Food here is a good value. I like some dishes better than others but I find that overall it's a good spot to eat at. Servers are nice and they try hard to keep your drinks filled.

Nice local place that had surprisingly good sandwiches and great tasting fried shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their food. They offer a special every day and my meat (shrimp) and three were delicious. Definitely a stop again tyoe place.

The Burger Man used to eat there a long time ago, and today my wife and I decided to stop by and have lunch. We both got the Cajun Turkey Club Samich, and they are awesome. Fresh toppings, great-tasting turkey, and grilled sourdough bread. My wife got the tater logs, and I got the onion rings and they were good as well. So if you are looking for a great samich, you have to go to Galen's in New Hope, AL
