Use to stop here often for the live music, good food and good priced drinks but it felt different this time. First deal they shut the upstairs off no biggie but now there is only one pool table which good luck trying to get on because the locals seem to take it over and make it a point not to really let you on it. I ordered the hot honey wings and 2 wings were still raw…. Now I’m not much of a person that complains if my food isn’t done correctly, I usually just bring it to somebody’s attention and move on but I felt attacked when I wasn’t even making it a big deal, I was being told that they were completely cooked even though one was so bloodly and raw it didn’t even look like it touched a deep fryer and I was told “im just tripping and drunk”…. sure 2 beers and a shot in and im now to “drunk” to know when poultry isn’t cooked properly. Now they did offer to drop 2 in the fryer for me to make up for it but I did refuse. Then the bartender who I won’t name but not just another pretty face seemed to not know the price of a banquet and a shot of crown because one second I’m being charged $4 for a beer then $5 and $7 for a shot then $9, but when I went to the second bar in the front on the right as you walk in she charged me $4 for a beer and $7 for a shot and didn’t even hesitate with prices. I was kind of confused when the back bar proceeded to keep upping the price on my drinks… The bar is still a great stop and amazing music and still good food my other past experiences here have been amazing, but i myself will probably pass on it a now on during my travels.

I stopped by as I was passing through Alabama I’m sure glad I Stopped. I had the 10 oz steak juicy and perfectly seasoned and cooked no need for steak sauce, had the baked beans so flavorful with hints of jalapeño . Lastly one heck of a cocktail ! The staff were all so friendly , the cook came out to ask us how we enjoyed our lunch ? Delicious was our reply .

Went for Halloween. What happened to the contest. Apparently the judges walked around. Didn’t tap everyone and then all of a sudden there is a winner….some of us never got any info on the contest. Could have been a bit more organized.

Got stuck in Pell City on a Friday night. Didn’t want to sit at motel so I went exploring. Found this bar and the huge parking lot was full.
I am really glad that I did. Place was awesome. Rock and Roll upstairs. Country down stairs with a great band. Karaoke in another area. And pool hall on the backside.
So if you ever find yourself in Alb. on a Friday night. Dee Fords is your place.

TL;DR – Good food, good music,, excellent service, friendly staff. Beer prices are a little high.
Staying in Talladega overnight for business, my coworker and I ventured out here this past Thursday around 6pm. We were the first patrons of the evening, it seems. The kitchen was not open right away. No problem. We each ordered the $10 hamburger steak special, and I had a few beers.. We played pool while we waited for the kitchen to open and our food to be cooked, which didn’t take long. I’ll admit I got sticker shock when they told me Miller High Life was $4/bottle, but where else are you going to find a meal for $10 these days?
The food was delicious. Hamburger steak was tender and nicely seasoned. Potato was baked to the right consistency. Side salad and Texas toast were a nice touch.
Staff were friendly and attentive. We talked with the owner and the servers a little bit.
House band was ready after our meals were finished and one more game of pool.The full band wasn’t there– just the singer, guitarist, and bass player. They played classic country, took several requests, and had good banter. They seemed to be enjoying themselves.
They do allow smoking, so if that bothers you, this may not be your type of place.
Had a good time and will be coming back next time we’re in town.

First time… hear alot of things about the food… so first impression walking in was the in the face odor of cigarettes.. was not expecting that .. no windows – ventilation to air it out
It is actually a bar…
Food was ok.. not any different from what you cook at home…
except the cornbread….cornbread was burnt on bottom and was not even browned on top…

When the stars align and I’m passing through here and can stop, I always visit this bar on the weekend. It’s like a step back in time from the good old days when bars and clubs were actually fun. They have great live music, the staff is great, Lots of parking, not many places around like this place anymore. And it’s a whole Lotta fun. If you’re a trucker and you got extra time off, it’s worth a visit. You’ll come back.
