Tonight, the plan was to find a great burger and see some Christmas lights….well, this place served up one heck of a burger! As soon as you walk in, it smells like an old time cafe. Staff is super friendly! Jamie served my daughter and me. Fried pickle fries are a must. I don’t know where this ranch is from but it is the best ranch I’ve tasted. The bacon cheeseburger, well it was tasty and huge! I could only eat half!! Onion rings delish!! Curly fries—YES!!!! Cheesecake…..if you don’t get it you will regret it!! This is what a real American cafe is supposed to be like!!! Big applause! One of the best places I have ever eaten!!

Wife and I stopped here today as we visited the local state park. Staff was friendly and service was excellent. Wife ordered the BLT, fried mushrooms, and corn nuggets. I had fried livers, curley fries, and fried okra. Both meals were prepared fresh and came out piping hot!! The cafe had great southern charm and was very clean! A must stop if you are in the area!

I’m writing this in the car after literally just leaving the restaurant. The food was great beyond expectation.
There was obviously a wait for the food but even my picky child said the wait was well worth it!
It was fantastic. Large portions, inexpensive options, friendly servers, everything you could hope for in a small town restaurant.
We got fried pickles as an appetizer and got an ENTIRE BOWL of fried pickle strips.
Lastly, get a pie! You will not be disappointed. I personally recommend the lemon pie!

One of the 3 best burgers in Alabama!! Can’t begin to describe how good, but the burgers are hand pattied to order, the lettuce and tomatoes are exceptionally fresh. The staff is very friendly and the setting is old school country diner 10 out of 10 experience!!!!

This restaurant is not much to look at on the out side but don’t hesitate to go inside.
A quaint little place, very clean, the staff was very nice and helpful with the menu.
They have plates with lots of vegetables that are fresh made, not from a can. The pinto beans are wonderful and fried okra was cooked to perfection.
Definitely get the bacon cheese burger, fat juicy hamburger topped with tons of bacon lettuce and tomatoes. Yum. One thing I will do next time is ask to skip the mustard and ketchup when they bring it out, only because it is so big I had to cut it in half to eat it. FYI: Put your condiments on after it is halved.
The Baby bakers are little whole potatoes that are deep fried and are delicious! Like little baked potatoes. With some ranch dressing they melt in your mouth.
I had to try the chocolate pie. Just like my grandmother use to make with three inches of homemade meringue browned on the top. This is real chocolate pie, nothing instant about it. If you like chocolate don’t pass on dessert, get the pie.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The staff was over the top friendly, they even came out of the kitchen to visit. We will make the drive to eat here again.

2023: When we come to the Longest Garage Sale in early August of each year we always stop at the Big Time Cafe in Dog Town, AL. During the sale weekend the place is usually packed so it is best visit during the mid-morning or mid-afternoon hours in order to get a table right away. The cafe offers a variety of foods, but i can only comment on the hamburgers and fries because that is what we always order. Warning, the burger patties are thick so unless you are really hungry and can get your mouth around a very thick burger, get the single patty instead of the double.
2024: As usual, we stopped again off of the Longest Garage Sale route at the Big Time Café. As is our cousin, my wife and I both both had hamburgers and fries. My wife got the regular hamburger while I got the large one, but at least I wasn’t foolish enough to get the double patties on the large one again. It plenty to eat, even for a big boy like me. It was all delicious even though fries could’ve been left in the hot oil just a little bit longer.
2025 during the Longest Garage Sale we stopped again at the Big Time Café. My wife had the hamburger steak with fried squash and little potatoes as sides. I had the large hamburger which came with french fries. My wife really enjoyed her meal and had to ask for a box to take the uneaten part of it home. I am wise in the ways of the place so I knew you enough not to go for the double patty hamburger, but even the large single patty had at least a third of a pound of brown meat. It was excellent, and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft from the inside. Oh, by the way, the Diet Cokes we ordered came in a huge Dr Pepper glasses. We always enjoy our yearly lunch at the big-time Café.

This place serves the absolute best burger—hands down! When I say the best, I truly mean it. You won’t find a better one within 100 miles! The meat is perfectly tender, incredibly juicy, and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is just as amazing, with friendly waitstaff and welcoming customers that make you feel right at home. I can’t get enough of this place and will definitely be coming back again and again!

The tator tots and onion rings were to die for, and the hamburgers were good. If they could add a little seasoning to the burgers like all season, a little onion powder, and garlic powder, the hamburgers would be fantastic! The buns were toasted, and all food was freshly made. Overall, everything we ate was very good and we will definitely will go back there!
