This has to be the best damn bar burger I've ever had. So funny story my husband has talked about…read morethe winery burger for 20+ years saying it's prob one of the best burgers in Decatur. I lived there with him for 4 years before we moved away back in 2004 and I never tried them not even when we were back to visit. Not sure why maybe time constraints who knows. This visit I was like i am going to try this burger because I wanted to know if it's worth all the hype. I am here to tell you I don't think they get enough hype. There should be lines down the block to get this burger. They are made fresh to order and my burger was so juicy and full of flavor. I hands down think this is one of the best burgers I've tasted in a bar or restaurant. Someone needs to get the food channel out to visit this place.

Still one of my favorites. Dark place, Good Burgers and Cold Beer. It is "cave like".read more

Interesting place. Definitely worth our stop passing through here. It's a barbecue smokehouse in…read moresomeone's actual house! They do a bustling business. The food is actually very good. They put together some really well crafted sandwiches that we felt to have been a reflection of the care of putting together each recipe. The fries were really good, nice, crispy, seasoned well and HOT! The Cole Slaw was excellent on the sandwiches, but as a stand alone side, not so great, just average. It's more than just casual. When we were there, and I assume this to be the usual, there were no non-disposable utensils or plates. The place is cramped, and only one table (2 two-seaters pushed together. Everything else were booths, and on the small side to accommodate the limited space no doubt. The kitchen is right at the tables, and the entire place is a bit (actually a lot) crowded. They do a bustling take out business though. That was evident. So I think that would be reflective of how good the food is. The reviewer who gave it one dollar sign to reflect price, failed us. Three of us, three sandwiches, two fries and one cole slaw, with three small fountain drinks, yet it was over $60. I cannot give my usual highly descriptive, wifey assisted review, but she's with me writing this. We've already left and I got no pictures! Just one of those days where you're in a rush.

My wife and I split half rack of ribs, 1/3 poind of brisket and pork, jalepeno cornbread, peach Bourbon baked beans, and brisket mac and cheese. This is going to sound silly especially on how good the brisket and pork were - but I enjoyed the beans more than anything else. These beans were sweet and spicy with peaches, Bourbon, and red pepper in them for a truly amazing experience. The brisket and pulled pork were elite as both were tender and juicy. The ribs started off great and fell off the bone but the end was a little too tough. Jalapeño cornbread was sticky, sweet, and had the kick you would expect. Brisket mac was cheese but the brisket seemed out of place to me. There are 6 sauces: Carolina Red (mild), Georgia Mustard, Perfect 9 BBQ (vinegar tomato base), Triple S (medium), Sweet Chili, and Hot Carolina Red. All sauces were fantastic! Based on my review, Carol Lou's serves up a 5-star experience but 2 things holds them back. 1. They charge you for sauce. They charge $1 for an extra 2 oz container of sauce. You only get one choice of sauce with your sandwiches or meat and you don't get any on the side if you choose for them to dump it on the meat. Carol Lou's sauces are not made of gold and it is ridiculous to charge for extra sauce. 2. Sweet tea was rurnt and that is a Southern Word for bad and awful. It tasted old and it had gone bad. Other than those 2 things, the food is excellent but if you are a sauce-aholic and sweet tea lover like me, be prepared.

We arrived as they were opening at 5:00 (we like to eat at old people o'clock) and had a seat. Robbie's is a really nice vibe with a long wooden bar and great artwork on the walls. Our server and service were fantastic, but the food was a disappointment. We both ordered the rib eye and it came with soup or salad, smashed potatoes and asparagus. We had salads with blue cheese dressing. The salad itself was kind of meh-way too many black olives that I wasn't expecting to be on there in the first place, and the blue cheese was so thin and had a vinegar taste to it as well-not great. Our steaks were just ok. Not enough sear on the outside and absolutely no flavor of being seasoned. This is the first time I've had to add salt to a steak in a very long time. Mom ordered rare and I ordered medium and mine came as rare as hers. I asked if I could get another minute or so on mine and they were great about taking care of it. The potatoes and asparagus were delicious. Bernaise sauce was a bit thin but tasty. We had ordered a spiced peach half on the side and it was yummy. I could've had just those and the potatoes and been quite happy! I would come back here and order something different on the menu, but my 3 star rating comes from the disappointment in the steaks. I expected a seared and seasoned melt in my mouth ribeye and was left wanting.

We got there a little after 5:00 and we were impressed as soon as we entered. They had closed all the bar seating so it was just tables for two and four. The lights were dimmed and soft jazz music was playing; creating a very romantic atmosphere. Each table had a single red rose and the TV was "tuned" to a fireplace. Our starter course was champagne accompanied by olive oil and slices of French bread. What a great way to start the evening! We each had filets and both were cooked to perfection. The steaks came by incredible roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables. We both finished our steaks and took home plenty of vegetables for tomorrow. We also had a caramel chocolate cake that looks delicious, but we were too full to eat so it's in our refrigerator waiting for us! Service by Kristi and Rodney was superior, the atmosphere was perfectly romantic and the price was very reasonable. All in all, it was a perfect Valentine's meal!
