Pictured above is the cashier's station at dale's Cellar in Birmingham, the first dale's Cellar restaurant.
The interiors of all dale's Cellar Restaurants were very similar. There were no huge bay windows, brass
fixtures or ornate salad, soup and dessert bars. At dale's, the food and service were always the main
attraction. A favorite entree at dale's was "The Gambler Steak Dinner." Patrons who ordered "The Gambler"
never knew what cut of steak they would receive -- that was left to the chef's discretion. However, they
were guaranteed that their "gamble" would indeed pay off handsomely when their meal was served. The price
of "The Gambler" meal in 1958 - $2.50.
