Service was excellent, very accommodating, friendly waiting staff. Good food. Catfish was good, their shrimp popcorn was very good as well. Hush puppies are very underrrated. I'd get that again. Everything's fried. Fried catfish, fried shrimp, French fries, fried okra, fried AIR lol. J/k. Nah, I had the coleslaw. I got the big fillet catfish, I should've gotten the little fillets because i was getting full off the sides. Their Mac n cheese was alright, I liked their cake and cornbread.

"Medium rare" steak

I hate to rate one star when the service was great but I ordered a medium rare steak and I'll just let the photo do the talking.

Vegetable plate with whole kernel corn, black eyed peas, fried okra, and macaroni and cheese

We visited Little Libby's yesterday after wanting to try it out for a while. We found ourselves in the Madison area and figured why not give it a go! It was pretty busy for a Monday at around 12:15. We were seated quickly. It very much looks and feels like what it is: country cooking. Lots of Alabama and Auburn sports memorabilia on the walls, some wooden boards with funny sayings, the usual stuff you'd expect at a place like this. It seemed like everybody knew everybody, with multiple waitresses greeting customers by name, and many patrons stopping at the tables of others to catch up. That's always a neat experience. The service we received was friendly and professional. Generous, too. She let us choose if we wanted hush puppies, rolls, or cornbread for the table, and when we couldn't agree, she brought us a little of both of what we asked for. The hush puppies were crunchy and savory, and the rolls were warm and soft. The butter spread was the sort of sweet, oily, prepackaged kind. I opted for a vegetable plate, and my boyfriend got the 2 catfish fillet meal. The portion sizes are HUGE. Boyfriend is a big guy and easily would've been full off of one fillet. His dish came with fries, MORE hush puppies, slaw, and a slice of cake. We didn't realize dessert came with meals, but that was nice. He said the slaw was too sweet and mushy. The French fries were okay, very hot, not super crispy or salty. The catfish was good. Not the best he'd ever had (nor I), but crunchy, tender, and not particularly fishy tasting. His meal was pretty solid, worthy of maybe 3.5/5. Mine was a good bit more disappointing. I had fried okra, black eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, and whole kernel corn. The corn was out of a can - no flavor except a vague saltiness. The macaroni and cheese was, if you can believe it, too cheesy. It tasted like straight velveeta, which may work for some people, but tasted overwhelmingly like fake cheese to me, which was a no. The black eyed peas were alright. A little over cooked, but the flavor was good. Fried okra was definitely the best dish. Again, not the best I've ever had, but fresh tasting, hot and crispy. The cake was just okay. It was a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. The icing was cloyingly sweet, but the cake was relatively moist, and the fact that it was free means I really can't complain too much, haha. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience here, but I likely wouldn't return due to the fact that there are similar, better places to visit.

Complimentary hush puppies when you sit down. The sweet tea was perfect. Not super sweet and good tea flavor

This is now one of my favorites in Huntsville. Really great southern cooking. This is the type of place I search for. I had the seafood platter and a sweet tea. The catfish was very tasty. The prices are family friendly. My huge dinner was $20. I'm coming back.

Libby's sells Breakfast Now!

Love this place but NEVER get the Catfish to go. It is Always BEST in house. The Breakfast is Grandma's house just wish they had Chocolate Gravy!

Lunch special of catfish nuggets, hush puppies, green beans, collard greens and pinto beans. Yummy!!!

