I ordered the breakfast skillet with a pancake, and my husband got the Western omelet. Everything was a 10 out of 10, especially the thick chunks of ham in both the omelet and the skillet -- so good! We couldn't leave without trying a slice of their chocolate cake, and it was HUGE. Overall, a great visit and we'll definitely be back!

Here's the trifold description of Char House catering: 1.Mom & Pop attention to quality and detail 2.Old world comfort food meets neuvo cuisine and elegance 3.Simply Fabulous & Filling Food! Yep- these folks are among the few remaining who still subscribe to the old school philosophy- that's how they've been in business for so long. While their staples like homemade Italian sausage (Original recipe from Sicily) and assorted pastas remain on their menu, you'll also find that delicious contemporary delights like bacon wrapped dates, grace it as well. They're pros at catering everything from a taligate party with savory hot wings and steaming sliders to a formal dinner featuring mouth watering beef tenderloin. They'll supply everything you need from silver chafers, to serving staff. On top of that- they not only set it up- they CLEAN it up. Both our business, and our family, have used them exclusively for the past 15 years- and we'd never consider calling anyone else. P.S- Mr. Louis does an INCREDIBLE moist turkey and savory dressing for the holidays...just get your heirloom platter ready, and have them deliver to your back door... they are also very good at keeping secrets ;)

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Golden Rule BBQ & Grill, located at 2504 Crestwood Blvd in…read moreIrondale, Alabama. While I had initially planned to visit next Friday for a particular occasion, my desire for some exceptional BBQ led me there sooner. My family has been patrons of Golden Rule since the 1970s. This establishment has a rich history, having been in business since 1891, originally under the ownership of the Williams family and the Stones. In 1969, Golden Rule was acquired by Michael Matsos, a local restaurateur from Birmingham. Mr. Matsos commendably preserved the Williams' family recipes and the high standards of their outstanding BBQ. However, in 2022, Golden Rule was sold to Brian Kemp of Kemp's Kitchen, another local figure with several (now closed) establishments in the Birmingham area. Mr. Kemp acknowledged his limited knowledge of BBQ but pledged to maintain Golden Rule in its 131-year-old tradition. Upon my arrival, I noticed the spacious parking lot, which was not overly crowded, as it was after the usual churchgoers' rush. As I approached the entrance, I passed a window sign proudly proclaiming "Birmingham's Best BBQ." I observed several individuals within close proximity as I entered, and I noticed that no one offered a greeting, which was a minor detail. I then made my way to my preferred table, the one my father and I always shared when he would call and suggest meeting at Golden Rule. The traditional book-style menus have been replaced with a more streamlined placemat-style menu. This was not an issue, as I already knew what I wished to order. Anna, my server, provided exceptional service throughout my visit. She promptly took my drink order, ensured my tea glass remained full, and was attentive to all my needs, even while managing two tables each with eight guests. Anna did a truly wonderful job. As I waited, I reflected that this was typically a place where I wouldn't need to comment on the absence of the legendary Alabama BBQ figure, the picture of The Bear. Golden Rule has always been adorned with numerous framed sports moments and memorabilia from various state teams on its walls. However, upon looking up, I noticed they were no longer there. Approximately 95% of the sports pictures are gone. The walls are largely bare, and the remaining pictures appear to be hung without any particular arrangement, suggesting that the others were simply removed from around them. I have dined here several times since the sale to Mr. Kemp, but my research indicated that family members had come in to retrieve their pictures from the walls. The establishment now has a rather stark appearance. It would be beneficial to address this. Golden Rule offers a diverse selection of meat choices, including pork BBQ sandwiches, pulled pork plates, chicken, brisket, baby back ribs, and sausage. They also feature hamburger steak, chicken tenders, and on Fridays, catfish. Additionally, soup and salads are available. With a wide array of side dishes such as green beans, baked beans, corn on the cob, slaw, chips, and fries, you are sure to find something to your liking. Dessert options include pies, cake, and cookies. My order arrived on a metal tray, which is the traditional and appropriate way to serve BBQ. I selected the jumbo pulled pork plate with a double portion of fries (a preference of mine). It looked incredibly appetizing. I would advise bringing a hearty appetite if you choose the jumbo plate, as it is quite substantial. I immediately noticed a difference in the cooking process compared to previous occasions; the meat was noticeably less coarse and dry. Previously, I often needed a knife to cut the slices, but this time it was incredibly tender, practically falling off the fork, which was truly delightful. It was some of the finest barbecue I have ever tasted. When topped with their vinegar-based sauce, it becomes absolutely irresistible. The fries are clearly cut from real potatoes and are served in generous portions. Overall, the value offered by this barbecue restaurant is exceptional. A jumbo plate of meat, fries, and sweet tea for under $20 is an offer that is difficult to surpass. Despite some changes, Golden Rule remains one of the best barbecue establishments in the area. It comes highly recommended. 5/5 -Kevin
