Fork Yeah, Enterprise! Big Flavors, Small Town Charm & A Whole Lotta Good Eatin'

With its brick-lined walls, candlelit tables, and the gentle clink of wine glasses echoing through the room, Corks & Cattle feels like a secret dinner club tucked into downtown Enterprise. But there’s nothing hush-hush about its reputation—thanks to Chef Zaine Young, this upscale steakhouse and wine bar has become a cornerstone of the city’s dining scene.

The new seasonal dinner menu is a feast of bold flavors and elegant presentations. On any given night, you might find dishes like grilled filet mignon atop portobello mushroom, paired with sun-dried tomato green beans—rich, earthy, and absolutely picture-perfect (literally—it’s on our cover!). The flavors here don’t shy away: smoky, savory, and layered with care.

Seafood also shines on the spring lineup, with standouts like Seared Scallops over risotto or Blackened Grouper with mango relish. And if you’re craving comfort with a twist, their Smoked Gouda Mac or the Bone-In Pork Chop topped with bourbon apples might just become your new obsession.

Of course, wine is more than a footnote here. The carefully curated list includes familiar favorites and bottles worth exploring—each handpicked to complement Chef Young’s thoughtful cuisine.

The setting strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting, ideal for date nights, anniversaries, or just treating yourself to something exceptional. It’s a place where every detail matters, from the char on your steak to the pour in your glass.

With every dish, Corks & Cattle reminds us that small-town dining can be every bit as refined, memorable, and mouthwatering as anything found in the city. And with a menu that shifts with the seasons, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to revisit—again and again.

The Butcher’s Daughter isn’t just a deli—it’s Enterprise’s go-to for bold sandwiches, gourmet groceries, and good vibes.

Trust us, the portions are generous, and the flavor is unforgettable.

The menu is full of creative twists on comfort food classics. Local favorite? The Brisket & Bacon Jam sandwich—stacked high, dripping with smoky-sweet flavor, and served on fresh-baked bread that holds up to every bite. You’ll also find premium Boar’s Head meats, crisp veggies, and scratch-made sauces and spreads (like their fan-favorite pimento cheese!) that turn every sandwich into a standout.

Beyond the deli counter, The Butcher’s Daughter shines as a boutique market. Inside, you’ll find shelves stocked with take-home freezer meals, curated wines, locally made snacks, and small-batch gourmet finds perfect for gifting—or keeping. It’s the kind of place you can run in for a quick lunch and leave with dinner, dessert, and a bottle of wine.

And speaking of sweets—don’t skip dessert. From rich brownies to rotating seasonal treats, everything in the bakery case is made in-house and dangerously delicious. Perfect for rounding out your meal—or sneaking home for later.

Tucked just off the beaten path in Enterprise, The Barrel Room is where comfort food gets a global glow-up. Founded by Chef CJ Kay, a military veteran with a culinary soul, this cozy eatery has quickly earned a loyal following—and it’s easy to see why. CJ’s journey through food began while serving in the Air Force and later working for the Army, which took her across the globe. “One thing everyone has in common is food,” she says, and her travels through Japan, Portugal, and Italy shaped the flavor-forward philosophy she brings to the menu. At The Barrel Room, familiar dishes are made fresh and exciting, and unfamiliar flavors are made approachable.

The result? A warm, inviting spot where locals gather to share a plate—and a story. Favorites include duck fat grilled broccoli (a far cry from your typical side veggie), house-made compound butters infused with ingredients like black garlic, and pastas with flavors straight from Italy. Every element is thoughtful, from the seasonings to the service.

“Our food should make people feel like going out is worth it,” CJ explains. “Not just for the meal, but for the atmosphere, the hospitality, and the chance to meet up with friends.”

Despite being open only two years, The Barrel Room feels like it’s been part of the fabric of Enterprise forever. The space is intimate, the team knows their regulars by name, and local support has been a driving force behind its success. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s a gathering place where culinary creativity meets community.

Whether you're sipping a wine flight, diving into a flavor-packed entrée, or just enjoying the laid-back vibe, The Barrel Room makes every visit feel like coming home—only with better butter.

When it comes to bold flavor, Southern hospitality, and the perfect pour, White Oak Ale House checks every box—and then some. With a scratch-made kitchen, a full bar, and 55 beers on tap, it’s no surprise this lively Enterprise favorite has become the go-to spot for everything from casual dinners to celebratory nights out.

