Walton's Restaurant

Walton's is a country fish house, their BBQ and steaks are suppose to be good but we stick with the catfish. They advertise that they have the best hushpuppies in the the south and I'd argee.

They bring you out a basket of hushpuppies before the meal, all you want actually. You'll find 2 bottles of white stuff on the table, one of course to tartar sauce. Get the other one and put it on the puppies, it's some good stuff. A word of warning though, don't ask the waitress what the white stuff is, she'll look at you like you're a dumb ass and tell you "white sauce".

It was a 'fried' day for me. This is a small plate of fillets, plenty after all the hush puppies I'd just eaten.

The Tiger Hut, Rogersville, AL

Old timey drive-in, dive and ice cream. If you want a good-greasey hamburger, milk shake and onion rings, this is the place. It's about 30 minutes east of Florence and right on 72. I dare ya to order a large soft serve cone....

Rocking Chair Restaurant

On the south side of Tuscumbia, AL, the Rocking Chair has a pretty good plate lunch. Think 'Cracker Barrel', maybe not quite as good but half the price. The daily special is $4.99, other plate lunches are $5.99, you can't beat that. Serve your regular country vegetables and 4 or 5 different meats.

Rosie's Cantina

There are 2 loctions in Huntsville, this is the one on Memorial. Real good food, we had the chicken quesadillas (off the lunch menue), should have just split one. Chips & salsa were exellent, a little different than what we're used to. I didn't get the check out a beer but my wife gave the frozen margaritas the thumbs up. We'll be back to try this again.

The Original Oyster House

Fresh raw oysters and cold beer. Need I say more. The Original Oyster House is the place to go for raw oysters. Cocktail sauce comes with a side of horse radish, man, it's good.

There are 2 locations, one in Mobile (I've never been to that one) and one in Gulf Shores, on the west side of 59. You can't miss it, if you get to the beach, you've gone too far. During peak season be prepared to wait for a table, last time we waited for an hour and a half (at the bar) but it is worth it, all the food is good.

Keylime Pie, don't order it, it's terrible.

Yea, right, it's almost as good as the beer.

Burris Farm Market

Highway 59, Loxley, AL

On the west side of 59, just a few miles south of I-10.

Everything here you'd expect to find at a farm market. All types of fruits and vegetables, honey and jams plus salsa/relish, plants and yada, yada, yada. You get the idea, they got it here. We stopped one year to get some peaches or something and found that they had a bakery/ice cream shop in the back, now we make a point to stop anytime we're close. They have all types of home made bread, cobbler and ice cream. About the best milk shake I know of, they know that to make a chocolate shake, you start with vanilla ice cream. Most people think you use chocolate ice cream to make a chocolate shake, a good shake is vanilla with chocolate suryp.

Chocolate shake and cobbler with ice cream.

Mikee's Sea Food

"A place of Seafood" is the slogan, could be THE place for seafood. Great food, home-made salad dressing, sides include turnip greens, baked beans, new potaoes and corn nuggets. Small bar, always crowded, even when not so many people there, very small place. Will be a wait to eat during busy season. Laid back atmosphere, very casual and kinda loud. Some might say it's just above a "hole-in-the-wall", I'd have to agree and say that I'll be there everytime I'm in GS.
