I've created a little video of Payne's since the rennovation. Hope you enjoy.

Greetings from the Beach...

Tonight I'm bringing you the PAYNE'S Special of the day from the beach. Well... actually, I am at the Beach- sending the email from here... But Georgia, Paula and the gang will be serving the food in Scottsboro! :-)

The MONDAY'S SPECIAL will be
Mexican Chicken Casserole
Side Salad with your choice of our Homemade Dressings
Mexican Cornbread

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and we'll see you back in town on Tuesday!

Surprise Luncheon for Granny at Payne's

Tuesday June 17th Special
Taco Salad

It's hard to pull a good surprise on someone... but I think we pulled it off.

Last week we planned and hosted a Surprise 80th Birthday Luncheon for Elizabeth. When she and her friend Sue came in she almost lost it. Tears welled up and her was opened mouth. I truly think we surprise her! Lots of fun!

Catch up...

So far we haven't been very good at keeping this blog updated but I hope to do better.

Things at Payne's are going better than we could have ever imagined! We have Paula helping with the cooking. Jug keeping all the dishes done and helping with plating. Jackie in her regular spot making all the sandwiches. Georgia is now at Payne's full time and I think she is really enjoying. Molly is helping some now that school is out. Granny Elizabeth helps bus tables when she comes in to eat and I even caught Steve clearing a table or two when needed.

We have a Daily Special Monday through Friday, that everyone seems to enjoy. The regular menu still includes the traditional favorites: hot dogs with red slaw, homemade chicken salad, tuna salad, and pimento cheese. We have added a second chicken salad that only has celery, grapes, and mayo that is probably our #1 sandwich seller (except for hot dogs!!) We also have the hamburger, cheeseburger, baked ham, and club sandwiches.

We have added a Reuben Sandwich, and a Cranberry Turkey Sandwich to the regular menu. We also now offer a Mixed Spring Greens Mandarin Salad with Grilled Chicken and a Strawberry Pecan Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken. I think our homemade dressing are a hit and are helping to 'sell' the salads.

The daily specials are a lot like what you would expect on a 'Blue Plate Special' or a Meat and three. Paula cooks up some of her specials like Pork Tenderloin, Pitted Ham, Country Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Pintos, and the like. They are currently cooking around 40 -45 specials each day and they are usually gone by 12:00 . People have started calling in and reserving their plates around 10:00 lately!

Georgia has also started offering whole pies and cakes for sale. And does some awesome 'CupCakes by the Dozen' in very unusual flavors like - Key Lime, Reese's Chocolate, Neapolitan, Margarita, and others.

Coming soon will be afternoon Birthday Parties and maybe even Cooking Classes!
