Pigging Out in Lower Alabama
We have a little place in Lillian, Alabama where we escape for long weekends and some holidays. I don't do much cooking while down there, so we've discovered some great places to eat. Here are some of my favorites.
King Neptunes Seafood Restaurant - the best little seafood place in the area. Southern Living even did an article about them a couple of months ago. Oysters and shrimp fixed any way you like them. Lunch prices are cheap. 1137 Gulf Shores Pkwy., Gulf Shores, AL 36542, phone 251-968-5464 and email neptune@gulftel.com
Green's Ole Tyme Bar B.Q. - a little hole in the wall - great breakfast and a barbeque sandwich that will feed three people. Get there early; it's crowded when the locals arrive. 34291 Hwy. 98, Lillian, Alabama 36549, 251-962-7200.
Crazy Horse Cafe - Winnie is the owner and her daughter is a teriffic cook. Great home cookin' and wonderful ribs. If you drop the ribs on your plate the meat falls off the bones. Look for the sign that hurricane Ivan twisted around and bent. At lunch time, the locals get there early and wait outside for them to open the door. Crazy Horse desserts are homeade by little ladies in the community and they always have about a dozen cakes, cobblers and pies to choose from. The address is 13110 Lillian Highway (Hwy. 98), Pensacola, FL, 850-455-5252.
On the way back home we stopped at the Burris Farm Market on Highway 59 in Loxley, Alabama. The peach cobbler with ice cream is out of this world. It's worth a drive for it. They grow their own produce.
We had lunch at Smokin Joe's Restaurant, exit #205 off I-59 on Alabama Hwy. 68 in Collinsville, Alabama. We've been driving by that place for about a year and always found the parking lot full. We finally got up the nerve to try it. The fried pork chops and ribs are great. Collinsville is about 65 miles southwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
