We love this place. We come from California (Northern California, relax) to visit family here in Section. This is a must stop for us everytime we come here. The steaks are perfect and I have yet to have a meal I didn't love. We will continue to keep this place a tradition everytime we come to town. All I can say is have a little patience with the wait staff. They get busy, for good reason. read more

I love everything about this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The humble, quaint, and familiar aesthetic makes me feel right at home with family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always greeted and seated in a timely manner, bread and salads come out quick, and drinks are always filled up promptly. I really love the steaks here, I've tried the ribeyes, filets, and prime rib. I am willing to say that these are the best steaks I've EVER had in my life. The crust, the sear, the seasoning are AMAZING!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Steakhouses don't have to be big and elegant buildings people! I would put money on OGS in a competition.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really enjoy that you get your picture taken but a sweet older gentleman and can later retrieve it on their Facebook page. What a gem this place is read more

Loved the people, the food and the sweet server. Really good family runs the place. I'll go back.

Best steak ever! Juicy, layers of flavor, and so tender I didn't need a knife. The service was great and our waitress kept our tea glasses full. Also, it might be good to note they give a 10% discount if you pay in cash! read more

Wonderful dinner-- great steak! The staff was super sweet and so nice of the owner to come around and see how you liked everything. We will come back! read more

I don't care how good the food is if you have to wait over an hour to get seated THEN wait another hour and 15 minutes to get your meal! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was so packed on Saturday night, the only thing our server could say was "the grill is backed up".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I ever go back, it will be on a Thursday to avoid the crowds. read more

The food was excellent! We were greeted by the owner and he circulated and checked on all the patrons frequently. Our server was poor. Barely checked on us. Brought warm drinks. We waited forever for our food that actually ended up having to be brought out BY the owner. We would go back, however, because I believe our server was the exception not the norm. read more

I'm your Burger Man, and I am here at the Ole Gin Steakhouse, in Section, AL, and scoring their burger for them. It was a good burger. Fresh and the Pretzel bun added an extra touch to the burger. This place is known for its Steaks, desserts, and other great dishes. If you haven't eaten here, add it to your bucket list with a pocket full of money. read more

Each time we have been here, the Owner greats us in the parking lot and spend the evening going from table to table greeting and making sure everyone is satisfied. The food?? THE BEST steak ever! Cooked over an open hickory fire and perfect! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lovely and the Staff are awesome![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't eat desserts, but they look amazing!! read more

Ole Gin Steakhouse - Ribeye cooked medium with skillet fried potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Section, Alabama

WOW, what an amazing meal. My wife and I and four friends ate here for the first time on mother's day and omg was it good. I'm talking really good. Best steak I've had in a while, so juicy and flavorful and cooked to perfection. Great mashed potatoes and salad. My wife got the smoked pork chop and I tried a bite of it and I have to say wow again, so delicious. And their homemade desserts were amazing and so good. All our friends were going on about how delicious their food was too. The waitress did an excellent job waiting on us with the place packed out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I even liked the way the place looked, just an ole gin with a concrete floor and rustic hand made tables out in the middle of no where.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved it and highly recommend you try it out. read more

AMAZING!!!!! Everything was perfect . Steaks was cooked to perfection. Sides were great. Dessert even better. read more

Very friendly, good serve, food was very tasty and worth the price, definitely an old gin feel. A little gem on County Road 38

Probably the best steak I have ever eaten. We each had the 12oz. Ribeye and they were cooked just right, the dinner salad was very fresh, baked sweet potatoes were melt in your mouth delicious and the fried mushrooms were an excellent appetizer. The servers were great and the owner came to our table to greet us and checked on us later also. We drove 55 minutes one way and it was worth the drive. Bring cash and get a 10% discount on your bill. The building was once a cotton gin and has a lot of character on the inside. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Middle of no where. But very homely feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great. People are friendly. Started with the mozzarella sticks, probably frozen then fried. Salad was a normal salad Had the Ribeye with fries. Fries we below ave but steak was good. Cooked right. A little crispy, but good flavor. Solid meal read more

Heard about Ole Gin and have been trying to get up there to check it out... one word - Fantastic! Breanna took GREAT care of us and made sure everything was perfect - even the GF/DF needs of the wife! Owner (didn't catch his name) came by and is a super nice, down to earth good guy - you can tell quickly talking to him, and it trickles down to his employees! The steaks were extremely delicious- very good flavor and cooked perfectly to our request. Baked sweet potatoes were the best we've ever had! The decor/ambiance is a step back in time! Oh, and it's truly an old cotton gin, 100% metal building, so NO cell signal! Made the experience even better! read more

Ate this evening (8/29) and it was a really great experience! Everything fried was crispy but not greasy (excellent hush puppies!) and the steak special was a great value. Service was on point, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the entire place has a relaxed home style vibe our family appreciated[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. In my opinion the star of the show wasn't my steak- it was the peanut butter pie! Definitely some of the best I've had. We'll definitely be making a return trip to check out a few other items! read more

Ole Gin Steakhouse - Main Entrance From Parking Lot - Steakhouses Near Me - Section, Alabama

Was attending a conference up in Guntersville when one of my colleagues suggested this place. So, we all decided to get dinner there. Even though the place was hard to find, we eventually arrived. The service was top notch and I had one of the best ribeye steaks I have ever eaten. I mean the kind where you don't need any sauce!!! I definitely will go back next time I am in that area. Great place to relax and eat. read more

