One summer many years ago, my daughter mentioned Butlers was on the
market, and I having spent too much time inside thought it would be the
perfect new job. A job for all in family...a little outside work....a little inside
work....some computer work....some cleaning work....a little accounting and
a little dish washing...time in solitude...and time with customers and
employees....all the while getting along on the banks of the Little Tallapoosa
like Tom and Huck. We tend to forget the run-in's and troubles of those river
youngsters while we dream of lazy summer days fishing.

Well, after several weeks of intense cleanup, renovation and finance
gathering, Butlers was opened in April 2002 with a full house and 2-3 hours
wait. The next morning I awoke to a beautiful spring day exhausted in a
daze of shock wondering if the building was still standing! Amazingly it was!

Welcome to Butlers Mill.

We are glad you found us on the web and hope you drive on over
for our Southern Cookin' on the River real soon!

A tempting seafood delight awaits you - crab legs, fried shrimp,
boiled shrimp, fried oysters and oysters on the half shell; clam
strips, stuffed crab, fried whole catfish, fish filet, scallops and
popcorn shrimp. There's chicken tenders for the land lovers and
usually some beef for those with taste ranging a little more on
bovine side.

Add collards, green beans, fried pickles, green fried tomatoes,
pintos, corn, mac & cheese and its a full course meal - almost.

A fresh salad bar awaits those who need to balance the feast of
seafood and other treats with wholesome veggies and fruit.

There's homemade ice cream, strawberry and peach cobbler and
usually banana pudding and chocolate pudding.

Wash it all down with our home made tea or soda and you are
sure to be more than satisfied. If not, there's always carry-out. In
fact, many customers have asked for wheel barrows to carry them
out after getting just a little too satisfied!
