Donny’s Supper Club
10110 CAMP OLIVER ROAD ADGER, AL 35006
Friday night Patti and I went out to celebrate the completion of my basic firefighter class (160 hours spread over two years and three hunting seasons). We met some folks from the Warrior River at Donnie’s Supper Club on Camp Oliver Road near Oak Grove.
Donnie’s is a restaurant/bar with a stage and dance floor but without an obvious no-smoking section. Its building is located on the old lot where once set the more notorious Hilltopper, a honky-tonk eatery that mercifully burned to the ground a few years ago. If you live on the river, Donnie’s is one of only two places where you can eat out. The other is the River Café, a bar which recently upgraded from a single-wide to a double-wide.
After dinner and a few drinks, Patti and I headed home to relieve the babysitter. Somewhere between dinner at Donnie’s and home on the farm I lost the $40 I planned to pay the sitter — just two $20 bills wrapped in a receipt. Yesterday it showed up in the mail with a note that it was found outside Donnie’s.
It was moment to smile about the good nature of people.