Yesterday after driving to Decatur to get our second Moderna shot, we decided to pick up late lunch and head home to await sore arms. We picked Little Libby's Catfish & Diner based on Yelp reviews which were not recent. The restaurant was busy for Friday after 1pm with people picking up takeout/to go orders. Inside there were several diners all socially distanced. The wait staff were very nice and accommodating. We ordered a grilled chicken salad and two lunch specials of catfish nuggets and three sides for about $8 with tax for the lunch specials. Deal of the day!!! Our nuggets were crisp, juicy, not oily and delicious after riding in the car an additional 50 minutes before eaten. Hubs had fried okra, green beans and collard greens for his sides. I had green beans, collard greens and pinto beans for my sides. Yummy!!! I will not be able to go to BM's again because the food is so salty. Little Libby's did not over salt or over grease the sides. They were seasoned well. Looking around at all the elderly people over 65, I realized we were the youngest customers by 10 or more years with hubs at 64. Seeing so many elders was an indication to me the food was not overly salted. My last visit to the other place did not have elders in large numbers. Mostly younger than 45-50 were at BM's. The grilled chicken was juicy and complimented by the homemade ranch dressing. My salad was great with crisp lettuce, red onions (yum), cheese, tomatoes, cucumber and lots of crackers. My great surprise when I checked out the food after arriving home was the dessert of fresh spice cake. It was delicious and was a perfect end to my delectable lunch. We will return to try other items. A+ for food, accuracy of order and welcoming staff.

Catfish dinner - large

Since it's in their name, I tried their catfish dinner. It was very very good. The pieces were large, moist and well seasoned. The sides and hush puppies were very good too.

Honey cake, soooooo good.

I like to look down on people who look down on things and it's with no small amount of humility…read morethat I confess to sitting at the new Grimaldis eating pizza with my wife laughing at the restaurant across the street called Chuck's Fish. We'd never heard of it and having recently returned from the gulf I was feeling rather smug about seafood. What could this Chuck know about it all? Feeling adventurous, we decided to walk over and check it out after eating an entire pizza. Pizza was pretty good. Chuck's Fish was epic. I love that there's no TV at the bar. I love the decor. I love the fact that the namesake was a civil rights attorney. I love the fact that I can get incredible sashimi and order our daughter a pizza that is just as good as the joint across the street. Chuck I apologize. I promised the bar staff I'd Yelp you up after the first visit but once bitten twice shy so I gave it another go. I'm at your bar now. Trudy is helping me out. She's a pro. So was the team here on Saturday. That's why I'm back in fact. The people. Also. The food. Can go on about the food. But. Y'all. Just come and experience it. This social media stuff is only good for so much. A nudge. A hint. An inkling. Hamachi ponzu with fresh jalapeño. Yes. Get that. Goyza with one perfectly crisped side? Yeah. Two of those. Catch of the day? Either way is gonna be good. Tks Charles!!!! You got two new regulars. Hopefully many many more.

I had a wonderful dinner here celebrating my boyfriend's promotion at work…read more Chuck's is a beautiful low lit restaurant, with a calm yet upscale atmosphere. The decor in here is absolutely beautiful. Our server Stephanie was the sweetest ever. She gave us recommendations and helped us navigate choices on the menu. I opted for a glass of their rosé while he got their old fashioned, wasn't his favorite since they did not have Buffalo Trace. He's not a fan of Bulleit. However he was alright with it. We got the Cowboy sushi roll and snapper necks as appetizers. Both very flavorful and cooked well. Having Louisiana hot sauce was the icing on the cake for him. Entrees we got were both mainly red snapper, he got it Parmesan crusted and I went for bronzed because it came with mango salsa over rice pilaf. He had risotto. Both dishes were very good, however they definitely could have benefited from a bit more salt (in our opinion). Green beans were cooked extremely well. We both cleaned our plates! As for desserts I went for the bread pudding and he opted for the creme brûlée since he had never had any. Bread pudding was absolutely immaculate and I'm glad Steph talked me into adding ice cream. He wished he had gotten my dessert after trying it but his creme brûlée was still pretty decent. Not a big custard guy. Overall this was a great experience and to help others gauge their bill, we spend a little under $200 before the tip. Not extremely cheap but not overly expensive. We just like trying it all - drinks, apps, entrees and desserts. Would love to come back soon!

Hostess was not very friendly and we were not greeted when we came inside she looked up at us…read moremultiple times before we got a hang on. The restaurant was clean-looking. I did not check out the bathrooms. The decor and lighting were all good. The food was really good, and our server was decent she was friendly but seemed like she had too many tables. I got a seafood boil with shrimp and crawfish and blue crab, The blue crab was a little disappointing as I though it was going to be just legs as most places would do but they put whole crabs in there which of course you can't eat 99% of a crab so it was just for the weight as you pay by the pound. Food was seasoned really good and it was all delicious.

