Restaurants near Shelby

“Great food and friendly people”

“This business was started years ago when my grandparents built if from the ground up,, my grand dad built wood boats that was rented at the fish camp many years ago,, my grand mother started the restaurant where I can remember her buying hamburger meat and making her fresh and daily hamburgers back then everything was fresh daily,, the store was located just over from where it is now because the water was backed up and they had to move it,, the cabins were mostly rented on the weekends,, come Sundays we would help my grandmother clean them ready for the next person,, we had a small "Johnson maybe 5 horsepower boat motor" on the boat she let us go out riding mostly just right in front of the camp (with life jackets on) we would fish from the pier catch fish no bigger than your hand,, my grandmother always cooked our fish for us sometimes all bones and eyes but she cooked them for us,, even with the selling the fish camp to others outside our family,, we have always lived in Shelby which is just maybe less than 5 miles away maybe less,, my dad loved fishing my parents put a mobile home on my mom's land joining the fish camp we would go down there and stay ( even just that short distance between we would do this) my mother still owned land beside the camp which she rented lots out on and my family still owns this,, , my grandparents and parents are all gone now but mom's land has been passed down 4 generations now and will continue to be passed on years to come,, I'm sorry this is so so long but when I came across this I could not pass it up without sharing just a few memories that I have made at this place just a few memories but there's so many,, thanks for letting me share ❤️ Kathy Cox”

“We love VJ’s. The food is amazing, and the staff is great❣️”

“Environment was super comfy, Honey Bunny Latte with added lavender was delicious, and they were so kind when my meeting with my doula client went a little longer than expected. Highly recommend! Will go back soon!”

“Always fresh and delicious!! By far the best pizza in the whole area!!!”

“The sushi was enormous and good. The crab ragoons were some of the best I've EVER had, the hot and sour soup was near perfection. We also really loved the "chips and dip" vibes with the fried wonton bits and sauce they brought to the table, it was a unique experience for us and it was delicious.”

“Must stop in! The food was absolutely delicious! The chicken and pork were amazing! The staff was kind and welcoming :) For me, the real winner was the BBQ sauce! Salty, little spice, & sweet!”

“Family owned. Friendly. Great recommendations. Love the new place! Great spot!”

“My 3 sisters and I stopped for lunch today on our way home from Guntersville. I had the chopped smoked chicken...absolutely delicious! The meat was so moist and tender. I even ordered "to go" to bring home. The service was great. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal!”

“Excellent!”

“We ordered a cake for my mom’s 80th birthday. The cake was beautiful and the taste was amazing!!! Words cannot express how much we appreciate the flavor of REAL ICING! AND A MOIST CAKE!!! Such a difference from fondant or a whipped topping. Highly recommend ordering your next cake from Girl Friday!! Thank you very much!! ❤️”

“Shout out to Bella and Sophie! They did a great job tonight handling a packet house!! We had a party of ten and all other tables were full. They worked really hard keeping everyone happy! I do think more staff would be a great idea.”

“I come here very often. The staff is always super nice. Very helpful. They have a drive-thru pickup window that you don't have to get out of your car which I use a wheelchair so it's a lot easier on me. It is usually not busy and even when it is super fast usually within a minute or two. they make it seem like I'm actually welcome and they enjoy helping without making it seem as I am a inconvenience. Even times there are mistakes heres a example there was one time that my pizza was semi cold basically from the driver delivering they are always very professional about it and help they remade that pizza and gave me a order of marble cookies! A lot of times I bring my dog and they are always super excited to see her and her dark purple nail polish they always give her a little thing with a couple of treats I didn't even know was available. I absolutely love this dominos would recommend!! 11/10 ??”

“Great place the bartender was incredible He worked non stop , the food was out of this world”

“This is the most clean subway in this big area. They have 98 in the cleaning inspection! And the staff is super nice and they keep the entire place very clean and organize.”

“Food was tasty and served hit. The brought out the food as it was cooked instead of waiting for everyone's to be ready. This made sure everyone had hit food. The salad bar was very enjoyable. There server took our orders promptly and kept our drinks filled. We will try this local restaurant again.”

“My breakfast plate was wonderful and served quickly. The biscuit i received was something my mother would of been proud of. The lady that served me was kind and polite. Was a good start to my morning.”

“The service was great but the cheesy bread had a slight aftertaste to it. It was good though. Just had that one slight issue. There is no seating available. Ots delivery/carryout ”

“Browning a 16 yr. old young man that works at the Columbiana location was fantastic, he made us laugh from beginning to end!
We will definitely be back just to see him , he himself made our dinner so much better, thank you Browning for all the laughs ☺️ it was really great to meet you!! Hope to see you again soon ?”

“I always go through the drive-thru at this locations. Employees are not overly friendly, however, the food is always good (and correct) so I'm not complaining.”

“There was an older woman with her hair braided on the back of her head, in there tonight on 5/19/25 at 7:45pm and I just wanted to say yall need to give that woman a raise. She had amazing customer service. She was extremely kind. She makes that store great to be at. Greets with smiles! She needs a promotion or something bc she really just made my night. Such a kind woman! I will be returning and hoping she is there!”

“It was a typical road trip stop for a bite to eat. But the cashier was so friendly and kind and simply cared that i was there and made me feel welcomed, almost like a guest in her house ❤️; it made my day. I wish I could tell you her name ☹️.”
