Bottomfeeder's History
In early 2002, Ed and Tammie Chism bought the corner lot on 5th Street and 30th Avenue, close to downtown Northport, to build a warehouse and office for their business, Crown Limousine. On the corner
of the property was an old building made of blocks, and painted an ugly yellow. After turning down several offers to rent the building, Ed and Tammie realized that the property was a prime location for a small
locally owned restaurant.
Their unique concept, not previously
available in the area, was to offer smoked wings, pork, ribs and southern fried
catfish. Their dream became a reality as Pigs, Chickens & Bottomfeeders opened
to the public on September 3, 2003. Many changes and improvements have been
made as the restaurant has evolved through the customers needs and wants.
Shrimp, oysters, crawfish and crab claws now complete out the bottom feeders
portion of the menu.
Their love of great food and their desire to provide excellent customer service, has
been their motto from the beginning. Their goal is to get the customer coming
back on a regular basis and for them to tell their friends about their dining
experience.
The restaurant offers plenty of room for large groups to dine in, call in and pick up
service, and full catering and delivery services for large groups. Fundraising
options are also available.
Over eight years later, Ed and Tammie are still very active in the business, making
every effort to ensure excellent food consistency, food quality and great customer
service every day.
