8/2026 update: Hubs and I had dinner at Southern Table a couple of Saturdays ago. The experience…read morewas more of a 3.5 star rating. I was disappointed because it is rare for us to enjoy a meal out, and Southern Table, to this point, has been my favorite place to have dinner in the entire north Alabama region! I crave Chef Yokley's wood-fired oysters and find this dish consistently filling and delicious as it has been for years! Because Hubs did not want any oysters, I got 2 pairs of oysters on the happy hour menu which were extremely reasonably priced at either $1.00 or $2.00 per oyster. Were they wood-fired? Yes. Were they rich and decadent like all previous times I have tried them? No. Were they small? Yes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a small oyster, in fact my favorite oysters, Murder Points, are typically small, or small-ish. The recent visit, the oysters were way smaller than the shucked shell they were heated in with the parmesan cheese sauce, meaning the cheese overwhelmed and dominated any oyster goodness (brininess) you could have tasted and enjoyed. And, the last of the four oysters had some tough mollusk piece that I actually had to just spit the whole oyster out in my napkin. Either bad shucking or lack of expediting/checking the dishes leaving the kitchen, or both. It was sad. Chef Yokley posts a lot of photographs of his dishes/drinks on Facebook and I had seen his crab cakes with a unique and very interesting sounding salad with citrusy flavored greens and unique berries I had never tried. Well, wouldn't you expect the server to tell you about the specials and describe them? Ours did not. I had to pull up the photograph from Facebook and ask the server about it. They offered an appetizer size of the dish and an entree sized version. I got the appetizer. It was okay. There wasn't as much of a sear on these smallish crab cakes, as I like and the "salad" was more of a garnish, meaning, it would have been nice to have more of the salad than I received. I had to chase down the server to get hubs water refilled (he would have had non alcoholic beer but Southern Table doesn't have any) and to get me a second glass of house white wine. Hubs ordered a wood fired pork sandwich with French Fries. He said it tasted a lot like Lawler's barbecue. He added "and that's not a bad thing!" The sandwich was nothing special, honestly to the Hubs. It will be a while before I return to Southern Table, sadly. I think Chef Yokley needs to step up his expediting game and his attention to detail.

Another great breakfast at another Big Bad Breakfast!…read more I don't really have a favorite thing on the menu because everything I've had is that good. My most recent visit had me ordering the Jack Benny, a little twist on the classic Eggs Benedict. The crispy fried tater hash cake makes the base and it's topped with some thinly sliced ham, wilted spinach leaves, two perfectly poached eggs and some hollandaise sauce. There's some savory ham powder sprinkled over the top of it all. My wife does have a favorite...and hers is their French toast. Three slices of some French bread spiked in some brandy before they're deep fried. They're topped with some fresh fruit (generally strawberries and blueberries), whipped cream and some signature house syrup. It's a tasty treat and I'm thankful that she can't finish it all. Before we hit the road, we each ordered a Vietnamese Big Bad Cold Brew...one vanilla and one caramel. Those were phenomenal! No matter when we go, the service is always excellent! Highly recommend that you stop by Big Bad Breakfast if you're passing through South Pittsburg, TN...and it's attached to the Lodge (Cast Iron) Store right next to the factory where they are made. You won't be disappointed!

This was one of the better BBB experiences yet!…read more Great food! Really great, for reals. No takebacks. There was a small issue that did not sway me in the least. I will get to that in a bit. I had no idea that the Lodge Museum was connected. That is another story for another time. I was just looking for a good place to eat on the way home from Holiday. BBB is a staple around my parts. This one did not disappoint! Bravo! Arrive and C and I sit at the bar. Server is so sweet and a bit in the weeds. She cleans our space at the bar and lets us know when she will be back to get orders. Order and wait. And wait. Then our sweet server tells us she forgot to ring up our order. She lets us know it's comped. It should not be on her I hope. Food comes and it's great! One of the better meals I've had at BBB honestly. Eggs perfect. Portions perfect. Coffee perfect. Biscuit perfect. Gravy Perry. Poached eggs, better than perfect, hash cake good, tomato gravy very good. Yum. I loved it! It ended up free, but was well worth $42. Tipped her well. Loved her owning up to things when they go bad.
