Sweet tea
You can’t devote an entire article to Southern favorites and not mention sweet tea! Our very favorite is Y'all Sweet Tea! What's yours?
Barbecue
Our very favorite local barbecue restaurant is Johnny’s Bar-B-Q! From the ribs to the barbecue sandwich - we highly recommend Johnny’s!
Fried chicken
There are many chicken places in town, but Guthrie’s Chicken is our favorite! We eat Guthrie’s at least once a week! So delicious!
Steak
Well, it's probably no shock who everyone voted for - it's in the name! All Steak has the very best steak. Bonus: Orange Rolls!
Fresh vegetables
J. Calvert Farms has the best and freshest veggies around! You can find them at their location on Alabama Highway 69 in Dodge City and at Festhalle Farmers Market in downtown Cullman.
Side dish
Hands down, 412 Public House has the very BEST Brussels sprouts! We did not care for Brussels sprouts until we had them at 412 and now we order them every time!
Cookbook
"Mama Sue’s Southern Kitchen!" We love Mama Sue and we are so thankful for this cookbook!
Cocktail
The Salted Caramel White Russian is so fantastic, we just had to include it on our list! It’s a must-try at The National!
Coffee
Karma’s Coffee House! Our go-to favorite is the Kurt Cobean, but honestly, everything there is amazing!
Dessert
Duchess Donuts Bread Pudding at The National is THE BEST! Simply put, it will melt in your mouth!
