Chips and salsa
Heather L.

Last week Dad, Uncle Carl, and I tried out El Mezcal Mexican Grill in Cullman. The chips and salsa were definitely fresh. The chips were hot, light, and crunchy, and the salsa was very good. Dad and Carl each got a chicken chimichanga with the traditional sides of rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Pretty good, but average for around here. I went for the birria taco, and it did not disappoint. Very meaty and flavorful. I also got a beef tongue taco and a carnitas taco. Both were good, but the carnitas were phenomenal! I don't know how they packed that much flavor into the pork, but they did! I got a side of some sort of hot sauce unlike anywhere I've ever been. It was really spicy but SO good! Just in small doses. I will definitely go back and will probably just get the carnitas plate. I want a whole plate full of that! We had awesome service from Candy. The lunch dates were perfection. #HeatherEats

Fried ice cream

My son picked this place out. We would have never even seen it. I had the burrito el mezcal, my wife stayed true to the chimchanga, my son did the kid burger and curl fries aka fresn fries on the menu. We finished it all off with fried ice cream. We absolutely destroyed it! A+ Good Grub YumYum!

The molcajete was awesome! It was a lot of food and very tasty! The rest of the family enjoyed their fajitas and chimichangas.

The food just wasn't as good as we were led to believe from other Yelp reviews. The service was good and the place had a nice atmosphere.

My husband and I were in the area and decided to give this restaurant a try. Our server was KJ and…read moreshe was fantastic! The atmosphere was dark and moody with beautiful chandeliers and scones giving a beautiful warm glow. We were dressed casually and that seemed to be fine. We ordered a starter, the oyster sampler. Delicious oysters chargrilled with four different marinades. Though the oysters were small , they were perfection! We also ordered the crab and shrimp au gratin dip . It was also extremely delicious, although the chargrilled oysters were the show! For our entree I ordered the seafood sampler,, and chose the fried oysters , seafood stuffed portobello mushroom and more chargrilled oysters. I ordered the sweet potatoes with honey butter and candied pecans as my side. It was so good it could pass for a dessert! Everything was sublime even down to the crispy French fries! My husband ordered the seafood pasta, which had shrimp, crawfish tails, crabmeat and mushrooms in a creamy light Alfredo sauce. It was delicious. Even though our meal was not inexpensive, it was well worth the price and we will definitely be back!

We had the redfish Orleans and the Redfish Royale and both were fantastic. Don't sleep on the crème brûlée sweet potatoes. They are AWESOME!!! We started with the crab and shrimp au gratin served warm with baguettes and it was really good as well. We have been to three different locations now and all of them prepare the food the same and all taste excellent!

My fiancée and I came here Friday evening while we were in the middle of running errands; since we…read morewere both hungry. I pass by this restaurant whenever I'm driving to work, so I thought we would give it a try; even though I'm not a big seafood person. The wait time between getting our drinks and the food arriving was a little long, but it doesn't bother us when we go out to eat. Not a big deal. The food was absolutely delicious though! We got corn fritters as an appetizer. My fiancée got the shrimp and grits and I got the popcorn shrimp basket. Our waitress, Julia, was really nice and a friendly personality. :)

We were there 4/24/26. The server Trey did not want to wait on us and made it clear. I don't know…read moreif it was because I'm visibly disabled or what. What's scary is this Trey stated he was a manager. There were issues the whole time with his attitude. (I will say my husband enjoyed his food) I tried to give upper management time to handle it - but it appears they do not care either. That same day I I gave feedback via the shrimp Basket app. Three days later I got an email from the area leader Mr Willmann asking to speak more and offering a free meal. I responded via email with my phone number and that I did not want a free meal - that as someone who has worked in restaurants I felt the situation needed to be addressed by management. Over a week passed with no word back from Mr Willmann so I emailed again. On 5/4 Mr Willmann responded that he had been busy but could he call the next day at 1. I replied that was fine. Two days later it became apparent that Mr Willmann wasn't going to call or even email back. So I emailed him on 5/6 with the full details of what happened on 4/24. Now here we are on 5/30 with still no response. I've given them plenty of time to respond before even considering making a review.

I ordered the meatloaf and my boyfriend got the sirloin steak. The meatloaf was absolutely delicious, I was very impressed. The sauce paired so well with the mashed potatoes underneath and the crispiness of the onions added a great crunch. Would come back just for this dish. We had some of the southern charcuterie appetizer platter and it had a great variety of things that were so delicious. We didn't get a chance to try the orange rolls but did buy some to take home, which came frozen and had baking directions. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nicer place to enjoy a meal

We were told about the orange rolls from our dear friend in Arizona who still thinks about these…read moreorange rolls fifteen (15) years after she last had them. She was NOT WRONG! The orange rolls were great, but so was the rest of the meal! Our server was Brody and he was a class act. He kept our drinks filled, rolls on the table and excellent treatment and service from top to bottom of our meal. I wish more restaurants understood you only get one chance to give a first impression. This was an excellent experience. But let's start with fresh side salads with fresh ranch dressing. The croutons had a great garlic flavor, pretty sure they are homemade. We both chowed down on the salads. I ordered the Gulf Red Snapper. Hubby ordered the Rib Eye. Hubby said he could cut his steak with a fork. We've been traveling since Monday and he said it was the best meal he's had all week. I had a lot of fish this week, going down to Florida. Tonight's meal was excellent. I was honestly sad when I took my last bite of fish. The fish was flaky and tender, and the crab sauce they served with it was scrumptious. Even the Green beans were great! I sopped up all the sauce with those yeast rolls Brody brought us. The much anticipated orange rolls were about to arrive! Were they worth the wait? We opted to not eat at the All Steak until our return trip home. Brody brought out our orange rolls, each on a separate plate. They were beautiful, smelled great, and even better??? They were delicious! I had read up on the history of this place, the fires, the restaurant sales and the tradition of the orange rolls. If I recall correctly, they have 1 lady who makes 710 a day and double that on Fridays for the weekend. I had been taking pictures to send to my friend who is still in Arizona, knowing she hasn't had one of these in a while. I wish I was able to take a fresh one home for her, but I live in Kentucky now. I overheard one of the waiters telling another table that we were in the old Ford dealership. Very cool to learn. The interior was a great vibe with beautiful cow prints on the walls. We will be back on our next trip to Pensacola, making Cullman our overnight stop again. It's definitely worth it.

Great ATMOSPHERE. Food is good but can be improved…read more Visiting family in Cullman wanted to try this place and saw that they had ramen. Coming in I loved the decorations of guitars on the walls, roof made to look like a stage set scaffolding in total atmosphere was great I loved the theme. Waiter/host was kind and very attentive. My kid and I tried some ramen and some appetizers. We tried the fried chicken stage stoppers pretty good, very crispy and good sauce. I really like the tuna and avocado appetizer that was really good. We got the creamy tonkotsu, and black garlic tonkotsu. They were out of protein for the ramen by 2pm so that's not very good to run out of food by lunchtime and I will say the ramen was not the best in my opinion. Ramen needs to be seasoned more was lacking the saltiness of the broth and the noodles are a bit over cooked that it breaks very easily. Cook the noodles less and add more bouillon to the broth they'd have a better ramen. The seasoned egg was excellent I give them good points for that a good ramen should always have a good seasoned egg. Also ordered some salmon sashimi and a bagel roll. Sashimi was good and decently fresh but very thin, but they made up for it by decorating it into a rose which was lovely. All in all decor was great, had a good mother and daughter time, food was good but can be improved.
