Hominy, hush puppies, cornbread, grits, Alabama white sauce on any meat, especially smoked chicken, are all popular in Alabama. BBQ is practically a religion in the South! As former certified Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) certified judges, my husband and I completed the training and paid the fees to be certified. The "KCBS way" is different from a lot of people's preferences in that, for example, a BBQ rib should actually have some "pull" to it, meaning, when you bite into it, your mouth should leave a mark in the rib. This means "fall off the bones" ribs are not KDBS quality, despite how many love that rib consistency. The KCBS judges slots fill up so quickly and required us to travel at our own cost and we did not judge any KCBS events. Back to Southern food. Deep fried double Oreos are one of the many fried foods here in Huntsville, and Melt restaurant features them on their menu. Meat-and-Three restaurants feature a meat (usually fried pork chop, meatloaf, BBQ, fried catfish, country fried steak/chicken) and three sides (fried okra, creamed corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked potato, potato salad, cole slaw, French fries) and bread options such as cornbread, rolls, hush puppies. While Southern Cooking is absolutely delicious, I have to limit it because lets face it, it is high in calories and cholesterol. When I do indulge, it's shrimp and grits, pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, and fried whole okra.

Server spilt full glass of water on table and never even attempted to clean it up. We used our napkins and asked for new ones and she never brought them. Asked another server if we could get new napkins, never got them. We were never asked how things were or if we needed anything else other than another drink. Foley and the general area have turned into a mini NYC as far as dinning out goes, Between fast food, chain restaurants and local restaurants you could probably eat out at a different restaurant for years.

Now the new server/ dishwasher lady took my order for me. I will try Hattie's again due to the food being great. It's not a quick lunch spot. Come when your not in a rush and enjoy the great food.

Our server remained atop of their game staying attentive & making sure drink orders were maintained…read more& used plates were bussed ensuring enough space for other plates we came back with. From personal observation. Their simplistic display met usual standards with other buffets when speaking about Selection & presentation. Starting with their Cornbread, Mashed Potatoes, Chicken & Salad. Each dish's flavor was lackluster & missing any savory appeal I expect when dining at buffets. Potatoes lacked any airy & fluffy tastes expected. Butter & gravy couldn't enhance any flavor potential. Cornbread contained same disappointment having zero moisture somewhat crumbly dry & flavorless. Chickens nothing to crow about. Its juiciness lacks seasoning & is untender. Meatloaf remains undesirable and also feels dry in texture & taste while having little seasoning. Everything besides homemade desserts was disappointing & my excited anticipation of enjoying their buffet became met with disappointment & heartbreak with every bite. Sadly Golden Corral or local Chinese Buffet outperformed this place. Despite attempts to enhance the flavor with condiments like Ketchup, gravies, or hot sauce. Foods offered remained unpalatable adding towards disappointment with every dish. Thoughts pertaining towards revisiting here would require entree improvements offering a foreseeable future potential for returning could become likely. There are some positives outside of their food being a quaint setting outside reminiscent of some small beautiful beach cottage containing within small cozy simplistic (It's way I love it) interior with nice decor.. Clean interior friendly service enjoyable Strawberry Shortcake. Some positives remain & love to take any opportunities towards leaving positives when I can.

We love the service and of course the food is so awesome. The friendly weight staff comes around throughout your entire dining experience and provides so many awesome sides in addition to your dinner selections. The staff comes around and brings fried okra, smothered potatoes, and various other delicious southern side dishes. The food is so delicious and definitely remind you of HOME and the variety of menu items are perfect and so so so yummy. The 32 ounce mugs with your drink of choice is hilariously, huge and so generous... we also learned on this trip that you could purchase one of those jugs to go. The ambience is cool. It kinda reminds you of an old country restaurant with wooden benches and historical items, pictures, and memorabilia all throughout the entire restaurant. The biggest part and honestly a fun part for families is this is also the place that's coined "Throw em rolls" where they throw huge hat and fresh dinner rolls to your table so at any time you can see flying rolls throughout the dining room rooms. It's so much fun. I would definitely add this to your list if you are in the area to check out. The food, the service is really great and just a very simple, casual dining experience.

Lambert's is definitely an experience! I'll admit, when I first heard they literally throw the…read morerolls across the restaurant, I thought it sounded a little strange, but once you're there, it's actually really fun. The rolls come out fresh and hot, and they're really good! They also come around throughout the meal with different "pass-arounds" that they serve right at your table. I tried the fried okra and really enjoyed it. There were several other options being passed around as well, so you definitely won't leave hungry. For my meal, I had the chicken wings and was very pleased. Other family members tried the country-fried steak and shrimp, and everyone seemed happy with their food. The portions are generous, and even the drink cups are GINORMOUS! Service was good and timely, especially considering how busy and lively the restaurant was. It's very family and kid friendly, and you can tell Lambert's has been around for a long time and has become an experience in itself. My biggest recommendation: make a reservation, especially if you're coming with a large group. Without one, you could easily be looking at a 45-minute wait or longer. Overall, I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to experience Lambert's. Good food, good service, a fun atmosphere, and catching a hot roll flying across the restaurant makes for a pretty memorable meal! Definitely worth experiencing at least once.
