The Old Greenbrier Restaurant
27028 Old Highway 20, Madison, AL 35756
Since 1950, The Old Greenbrier Restaurant has served Limestone County with classic Southern hospitality and comfort food that keeps generations of families coming back. Family-owned for more than 70 years, the restaurant is known for menu sections called “From the Barnyard,” “From the Pond,” and “From the Seven Seas.” Guests flock to longtime favorites like barbecue, fried chicken, farm-raised catfish, fried shrimp, oysters, and seafood platters piled high with Southern staples. Located near Interstate 65 in the Greenbrier community, the restaurant remains a gathering place for church groups, celebrations, family dinners, and travelers passing through North Alabama. For many locals, eating at Greenbrier is more than a meal. It’s tradition.
Mildred’s Restaurant
17768 Alabama Highway 53, Ardmore, AL 35739
At Mildred’s Restaurant, Southern comfort food still rules the table. This longtime Ardmore favorite has earned a loyal following thanks to hearty meat-and-three cooking served with consistency and care. Daily specials often include fried chicken, hamburger steak, country-fried steak, mashed potatoes, butterbeans, turnip greens, cornbread, and homemade desserts. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with regulars filling tables during breakfast and lunch throughout the week. It’s the kind of place where servers know customers by name and where the recipes feel tied directly to the community itself.
