Morgan County has a menu to suit all appetites.
Take a seat at The Warden’s Table at an historic prison, bite into an award-winning fried bologna sandwich in a country store, overload on a locally made pizza, homemade barbecue, a plate full of Mexican specialties, good country cooking, dine creekside with live music, or drive into a fast-food eatery.
Wash it down with sweet tea, end of the line moonshine, home brewed beer or a cold soda pop. Something for everyone and offered with a friendly welcome smile.
Built in the 1920s, Tanners Cafe and Sundries was a beloved business that had fallen into a serious state of disrepair and was in immediate danger of being lost forever.
Morgan County Tourism Alliance gained ownership of the building in 2019 and on April 22, 2022, Tanners Historical Cafe opened her door to greet the future.

BBQ smoked low and slow, the way good BBQ should be. Home of the Sweet 29 sauce. We are a family operated business that’s just getting started & we hope to have a permanent establishment one day.
