A friend and I went to Scottsboro for an overnight trip so we got here. It was about dinner time. I found Pappy's place on a yelp review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was definitely your hole in the wall type place maybe they was five tables in there if that it was very small and quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was right by the train track so you could hear the train when it came by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little hot in there, but we pushed through[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I got the classic cheeseburger and french fries, which were delicious and my friend got the patty melt which was also delicious she said [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was a little small, probably needed an upgrade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in, looked like everyone turned around to see if they knew us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely a place. I would stop at again and get dessert. Their desserts looked really good, but we were so full. We just couldn't have anything else. The owners were very sweet and kind of gave us some recommendations of places to go in the area.

Chicken tenders, fried okra, ranch, and extremely oily fries

3.5/5 -- very close to a 4 but just not quite there for me. I actually came here for a late lunch after working nearby on Valentine's Day. It's sort of downtown Scottsboro, sort of not; it's down a side street so not super visible as you're driving along. Parking, for me, was pretty challenging. There are only a couple spots in front of the restaurant itself, and it wasn't clear whether it was okay to park in front of the other businesses (no spots parked with paint) and there was a decent amount of glass / other debris on the ground nearby. So I made the block and parked in a public lot a few streets away and hoofed it over there. The interior part of the restaurant is quite small; I'd be surprised if more than 15-20 people could eat inside at a given time. They do seem to have a patio out back that I'm sure could accommodate more people. I'd probably have preferred to have eaten out there, but I didn't ask and it wasn't offered; instead, I got a two-seater booth in the back of the restaurant, which was fine. There was one other person eating and a few people came in and out for takeout, but it was mostly quiet. Service was pleasant and efficient. Just one girl doing all the work but she managed just fine both waiting tables and taking payments. She even brought me a glass of tea to go for the road. I ordered a chicken tender lunch, which came with two sides. I ordered fries and the vegetable of the day, but they were out of that. They were also out of cornbread, which was my second choice. So I went full-fried-Monty and got fried okra. My food came out in the appropriate amount of time (especially since it was cooked fresh). One of my tenders had a tear in it and the waitress explained it was because the chef wanted to be sure they were cooked completely. I appreciated that. The food was fine! The tenders were cooked nicely and were HUGE! The portions were quite generous and I was able to take some home. The batter had a sort of fish-fry batter flavor to it, which is fine but not my favorite on chicken. The okra was probably the best thing. Not over breaded, very crispy, still tender and green and snappy on the inside. I also enjoyed the clearly house made ranch. Perfect for tenders, fries, and even a piece of okra or two...hehe. The biggest let down was by far the fries. They were absolutely glittering with grease, and the grease never seemed to drain off them, either. They did somehow retain some crispness -- puzzling, given the sheer quantity of grease -- but every bite was extremely oily. It's unusual for me to not finish fries, but I didn't finish these. It sounds like from other reviews burgers and shakes are the thing to get here; I just wasn't feeling it that particular day. There's clearly great potential here so I'd be happy to return and give those a try some day.

Delicious food, amazing family culture and AWESOME customer service!! I would Recommend this place to everyone!! If you are looking for a filling and delicious meal you have to come here!!!

Salted Caramel Milkshake
Brandy D.

Small little spot with an outdoor seating area as well. The ladies were really nice. They have amazing milkshakes and desserts! I also ordered the fries with bbq pork on them. The bbq pork was sweet and very tender but way to smokey tasty for me.

Banana Split

So good! The spicy burger was great and the spicy ranch was also such a great sauce. The fries were hot and crispy and tasted great.

Country fried steak, fried okra and macaroni and cheese.
Tracy T.

This was some of the best food I have ever had. Cooked fresh, so good. We started with the fried cheese curds. Large portion, and so good. The. I had the country fried steak, with Mac and cheese and fried okra. So so good. The gravy was to die for, the steak was tender with a crunchy fried outside, and again freshly made with large portions. My friend had the grilled chicken and she was very pleased as well.

Homemade Roasted Banana Ice cream with homemade peanut butter sauce

100/10 recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and down to earth people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amazing food and service. Everything is made fresh, and ice cream is homemade. Dessert was the best I've ever had.

