Stevarino's

There are hearty daily specials posted inside and on the sign outside.  Tuesday is prime rib, Wed is baby back ribs, Thurs is 50-cent wings.  The wings were a bit too saucy, and the full rack of ribs was just alright - tender but the rub and BBQ sauce weren't spectacular.  There's an assortment of pastas and standard American restaurant fare.  Stevarinos also catered our work site, and their pizzas were pizzeria quality, personally delivered by the Steve the owner.

This is the hangout spot in Scottsboro for the older crowd - some come just for the bar, some come for drinks and dinner.   Don't be intimidated to go in - it looks like a bar in a rundown strip mall from the outside, but families go by to eat dinner, and they're friendly to outsiders and those in town for work.  The locals definitely add exotic character (e.g., the prowling puma, the toothless drunk) to this place in this quiet town.

Came here at the recommendation of the hotel clerk. Stevarinos is definitely a local's hangout. Basically it's a bar with some pretty good Italian food.

I'm not sure that it's the best place to bring a family, but if you're looking for a good bite to eat, a drink, and some local color, this is your place.
