It seemed clean enough and comfortable. You come in and order at the counter. They have a larger menu than I really expected. They have bbq dishes, hamburgers, and some daily specials that change up from time to time. I believe they also do steak at night. The service was adequately friendly and they delivered my food to the spot I chose to sit. As I often do when I'm unfamiliar with the bbq at a restaurant, I chose to order a loaded pork potato to be on the safer side. They gave me the choice of "solid or liquid" cheese, which I eventually figured out meant shredded cheese or cheez-wiz. I'm glad I picked solid lol. Somewhat interestingly it also comes with jalapeños and banana peppers, unless told otherwise. That's kind of unusual. It came out quickly. It was decent to look at but pretty disappointing all around. First off, it seems like a large potato, but when split down the middle, the actual toppings (meat, cheese, butter, jalapeños and banana peppers) were actually fairly sparse in their distribution. It was fairly dry and definitely needed more butter (or ANY sour cream). I'm thankful for the presence of the jalapeños and banana peppers because otherwise it would've been pretty bland. The pork had a slightly acrid quality to it and was dry and stringy. I tried a little bbq sauce and it was okay, but too sweet even for me - and I say that as someone who loves sweeter bbq sauce. Overall, this was a pretty unimpressive visit, but perhaps their other offerings are better.

I found a place to pull over safely and made the five minute walk back As soon i walked in I could smell and feel that my instincts were right. The gentleman who took my order was very accommodating, putting together a sampler platter that was not on the menu I got the ribs, brisket and pulled pork along with the beans and slaw Heavenly They were all perfect It was 11:30 in the morning the meats had probably just come off the smoker. It tasted like that every bite was moist and juicy and the just the right amount of smoke flavor Yes the brisket had a little fat on it but where there's fat, there's flavor If you don't appreciate that, order it lean I've been all over hunting for great BBQ if it's been in the news, I've likely been there This place was is as good as any place I've been to in the last decade The proprietor was delightful It was evident that their heart is in the place Hours later I'm still full and still very happy about my meal I did not try to smoke macaroni and cheese which is apparently their specialty. They also look to have some very good desserts. I will try all of those next time Yes I will be back thank you for a great meal and experience

The baked beans - not what you'd expect (in a good way). They're not sickeningly sweet and have a little zip to them (and good helping of smoked pork added). We weren't crazy about the yellow slaw, just not our thing. But it might be yours. Today we got takeout, but this place has a dining room that seats plenty of guests, has great views of the lake, and the service is really great - the young woman who took our order was as kind as could be. Bring cash (there's a charge for cards - seems to be more and more common these days). And, bring an empty stomach. I couldn't eat all of my ribs, so my son (who was born hollow) finished them off (as well as his sister's). The next time we come we will dine in - I'm looking forward to that.

Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 I was looking for southern cooking and found it at 50 taters. Now when I heard "50 taters", I imagined a pile of 50 tater tots smothered in cream cheese, bacon, scallions, butter, etc etc lol That was not the case. These baked potatoes are HUGE. I mean, these potatoes are getting all the love they can get to grow to these massive sizes. I got catfish and it was perfectly seasoned, flakey, and had a nice crisp texture. It wasn't over oily/slimey. Really good catfish. Hubby got the chicken fried chicken which was thick and juicy, other orders included the steak specials and the Rueben. The waitress asked everyone to cut into their steak to make sure they were cooked correctly. They weren't (lol) but it was an easy fix as we swapped steaks haha Now, I am by no means a southern food connoisseur...but I know the food here was good. Hush puppies were delicious. I don't normally like slaw, but the slaw was good. Oh! And the prices! Great! I thoroughly enjoyed my catfish plate here. Service was very friendly and helpful.

I love visiting…read morerestaurants off the beaten path. :) About 10 minutes north of Scottsboro, this little place feels like home when you step inside. Honestly, it sort of looks like home from the outside, too! There's a sweet memorial for a dog who has passed near the front door, honoring their favorite spot, which I thought was precious. Even though I popped in only like 35 minutes til close, I was welcomed warmly and not rushed. Their menu has American classics like hamburgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, hot dogs, onion rings, fries, etc. It seems like burgers are the main attraction here, though, so I got their take on a mushroom and Swiss burger (my fav) and some French fries. The sweet tea I had to drink was perfectly refreshing and quite sweet, just the way I like it. I do remember thinking the total was a touch high for a single patty, fairly thin burger, but it is what it is. At least it was clearly fresh and high quality, which is much more than you can say for fast food. Like I said, food was cooked fresh but still came out to me in a timely manner. Heck, the fries were still so hot I burned my mouth a teeny bit! I was just trying to eat and get out of their hair before closing, so my bad there haha. Frozen-fried crinkle cuts but they were nice and crispy. My biggest complaint about the whole experience was the salt was sort of just thrown on them in a pile at the top. So a few fries were extremelyyyyy salty and others not at all. The burger was, as expected, the star here! Cooked about medium-well, it was still plenty juicy despite the relative thinness of the patty. The mushrooms and Swiss cheese were so buttery and melty together. They add bacon to their mushroom and Swiss and honestly I could take it or leave it. Some of it wasn't as crispy as I prefer, and I think the mushrooms add the extra savory punch so bacon makes it a little heavy, but I'm honestly nit picking here. It was a very yummy burger. I very much enjoyed myself. This is the kind of spot my folks would love, so I hope to bring them back in the future, and also to come try the delightful-sounding Moon Pie banana pudding!

When we drove up the parking lot was nearly full. Always an excellent sign. We walked in and were told to seat ourselves. We did. The waiter filled our drink order and gave us our menus. He promptly took our order then we waited. I ordered ten wings with half the hot wings, and half the Korean bbq. As my side I ordered the chips with cheese and bacon. This isn't fast food folks. It took a little bit. The wings were very good. Both flavors were very well done. The chips were a good side. I will go back. It was a good meal with good service. It's worth the stop and a little wait. Try it.

Well, this evening we were in the area and decided to try our old fav. Ther may have been 3 other tables seated when we arrived. After 40 minutes I asked the waitress to check on our order. She said she would but they were extremely busy. When the food came the wings were smaller than the end of a fork. I mentioned this to the waitress immediately. She laughed and said we got a different wing order. I voiced my displeasure at checkout and the owner said she knew the wings weren't right but they were supposed to have given extra. Did you count em she asked, I said yes you can go count the bones yourself. She gave me a $2 discount and said they would be better next time. I said there won't be a next time. Unbelievable

It was rarely a family event when we didn't make it to Tate's to pick up pulled pork. If you want a sweet sauce, this is not really your place. This is truly a hole in the wall, and the hours are limited, and not always followed (the only reason it doesn't get a 5 for me), but the smoke flavor is better than most of the big name places. It was so nice to enjoy our 3 pounds we brought home and had on sandwiches for the fourth. It tasted like home. To the owners of Tate's-I have never found another place that does it quiet like you do. This is the best. Only advice-call ahead! This way you don't miss them! Hope to see you next time I am "home."
