The fried green tomato salad with pepper bacon vinaigrette is one of the best salads I’ve ever had! Service was excellent. So happy have such delicious food in Southside, AL.

First time trying but won’t be the last. Had lunch and it was delicious! Catfish was fried perfect. Hushpuppies and fries were awesome. Gumbo was some of the best we have ever tried!

JP and Son is our favorite place to eat. The food is always amazing. This time I tried a new menu offering, the French Quarter Fries. I will definitely order this again. My favorite side item is the candied jalapenos. Delicious!

While traveling home to Cullman from Lincoln we stopped Saturday night and had supper. Everything was great. The family enjoyed the food and the service was great. It was funny Sunday when we saw the Alabama Living Magazine and realized that’s the place we stopped. Congratulations on being featured.

Had dinner. Ordered the gumbo, catfish basket and banna pudding. Wife had shrimp cakes. Meal was fresh cooked. Gumbo was regular gumbo, not seafood. Chicken and sausage, lots of rice. Ok, but a bit thin, not the best sauce. Two med sized fillets, plus small oder of fries. It was good, not great. Shrimp cakes mostly breading, not much shrimp. Banana pudding was different, nice pudding. Two small pieces of banana on top. Service good. Spent $48.00. Very overpriced for what we got.

Amazing to say the least! When you can get a catfish basket to go and when you get home and sit down to eat and the catfish basket tastes just as good as if you were there eating it (I live probably about a couple of miles from this restaurant). You know that they gotta be doing something right

This place has a great for family vibe, delicious food, and service that would put any other restaurant to shame. It’s definitely a must if you are in the area or even if you are up for an adventure. JP and staff will treat you like family the moment you walk through the door! If you are curious…. DO IT!!!

10/10 – Our new favorite restaurant! My husband and I ate here for the first time last night and can’t wait to go back. Our server was so sweet and the food was amazing. I could eat there every day and love the convenience that it’s here in Southside!