I drove out of my way to try this place out and I can't say I was disappointed! I love visiting…read morerestaurants off the beaten path. :) About 10 minutes north of Scottsboro, this little place feels like home when you step inside. Honestly, it sort of looks like home from the outside, too! There's a sweet memorial for a dog who has passed near the front door, honoring their favorite spot, which I thought was precious. Even though I popped in only like 35 minutes til close, I was welcomed warmly and not rushed. Their menu has American classics like hamburgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, hot dogs, onion rings, fries, etc. It seems like burgers are the main attraction here, though, so I got their take on a mushroom and Swiss burger (my fav) and some French fries. The sweet tea I had to drink was perfectly refreshing and quite sweet, just the way I like it. I do remember thinking the total was a touch high for a single patty, fairly thin burger, but it is what it is. At least it was clearly fresh and high quality, which is much more than you can say for fast food. Like I said, food was cooked fresh but still came out to me in a timely manner. Heck, the fries were still so hot I burned my mouth a teeny bit! I was just trying to eat and get out of their hair before closing, so my bad there haha. Frozen-fried crinkle cuts but they were nice and crispy. My biggest complaint about the whole experience was the salt was sort of just thrown on them in a pile at the top. So a few fries were extremelyyyyy salty and others not at all. The burger was, as expected, the star here! Cooked about medium-well, it was still plenty juicy despite the relative thinness of the patty. The mushrooms and Swiss cheese were so buttery and melty together. They add bacon to their mushroom and Swiss and honestly I could take it or leave it. Some of it wasn't as crispy as I prefer, and I think the mushrooms add the extra savory punch so bacon makes it a little heavy, but I'm honestly nit picking here. It was a very yummy burger. I very much enjoyed myself. This is the kind of spot my folks would love, so I hope to bring them back in the future, and also to come try the delightful-sounding Moon Pie banana pudding!

Using the phrase, "Off of the beaten path", is putting it mildly. However, it's worth the drive…read more You can't it. It's the only place at the crossroads. It's an old gas station and store. My wife and I were out checking out a farmers market and decided to take the advice from a friend. The owners are as friendly as the food is good. We both had a mushroom Swiss cheese burger with a side of sweet potato fries. Unbelievably good! The place is mostly frequented by the locals, but they were very welcoming to two strangers.

On our way from Chicago to the Florida Keys, we stopped at this little local place. What a…read morepleasant surprise J's Hole in the Wall turned out to be. As you walk in the door, you are welcomed in to a cozy little space with 6-8 tables. The room is covered from floor to ceiling in wood paneling and makes for a very warm and homey feeling. From a cleanliness standpoint, you could eat off the floor. The menu was broad and contained all sorts of Southern favorites, ranging from BBQ pork, to smoked chicken, to seafood, to burgers, to hotdogs. All of the items were extremely reasonably priced with large sandwiches around $4.50, full dinner plates for around $8.50, and kids meals for around $3.50. As seafood seemed to be their specialty, I went with the fried catfish plate. It came with two sides, so I chose fried okra and slaw. I also received 4 hush puppies as part of my meal as well. The meal came with 5 large strips of fresh catfish, masterfully breaded in a light cornmeal batter and perfectly fried. Catfish can often have an overpowering flavor, but this catfish was incredibly mild. The fried okra, hush puppies, and slaw were delectable and well portioned. Couple that with a legit sweet tea and I was all in $8.95. My wife had a smoked chicken sandwich that was truly unique. Normally smoked chicken is of the shredded variety; this was whole slices of chicken breast. The chicken had a great taste and was served with a unique hot sauce that perfectly complimented the chicken and slaw that was served on top of the sandwich. Total - $4.50. In summary, J's Hole in the Wall was a great choice. They served delicious food at a great value with a smile. You could tell this was a locals' place as almost everyone there seemed to be a regular. If you are on I-24 passing between Nashville and Chattanooga, this place is worth a short detour!

Sort of in the middle of nowhere. I ordered fish and chips. Fair price. Good portion. Tasty…read morefood. So there is a window you order at and then walk around and enter another place to sit down. They bring your food there when ready.
