O’Carr’s Restaurant

Written by Cameron Carr

Cameron Carr started his career with Kentucky Fried Chicken. The intended summer job grew into a passion for the industry. Leaving college his 1st year, all energies were focused on the food service industry. A number of promotional relocations placed the family in Birmingham. 1975 was the year O’Carrs Restaurant was conceived. Cameron and his wife June owned and operated the restaurant for 48 years. Starting as an ice cream parlor it evolved into it’s current form. Selling the restaurant to Kenneth Rhodes ( an employee) allowed the bigger than life dream to continue. The divine blessings, loyal customers and incredible staff saw us through the years.
