Our Story
Smokin Gun Cafe was founded with one simple goal: to bring authentic Caribbean flavor and genuine hospitality to the heart of Selma, Alabama. What started as a passion for sharing family-inspired recipes has grown into a place where great food brings people together.
Our menu celebrates the rich flavors of the islands with favorites like jerk chicken, slow-braised oxtails, curry dishes, Rasta pasta, wings, fresh smoothies, and homemade lemonade. Every meal is prepared with quality ingredients, bold seasonings, and the care you’d expect from a home-cooked meal.
Located on historic Water Avenue, Smokin Gun Cafe is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gathering place for families, friends, travelers, and our local community. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, enjoying dinner with loved ones, or letting us cater your next event, we’re committed to providing exceptional food and welcoming service.
Thank you for supporting a locally owned business. We look forward to serving you and sharing the flavors, culture, and warmth that make Smokin Gun Cafe a place you’ll want to visit again and again.
