“ The Peerless is a must-visit location for locals and tourists. It is definitely a hidden gem in Anniston that should not be missed. They have a great selection of food and you really can't go wrong with anything. It sounds silly but I especially love their chips and salsa. They fry their own tortilla/wonton chips and they are amazing! Fried Green Tomatoes - very good and come with tasty chips. Quesadilla is a winner. The Ultimate Open Face Roast Beef is a local favorite but it is super heavy and isn't something I'd order again. Around Thanksgiving every year they do a Thanksgiving sandwich and that's my favorite thing to come in for. The atmosphere is really nice. The restaurant is in a historic building and the saloon part is advertised as Alabama's oldest saloon so that's pretty neat. ”
“ What a great restaurant (The oldest in Alabama, built in 1899), The vaulted ceiling's looked original and beautiful. They had chandeliers hanging from them. Our waiter was very accommodating one person in our party couldn't climb stairs, so he seated us downstairs. Our waiter was very friendly, and knew the menu well. Everyone's food came out fast and it all looked delicious. I got the BLT with fried green tomatoes (Tomatoes and/or breading needed some seasoning.) my husband's steak quesadilla was really good, I had a bite. I recommend eating here and enjoy. ”
“ Amazing food and atmosphere. This place is really unique. One side is a great restaurant with delicious daily food specials. The other side is a cool historic bar with great drink specials and live music. New management is really doing great! The history of the Peerless is worth the trip alone. Their drink specials are great and don't forget to check their features board in the grille! ”
“ Found by Yelp, arrived it little off main road but only by a few blocks. Has a small parking lot. Ordered firecrackers those was a great start.
