Pearl Addie's Cafe - Bay Minette

We stopped for lunch passing through the area and this place is worth the trip off the interstate. Great food, especially the fried chicken and macaroni and cheese and exceptional service, at prices you won't believe. I only wish it wasn't over 9 hours from our home so we could come back.

This was my third time ordering with them. The two previous times have been good experiences with customer service and the food. This third time has made me not to want come back anymore. I placed a to go order for fried chicken, fries and okra and was told it should be ready in 10 minutes. I started heading to the place as soon I get off the phone placing the order. I get there within six minutes and paid for my food and began waiting. I was told that there was “a hold on the chicken” after waiting for 10 minutes. While waiting, i see the waiter bring out plates of chicken to other customers. I was thinking my wait was almost over until I inquired again about the wait after 10 more minutes went by. I was told again that there was a hold on the chicken. I patiently waited 30 minutes for my to go order and received a dry “sorry about that” from the employee working the to go window. The manager or owner didn’t seem concerned about me waiting so long for a to go order as she kept passing me to assist other customers. I asked the employee why the wait was so long and I seen them bring out several plates of chicken to other customers. She told me they have to make the customers that “dine in” food first basically. I should have just asked for my money back. Never again will I go back.

Strange experience...food was like they served it off a buffet.

Drove all the way from Irvington alabama to eat here today. And the brown sugar pork tenderloin is probably the best I've ever eat. It was like this twice 3 months apart. Highly highly recommend this place.

Great food. Country atmosphere. Open seating. A little pricey but not awful.
