This restaurant used to be the former home of Al Capone, a home he purchased for his Mistress.  Capone would stop here during his travels to Florida. This home is constructed with underground tunnels and an elaborate system in the basement for making liquor that he was bootlegging. Accounts from locals say he and John Dillinger played cards on the patio and had multiple ways to escape the hole if needed, including holes on the exterior walls for placing your feet if scaling a wall.

loved the place and area, only issue was it did seem like it wasn’t properly cleaned before we arrived and found someone’s socks under the pull out couch. But overall everything else was great!

I have always enjoyed stopping at Monteagle for food or a break. This was my first overnight stay. Really enjoyed it and want to come back for a week or so to really check out the area. Love the scenery and always enjoy history.
