    Lemon Pepper Baked Chicken (extremely salty), collards, cabbage, and hot water cornbread.
    Netta M.

    I ordered the Lemon Pepper Baked Chicken, Collards, Cabbage & Hotwater Cornbread. The LP chicken was extremely salty, a little tough to be a baked leg quarter and almost unbearable to eat. Surprisingly, the cabbage & collards were bland or maybe I'd consume so much sodium with the chicken that I couldn't taste any seasoning in the vegetables. Shortly after eating my meal, my head begin to hurt and I begin feeling a little dizzy, which was indicative that my BP was elevated. This was a new feeling for me since I don't typically have BP issues. I enjoyed the cornbread the most. I spent $18 for high blood pressure. This was a takeout order.

    I am never disappointed whenever my sister recommends a place! Sister came through! It was a line out the door but the wait was not too long. The place is a bit small but that did not deter me from wanting to try out a restaurant I have not been to. Everything on the line looked good. I chose the lemon pepper chicken and dressing. The food was seasoned pretty good and I feel as though I got my money's worth. The staff was friendly and I will be coming back whenever I am in the area again.

    So glad I found this place yesterday! I was in the area with my son and I'll definitely be going back! The food exceeded all my expectations and was amazing ! It was tasty, seasoned just right, and online ordering was a breeze . Everything we got was worth the purchase : fried green tomatoes , chicken gizzards , fried chicken dinner with Mac/cheese, turnip greens, pinto beans , fried okra .. yams and red velvet cake. Definitely recommend and they will see me again ! Recently relocating from Chicago this warmed my heart to get a taste of home!

    I'm giving this joint 5stars because of one single reason-how they treated me. I'm just wrapping up a weekend in Huntsville, AL with my wife. My visit thus far has been ok, but sprinkled with some racist looks and definitely some unhappy and disappointed people at my interracial marriage. Us white folks don't exactly have the greatest reputation in this state, so I understand the human desire to hate and want to separate. However, these awesome ladies made a conscious decision to treat me exactly the same and I couldn't be more thankful. Yes the food is awesome, but right now I'm talking about something way deeper than flavors-I'm talking about showing love to others. I will be returning here if I come back to Huntsville. I thank everyone at Sac's-y'all are a beacon of love in a world that chooses hate first and to never forgive. ...after reading this again, I realized there's some significant information I still needed to share about this awesome place. So, first off, if you're new to the are or are just visiting like we were, just know that it's not located in a "commercial" area, so it basically in a neighborhood, but close to the interstate. Yes, food is delicious-you don't get much better than soul food from the local scene-if the locals like it and they're still in business, you can trust it:)

    Y'all know I don't typically give 5 star reviews but ever since black restaurant week in huntsville I've been trying to focus on locally black owned businesses. Unfortunately there isn't a page for their bar (Sacs bar and grill) but when I tell you the vibe, food and ambiance is amazing. I haven't had a chance to try the soul food from Sacs Kitchen but I've tried the wings and cheese fries from their bar and they were perfect. If your looking for the perfect place to eat some good bar food, soul food, or just relax head over to Sacs Kitchen (to eat) or to Sacs Bar and Grill to get you a delicious drink and good food.

    On the North East side of Rocket City, there lies a hidden soul food gem, Sac's Kitchen located on Mastin Lake Road North West in Huntsville, Alabama. The quaint inconspicuous space caters both to those who want to grab and go or those who have time to savor a good meal. To the left of the cozy room is a buffet lined with a plethora of southern comfort foods. To the right were maybe a half a dozen, plus a few tables covered in plastic red table cloths: the southern way. A paper napkin knife and fork duo complemented the vintage aura to the table. My Order: 3 golden fried delicious chicken wings with a side order of mashed potatoes and gravy, 3 golden fried fresh green tomatoes and two luscious sweet rolls. The owner had a few moments to sit down with me for a quick interview. Erica: "Who is Sac's?" Carlos: "My mother Sarah Douglas, who is my co-owner, it's her nickname. Her nickname is Sac." Me: "What year did Sac's open?" Carlos: "We've been in business for five years now. July 12, 2013." Me: "What was the inspiration behind pursuing this as a career?" Carlos: "My mother could always cook. She loves cooking. We began by selling plates outside of the house." Me: "What are your signature dishes?" Carlos: "Lemon pepper chicken, catfish plates, banana pudding." Me: "Do you have any contributions to the community that you'd like to mention?" Carlos: "Yes. We feed the homeless every year for Thanksgiving. Church sponsorships, and we sponsor Mae Jemison High School ...etc.

