Too many BBQ restaurants reheat their meat, and it tastes reheated. You can smell the meat smoking from the outside before you pull into the parking lot. You can certainly taste the freshness in the meat.I personally prefer my sauce and beans slightly sweeter, but both were good. The owner was friendly and attentive. You should try this place if you haven’t already.

Bar-B-Que Place

Reviewed By Diane R

While on vacation we always to try find a local place to eat and we were not disappointed with our selection. Great BBQ and wonderful employees. The jojos were awesome and the "special sauce" made in house was out of this world fantastic. We are actually planning another trip so we can dine here again.

I didn’t like the side salad, but the BLT & Chicken Fingers basket was good. The service was great! There is a bar and tv in this restaurant. The food was pretty good.

The Wild Bunch had lunch at The Strand today and enjoyed it very much. The burger was really good and the cola was mixed well. The onion rings were huge and good also. Nice little place for friends to have lunch.

Big Time Cafe

Reviewed By dwightlisadn

Each trip we make to the DeSoto State Park/Mentone area...Big Time Cafe is a definite MUST. Their burgers are UNFRICKIN REAL. Just a heads up...their sign inside says “they’re not a fast food establishment” and they’re not but we love the local environment and folks. I would dare 1 person to order their double meat burger. Expect to possibly wait on a table for seating but you won’t regret it. Heads up...Thursday’s are their Roast day and always crowded. It all looks delicious but we do the huuuuge burgers.

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By OldEagle48

We stopped here for lunch on our summer road trip and found the same food quality and good service that we have learn to expect at Cracker Barrel. The food was served hot and the server was attentive and friendly. When traveling I-59 through Alabama, there are plenty of places to eat at the Ft. Payne exit. We found that this Cracker Barrel is a good place to stop for lunch at Exit 218.

Happened to be downtown and remembered seeing it in the reviews. What a great little cafe! They have Greek, Italian and American dishes. The Greek dishes we had were some of the best we've had. Wish we could have been in town longer. Don't miss this place.

Sally's Smokin Butt BBQ

Was recommended before moving to town, and now it’s the go to place. Every meat is excellent, and the sides are all top notch. Fav is the chipotle slaw, with the brisket. For dessert the homemade banana pudding slays.

Santa Fe Cattle Co

Reviewed By RAutry

Visited with a party of 10 friends. We were cordially greeted and promptly seated. Our waiter was efficient and knowledgeable. We ordered diverse entrees including steak, salmon, poultry, and full dinner salads. The majority order was the 6 ounce petite filet and it was excellent. All seemed to enjoy their choices. I would certainly recommend the Sante Fe Cattle Co.
