“We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid little spot for country cooking.

The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better.

Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread.

Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable.

As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges.

Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.“

“Both of the ladies I spoke with at Cafe 222 were incredibly friendly and so accommodating. Amy truly went the extra mile by creating a beautiful tray filled with their yummy baked goods for me to send to a local business. Since I’m out of town, she generously offered to deliver my order, which was such a kind gesture! I can’t say enough wonderful things about my fantastic experience with Cafe 222!“

“Met a friend in the parking lot and basically we were told to leave as we were on “private property” so our lunch was had elsewhere.. I order DoorDash many times a week and WILL NEVER PATRON THIS RACIST BUSINESS!!“
