Once again a very good meal at Sadie's Diner. The blackened salmon is delicious especially with black eyed peas and steamed broccoli. The cheese biscuit brings it all together. The service is always good. Good prices. read more

We stopped to grab a bite while my hubby plugged our car in my son and I grabbed dinner. It looks super new, clean and service was fabulous and food was even better; cooked to order. I tried the club and he got the kids hot dogs with broccoli for both. Broccoli was flavorful and the sandwich was big enough to share half with hubby. read more

Service non existent, had to ask for food sitting at the window. Cook delivered as waitress couldn't be bothered. Also hard to get the ticket and pay. No coffee refill. Omelet excellent, grits tasteless, biscuit okay. read more

We had a great breakfast at Sadie's Diner yesterday. I had the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and my wife had two eggs, bacon, and two pancakes. Everything was freshly made. No pre-processed food here. After you eat here, you will never want to go to Cracker Barrel or IHOP again. We highly recommend it. The service was friendly, and also it was very clean. It was a great experience. read more

Ok for a "truck stop diner" it is above average and unfortunately there isn't a lot to choose from at the Vance exit. The staff is very very friendly and the location is super clean. read more

We love this diner! Great food and the servers are very nice. Worth the drive from Tuscaloosa any day!!

Loved this little gem of a diner. Food was wonderful and portions were plentiful. Most of all the staff and waitress were friendly and amazing....especially Ms Laura!!! read more

Close to Mercedes-Benz, nice diner on the side of a Sprint Mart. Very generous meat and three. More food than either of us could eat. Not very busy when we stopped by on a Saturday evening, but probably very busy during shift change. Server was great, took good care of us. The decor was very Mercedes centric with tables made from rims, pictures and posters related to Mercedes. If you're traveling between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, this is a great place to stop and grab a bite. read more

This place just opened on Wednesday. Very spacious and bright inside. Lots of employees, but only two servers with a trainee. Service was good. Especially since they are all new. We ordered a patty melt with fries and a veggie omelet. Both were over cooked a bit. Nothing spectacular. read more

Great servers/staff but portions are very small due to greedy owners/management. six months ago I ordered the same catfish plate and since then they give half the amount of fish they used to and the portions were already small then.do yourself a favor go anywhere else and get more food for cheaper and don't support a greedy business. read more

I can't rate the food because we never got to eat, order food or even order a drink. The hostess told us to sit wherever we wanted, found a little 2 top and sat down. I watched the hostess point out to the server our table and the table that was sat before us. The server then went to the first table and took their order and brought them drinks. She then went to the other tables that were sat after us and took multiple orders. I know I was wearing an LSU hat in Bama country but that is no reason to ignore customers. read more

Wasn't really busy. First time I tried this and getting Meat Loaf and Blackened pork Chops. More later. read more

This Diner was recommended by our hotel in Vance. The diner has been opened for 6 months. We read a couple of negative reviews on it and weren't going to try it but the ladies at the hotel said it was very good so we decided to give it a try and I am glad we did not follow those reviews. It was VERY good! When you enter the diner you are greeted by the bakery counter. We will get to that later. It is a large diner with tables or you can eat at a counter on a stool. The place is immaculate. We were greeted by our server Taylor D. She was so sweet. We ordered the meatloaf, which was a nice healthy serving and it was delicious! Our side dishes were mashed potatoes and gravy (homemade with skins and some nice soft chunks mixed in with brown gravy, they were delicious!), collard greens (which were very tasty), and the BEST fried green tomatoes around. The meal came with a cheese biscuit as well. Even the iced tea would make any southerner happy. Like I said, the young lady who waited on us was Taylor. She was so sweet and attentive to us. We had a couple of nice conversations with her. Be sure to ask for her. After we demolished our meal, we decided we were stuffed but could not resist ordering some dessert to take back to the hotel. It was a difficult choice, but we selected a slice of strawberry cake and coconut cake. Taylor said that her favorite was the original cheesecake but we went with the cake. They were nice sized slices (I forgot to take a picture BEFORE we ate them). The strawberry cake was moist and the icing was just right. Delicious! The coconut cake was the winner in my book. Oh my WORD it was so good. It was so moist and the coconut mixed icing was amazing! It paired very well with coffee. My hubby and I split and shared desserts. Husband's meal was $10.99 with 2 sides and mine was 11.99 because I added a third side. I highly recommend you try Sadie's Diner in Vance. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great food and service! This is one of our regular places to eat! Food is made fresh to order!

