This is one of the BEST places to eat in the Shoals! My personal favorite is their fried chicken plate. Everything just seems to taste fresh. I am a tour guide at one of the area home museums, tourists are constantly asking me where to eat. Claunch's is always my answer, and it is also a wonderful choice for those who have MSG allergies!
My favorite Sunday dinner!! Everything is delicious!! The chicken and dressing is so fantastic, I bought a pan to serve my family and friends for Christmas. They said it was AMAZING! The fried chicken plate is the best value-- 3 side items including sensational squash casserole!
I'm honest about my reviews I'm giving a 3star because the pot roast was great. Let me start by saying my husband had the special which was pot roast potatoes lima beans and it was very good. Thankfully he gave me some of his. Because I ordered the pecan chicken salad. Supposedly it's the top 100 things to eat in Alabama. Well I don't even know where to begin. I'm not being ugly but I like I said I believe in truthful reviews. I was able to eat five bites and that was with crackers. It was some of the worst chicken salad I've ever had. Way way too much mayonnaise a few pecans and chunks of celery. I was very excited to try it because I love chicken salad needless to say I was very disappointed. I did eat the little dessert bread that comes with it and the grapes and the cantaloupe and the frozen strawberry fluff. We were just passing through So this was our first time so I'm just going to say this Maybe it was just an off day.
Ate here for the 1st time today during a trip to leisure trip to Tuscumbia from middle Tennessee. The food is excellent. I had the spinach quiche from the daily specials choices. My friend had the fried chicken Tues. special. She said it was so tender and delicious. I also had the key lime pie, the best I have ever tasted (& I have had many slices.) I can't wait to return to this great restaurant.
Claunch Cafe is a great place for lunch. Everything on the menu is delicious. Their daily lunch specials are always good and served quickly. The pecan chicken salad plate is one of the best around; that’s what I chose today. No regrets!
Long time family owned diner. Food was good, and similar to what grandma cooked. In fact I believe many of their recipes are hers. The interior is nice but nothing special. What is special is their park setting tucked aside nature, perfect for an after lunch stroll. We heard the chicken salad was a favorite so we had some to-go. It was good with pecans. Friendly staff and had a chat with the 3rd Gen owner who beamed with pride.
Absolutely love Claunch Cafe. Their food is fantastic, and like many, my favorite is the chicken salad plate with fresh fruit, glazed nut bread, and “pink fluff”. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and they just generally know how to make sure you leave full and happy! If you are in Tuscumbia, AL, you must come to Claunch Cafe!!!
I got the Roast Beef Sandwich which had a surprisingly delicious 🤤 taste to it, almost a horseradish but not overdone. Excellent Gordon Ramsey Fresh Quality!
Talk about a hidden gem!!! I had their Turnip Green soup. I had never heard of it and I enjoy new tastes. Absolutely delicious. Then key lime pie. By far THE BEST key lime pie this tongue has ever had roll across it. Wow.
