Find the BOGO coupon in this week's Courier Journal. Go to Boo Radleys on Woodward in Sheffield. You wil get a different ( and fun} sandwich - also huge. Cross the river (OMG!) - turn left onto Hatch which becomes Woodward - Boo Radley is on right next to the $ Tree. ( Old Quizno's location) Salads are also delicious! Prices are great! I first went because I knew at least one of the owners had read "To Kill a Mockingbird!

Sounds like you’re one of the owners. If so, please clean that place up. It’s gross.
It's on Woodward Ave in Muscle Shoals, not Sheffield. Haven't been there yet but heard it's great.
I am not one of the owners. I just like good food. Why is it so hard to entertain a compliment? If it were so gross, it would have received a low health rating. I willl check. I have eaten all over the world and survived . What is you primary problem with the cleanliness? Catsfan, you are right, 0f course, B R is in Muscle Shoals!
haven't tried it yet, but a good friend went here a few days ago and loved it. still raving about it.
I went Monday - again- and still raving about it. They were very busy. I watched them make the roast beef or steak sandwich(I ate the delicious Spa Ha Salad) and the sandwich looked delciou as wel as being huge!
that's what i heard, huge sandwiches
Thanks EM. I have never heard of it but will keep it on my list of places to eat when in the Shoals. Thanks! Sounds good.
i finally made it to boo radleys a couple of days ago. i got two sandwiches, the smoking pot....roast and the thanksgiving dinner. i had half of each and leftovers for the next day. both were great. smoking pot...roast was pot roast, monterey jack cheese with aujus for dipping. the thanksgiving dinner was roasted turkey breast, cranberry sauce, cornbread stuffing, onion, lettuce and mayo.
they told me they were going to open in decatur and florence. the florence location will be at the quizno's building downtown florence.
I doubt very seriously they will allow smoking pot in downtown Florence Alabama!

I know for a fact it would never be allowed in Boo Radley's. Never has, never will.

Reposting is a technical error! I make a lot of them! LOL! I am trying to say that Unclegus pulled a sly pun on us
Read his post until it becomes apparent Neat, Unclegus,neat!
Did they ever make that place sanitary?

I have eaten there several times. Apparently the Health Dep't is happy. Would you please list the problems you encountered so we can make our own decision. Why should we be influenced by someone who may have an ulterior motive? Was "that place" ever unsanitary?
If you can eat there after what I’ve seen then knock yourself out.

We still do not know what you have seen. I believe I asked you to tell us. Still we have no answer.
Boo Radley was closed yesterday when I drove by there and just this morning I noticed it was closed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the health department closed them down. It was disgusting the only and last time I was ever there.
i went by there today for dinner about 4:00 and they were closed. saw a sign on the door with new hours. 11:00 - 3:00. seems like monday - sunday.
You can find restaurant health ratings online. Also the last time they were inspected.
Maybe they only saw the movie.
Here is the latest health rating for Boo Radley's. Looks pretty good to me. I have worked in the food service industry and a 95 is always a very good rating.
Colbert County
Rancho Viejo, 3402 Woodward Ave., Muscle Shoals, 81.
Coldwater Cafe, 3810 Hatch Blvd., Sheffield, 94.
Hardee’s, 419 U.S. 43, Tuscumbia, 94.
Outback Steakhouse, 4838 Hatch Blvd., Sheffield, 94.
Swamp John’s, 210 Woodward Ave., Muscle Shoals, 94.
Melrose Inc., 6340 Woodmont Drive, Tuscumbia, 95.
C and B Concessions, 144 Mountain Side Drive,
Tuscumbia, 95.
Boo Radley’s Deli, 1500 Woodward Ave., Muscle Shoals,
95.
Rancho Viejo on the other hand looks a little suspect. Not to worry there are at least 200 other Mexican places to choose from in the Shoals.
It should also be pointed out in health ratings that some "points" are worse than others. Many restaurants lose points because of loose or broken lids to dumpsters. This is a health hazard, but not to the diners.
Very true Kate. People would not believe some of the things that get counted off during an inspection. If brooms are not stored with the bristles up that is a point deduction. If a dented can is found on the shelves, that is a point deduction. Many times when restaurants get deliveries they don't have time to inspect each can, but I know at the restaurant I dealt with they discarded dented cans if they pulled one from the shelf. Yet, if a health inspector came in before it was found they got a deduction.
Depends on how often the places are checked too. They could be super clean one visit, and nasty the next time they're checked. Or, they could be nasty, get a "heads up" that the health dept. is coming, and swing into high gear to get it cleaned. Too, just how high are the health dept. standards? What do they let slide?

Depends on who gets paid, have you never seen 'Health Inspector"?
I'd say with the hours changing that the business is not doing too good.
A good health rating doesn’t necessarily mean a restaurant is clean and if boo radley’s had a 100 plus rating, I still would stay away after what I saw. It appears others have seen it too.
What did you see Jobe?
The last three times I've went down Woodward, last time was last night, Boo Radley's has been closed.

I think they are doing lunch only. May explain why they were not open at night.
Hey earthmomma,
It looks like boo radleys has closed. What happened?

I know the owner personally........and it isn't earthmomma.
I know earthmomma doesn't own boo radleys but she was promoting it like she owned it.
Boo is closed. Everything was being moved out Saturday & yesterday.
I wonder why Jobe doesn't want to tell what he "saw" there. Why the big secret Jobe? Was it Gremlins? Was there a mouse in the kitchen making soup? Or do you just have a grudge against someone at Boo Radleys and are trying to start a rumor?
I'm going to bet its the latter...
Probably saw that Gremlin or mouse smoking weed & they wouldn't share.
Nope, didn’t know anyone at boo radley’s. Just know it wasn’t a clean place. So why did it close since ya’ll know someone there? On 2/16/2013 Semi wrote that pot would never be allowed in boo radley’s and then implied today that pot smoking was happening there. Make up your mind. And again, why did it close?

The weed was being sneaked in & smoked by the gremlin and/or mouse. The owners didn't know.
