I ordered a water to start, but they were out of lemons. A bit disappointing, especially at 10 o'clock, since I always get water with lemon. I usually don't eat much for breakfast, so I decided to just get two hotcakes with a Conecuh sausage link. The food came out relatively fast. The pancakes were delightful. They were light, fluffy, and tasted similar to Cracker Barrel's hotcakes. The Conecuh sausage link was a great pairing. The owner came over to the table multiple times to chat with us, which was a nice touch. Overall: interesting exterior, decent interior, very friendly people, good food, and good vibes. Rating: 3.5/5

I'm surprised I've never reviewed Bertolone's before, I've visited quite a few times! Tucked in the…read morecorner of a shopping center in calera, this family owned restaurant is a real gem. When you walk in, you come face to face with a big cooler full of all sorts of heavenly cakes and desserts. I like to size them up before I sit down so I have an idea of what I want when the meal is over. I usually get the Lasagna Bianca. A bertolone's original, this delicious dish boasts chunks of Italian sausage, a creamy, cheesy sauce, and turnip greens. Rich and satisfying, it can't be missed!! The tables are stocked with chunks of bread and bottles of dipping sauce made onsite. The interior is warm and inviting, with one large wall dominated by pictures of the family that founded Bertolones and Joe's Italian. Please check out this great spot!

Update for 2026: I have visited this restaurant once each year for the past three years, and the…read morefood is always first-rate! The lasagna is awesome, the ravioli is flavorful, and all the ingredients are fresh and delicious. However, the service this year, provided by Amanda, was less than stellar. My dining party was one of only two in the restaurant at about 3pm, and Amanda was terribly impatient with all of us and seemed irritated. Her unfriendly, rushed manner is why I'm updating this review and reducing the rating by one star. So, if you go, expect great food but you might have a poor experience with your server. Original review from 2024: "Stopped at the restaurant after seeing advertising on the highway. This visit was absolutely perfect! Our waitress was helpful answering questions about the menu and food. She even allowed me to try a sample of the soup before ordering. That was awesome! I tried the lasagna and I absolutely recommend it! The sauce is delicious! Also delicious was the oil/pesto blend served at the table with bread. That was so tasty, we ordered a bottle of it to take with us!"

There are several specialty shops (outdoor wear and essentials and boutiques) and Pizza and Pint on Main Street. Their specialty, of course, is pizza, and my friend and ai shared the Mediterranean, because of the olives and other favorite ingredients. Along with that we had a glass of Merlot (so it isn't just pints). Our Hostess and Server was the Bartender, and despite the fact that there were about 4 tables already seated, and half dozen sitting at the semi-circle bar, she took care of us efficiently and charmingly.

The seated area is very compact, and it felt like the kind of place you needed to whisper if anyone else was in the room so you didn't disturb them. I got the special which was the Birria quesadilla served with chips and queso. My mother opted for the big back sandwich and my aunt had the soup of the day, a chicken noodle. I also ordered a slice of a gooey butter cake, this was the only downside to my meal. I didn't care for it at all, but everything else made up for it. They also had flowers from the local community garden, if you give a donation you can take some flowers. I grabbed a few as i cannot ever tell myself no to flowers. Great experience will be back soon, i gotta get my hands a quiche soon.

I chose to order my food for togo and enjoyed the view from the facilities. I was pleased to see that my food was cooked to order and was fresh. I ordered the Double Bogey which consisted of two pancakes, two eggs and approximately 4 pieces of bacon. The portion size was enough to last me two meals and The prices are very reasonable. If you're ever in the area, this would be a nice place to try.

This restaurant is located in downtown Columbiana and during the summer every Friday they have live music and some vendors and they close down Main Street. There is parking when they close the street down and we were able to find a spot pretty close to the location. I was surprised we were able to walk in and get a table for two. The place was definitely busy, but there were still tables available. We were greeted promptly when we got there. I got a frozen strawberry margarita that was very delicious. I prefer thinner chips in these chips were a little thick. The salsa was OK as was the cheese dip. My son got nachos with beef and cheese and a side of rice. I decided to get the grilled chicken quesadilla I asked for no peppers, but onions were OK when I got my food. There were peppers in the quesadilla that I had to pick out. The server was running the bar and waiting tables. You could tell he was doing a lot all at once. The grilled chicken just did not taste right I couldn't even finish my quesadilla. The beans were good if I was to go there again I would probably get ground beef or a cheese entrée. I'm not sure if I'll be back if I do go back it would definitely be for the margaritas Because of the events outside, you could see a lot of people just walking to use the bathroom and when I went in there, the toilet would not flush.
