Visited for lunch on Thursday and was unfortunately sorely disappointed…read more I arrived at about 12:45 and found a fairly full parking lot. The lot is a little torn up but not too bad. It's easy to get in and out. Walked around to the front and stood in the entryway for a few minutes. Didn't know the protocol since it was my first visit. Eventually, a waitress said loudly from the drink machine to seat myself, so I selected an empty booth near the kitchen. There's a lot of seating inside. I'd say the restaurant was about 1/3 full. Idk where people park when they're at capacity lol. Waitress came over and somewhat incredulously asked if I was by myself, which I confirmed. She pushed a scrap of white paper in front of me and told me to circle what I wanted and she'd pick it up. Eh...okay. It was a limited menu of meat + 3 combinations. They advertise breakfast till 1 as well as burgers and sandwiches but none of that was on there. However, the waitress' demeanor can only be described as frosty, and fortunately I was okay with my choices, so I kept to myself. But a part of me was kind of curious about breakfast for lunch. Alas. She returned with my tea wordlessly and swiped up my slip with my order. I circled a fried chicken breast with "potato patties" and fried okra. The sweet tea was the best thing I had and I enjoyed drinking it while I waited for my food. No refills or to go cups were ever offered though. I will grant the food came out fairly fast...but it also came out cold. Well, the chicken and potatoes were approximating room temperature, but the okra wasn't even lukewarm. My grouchy waitress also didn't give me any silverware and ran off before I could ask for any. I had to hunt down a different, only marginally less grouchy waitress so I could eat my food with a fork. It's a shame the okra was cold because it had a hint of potential; the breading was sort of cornmeal-y and might have once been crispy. As it was, it wasn't good at all -- the cold okra got slimy. The chicken was passable but also not nearly hot enough. The breading also needed more seasoning. The potato patties were...not patties? I was expecting something like a Jojo (small crispy potato round, thicker than a chip) or at least something circular lol, but instead I got two scoops of a sort of whipped potato casserole. This would've also been alright except it was lukewarm and, even worse, absolutely replete with still-crunchy large pieces of onion. Couldn't get a mouthful without them and left with much smellier breath. The one redeeming factor other than the tea was the bread basket: two yeast rolls and a hunk of cornbread. The cornbread was awful (bland and dry), but the yeast rolls were soft and warm and about the only food item I legitimately enjoyed -- even though, once again, my waitress left me hanging with no butter. I really couldn't wait to get out as I felt terribly unwelcome, so as soon as I ate what I could stomach I went to the marginally less unfriendly waitress and paid at the register. The price was decent (~$15 before tip). I did still tip, but I was salty -- legitimately some of the worst service I've had in a long time. I'm forgiving of long wait times and forgotten stuff, but I really don't like callous attitudes when I do my best to be pleasant and accommodating. Definitely wouldn't return. 2 stars because the food was edible and the place was clean enough. The hunt for a decent lunch in Scottsboro continues.

It's small, not much seating, but will leave a huge impact on you!

They told me it was $12.00 and I looked at my acct later they charged me $13.60 They didn't give me a receipt and the sandwich was not good. I would never recommend anyone eating at this food truck. False advertising because their menu and pricing doesnt match what they have. You don't even get a drink with the sandwich. Such a horrible experience and they did my friends the same way. Staff is very short with you. It is a waste of money and time, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Also, it's a van they work out of and not truck.

Came here with a gigantic work group for lunch about two weeks ago. Glad they were open on a…read moreTuesday. There's an easily accessible parking lot and the interior of the restaurant is impressively large, so it was easy to accommodate our whole group. It has a little bit of a warehouse feel still honestly, not too much of a coherent "theme," but it was clean and that's about all I personally require. Of note, there's a salad bar, which I know is a somewhat rare dining feature nowadays sought after by many people. Several in my party were thrilled to see it. Service was decent, definitely a little on the slow side though to be fair such a large group certainly might've been overwhelming. They did a good job making sure all our checks were in the correct order. Friendly enough, though noncommittal when it came to making recommendations or describing dishes in more detail. Overall, acceptable. I remember chuckling because someone asked about the chicken tenders and whether they were fresh or frozen and our waitress replied she was pretty sure they were frozen. Definitely appreciated the honesty lol though it's a bit disappointing to hear. Anyway, we ran the gamut on food, it felt like -- little bit of everything. The most popular order was definitely the Philly sandwich; that's what I got. Other orders included the endless salad bar, the smash burger, the fettuccine Alfredo, spicy cauliflower, and I think one person even got the oysters. I would say the food was also just okay. Due to the size of our party, I didn't hear comments from everyone about every item. Again, the salad bar was super well received. The smash burger was good, too, or so I'm told. For my Philly cheesesteak, I thought they skimped a little on the meat and what meat was there was tough and super thin -- reminded me of Steak-Umms. Despite the other toppings, it just wasn't as rich or flavorful as I expect of a cheesesteak. The fries were frozen then fried but at least had a nice little sprinkling of seasoning, salt, pepper, etc. The person who got the fettuccine alfredo was pretty unhappy; there wasn't much chicken in it and she said the noodles were beyond overcooked. She didn't eat even half of it. Overall, I'd rate this place as pretty average across all dimensions, with some strengths and some weaknesses. The salad bar and large, welcoming space were definitely the highlights for our party.

They have almost anything you could want, but our go to items start with the sausage rolls (we buy them by the dozen) and wrap up with the donuts. They make everything themselves which means you get it while it's fresh or you find that it's gone. And their people are so friendly.

It wasn't busy at all so I got to chit chat with the friendly barista. She helped talk me through a few drink options and I decided on a brown sugar latte. The drink was so good I had almost finished it off while waiting for my blueberry scone. Not that they took long, I just kept sipping! The scone came out hot and covered with icing. Highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth. It was a little too soft and ended up being very messy (grab a fork if you order one). The coffee shop itself had good vibes with a modern/minimalistic approach. Lots of seating if you have a big group or just need a place to work or read. I'll definitely be visiting again if I come back this way!

We also shared a basket of the fried mushrooms, my mom used to like them, but most places use tempura batter, which she does not like. These mushrooms are flour battered, and are scrumptious! Now my wife had a BLT and a cup of chili.
