J Rodgers BBQ & Soul Food is a long-standing old-school barbecue place in Saraland, Alabama and…read moreafter my visit today, let me rave about this fine establishment. First off, the service here is absolutely amazing. I believe everyone that worked here greeted on me. A little of restaurants forget that they are in the hospitality field, well, this amazing establishment certainly remembers that they are in the hospitality business and other establishments can learn a thing or three about service from J. Rodgers BBQ and Soul Food. They offer a buffet, as well as plates. I looked at the buffet and saw a nice selection. I was craving chicken and while they had fried chicken on the buffet, I went with the smoked chicken plate and for my two sides, I went with potato salad and collard greens. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch. The chicken was flavorful and the sides were good. I would definitely recommend J. Rodgers BBQ & Soul Food.

The food here is fantastic! Every bit as good as Maddie's used to be downtown. When my husband…read moresaid he found a soul food place we needed to try, I was definitely on board. Initially he suggested only the wings, but I wanted to know what else was on the menu. I almost jumped out of my seat at the mention of smothered pork chops!! Let me tell you, those smothered pork chops were amazing! Fork tender and with a delicious gravy, I was definitely in heaven as far as the smothered pork chops were concerned. The collard greens were awesome. They weren't overcooked at all. They had a nice, toothsome body to them and a slightly sweet but savory flavor and some bits of meat and (I think) neck bones included. The candied yams were also tasty and delicious. They weren't cooked to much. They were sweet as expected but also had a combination of spices to give them more flavor than just sweet. My husband got the fried pork chop along with collards and fried okra. I sampled his pork chop and okra and both were very good. I'd get both of them for myself in a heartbeat. But that gravy for the smothered pork chops is hard to resist! The batter on the fried pork chop was light and crispy with a delicate flavor that hinted at salt, pepper, garlic powder, and perhaps onion powder. It wasn't overpowering and complimented the pork very well. We did get a small selection of wings; plain for our child, lemon pepper for me, sweet n spicy for my husband, and Parmesan for all of us to share. They were all (well, I didn't try the sweet n spicy ones, but my husband enjoyed them) absolutely delicious! My only regret is forgetting to take pictures. Will definitely get some the next time we order here! We will certainly be back for more! UPDATE!! We went back and I remembered to get pictures! Also, my husband tried the ribs and the red beans and rice. He loves them. The BBQ sauce is sweet and smokey.

I am 75 but have only lived in AL in the Mobile area about 10 years and have dined at the Barnyard…read moreBuffet only about half dozen times or less. The first time I thought: This is it.....I have found my place to eat!! My 2nd visit was a year or 2 later and I thought: This is still pretty good but not really good like I remember. After all the fairly recent features of the restaurant and Chefs on Local TV, so a year or2 ago I tried again but still not nearly as overall good. So I gave it some time and was nearby today 1 Oct 2026, & I tried it again. Down, down, down!! Not nearly like I'd hoped. So I wrote this review in hopes that some of my ideas and comments might be considered for possible improvement or at least create a couple alternative menu items for future customers to choose. Ideally owners managers would create a ongoing system to solicit exit comments from randomized customers for future considerations of possible changes. COST: All must pay up front at the cash register upon entering the restaurant. This is quite different than most other restaurants, cafeterias and buffets in the local Mobile Metro area. My senior early bird price was Good at $16.99. But cost me $19.44 due to added undisclosed and unforementioned credit card or other "non-cash" charges that were not even shown in the final calculations on the ticket receipt, just listed the sales tax. The extra charges were just lumped into the final cost figure, something that the customer would never know unless they looked very closely at the receipt. (Just be upfront and transparent with your customers if you wan them to be happy while eating your food!!). The cashier also requested a tip pay then but I declined with the thought that tips should be afterwards & based on excellent performance above and beyond what duties or work that is just regular part of their job. In my case. The server only brought my drink and checked with me a time or two but is that part of the expected regular job I think; nothing extra nor nothing special was done. But I did leave a very modest tip anyway just to say - Thank You! FOOD: I usually love green beans but these were mushy, over-cooked , broken apart and excessively salty. Apparently way over-strirred during the cooking process. Looked & tasted More like rewarmed leftovers! The added seasoning used did not suit my taste at all. Overall was more like a low-end school cafeteria taste & style. 1.5 Rutabagas looked ok & were cooked properly but were in large chunks and very bland tasting with almost none of that fresh crisp, sorta sharp rutabaga flavor that most garden fresh ones have. Kinda just "old" taste & texture. 3 Mac & Cheese casserole pan looked great, browned across the top and around the edges! Well cooked and good general overall flavor & good macaroni but to use four cheeses together was excessive and combined gave the "gravy" part a chalky texture/flavor that I do not like at all. Just plain cheddar cheese in mac-n-cheese is by far the BEST and I've eaten many, many servings over the years. A couple little recipe tweaks and your Mac & Cheese could be AWESOME!! 3.2 Cornbread muffins were lumpy inside and were yellow cornmeal.....Nah! And adding sweetening or sugar in the recipe makes it awful tasting to me. Sweet bread is for desserts to be eaten after the main meal. The lumpy part inside could probably be helped by adding a little more raw egg and oil into the pre mix....not regular old bulk vegetable oil but Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil only! The very best cornbreads are made with only white cornmeal! Some of the most awesome bread of all kinds I've ever eaten was cornbread using white cornmeal and triangle sliced after being cooked in a cast iron round skillet!!! 1.0 Banana Pudding is ok good for a "Cool Whip" base pudding but is only an authentic Southern home country style if the base is made of egg custard pudding topped with egg-white meringue. The BY bananas used appear to be off-brand (not Chiquita or similar) and did not taste fully ripe, firm but sorta soft. These had very little of that expected excellent banana flavor. The cookie wafers used appeared and tasted like bulk off-brand not like the expected Nabisco Nilla Wafers, which are the only kind that should be used in any GREAT Banana Pudding!! 3.5 Raw carrots & Broccoli fresh & good! 4.3 Pickled okra Excellent! 4.9 Fried Okra looked good, not much fresh okra flavor & taste. 2.5 Fried Chicken livers, not much fresh liver flavor & taste. 3.0 Green lima beans, looked good & well cooked just not much fresh vegetable flavor. 2.9 Vanilla ice cream, tasted pretty good but very icy more like ice milk. 4.1 Peach cobbler Very good. 4.2 The Mug decaf root beer was good but unexpectedly sweet! I thought it was a unsugared diet drink. I only had one plate of reg food with just small servings of each item plus two little bowls of desserts.

I was working from home so I went there on my lunch break. When I walked inside I saw a few patrons sitting at tables. There was a a buffet style counter set up with the work staff behind it. Each of them greeted me as I walked toward the counter. I was asked what I wanted and I said thought instantly about the fried chicken I saw. I ordered that and the meal comes with three sides and cornbread as well. I chose mac and cheese, black eyed peas, and mash potatoes and gravy. The server rung me up and I took my plate to go. I can't remember the first thing I tasted when I got home. I believe it was the mac and cheese. It doesn't really matter. The sides were really good. Mac and cheese is usually my favorite side but I thoroughly enjoyed the black eyed peas. Don't get me wrong the mac and cheese was excellent but the peas were superb. The mash potatoes were creamy and the gravy was savory. The cornbread was the type that had the pieces of corn in it. I liked it. Now the main course was of course the chicken. It really looked and tasted like authentic homemade fried chicken. I loved the seasoning on the chicken. It was some of the best chicken I've had in a while. I definitely want to come back.
