So far I have ate here twice and everything was amazing. The chicken tenders & smashed potatoes are always cooked to perfection! I was referred to this place by my sister who is a big critic, but she loves it. I also have purchased two cookies from here that are huge one was the Heath bar cookie and another cookie was coconut white chocolate both were delicious. The service is great as well. They always know what the best item is on the menu or what a person may want to try that day if you ask, the atmosphere is nice too it's really clean and organized. They aren't running around confused and they seem to know what they're doing and the food is hot and fresh. read more

The service at this restaurant is fantastic. The food is a bit pricey but the salads are awesome. For an exceptionally small town in Alabama, this restaurant serves the community in so many ways - even a huge party area. The menu is varied . There are weekly "special" menus along with the usual popular items. The food is excellent as well. But the service is great! "" read more

I had the best fried pork chops on a Tuesday! Also great service! It is always clean and they have added a nice area outside to enjoy day or night read more

We usually always get our dinner to go. The food is always great. They have the best BLT and Club that you have ever had. Steak and baked potato is also stellar. read more

This place is the best! I do mean THE BEST! I could eat here every day... you cant go wrong!

I like the place. Sunday lunch is a bit of a gamble for seating. So be prepared for the crowd if you're doing an after church thing. Even so the service is quick polite and as helpful as possible. The food is great! Esp for being quick. Will definitely go back but probably on a weekday. read more

The Thursday Turkey & Dressing is awesome. Mac & Cheese is delicious. Haven't yet tried the other daily specials yet, but I'm sure they are just as good. read more

Was referred here by some friends and so glad we decided to stop in. It isn't a sit down restaurant, but you order at the counter. Don't let that turn you away. Food was delicious. I ordered their shrimp & grits which was one of the best I have had. My husband ordered the 1220 burger and didn't leave a crumb on the plate. On the way out we tried their freshly baked cookies, peanut butter and chocolate and which chocolate macadamia. They were crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Would come back here and try out more of their menu. read more

This place is amazing. Me and my wife stopped in for lunch and it was great. It was a little busy because it is Sunday but even with how many people were there the service was quick and nice. Our food was absolutely delicious and fresh. I had a burger and it was one of the best I ever had. Will be coming back. read more

Man. I can see this place as a growing chain of great food and well trained staff. The Bacon Burger last night and the Chicken Salad sandwich with a side salad for lunch today, this place has hit it out of the park. "Line order" was fast and efficient and the wait staff was prompt and courteous (like out of the Chick-fil-A playbook courteous). Everything out of the back was fresh and home made and the place is as clean as clean can be. I see this place not only making it, I see them excelling. read more

I have been going here since they opened and the owner and employees are always polite, the atmosphere is pleasing. I have ordered the same thing for years and the last several trips my order has been different every single time. Hopefully they get this figured out. I'll be taking a break for now as it's not cheap and I do expect to get what I order. Especially when it's always been great and just recently has been non consistent. The food can be really good as long as they don't mush things together in the to go orders as they do tend to do. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant at least a dozen times and every time the food is consistently delicious. I've tried something new every time and I'm always happy. The servers and owner are always so kind and helpful. Highly recommended! read more

1/2 sandwich and soup. Very tasty! The soup could have been hotter (was luke warm) and I would have rated 5 stars. The fresh baked cookie was delicious!! 12/18/17... updated to 5 stars on my return trip months later. Got the soup and sandwich combo and the soup of the day (chicken & rice) was delicious and hot! The half turkey was tasty--love the fresh bread! The cookie was even better than I remember; especially since the graciously warmed for me on my request! A gem in Tallassee! read more

I am a truck driver and drove thru town and stumbled upon this place. The food was much better than expected for a nothing town like this. But the portions were a little smaller than expected. read more

The food is nice and the portions are good but don't expect the friendliest of employees. The special menu for the day is written in chalk on a blackboard on a stand that you can miss that's off to the side. The coleslaw is excellent. The prices are above average. Also you better know exactly what you want when you get to the order point because this employee is either overworked or has just lost patience with her job. read more

Best restaurant in tallassee they have great food a very nice staff and a clean environment the 1220 burger is huge and one of the best burgers I've had the club is another great sandwich the Ruben is perfect and don't forget the pasta salad if you're traveling through little old tallassee for some reason you should try 1220 you want be disappointed read more

OMG! Best breakfast I have had in a long, long time. I never take home a doggie bag from breakfast but I am today. The Western Omelette was stuffed full of filling and flavor. Cheese grits were just right. The hash brown casserole is to die for. Super cheesy and packed full of flavor! Worth a drive from anywhere! read more

Every time I come home for the holidays this place is a must to visit! The atmosphere is wonderful! So cozy and inviting.

