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.

I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26

From personal observation. Their simplistic display met usual standards with other buffets when speaking about Selection & presentation. Starting with their Cornbread, Mashed Potatoes, Chicken & Salad. Each dish's flavor was lackluster & missing any savory appeal I expect when dining at buffets. Potatoes lacked any airy & fluffy tastes expected. Butter & gravy couldn't enhance any flavor potential. Cornbread contained same disappointment having zero moisture somewhat crumbly dry & flavorless. Chickens nothing to crow about. Its juiciness lacks seasoning & is untender. Meatloaf remains undesirable and also feels dry in texture & taste while having little seasoning. Everything besides homemade desserts was disappointing & my excited anticipation of enjoying their buffet became met with disappointment & heartbreak with every bite. Sadly Golden Corral or local Chinese Buffet outperformed this place. Despite attempts to enhance the flavor with condiments like Ketchup, gravies, or hot sauce. Foods offered remained unpalatable adding towards disappointment with every dish. Thoughts pertaining towards revisiting here would require entree improvements offering a foreseeable future potential for returning could become likely. There are some positives outside of their food being a quaint setting outside reminiscent of some small beautiful beach cottage containing within small cozy simplistic (It's way I love it) interior with nice decor.. Clean interior friendly service enjoyable Strawberry Shortcake. Some positives remain & love to take any opportunities towards leaving positives when I can.

No noticeable signage of any changes to parking or pay to park signage that we saw. After our meal we came outside to a 75$ fine from the parking company who now patrols the lot. Maybe I should've noticed, but maybe it should be more obvious that the parking lot has changed and now you must pay to park and eat. Disappointing to say the least that a place that's been in that location that long has its parking lot patrolled and charged. $ y'all's I guess.

We love the service and of course the food is so awesome. The friendly weight staff comes around throughout your entire dining experience and provides so many awesome sides in addition to your dinner selections. The staff comes around and brings fried okra, smothered potatoes, and various other delicious southern side dishes. The food is so delicious and definitely remind you of HOME and the variety of menu items are perfect and so so so yummy. The 32 ounce mugs with your drink of choice is hilariously, huge and so generous... we also learned on this trip that you could purchase one of those jugs to go. The ambience is cool. It kinda reminds you of an old country restaurant with wooden benches and historical items, pictures, and memorabilia all throughout the entire restaurant. The biggest part and honestly a fun part for families is this is also the place that's coined "Throw em rolls" where they throw huge hat and fresh dinner rolls to your table so at any time you can see flying rolls throughout the dining room rooms. It's so much fun. I would definitely add this to your list if you are in the area to check out. The food, the service is really great and just a very simple, casual dining experience.

Lambert's is definitely an experience! I'll admit, when I first heard they literally throw the…read morerolls across the restaurant, I thought it sounded a little strange, but once you're there, it's actually really fun. The rolls come out fresh and hot, and they're really good! They also come around throughout the meal with different "pass-arounds" that they serve right at your table. I tried the fried okra and really enjoyed it. There were several other options being passed around as well, so you definitely won't leave hungry. For my meal, I had the chicken wings and was very pleased. Other family members tried the country-fried steak and shrimp, and everyone seemed happy with their food. The portions are generous, and even the drink cups are GINORMOUS! Service was good and timely, especially considering how busy and lively the restaurant was. It's very family and kid friendly, and you can tell Lambert's has been around for a long time and has become an experience in itself. My biggest recommendation: make a reservation, especially if you're coming with a large group. Without one, you could easily be looking at a 45-minute wait or longer. Overall, I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to experience Lambert's. Good food, good service, a fun atmosphere, and catching a hot roll flying across the restaurant makes for a pretty memorable meal! Definitely worth experiencing at least once.