Wanted seafood and what better choice than a boil. I went with combo 1 (snow crab, shrimp,…read moresausage, boiled eggs, potatoes, corn on the cobb). The seasoning choice is next, I did the juicy (cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper). And finally choose the heat. I went medium and you could feel slight heat, a step up to hot would have been ok. The boil itself was good. You must use the gloves and bib, don't worry about cool points you are there to eat. The flavors of the juicy was great and all the seafood was seasoned nicely. The corn was excellent. And service was super fast. The portions are good, I know snow crab is a challenge to get the meat since the legs are thin. The flavor was good with a lot of work. Recommend the king crab.

Outstanding Bar Service Saved a Frustrated Start! I wanted…read moreto treat my friend to a unique dining experience for her 60th birthday--great food, drinks, ambiance, and top-tier service. After hearing rave reviews from friends, I decided to bring her to Stoney River. Due to a packed Saturday schedule on September 19th, I wasn't able to make a reservation in advance. When we arrived, I explained to the host that we didn't have a reservation but were hoping to get a table to celebrate a milestone birthday. The host looked at the system, seemed unsure of what to do, and called another team member over. After some whispering, he informed us there was a one-hour wait for a table, but we could choose to sit at the bar immediately. Sitting at the bar wasn't our ideal vision for a special birthday dinner- my friend doesn't drink, and I don't drink and drive. However, after fighting heavy traffic to get there and being very hungry, we decided to take seats at the bar to try and salvage the night. What was really disturbing was during our two-plus hours at the restaurant, we watched two tables remain empty the entire time. It was deeply frustrating to sit at the bar and wonder why guests were being given a long wait time when open seating was available in plain sight. However, Tracey and Austin completely turned our night around! Despite the rocky start, our experience at the bar was fantastic thanks to these two great bartenders. Tracey went above and beyond by crafting delicious, custom mocktails so we could properly toast to the occasion. Both Tracey and Austin gave us spot-on appetizer and entree recommendations, and their service was flawless. Even with a busy bar with only three bartenders working, they never missed a beat--no one was left waiting, and no one had to flag anyone down. Thanks to Tracey and Austin, our initial frustration melted away. We were able to relax, enjoy the great ambiance, and give my friend the wonderful 60th birthday celebration she deserved. Management needs to look into their seating logistics, but the food and bar staff are exceptional! Food & Drinks: 5/5 Bar Service (Tracey & Austin): 5/5 Host Stand & Seating Logistics: 2/5

Our server, Alana, was wonderful -- attentive and made the whole visit feel special. We kicked things off with the peach bellini carafe ($20), which was a fantastic start.

On top of all that, it wasn't expensive either -- really solid value for the quality. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new brunch spot!

They were only allowing three people at a time into the store and when you did get in you only were able to go about three feet into the store. This was my first time here so I am not sure of their normal process. Today it was wait in line, get inside, place your order, pay your money, and then wait in line agin for your food to cook. It appeared they only sell their food cooked as a "meal" where it includes potatoes, and corn. Not sure if they just sell frozen seafood because they were so focused today on just taking orders. One of the many stapled signs outside the store that I did not notice when I got there was one that said there would be a wait period of 30-40 minutes after you placed your order for your meal to be cooked. Oh, and their hours state they closed at 7:00 but the evening I was there they stopped taking orders at 6:15, good thing I got there a little early. I got the crab legs and crawfish. I can say that the meals I ordered were very good, but then by the time I go them I was pretty hungry. I will definitely be back.

All three steaks were cooked perfectly. The wedge salad was on point the fried green tomatoes some of the best that I have had it's all about the crust not too heavy, not too greasy because you wanna taste the tomato and these were perfect. We utilized the server regarding winds by the glass and he did not disappoint. They have a pretty comprehensive mocktail list although the spicy one does have a lot of kick. I will definitely be back to this restaurant with my friends when I'm back in Huntsville and I'm kicking myself because I chose a book by its cover. Char is located in a outside mall type while the Purveyor is located in a more trendy part of town I went with the outside of the building instead of my gut LOL Highly recommend this restaurant
