    Brisket Sandwich and cornbread salad!

    One of the absolute best kept secrets in the shoals. We have never ordered anything we didn't care for. From seafood, steaks and desserts they do a great job

    Food was amazing i had the saltimbocca and a lobster tail and my fiancé had the the mixed grill, my…read moresister had the new york strip with a lobster tail. The swordfish and lobster were amazing !! Chicken was juicy too. my sisters both had dessert they were beautiful and pretty tasty i'd say.

    More like 3-6-oh no…read more What went wrong? 1. Made reservations for 7 pm, hoping to enjoy a little of the scenery (you know, a spinning restaurant up in the cloud's whole vibe?). Arrived at hostess stand at 6:55. Told our table was being prepared and we could wait there at the entrance or go in the bar. We chose to go to the bar. Ordered drinks. Waited. And waited. I went back to the hostess stand where the manager was now standing and asked how our reservation was coming, as I watched the last bit of color slip from the sky. "Just a few more moments...we're setting your table up." Seated us at 7:17. It was completely dark outside. Nothing to see. And the kicker? The restaurant was not full. There were available tables. The way they kept telling us they were getting our table ready, one would think they had a box from ikea back there they were assembling. 2. When I made the reservation, it asked "are you celebrating anything special?" Yes. A birthday! My daughter's 22nd. And we've come to this resort and this restaurant for a fun girls getaway. Did you do anything to mark the occasion? Did the host or server comment? No. Was a piece of cake offered? No. Did we ourselves have to ask to see a dessert menu? That happened. 3. The server asked if this was our first time visiting the restaurant. "It is," I replied, looking out at the dark expanse and seeing my reflection. Did she offer any fun facts about this unique experience? The history? How fast it spins? How long it takes to make a full revolution? Squat. Did she walk us through the menu? No. She mumbled through the catch of the day and a steak. That was it. 4. Ordered. Sitting there waiting on our food and noticing everyone else had bread baskets on their table. Flagged our server down. "Could we get some bread?" "Oh...huh...they should have brought you some. Yeah, I'll get that." 3-5 minutes later, she returned with an assortment of bread and crackers and a dish of butter. Honestly, that was maybe the best part of the meal. 5. Because we were miraculously still in a celebratory mood and wanted dessert, we asked for a dessert menu. Ordered 2 items which came boxed up and in a bag. We had asked for cutlery as we were hotel guests and didn't want to get back to the room and eat like hobos. As we were walking out, I saw we didn't have the requested cutlery and stopped at the hostess stand. 6. Two aloof hostess girls and the manager were there. To the manager, I asked "could you please get me the cutlery I requested but was not given?" He went in the back. Then Twiddle Dee smiled and asked "how was everything?" Sis, word of advice. Don't ask questions for which you're not prepared for the answer. "Not good. Not good at all." She just looked at me. I continued. "We waited 20 minutes to be seated, missed seeing the view, service was lackluster...and do y'all not do anything for birthdays?" Then she told me about a birthday package where a guest can indicate they're celebrating a birthday, pay an extra fee, and get some piece of cake and fanfare. The manager returned with our cutlery. I pointed out to him that Dee needs to stop asking people how their meals were and then not know what to do with the answers. But it was apparent he was just as ill-versed. His response was "I'm sorry. Who was your server?" I don't know and honestly, what difference does it make now? The kicker? The dessert I ordered was crème brûlée. One of my favorites (when done well). But not easily transported. Because it was most likely prepared in a ramekin they didn't want to part with, they dumped it into a take out container. Upside down, rumpled. When I opened the box, it looked like someone had already eaten it. Perfect ending to this dumpster fire of a night. Do better.

    We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid…read morelittle spot for country cooking. The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better. Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread. Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable. As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges. Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.

    Near FAME studio, so I stopped in for a quick bite. The roast chicken was extremely tasty and the…read moreturnip greens were good, but I had better in the area. The service was nice and answered my annoying questions with a smile. The ambiance is extremely simple, but good with a very plain menu and straightforward offerings, including buttermilk pie for dessert (maybe another time).
