Wow, wow, wow. Things are changing at this almost 40 year old restaurant in Robertsdsle, AL…read more Last month they had a 5 course Italian meal every Friday and Saturday night. For June, they are offering night service on Friday's, still 5 courses and the food is amazing. It's called the Southern Revival menu. The spare ribs are like nothing you have ever had before. They said they were cooked confit style for 5 or 6 hours, after a 24 hour cure, then rested for one day and finished with Ann amazing glaze (so 3 days to make these ribs). The watermelon salad is out of this world, then the short ribs were not over mashed potatoes- no ma'am, think more like Joel Rubechon Pomme puree- velvety smooth potatoes and crispy onion straws on top. The Banoffee Pudding is banana pudding taking up about 10 notches. You definitely want to check this out and you will want to call by Thursday morning to make a reservation. They said July's menu is already in the works!!

Southern food includes Meat-and-Three restaurants, barbeque, fried ANYthing, fresh caught fish, and…read morehunted game. Hominy, hush puppies, cornbread, grits, Alabama white sauce on any meat, especially smoked chicken, are all popular in Alabama. BBQ is practically a religion in the South! As former certified Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) certified judges, my husband and I completed the training and paid the fees to be certified. The "KCBS way" is different from a lot of people's preferences in that, for example, a BBQ rib should actually have some "pull" to it, meaning, when you bite into it, your mouth should leave a mark in the rib. This means "fall off the bones" ribs are not KDBS quality, despite how many love that rib consistency. The KCBS judges slots fill up so quickly and required us to travel at our own cost and we did not judge any KCBS events. Back to Southern food. Deep fried double Oreos are one of the many fried foods here in Huntsville, and Melt restaurant features them on their menu. Meat-and-Three restaurants feature a meat (usually fried pork chop, meatloaf, BBQ, fried catfish, country fried steak/chicken) and three sides (fried okra, creamed corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked potato, potato salad, cole slaw, French fries) and bread options such as cornbread, rolls, hush puppies. While Southern Cooking is absolutely delicious, I have to limit it because lets face it, it is high in calories and cholesterol. When I do indulge, it's shrimp and grits, pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, and fried whole okra.

This is really a Rouses grocery store with an excellent deli area. I like that the meats and…read moreofferings are fresh. I like to get my fruit here because it is often locally sourced and very fresh. The staff is always helpful and cooperative.

One interesting thing is that while it is all you can eat, they serve it cafeteria style. So you tell them what you want and they put it on the plate. This must have changed since COVID. You used to be able to serve yourself. The food is good, but it taste like someone is cooking scared. Nothing had any seasoning. Nothing popped with flavor. No smoke on the pulled pork (I got outside meat to be able to taste it) Bland spaghetti, bland chicken and dumplings, bland greens, bland, bland, bland - except for the fried chicken and fried fish which were okay, compared to the rest. Service was not overly friendly, or even friendly either. Pretty much here's your seat, here's your drink. I would probably come back one more time. Definitely will not come back if the next time is like this time. 2 1-2 stars is what I would give it. Rounding up to 3 in memory of a place that used to be a lot better.

