staff my military ID and no discount. We normally come in earlier. We will do so again. read more

Metro diner is delicious every time I go. There is a small wait because there are so many people. To me a lot of people means it must be good (and it is!) There is also another small wait for your food- and if you're like me it seems like forever- but it is soo worth it. If you are traveling and your family can't compromise, try Metro Diner and you will be surprised. (In a good way!) read more

And I know for a fact I'm not the only person because me and three other groups of folks that came in to eat sat outside after a Sunday lunch service and discussed what a complete shit show you people put those poor waitresses through. Having dined here regularly I've never in my experience seen 9 staff in a single "small scale " dining room fumble without any leadership. It doesn't reflect poorly on them it reflects poorly on the people who made the bad decision. And. It. Shows. Even with the worst wait ive ever had the food was excellent, and the meal was given for free due to the numerous errors despite my offer to pay for it.
