a menu for a chicken sandwich
Meena C.

Alright. So I have passed Guthrie's for many years in Trussville, and have never stopped by. My husband was out of town and on my way home one day, my car made the turn into their parking lot. Which speaking of, their lot is weird. Huge lot for such a smalll building that doesn't offer dine in options! So odd! There aren't many selections on the menu which is good for someone who gets analysis paralysis when there are too many choices. I order and quickly got my food, picked up the baby, and headed home. The chicken and fries were flavorful and crispy! We really enjoyed them! The slaw was super mushy and soupy... the purple cabbage had turned everything purple. We just skipped that part. I'd stop here again when I'm in the mood for some good fries and tenders!

This location lacks consistency so this is my biggest issue whenever I come here. "The box" is the traditional order. My food was fresh.... Fresh but some of the bites of chicken were extremely salty. I had to spit it out! High blood pressure salty! The fries , coleslaw and Texas toast were all decent. However, seem to always be different each time I visit. I never have any service issue when I come here. It appears that they are rebranding which I like the red accents versus the previous green accents. I don't eat Guthrie's often but I will crave it from time to time. I just wish this particular location would be a little more consistent with the their food. I am still a Guthrie's fan!

Box dinner-tenders, fries, cole slaw, and toast

I ordered the box dinner (tenders, fries, Cole slaw, and toast). The drink isn't included. Unfortunately, everything without the exception of the toast was fried too hard (nor requested). There was no line either so I guess the food had already been sitting under the light for a while. Usually the food is pretty fresh so maybe this particular time I caught them on a bad day.

Excellent. Great service. Best fast food chicken in the game. Doesn't make sense to me why their rating is so low

The chicken was delicious, as usual. The sauce was terrific. Guthrie's stays true to their core.

My love. Guthrie's. I've grown up on its splendor. Everytime I eat here it tastes like nostalgia. And good seasoning.

Everything is always fresh, I could see they were making slaw when I went through the drive though, I figured it came in a bag or something.

I'm in the Trussville area often and have noticed this place for a while, but today was the first…read moretime I finally had the chance to try it. For context, I'm a certified KCBS BBQ judge and run a small BBQ catering business. That doesn't make me special, but it does mean I know BBQ. Rodney Scott is well-known in the BBQ world for whole hog, so I've been looking forward to trying his food for a long time. Today was the day. I ordered the 3-meat plate with ribs, pulled pork, and turkey, plus two sides. Ribs: Excellent smoke flavor and seasoning, but very undercooked--they needed at least another hour on the smoker. I received three bones, managed to eat most of two, and left the third. Big disappointment. Turkey: Tender but dry, and it tasted like it had been sliced a while earlier and held. Very neutral flavor with no smoke or seasoning coming through. Just okay, but I'd skip it next time. Pulled pork: Completely underwhelming. Tender, but almost no flavor and none of the smoke I expected, especially after tasting the ribs. Mac and cheese: Grainy and not enjoyable. There are several reasons mac and cheese can turn grainy, but either way, I'd pass on it next time. Collard greens: Surprisingly good, but I was shocked they didn't have pepper juice available--a Southern staple with greens. I'd eat these again, but I'd bring my own pepper juice. Overall: I left disappointed. I mentioned to the staff--who were very friendly--that the meal wasn't good, but it was brushed off. With the level of anticipation I had for Rodney Scott's, this visit didn't come close to expectations. I don't see myself returning.

I have come to the conclusion that I just don't care for this RS location!! Food has been subpar…read moreboth times I've come here. Each time being 11 months a part so the newness should have worn off my now! My visit on 8/23/23 was during lunchtime. I went inside to place my to go order. It wasn't crowded so I was helped right away. So service was cool. I was even asked if I wanted a drink while I waited for my order. Nice gesture and good customer service. That's where the good ends!!' I get home and my ribs are cold and yet again greens are salty as ________ (you fill in the blank with your own word) I won't be back to this location!!! I refuse to pay for cold food. Why? It's unacceptable , especially when the food isn't cheap! Go to the their other locations in town and skip this one!

I was here a few months ago and I was very favorable of the entire experience. My recent visit on…read more9/29, was a little disappointing. I ordered 10 traditional wings and a side of fried green tomatoes. I requested my wings crispy. They weren't yet again and not only that the wings were absolutely tiny!!! But the fried green tomatoes were excellent!! I really enjoyed them over the wings. The service I received was good just as the time before.

A friend of mine recommended that I go to J Wings in Birmingham. I was a bit skeptical initially…read morebecause coming across a place that has perfected the art of fried wings is rare. I decided to take him up on it because his talk was convincing. I made a pit stop there driving all the way from Washington, D.C. to Mississippi. Thankfully, it wasn't too far off my route. I thought I was going to walk into a restaurant, but it's actually inside a gas station. So definitely do not expect restaurant ambiance nor vibes. There's nowhere to sit to dine. Strictly carry-out. I ordered the hot lemon pepper wings meal since the staff said it's one of their most popular wings flavor. I must say the wings were not impressive to me. Perhaps I came at a bad night, but it was way too salty for my liking. I knew it would be hot, but it wasn't clearing my sinus type of hot. I know lemon pepper wings will be salty but more tangy due to the lemon flavor. It was so salty, I had to stop eating em. The fries, oddly, were under-seasoned. Thankfully, I had my own salt and added it to my fries so they were saved. The drink I ordered, a lemonade & fruit punch mix, was yummy. Would I go here again? Likely not. The wings were not impressive enough to go all the way to Birmingham. Hopefully, they can improve on the salt balance of the lemon pepper wings.
