That grub at Creek Bank sounds super. Love a good gravy-onion steak with fries.

Forgot this one; Jubilee Seafood in Old Cloverdale/Montgomery. Best all around seafood joint I've ever been in. He gets it fresh 4 days a week and the pecan crusted grouper is fantastic. X2. It's better than any seafood I've had at the beach

I've eaten at The Hound twice this year and it is good. Pricey but good. The Pork Belly Sliders are super. Solid variety and the chef(s) are doing some cool things. If they have Osso Bucco and you like that, get it. Nice portion sizes, too.
One quibble: I ordered an Old Fashioned and was asked "traditional or modern?" I asked about the latter and was told it was made with a bunch of mess. Asked for Traditional. They brought out a drink made with carbonated something - soda or water - and a raspberry. Either she didn't hear me or their version of "traditional" is muddled.
Haven't tried Acre yet but it sounds pretty good.
The coffee shop down from J&M is good, as is the Blue Bagel or whatever the name of the bagel place is north of Toomer's.

If you like Mexican, the Taqueria El Cazador "bus" on the corner of Governor's Drive and 9th is really good. That location is about a block west of Blue Plate (which also is good). Taqueria El Cazador has tacos, soft tacos burritos, etc., sodas (don't know about beer), and a good selection. You can get standard beef-chicken-pork or also beef cheek, tongue, tripe and asada, and probably more. The cheek and tongue are fantastic. Two other locations (in buildings) also, including one on South Parkway. http://elcazadortaqueria.com/ Definitely got to try this place!! Thanks for mentioning it.

The burritos are big. I can eat two but usually save one, or half of one. The pickled carrots-onion-peppers that come with it are tasty, too.

Johnnys BBQ in Cullman. They have several good dishes but I almost always go there for the BBQ stuffed potato; much better than anyone else's IMO.
Address
1401 4th Street SW
Cullman, AL 35055
I am not a fan of Johnnys pork but there catfish is really good. They have smoked chicken wings sometimes that are really good too.

I think most of the ones I know in the Anniston area from when I lived there have been covered except for maybe 2 that we ate a lot and still go back for.
1. Carpenettis- it's a little place in a strip mall on 431 across from Saks High School. They have great pizza and calzones but we always went for their "rolls". It was fresh dough laid out with whatever toppings you pick the rolled up and baked. Almost like a homemade hot pocket but then cut into slices when done. We usually for BBQ and onion or chicken, mushroom, and onion. Then marinara or homemade ranch to dip it in. If you have a sweet tooth when done; ask for dough balls. Balls of dough deep fried and rolled in powder sugar and cinnamon. I quit eating Matas when they opened when I lived there. Pizza maybe not quite as good but I liked the rolls and calzones better than pizza anyway. Always start with an order of Focaccia bread!
Carpenetti's Pizza
1021 US Highway 431 Ste 15, Anniston, AL 36206
The other place is Cooter Browns Rib Shack out in Jacksonville. Can't tell you a lot other than I really like their Ribs. To me they were a little different than everyone else's and really good. i always just got a slab of ribs and a drink!
Cooter Brown's Rib Shack
8464 Alabama Hwy 204, Jacksonville, AL 36265
I went to school with the ol boy that runs Carpenettis. Those rolls are very good. They have some Pepperoni chips with Jalapenos and Mozarella that are great. I live just down the road a ways from Cooter Browns. The Wife likes the Brunswick Stew there. Struts in Jacksonville down by the stadium has a pretty good Patty Melt and a few other menu items that are good.

I have a couple of questions that maybe someone can answer:
Cullman: In downtown, there used to be a place called Allsteak. Does anyone know if they are still in business? It has been years since I have been there, but they used to have dinner rolls with a sweet orange glaze on them. Prime rib was good there too.
Mentone: There used to be a place way off the beaten path called Craigsmere Manna. It was a very nice, quiet place in an old 100+ year old house. Anyone know if it is still open?

We went at lunch today. I had the Birria. It was good. We were the only 3 people in there that wasn't Mexican.

For supper it's hard to beat Hickory Chip "out 145 from I-65 peach tower exit toward Wilsonville, maybe 2 miles" for food and service. I like the Buffalo Chip appetizers, Steaks are really good and they have a great catfish plate. They are a BBQ place but I aint crazy about the BBQ.
If you are ever in Chilton County ask for a "Whole" Hot Hamburger with cheese, gravy and onions where you stop, Dari Delite in Thorsby on 31 has the best. It is a local thing unless it finally got out. 2 open faced hamburger patties on bun's with melted cheese, sauteed onions and gravy poured over it with a side of fries. "Straycat Special". When I was in my younger partying days we would go to C.I. Porters truck stop and eat this about 2 in the morning with the local cops, where they got started. It's still great. Hickory Chip served me the best steak I've ever had. Two  if you like a big, thick cut ribeye. Thanks for the suggestion of the Whole Hot Hamburger. I will give it a try. Does the Dari Delight in Clanton serve it as well?
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

QUESTION - Is the Archibald's in Tuscaloosa the one by Academy or up in Northport? I've heard both and seen the one by Academy, but have not eaten at either. When I do I want to make sure I have the right one. Thanks. Turtle, I believe All Steak is still open but changed management and maybe location? We used to go when I was a sprout years ago but I haven't been for a full meal in 15 years, at least. I stopped once during that time for a box of the orange rolls, though.  ts1979flh - I've always figured if an ethnic restaurant is popular with that ethnic group then that's a good sign. The orange El Jarritos sodas are pretty good there, too.

Dot's on main drive in New Hope. Great hand patted burgers cooked on a flat top dripping with flavor. HB steaks with gravy and onions. Chicken fingers and the like. Small place, only seats about 15 but worth it. Shakes and cones as well. Less than a mile from my house Grandmother's House in New Hope Meat and 3 with dessert 3980 Old Highway 431, Owens Cross Roads, AL 35763

I'll second Dot's hamburgers and Grandmother's House meat 'n 3. Both are good.
I haven't had a Dot's artery-clogger in a while. Might need to drop by soon and jam up my left anterior descending for a while. Those are good burgers.
