We have been told of this place for years and ate here with a large group of Seniors. The place is only open a few days of week and you must get there early to get a seat. You pay as you enter and it is about $13.50 apiece. I had the fabulous salad bar (lettuce salad was chopped-yeah) and there were homemade pickles as well as homemade pickled beets (yummy). The steam table had meatloaf, sliced ham, chicken livers, fried chicken fingers, country fried steak & gravy, various fried vegetables-fried okra, zucchini, corn nuggets, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, squash casserole which was very soupy, brussels sprouts, green beans, dressing, and other vegetables. It came with a dessert bar which had soft serve ice cream and some lukewarm cobblers , The coconut cake and german chocolate cake were very good but the rest of the food was just good. The biscuits and bread items were served in a warm box but were just cold. If portion is the name of your game, enjoy but the food tasted just average to me and my husband. We definitely would not wait in line for this place again!!
We drove from Brownsboro, worth the drive. Food is good and folks are friendly. Very busy for an off the track place. We will definitely come back!
The BEST in Alabama. Hidden off a little side road halfway between I-65 and Moulton is a great little family owned Mennonite restaurant. They are ONLY open Friday evening 4:30pm to 8pm and Saturday 10:30am to 8pm.
The food is SO good. All the food is made fresh in the kitchen and Grandma Yoder came out to tell my wife how to cook brussel sprouts. We found it based on someone telling us about it. Come hungry and expect to spend about $8 a person. You can't go wrong with this as a Satuday afternoon destination.
My only complaint is the hours they are open. Food was great coming from a small resturant. We were seated quickly. The food was hot with a good variety to choose from. The desserts were good as well but the "homemade" ice cream wasn't what I am used to. Will go back.
If you should find yourself in Danville, AL, do yourself a favor and plan to head to the Mennonite owned Old Cookstove and eat lunch with Grandma Yoder. You won't be sorry, because this grandma knows how to cook up a spread. Recently we drove to Oakville to the Chickasaw Trails cross country meet at the Jesse Owens Park and Oakville Indian Mounds. On the way home, we took a little detour in Danville to visit Grandma Yoder. We were just a few minutes before opening, so we waited on the wide porch for Grandma to let us in. When she did, we went straight to the front counter to pay and be seated. At the Old Cookstove, you pay before you are seated. For adults the cost is $11.99 and includes an all you can eat hot buffet, salad bar, dessert bar and homemade ice cream. If you are lucky, you might get treated to some Mennonite tunes while you eat. Occasionally Grandma Yoder and family get together and entertain their guests with a few acapella hymns. On the hot buffet, I counted at least
