What you get brought to your table is a 600mL bottle and the best thing you have ever eaten. For a shack, a lot of famous people have eaten there as you can see on the walls and I think Dolly Parton or someone like that used to take her private helicopter, land on the lawn and run in for some ribs.

While your at it, check out the University of Alabama, what with its Joe Namath statue and old cotton mansions-turned-frat houses.
You might also want to stop in at Carrolltown, AL where you can see a ghostly visage in the window of one of the upper windows of the old courthouse. It dates back to when a black prisoner, staring out the window at the mob about to lynch him, was killed when a bolt of lightning struck the building. An image of his face appeared in the window after that, and no matter how many times they replace the window, the face reappears. Spooky.
