I'll take a Big Boy Platter with an extra Big Boy. Always ordered that when I was a kid and Shoney's was actually a good place to eat.

Great timing! Oh, those were good (except for that cherry ... always tasted fake to me.)
I say great timing ...
I just got off the phone with my cousin who is coming into town for The Bridge Run ... she asked to grab a bite Friday night at East Bay Deli. I said okay thinking, at worst, I'd grab a slice of their cake.
$10 bucks for a slice of their cakes... takes me at least two sittings it's so damn rich.

Know what you mean. Stanfield's in Sheffield has the same problem with some of their cakes and desserts.
O.M.G. Yes!!!

Alright Purl, I’ve never heard of this Stanfields. What’s the scoop? Pardon the pun… And where is it located? Got a trip back to the Shoals coming up in May and might need to put that place on my list.Know what you mean. Stanfield's in Sheffield has the same problem with some of their cakes and desserts.

Going North, it's past the intersection of E 2nd street and Woodward over the railroad tracks, going into Sheffield, on the left past the Clarion Inn. The guys I work with said they believe it use to be an Outback Steakhouse, it was here when I moved to the area a couple of years ago.
If you turn in at Chucky Cheese you've gone past it.

Yep! Was an Outback, then Dreamland. Figured it was still empty.
Side note… that Clarion was originally a Holiday Inn and a pretty nice one. I was in there for a school chorus event when we beat Florida in the first SEC CG back in what, 1992? A few of us would sneak into the bar area between acts to check the score.
My mom had a little clothes store on Woodward, east side, just below your photo. Something else in there now, maybe a HVAC company. Man, the good old days!

This was the only time I'd eat vanilla ice cream as a kid.
My dad always ordered that meal and still does at any place that serves liver and onions.
Brian Stanfield is the owner. I have known the family for many years. Brian's dad and my home literally grew up as neighbors in the Sweetwater area of Florence, Cherry Hill particularly. They also own the Stanfield's at McFarland Harbor, below O'Neal bridge. Good place to eat.
Me, too. It's my go to every time we're in Foley at Lambert's.

Fresh seafood shop there by Papa John's. Singing Waters Seafood is some count when you want to grill it yourself.
I am coming home next week to visit my parents Easter weekend. Hopefully, we will be eating at one of the two locations.Yes.... River Bottom Grille by Stanfield's....
When we visited Gulf Shores two years ago, that's exactly what he ordered.
