We drove to The Bottle Tree after work with 5 staff members, about 20 minute drive from South Dothan, we were in for a treat. We got there and I told the greeter we had driven all the way from Nebraska to dine with them tonight. Their response was "do you have reservations"?? They found a way to get us in to a mostly full restaurant. The owner came over and we chatted about Nebraska. She said her dad had went to University of Nebraska but finished in Florida. She said she was born in Lincoln. Well that gets you favored status I guess, the service was spectacular all evening. The restaurant has wall drawings of influential people that had helped them start the restaurant which was pretty cool. Most of us had the Snapper with some spicy macaroni that was simply to die for. We ate every bite. After dinner we order strawberry shortcake and Banana pudding. The shortcake was good but the banana pudding was not of this world it was so good. I will go back for the pudding alone !! Do not pass up a dining experience with this crew at this restaurant.

It was our first time there and the restaurant was neat and clean and won’t be our last time here!! Very friendly service! We had fried Oakra and cheese curd's. Just great!! Our daughter had a simple kids cheese burger slider and fries and she enjoyed it. My wife had the filet with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts and I had the 12 oz ribeye with the same sides and the steaks were delicious and cooked to the way we liked. And hands down the best steak I’ve had in awhile. The chocolate bread pudding was so good and the creme brulee also! Our server was great! I can’t wait to try the lobster ravioli next we go.

This is fine dining in Headland. Dining here is a wonderful event that you need to enjoy. Don't go if you are in a hurry as each meal is the finest in dining and not fast food. The taste of the entrees is out of this world. Some of the best steaks that I have ever had. Don't forget to order desserts as they are absolutely divine. Whitney & her staff have made a destination restaurant in Headland. The staff is dedicated to making your meal the very best. Thank you for the lovely dining experience.

In our quest to find good food and great drinks we found the Bottle Tree in Headland. From the starters, the drinks and the main course the food was delicious. The fried okra and comeback sauce is so delicious. The stuffed mushrooms and captures salad were excellent. Let me tell you if you’re a lightweight like me the grapefruit martini will have you giggling. The sip of the blueberry martini was so tasty and refreshing. The ribeyes with mashed potatoes and summer vegetables were perfect. I can’t wait to come back for more pecan praline bread pudding. The Headland Bottletree everything was excellent from beginning to end. So glad we decided to dine with you all.

It was my 1st time eating here; I was invited for a birthday dinner. It was well worth the 35 min drive. This is a hidden gem! The owner is a really sweet lady who inherited the restaurant from her mother - she stopped by our table & spoke with us for a little bit. The atmosphere is loud with conversation and the hustle and bustle of restaurant noises, which I enjoy. I ordered a blackberry margarita. It was delicious & I could definitely taste the tequila. I also had fried okra, collard egg rolls, and stuffed mushrooms. The fried okra was fresh, seasoned perfectly, & crunchy - came with a dipping sauce similar to Zax sauce. The collard egg roll was interesting. It tastes like greens & crispy cornbread all in one. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing. They had cream cheese & bacon in them with a balsamic glaze - yum! For my entree, I had the ribeye with crispy Brussel sprouts, mashed sweet potatoes, and a Ceasar salad. The ribeye was juicy & grilled to perfection. Those were the best mashed sweet potatoes I’ve ever had- a must try! The Brussel sprouts were a little too crispy for my liking. The Ceasar salad was good. We ordered strawberry bread budding and cinnamon vanilla creme brulee for dessert. Both were delicious!! The bread pudding was fluffy and fruity. The creme brulee tasted like a cinnamon roll. So. Good. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. The servers were great - each one who passed by would ask if we were okay or needed anything. My ticket was less than 80. I would go back to this place for sure! If you are thinking about going, GO!!
