Our S.W.A.T. Team (Seniors With A Testimony) from Blooming Grove Baptist Church in Jasper, AL ate lunch here. There was 14 of us... a week before Christmas! There were several other large groups here at the same time. Even with our waitress being busy - she was very attentive. Our drink glasses were always topped off without any of us needing to ask.
The building holds such history! As you walk to be seated you will pass so many interesting things! Take a bit and take it all in!
With so many of us ordering food - I believe we had a really good idea of the dishes offered. Steak, hamburger steak, coconut chicken, the island chicken, Mahi Mahi and more! Side dishes of tossed salad, steamed broccoli, sweet potato fries, sweet potato casserole, baked potato and more. Everyone was impressed with their meal. Meats were seasoned and had the desired cook to each one. All side dishes were excellent.
Each area was decorated with Christmas festivity! The staff commented that they've been very busy this season. Even on days they are closed to the public - private groups had Christmas parties! I can understand why! Between the atmosphere and Christmas decor to the wonderful staff and excellent food this definitely would be a desired venue! This restaurant is great for groups -- or for date night!

The Bourbon Brown Sugar Ribeye is where it's at! Such flavor. We came while a live musician was playing which gave great atmosphere. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. Looking forward to being back in the area so we can dine again.