We absolutely loved our food! It was delicious! The steak was so tender and juicy, the sweet potato was the best I've ever had. We will be returning next time we are in town. The service was outstanding as well, we were well taken care of! A great environment. read more

Great steaks. Appetizers very good and plenty of it. Large "side" salad..tasty. Restaurant is an old maintenance bar/shed....big and open. Smoke rising into ceiling and wafting smells of cooking making you hungry. Steaks were excellent! Wonderfully nice owner darting around welcoming each table, taking pictures with his phone, and helping out as needed. All in all, ambience great, staff friendly and helpful, food excellent. Don't expect high end city fine dining, just damn good food! Oh, my wive had the blackberry cobbler and said was the best she ever had in a restaurant. We will be back....want to try their catfish and other entrees and appetizers. read more

Delicious Food at a Great Price. The Waitress was awesome and we will be back and highly recommend

If you want to get out into the country, this is as far out as you can go and get a steak done your way and enjoy that chocolate pie. (Note: Have yet to go, these are photos from friends on facebook. Its an out of the way restaurant that unless you know about it, you probably would never find. When I can get the time to go back home, I plan to go with my mom and update/do a full review. I like to support new out of the way locations like this make it onto Yelp as not everyone knows how to add new businesses.) read more

Everything was just excellent, great service, excellent steaks, and great atmosphere. It not on the main drag but it was just a 10 minute drive from Scottsboro. If you like a great steak, this should be your destination. We will definitely visit here again on our travels. read more

The meal was amazing, because the steaks was so good. Can't say enough about how tender the steaks were.

Finally made it to the Ole Gin to eat! It was very pricy, but on my goodness, the grilled Mahi Mahi was the best I've ever had. Hope to go back for that soon! Also got the loaded side winder fries as an appetizer and they were very good also! read more

We ate at The Ole Gin for my birthday Friday night. The food was fantastic as usual. Jessica was our server and she was also awesome. Two visits to the restaurant and both times were perfect. We've been taken care of by Shanna and Jessica now and both were perfect. You owe it to yourself to try em out, The Ole Gin..... read more

I didn't get a picture of the food but OH MY GRACIOUS! Our group literally all had the sampler platter, pimento dip, ribeye, mahi mahi, and burger. Don't sit on the pimento dip! It was absolutely Devine especially with the sausage. The sample platter has a little of everything all fried- the fried pickle spears were my favorite but the fried corn was good too. I didn't have any of the biscuits but our group faved about them also. The mahi was cooked perfectly and juicy! The ribeye, yall! It was PERFECT. Perfectly cooked and so tender. The owner was very friendly and greeted us. Our waitress was super helpful and prompt to any of our needs. Seriously do not turn this place away. read more

This is a very good restaurant with very good waitresses and very welcoming people. The food was amazing but to me it was a little overpriced. read more

Country as country can be. The food was great but service was a tad slow. Interesting set up. Very friendly staff. Worth the drive

Great food worth the drive!! Great waiters and Atmosphere . Ready for another Road-trip to get a Great Steak and Delicious Desserts

This is a superb steakhouse that happens to be in an old cotton gin shell of a building. It's rustic and great for families, the folks that take care you are a family, it just works. Do not let location and atmosphere fool you, this is a big city quality steak they are delivering on a plate to your table. Me personally, I love the building and decor, it's real and rustic, makes you feel good, other items beyond steak are great as well but the steak, it's what's for dinner!!! It's so great I even bought 2 (the last at the time, more on the way soon as well and hats) of their T-shirts to help spread the word! read more

Food is great especially the steaks. My mom loves their chicken fingers. Service is great also. The owners try to visit every table and make sure you are well fed and taken care of. Strawberry shortcake is a wonderful end to a great dining experience. read more

Drive about 45 min to come visit this place. With extended family. We waited about 20 min to be seated. Food was , good but I did not feel it reflected the pretty high prices for this area. Fried green tomatoes were good. Best part was dessert strawberry short cake and chocolate Bundt cake. I would like to add while a appreciated the authentic untouched old gin interior, it was dusty inside and I was tore up by mosquitoes while eating. So wear bug spray and if you are sensitive take benedryl. read more

It was very very cold inside the resturant. The service was fantastic, parking limited. The price of the steaks were a little high. The menu was was quite limited. The catfish was very good as was the desert. The salad at $2.69 was disappointing. The one thing that bothers me is children (child) should not be allowed in the kitchen actually stirring the biscuit batter. I am sure everyone who lives in the area will find it great as it's the only resturant around. Hopefully they will get all the kinks out soon. read more

Food was VERY good. I got the kabob & a brownie for dessert. Wonderful! Everyone was so friendly! Great atmosphere. Loved it

Restaurant is nice, great people working there. Food is ok the steak and burgers always over cooked but tasty! Peach cobbler delish! I kept going back to find that dish. Salad was ginormous ok tasting. Mac and cheese was good but ginormous. So if you like to eat portion size is a win win. I don't care for left overs so felt like food was wasted. I did share a burger with a friend but over cooked it again. read more

If you love something that's off the beaten path and isn't a huge chain, you gotta try Ole Gin. It's in an actual old cotton gin. The staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the shrimp & grits, that's what I get almost every time I go. My fiancé has the steak and really enjoys it. Definitely give them a try! read more
