$4-$9 Entrees
City Cafe', in nostalgic, downtown Northport, AL is a charming, welcoming meat and three. When you arrive, you will see a line a mile long, stretching from the back of the first room, across the second room, and into the third room. Don't let this deter you. Go to the back of the line. Enjoy the curiously random photographs lining the walls. You will have a table within five to ten minutes. Don't ask me how, but it's true. Although the atmosphere can be somewhat frenetic, it usually does not hinder the enjoyment of the slap-yo-mama-good food.
The fare would be worth an even longer wait than the one you'll experience. While the catfish passes muster, the turkey and dressing, which is served on Thursdays, is my personal favorite. The fried okra is perfect, but the fried green tomatoes leave something to be desired. Their sweet tea can't be beat. (To all you yankees out there: Sweet tea is not hot tea with sweet 'n' low.) City Cafe' has an extremely loyal customer base. This is because they put crack in their food.
One of the best things about City Cafe' is the price tag. They are very inexpensive by current standards, ensuring a regular college crowd. The friendly waitresses provide efficient service. City Cafe' will have you singing the words of the Taylor Grocery
