Sheffield is a city in Colbert County, Alabama, United States, and is included in the Shoals metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 9,039. Sheffield is the birthplace of "country-soul pioneer" and songwriter Arthur Alexander, French horn player Willie Ruff, notable attorney, actor, former senator and presidential contender Fred Thompson, Watergate committee U.S. Senator Howell Heflin and U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, whose father was working in nearby Athens when he was born. It sometimes is referred to as "the City of Senators" due to the births of Heflin, McConnell and Thompson within its borders. Col. Harland Sanders worked in the Sheffield depot for Southern Railway in the 1900s. It is also home to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where many popular 20th century musicians recorded their work, including Alexander and Ruff. It is the site of historic Helen Keller Hospital, formerly known as Colbert County Hospital and originally constructed in 1921. It was changed to Helen Keller Hospital in 1979, and Keller's birthplace Ivy Green is located less than one mile southwest of the hospital in adjacent Tuscumbia.

If you want to eat here check their hours. They are only for a few hours over lunch and only a few days a week. The restaurant has a nice setting by a park and the service was good. The menu is limited and specials change every day.My wife had the pear, walnut, chicken salad. It was very good though the chicken lacked flavor and a bit "soggy". Other wise a very good salad with lot pecans (out of walnuts today) and blu cheese.I had the chicken fried steak special and though nothing special it was good. The best part was the home fry casserole...excellent.Bring cash as they do not accept checks or credit/debit cardsWe would come back again re

We were two for lunch and were satisfied with what we had. Although the menu is limited, we do plan to return and try some breakfast items and also some of the lunch items. All the staff were especially friendly as were the other patrons. There's some serious Street Construction in the area so the place is a little hard to find. The only downside were the fries. They weren't cooked thoroughly and the grease was a little sketchy-but still edible.

Great views of the river & cliffs near McFarland Park. You can park you car dock your boat & walk over to enjoy. Itâs a good place for friends & families. The food is subpar... bar food & fried fish mostly. I lived on the beach in SC where we always had fresh fish, so my standards are pretty high for seafood dishes, so maybe I shouldnât judge too harshly. Itâs a decent place, & youâll have a nice time. Can be a wait on weekends in season.

Maybe you have to be a local to appreciate Garden Café. We stopped for lunch based on the wonderful reviews. The set lunch menu had four entrée choices, which came with three sides and bread. The day we went, the entrées were fried chicken breast, fried chicken livers, hamburger casserole and roast pork (which kind of looked like pulled pork rather than slices of pork). They also had spaghetti on the menu. They had about ten sides from which to choose, most of which were the kind of food you would get at a church supper or fundraiser: congealed salad (some kind of gelatin dish), creamed corn, green beans, pinto beans, mac and cheese, etc. We had the creamed corn, mashed potatoes and gravy and fried okra and corn bread. Everything came out really fast, which tells me it's sitting in the back waiting to be dished up. I would think a southern restaurant would make corn bread like nobodyâs business, but this was flat, overbaked and dry. The okra really tasted like it was formerly frozen. The creamed corn could have been from a can. You get the idea. It was cheap and Iâll give Garden Café that. But I donât think youâre going to get good, Southern cooking here. I thought about trying the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, after some thought, I suspected the frosting would be Betty Crockerâs from a can. Service was perfunctory.

You know the pressure of bringing home supper when you are the out-of-towner... ? Bunyanâs BBQ did the trick!!! You will be pleased with the pork ... the awesome chicken ... and the slaw, which is actually great the second day. The service is excellent, too.

Stayed in town for one night on business. Court Street has a number of unique restaurants including this one. A variety of beef, seafood and chicken on the menu. City Hardware is situated in a rustic setting, an old building with exposed brick and pipes. Very comfortable and friendly staff. We had a great waitress- Jessie. Shrimp and grits are very good.

Had a marvelous lunch here...grilled romaine and steak salad, fried okra app. Okra was just crunchy enough...okra was full of flavor. Salad was just enough and super fresh.,.not just a pile of greens dumped on a plate. Just enough blue cheese dressing to enhance the flavor of the salad, not mask it. Meat was grilled to order and grilled to perfection.This was my first time in Florence. Spend the time and walk around. Itâs charming.

The Boiler Room sits in the basement of the Sticklin hotel. It's a really fun spot. There's a great bar, a performance stage, several dining tables, four bowling alleys and a small arcade-like area with ski-ball, a personal favorite. We had a great evening drinking local beer and listening to a local band and then bowling. The servers were great, but the food did not arrive hot. It comes from the upstairs kitchens of Big Bad Breakfast and maybe sits up there a bit too long. We did a get hot replacement. The bowling seemed a bit pricey at $30 an hour plus $3 for each shoe rental, but we had a really fun night.Thank you so much for your review! We love hearing about our guest's visits and will use your feedback to improve the experience we provide.
