I'm playing catch up on reviews…read more I've been to a lot of places the last few months, checked in so I can review it, but I'm on the road so often that it's hard to get the reviews written. I have a long back log I need to catch up on and I still have reviews from my cross country trip to Oregon that I still need to write, and that was back in December! I'm trying... A few months ago, I found myself out on Lott Road, and decided to scratch a long overdue itch by visiting Highway 217 Cafe and Grill. I've heard pretty great things about this local gem. Now, anyone who knows me, knows I have a wicked soft spot for local owned business. In fact, I tend to gravitate toward local businesses over corporate owned chains. I stepped inside the dimly lit building where elderly couples and workers on their lunch breaks congregated with a warm and sincere welcome from the young ladies working there. This is what I love most about local business, is that honest interaction and sense of pride and community these kinds of places have. It just makes you feel like they want to earn your business, and care about your experience there. I was told I could sit wherever I chose and they brought the menu, and while there was a lot to choose from, I wanted to keep it simple, and went with a bacon cheeseburger, medium rare. I guess I tend to default back to my "Rik's Burger Review" days when I get the chance, and since it's where my review experience really began, it always feels nice to go back to the basics. I ordered onion rings instead of fries as I was in the mood for them, and I like them a little bit more. They brought the burger and it had the fries with it, and the girl realized immediately that the kitchen had made an error. She told me I could keep the fries and she would have my onion rings out shortly. A few minutes later, this side of fantastic onion rings showed up, and they were nothing short of amazing! The onion rings were appropriately crispy, and the breading had quite a zing, which was pleasant tasting. The onion inside was firm, hot and not soggy in the slightest. The burger was perfectly cooked as requested, the meat was seasoned well, it was juicy and succulent, the bacon was very crispy but not burned, and the cheese was bubbly melted to the burger. This was nothing short of a perfect meal! Also, they took the onion rings off my check because they were late getting them to me. I left full, happy and swore I would go back again. It's a bit out of the way from where I live. But if I'm out that way, I'll definitely be back.

We ordered a couple of the large queso for the table but most of that didn't ever get touched since we were talking so much. I ordered the steak fajitas with no bbq sauce. Very strange that fajitas in Alabama get marinated in bbq in the first place, I've never really seen that in other states. The fajitas came out and they were a nice portion, but let's be honest most of the skillet was covered with vegetables. For $17 these days, I should have expected that. I was still able to make 3 nicely sized fajita tacos. Fajitas - the fajitas were edible, but coming from Texas.....the food here is nothing in comparison to fajitas or Mexican food in Texas. Firstly, they are using the wrong cut of beef. This fajita meat reminded me of my mom's pepper steak when I was young which used chopped round steak. Fajita meat must be at least skirt steak or better. The tortillas were obviously not homemade. In fact they were so bad, I could barely tell whether they were corn or flour. Service from our waitress was ok and most others at the table seemed to like their food since they all cleaned their plates. T However, for me, this was an easy 3 stars.

The first time I thought: This is it.....I have found my place to eat!! My 2nd visit was a year or 2 later and I thought: This is still pretty good but not really good like I remember. After all the fairly recent features of the restaurant and Chefs on Local TV, so a year or2 ago I tried again but still not nearly as overall good. So I gave it some time and was nearby today 1 Oct 2026, & I tried it again. Down, down, down!! Not nearly like I'd hoped. So I wrote this review in hopes that some of my ideas and comments might be considered for possible improvement or at least create a couple alternative menu items for future customers to choose. Ideally owners managers would create a ongoing system to solicit exit comments from randomized customers for future considerations of possible changes. COST: All must pay up front at the cash register upon entering the restaurant. This is quite different than most other restaurants, cafeterias and buffets in the local Mobile Metro area. My senior early bird price was Good at $16.99. But cost me $19.44 due to added undisclosed and unforementioned credit card or other "non-cash" charges that were not even shown in the final calculations on the ticket receipt, just listed the sales tax. The extra charges were just lumped into the final cost figure, something that the customer would never know unless they looked very closely at the receipt. (Just be upfront and transparent with your customers if you wan them to be happy while eating your food!!). The cashier also requested a tip pay then but I declined with the thought that tips should be afterwards & based on excellent performance above and beyond what duties or work that is just regular part of their job. In my case. The server only brought my drink and checked with me a time or two but is that part of the expected regular job I think; nothing extra nor nothing special was done. But I did leave a very modest tip anyway just to say - Thank You! FOOD: I usually love green beans but these were mushy, over-cooked , broken apart and excessively salty. Apparently way over-strirred during the cooking process. Looked & tasted More like rewarmed leftovers! The added seasoning used did not suit my taste at all. Overall was more like a low-end school cafeteria taste & style. 1.5 Rutabagas looked ok & were cooked properly but were in large chunks and very bland tasting with almost none of that fresh crisp, sorta sharp rutabaga flavor that most garden fresh ones have. Kinda just "old" taste & texture. 3 Mac & Cheese casserole pan looked great, browned across the top and around the edges! Well cooked and good general overall flavor & good macaroni but to use four cheeses together was excessive and combined gave the "gravy" part a chalky texture/flavor that I do not like at all. Just plain cheddar cheese in mac-n-cheese is by far the BEST and I've eaten many, many servings over the years. A couple little recipe tweaks and your Mac & Cheese could be AWESOME!! 3.2 Cornbread muffins were lumpy inside and were yellow cornmeal.....Nah! And adding sweetening or sugar in the recipe makes it awful tasting to me. Sweet bread is for desserts to be eaten after the main meal. The lumpy part inside could probably be helped by adding a little more raw egg and oil into the pre mix....not regular old bulk vegetable oil but Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil only! The very best cornbreads are made with only white cornmeal! Some of the most awesome bread of all kinds I've ever eaten was cornbread using white cornmeal and triangle sliced after being cooked in a cast iron round skillet!!! 1.0 Banana Pudding is ok good for a "Cool Whip" base pudding but is only an authentic Southern home country style if the base is made of egg custard pudding topped with egg-white meringue. The BY bananas used appear to be off-brand (not Chiquita or similar) and did not taste fully ripe, firm but sorta soft. These had very little of that expected excellent banana flavor. The cookie wafers used appeared and tasted like bulk off-brand not like the expected Nabisco Nilla Wafers, which are the only kind that should be used in any GREAT Banana Pudding!! 3.5 Raw carrots & Broccoli fresh & good! 4.3 Pickled okra Excellent! 4.9 Fried Okra looked good, not much fresh okra flavor & taste. 2.5 Fried Chicken livers, not much fresh liver flavor & taste. 3.0 Green lima beans, looked good & well cooked just not much fresh vegetable flavor. 2.9 Vanilla ice cream, tasted pretty good but very icy more like ice milk. 4.1 Peach cobbler Very good. 4.2 The Mug decaf root beer was good but unexpectedly sweet! I thought it was a unsugared diet drink. I only had one plate of reg food with just small servings of each item plus two little bowls of desserts.
