Seafood Platter
Aj W.

Excellent food and a great new location right next to the interstate at Exit 96. Staff is super friendly, we were sat quickly. Great menu with seafood, burgers, sandwiches, and some special creations. Even hand dipped Hershey's ice cream for the kids. Delicious BBQ - the nachos are a great starter too. Bar area with plenty of big TVs to watch. I hear they are getting pizza added at this location soon too. A great stop between Montgomery and Mobile! Highly recommend.

Stopped here on the way to NOLA with our baby. Solid pick with good food. We ordered the lumpia rolls and the meat platter. The bbq sauce on the table is on the sweeter side. All of the meats were delish. The Brunswick stew was in the more tomato-y side. All in all would stop by again.

Chocolate mouse cake

First and foremost, the food was great! Secondly service was slow we had gotten in at 12:04 on a Sunday afternoon, I get it church crowds and didn't leave til 1:00pm and it was a party of two. Thirdly prices are great for the quality of food. And last but not least, I am not happy when we left the cook got corrected by a waitress and he started yelling and cursing as we head out the door he go more belligerent and I was happy we where leaving cause I felt he was ether going to walk out or spit in my food. It's a okay place. Probably would not go back. I got the ladies pulled pork fries, it did not come with BBq sauce on it I had to add my own came with a side of Ranch. The top of the meal was cokes like they had the meat in the refrigerator then put it on the fries. The need to make sure to through it in an oven for a quick meat warming a cheese melting and then it would have been the best. The chocolate mousse cake was ok I have had better. So yeah.

Brisket, green beans, pork ribs, slaw.

1pm on a Monday not crazy busy, seated right away. Friendly wait staff, got our drinks fast, ordered and food was on the table in probably 5 minutes! Ordered: brisket, ribs, green beans, salad, slaw. Pros: our favorite were the ribs, tender falling off the bone. The brisket had great flavor but more tough in contrast to the ribs and we got more fat than meat in our portion. Green beans were amazing, fresh and cooked like french green beans, salad great as well! Cons: Don't get the unsweetened tea, not good, very watered down. The slaw was ok, a little too much water mayo and sugar for our preferences. Would definitely come back and get the ribs again!

Disappointing Blackened shrimp wrap with fried okra
Meredith G.

Cute place with faux rustic decor. We were greeted and seated right away. I ordered the blackened shrimp wrap with Fried okra as a side. The shrimp were tiny and definitely not blackened, undercooked if anything. There was so much sauce the whole thing was kinda slimy. I ate some of the shrimp out of it but left the rest. The fried okra was great so I filled up on that and had some of my husband's fried shrimp which was so much better but his French fries were cold and unseasoned. I didn't complain to management because we were traveling and ready to be back on the road.

Pulled Pork Sandwich & FF's  Brisket Hash  Plus 2-soft Drinks

Got the: 1. pulled pork & French Fries 2. Brisket Hash Service--Everything was great

Menu pg1

Stopped in, like most, while traveling 65. In a nutshell the chicken was great, the beans were very good and the potatoes and onions could use a little work. Overall, it was a great dinner. I had the pork skins appetizer and they were nothing special from others but did come to the table fresh out of the grease and still popping. They were very large and there was a lot of them. I couldn't finish them by myself. As mentioned, for my entree I had the 1/2 smoked chicken (house white sauce on the side) with beans and potatoes & onions. The chicken only comes in dark and white. They will not do all dark or all white. I'm not a big smoked white meat chicken fan since it's typically dry and chalky. However, this was very moist and paired well with the white sauce. I didn't really care for their red sauce with it but it may pair better with their pork and beef bbq. Next time I'm traveling 65 and need to stop for a bite this will be where I choose.

I was recently traveling to Destin with my daughter for spring break and stopped by The Shack for lunch. Cora was working the bar area and was super attentive, a great multi-tasked and an extremely hard worker! She has a pleasant personality and made my overall experience enjoyable. I ordered the catfish dinner with baked beans and potato salad. I give the catfish a 9 out of 10, I prefer my catfish a bit crispy, so next time, I'll request it crispy. The baked beans were a 9 and the potato salad was a 8 The entrance to the restaurant is super cute! It has some vintage decor (see the photos to view the images) I'd definitely recommend the restaurant! Cora was simply amazing!

Conecuh Sausage - CONECUH CHILI TO GO!

Conecuh Sausage

4.8(100 reviews)

Conecuh sausage is the Southern staple! It was cool to visit retail store near the factory…read more My favorite part is getting to try all the different flavors of sausage and hotdog on the roller bar I came for breakfast, they have biscuits, gravy, grits, as well as all the sausages and toppings Staff is super friendly. I wish I wasn't flying home so I could've taken home some of their bacon and other meats. Definitely worth a stop if you're on the interstate anywhere nearby

Conecuh is absolutely delicious and beloved here in the South! In fact the Conecuh tag line is…read more"True Southern Flavor" since 1947. That's 79 years in business. It's a family run business, and the Sessions family is the family behind Conecuh. The Sessions have been making Conecuh pork sausage over a hickory fire in Evergreen Alabama since 1947. They use the original family recipe to this day and now, Conecuh offers six varieties of sausage including Cajun, Spicy and Hot, and All Natural Hickory Smoked with no MSG or added nitrates. Evergreen is located in Conecuh County, Alabama. in 2015, the Conecuh company produced between 30,000-40,000 pounds of sausage each day! Wow! Well done, Conecuh! As an Alabamian, Conecuh is most delicious in a shrimp and grits dish! I agree with Yelper Friend John M. that Conecuh sausage does "have a great snap when you bite into it and the flavor is outstanding!" Here in North Alabama, Conecuh products are readily available at Publix, Kroger, Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, Star Super Market, and other grocery stores! Conecuh meats, gift items (t-shirts, magnets, yard flags, etc.), and spices are also available on Amazon. It is a huge menu bolster in Alabama if the restaurant's chef adds "Conecuh" to the description of a menu item! Thanks for the deliciousness, Conecuh!