What a pleasant surprise... excellent food, and excellent service! I highly recommend a stop at Sadie's...thank you, Ms. Sharon!

Service was very good, we had Haley. Very attentive. She recommended the meatloaf & hamburger steak. I had meatloaf, collard greens & Mac & cheese with cornbread. Large portions could not finish it. Hubby had hamburger steak with mashed potatoes & Mac & cheese with a cheese biscuit. Nice quiet restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. Very clean . Nice experience! read more

Good food, service was good. Friendly staff. Large portions have eaten here 5 times now and yet to be disappointed. Can get crowded at lunch and shift change time. read more

No where near worth the money. I won't be going back. Hamburger and fries were old and they have the nerve to expect a tip before you get your food. read more

Today was our 3rd visit to Sadie's Diner. We had their current special "smothered chicken"...it's was WONDERFUL! Chicken was so tender you could cut it with your fork! It was juicy as well! Seasoned perfectly! I had mashed potatoes and coleslaw, mu husband had fried okra and greens- he said " best okra I have ever had!". Our server today was Kimberly, she was great! In the past we've had Brooklyn and she was also great! She came over and spoke to us. We met the cook and told her how wonderful the meal was! Great quality, perfect temperature, and perfect serving size! We will definately make it our regular stop enroute to Birmingham appts! The only negative...the gal in the bakery never has smiled or been pleasant all 3 times we've made purchases there as well...life is too short! And shes too cute not to put a smile on her face!! Cleanliness PERFECT!!! We'll be back and have told all of our friends about you! Blessings! Bruce & Mickey DeHaan Tuscaloosa, AL​ read more

I really wanted to give Sadie's a fair chance, but when you sit there for 35 minutes with only a drink order taken, it is very hard to be positive. If they had at least acknowledged me that they were short staffed or whatever the issue was, it would have been easier to understand, but there was none of that. read more

I don't live far from Sadie's so I wanted to try it out placing a to go order. We got the burgers and they were huge and very good. My husband got the hamburger steak, Limas and Mac also very good. The have a neat little bakery with cakes and pastries. I'm glad we have a good restaurant in the community. read more

This is nothing like they describe what they strive to be. There are 3 people seated in the entire restaurant side and we have waited over half an hour and still don't have our food. There was no friendly "family" greeting. read more

Best scrambled eggs. Cheese grits were good. Our server, Diana, provided great service. Only suggestion would be to have hot tea as an option. read more

We had a big order for our company and they were very helpful in our placing the order, having it ready on time, labeled with names, and the food was good. Thanks so much for all your help. Dixie Pulp & Paper read more

Quick service. Good food. I got the grilled catfish. Hubs got the fried catfish. The cheese biscuit it good. Fried green tomatoes were good.

Good food, good service, especially the pancakes and hash browns with peppers and bacon.

Horrible service, food, and overall experience! Slowest employees that I have ever seen in my life! Avoid at all costs!

Really great small town restaurant with great service, atmosphere and very clean. The food was amazing. My table got Grilled Chicken & Fried Chicken sandwich and a club sandwich. Nothing but good feedback from all of us. read more

Brought 7 people in for lunch. Walked in at 12:30. We ordered, sat there for an hour and 10 mins. Food was brought out 1 at a time except for mine. Everyone was done eating and I was still waiting. Ended up having to get mine to go. Food is ok at best..... but not an hour plus wait ok. NO one in the place said anything. I guess they consider that acceptable?? read more
