For the second year, the Alabama Tourism Department is
coordinating a statewide Restaurant Week, a marketing event designed to
increase traffic by offering prix fixe lunch and dinner offering which
typically include appetizer, entrée, and dessert at a set price. Twelve of
Decatur and Hartselle’s best restaurants will offer special fixed price lunches
and dinners during the 10-day promotion giving diners the opportunity to enjoy
select dishes at a reasonable price point.
There are no coupons or discount books to buy or bring. The
Alabama Restaurant Week pricing is fixed at $10, $20, and $30 for dinner and
$5, $10, and $15 for lunch. In most cases, the price is per person and does not
include tax, tip and drink.
Participating restaurants include Albany Bistro, Big Bob
Gibson Bar-B-Q (both locations), C.F. Penn Hamburgers, Fite’s Waterfront
Dining, Simp McGhee’s, Vittone’s, Back Alley Bistro, Timbuck2, and Wintzell’s
Oyster House in Decatur, and Elizabeth G’s and Sedona Steakhouse in Hartselle.

Melinda Dunn, President/CEO of the Decatur/Morgan County

those that revolve around a shared dish, a shared table and a meal with people
that you treasure. It is exciting to see leaders in the Decatur dining scene
working together to focus attention on our local restaurants during Alabama
Restaurant Week and continue this effort throughout the year in a new campaign
that invites local residents and visitors to EAT Local, EAT Well, EAT Together,
EAT Decatur. This is a great opportunity for people to get out and experience a
