The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for families. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel like family from the moment we walked in. It's rare to find a place with this combination of amazing food, genuine hospitality, and heart. We can't wait to come back and will recommend it to everyone we know. Five stars isn't enough!

Went last evening for dinner. Wonderful and inviting atmosphere. Loved the soft music and having…read morethe ability to have a soft conversation with my group. If you know anything about middle eastern, Turkish or Mediterranean food this place doesn't have the flavor. Had the chicken shawarma and it's made from chicken fingers, the fattoush was a bit of a joke it was iceberg lettuce (lol) and not one touch of sumac. While the food was meh I wouldn't call this Mediterranean by any stretch of the imagination. If I didn't know Mediterranean maybe it would somehow fool me. Buddy had the lamb shank and it was tender but completely bland. Sorry, won't be back.

You'll drive past the place because you think it's a gas station that's been shutdown but I'm glad…read moreI stopped. I had the Blackened Shrimp Tacos (no crema) with a side of hush puppies. The tacos looked pretty standard but they were actually really good. They came with shredded cheese, tomatoes and cabbage to add some crunch. There was enough food without the hush puppies but I won't pass up a hush puppy. I'm pretty sure they had jalapeño in them but it was so faint I can't say for sure. I'll pass through Cottondale later this week and I plan on stopping here again.

Steaks are great, and the Catfish Fillet dinner is killer. The best part of all is the staff at Dee's. They are plainly down home, make you feel like family, people. Luv our time at Dee's every time we are here. And if you time it right you can chat with Mrs. Varnum, one of the locals who can give you a little history lesson on Vernon.

I wish they had more cheese options but they only had the standard American cheese and personally I felt the quality of the cheese could have been better. I got fried okra as my side and it was delicious. Sweet tea was my drink of choice and I felt that it should have been richer and sweeter. It tasted more like sugar water versus sweet tea. SERVICE: Family oriented. Friendly. Welcoming. I got there close to 11am so there was definitely a lunch rush coming in, but service was quick and my order was accurate. Overall, this was a great southern restaurant for the small town of Vernon. ATMOSPHERE: Small. Casual. Kid friendly. LOCATION: Private parking lot with a decent amount of parking.

The kids menu specifies eight and under, but they totally all four could have done a kids menu as the food portions were huge. my husband had the shrimp Poboy and I had the fish tacos. All of the food was extremely fresh. We also ordered the jalapeño tuna dip for an appetizer and loved it so much we got extra to bring home to the group we are vacationing with. Definitely recommend!

Literally everything we ordered was incredibly yummy. Highly recommend this place to any seafood lover!

Decent wine menu, and the pistachio crème brûlée was fun. Even had port for me to drink to round out a perfect meal! The service was impeccable and prompt. The atmosphere is the only thing that is lacking, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Just a little sterile and feels sort of like a cafeteria at an old folks home. But, like I said, not a deal breaker. The food more than makes up for it!

All fresh ingredients served with fresh vegetables. The cocktails were delicious. The deserts are made fresh in house everyday. Chef kiss the cobbler was outstanding. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Huge bar area with plenty of cocktail and beer options bottle and draft. This place is conveniently located in US 98 with plenty of parking. Definitely coming back next time I am in the panhandle.
