4 veg plate, creamed potatoes, max and cheese, green beans, creamed corn and cornbread.
Bridget C.

We were leisurely driving from Talladega on a Sunday evening when we yelped "dessert" near us. This place came up and in the pictures of the menu it said, - PIES. Well we're always ready to get pie and this pie didn't disappoint. We got one of each, no apple, and a large banana pudding. All the pies taste homemade, so does the banana pudding, but everyone has their own taste for whatever banana pudding style they like and this wasn't it for me. I would say this was a cooked banana pudding. The creamed potatoes are southern, the green beans are seasoned well and cooked with bacon. The mac and cheese has a good texture and a yummy cheese sauce. The sweet potato casserole is aite. Corn bread is homemade and crumbles, would do well with butter. The pecan pie taste like candy and is so sweet and delicious. The lemon meringue is the real winner here! Definitely worth trying again, it started to fill up when we were leaving! I wish we had a meat and three like this near me!

This is in such an odd place, but it's so good..If you happen to see it, definitely stop in. The meal was great and the price was really fair.

If your hungry and can't go any further then yes. The staff are friendly. The prices are cheap but the food is mediocre. The mashed potatoes are from a box. The veggies have no seasoning. I will say the club sandwich was very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to try it but it was good. I also had the peach cobbler which was not good at all. It had no crust in it and it had a funny after taste. I would suggest if you have to stop get the club sandwich but if you can wait, drive on...

Fried bologna sandwich is worth writing home about. It's simple but just like grandma use to make.

What a cool experience! This place is fun and friendly. Customer service was amazing. We arrived on…read morea rainy morning and had to wait for a table. They have a very cool gift shop that you can browse while waiting and we hadn't even seen half of it before our table was ready. The staff was so sweet and concerned about us in the weather. We received water as soon as we were seated and then ordered the Birthday tea. You can buy any of their teas and you can purchase any of the tea sets you see around the restaurant. Every time I looked around I saw something new! We ordered grits, hash browns, French toast and avocado toast. Everything was tasty and the chef even stopped by-which is always a nice touch. The staff even sang Happy Birthday once I informed our server it was my special weekend. The chef gave me bread pudding-now I'm not a bread pudding fan, but it was very good! There was just enough crispy bread and a very smooth and sweet sauce on top. All in all, the space was clean, the service was excellent and the food was solid.

When I am traveling, I love to find places that are not just about food, but about the experience…read more The Hatter Cafe is one. Picture a place that transports you into Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. That tables are all themed according to different characters. The waitress dressed like Alice. A small store - the Rabbit Hole - where you can shop while you wait. This shop has all sorts of merchandise that is Wonderland themed (as well as some huge, excellent cake cookies). Welcome to the Hatter Cafe. This is one of two spots you see recommended for Mentone, Alabama, which is on my route from Nashville to Rome, Georgia. The drive up to the place takes up up a road with some beautiful scenery. You pass through the town of Mentone and the Hatter Cafe is on the right. This is also a bed & breakfast for those wishing to visit nearby Desoto State Park, and its falls, or Cloudlands, which is a bit further. I have included pix of the BnB. Only 2 rooms, but each has a hot tub. The menu is limited and focused, although there are ample choices for even the choosiest of guests. Not surpringly, they have an ample selection of teas (and coffee for the non-tea lover). We sat at the Humpty Dumpty table and decided on the Ribeye with both Mushroom Gravy (mine) and Peppercorn Sauce (hers). Meal starts with a salad made from local produce, which was clear from the freshness of the tomatoes. Off to a great start. Then the steak. The sauces are on the side, so you can opt in or out (in other words, don't be afraid to order one). Of the two sauces, I thought I would like the mushroom gravy more, but the peppercorn was phenomenal. Veggies also local and prepared to perfection. This is one I would gladly return to in the future and may even book a room the next time. Thanks to the staff for allowing us to preview the rooms.

