I came in here with higher than average expectations, and right out of the gate I was already going…read morefor four stars. But man, this is the south. And for one of the very rare times, I wish I could add a sixth star to this place. I think my bartender was Erica, nice older woman. At least that's what it was on my ticket. Top notch hospitality. Place was super clean, they had sports playing on one TV, and had enlightening music playing on the other. This is the way all of America should be. I'm on my no carb kick, so I ordered two grilled pork chops with a side of their signature Brussels, and turnip greens. Hold on for a second, I just got done eating about a half an hour ago, and I just had to wipe the saliva off of my mouth while writing this. First of all, my entire meal was under $18. How these Alabama restaurants give you insane portion sizes, and still make a profit is beyond me. The rest of these restaurants in the country need to take note. My plate was huge, and even though it was my only meal of the day, I was still able to take a portion of my second pork chop back to the truck to enjoy tomorrow with my breakfast. The bartender told me that they hired her son as a cook. If this kid keeps slinging these skillets the way that he is, No doubt he will end up being legendary. My brussel sprouts were super good, my turnip greens were OFF.THE.CHAIN. I make collards at home, and this is the very first time I've actually had greens better than my own. I'm actually considering going in there and buying a quart to have on the truck with me. My pork chops? mannnn, If you know me, you know I cook, and these pork chops were nothing short of amazing. Crisp and crunchy on the outside, super super juicy on the inside, seasoned to perfection. This is the food that dreams are made of ladies and gentlemen. I wasn't going to have supper here tonight, because I still have leftovers from last night, but this is the south. If you have a little bit of intuition, you got to go all in, and then thank yourself later. One of the best meals literally that I've had, since early May. I hope this place keeps cranking out the caliber service and food they have, and I certainly hope I'm back in this part of Bama, Because I will definitely be returning. Five stars, just isn't enough. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Sat at the bar. Bartender was really nice and attentive, but don't expect an old fashioned…read more Place is clean. I ordered the "16 oz" NY Strip, baked potato and black eyed peas. The steak was no where near 16 oz. You can get the same steak at Waffle House... seriously. It tasted a bit off, I only ate about a quarter of it. Super greasy. The baked potato was not fully cooked and chunky hard. BUT... the black eyed peas were great after I added salt, pepper, and vinegar to them. Maybe my expectations were too high on the food... maybe other items in the menu are better. This place gets an "eh"

My girlfriend went with a classic pepperoni pizza, and she really enjoyed it--simple but done right. The highlight of the meal, though, was the loaded cheese fries--easily some of the best loaded fries I've ever had. Perfectly crispy fries piled high with gooey cheese and toppings that actually added to the flavor rather than just being there for show. The only downside was the service--it was pretty slow despite the place not being busy. That said, the food was solid, so I'd still come back, especially for those fries!

For a Saturday evening, we were sat within 5 minutes wait which was great. We were sat at a booth…read moreby a large window facing the lake which was beautiful. Every table comes with a cast iron skillet of cornbread, slaw, and pickled cabbage. The waitress was attentive to our table's needs and checked in regularly. The food was hot and the crab tasted so fresh and well seasoned- the shrimp was... ok (didn't taste as fresh). My husband enjoyed his catfish. I think the hushpuppies were the star of the show. Everything was what we had hoped for at Top O the River.

I personally was fine with it; he's an old timer and I won't question it. However, the food is very good. The small pepperoni was great and cheap. You can't beat that price point for the quality. I will visit again soon.

If I could give no stars, I would. First they made the one pizza entirely wrong. Ordered half…read moresausage, half pineapple. Looked and the pizza had sausage and pineapple across the entire pie. They had to remake, no problem. In the meantime, they said they would remake my other pizza ordered which was a regular cheese. Get home and open the box on the regular cheese and found the entire bottom burnt. Mind you, Im not talking a little overdone. Rather, charred black, inedible. When we called them to tell the owner the condition of the cheese pizza, he said we have to bring it back immediately for an exchange. We told him that its about 40 minutes away and since we had to wait for them to remake the one pie it was already past 8:00 and noone in the house ate. I told him we could bring it back tomorrow as I had to make do tonight. He said no and those are the rules. I said obviously I would never be a customer again and would write a review of this experience here.

Best Pizza in Northeast Alabama!…read more We have now been to Louie's twice. The first time we order a 16" Hawaiian, a Ham Pineapple and Cheese Stromboli and a vegetable Calzone. Fabulous. Today we ordered a 16" Cheesesteak Pizza, a 16" Bianca Pizza and a 16" Hawaiian. Again, fabulous. Louie does a spectacular job with his culinary offerings. We Love Louie's and can't wait to try a cheesesteak sandwich. Give Louie's a try, you won't be disappointed.

Instead of leaving a bad review, I decided to call the independent store first. The manager was very polite and apologetic and offered to make the order right for me in the future.

Thank you so much for making it right! You've earned my appreciation and loyalty!!
