There's realistically only 3 restaurants in or near Red Bay, AL. The city is the home of the TIFFIN MOTORCOACH manufacturing plant. We along with some friends drove from southern California clear across the country to Red Bay to get our RVs repaired. Our friends literally live out of their RV and they have two lap dogs. The Yacht Club restaurant would not allow us to dine for breakfast on their patio because of the dogs due to the health department of Franklin County regulations. We offered to lift the lap dogs over the railing of the patio so they wouldn't go through the restaurant and the manager said the health department would shut them down. How ridiculous they'd be shut down cause of 2 little puppies on an outdoor patio. Please change your regulations Franklin County!

Never have I ever came out of a gyno exam so quick. I've been used to going to Florence, waiting an hour in a packed waiting room, paying $30 and then having to pick up my bc pills. I'm 27, and when I left I was shocked because of how quick and not awful it was. The entire place was in better shape than my original obgyn. I could have been going here for 7+ years, in and out asap instead of spending over an hour in a tiny room with heavily pregnant mothers and parents of small children
