    Ribs and turkey combo
    Tim A.

    It always amazes me how restaurants of the same chain can be so inconsistent. I ate at one of these before and it was some of the best barbecue I have had in Alabama. Based on that experience I tried this one and it was a mistake. I had the turkey and ribs combo with coleslaw and baked beans. The turkey was pulled and never had pulled turkey before. It had a very strange texture. It did not taste smoked at all. I put what they call hot sauce on it which was actually just an oil that was all heat no flavor. The ribs were small and did not pull easily from the bone. The membrane was still intact which is a No-No in the barbecue circles I move in. The coleslaw was the worst coleslaw I've ever tasted in my life. No mayonnaise no sugar no nothing but maybe vinegar. It was just cabbage and something. The barbecue beans were very good they were the best part of the whole meal. They had a sweet flavor but not overbearing. The iced tea was fine it was just iced tea but at least it wasn't old. A customer came in and asked about a Senior Citizens Discount and was told because there was already a discount on Tuesdays they didn't offer it. I think the person was okay with that but the manager was quite rude in the way he told him. I usually like this barbecue but I don't think I will be back to this location

    Lawlers is a must have before you die. lol the potatoes are STUFFED. Comes with packets of white or red bbq sauce. Staff was friendly and great service. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Causal dining. They had family feud playing on the tvs inside.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich and cole slaw.

    A great BBQ sandwich, They don't skimp on the pulled pork! Comes with slaw and pickles. Try the sweet sauce!!

    Pulled pork plate with BBQ beans, potato salad, and HOT sauce.

    I had the pulled pork plate with bbq beans and potato salad, she had the baked potato with shredded chicken and we were very pleased. They have a hot sauce that really is HOT (the way I like it). I would've given it 5 stars but was somewhat disappointed with the ONLY entrance to their parking lot on the main road and not one from the WalMart lot like the other restaurants. If you miss the entrance, you have to go back out into the main highway and try again.

    Super Stuffie Tater
    Madison M.

    I lived in Alabama for several years and I've had a LOT of different barbecue (definitely consider myself a connoisseur). I'd never been to LawLers, but stopped by while traveling last week to get dinner take out. They are currently only doing drive thru, which I didn't realize when I ordered from my RV with a plan to walk over from the Walmart parking lot... they let me walk through the drive thru! It was hilarious and I was happy they were able to accommodate. My mom and I both got the huge super stuffie taters with pork on top. I had mine with bbq sauce and she ate hers without. We both loved them and had a lot of food left when we were done eating - they really are huge. I'm adding this to my favorite BBQ spots and if I'm ever in the area again/near another LawLers, I'll definitely have to stop by!

    I stopped in for a BBQ sandwich. The flavor of the pork is just outstanding! A nice smoky taste, they definitely know how to smoke their meets. The sandwich size is a little on the small size, I'm surprised they don't offer a large or Jumbo. Maybe they will offer that in the future. This was my first visit to this location and it won't be my last. Very impressed with the staff and the service. Keep up the great work.

    Their fresh baked buns and homemade pecan pie. Yuck.

    I always go for their pork stuffed potatoes when I eat there. You can't pass it up. One of the only places that have barbecue ham plates.

