    There is no place like The Cardinal! Great burgers and the milkshakes are incredible.

    You might think it's similar to Sonic, but the food is way better.

    The Hot Spot  Restaurant - Italian beef

    The Hot Spot Restaurant

    Chicago inspired hot dogs, slaw dogs, pizza, chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, chips, drinks etc…read more The pizza is amazing and the owners are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. If it's your first time here, ask about the history of the building. Small out-of-the way cafe in Moulton, Alabama

    I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. Folks and I came here while road tripping in the area…read more This is a little hole in the wall restaurant in the Moulton area but a little bit aways from the main part of the town. Parking was limited but there was a church lot nearby that was empty that we used to park in and then walk over. Despite being somewhat remote, this spot clearly has a loyal following, as many people came in and out, often for to-go orders since the inside of the restaurant is pretty small. They have lots of food from both Chicago and NOLA -- regular offerings included Chicago dogs and Italian beefs, and then on Fridays they have a rotating special of items such as etouffee. You order at the counter here and prices are quite reasonable. My dad ordered a Chicago dog, my mom got a Philly cheesesteak, and I got an Italian beef. Sides are limited to bagged chips and drinks are canned/bottled, including the tea. The ladies working the register were nice. The highlight was definitely the Chicago dog. My dad loved it and ate it up. My mom didn't realize the cheesesteak came with onions on it, which is not her preference but it was okay. My Italian beef was honestly a little disappointing. It was sopping wet - I assume they dipped it - and I wish I'd been given the opportunity to make a call on whether I wanted it that way or with the au jus on the side or drizzled over the meat instead. The bread was really wet and soggy and it was hard to eat. The spicy giardiniera was very minimally spicy. But honestly the main detractor was that the beef itself was very tough and stringy. It was edible overall but I wouldn't reorder it. The high point was the service. The owner talked to everyone who came in and shared a bit about her life and the restaurant. She was incredibly pleasant and hospitable and made sure everyone felt at home. She does like to take pictures of each new patron of her establishment, which I'm sure some people could take or leave, lol. We didn't mind that much and enjoyed speaking with her. Worth a visit for a Chicago dog and lovely hospitality. The NOLA specials were smelling pretty good so those are probably worth a try too.

I just love it! Ambiance is as close to mom's kitchen as it gets! We drove 30 minutes from Huntsville to have lunch. And the price--in a metropolitan area, you'd pay 3x the price of a plate. Delicious!!

    Wife, kids and I made the journey up to Mildred's from Huntsville - it was worth the trip! This…read moreplace was hopping on a Saturday afternoon, we got here right at 1130ish and were able to easily find a seat. Plenty of parking available despite being busy. There are two buffet islands, one with main course and sides and some desert, the other with a salad bar and more desert options. There is also an ice cream machine that my wife swears tastes just like Chik-fil-a's. The food is almost all southern, and some of it got rotated out while we ate (the chicken and dumplings gave way to country fried steak and gravy). Fried Chicken, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, fried okra, corn, green beans, man n cheese -- the list goes on and on. By and large, the food was exceptional. The fried chicken was moist and the breading is flavorful, the mashed potatoes were good. Pulled pork was succulent and the BBQ sauce was great. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Only downsides from my visit was that the corn bread was a tad dry and not sweat (that's a preference thing) and there was no gravy for the mashed potatoes. That being said the yeast rolls are great. The chicken fried steak got rotated in with some pepper gravy (a bit watery) but these were the only nitpicks I found with my visit. Overall the best southern food and best buffet near Huntsville. My waitress ('Granny') was hustling, she made sure the plates were cleared and the drinks stayed full. Everyone seemed to know her and she was able to be friendly with the locals while taking care of business. All of the employees I saw were busy, wiping down the buffet lines, bringing in heaps of food and just making it a great experience. The value was phenomenal -- $12.50 for adults and $7 for kids. I wish they served Coke products and lived next door then they'd be perfect. If you're reading about this place and you live in Hunstville, its worth the drive. If you're a local, its probably a staple and you already know. 5 stars, would recommend. Thanks!