This is a pretty fabulous little small town café. It's very similar to a Panera Bread but definitely better. Loved the salad and sandwich that I got. I know it's a favorite among the locals - especially those in my family. We'll definitely be going there again next time we visit. read more

On our last full day of a week at a cabin at Lake Martin, we rolled south to Tallassee to have lunch at the 1220 Café. The place is larger than it looks from the outside, although you'll likely not be near a window. It is clean from the front to the bathrooms. Order at the counter and they'll give you a numbered card to display at your table, then they'll deliver your food when it's ready. I had a Reuben, with fries. The sandwich was better than average, but not exemplary. It should have been toasted/grilled better and was just barely warm...the strong-tasting cheese wasn't melted. Self-serve Coke products, which is always a good thing. Forks, spoons, straws, and ketchup are also "grab your own" at the back of the eatery. I'd definitely return, as there are hardly any decent places to eat in Tallassee that we could find. I'll try a burger next time and hope that it is hotter than the sandwich. read more

The food is amazing! However, one Male worker who was preparing our custard and food did not wear a mask at all. I felt this endangered the lives of all in the restaurant. Also they did not have chocolate custard. Every other worker wore a mask except for this Male worker, not following CDC guidelines. Once again good food just some safety protocols need to be addressed. read more

I'm from New Orleans, so I know I need to adjust my food expectations when I'm in a small town. However, this place really did a great job. Plentiful, fresh salads. Yummy sandwiches. Decadent cookies. FAST takeout on a Saturday night. We were very pleased! read more

Decent cafe in Tallassee that's consistent and always clean! No thrills and specials recommended.

Good comfort food. Nothing bad, nothing fabulous. Friendly fast service, very clean. Best sandwiches & breakfasts in the Tallassee area, definitely. read more

Fantastic! First class food and service. The perfect mix of southern charm, cuisine and values!

Beautiful. I pass through Tallassee all the time during the cotton ginning season in my job for the USDA. Have stayed in the motel across the street many times, have eaten at the Hardee's next door. Always saw your place but never stopped in thinking, 'gotta hurry, gotta hurry.' So, after getting stuck on the other side of the bridge because of a parade the other day, and as a result the McDonald's being crowded when I finally got across, I went on up the road thinking...Hardees. Saw your remodeled front and available parking and pulled in. What a surprise. Beautiful inside, and expansive. The food and selection was excellent. I will be back, and bring people. Reviewed my review and it says I am from San Francisco. Don't know where that came from. No no folks, I live in Helena, AL. Looked at your '42 photos,' and I feel you need to add more photos of your excellent decor and seating. read more

This is a nice gem in a small town that does not normally get this type of food. Many on the small town Restaurants are buffet style Restaurants with greasy fried foods and other food items that sit under a heat lamp, sometimes for hours. It is not the fault of the patrons, it is just a lack of choices. This place give the variety and clean tasting food that people deserve. The staff is all nice and courteous and will make you feel like you are home eating with mom and dad. I know when I come back into town that I will stop back in for more choices on their menu. Please try these local restaurants to make sure they stay in business because this type of unique establishment builds the character of the town. read more

An Oasis of good food in this quiet town. It's friendly and personal deli style ordering system with numbered booths paired with quality food prepared perfect is a welcoming change in pace for the area. The price is slightly above average but minuscule compared to the hike in quality comparatively. Bottom Line. If you're in Tallassee Alabama and hungry. This is the place you should eat. And try their oatmeal raisins cookie. Or any cookie really. Don't let people see you with it or they will ask you for some. You would be surprised at how quickly that situation can escalate, when they realize the seriousness of the situation. read more

Omg..good to the last bite. Amazing food. Never had turnip green casserole but oh so yummy! Definitely coming back.

This place was amazing. The location is minute off the interstate and near the facility we were visiting. The establishment is really clean and many selections. I had the New Orleans burger. The taste was great. I never had a better burger. I will have a tough time finding one to top It off but will keep looking!!! Service was great and the staff was very attentive to the groups need. There is plenty of partying. There is plenty of seating. We plan to continue to visit this location for the reminder of our trip for lunch. read more

Staff was friendly and service was good. The food on the other hand not so good. Do not order the Reuben , the worst Reuben I have ever had.
