    Pork chops with mashed potato and asparagus. Slice of grilled pineapple over the top
    Randy D.

    Doesn't look like much when you pull up, but it's a solid locals spot with good food and a nice bourbon selection Decorated inside like pirate lair and cabin, it's a little quirky but that's ok! Food was good, service was solid. Had the pork chop and some calamari with a couple old fashioneds Would definitely stop in again if I'm in town

    We got the 2 for $50. He had the smoked pork chop.

    I had the chicken piccata. The bread was amazing. Nothing we ate was bad. Everything was light and fresh. Our dessert was banana pudding & zeppole. Also, the salads.-topped w/ cinnamon cayenne dust! Yummy!

    We visited Epicure last week. It was the first time visiting since it had been "remodeled" from the old Fantail seafood. The first thing we noticed was the place was pretty dark both in the lighting and the interior. We were greeted right away and seated. April was our server and was very knowledgeable with the items on the menu. We ordered and it didn't take long for our food to arrive hot and fresh. April checked on us regularly. Did I mention that the place is pretty dark? I had to use my phones flashlight to read the menu. With that being said, the food and service was very good and the prices were very reasonable. Just needs more lighting. Loved the banana pudding!

    Great Southern food (fried shrimp, hush puppies), really fun decor, friendly skillful waitresses. It's one of a kind and lots of fun.

    Great ambiance, great service and excellent food! Will definitely return. No dedicated GF menu but items are easily modified.

    Meatloaf
    Steven M.

    I've eaten lunch here for the past 3 days. I have gotten the meat and 3 on every occasion. Tuesday I got the hamburger steak, greens, mashed potatoes and gravy and the Italian donuts with the caramel sauce. The food was good however the hamburger steak was overcooked and dry and the gravy was thin and watery. Wednesday I got the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, Spanish corn casserole and mac n cheese. The casserole wasn't very good and I didn't finish it however the mac n cheese was very good. Thursday I got the meatloaf, mac n cheese, okra and mashed potatoes and gravy. The meatloaf is wrapped in bacon and covered with a Masterpiece type BBQ sauce. It was good but a little dry from being a little overcooked. The gravy on the mashed potatoes Wednesday and Thursday was nice and thick. The best sides by far have been the mashed potatoes, mac n cheese and okra. The greens needed more seasoning. Overall though the food is pretty good and the atmosphere is very nice and upscale. There is however some deceit on the ticket. There is a claim that you get a discount for paying cash but you don't. You just don't pay a surcharge for using a credit card. This place has a lot of potential to be a great restaurant. They need to work on the consistency and drop the sides that aren't very good.

    Chicken Parmesan (Senior Portion)
    Andrew L.

    Wife & I decided to give Epicure & Jack's Tavern a try on a Saturday evening. Arriving around 6:30pm, we did not have to wait for a table more than a couple of minutes. Our server, PeeWee, quickly took our drink orders and put in for an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes. My wife got the Bikini Martini and I asked for an Old Fashioned. While I enjoyed my drink, my wife was not a fan of hers. The FGTs were excellent and we very much enjoyed them before our entrees. She had the Red Jumbo Shrimp Platter and I ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Both of us asked for the Senior portion and found both entrees to be plenty of food. The cocktail sauce for her shrimp was excellent, and she enjoyed both the shrimp and the side of fries. I thought the chicken was seasoned very well and complimented the pasta nicely. The marinara sauce was good, not extraordinary. Overall, we were both very satisfied with the quality of food and portion size. The service provided by PeeWee during our visit was very good. He was friendly, answered questions and was knowledgeable of the menu items and restaurant. Good dude! We enjoyed the atmosphere of the waiting area and the restaurant. It's obvious that the owner has put a lot of time and effort into crafting a somewhat eclectic and interesting atmosphere. There's pictures/paintings on the ceiling, seafaring decor around the place and many antique pieces. Pretty cool. Oh, and a H.R. Giger painting in the men's bathroom LOL. The tavern side of the place has a substantial bar and was somewhat raucous with the number of people in there along with a small jazz band. Overall, a very unique and cool vibe. We look forward to our next visit to try other drinks and food!

    First off this place is great! The menu changes!! Which is so nice! I posted them bc I wanted people to see the type of food they offer. Really impressed with the whole experience. Service 10/10 (A.Jenkins) she recommended some good food, food 10/10 atmosphere 10/10. I travel a lot and get to experience a lot of different restaurants and I'm a foodie. I really search out the best food in the area. This place is now my local favorite. The bread was bread. It's was a good hunger breaker if you didn't get an appetizer. I had the Trigger fish with Shrimp and my wife had the Philly and fries. Both were great. I was a little skeptical at first but I was quickly surprised. Food came out fast and delicious! They talk about the steaks so next time steak will be ordered. It's a big place and it feels like it's two places in one. A tavern and a restaurant. If you are looking for a drink and live music on Friday and Saturday this is the place to go as well. I would have to say it could be the best restaurant in the whole area. This was a great visit and can't wait to try it out again.

    Shrimp and Grits

    We were seated quickly, the waitress was very nice and helpful with the menu, and the food was amazing! We highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and the shrimp and grits.

    Fun place to go- had a BLAST and those chicken wings are Rock Star!

    The 243 Restaurant in Prattville was an amazing experience from start to finish. The service was…read moretruly top-notch -- our server kept the pink lemonade flowing, which we definitely appreciated during our late Saturday brunch. I ordered the French dip sandwich with au jus. At most restaurants, the au jus can be bland or forgettable, but this one was rich, full-bodied, and incredibly flavorful. It elevated the entire sandwich. My husband and sons each ordered the chicken and waffles, and not a single bite was left behind. Every piece was eaten -- which says everything. My only small criticism would be that the thick-cut fries could have used just a few more seconds in the fryer. Other than that, perfection. For four of us, the total came to around $80 before tax and tip -- an excellent value for the quality of food, service, atmosphere, and location. We will definitely be back.

    Wonderful Ambiance 9.5 Bar a little large Excellent…read moreservice 9.9 Food selection was challenging the appearance was okay but questionable.my Ribeye steak was something that looked as though they got it from Waffle House. Rather thin and rubbery. I requested it with Grilled onions and mushrooms I got a mound of Mush gravy spread over the steak (spread because it was a failed attempt at a Gravy). With raw onions in it. The menus were faintly printed in small script font the seating arrangement is a bit overcrowded as well. We had to move our TABLE for a gentleman in another party to sit at his table. We felt intruded throughout the remainder of our dinner. Their conversation was literally ours. 243 South definitely has the vision of the assignment to bring the next level dining experience to a small town. I encourage them to keep trying perhaps pay more attention to the customer comforts rather than the Bougie dispositions. and get your cooks lessons. C+