    I love Soul Food! However, because of the calories I don't eat it often. I came home to AL for work as I don't live in AL anymore, and I was chatting with my uncle on places to try. He mentioned Sac's to me and said it was good, so I decided to try it for dinner. I was pretty pleased with their food. For the most part, I enjoyed their food and it definitely gave me " Sunday dinner at big mamas house" vibes! Lol! Kia was who was helping me and she was nice and accommodating. My only complaint as far as waiting for the food was that the wait was an hour. I tried to call and place an order for pick-up but they didn't answer the phone. I then decided to just drive to their location and place my order. I waited outside in my car for an hour. They did mess up one order, but they caught it in the restaurant and accommodated me and I didn't have to say a word. I did appreciate that! I picked up an order for myself and three other people. Between all of us we ordered Catfish Fillets, Pork Chop, Chicken and Dressing, Mac & Cheese, Fried Okra, Cabbage, Green Beans, Yams, Coleslaw, Hot Water Cornbread, and Red Velvet Cake. All of the food was delicious and seasoned well. However, the Catfish and Fried Okra were salty. They were both fried perfect but someone was a little heavy handed on the salt. My only other complaint was the Mac & Cheese. It wasn't really the style I like. It was a little more of a "runny" consistency than I prefer. I like thick and creamy, not lose and saucy. It was also a little bland in flavor. Other than certain items being salty and the Mac & Cheese, everything else was really good! The Cabbage, Green Beans, Slaw, and Yams were yummy! The Chicken and Dressing was very flavorful. The dressing was perfect and wasn't dry. The Pork Chop was also delicious. All of their fried items were fried to the perfect golden brown. Now their Hot Water Cornbread was amazing! I don't know what it was about it, but I kept going back for more. We had to save the best for last, Red Velvet Cake! It's my fav! Their cake is really good. It's moist, a vibrant red and taste like Red Velvet! It's topped with cream cheese frosting and pecans! The perfect combination! Overall, Sac's was pretty good! I would certainly suggest calling ahead if you can get through or you might have a long wait. Besides a few minor things, I enjoyed Sac's.

    Great down home southern-style soul food. Got the baked chicken from the buffet layout just to try it... it was delish!! All the sides were great too! Going back again to try other foods

