Newbern's Restaurant offers top-notch food and service, making it a staple of the small town of Florence, AL. Whether dining in or taking out, customers can expect delicious, hot, and fresh meals served by friendly staff. The famous pond-fed catfish dominates the menu, with meals that are fried yet never greasy. The catfish is crisply coated, featuring a flaky interior and a flavor that stands out from typical river fish. A medium plate offers three catfish fillets, a side of your choosing, hushpuppies, and slaw, all of which can be enjoyed with sweet or unsweetened tea. While the ambiance could use an update, the charmingly friendly service and homemade, scrumptious dishes like catfish and French fries with a golden crisp make it a highly recommended dining spot. Customers have expressed a wish for the return of the whole catfish dinners, as they remember the unique experience of breaking off the fins and enjoying more flavor. Newbern's is a bustling yet casual roadside eatery, efficiently family-run and as Southern as one can get. Vegetarian options are limited, focusing mostly on appetizers, chicken fingers, and a few sandwiches. Whether driving south on HWY 72 or just visiting, this restaurant is a gem not to be missed.
