Pell City seems to be experiencing a culinary renaissance with an eclectic array of new eateries that should please a variety of tastes.
From the exotic offerings of Kami Sushi and Asian Fusion, to the vibrant tastes of Mama Spice Jamaican Restaurant, the smoky goodness of Porky Pirate Barbecue, and the delightful treats at Coosa Café and Creamery, there is something for every palate.
Kami opened in the shopping center anchored by Publix and has already outgrown the space where it originally opened, the former Papa Murphy’s location. It has expanded to the space next door formerly occupied by Celeste Boutique.
The menu invites patrons on a culinary journey, “showcasing the best of Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and beyond. Indulge in fresh sushi, soul-warming ramen, bold Thai curries, rich Indonesian specialties and Asian-inspired cocktails.”
Mama Spice’s Facebook pages says it offers authentic Jamaican food, including jerk chicken and more. It is located in the shopping center anchored by Fresh Value. Also coming soon, according to its sign, is an old favorite of Baby Boomers – Pasquale’s Pizza – in the former Superior Automotive location on U.S. 231.
Coosa Café and Creamery is a second location for Coosa Creamery but with a cafe as well. It is a café, coffee shop and ice cream shop all in one, offering dine in, takeout and a drive through.
From banana splits to lattes to homemade sandwiches, the café has plenty of offerings. It is located on U.S. 231 South across from Richey’s Grocery at Rabbit Branch Road.
Landing on the shores of Logan Martin Lake at Coosa Island Marina is Porky Pirate BBQ. Opened in early May, the restaurant has been completely renovated and offers an extensive menu of smoked meats and pork, seafood, chicken and different twists on a variety of dishes.
You can reach this restaurant by vehicle or boat.
