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. read more

Sac's Kitchen - Lemon Pepper Baked Chicken (extremely salty), collards, cabbage, and hot water cornbread. - Southern Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Delicious home cooking. If you looking for soul food, this is the place. The lemon pepper chicken with dressing, yams and greens is my all time favorite. And don't forget dessert, the red velvet cake and the peach cobbler are top tier! read more

The food is good especially for a soul food restaurant. The service is usually good but they're always in a hurry trying to get your food out. They could do a little better with the inside read more

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. read more

Definitely recommend and they will see me again ! Recently relocating from Chicago this warmed my heart to get a taste of home! read more

I love a black owned business. I also like how it's connected to a bar and you can take your food and eat it there, a two in one. However on their soul food side...i don't know if it's because i'm from Florida that i'm used to seasoned flavorful food but id expect Alabama to have better southern food, its a stereotype of the state. The neck bones were dry, no flavor. The mashed potatoes were sour. The cabbage was amazing. Customer service amazing. Great atmosphere as well, which is why people love it, these are one of those places that probably make the black community of this city. read more

I had read somewhere this place had the best fried chicken in the Huntsville area, so I decided to give it a try. They did not disappoint. The staff was friendly. The fried chicken was fresh. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was seasoned perfectly. It did not need salt. It and the fried green tomatoes were literally just like my grandma used to make (and that is a compliment). I also got mashed potatoes. These were real potatoes (no instant here). They were excellent as well. One of my favorite items was the hot water cornbread. It was flat (about twice the thickness of a pancake) and about the size of an adult's palm. It was crispy, seasoned perfectly, and was an added bonus. It was a cold day and the heat was not working well, so a little knock on the atmosphere, but other than that, a perfect lunch! read more

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:) read more

Sac's is the REAL DEAL. I love soul food and try as many different soul restaurants as I can. I wish I'd prioritized visiting Sac's more, because I've been missing out. My mom declared it the best soul food/meat and two in Huntsville, and I gotta say, I agree with her. I came with my parents so we could have our weekly lunch together. You order at the counter, and an employee will make your plate from whatever you select at the hot bar, unless you order something fried, in which case it is cooked to order and you're asked to wait around 15 minutes. I love that fried options are made fresh. Sac's seems to do a bit of carry out, so keep that in mind if you're ordering ahead. At any rate, my parents both ordered hamburger steaks and mashed potatoes. My mom opted for green beans while my dad picked collard greens. I ordered fried chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese and yams. We all chose rolls, though I almost wish I'd gone for cornbread. I almost always prefer rolls, but the cornbread here looks more like a hoe cake, which is usually pretty darn good. Next time. The hamburger steaks were tender, falling apart, juicy, and covered with a rich gravy. The mashed potatoes were chunky, just how we liked them. The collards allegedly didn't quite live up to my grandma's, but my dad still loved them. I even gave them a shot, and I liked them pretty well -- I usually don't, but these collards still had a bit of snap to them, and a nice vinegar flavor. The green beans were AMAZING, exactly like homemade, with a lot of ham mixed in (as you do). Not too salty, not too mushy, just perfect. The rolls are store bought, but they're the good kind - very soft, pillowy, and a little sweet. My macaroni and cheese was creamy, soft without losing all texture, and gooey. The yams were absolutely wonderful, so sweet and cinnamony. My only problem with the whole experience was the chicken tenders. They're almost definitely delivered frozen and then fried, as the breading was totally uniform and they resembled the kind of tenders you'd get at the VBC or a stadium or something. They were fried well, though. We asked one of the employees and apparently you can ask for regular old fried chicken. I didn't see it on the menu, but it's available, and I'll definitely be asking for it in the future. Either that or I'll try the really juicy, delicious looking lemon pepper chicken I saw on the hot bar. Yum! I'm still giving 5 stars because the sides rocked our socks so much, and the hamburger steak was also delicious. Oh, and the sweet tea was quintessentially southern. :) The restaurant was clean and the service was pleasant and prompt. Can't wait to come back and try some new sides and entrees. read more

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. read more

Sac is a new favorite for me. The lemon pepper wings are always a treat and they never let me down when I'm in need of some good crispy wings. Last time I was there I had the LP wings and Oxtails. Oxtails delicious, flavorful and filling with the rice. I'll definitely be back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Disclosure: I have not eaten here. I live in New York and ordered for my dad who lives in Huntsville. I wanted to send him a home-cooked meal for Fathers Day since we couldn't be there. Dad appreciated it and said the food was "okay". I got him the pork chop with sides. (Personally, I was surprised that the meal came with just one chop.) He says everything was fine, but the pork chop was just a little dry. read more

New upgrades and food is delicious must try for those new to HSVEGAS. Staff is friendly and quick with service

Took two hours to get our order. It wasn't packed. About 10 customers including myself and three friends.

I'm new to town and have been trying to find a good soul food restaurant. I visited this place a few times and each time the customer service has been lacking. Today I received a not so friendly welcome from the fat black lady working the buffet, the latino looking male cashier and a short round black man so I left without ordering. Not sure what the issue was but I refuse to spend my money where I am mistreated. Here is my assessment of the food I have tried thus far: Mac & Cheese - excellent, Yams - excellent, Cabbage - okay, Fried Pork Chops - dry, very under seasoned and not tender, Oxtails - acceptable but too chewy, fatty and needs a bit more flavor, Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken & Dressing - chicken was pink and undercooked, dressing was very good. Note to owners - tighten up your staff or you will lose customers. read more

The veggies were good but be aware, if you order through Grub South and want the Vegetable Plate, you're going to pay significantly more for the 4 side vegetables ($13) versus getting the plate ($9). There's an error on the Vegetable Plate selection under entrees; it will only allow you to select TWO vegetables versus the four that are posted on their website on the menu under Vegetable Plate. I advised Grub South of the error today. read more

Do NOT order from their website. They don't have everything that they offer on there. I placed my order 45 minutes ahead of time, but I was there for 25 minutes because they hadn't even bothered to start on my order until I got there. I had to make a lot of substitutions and got a partial refund because they hadn't read the whole order and I didn't have time to wait another 10 minutes for them to fry the catfish I had ordered. That said, the food is good so if you eat there, go in and just take what they have available. read more

I love Sac's good southern food. I've had everything and it's all good. I am disappointed that they don't sell chittlins no more but oh well, they were skimpy on them anyway. I slowed up going there after they went up on their prices, but overall they are good but I've had way better collard greens and dressing. read more

Best Aeolus food place I've been too in a long time. Just like the best home cooking. The portions are large and the food is well seasoned. I had the chicken and dressing, mashed potatoes, and black eyed peas. All very good. I highly recommend this place. read more

I placed an order online so I could just run in on my lunch break from work and pick it up. I placed my order an hour or so before I was to pick it up. I only ordered a sandwich and fries. I arrived and I was told it would be about 10 minutes. Okay. It was 35 minutes later before I got my order. I'd like to know what the point is for ever placing an order online. I was sent an email confirmation regarding my order and a note that said it would be ready at the appointed time that I chose. Not to mention, when I got out to my car, there were no fries! I had to go back in and WAIT, yet again, for fries because they were "cooking". Waiting for an extra 10 minutes for an order I should have been able to basically walk in and pick up is one thing....but waiting 35 minutes and then waiting again for the rest of my order is totally unacceptable. Maybe it's because I'm not the preferred color (non-white). read more

So delicious! I love their salt water cornbread! They are also very nice people. I Highly recommend!
