Went here with family and it was packed; for good reason. The service was quick, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and plentiful. Everyone had more than they could finish. Great atmosphere in a laid back southern kinda way! Interesting note was that they had a map of Mexico with a heart over Zapopan (never heard of it let alone new it was a city in Western Mexico.

If you have plenty of time and enjoy getting bad service this is an excellent place to eat. While the food was very tasty, it took forever to get service and it was only after asking for the manager did things get done
For starters the waiter was too lazy to walk to each end of the table and give drink refills rather he demanded we pass our glasses and cups to one end so he could stand in place and refill the drinks
He never offered any bread during our extended wait for our food. He acted like we were a bother to him and messing up his day.
When food came out incorrectly he did not seem to care

We turned off of the interstate to avoid traffic and found this gem! The BBQ was fabulous, and the sandwiches were huge! The ladies working there were friendly, as well. It is worth the detour from the interstate!

Zaxby's is always the place to go following the grandsons' ball games. Next to Mimi's home cooked fried chicken is Zaxby's they say! It is so fresh, hot, tasty and yummy!! Zaxby's always gets a big after game cheer! Go Zaxby's, you're the best!!!
5. Corbin Farms Winery
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 35 reviews
Set on sprawling farmland, Corbin Farms Winery crafts a diverse selection of wine using East & West Coast vinifera and local Alabama fruits and muscadines. Daily tours sneak groups behind the scenes of the winemaking process, which yields riesling piqued with tropical fruits and pinot grigio that's as lively as a 30-piece kazoo orchestra. A charming tasting room recalls a sunny Italian café, with racks of wine and bistro tables ideal for gathering over a bite of deli fare and desserts. On warm days, the spacious patio is open for enjoyment, providing views of surrounding vineyard and breezes with notes of black currant, muscadines and citrus.

We bought a Groupon for this winery and it was well worth it! It included lunch and the tasting. When we arrived we were greeted by a young lady. She asked us to have a seat while she finished the tastings that she started.
When it was our turn she informed us that they young man with her was training. So she basically was explaining everything to us about the wines. Maybe this is normal but we thought it was very informative and enjoyed hearing all the details on the wines.
I loved a lot of the wines. Even bought a glass to enjoy with my lunch. The food was ok but seriously they are a winery 1st and restaurant 2nd.
The wine prices were very reasonable, the staff was very kind, & I loved the little items they sell.
6. Redzone Sports Grill
Overall Ratings
4 based on 9 reviews
Reviewed By Kevin B - Acworth, United States
Went for dinner on a Wednesday night. Redzone is more of a country grill with plenty of TV's. Apps, salads, wings, sandwiches and a few entrees. The steak was recommended over the wings so I got the Ribeye steak, baked potato and salad (large potato and salad). I must say there was no "wow" factor. The steak was seasoned deliciously, but the cut of meat was poor (fatty). Since it was slow there was no atmosphere to compensate for the average meal. The positive was the server was great and the beer was cold!

This place is located in a unique little trailer which sits to the side of the road. Initially I thought the food would be okay but boy was I pleasantly surprised!!! The service was GREAT! Appears to be family owned.And the food was AWESOME! I ordered ribs and fries with a side of homemade poundcake! The ribs were tender and well seasoned. The cake was moist and filling. My son had the pulled pork sandwhich. He rated his sandwhich a 20 on a scale of one to ten. Will definitely return to this spot.

I think Bojangle's chicken is the best of all the chicken franchises. Always hot and crisp chicken with just a hint of heat in the light breading. Chicken crisp on outside but very juicy inside. The biscuits are hot and fluffy. Self serve soda station and fast friendly service. So glad we came this way.

My daughter and I ate lunch during the week at Red Zone. We were the only customers. I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich at $12.99. My daughter ordered the fried pickle appetizer and wings. The food was very good. Service was nice. The food was served quickly, which would be a benefit for those on their lunch hour. I wish they had a lunch menu. The prices are a bit high.
