Hunt’s lands spot on AL.com’s restaurant recommendation list: “The real deal”

Hunt’s lands spot on AL.com’s restaurant recommendation list: “The real deal”

Hunt’s Seafood Restaurant and Oyster Bar landed a coveted spot on AL.com’s latest restaurant recommendation list, highlighting the delicious raw oysters and cheese biscuits.

“I live on the opposite side of the state from the Wiregrass. It’s a haul for me to get there, but fortunately, I have a job that allows me to travel the state. And let me tell you: Anytime I’m near Dothan I gotta go to Hunt’s — and judging by the packed parking lot every time I go, I’m not the only one. It’s the type of place where you can load up your family and sit in the restaurant portion of the building or bring your buddies and sit at the oyster bar and have an equally great time. The cheese rolls are every bit as amazing as they sound, but I can’t go without getting some raw oysters. With Louisiana hot sauce at the bar and fresh oysters, Hunt’s is the real deal. — Haley Laurence”

Public meeting coming up on widening Brannon Stand, 605

The city of Dothan wants to hear your opinion — a public involvement meeting is coming up on the widening of Brannon Stand Road and Highway 605.

Leaders are considering adding more lanes, so the Alabama Department of Transportation is performing a road-widening study to determine how useful the work may be as the west side of Dothan grows.

The public meeting is at Westgate Recreation Center on April 16.

Today’s weather: 3/26

Weather on Wednesday will look much like Tuesday; we start the day with fog then mostly a cloud-free sky, and brilliant sunshine will push temperatures above 80 degrees. So after a foggy start look for a beautiful, sunny Spring day.

Tonight will be clear with mild temperatures. Low tonight 51.

Thursday should  be another mostly sunny and warm days, although clouds will be increasing as skies load with moisture for what may be a wet
weekend in the Wiregrass.
