Cafe 222 is the best "home cooking" you'll find in the Shoals! I've eaten here too many times to…read morecount; this is one of my go-to lunch places during the work week. Their "meat & three" is fairly priced and the portions are HUGE! I have never eaten my entire plate, so I am always pleased to have leftovers to take home that night for an easy dinner. The chicken casserole is my favorite meal, and any of the side casseroles are amazing as well. My favorite side is easily the Brussels sprouts + butternut squash, but I love the various cobblers too. Whatever you decide to get, do NOT forget dessert! They have my favorite banana pudding, and all of the baked goods are delicious (and super cheap). I would be a frequent patron here solely because of how delicious it is, but Ms. Amy is the easiest business owner you could ever support. She has the kindest heart and operates this business simply because she loves to serve people through food. I've never seen someone walk in who was't greeted by her smile, and she never forgets to ask you about your day. Ms. Amy is an amazing human being, so I will continue supporting her business as long as it's here (and you should too)!

Waitress told me everything was homemade,-- I specifically asked if the green beans were canned. She said absolutely not--- haha those were the most perfectly cut green beans I have ever seen, and they tasted as canned as they come. The desserts were bland. Hubby liked his grilled chicken. I kept looking at the meatloaf on another diner's plate, thinking it would have been a better choice. This might be Southern cooking by some standards but I think there is much better and more authentic out there.

My friend's pancake was cold, butter just sat there, grits cold, at least the eggs were hot. Mine was worse, gravy was cold, hash browns were to be crispy, there were hardly cooked, the sausage was still raw in the middle, at least the eggs were hot. Sent the cold stuff back, gravy came out first, must have popped that in the microwave, hash browns next, still not crisp, I was told that the best she could do, never got the sausage. went to pay for the food, not a sorry, not a comp for anything, not even a thank you for your business.

This restaurant is across the street from the fairly popular Francesco's Italian restaurant. Having been there before, I didn't have any troubles locating this place. The parking lot is a little rugged in spots but at least there's plenty of space. The inside is a little sparse but there's ample seating and some kind of cool drawings hanging on the walls. A portrait of who I can only assume to be Minnie Lee is near the entrance. Food is served cafeteria style by some very nice people. Seriously, the service was so warm and sweet. We felt very welcomed there. We both decided on fried chicken for lunch. My mom got the last breast from the batch so I wound up with a thigh, which isn't my favorite piece but I still like it okay. You can have more than two sides if you wish, but we didn't. I chose yams and fried potatoes as mine, while my mom got yams and cabbage. Note that their cabbage is cooked with sausage. For bread, they offered standard cornbread muffins or hot water cornbread, which the friendly staff recommended (good choice!). We both opted for sweet tea to drink. I'm not sure of the price because of course my mom snuck in and paid for both of our meals before I could notice! Lol. We found a clean booth and dug in quickly. Overall, the food was pretty good! This isn't necessarily a new favorite soul food place for me, but I'd definitely come back. The best item was honestly the cabbage! My mom let me taste a bite. So flavorful and perfect texture. This is real, southern-style cabbage (which is to say, probably not great for you...but quite tasty!). The hot water cornbread was also really good. It's different than the hot water cornbread I've had in the past; this version was very crispy on the outside with super soft, almost gooey, corny inside. It was yummy. The yams were also solid! Not the best I've ever had (flavor kind of one-note), but they were sweet and soft. The fried potatoes and fried chicken were both just okay. The fried potatoes weren't super hot or crispy, but the added flavor from the onions was nice. The fried chicken's breading was crispy and flavorful enough, but the meat, even on the thigh, was a bit dry. Neither were bad, but if I return in the future, I'd probably try something else first. We were too full for dessert, but they had pecan pie and banana pudding on display. Overall, lovely service and tasty food make this a solid option in the area.

She ask me if I want that on croissant or ciabatta. I say ciabatta. She asks me if I want it heated? I say well the bread toasted yes. She is very friendly by the way. So I being the only customer wait for my sandwich. I get it wrapped in foil. Peel it open and the foil sticks to the hot bread (lol) no problem. I'll pick that off. I take a bite and taste no bacon so I open it up and it's bacon bits. Lol. The entire sandwich is hot so I'm eating hot lettuce hot tomato. I decided to just enjoy the bread Lol. I give it a 1 Maybe they are better for breakfast but I most definitely will not be back This was not Claunch cafe. It was Charlie's coffee in Tuscumbia. I don't know how it got changed
