Bevill Cafe

Sumiton Closed 6:30 AM – 2:00 PM 4.7 (7) 415 State St, Sumiton, AL 35148

About this place

Bevill Cafe on State Street at Bevill State College in Sumiton is one of Jefferson County's most pleasant campus dining surprises — a 4.7-star diner from 78 reviews where the best hamburger steak ever is a specific, enthusiastic endorsement from a diner who clearly has a strong opinion about hamburger steak, and where a visitor who had eaten there many years ago returned to find it very good now with many food choices and plans to return again soon. The clean, well-kept environment and the friendly staff make it as welcoming for first-time visitors as for the campus community it primarily serves.

The hamburger steak is the specific standout that earns the most emphatic single-dish endorsement. The breakfast buffet runs until 10 AM and covers the standard short-order format that the campus community relies on for morning service. The lunch buffet offers a good selection with prices described as not unreasonable. The Sunday buffet line gets long but is described as usually worth the wait. The staff are friendly across all service periods, and the entrance is toward the back left side — a detail worth knowing before you arrive for the first time.

Open Monday through Wednesday from 6 AM to 2 PM; Thursday 6:30 AM to 2 PM; Friday 6 AM to 2:30 PM; Sunday 10:30 AM to 2 PM. Closed Saturday. A Sumiton campus dining institution that rewards the stop regardless of whether you are part of the college community.

The employees here are so friendly and go above and beyond for the community. They're supportive of the special needs community, and their food is AMAZING!!!

The portions are huge and the staff is very kind. The only complaint I would have is that the food was a little bland

Meat and 2+ or veggies plates. Reasonably priced. Not much home made, but usually eat here at least once a week. Much better than Fast food.
