Locals have been frequenting the Cobb Lane Restaurant since World War II. Occasions are seemingly more special when they're held at Cobb Lane! Famous for its rich she-crab soup and consistently topnotch food, it's a popular spot for either special occasions or simple dining. Relaxed dining with superb service. Dine either inside or outside, depending upon the weather and your preference. Reservations suggested.

A bit of romantic Europe in the middle of Alabama! Chez LuLu serves gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, and salads along with sinful dessert selections like crustless cheesecake, bread pudding du jour and seasonal pies. The decor pairs mismatched tables and place settings with some very interesting artwork. Open later on weekends. Be sure to stop in on Sunday for brunch.

Hungry either early or late, you can find great deli fare at the Diplomat. Over 500 different wines and beer are available. The tables are situated in the middle of what appears to have been a convenience store at one point. From ties to tie-dyes, this is a popular spot with the locals. The service is great!

DOWNTOWN. When the subject of Alabama legends comes up, Dreamland should no doubt be mentioned in the same breath as George Wallace, Bear Bryant, and Bo Jackson. Known far and wide for their sinfully delicious BBQ ribs, "Big Daddy" Bishop and crew took a simple concept (ribs, their signature sauce, and a few pieces of white Sunbeam bread) and, over the years, developed it into something that can only be described as down-home gourmet. Rustic decor, historic signs, and old photos decorate the walls, recreating the character of the original Jerusalem Heights location, but the food truly steals the show. As the saying goes, "Ain't nothing like' em nowhere!"

More than just a sandwich shop, Franklin's offers a variety of pastas, sandwiches, salads and more. The grilled chicken roll-up with vegetables, served with a side of bowtie pasta is extremely tasty. Perfect for take-out if you don't want to prepare a meal at home.
