Oakman, a little slip of a town in Walker County, consists of a smattering of homes, farms and churches surrounding a single strip of downtown buildings and an extremely convenient store that sells hardware, cattle feed and deli sandwiches. But the town of about 750 residents has a claim to fame that draws tourists from miles away - the Bull Pen Steakhouse. If you're wondering what is touristy about a steakhouse, take a look at these photos.

The steakhouse, owned by Charles Richard "Bull" Corry, is not an ordinary restaurant. Its décor is like Cracker Barrel's on steroids and it includes a homey barbecue drive-thru, as well. And then there's the town Corry built next door. Events and concerts are held at the Western-themed town, which also serves as home to some miniature horses.

Bull Corry opened the Bull Pen 22 years ago and acts as its head chef. In addition to running the steakhouse, he has kept busy over the years: He served eight years as mayor of Oakman, and was an amateur boxer and rodeo rider, according to an AL.com story by Jared Boyd. He got the name "Bull" from the days when he worked in a coal mine, where he still works from time to time.

The interior and exterior of the restaurant are cluttered with vintage signs and equipment. Corry says unlike Cracker Barrel's décor, his antiques have been used by his family over the years and have personal meaning.

Corry's family has a long tradition of working in local coal mines, as well as farming the land surrounding the Bull Pen Steakhouse. The family has owned Old York Farms since the mid-1800s. This building and York Farms sign are located on property beside the steakhouse.

The Western-themed town serves as an event venue, hosting everything from private events to music festivals. Music legends such as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard have performed on the Old York Farms stage.
