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.

Most cooks cook scared and are afraid to season things. The grits here are perfect, and I like things seasoned. I got two eggs over med, 4 pieces of bacon, grits and toast with coffee for $7.63. Can you really beat that. The only thing I really wish they would change is the coffee, it is swill! But this is the kind of place where the same 5 or 6 retires guys sit at the same table every morning and drink the coffee for hours. Breakfast menu is served all day. Lunch menu is from 11-2. They close at 2. Lunch has burgers, specials, meat and 2 or 3 type food. It is all good.

So far the only actual gumbo I've had in Alabama is at Tamara's Downtown in Fairhope, AL. I ordered the fried grouper finger and shrimp basket which was decent tasting but a smaller portion size. On another visit I sampled their cheeseburger and it had decent sized meat patty on it with some good flavors. I also had the key lime pie for dessert which was alright and pretty par for the course and very similar to most of the other key lime pies I've had in the area. The service was alright but they did a take a bit longer to refill my iced tea than I would have preferred. Overall this is a cool spot to visit and they have a nice variety of options although I can't recommend the "gumbo" Alabama soup.
