These are not all the same photos lol, I just like what I like and get the same meal every-time! This is real food, cooked by good people. I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family read more

In the area for errands and came across Bevelle. A cafeteria style line that you go through and pick out what you want. All the staff was incredibly friendly. They said everything is made fresh daily and the food tastes that way! We got turkey and dressing with fried okra and green beans. We were a fan of the dressing and the fried okra. The fried okra wasn't heavily breaded, made them that much better. Everything else we got was pretty tasty too. It's price is about 35% higher than the meat and two place we typically go to that's closer to pur home, but I would come back here next time we are in the area again. read more

Bevelle Family Cafe - Squash onions, butter beans , Mac n cheese , baked chicken - Cafes Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

Absolutely delicious!! Maybe the best fried okra I've ever had. A bit pricey, but I'm willing to pay for food that good.

Still dependable, good, consistent food choices. I've downgraded because they must of had a cost increase. $40 - some bucks for 2 people, one who had cobbler. There are a couple other diners in the area so probably use them more if not exclusively. read more

Great choice of Good Ole Soul Food. 1 meat and 2 vegetables. Alittle pricey $13 a plate but Great Food. They just need too bring back their Chicken and Dressing. Best Seller!! D. Hill read more

A great lunch stop. It is a cafeteria style meat and three. I normally get baked chicken, Mac and cheese and cabbage. On my last visit, I decided to try something different. I had the hamburger steak, green beans, and rice. The food was good, and the service was great too. read more

Bevelle Family Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Pelham, Alabama

The best meat and vegetables diner in Birmingham. I got turkey and dressing there that was better than grandma's. The cobbler is to die for. I have given up all my other meats and 3 for Bevelle's. It's the best. read more

I visited this cafe for the first time and got the green beans, black eyed peas, macaroni and cheese + corn bread and it all was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant if you want some legit soul food! read more

Very pricey. My son and I had the meat and two. $28.00 ! The food was average. Cafeteria style. No service the whole time we were there. Those who have left 5 stars are not used to good old country cooking. It is better than Cracker Barrel read more

Awesome meat & 2 , has been in business for ever, but I just discovered it. Well prepared and seasoned. You can tell the cooks here know what they're doing. read more

Excellent food, fried chicken is divine! Get the fried okra and cornbread, the Mac n cheese was like grandma's . We also tried the hamburger steak and turkey dressing everything was real good. Hands down the cornbread muffin was my favorite thing crunchy on the outside with butter soaked into it makes you want to cry with joy. read more

Bevelle's is open for lunch only. It is a typical meat and three cafeteria. Near the end of service the selections are reduced. Food is excellent but priced a bit high. read more

Hard to believe this was my first visit. I have heard about Bevelle's for years. They used to be in a section of a gas station, but in 2019 they moved to a store-front that allows better parking and an eat-in area. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take advantage of the dining room, but we picked up lunch for three, taking advantage of both their curbside service and a cash-only special that was offered the week leading up to Easter. Their menu changes daily, but is traditional meat-and-two fare and is currently being shared as it changes on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/BEVELLES/ Regretfully, I was also so hungry and otherwise preoccupied to take pictures. (Sorry about that.) Our plates were meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, meatloaf with mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes (yes, this is the teenager's plate), and baked BBQ chicken with mac-n-cheese and green beans. We all chose the roll instead of the cornbread. Meatloaf is a pretty personal dish for Southerners, and we each have our own favorite way; Bevelle's is a pretty "traditional" meatloaf with a tomato-based sauce on top. Green beans are what I would call Italian green beans (aka Romano beans) that are wide and flat. Mashed potatoes can be with or without gravy, and they were a nice consistency. Mac-n-cheese was baked, and pretty flavorful. You can also choose between white and dark meat for their chicken; our white meat included a chicken breast and a wing. Nice BBQ sauce; sweet, not spicy at all, so like the "Kraft Original" of BBQ sauces. Nice portion, and filling enough for lunch. We ended up having a late dinner because this was so satisfying. Will look forward to returning and trying their well-known Hot Banana Pudding. Fair warning: They are open ONLY during the week, and ONLY for lunch hours. read more

I am so glad to have found this new meat and three lunch spot in Pelham. I've visited twice in the past two weeks and it's already a favorite. The food is very tasty, always hot and seasoned just right. I absolutely love the turkey and dressing. Great southern cooking. The service is quick and friendly. Feels like eating among friends in the opened spaced restaurant. I can't wait to try some of the other meal selections. read more

Polite prompt professional no problems food good no issues will return priced right also.

