Claunch Cafe

Quaint little restaurant inside of Spring Park in Tuscumbia. The trip into the park provides wonderful views of the falls and you can walk to the falls from the restaurant.
They’re only open from 11 – 2 to serve diners. The rest of their business is private parties and catering.
They ONLY take cash or check. No debit or credit.
They have a rotating meat and veggie menu as well as a full time lunch specials menu full of sandwiches and salads. All of the meat and veggie plates I saw looked really good.
I had heard numerous praises for the pecan chicken salad plate which comes with fresh fruit, a slice of lemon tea bread, and a concoction called frozen fruit delite.
Now I have to say this wasn’t the best chicken salad I’ve ever had but it was still pretty good. The chicken was shredded, the celery was a little chunky, there was just barely enough mayo to keep it all moist and together, I didn’t really taste any onions, no fruit in the mixture but pecans. I hope that will tell you whether it’s your style of chicken salad or not.
The fruit was plentiful and the good stuff, strawberries and grapes mostly. The tart flavor balanced well with the chicken salad.
The tiny slice of lemon tea bread wasn’t quite enough for me to tell you if it was good or not.
BUT THE FROZEN FRUIT DELITE… it was delicious! Strange as it is the best I can compare it too is a fluffy strawberry ice cream with small bits of strawberries, pineapple, pecans, and coconut. It sort of seemed like all of that was mixed into a cool whip base and frozen. I don’t know but it was good and a perfect ending to my meal. I did notice that for the meals that don’t come with it there is an upcharge for substituting this addictive item.
They were pretty crowded even though I was there for a late lunch. Even when I left they were close to closing time and people were still coming in.
