I had an early dinner at Simmer Down with a group of five celebrating a friend's birthday. It was a…read moreSunday evening, and the restaurant wasn't busy, which made for a relaxed experience. Since it was my first visit, I appreciated that our waitress took the time to answer questions and help me navigate the menu. She was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I started with the onion petals, which were delicious and a great way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak kabobs cooked medium. Unfortunately, they came out closer to well done. They still had good flavor, but I wish they had been a little more tender. The salad bar lived up to the reviews. It was fresh, well stocked, and definitely worth the trip. As a nice touch, they brought out a slice of strawberry cake for my friend's birthday. I stole a bite and can confirm it was pretty tasty. Overall, this is a great local spot with flavorful food and fantastic service. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the steak was overcooked. I'd definitely come back and try it again.

I love the decor, kindness, thoughtful preparation to the customers and the food was good.read more

Stopped in for breakfast the other morning while visiting in the area. We came across the Farmhouse…read moreon a drive and the parking lot was packed, so we pulled in and glad we did. A farm style Americana interior, comfortable and relaxed. Friendly and kind service. Old school farm house diner, with kjnd service and good food. We were greeted walking in and the sign said to sit where you like. So we grabbed a table in the front section and one of the servers working that morning walked over with menus and got our drink requests. She was kind and professional. A home style menu, simple and good. After looking it over I opted for the Farmhouse Quick Start and some browns, Two eggs over medium with bacon, hash brown and a biscuit with pepper gravy. This is a good breakfast choice. The eggs were done right, the pepper gravy with biscuit was also good, as well the hash browns done right, and the bacon it was really good. 4 Stars all in all a good choice for breakfast 01297

The Farmhouse: Where Breakfast Comes Home to Roost…read more If you've read my reviews before, you know I'm not a particularly hard-boiled egg to crack. I don't demand gold-plated cutlery or waiters who can sabre a champagne bottle with a flourish. Give me solid food, a smile that doesn't feel forced, and a room that looks like it's seen a vacuum this decade, and I'll be happier than a biscuit in gravy. That said, The Farmhouse didn't just meet my expectations--it pulled a full-on "Avengers Assemble" and brought them together in a satisfying, bacon-scented breakfast epic. First impressions? Think "Little House on the Prairie" meets "HGTV on a budget"--rustic charm with just enough polish to let you know someone actually tried. The tablecloths are hanging on by a thread (literally), but the space itself is clean, comfy, and as inviting as grandma's front porch. Judging by the bustling Friday morning crowd, I'd say I'm not the only one who got the memo. The service? Friendlier than your favorite aunt at a church potluck. The staff had that rare balance of attentiveness without hovering. There's a sign on the wall that reads, "Come in a stranger, leave as a friend." I half-expected them to follow it up with "You've got a friend in me," Toy Story-style. Now, onto the reason we're all here: the food. Spoiler alert--it didn't disappoint. Mom ordered the Farmhouse Southern Omelette with home fries and gave it rave reviews. She praised the bacon-to-veggie ratio like it was a fine wine pairing and declared the seasoning "just right," in her best Goldilocks impression. The home fries? House-made and heart-warming. My wife went full Southern with the Hearty Breakfast, and it did exactly what it said on the menu--hearty enough to power a tractor and delicious enough to make you consider canceling lunch. She gave special kudos to the biscuits and gravy, which she claimed were "fluffy, creamy, and possibly blessed." As for me, I went for the Big Moo--a 10-ounce ribeye with eggs and a rogue pancake that snuck onto my plate like it was auditioning for dessert. The steak was a tad undercooked but well-seasoned enough that I didn't mind. And the tater tots? Crispy, golden nuggets of joy. I'd pair them with everything if society would let me. I was so pleased, I channeled my inner Ratatouille critic and requested a word with the chef. Chef John greeted me with the kind of genuine smile that says, "Yes, I do get up at 4 a.m. to make magic happen, and no, I don't regret it." He welcomed us back like old friends--which, by the vibe of the place, we might just be now. This, dear reader, is what I imagined when I dreamed of Alabama mornings: honest food, kind people, and a sense that somewhere nearby, a rooster might actually be crowing. The Farmhouse isn't trying to reinvent breakfast--it's just doing it right. To paraphrase The Godfather: Just when I thought I was out (of room), they pulled me back in--with another bite. Bravo, Farmhouse. Never change!

A comfortable interior with a few tables and chairs, and a large covered outdoor deck. Our server was friendly and fun, who made sure we had everything we needed while there. She brought menus and took our drink orders. After giving the concise menu a read we decided to give the Fried Mushrooms to start. Fried golden brown, large plump shrooms were well made and served piping hot. I wanted a bowl of Gumbo so gave theirs a try. It was pretty good, not exactly my choice it was a little to sweet for my liking, but pretty good. For my entree I went for Guy's Fish and Chips and it was very good, nicely battered crispy golden brown with succulent fish with a side of house fried chips and hush puppies. The fish was done very well, the chips also very good along with the puppies. A great meal at a fair value. Still a very good meal, with friendly service in a great location on the water. Fills up quickly with the short hours. 4.5 Stars rounded up for our great server 01318

Listen, when you hear that there's a restaurant in a cave in North Alabama, you just go, because…read morenot going would just be silly and that would break the basic rules of road trip etiquette. Is it easy to get to? No, because it's a restaurant in a CAVE. Is it gourmet food? No, because it's a restaurant IN A CAVE. Does it have a fancy wine list and white tablecloths? No, because IT'S A RESTAURANT IN A CAVE. Is it family friendly? Uh, yeah... as long as your family is cool, like mine. Is the food good? Yes, actually. Is it super cool? Yes, because it's a frickin' restaurant in a cave! Look, the bottom line is this- the food is good, the service is good but the ambience is the coolest part. Once you find it among the beautiful rural Alabama scenery, you park your car and you wait at the little pavilion. A couple of minutes will go by and a truck will come to pick you up and take you on the short ride down to the cave. It's a fun ride, a beautiful place and there's good food to eat. One thing is for certain- going to the Rattlesnake Saloon will become a core memory for your kids and your family. My best advice- go during the day so you don't miss the scenery of the surrounding valley.