Visiting Foley from out of state, we brought my MIL out for lunch here. Before visiting, I called…read moreto inquire about handicap access because she has breathing issues and is easily winded even with her portable oxygen. I was told there were several handicap accessible entrances including the atrium in the front. We parked on the street in front of the atrium and entered through those doors. My MIL told the hostess that she couldn't walk too far because of her breathing issues and the hostess said that was no problem. However, for an older person with mobility and breathing issues the distance between reception and the dining area was significant, and we paused once for her to catch her breath. We were seated at the table closest to the door, which was preferable, and our waitress stopped at the table within a short period of time. My MIL asked if the restaurant serves alcohol, and the waitress said they could get her anything she wanted. She ordered a Pinot Grigio, and I asked if the restaurant has decaf espresso. She said no, so I said that I would still like an espresso martini even if it was caffeinated. She said they don't have espresso martinis. I asked her to take my husband's drink order and come back to me, and I ordered the same wine as my MIL for simplicity's sake. We also ordered two apps at the same time. The dining room was sufficiently busy with what appeared to be only two waitresses. She returned with our drinks promptly and took our entree orders, including my MIL's request for two beignets to go. She returned with appetizers in a decent amount of time, at which time I feel like things took a turn for the worse after the waitress was making room for the food and spilled my husband's water and ice onto the table. We took two of our cloth napkins and tried to stop the water from dripping into my MIL's lap, and the waitress said she was having a "Monday on a Tuesday." Look, we all have had that type of day, but the customer should still receive proper attention, which we did not. We asked for more napkins to replace the wet ones, we never got them. I flagged down the other waitress and asked for napkins, and she also ignored our request. My husband ended up taking two place settings off a nearby table after it was clear that no one was bringing them. Our waitress never asked how our food was, never refilled our water and we sat for quite a while after finishing our food before she stopped by again. We had been in the restaurant for an extended period of time at this point, and my MIL's oxygen machine started to run low. We got the waitress' attention and explained the situation, asking for the check and to ring us up so she could head out. My MIL reminded her that we had ordered the desserts to go and she said she remembered. The bill came, the credit card was run, and my MIL gave her a cash tip. Then we waited. And waited. And waited for the to go desserts. The waitress passed by several times knowing that we told her we needed to go as soon as possible. I suggested that my husband help her to the car since it was a bit of a walk in her condition and I would wait for the dessert. Ten more minutes after they walked out went by, and the dessert still hadn't come out. My husband tried to call me to say we needed to get going but there isn't any cell phone reception and no available Wi-Fi so he left her in the vehicle to come get me so we could bring my MIL home due to the oxygen issue. We returned to pick up the dessert shortly after bringing her home. She had asked for two orders when we placed the order, and when I was handed the container it was a single beignet. As I said, people have bad days and I get it. Today's experience was less than 5 stars, and my MIL still tipped well. Her steak was excellent, our salmon and oysters were decent but not outstanding. The potato salad tasted similar to store bought although I assume it was made in house. Given the totality of our visit, 3 stars seems appropriate. My MIL said she would try them again, so if that happens I will be sure to update the review.

I dont know who the owns Danny's.. or is even the manager... but the way i was treated by the crack head woman in robertsdale, is ridiculous.. i was there on 7/6/2023, walked in with my wife and asked the gentleman at the counter if the had chicken livers available.. he said yes. Well after about 10 mins of waiting, a woman came to the counter and yelled to get my attention.. she said.. we dont have any livers, do you want gizzards.. i said no, just refund my money.. and she yells.."ARE YOU SERIOUS ".. i said "yes, you dont have what you told me you had, and the only reason i came here was for the livers".. well this crackhead yells at someone in the back to call "Linda, cause she is about to quit cause she aint letting nobody talk to her like she is stupid." Soo Linda... how about you contact me and lets talk about everything that happen that day.. including all the nasty unclean tables and the drove of flys that were flying around and landing on me and my wife. read more

Please don't waste your money, chicken is very small, expensive and run by rude teenagers. Hamburgers take at least 20 min to cook but they already have ur chicken packed up so it is cold when u get home .forgot the fries and when called they were very rude about it. So please don't waste ur time or money this is for the Robertsdale location only! read more

While it took a bit of time before the food arrived, portions were quite generous, and the food was tasty. My husband said the potato salad and slaw were both on the sweet side, but he enjoyed them and the fried chicken. Service was very friendly. Payment is at the front counter, and there's a small surcharge for anything other than cash. After seeing reviews of this restaurant on Yelp and elsewhere, I thought it might be a good choice for us.

This presents a problem because it's difficult to choose what to eat -and- it means I'll have to go back to try something else. We both got vegetable plates so we could sample as many of the veggies/sides as possible. Everything was tasty and very nicely done. Some dishes were a little salty but nothing inedible. Highly recommended. We will definitely hit them up again when we are in the area.
