    Great spot for a bite in Cullman. Felt like more of a hangout spot than a restaurant as it's pretty small inside. Atmosphere was very laid back and friendly. Came with a large group and service appeared to be pretty efficient. I ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes and a side of brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked to my liking, the brussel sprouts were crispy and sweet, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and light. I also ordered an old fashioned which came out very good. Overall, just a great atmosphere and a restaurant worth recognition in the Cullman area.

    Trip #2 to The National. Once again, flavor, service and atmosphere were spot on. Highly recommend this hidden gem!!

    Smash burger
    Stacy I.

    This was our first visit and I have to say, we were impressed. My husband got the special smash burger, it had a fried egg, bacon jam, garlic aioli and came with fries. I had to steal a few fries, they were so good!! I had the shrimp and grits! They were delicious, my only suggestion would be to add a little Cajun sausage in the dish with the shrimp! For dessert we ordered the duchess donut bread pudding! It was just enough for the both of us to share! The service was excellent as well! We really enjoyed our meal and decided we need to go weekly now to try everything on the menu!

    Smoked bone-in pork chop

    I swear this "pork chop" tastes and looks striking like a ham, and the deep fried Brussels are scary. But I love the service and the bar. P.S. The creme brule was good, the bartender said they make the crème in house.

    Margarita flat bread (one piece already tested )

    What a nice little dining spot! Decor was inviting and comfortable. Our server was super attentive-our drinks never went dry. The iced tea was perfect. Food was fresh and delicious!

    Loved this restaurant! The food was amazing! The atmosphere kinda fancy, but not arrogant. I mean they have white tablecloths, but the staff dress casual. Very much my type of place. I have to go back soon to try more!

    Cullman is sort of known for baked goods so I wanted to stop and get a few pastries before we…read moreheaded home. This place had good reviews and was next door to a coffee shop, so double win! Very cute little bakery inside. Nice places to sit, cute old timey knickknacks and baking relics -- my mom got a huge kick out of the old KitchenAid mixers. Even though it was later in the afternoon, they had a decent selection of desserts. A friendly employee greeted us immediately and was helpful with checkout and bagging. I chose a smaller orange roll based on the recommendation of lots of reviewers, as well as something a bit more unique to me: a sweet potato and pecan muffin. Somewhat unusual combination that sounded super good! I split my treats with husband later that evening. The orange roll was solid -- the soft and yeasty roll was the best part -- though for me the orange glaze was a little too sweet. That's how I usually feel about orange rolls though so if you really love them you'll probably like this one! The muffin remained remarkably moist and the pecans were so nice and toasty on top. It was very subtly sweet and had lots of nice spices. Would love to try more muffins from here! Thanks for the yummy treats! Definitely hope to return someday to try the pie bars, strata, and more.

She appeared to be handling the whole front by herself, but made us feel like we were the only ones there. Decor is like that of a "RoadHouse" feel. Apparently they have live music on a posted schedule. Looked like that would be a fun time to visit. Options were standard southern style meat and three options or menu choices. Wife had vegetable plate, I had the pulled pork plate. Bar-B-Que was tender and flavorful. Not bad for a non specialist Bar-B-Que restaurant. 2 flavors of sauce on the table, a sweet and spicy sauce, either would be an excellent choice. There were only 2 meat options offered, don't know if that's the norm, or we were there so late after lunch they had sold out of other options. Will definitely be back there again. I would like to try and catch one evening with the live music is scheduled.

My wife sat down and I went up to the counter and waited, waited, waited, waited. I could see a gentleman cooking 2 grills of hamburgers and pulling them off the grill. He also had a basket full of chicken tenders he was pulling out of the grease. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE!!! They obviously do not cook your food to order. I waited a full 8 1/2 minutes at the counter, got my wife and we left. Pathetic!! WE WILL NOT BE BACK! I'll get my ice cream from Jack's moving forward

The service was also really good. My second experience prompted me to try a burger on a future visit. Saturday night at 9:00 pm my partner and I went to this location to try a burger and of course ice cream. We ordered the Two Cheese Deluxe Signature Stackburger, a dipped cone and also a caramel sunday. The service was very prompt and the dining area was clean considering the restaurant was full of patrons. The burger was excellent. Prepared to perfection and had a great taste. The ice cream as usual was very good. The bathroom however was a disaster. The trash was filled to overflowing, there was paper strewn all over the floor and the toilet paper was OUT! There was feces on the wall near the Men's toilet. This place is a health hazard and it makes me question the cleanliness of the kitchen and the restaurants sanitation standards. Unfortunately I'll NEVER return. The bathroom was vile. Food 4 Ice Cream 4.5 Service 5 Value 3 Restaurant Cleanliness 4 Bathroom condition negative 5 (disgusting)
