We've lived in Meridianville for a while but never swung by Posey' before - we decided to change that today! A lot of reviews refer to this place as having a buffet, but that isn't technically correct - they have a food bar but limit you to one plate/visit. It is very clear on the menu and my wife confirmed this with a server. Everywhere we looked there seemed to be people doing multiple trips so that was kind of weird. It was very hot inside - not sure if the AC was on the fritz or they were just catering to the older crowd but everyone in my party commented on it. Wife and kids got the food bar and I ordered a club sandwich off the menu. They serve Pepsi products here. My wife was pretty happy that they had turkey, fried chicken and ham available plus a lot of the usual southern food sides available (rolls, corn, green beans, cornbread, stuffing, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes etc). They want everyone visiting the food bar to wear gloves while serving food which is weird but I'm fine with that. There was one server for our entire side of the restaurant and I feel like she did a good job and was hustling- she served food poured drinks and bussed tables. The food... the food was below average. Just going to be honest here. The fried chicken had a very good breading that was pretty salty. The rest of the food was extremely bland and lacked flavor. All of the negative reviews for this restaurant usually point this out. They have a very loyal crowd of regulars it seems, but the food was bland. The mashed potatoes was bland and was the consistency of powdered potatoes. Idahoan instant mashed potatoes beat these easily. Mac n cheese was ho-hum, turkey was bland, etc. The wild rice was awful and lacked any sort of salt or.flavor. The corn bread is the unsweetened variety that is super dry. Honestly the only good thing we had was the fried chicken. My club was OK. They had a lot of meat in it, but the meat was hot which was unexpected. It looked good and had bacon which was nice, just tasted plain to me. I will probably come back and give it another shot someday, but honestly it feels like mostly institutional food in a hot restaurant with odd rules. read more

Buffet is small, but what's there is delicious, fried catfish and pork chops are delicious.

No, a business cannot charge customers a surcharge for using a debit card in the U.S., as this is illegal under federal and state laws. Merchants are only allowed to surcharge for credit card transactions and must adhere to strict notification requirements, such as posting a sign at the entrance and at the point of sale. Instead of a surcharge, merchants can legally offer a cash discount. This is just a snip of the federal law. They do not have this posted. We were charged 1.98 fee for a gift card. We were also charged a fee for our meal. We used a debit card. I told they can't do that the girl giggled. Credit card fees are part of doing business. We will not return. I will report this to my credit card company. read more

The food is fresh, perfectly cooked every time we have eaten there. The menu varies from day to day. Some of our favorites are the fried chicken, fried catfish, chicken and dressing, and roast beef. From their menu, we love their chicken Philly sandwich, cheese Burger, & fries. The peach cobbler and banana pudding are made fresh from whole ingredients, including the meringue on the banana pudding. read more

Service was great. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes were off the chain ‍ good. Price was unbelievable

Catfish is pretty decent. Not the friendliest service. Food is fairly bland and the much talked about peach cobbler lacked flavor. Decor could definitely use an update. read more

If you love grandma's cooking this is the place to come. The food was fresh and hot. It was delicious. My favorite was the fried chicken and hot peach cobbler. The service was excellent and the young ladies were pleasant and attentive to our sweet tea glasses. The restaurant was clean and air condition was good. read more

Posey's Restaurant - My choice from the bar. The food was yummy! - American Near Me - Hazel Green, Alabama

Came on a Sunday about 1130. Was seated right away. Made it in time before the church rush! The waitress was really attentive and friendly. Kept checking on us for refills and such. We did the food bar. I liked the fact we had to use gloves (they're provided) when handling food at the food bar! The fried chicken was delicious! I also had the chicken and dressing and mashed potatoes with gravy, which were all really great as well. For $12, it was totally worth it! My family and I will be making this place our go to for some delicious fried chicken and fixings from now on! I'm sad I didn't take any pictures! read more

Food was very good , came in late didn't rush us Yelps post said close at 9:00 it think it closed at 7:30 we got there at 7:00 , no rush service great Place was clean with a good atmosphere Enjoyed very much!!!! read more

