NolaBama Snack Shack reopened in Dadeville Sept. 1, much to the joy and relief of diners across the county and beyond. The lunch spot and grab-and-go retail counter closed in January to regroup, update the kitchen space, add a lunch bar, allow for completion of off-site renovations. It was a breather after the overwhelming success of a business that originally was planned as a walk-up/grab-and-go window and catering option.

Owners Kelly and Darin Nesbit moved to StillWaters in 2016, after Darin retired as executive chef at Dickie Brennan’s Bourbon House in New Orleans. At the urging of many locals, the couple decided to open a small business just off the courthouse square on South Street in Dadeville.
