Outstanding!!! Don’t just drive-by stop and give this place a try. Portions are plentiful, the service is wonderful, and the bread pudding will make your tongue slap your brains out. Testimonial written by Scott on this site.

On 2/25/2026 Daniel had this to say:
What an unexpected surprised nestled on the side of the road. The typical “ don’t trust a book by its cover ” kind of place. Retro atmosphere with inside and outside seating. We ordered the special for that day, popcorn shrimp poboy and it did not disappoint!! The comeback sauce was spot on for flavor and made every bite delicious. Sweet tea for her and an Arnold Palmer for myself and both cold and delish. We met the owners and they were both very personable and shared with us their story and how they both came to be in South Alabama . So if you’re looking for a new place to dine, give this place a try, I think you’ll be very happy you did .