    8/2026 update: Hubs and I had dinner at Southern Table a couple of Saturdays ago. The experience…read morewas more of a 3.5 star rating. I was disappointed because it is rare for us to enjoy a meal out, and Southern Table, to this point, has been my favorite place to have dinner in the entire north Alabama region! I crave Chef Yokley's wood-fired oysters and find this dish consistently filling and delicious as it has been for years! Because Hubs did not want any oysters, I got 2 pairs of oysters on the happy hour menu which were extremely reasonably priced at either $1.00 or $2.00 per oyster. Were they wood-fired? Yes. Were they rich and decadent like all previous times I have tried them? No. Were they small? Yes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a small oyster, in fact my favorite oysters, Murder Points, are typically small, or small-ish. The recent visit, the oysters were way smaller than the shucked shell they were heated in with the parmesan cheese sauce, meaning the cheese overwhelmed and dominated any oyster goodness (brininess) you could have tasted and enjoyed. And, the last of the four oysters had some tough mollusk piece that I actually had to just spit the whole oyster out in my napkin. Either bad shucking or lack of expediting/checking the dishes leaving the kitchen, or both. It was sad. Chef Yokley posts a lot of photographs of his dishes/drinks on Facebook and I had seen his crab cakes with a unique and very interesting sounding salad with citrusy flavored greens and unique berries I had never tried. Well, wouldn't you expect the server to tell you about the specials and describe them? Ours did not. I had to pull up the photograph from Facebook and ask the server about it. They offered an appetizer size of the dish and an entree sized version. I got the appetizer. It was okay. There wasn't as much of a sear on these smallish crab cakes, as I like and the "salad" was more of a garnish, meaning, it would have been nice to have more of the salad than I received. I had to chase down the server to get hubs water refilled (he would have had non alcoholic beer but Southern Table doesn't have any) and to get me a second glass of house white wine. Hubs ordered a wood fired pork sandwich with French Fries. He said it tasted a lot like Lawler's barbecue. He added "and that's not a bad thing!" The sandwich was nothing special, honestly to the Hubs. It will be a while before I return to Southern Table, sadly. I think Chef Yokley needs to step up his expediting game and his attention to detail.

The star of the meal was the fried green tomatoes. They were thick, juicy, perfectly fried, and honestly didn't need any dipping sauce or condiment at all. They're some of the best I've had. Minnie and I both ordered the whole catfish with mashed potatoes and fried green tomatoes. We absolutely demolished our plates. The catfish was delicious, and the mashed potatoes tasted genuinely homemade. The brown gravy was rich and flavorful and paired perfectly with them. My mom ordered the 4-vegetable plate with fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and fried okra. She loved everything on her plate. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the restaurant was busy the entire time we were there. There was a steady stream of both dine-in customers and takeout orders, which tells you a lot about the place's reputation. My only complaint is the wait time. Food takes a while to come out, especially if you're ordering fried items, but they do warn you ahead of time. The quality makes it clear they're cooking to order, so if you decide to visit, just be prepared to be patient. If someone asked me where to take an out-of-town guest for authentic Southern cooking, G's Country Kitchen would be at the top of my list. The food is homemade, comforting, and exactly what people imagine when they think of classic Southern cuisine. Overall, the food was fantastic, the service was welcoming, and it's easy to see why G's Country Kitchen is a go-to spot for homestyle country cooking. We'll definitely be back.

The owner personally sat with our team, walking us through the menu item by item, sharing stories, and offering recommendations on his favorite dishes. That personal touch set the tone for the whole lunch and made the meal feel both special and deeply personal. The food itself was soul-satisfying in every way. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, the kind of dish that makes you pause after the first bite. The catfish was especially delicious as well, tender, flavorful, and cooked just right, embodying everything you hope for in classic country cooking. And the banana pudding was a standout, instantly transporting me to memories of dining in Savannah, with that rich, comforting, homemade taste you feel in your soul. From start to finish, everything about our visit to G's Country Kitchen was outstanding...the hospitality, the conversation, the food, and the feeling of being truly cared for. Many thanks to the owner and the entire staff for a great experience and a lunch that our Forest Service and Alabama A&M team will not soon forget.

Service was a bit slow getting started and remained somewhat slow throughout our visit. For starters, we ordered the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles.

For our entrees, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles, Peppercorn Meatloaf, and Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken. We also ordered a side of sweet potato pancakes. The Peppercorn Meatloaf had quite a bit of spice, even for a spicy food lover like me! The chicken tenders served with the waffles had some spice to them as well. They tasted fine to me, but they were a little too spicy for my friend who ordered them. The Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken was definitely our fave, 10/10. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a bit dry and underwhelming. I think they would have been much better with some type of glaze or sauce. We waited quite a while for our bill at the end of the meal. The slow service was the main drawback and reason for my rating. Our server was pleasant, but he seemed a little overwhelmed.