Excellent customer service from Grace (specifically). From the moment we walked in until the time…read morewe left, she demonstrated the kind of hospitality that feels like a lost art. I call it the industry standard; attentive, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure guests have a great experience. When we stopped in for lunch, there was only one other diner in the restaurant, but don't let that fool you. If you're in the area, this spot is worth a visit. Chat & Choo offers an interesting American-Thai fusion menu that combines familiar comfort foods with unique twists. One surprise favorite for me was the spinach and mozzarella spring rolls. I didn't realize I needed those in my life, but they were absolutely delicious. Such simple ingredients, yet they worked perfectly together. I ordered the Pad Thai, which was very good. My friend went with the breakfast steak, eggs, and grits, along with a colossal-sized pancake. He couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed his meal. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Even if the food had been average, Grace's professionalism and warmth would have made the visit memorable. Too many restaurants overlook the importance of greeting guests properly, checking on them throughout their meal, and making them feel appreciated when they leave. Grace did all of those things effortlessly. I had never heard of Chat & Choo before this visit, but I'll definitely be returning with friends. Great service creates loyal customers, and that's exactly what happened here.

The service and staff are fantastic. I have a gluten intolerance so they are very good at accommodating for food restrictions. The train does drive-by, and there's a brief moment where they train horn blows and it's relatively loud, but the building itself is well insulated. So it doesn't disturb your meeting.

The food was excellent. Wish i lived closer. Had the lunch special chicken n dressing the chicken…read morewas fried with the best crust.

When we arrived we notified them we had a party of seven. Two waitresses started discussing moving…read moretwo tables together but they could not get confirmation if they could do it or not. They asked us to have a seat and said it would be just a few minutes. After watching three other families come in and get seated right away we were still waiting. 30 minutes later we finally got seated. They ended up making us wait until another family had finished and left. It took forever for them to take our drink orders. And thankfully everybody already knew what we wanted to order so we went ahead and ordered at the same time. We ordered fried pickles. They are the absolute worst fried pickles I've ever had. You could not even taste a pickle flavor. They were so thin that the batter dehydrated them. No flavor at all other than salt. Then came the extremely long wait for our food. Looking around the room everyone was having to wait and extremely long wait for their food. As people that were seated before us still had no food. When our food arrived, all of the adult meals came out but the two kids meals which were just hamburgers and fries took over another full 5 minutes or more before they brought them out. Waitresses were not spending anytime filling drinks. When she did ask my husband about needing more water he said yes he was going to need more water, but she never brought any more out. I ordered the country fried steak. The batter was very dark and color like it was overcooked or cooked in old grease. One of the patties could not be eaten because it was so overcooked and burnt. The green beans were very mushy my mashed potatoes and gravy were cold. My daughter ordered fried okra and it was cold. The cornbread muffin was so small, my guess is it was the last of the batter being used. I could have eaten it in one bite. But it was so dry and flavorless that I chose to leave it on my plate. When the waitress finally asked how everything was I told her about our experience with the overcooked country fried steak and the cold okra and cold mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband ordered prime rib and it was way overcooked versus prime rib that you see at other restaurants. My mother's steak was overcooked and her grilled shrimp came out cold. The waitress brought out replacement mashed potatoes and gravy and replacement fried okra. I asked her about taking something off of the bill since I could not eat half of my dinner. She tried to say that the mashed potatoes and okra that she brought out were extra helpings, but I explained to her they were not extra that they were replacement for what was cold. I was not asking for a replacement country fried steak but I would like something off of my ticket. She finally agreed and took $5 off. Also with us having two children in our group they gave us one children's menu. These are the menus that have a coloring page on the back. We had to ask for a second kids menu and had to ask for the crayons. When our food came we also had to ask for silverware. Do not waste your time waiting to be seated and do not waste your time waiting for your food here. It is not worth it. They definitely have issues in the kitchen, as I was checking out I heard the waitress say that she had to make peach muffins because no one else had done it and they had run out. Overall I felt like I was in a living episode of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares.