    8/2026 update: Hubs and I had dinner at Southern Table a couple of Saturdays ago. The experience…read morewas more of a 3.5 star rating. I was disappointed because it is rare for us to enjoy a meal out, and Southern Table, to this point, has been my favorite place to have dinner in the entire north Alabama region! I crave Chef Yokley's wood-fired oysters and find this dish consistently filling and delicious as it has been for years! Because Hubs did not want any oysters, I got 2 pairs of oysters on the happy hour menu which were extremely reasonably priced at either $1.00 or $2.00 per oyster. Were they wood-fired? Yes. Were they rich and decadent like all previous times I have tried them? No. Were they small? Yes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a small oyster, in fact my favorite oysters, Murder Points, are typically small, or small-ish. The recent visit, the oysters were way smaller than the shucked shell they were heated in with the parmesan cheese sauce, meaning the cheese overwhelmed and dominated any oyster goodness (brininess) you could have tasted and enjoyed. And, the last of the four oysters had some tough mollusk piece that I actually had to just spit the whole oyster out in my napkin. Either bad shucking or lack of expediting/checking the dishes leaving the kitchen, or both. It was sad. Chef Yokley posts a lot of photographs of his dishes/drinks on Facebook and I had seen his crab cakes with a unique and very interesting sounding salad with citrusy flavored greens and unique berries I had never tried. Well, wouldn't you expect the server to tell you about the specials and describe them? Ours did not. I had to pull up the photograph from Facebook and ask the server about it. They offered an appetizer size of the dish and an entree sized version. I got the appetizer. It was okay. There wasn't as much of a sear on these smallish crab cakes, as I like and the "salad" was more of a garnish, meaning, it would have been nice to have more of the salad than I received. I had to chase down the server to get hubs water refilled (he would have had non alcoholic beer but Southern Table doesn't have any) and to get me a second glass of house white wine. Hubs ordered a wood fired pork sandwich with French Fries. He said it tasted a lot like Lawler's barbecue. He added "and that's not a bad thing!" The sandwich was nothing special, honestly to the Hubs. It will be a while before I return to Southern Table, sadly. I think Chef Yokley needs to step up his expediting game and his attention to detail.

    Goode fried food is hard. The fried menu items I had here were the best I've had in years!…read more The setting is far off the beaten path, but I found out why as we were leaving. Service was quick and cheerful from all the staff. I had the fried catfish, baby lima beans, fried okra, and hush puppies. Spouse had shrimp basket, hush puppies, and homemade potato chips. As you can see, multiple fried foods. Fried okra is how I test "country" cooking. This was the best fried okra I have had in years. The catfish, shrimp and hush puppies were all excellent. It seems like they use a very light oil, but however, they do it the results are crunchy, non-greasy and bring out the flavor of the food. The way frying is meant to do. Very light breading but just enough. The baby lima beans were excellent. So many times I've had side orders that tasted just like they were scooped out of a 5 gallon can of Sysco product. I could be wrong, maybe it was the very very mild seasoning, but these did not seem commercial. A few caveats. There was a single catfish fillet and it was quite small. I recall getting the catfish fillet meal at the old Gibson's on the Parkway before it burned down. Two large fillets. But actually they could not compare to this. Hush puppies were excellent, I like more onions in them. But that's my preference. But for me, this does not takeoff from the overall five star rating, which I rarely give on a first visit. If you like country food, by all means go here. We will be back.

The minute we walked in and heard the live music, we knew we were going to have a good time. The food did not disappoint. My mom and daughter both had the pasta--one swapped the crawfish for chicken and the other for shrimp--and both versions were delicious. Hubby had the steak and eggs, and the one bite he was willing to spare was surprisingly delicious too! I went with the fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts because I already knew I'd be helping myself to some pasta from their plates.

There was a guy performing live there, and the music was not so overpowering that you were unable to talk across the table. Very pleasant. Service was slow but it appeared they were understaffed. Order bowl of Gumbo for appetizers. We went on and provided our entree orders at that time as well. We waited about 25-30 minutes a different person brought out our order. I ask the server to take the gumbo back, as we had order that as an appetizer. In a few minutes our original server brought the gumbo back to our table. I told her we had ordered that as an appetizers, the server apologized and said it had gotten "Lost in the kitchen, keep it, I'll take care of it". About the food, wife ordered salad with chicken. The salad had 4 large fried chicken tenders on it. I order the sirloin tips over rice. Overall tasty, but gravy was a little salty. Dish included some green beans as well which were tasty. Overall experience was ok, service a little slow which I don't understand with the lower population in the dining room. When I got the check, the gumbo was still on the ticket. Not sure what "I'll take care of it " meant, not what I expected. I paid for it without saying anything else. Actually it was pretty good gumbo. Paid the bill, left a good tip, as the server seemed to be running her legs off. Going back? Probably so, but it'll be a while till I do.
