I ordered the southern comfort with smashed brown potatoes and absolutely loved them! My partner ordered the D.W.'s Biscuit & Gravy and he loved his too!! The bacon here is really good choice if bacon as well! Not sure what kind it is but we really loved it! Definitely give this place a try you want regret it! Service was excellent as well! As for Ambiance I'd say it could be better as it's one big room with no background noise so you feel like others are listening to your conversation. But with saying that it won't keep me from going back!

Absolutely terrible. They clearly don't know how to plan catering events. A couple of us signed up…read morefor a dinner cruise and Mimi's caters it. We were the last ones and ALL the food was gone except for this minced meat and canned green beans. They had the audacity to give us basically one bite of potatoes and call it a serving when we watched everyone ahead of us have healing plates of chicken, potatoes, & cornbread. That was just poor planning. One of my friends didn't even get a cornbread scrap and they gave her more ground beef like that was acceptable. The food was bland too. I wouldn't get food from this place if it was the only place left open in that town. When I said they didn't plan it well her response was she made half chicken and half beef. Well, clearly that was a bad idea and you still didn't make enough side dishes. Nobody and I mean NOBODY wanted that ground beef. The lies were gross too... the dough was like leftover pastry dough with canned apple filling and a bunch of granulated sugar dumped on top of it. Unless something major changes, absolutely don't get food here or you'll be disappointed.

We both got the 7oz filets, cooked medium rare, with a house salad, and she had a baked potato and I had the garlic mashed potatoes. The steaks were cooked to perfection and probably one of the best steaks I had ever had! My wife said the same thing about her steak. The service was top notch! We never had to ask for a refill or wait to order. Definitely a place to try and we'll go back on another date night in the near future.

Made reservations..glad I did. Beautiful weather calls for sitting outside. They just need umbrellas for all of the tables. Not just the +4 tables. We had a good friendly waitress. We enjoyed a tasty bowl of tomato bisque. Sister had to try their friend green tomatoes, which I don't eat. They did look delish..and she did enjoy. I wish I could have checked out the inside more other than running in to the restroom. What I did see were rustic wood floors. Small bar. Extremely cozy charming tables full of people enjoying themselves. Looking forward to going back soon!

The FREE biscuit beignets for joining the "coop" were really a half order... didn't mention that in the email. And they were not beignets, they were quarter size biscuits buried in powdered sugar. Eggs Benedict... absolutely no flavor to the Hollandaise sauce. Their cheese grits were grits with a sprinkle of coarse grated cheese on them. The grits had NO SALT ... how is that even possible? Over easy eggs were not done, sausage patties the size of a quarter and burned black all over. Please invest in some noise dampening!!! Half full in a hall and we couldn't hear each other sitting across the table. By the time we left it was packed to the gills with people standing around the check in desk so deep we had to fight through the crowd to leave. One way in and one was out. One and done!!!

This place is an odd mix. The menu has items that are falsely advertised, the service is mediocre,…read moreand if you're sat near the door, it is very windy every time the door is opened. I ordered the waffle in the screenshot and it is definitely NOT as advertised. The dough is standard waffle dough. I didn't expect the entire waffle to be made from cookie dough, but I did expect something special with cookie dough mixed in, as it does say "Freshly-baked cookie dough Belgian waffle topped with cookie dough bites". That expressly states the dough has cookie dough in it, and it does not. I got a regular waffle with cookie dough bites on top. It wasn't BAD, but it wasn't SPECIAL like advertised, and it CERTAINLY wasn't worth the upgrade price over other sweet treat items or regular waffles. The rest of the food was pretty good (the waffle was ordered to share, along with other primary meal items such as Benedicts). I just don't take kindly to false advertising.

I'd say their offerings are somewhat average for a meat and three type restaurant. The veggies being a bit uninspired, but a decently cooked/palatable country-style meat offering. Service is casual and congenial, but not always as warm as one might expect in the Deep South. Atmosphere is not a strong point. Order for pick up! Quick and easy.

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.

The drive through the Mentone area is always beautiful and there's lots of cool studios and artsy things to do in the surrounding area. I will say they absolutely delivered on the Alice in Wonderland theme. It's wall-to-wall memorabilia, decorations, and cute ideas that allude to the classic story. If you're an Alice fan...definitely check it out. I wouldn't mind a few more Cheshire cats, though. :) Service was okay, honestly a bit disheveled and didn't seem in the best mood. We arrived early for lunch around 11:15. They initially sat our party of 3 at a table with chairs for 8-10. My mom even asked if they were sure they wanted to put us there and they affirmed the decision. They seemed confused that we were there and unsure what to do with us, even though I don't think anyone else who came in after us had a reservation or anything. Anyway, about 5 minutes later a giant party rolled up and they wound up moving us anyway. Fortunately we hadn't gotten drinks or anything yet. Due to the large size of some of the furniture pieces, navigation around the restaurant can be a little challenging. Also, the chair I sat in at table 2.0 had a sort of musty smell that I didn't love, lol. Minor nitpicks but it does sort of add up. Anyway, we placed our orders for food. They have a nice menu for teas and I'm sure it would be fun to have a tea party here, but it was too hot for me to partake. My mom got the biscuit BLT, my dad had a turkey wrap, and I got the chicken and biscuits, which is a bit like a chicken pot pie without bottom crust. For sides, my parents got the baked potato salad and crunchy pea salad, and I got the southern hot corn casserole. The sides were definitely the high point. The pea salad was crisp and refreshing and the baked potato salad was creamy and flavorful. My corn casserole wasn't terribly spicy but had a nice blend of flavors and textures, though it was perhaps slightly overcooked (the cheese on top was approaching crispy). They also didn't initially bring it out with my meal, but got it quickly after I asked for it. The entrees, however, fell flat. Mine was probably the most successful but it was ultimately pretty bland and there wasn't a whole lot of chicken in the meal -- mostly biscuits and gravy/filling. My mom's bacon in her BLT was very badly overcooked (even for someone who likes crispier bacon) and the biscuits were pretty crumbly. And my dad's turkey wrap was super underwhelming, about like what you'd buy pre-prepared from the deli section at Target or something. I sound like I'm coming across harsh and I wouldn't say we had a bad time, just the food didn't really meet our hopes/expectations. Definitely delivered on theme and decor. I think it's worth a try if you're a huge Alice in Wonderland fan or just enjoy whimsy in your life. The menu is creative and breakfast offerings sound good; perhaps it just wasn't quite our day that day. I'm glad I got the chance to try it out though.
