My colleague had the chicken Philly, and while it was huge, it lacked the pop we both wanted. The place itself feels welcoming and comfortable, and the American flag made from a fire hose is such a cool, thoughtful detail. If I could, I'd give it 3.5 stars.

Me and wife decided on this place for lunch after reading reviews…read more It was pretty busy but you seat yourself. They have both indoor and covered outdoor seating. We sat ourselves and was attended to relatively fast. The menu was a good lunch menu. Several sandwiches salads and burgers. Plus a few other items. We chose to get a pretzel to start and wife got the cbr salad which is a chopped salad with bacon cheese croutons and chicken. She got it fried. I opted for the da brees sandwich which is slow roasted roast beef. I also got my fries the Messi way which has cheese and bacon. Fire. I only wish there was some kind of au jus with the sandwich. I know others come with it but for some reason not this one. Would have made it even better. We were both very pleased with our orders as well as the pretzel. Best pretzel I've had in a long time. This was easily the best lunch we had during our trip here. Highly recommend.

And for the record, the Alabama Crimson Tide took care of business against that team from lower Alabama. But we're not here for the basketball recap--we're here for the food review. I've heard a lot of good things about this place, so today we took a little field trip and moseyed on over to Coker to see what all the fuss was about. If you're a stranger to this part of the county and somehow manage to find the correct road, you're not going to miss it. When you reach the county "traffic light"--also known as a four-way stop sign--you're there. Go another hundred feet in any direction and congratulations... you've officially left Coker. I ordered the pulled pork BBQ plate and my wife went with her favorite: fried catfish. Now I have to be a little careful ordering fried foods late in the day because it can trigger the midnight acid reflux eruption--and nobody enjoys that wake-up call. But I decided to roll the dice. The BBQ was soft, tender, and delicious. The only thing I'd probably pass on next time is the white BBQ sauce. It's a little different from the famous Alabama white barbecue sauce that folks around here rave about. Stick with their regular BBQ sauce--it's much better. Now let's talk about my wife's catfish... that fish was the bomb. Whoever was running that fryer might have **Emeril Lagasse rethinking his catfish technique back there in that frying pan. If you find yourself here trying to decide what to order, my recommendation is simple: catfish all day, every day, and twice on Sundays. It was hot, crispy, and absolutely on point. The black bean salad was okay. My wife enjoyed it more than I did--and that's alright. She thinks for herself, and most of the time she's right. One of the things I really liked about the place is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant--it's a true general store. You can grab Alabama-made products off the shelves and wash your meal down with an ice-cold Coca-Cola if that's your style. It's got that small-town charm you just don't see much anymore. All in all, I'd give The Coker Market a solid 4 stars. In a town where you can leave city limits in about 100 feet, The Coker Market might just be the best stop in all of Coker.

My niece had the kid's pizza panini with fruit and a cookie, and she loved it all. My sister had the Reuben and the Cajun potato salad, and she was complimentary of both. The Cajun potato salad was good, but it tasted a little more like Old Bay or maybe just shrimp boil seasoning to me than specifically Cajun. Either way, it was still good! Definitely check this place out for a quick and delicious lunch if you're in town!

The Brown Bag Restaurant in Northport has been a staple for good eats for as long as I can…read moreremember. I can't tell you how many times people have recommended it for lunch, yet I never managed to stop in and experience it for myself until today. My work schedule and the Bag's hours always seemed to clash, and since it's a bit off the beaten path, it stayed in the "out of sight, out of mind" category. Now, as I'm approaching full retirement, I finally had the time to swing by and see what all the fuss was about. Upon arrival, the first sign you're in the right place is the parking lot. It's packed, about like a blue tick on a hound dog. Stepping inside, don't expect anything fancy. The interior is old school with faded paint and a no frills setup. Your food is served in Styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. But that's part of the charm. Who needs fine china when you're filling your gizzard with good soul food? The place was full and I managed to grab one of the last open tables under the roof. I then waited for the waitress who was running laps across the dining area, taking orders, refilling drinks, checking out customers, and handling everything in between. If you come anywhere near lunch hour, don't expect Jimmy John's Freaky Fast service. You're here to slow down and enjoy the experience. When I ordered, I went with a catfish fillet, turnip greens, field peas, fried green tomatoes, a side of cornbread, and tartar sauce for the fish. The fried green tomatoes did not make it out with the order, but the waitress was very apologetic and adjusted my bill to a meat and two instead of a meat and three, which I appreciated. Now to the important part, the food. The catfish was hot, crispy, and perfectly cooked, not greasy at all, just honest, well done Southern cooking. The turnip greens and field peas were flavorful and comforting, exactly what you hope for in a place like this. The tartar sauce had a slightly sweet twist that I was not expecting, different from the traditional version, but surprisingly excellent. I will need a few more visits before I can fully put that into words, but it worked. Overall, now I understand the buzz. The Brown Bag delivers exactly what it promises, simple, hearty, well prepared soul food served without pretense. I will definitely be back, and now that retirement is on the horizon, I have got all the time in the world to wait on a good meal, unlike you working folks still rushing through lunch.

There is ample outside and inside seating, however, know that the TVs are going to be on full blast, especially during football games! We ordered a chicken shawarma gyro with a side of roasted vegetablesThe Gyro (beef-lamb) with Mediterranean fries. My husband enjoyed The Gyro and would get it again. My chicken shawarma was just meh because it lacked any real seasoning/spice. The ingredients are quality but the flavor was not there for me. I enjoyed the roasted veggies which were interestingly well seasoned. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambience is college town vibes (7 tvs each blaringly loud). Decor was nice with plenty of windows with natural light, wood tables and comfortable chairs (no arms on any of them) and bar stools. 1 star deduction for lack of flavor in sandwich 1 star deduction for WAY too loud TVs (excessive) exacerbated by Kitchen sounds

If you've never had meat (or VEGGIES!) cooked on a BGE, it will change your life. This fact alone will bring me back to try other things. Before I get into the meal, my only real complaint was that they only had a soda machine and tea. I had brought my mother along, and she already had lunch and wanted just to sit and chat. As it was a very cold day she was gonna order a coffee and they don't offer anything hot! It's definitely an opportunity to expand here even if it was just so simple as putting a Keurig machine in the back. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It is served with grilled chicken in a grilled wrap and cheddar cheese. If there was a buffalo sauce, I didn't taste any. I was a little disappointed in the wrap. The flavor didn't really stand out as being cooked on the Big Green Egg. The cheese wasn't really melted, which can be a common problem with shredded cheddar cheese, but it also didn't really have the buffalo flavor that I was looking for in a buffalo chicken wrap (maybe it was a Toledo Ohio wrap I don't know just not spicy. ) It served with a side of ranch which I juiced up with some Cholula and that helped. I i'm not knocking the quality of the food because it was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations I had in my head based on the menu description. It also came with a side, which I chose the broccoli salad. This was nicely done with bacon, I believe some quinoa and the broccoli was chopped up nicely so you didn't have huge chunks. Also, it wasn't overly sauced so that would make it runny. Overall I give the property four out five stars. Also, the flavor of the whole meal was fine. Good size portion and good value for your money.
