Be careful trying to order alcohol here, even if your ID is real they might deny you service and tell you they think it’s fake, and instead of handling it properly whereas normally in that situation, they should call the police (and would of been proven wrong) They just denied us alcohol service and still took our food order.

Just moved here, found this place online thought it looked great, got there sat down, got greeted almost immediately our waitress was extremely kind (I unfortunately didn’t catch her name but she was brunette) she asked if we would like drinks, we ordered and she checked our IDs seemingly no problems and she walked away to put in our drink order, a minute or two later another lady came over ( blonde, didn’t catch her name either) and she demanded to check our IDs again, we complied she checked them and walked away seemingly no problem. Then our waitress came back saying they wouldn’t serve us until they got the machine working to check our IDs, we patiently waited thinking it’s probably just because we both have out of state IDs and they just want to double check, they come got our IDs to check on the machine The machine does nothing, doesn't say their fake just does nothing. The manager then made our server break it to us and tell us they are suppose to confiscate our IDs but they decided not to. We will not be returning due to how the situation was handled and the fact they made the server tell us instead of handling it properly.

Edited to add: I 100% understand strict laws but I suggest getting an ID reader that can read ID’s from all states, neither my nor my Fiancés ID has that black strip because we aren’t from Alabama originally nor a state that has that on their IDs, not all states ID’s have that black strip, my ID is from Kansas where I was born and raised and they have two barcode looking things on the back not a solid black strip. While I think they should all be at least similar so the DOB is in the same place on the front and being scan/swipeable on the back but that’s not up to me. As well as it being unacceptable for management to make the server handle the situation, by giving us our IDs back and saying “we should be confiscating these and calling the police, but we’re being nice and decided not to.” To which i replied “do it, call the police they will prove our IDs our real” but nothing happened. Why say the police should be called to confiscate our “fake IDs” but not do it, I think because that knew our IDs were real and wanted to discriminate against the lesbians in whatever way they could while still getting some type of money from us. The police don’t scare me, I’m not doing anything illegal. I also don’t appreciate you continuously calling me a minor. I’m a grown adult, just because your ID reader can’t read IDs from states that don’t have the black strip on the back doesn’t automatically mean it’s fake.

We should have walked out when they finally told us they wouldn’t accept our IDs but we had already ordered our food and I didn’t want to be rude to the server and waste her time, I felt bad she was put in that position so we stayed but unfortunately the food wasn’t very redeeming either. Either way the server should not have had to handle that situation (we tipped her very well as she was very kind and apologetic for the way her manager handles the situation). The managers job to manage situations like that so the server doesn’t have to, but the manager just kept glaring at us from behind the bar instead of getting up and being a manager he just sent the server back and forth so he wouldn’t have to talk to us. At one point I even told the server to send him over and I would talk to him myself but he never came over.
Simply put I will never return, nor will I recommend this restaurant to anyone, I might go as far as to discourage people if they say they want to try it.

Come to experience Alabama redneck biker bar culture with ridiculously loud music inside and outside, don't expect to eat fast, get big portions, or good value or quality for the money. Definitely a bar that serves food NOT a restaurant with a bar. The food is good not great but took 45 minutes to get burgers, chicken fingers and nachos. Chicken fingers were burnt. The staff was nice enough and let us move tables because the bikers outside were showing off how loud their bike sound systems were - quality atmosphere. Our waitresses were sweet and sympathized with the chaos all around us. If you want great food for the money, go to one of the many other burger and barbecue places in the area (ie Good Ole Boys).

I think I’ve tried almost everything on the menu. The turkey plate with a sweet potato and some broccoli is my favorite! I am so appreciative that we have this restaurant and the good vibes that come with it! 💚 all the waitresses are friendly and welcoming. But I’m partial to Libbie because she is like another child to me. I sincerely appreciate the big portions and the atmosphere. Thank you for bringing this great restaurant to the sylacauga area 🫶🏻

we sat for 30 minutes on lunch break and got no food when we asked the waitress to check on how long it would be they don't even have a ticket. I guess lunch is just sweet tea today!!! the girls are too worried about running their mouths instead of taking care of their customers 🤬🤬🤬

Always a delicious meal and always great service

Went there last night for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was so sweet and so nice. There were a couple of hiccups due to their ticket system going down and missing an item and stuff coming out at different times but the food was sooooooo good I didn’t even care. Their alligator bites were so flavorful and delicious and so were the fried shrimp. The shrimp were big and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back again. Thank you for an awesome experience

Our onion blossom we ordered to eat before our meal actually came too late to eat any of it. It wasn’t our waitress that found out & finally turned it in, this young lady had her own tables. The tea was perfect, not sweet as Milo’s lol. Going back for meal & music and hopefully 5 stars on my next visit & handicap parking available.

Parking: I have handicap sticker. None were available but my walk to door wasn’t too terrible

Traveling thru and this place got decent reviews so we stopped here for dinner. Food is mediocre at best. Service is very slow and forgetful. Waited over an hour and a half for burgers. Music turned up so loud you couldn’t even hold a conversation with the person sitting beside you. Horrible experience. Won’t ever go back.

It was a late Saturday night and huddle house was closed amd plus I wanted wings so I hit up Bandits and they did not disappoint. I got mild wings and fries and that mild sauce is so good and just like it was when they were J.R.s off of 280 by Hardee's
