I ordered a meat and two sides (fried catfish, mac n cheese & cabbage). I had to meal to go. I really enjoyed the meal. The cabbage was perfectly seasoned (not too much not too little), the mac n cheese was good. And catfish was fried nicely... just right. The portions were good and I was full after eating most of the food (I couldn't eat the last bite of the fish - I tried). I will definitely return to try other menu options.

Today, while I was driving through Bessemer, Alabama, I noticed a Soul food restaurant (The Back…read morePorch). This place reminded me of Soul Food restaurants in my hometown. I walked in around 11:30am today and there was a line of customers waiting for Sunday dinner. I ordered the "Sunday special "of Baked chicken with cornbread dressing/cranberry sauce with side of collard greens and macaroni and cheese with cornbread. Also, I ordered an extra side of cabbage greens. Oh my goodness, the food was very delicious! I enjoyed eating my dinner in the patio area of the front of the restaurant on this beautiful day. The customer service was amazing! I will visit this restaurant again soon during the week.

The problem was the cost and portion. Chicken and dressing, green beans and Mac and cheese. $9+. For a very small amount. They charge a la cart it seems. I got a little more than a tablespoon of green beans and paid &1.99 for it. All canned it seems. And... it took forever to get through the line. The slowest. Just like so many restaurants in Rome... if you don't know the food or service sucks then you don't know the food or service sucks. Drive a hour south to get good food.

I am so very glad that this restaurant came across something I was looking at recently. I popped on in on a Wednesday to see what I could see. I was pleased. Liver and onions will always put a smile on my face! I love a good meat and two cafeteria vibe. I had fried green tomatoes & turnips. Both sides were outstanding. Now what I did not like what that rice! Way too much butter but I do believe it was still on stand by from breakfast. I really appreciate the nice lady getting it for me so that's really why I didn't refuse it. The service was really nice and friendly by all the staff. I loved my food. I loved the sweet tea ( with lemons). And I looooved the cherry / pineapple cobbler I had to go. It's tastes like nothing I've ever had before. Pricing is reasonable for your typically restaurant of this nature. Cedar house is a family owned business that's been around for years. They are definitely in my lunch rotation now.

Fortunately they did and I got a good size portion of chick and dressing, cranberry sauce, creamed corn and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. I wish I could have gotten less starches but I'm grateful for the pick up nonetheless. What I'm curious about.., Why the use of tumeric in the chicken and dressing? I was born and raised in the Ham so I'm used to the way we normally do it. The look threw me off. It was as if yellow food coloring was used. The chicken was overdone as well. If not for these two, I would have given this a 5 star. But I can't get over the yellow.

I ate at the Children's of Alabama cafeteria, and honestly, it's pretty solid for what it is…read more Hospital food usually gets a bad reputation, but they actually try here. The options rotate a good bit, and there's always something that works whether you want a hot meal, a salad, or just something quick. The grill station is consistent, the veggies are usually cooked well, and the grab and go section is clutch if you're in a rush. The best part is that the food tastes fresher than you'd expect, and the prices are better than most places around the hospital district. The staff is friendly, and even during busy hours it moves fast enough that you're not standing around forever. My only complaint is that some days feel a little repetitive and the seating area can get crowded, especially around lunchtime. But overall, for a hospital cafeteria, it's clean, reliable, and way better than you'd think. I'd definitely eat here again if I'm at Children's for meetings.

Everything looked fresh and delicious in a clean environment. Hubby was underwhelmed by the size of the lemon pepper catfish but said that sauce was very tasty and made up for it. Tilapia was crispy like I like it, but dry for mom in law. It was busy but not too busy, with the buzz of various conversations, clinking of tableware, buffing of tables around us. Good variety of customers and no one overstayed their welcome to allow the next customers a seat. Each employee was personable and kept the lines flowing, and even after the register an older gentleman politely led us to the next available table which provides efficiency as well. Will be back!

I got the Veal, cobbler, fried green tomatoes, and cabbage with bread. The Veal was the star of the show. It was soft and tasted great. Best to point at your options because I asked for chicken fried steak but it was completely different from what I thought it would be. The cobbler was good. The fried green tomatoes were decent. Do not get the cabbage unless you need fiber. The service was ok. It took forever to get drinks at first but after that we got plenty of refills. I think this place is nice and I would love to come again.

After ordering a basic Short Stack with a side of sausage links, I noticed that the wall had a list of specials and flagged down the server to ask if it was too late to change to the Strawberry Shortcake version that was listed there. She checked and the kitchen said they could change it. Just before bringing it to my table the server also confided that apparently the Strawberry Shortcake version was no longer supposed to be on the menu but I was lucky they had everything still. I thought it was supposed to also include whipped cream (since they had already erased the chalkboard at that point, I couldn't be sure), however they were still pretty tasty even if not a looker per se. I don't dine here often but overall have been pleased when I have. The Chicken & Waffles (always ask for Strawberry Butter!) and the Fish & Chips are really good too.
