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 havenât already.

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.

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.

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 âtheyâre not a fast food establishmentâ and theyâre 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 wonât regret it. Heads up...Thursdayâs are their Roast day and always crowded. It all looks delicious but we do the huuuuge burgers.

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.

We are a quaint, locally owned business. We provide dine-in, take out, delivery (for limited area) and catering service. Come in as a customer, but leave as a friend.

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.

Was recommended before moving to town, and now itâs 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.

Traveling with my dog for the holiday looking for something not fast food. Called in an order for pickup. Upon arrival I noticed an outdoor seating area, which I was allowed to use and my dog could join me. My raspberry chicken salad was very good!

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.
