Never heard of that BBQ joint. Where is it in Notasulga?

Speaking of Notasulga, you can't mention it without mentioning Elmer's. Best ribeye I've had at a restaurant in a long while. The buffet ain't bad for lunch and the fried shrimp are amazing too!

Alabama Biscuit at the end of that strip is pretty good as well.

If you are near a First Watch, check it out. VERY good breakfast fixins!

I know everyone says best burger is _____ but I have to give a shout out to The Ridge in Vestavia.

Small place on the 2nd floor of a strip mall in Vestavia. Kinda hard to find but Good Lawd are their burgers good. The Rebel Yell, a double patty with an egg and jalapeno bacon is my cheat-meal dream. Wash that down with a pint of draft cahaba single hop and I'm happy.

Twisted Root opened right across the street, apparently a chain out of texas that does burgers. They don't hold a candle to The Ridge. Mug shots isn't close. Saws has a decent burger but nothing near The Ridge.

Hilltop Seafood Restaurant in Gantt, Al. Best oysters, shrimp and crawfish!

OH Yeah! Had some crawfish there before I left, last week, and will be hitting them up for some more when I get back home next month!

Hilltop has an excellent meat and three at lunch as well, can't go wrong with the ribeye sammich either.

Sam's Grocery & Deli in Ragland, Alabama, of course. They have the best ground chuck burger, I have ever ate. El-Cazador Mexican Restaurant by the St. Clair County courthouse, is pretty dang good. Wednesday's at the Pell City Texaco, features a 16 oz. T-bone steak, with all the trimmings, for $7.99, really good and affordable.

Hayman has mentioned it but here is a list of the top bbq joints in bama. #1 jims bbq,hw 82 in billingsley. #2 jims bbq, hw 82 in billingsley. And coming in at #3 - jims bbq,hw 82 in billingsley. This place is the holy grail of bbq- nothing else even comes close,especially in chilton county. never mind the fries-its their onion rings you want. I promise you folks-if you like bbq you need this place on your bucket list. If you're an elephant or an eagle you'll like it in there.

i could go for one of those. Been a few years

Mildred's in Ardmore has a great lunch buffet and the banana pudding is close to "how grandma made it." I am not sure but I think they may have odd days and or hours they are open. It's worth a drive.

Marshall County
Backroads in Arab for breakfast. 209 3rd Ave NW, Arab, AL 35016
Their pancakes are good, but trust them when you order 2 and they suggest one due to the size. They have decent chocolate gravy. Some days the gravy is a little thick. Lunch specials are not bad. Prices are good. Closed on Sundays open Mon-Fri 6-2 and I think Sat is 6-11.

Hyatt Community store it is not far from Guntersville and or Albertville.
4143 Nixon Chapel Rd, Horton, AL 35980
Ita off the beaten path and the best kept secret in Marshall County in my opinion. I am not a local, but mix in with the crowd pretty good. Don't wear new overalls or the farmers might know you are not a local.
Meat and two lunch specials are outstanding and priced right. They post daily specials online. Desserts and breakfast are great. Almost all breakfast meat is grown locally.

Boaz Cafe
Near McDonald's
Great meat and 2 for lunch. Best peanut butter pie (sugar free is almost as good as the regular) and strawberry cobbler you will get in a restaurant.

The Louisiana Lagniappe in Orange Beach - one of my all time favorite restaurants. Everything the have is good - but start/try the Grouper Kevin - excellent! It is not cheap restaurant - nice atmosphere - great food!

Mary’s Pit Bque in Maysville Alabama,
simply meats smoked to perfection;
you’ll never forget their smoked chicken in
Alabama white sauce.

Dang, I hunt around Tuscaloosa and run into town to eat a few times a year. I was hoping to see some restaurants around there mentioned.

Donnies BBQ Corner in New Hope

Geronimo - Dreamland use to be really nice in T-town - I not there much anymore so hard to say now - go to buffet section down below and ask that question - u prob get lot of responses I would think If u single out Tuscaloosa

Uncle Micks Cajun Cafe/Market in Prattville is very good - lot of Cajun dishes made with love and they let you sample a lot of it before deciding - very good food

Big Mikes Steak House in Thomasville is very excellent Steakhouse - great ribeye - great filet. Ranked as one of top steak houses in Alabama
