    The service here is a little weird and jarring at first. I hadn't gone more than 10 feet through…read morethe door when I was asked "What'll you have to drink?" You just have to know the procedure, but it wasn't only me, a Northerner whose brain hadn't yet fully recalibrated for the local accent. Locals were confused too. Procedure is this: tell them your drink preference (I had water), pick up a tray, put it on the counter, pick out a main, three sides, a dessert, slide it down to the register, pay, and take it to your table. At that point do you begin eating? No! Remove your items from the tray and they come by and pick it up. Now begin! You may be thinking "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld but I assure you it didn't feel that way. Just the quirky way they run the place. The waitress did warm up after I was there a while, came over to ask where I was from, etc. And to try to convince me to come back for breakfast! This is cafeteria style, with everything prepared ahead of time and kept warm on steam trays. So how do they keep that fried chicken so crunchy and delicious? Perhaps the best I've ever had, the batter so crunchy you could probably hear me eating from another room, assertively peppery, the large leg and thigh pieces perfectly cooked and juicy. (White meat also available.) My sides were lima beans, turnip greens, and yams. The highlight was the yams: super sweet but not in a bad way, balanced by good seasonings. The beans were fine, a bit salty. The only disappointment were the turnip greens, too finely chopped and overcooked. The portion sizes were decent. Also included is corn bread. Two choices: baked or fried. Never heard of fried so I tried that. Interesting but a little chewy and not so much corn flavor; next time I'd get the baked. Finishing this rather large lunch was a challenge for me but I managed, while taking in the local ambience. I saved the dessert for later. Dessert? Yes. I was also asked on ordering what I wanted for dessert. The only one that appealed was the red velvet cake (the others were a cobbler and bread pudding) so I got that. I assumed it was included but when I paid I saw it was not. $4; no big deal. It didn't look that good, a thin 1 inch slice tightly shrink wrapped on a paper plate. Looks were deceiving. The first time I actually liked red velvet cake, a light crumbly texture and cream cheese frosting that tasted of more than sugar. With the amount of frosting this tiny slice was quite filling and I'm glad it wasn't larger. All this for a little over $21. I think this was including tip but I'm not positive. Either way, great deal!

    Barb's is amazing! A little hole in the wall, nothing fancy, but the food is delicious! You can't…read morego wrong with anything from breakfast or dinner! Homestyle cooking at its finest!

    My Wife and I have been down here camping in Dothan Alabama for about two weeks now and we found…read morethis little gem just 30 minutes north west of where we're staying. My wife and I got burgers and they were delicious. No frozen patties here actually with the quality of the food makes me think that this restaurant doesn't even have a freezer. Everything I had was definitely made fresh in my opinion. And just when I was about to give up on looking for good fried green tomatoes my wife found this place. Do yourself a favor if you stop here, get an order because they were delicious! Crispy and crunchy in a good way. We're in Dothan for two more weeks and we will definitely be going back there a few mor times before we head to Florida. As far as the service you couldn't ask for anything better. We spent a month in Townsend Georgia last year and everyone was super nice and very friendly. I can't say that about the experience that I've been having here in the Dothan area, don't get me wrong all the people are very friendly and nice but unfortunately all of the places we had dinner at were not as friendly as the folks in Georgia were but this dinner changed all that for us. Good old southern hospitality came beaming through from everyone at this diner. They were all very kind and they even made sure that we knew that we may be getting snow this weekend. Finally portions, quality and prices were outstanding!!! If you're passing through do t hesitate to stop here for some great food, service and atmosphere.

    After a few months passed, I decided to give this diner another opportunity. The breakfast and…read moreservice was good and got the spot. On this particular day I ordered Al a carte--2 soft scramble eggs with cheese, hash browns with onions and ham, and one pancake. Listen, I still feel how I felt previously about the okra, so I'll just refrain from ordering that in the future. Otherwise, I'll continue to support this hometown establishment.
