This morning we traveled to nearby Anniston, Alabama to enjoy brunch at one of our favorite restaurants: Classic on Noble which is located in the beautiful 1894 Levy and Clark building in historic downtown Anniston. Each time I walk through the front door of this establishment, the feeling is you're walking into a large familiar home with several hundred of your closest friends. The energy level is, without fail, happy, fun, and filled with families, couples, and groups of friends all ready to enjoy some of the most excellent Southern cuisine imaginable. Classic on Noble also serves a lunch and dinner menu, but today we'll focus on their famous Sunday Brunch.
There are a variety of different food "stations" located through the dining area. What appears to have the potential to be a chaotic situation is anything but. Like I said earlier, it's almost magical how everyone dining at the Classic is smiling and happy. People are walking to and fro, planning how they're going to strategize their meal!
We'll start with a few pictures of the interior, and then we'll get to the food! There are Christmas/holiday decorations in every spare inch which certainly adds to the festive spirit I met up with this guy by the front door. Live piano music adds the perfect touch to the dining experience.
What's not to love (and envy!) with this silver collection?
If you have young guests dining with you, never fear. One of the stations has a selection of childhood favorites including chicken fingers, mini-corn dogs, creamy mac and cheese, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, moon pies, and animal crackers!
I did not get a clear photo of the omelet and waffle station. I don't want to do a disservice to the Classic by posting a blurry picture. But there is a talented woman who can whip up the lightest, fluffiest waffles you've ever eaten in just a few minutes. If you'd like an omelet, no problem! A WIDE variety of fillings are available including ham, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, jalapenos, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.
Another failing on my part was the omission of a photo of the taco bar including beef, chicken and all the yummy toppings!
Now, we'll go to the Salad Station. This is not your run of the mill chain restaurant salad bar. This the Classic on Noble Salad Station!
This is a partial listing. I say that because I know I have omitted some items! Fried green tomatoes, poached salmon with capers, assorted cheeses, sliders, fried dumplings with sesame seeds, fruit trays, chicken salad, dill potato salad, mixed green salad, hot wings, Waldorf salad, spinach salad, frog legs, calamari salad, boiled shrimp, spinach dip, corn salad, spinach, and strawberry salad.
If you're not already stuffed, there's also a vast selection of hot foods including steaks, baked ham, roasted turkey, dressing, green beans, collards, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, peas, chicken cordon bleu, sweet and sour chicken, crab cakes, etc.
And now, one of Classic's specialties which have the distinction of being listed as one of the "100 Dishes To Eat in Alabama Before You Die."
Finally, if you can manage to rise from your chair, the dessert station awaits. I can imagine this is what happens when you turn lose a number of Southern grandmamas in the kitchen.
As a final joy to the young diners.....a chocolate fountain with marshmallow, rice Krispy treats, fruit, and pretzel sticks!
The Classic on Noble is the perfect location to make memories with your family and friends while enjoying some of the most delicious food imaginable.
wow, all I could think is waddle, waddle, waddle after I finished eating from there :)
