Taking it back old school! We got the soup.... Eh! Not good/not bad.... It was a shrimp bisque. We also got the ribeye steak, baked potato and salad with corn muffins. The steak was on the thinner side, but super flavorful. The Service was great. The establishment its self is like something from the 1950's country club feel..,, so if your in Selma and looking for something kitschy, then this is the place.

Really 3.5 but more than we expected. Nice homemade muffins. Nice servers. Good salads. I had a small spinach. Check on dressings. I had fried green tomato with crab and hollandaise for dinner. Needs a bit more sauce. Other had prime rib which rated a 3. Desserts sounded good but just ready to leave. Would return again.

I had high hopes for this place as it seems to be the only choice for semi-upscale dining in Selma. I was craving a great steak and had heard they had the best. Unfortunately, I have to concur with the rest of the reviewers: It's just ok. Not good, not bad, ok. The part I liked most was seeing the trees with the Spanish moss outside. The log cabin and fox hunt motif is ... odd. Interesting, but strikingly out of place in Selma. The waitress was very nice, as was the gentleman who cleaned my table afterward. I began with fried artichoke hearts, which were melt-in-the-mouth good, but there were only eight of them. There was no bread on the table as some have mentioned, but my appetizer came almost immediately. I polished it off in about five minutes. I would have liked more, but the honey mustard dip was an odd combination and over-powered the delicacy of the artichoke. They brought a salad which appeared to be iceberg lettuce with a tomato wedge and some cheese. Luckily, my ribeye appeared about five minutes after that. Speedyl for a Friday night, but they weren't very busy. The steak was a huge disappointment, especially for $21. It looked beautiful, but it was extremely tough. I gave up about halfway through, because I was weary of sawing away at it. The flavor was good, though it lacked a good smoky taste. I ordered medium rare, but I believe I got well-done. I'm not sure, because I could barely see my plate in the candlelit room. I ordered the "special" baked potato, which is just a potato with cheese. It was actually very good. I liked it better than the steak. Their sweet tea was good, too. I ordered Snickers pie to go, and it was tasty. I was a bit taken aback when a waiter came to my table and, without saying anything, began gathering the extra plates and silverware. It was about 15 minutes until they closed, but the restaurant still had a number of people, including one or two who had just arrived, so I felt like he could have waited or at least made some pleasantry. As it was, I just felt like an annoyance. Before I left though, I encountered another young man cleaning tables, and he smiled and we exchanged a few nice words, leaving me with a smile on my face. I didn't catch his name, but he should be commended for his professionalism and friendliness, as should the waitress. The atmosphere is nice -- candles on the tables and sort of dressy-casual. It would look nicer with white tablecloths instead of brown paper on the tables -- or just wooden tables -- but it didn't really matter. I think they could be wildly successful here -- their staff is nice, the building is cool, and the atmosphere is good. But the food -- the main reason you go out to eat -- just isn't worth the price. I couldn't read my receipt in the dim light, but I suspect it added up to around $40, then add the additional $10 I tipped the waitress. It was nice to be able to say I ate there as it seems to be "sort of a thing," but I doubt I will return.

We had a great dinner in Selma Friday night. Loved the fried green tomatoes. Loved the chicken with artichokes. This place is a cross between a country club, a steak house, and s dive bar and somehow quite wonderful. Excellent service. Diverse and lovely crowd. Great vibe. All the negative reviews about the food have me baffled. The Talley Ho provides great versions of old steakhouse classics in a welcoming NewSouth setting!

I have never felt so backwards and weird at a restaurant. First it's in the middle of a neighborhood, then it is a British foxhunt themed restaurant in a log cabin. Third the wait staff sort of reminded me of a throwback to, well....not a great time in history. I went for dinner with 2 colleagues. Basically to eat here you seem to need to be interested in steak, shrimp or hollandaise sauce. I'm not into any of those (though, the shrimp is due to an allergy). The salad that came with my dinner was bagged iceberg lettuce and one tomato wedge, the italian dressing was definitely sysco or some other strange bland product that was probably all soybean oil and hfcs. Next, I ordered Chicken Parmesan, expecting it to come with pasta, instead I had the option of a starch (fries, rice, or baked potato) ok, baked potato. Then the kicker, no vegetable with the meal. The chicken had a really barbeque'y taste and was grilled. The sauce appeared to be slightly doctored canned crushed tomatoes. The potato was on the small side. My local greasy spoon has better decor and food than this joint, and at a much better price. I'd rather get enough chicken parm for 2 or 3 servings for $10

Definitely this place is a little different than your typical chain resturant. I enjoyed the change of pace. You really do have to just trust your GPS/phone directions, it's in what seems like a neighborhood. The staff was friendly. The portions were a little small for my liking. I ordered the catfish, it was excellent. But I only got one fillet. If I'm in the area again I will be stopping back by.

During my first visit, I was really surprised to find this restaurant in a neighborhood setting. Once inside this establishment, I was surprised to see that it had the atmosphere of an upscale restaurant. The staff were will dressed andb friendly. We decided to get takeout instead of dining in. The prices are extremely high! The food was good to a certain extent.

Place is more of a destination than a fine restaurant. The building is very cool and the staff is very nice and attentive. The menu has a slight southern vibe going for it and everything that my party ordered was theroughly enjoied. The chicken and shrimp saute was very good only I was dissapointed to see it was made with small frozen shrimp. All around a good place to go check out, and defiantly a place to visit while in Selma. Trust your GPS while driving there for the first time, its off the beaten track.

I thought this place was only OK. The service was nice and the food was good but the price of this place was not good. The place was a little over priced compared to other places in the city.

One of the better sit down restaurants in Selma. Nestled away in a back road, the decor is very down home, reflecting its cooking. The food is good, the service is good. Safe bet here.
