Nesmith's Hamburgers

This is one of those hidden gems that locals love and people who grew up there make time to drop by when they are in town.  The burgers are addictive.  I really like this place.  Two gripes.  One, the burgers have gotten progressively smaller over the years.  I wouldn't mind paying a little more if they would make a decent sized burger.  Two, the usually nice, grandmotherly looking ladies that run the place can be standoffish with strangers.   I recommend giving it a try if you are ever in Moulton.  It is worth it.   On a sad note, when I was a kid, they had an ice machine that made this awesome flaked ice and they no longer have it.

Nesmith's is like the Stagg's of Moulton.

Though this be a bold claim, Nesmith's can back it up.

"Home of the Jumbo Burgers". Hardly.

Their burgers are quite small, but huge in flavor. They add white bread into their patties; this is something I've never seen before.

WOW.

They also have a very unique cooking method. They fry them in a large, flat vat of grease over a burner. This boiling lake allows the small, breaded burgers to bob up and down like a fishing buoy as they are flipped over and over until cooked to perfection.

They're crispy on the outside, but soft and a bit mushy on the inside. Sounds bizarre/gross, I know. But it is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten.

It's a simple town with simple people that like simple burgers. I told them to make it "all the way". That consisted of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and onion.

That's it...

I wouldn't have had it any other way. Anymore, and it would have stolen the pedestal away from the bread-y burger.

You need to check out Neshmith's real quick. It's in downtown Moulton, so off the main drag, that everyone drives heading to Bham, but it's worth the extra 2 minutes spent trying to find it.

(as a side note, they get their stuff from Piggly Wiggly.) How neat is that?  

(Also, bring cash. No plastic or checks.) Yeah, it's old school.
