Muscle Shoals' Garden Gate Café is well-known for its hearty, Southern-style meals, with a focus on the traditional "meat and three" menu. This is an arrangement that is common in the South of the United States, where consumers choose one main meat dish and three sides. The restaurant maintains the charm of "home-cooked" food while providing a warm, welcoming environment for families and speedy meal service. Fried chicken livers, boneless chicken breast, country fried steak, and cornbread from Mexico are among the commonly consumed foods. The vegetable sides, which include daily offerings such fried okra, green beans, and creamed corn, are also noteworthy. The traditional Southern beverage, sweet tea, is always served with their meals.

One of the most talked-about dishes:

The fried chicken livers are one of the most talked-about delicacies; patrons laud this Southern specialty. These tender, crunchy-looking chicken livers have a soft inside and are perfectly cooked at home. They are made differently from comparable dishes seen elsewhere since Garden Gate Café follows a traditional Southern recipe. A reasonable $9.99 gets you a platter of chicken livers with three sides, which is great value for a hearty and tasty supper. This dish is a must-try for anyone looking for real Southern cooking, especially when served with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a side of Mexican cornbread.