The menu is built to impress, offering something for every taste and every budget. From elevated seafood entrées to hearty burgers and pasta, every dish is crafted with care—and often a creative twist. One of the stars? The Macadamia Mahi, crusted in toasted macadamia nuts, perfectly seared, and finished with a delicate pineapple rum glaze. It’s a taste of the tropics served over a warm bed of rice pilaf.

Looking for heat? Try the Smoke & Fire Pasta, a bold blend of andouille sausage and grilled jumbo shrimp in a spicy cream sauce, topped with cheesy ravioli.

This dish doesn’t just bring the fire—it owns it.

And for burger lovers, the legendary Apache Burger is a must. Topped with Wagyu beef, Applewood smoked bacon, habanero bacon jam, and their signature Apache Cheese, this best-seller has held its crown for three years running—and one bite tells you why.

Don’t skip dessert either. White Oak’s Vintage Recipe Sweets are made in-house using traditional techniques and premium ingredients. These nostalgic treats are the perfect sweet finale to a flavorful feast.

Whether you’re pairing your meal with a local craft brew, a creative cocktail, or just enjoying the welcoming atmosphere, White Oak Ale House delivers a memorable dining experience every time. It’s a place where big flavors meet big-hearted service—and everyone leaves full and happy.

Warning: one bite of a Hello Chonky cookie, and your dessert standards may never be the same. This small-batch cookie biz based in Enterprise is baking up massive treats that are just as bold in flavor as they are in size—and locals can’t get enough.

True to its name, Hello Chonky’s signature cookies are thick, gooey, and totally over the top. Think of them as dessert’s answer to a gourmet burger: indulgent, satisfying, and just a little bit outrageous in the best possible way. Whether you’re into classic flavors like Chocolate Chip or ready to take on their rotating lineup of creative combos (yes, we’re talking about you, Stuffed S’mores and Birthday Batter Banger), every cookie is handcrafted with premium ingredients and baked to order.

Founded on a love for baking and a desire to bring joy one cookie at a time, Hello Chonky isn’t your average sweet shop. You can find them popping up at markets, delivering preorders, or selling out online drops faster than you can say “double fudge.” And their playful branding and social media presence only add to the hype—because dessert should be fun, right?

These cookies aren’t just chonky—they’re crave-worthy. Perfect for sharing (but no judgment if you don’t), gifting, or treating yourself just because, Hello Chonky has become a local dessert legend in no time.

Pro tip: follow them on Facebook or Instagram to keep up with the latest drop dates, flavors of the week, and where to snag your next sweet fix. Because once you go Chonky… you don’t go back.

Where Four Generations of Flavor Meet True Southern Hospitality

If you ask a local where to find the best meat-and-three in Enterprise, chances are they’ll point you straight to Cutt’s—and with good reason. This family-owned gem has been serving up classic Southern comfort food for nearly 60 years, and it’s still going strong, four generations in.

What started as a little country store and snack bar run by Hubert and Pearlie Bell Cutts is now a full-blown community staple, known for its homemade flavors, cafeteria-style service, and come-as-you-are atmosphere. Every weekday, folks line up for a hot plate of Southern goodness—choose from five rotating meats and a bounty of 13 vegetables, all made from scratch and served with a smile.

Favorites like fried chicken, pork chops, pulled pork, and chicken fingers hold their own next to sides like butterbeans, turnips, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and—of course—sweet corn and peas. And don’t even get us started on the cobblers and pies cooling in the back. If you’re lucky enough to stop by on dressing day or when they’re serving meatloaf, fish, or shrimp, you’ll understand why folks plan their visits around the weekly rotation.

But no trip to Cutt’s is complete without ordering the iconic Cutts Chili Dog—a beloved creation dreamed up back in 1967 by Hubert, Pearlie Bell, and their son Larry. It’s so legendary, it landed a spot on the Alabama Tourism Department’s list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama.

Today, the Cutts tradition lives on through Larry and Ellen, their son Rick and his wife Lianne, and now grandson Ashton, who runs the show. What hasn't changed? The sweet tea, the friendly faces, and that leave-full-and-smiling kind of contentment that only comes from a truly Southern meal.
