    Great diner with delicious food, great service, serving southern staples. This is a popular spot, but once your order's taken, your food arrives pretty quickly. Booth seating, counter seating and wooden tables are available.

    Terrific wait staff, great food at great price. Just like grandma's cooking! Old time diner vibe.

    Blue Plate Cafe is always my go to spot for meat and three dishes. For each day of the week, they have specific menu items that they serve. We had the chicken and dressing with fried okra and collard greens. We also had their apple cobbler for dessert. As always, the food was very good. You may have to add your own salt and pepper, but nothing's wrong with that. My guest ordered the same thing, but with hash brown casserole. The hash brown casserole was cold and instead of our waitress replacing it, she stuck it in a microwave. We also noticed a lot of water on the floor near the food bar area. I believe the staff had already started cleaning, which is ok, but not when the floors have that much water to where it could possibly result in an injury. When we checked out the lady at the register even asked us how our food was and even though we told her the hash brown casserole was cold, she didn't apologize or even offer to comp us for this side item.

    Chicken and dressing, fried okra, green beans, cornbread and butter!  Mouthwatering deliciousness.

    Oh my word!!! I visited here while on travel and it was SPECTACULAR!!! Everything was super fresh and tasted home cooked. I stopped in twice in the same week because it was so yummy!

    A nice local place. Old diner decor. Friendly staff. Parking is a bit tight but plenty of seating inside.

    Blue Plate Breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuit with gravy and cheese grits.

    Fantastic breakfast. Possibly the best bacon I've had - cooked just the way I like it, not too crispy. Good grits and biscuit with gravy too. They were super accommodating of our large group. Much appreciated! Great service and overall I highly recommend. Lots of tasty-looking items on the menu I'd like to go back and try.

    This place constantly is terrible. Can't ever get a single order right. I'm finally done trying…read morewith them. Tonight I ordered a classic chicken, got a Philly. Asked for no onions on the classic chicken, got plenty of onions. I also order the Italian with mayo and onions. Got it with no mayo nor onions. The bread was very hard and somewhat stale. The fries were either very overcooked or they were very old. Ordered the kids meatball sandwich. Literally 3 little tomatoes were the sauce. Forgot the chips with the kids meal. Tried to call them but they close at 7. Just done with the place. Back to Jersey Mikes I go!

    We were on the west side of Huntsville and decided to visit Jon Smith Subs again. The Authentic…read moreItalian is still hitting flavor memories and both of us said YOLO! We arrived after 1 and the restaurant had 2 customers. We were warmly greeted and placed a to go order. The restaurant is very clean. The footlong Authentic Italian hits all flavor profiles for an Italian sub. Both of us cannot eat enough of the Authentic Italian. The combination of meats complement each other very well. Our favorite sub here. 5/5 We tried a footlong Chicken Bomb this time. I loved it. To me, the chicken tasted so much better. Both of us were surprised at how delicious the chicken was since the Steak is the most popular sub. 5/5 I signed up my first visit to be a rewards member. I was able to get $5 off my order yesterday. I earned points and my next visit I will get another $5 off. What a deal. If you like subs, grinders or hoagies, please stop by and give this locally owned restaurant a try. The Authentic Italian is the bomb to us!!! 5/5

    Came here because this place had 5 stars and not a lot of pictures. This restaurant is located…read moreinside the Botanical Gardens but you don't need to pay to eat here, it's located next to the gift shop. Sometimes the food venue in a place like this can be terrible and over priced -- this isn't the case with Fern & Feast Bistro. The food selection here is pretty decent, sandwiches, tacos, salads, burgers, flatbreads etc, most in the $9-12 range. They have some kid options (chicken nuggets, grilled chese, quesadilla, etc) for picky eaters at $6 each. Downside is that the sandwiches etc don't come with fries or chips, so that could increase your meal price. I ordered the Uber sandwich because I feel like that is a good gauge of how the food will be and is pretty standard at most restos. Mine was served relatively quick on an environmentally friendly plate made if recycle paper products (I don't care all that much but I know some people will appreciate that touch). Club was delicious, but make sure to grab mustard and mayo. Bread was toasted just the right amount; it had some char but was not too dry or crunchy. Lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the proportions and amounts of the turkey, ham and beacon was great. But the best reason to come to this place is the scenery. From the back of the narrow seating area you can grab a seat that looks out over the Botanical Gardens or of you keep going back they have outdoor seating available. The weather was wonderful today and so I ate my sandwich on the patio taking in nature and avoiding the man with three children who all needed discipline in their life inside. If you're looking for a place to stop and relax with decent food while the weather is good - this is your place. Give it a shot!

    A little pricey for the amount of food you get but i can understand since it's a gift shop styled…read morequick eat place. fun little shops near and around the restaurant itself. staff was friendly and accommodating.
