I always enjoy a well-designed outdoor dining space and this nice country restaurant fits the bill. There's a bit of a trick to the driveway but once you can actually see it by the Mobile station on the highway, Bob'your uncle. This is a seasonal place, so check the web site for opening and closing dates.
The restaurant is back from the highway and has good signage to help with getting to the right place to order food or ice cream. It has a screened porch and an open shaded deck and a full sun deck. So on a hot summer day it's a nice place to hang out while enjoying the food and frozen treats along with your friends or family. There is a full history of the place on their website, so if you want all the details, make a visit. It is clean and very well kept, and that along with the nice out door seating makes it an attractive spot.
There's a lot of menu to try. There are vegetarian options and since the whole menu is online, you can check before you go to see if everyone in your group should be able to find something. Sandwiches, wraps, casadillas, seafood, chicken and daily specials line up to make for a good variety. There are 10 different kinds of burger and a variety of sandwiches and Coke products for drinks, plus tea and coffee. The service involves order and pickup windows, and I found that the staff is both cheery and helpful.
In my experience everything is ok, and I mean that in the sense that it's ok to eat and also in the sense that it's not anything I would rave about. If I would take a McDonald's as the standard, I would say that Still Four Corners fits the standard almost perfectly. You can pretty much tell what you are going to get, nothing above or below standard. If I think "taco salad" I'm going to be able to imagine perfectly what the taco salad will be like. The same goes for "loaded tater tots". When you look at the meal in the photo above you can tell exactly how it will taste. So I'm guessing that's largely why it's popular. Also the ice cream list has a good variety of flavors without being overwhelming or silly. And there's sherbet and frozen yogurt, but not a wide variety of flavors in those treats. And yes, there are frappes, floats, and something they call a cooler, which is sherbet and soda. I took a bit of time with a couple flavors of those on sunny days.
It's been bustling every time I've stopped in. The outside setting makes for a great place to hang out with friends in the warm weather. Beers and wines are also available. It will definitely remain on my mental list of ok places to go for a pleasant meal. The menu looks to me like it has been carefully shaped to make sure that everyone in a family is going to find something that they like, which is really good when everybody wants to go somewhere casual to eat. The variety of outside settings make it a very good place to take children.
All in all it's a nice place. I'll be going back when I want to sit outside and enjoy some casual eats.
