Bates House of Turkey has since become a landmark must-stop on the way to the beach.

Becky Sloane, Bill and Teresa’s daughter, now runs the family business. She said COVID-19 was a jolt to the restaurant’s spring break business. But the restaurant has never had to close and has recovered from that initial shock.
It helps when you have irresistible food like the Hickory Smoked Turkey Sandwich. It’s a sandwich so good it is on the Alabama Tourism Department’s list of 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama.