Couldn't believe how good the food was the first time my wife and I went here for lunch so we returned today. My wife got a vegetable plate of fried okra, new potatoes, stewed squash and corn bread. I got fried chicken , (dark meat) mashed potatoes and gravy and fried okra with a yeast roll. I offered my wife a taste of the drum stick and I didn't get it back. The seasoning on the chicken is fantastic. Everything else was delicious as before but I do have two complaints, don't offer any bites to anybody and the chicken needs to be bigger. read more

This place is up there with Niki's West and Paw Paw Patch. I had the beef tips with rice, cabbage and mac & cheese. It was delicious and seasoned perfectly. I like my cornbread with a hint of sweet but theirs is still pretty good. Can't wait to try the other entrees! read more

Excellent meat and 3 , had turkey and dressing turnip greens and field peas , very good . Food is consistently good . Very friendly and nice people as well .get there early for lunch they actually sell out of dishes and that's a good thing , always making fresh dishes instead of too many left overs . read more

You want a meat and three veggies for lunch ..well this is the place to go in Alabaster. Yeah they are in a gas station but you can't beat the prices and the taste as well as the service and the selection. Each day is something different and they hit the mark all the time. The cornbread they make is AWESOME and never dry. It has a nice little sweetness to it but overall is nice and firm without being soggy and undercooked. Just a great place to pick up a good home cooked meal for lunch in a hurry. read more

Great food when they actually have what you want which now a days seems like never Used to go here multiple times a week and now it does not matter when I try to go or call they NEVER have anything that I usually get which is advertised* daily. Have been very let down by them a lot lately. Think it is time to find a new favorite place. read more

When it comes to a good solid meat and three restaurant, it doesn't come any better than this. The food is always fresh, the selection always includes a good staple of meat and vegetables, and a banana pudding or peach cobbler are both top notch delicious. The owners are fully engaged in the operation, their great character and personalities are clearly rooted in being good stewards of God's gifts. Why anyone would waste their money on fast food when this sort of meal is available makes no sense to me. I have eaten in several times and taken a meal to go as well. Taste great both ways. read more

Y'all! Bevelle Family Cafe is fire. Their vegetables are southern loved and delicious. My mother in law treated us to this place one Sunday and I haven't forgotten it. I could eat their greens and squash EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!! And I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the owners and the service! Great family spot! read more

The only drawback to this restaurant is the portion size. For the price you shouldn't leave less than satisfied.

My husband and I were on our way home from a short vacation in Pensacola. We began searching iexit.com for a place to have lunch. Most of the results were fast food chain restaurants, but one name popped up--Bevelle Family Cafe--at Exit 242 of I-65. We love to find hidden gems like this! The food was out of this world and the owner is the nicest lady! Next time we head to the coast, we will definitely make a stop here, and I'd recommend that others should do the same. You won't be sorry! read more

This meat and three reminds me of my grandmothers food. It's THAT good. It's my three year olds favorite restaurant. The meatloaf is my favorite entree and the homemade peach cobbler puts Sara Lee in her place. read more

Very good food and always very sweet nice people working. Never disappointed I have gotten to go when they were in the small gas station and now the large place always great food! I love a great meat and 3 that is a family ran business local! I will help them all the time! read more

Standard cafeteria-style line with 4-5 choices each of meats and veggies, plus roll or cornbread. Everything we had was good, which is often not the case with these type of restaurants. Portion size was adequate, but not generous. Seemed a little pricey overall. Nice option for those in the south Pelham area. read more

A very good meat & 2 place. Nothing fancy about the seating area. However, the food is excellent. Meats are moist and tender with a variety of well prepared vegetables available. The staff is ALWAYS courteous, efficient, and professional. read more

They are the BEST!!! The folks, the food, it's worth the 2 minute trip to Alabaster!! We eat there all the time!! Never have had a bad experience, they are wonderful!! read more

I just had to take a second and write a review for Bevelles, because I can't let the only other review be a bad one! Yes, paying with cash is cheaper, and they usually do let you know that. If your looking for a nice sit down restraunt, this is not it. It is in a gas station. But don't let looks fool you! The food is Ah-mazing. I'm not usually for a meat and three type of place, but my parents and my husband and I eat it every chance we get! You will be stuffed (but in the best way) after eating here! And they are always very friendly, and very busy! If you ever get the chance, it is a must have! read more

The food here is absolutely AMAZING! It's home cooking at its best! The owners, Eddie and Angela Bevelle are always welcoming when you enter there café. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you are served. You have to try the macaroni and chesses its jaw-dropping good. At Bevelle's they have homemade deserts that are delicious. Bevelle's Family Café, also can cater any event large or small. You are sure to be impressed with there menu of choices. They have stellar service with excellent food. Bevelle Family Café is one of a kind in Pelham,Alabama. they are known for there home cooking southern meals read more
