Looking forward to trying the Yellow Hammer on our next trip down. Few weeks ago we did try in Alex City a new Mexican food place called Carlos. It is approx. a block in from Cecils. We also tried another Mexican place called El (or maybe it is IL) Portal. It is on I believe Cherokee Road next to the Buick/Pontiac Dealership. We had lunch in both places, and the food was excelent. Carlos has a slightly nicer decor, but El Portal may of been a buck or two cheaper. I would go back to either. Carlos appear better set-up for a larger group. Then there is JimBobs which is over close to the Movie Theater. Most know it is a chicken place and specializes in chicken fingers. I actually thought their chicken wings were better than their excellent Fingers. All of the above places where inexpensive and casual. We also tried the Blackened Catfish at Cecils (supposedly one of the top 100 dishes in the State of Alabama). In my personal opinion it was barely edible. Way to salty. I have had other dishes there that have been OK but not exceptional in my opinion. The atmosphere and decor in Cecils is rather nice.

Would like to hear of favorite catfish and Barbque places. Cottons was OK . Lets all add to the list for everyone's benefit.
