Damn Yankees

Will not go back. They charge $ 1 to process a credit card payment and claimed to give a discount for cash but did not. This is absurd. The waitresses were talked to like dogs by the owner. That is unacceptable. We will not be back or recommend anyone else to go.

You never know what you’re going to get service wise. The price tends to vary based on whoever is working that day. They charge extra if you use a credit or debit card too. Despite his awful reputation, Dave has wonderful food. The deep fried filet with gravy and rosemary potatoes is probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life. It’s delicious and genius. It’s really a southern comfort food and should be on a list of things to eat in Alabama (alongside Classic on Noble’s shrimp & grits). I work nearby and the lunch servers aren’t the greatest. It takes a while, prices aren’t consistent, and they’re not always friendly. It may be a different story for dinner — which I’m not familiar with there. There is always good that goes with bad, and this establishment is no exception to that rule. I do think you need to try the food though!

Excellent food and a fun atmosphere. Always stop when I’m in town. Must visit and get one of the specials.

My parents and I had the opportunity to get out of Atlanta for the day during our trip to the south and wanted to peakbag in the Talladega mountains. After about 14 miles of hiking I had worked up quite an appetite. Damn Yankees was well-​reviewed on Unilocal,so we planned to eat there after the hike. We were not disappointed! They were pretty busy with the pre-​trick or treat crowd (we were there on Halloween) when we arrived. No worries though. We took a seat and browsed the menu.
My dad had the grouper (catch of the day) and my mom and I both had the shrimp cheese grits. We all had sweet tea of course! I have never had better grits in my life and I make it a point to eat grits everytime I travel to the south. My dad loved the grouper, cleaned his plate! The waitress was very friendly in spite of being busy and we had a chance to meet the chef/​owner after the meal. Very cool guy!
If you are peakbagging in the Talladega mountains or just passing through on I-​20, do not pass this place without stopping in. It’s easily the best meal of the trip and likely the best meal I’ve eaten in the south to date! Thank you for an excellent dinner for this trio of Damn Yankees!

We are from California and were in Atlanta on business. My husband and I have a goal to see all 50 states before we die so we decided to drive to Brimingham. It was late and the weather was bad so we stopped in Heflin looking for a place to have dinner. Thank goodness for Unilocal and the great reviews! We LOVED it. I have the boursin cheese stuffed filet, beer battered and chicken fried steak. My husband had the stuffed oysters. The sweet tea was a southern treat and we loved the garlic bread. The staff was very sweet and the owner Dave has true Southern hospitality. As you are driving down the highway… this is a great place to eat!

Wow! What a great surprise. My Dad and Mom had stopped here on way to Bham from Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. They couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was here. I just stopped by for lunch with my Dad and wife. Very clean restaurant. Just a cool place to hang out and eat great food and grab a beer or whatever you like. The staff was very attentive and the owner was very friendly and took care of us with food specials and drink specials. I will plan stops here every time we go to Atlanta. I wish I had this restaurant down the street from me in Bham! Awesome!

My husband and I were passing through Heflin and decided to stop here base on previous Unilocal reviews. What a treat. Fresh fish, wings, all delicious. Service was great and staff was friendly and very helpful. It looks like they have live music on the weekends. If you are ever in the area check this place out. I wish I could take them back home with me.

This was the best place in Anniston before it moved. New location is a bit tight on space and ambiance but the food is still great.
If I were only reviewing the fettuccine alfredo this review would need to be 7 stars. I almost always order this for the value. $ 7.99 for the entre +$ 1 for a salad +4 for shrimp. Hard to beat the price anywhere and twice as tasty.

I liked my meal and the service, but this is a casual establishment. My fried oysters were cooked to perfection. The price was not inexpensive ($ 17, I think), so if you expect a lot of atmosphere for this price, this is not the place for you. But I liked the food and the service, and I will go back. Sandwiches were more moderately priced, seafood was more expensive, but I believe they are serving a high quality seafood. This establishment is right on I20, so this is a good stop for a traveler, and much better than anything we have tried in Oxford.

Great place! I had the ribs and they fell off the bone. I recommend this place for a relaxing, casual evening.
