This Alabama restaurant has delicious food in historic space in Magnolia Springs

By: Susan Swagler

There’s a lot that’s unique about Magnolia Springs. But two things come to mind immediately. This small town in south Alabama is the only one in the entire United States that gets mail delivered by boat year-round. (There are nearly 200 boxes on the Magnolia Star River Route.) And Magnolia Springs is the home of Jesse’s Restaurant, a destination for some of the state’s most inventive and delicious locally sourced food.

Jesse’s, owned by the husband-and-wife team of Steve and Angie Coltharp, is housed in a century-old building that’s been an integral part of the community for decades. The restaurant honors the past just by existing in its beloved space, but delicious dishes with innovative preparations; a solid craft cocktail program; and a thoughtful and extensive wine list puts this restaurant firmly on the forefront of Alabama’s exciting food scene.
