Rattlesnake Salloon

While visiting family during Thanksgiving my brother decided to take us to a little restaurant he had found out in the middle of nowhere. It was the Rattlesnake Saloon. We traveled over 60 miles to get there and there is nothing within 20 miles of this place.








Upon arriving in the parking lot shown we waited for the "Saloon Taxi" shown below to take us to the restaurant.

 We were driven to a gate and down a narrow trail, the first 200' or so seemed like an impossible slop to navigate in a pickup, here the trail had leveled out a little and we descended in a open cave where this place had been constructed.

At the bottom we unloaded

 Here is the Saloon/Restaurant nestled in the cave.














You can see some tables here outside. The food was good and the prices reasonable.

 The front of the Saloon.

 We ate outside, there were tables inside as well as out but we sat and ate with thousands of tons of rock over our heads.










Here is a picture looking straight up to a tree on the edge of the cavern over our heads.
 The Rattlesnake Saloon is located in NW Alabama not too far from the Mississippi and Tennessee lines. Below is the menu, it was an adventure worth having.
 How can you go wrong naming a burger after the "Duke"