I called ahead of time to make sure I could order wine with my dinner, I asked if there was a bar & they said yes. So, we went...turns out their bar was a salad bar. Maybe the food is good, I don't know - we left. The decor was dreadful including the tables & chairs. They look as if they were found at a yard sale. read more

Buffet is the main draw here, I have come to enjoy the Posey's burger! Friendly staff, delicious food, and speedy service! read more

Food wasn't bad but just ok. Only went once so may be wrong. Place is always full so maybe will try again

We had never been to this restaurant before . Our friends met us there & we were all pleased with the food ,& service . If you like country cooking you will like this place ! Staff was friendly & very kind ! read more

Great buffet for the whole family. My favorite is the fried chicken. I highly recommend.

Service was outstanding but the lunch line was blocking the door. Management needs to read manual on handling crowds. But would definitely go back. You can also order off menu! read more

I've eaten here several times. The people are nice enough and the food is no frills "buffet". It's chicken with a few vegetable choices. I don't understand how they serve mashed potatoes with no gravy, especially since they are fresh out of the box. You'd think they'd do whatever they could to enhance the flavor. The vegetables all seemed like they are canned although flavored or "doctored" up a little. The place is always clean and the service is good. This is just a place to go get a no frills lunch/dinner. read more

Service is great, establishment has the old school small town feel, food is well cooked and flavorful but has its flaws

Decently priced food, and pretty good. It is buffet style, or order from the menu. My 2 kids ages 12 and 8 enjoyed it here. We will eventually be back. Just moved here yesterday. read more

Buffet style with country cooking at its best! Okra was exceptional and the food was fresh even though we got there 15 min before buffet was closing. Everyone was super nice and a great price! read more

A bit of a disappointment, can't say we'll be back. We thought Posey's would be better based on the amount of cars we see in the parking lot every time we drive by. Well, today was finally the day we stepped inside for lunch. Even though the parking lot was full, like it always is, we were seated right away. But it took several minutes for our waitress to come over to our table, and then another several minutes before my fiancee received a menu. We both decided to go with the buffet anyway. Food wasn't bad as a whole, but it was nothing special either. Fried chicken was good (as with most Southern buffets), and the creamed corn was also tasty. Mashed potatoes were flavorless though, and the Fried Pork Chop I sampled was very dry. Only dessert offered was a chocolate pudding with vanilla wafers. Also my fiancee told me the broccoli was brown at the salad bar. She did like orange slice in her Sweet Tea rather than a lemon slice. As I stated above, service was less than desirable. Not sure why two people needed to be up front greeting people when the waitresses in the dining area were short-handed. One woman near us got tired of waiting for her check, so she went up front to pay and leave. Honestly, the only thing Posey's has going for it is the atmosphere. Sure, the decor is a lot nicer than The Hazel Green Family Restaurant, but the latter has MUCH BETTER food than Posey's. read more

Not much selection for the buffet. Salad bar also had limited selections. Go to another buffet. Ordering off the menu was a little better.

Was in the mood for catfish, so asked my son if he wanted to go to Posey's for lunch, he jumped at the opportunity. We had been there before and he liked it. Well, I got the catfish, it was OK. My son got the bacon cheese burger. the burger was not the burger that I have had served there before. It was way smaller than the bun and way overcooked. Was not asked if there was a problem with it after it was pushed back after only 2 or 3 bites. As we got to the cashier, told her the burger was not good and overcooked. She said "I'm sorry to here that, that will be $21.93. Needless to say we will probably not be back, not necessarily because of the food (anyone can have a bad day) but because of the lack of concern or care about their customer. read more

This place is wonderful. My husband had a two meat meal with fried chicken and I had a burger. It was really good and fresh.

Came for lunch. Food was very good, chicken is definitely a crowd pleaser. Will make it a place to come for lunch when in Hazel Green.

Hands down the best burgers in Huntsville! And the buffet... the fried chicken... yummy! A fast lunch? Meeting your friends? This is the place up the PKWY in northern Madison County. Don't forget to ask for orange slice in your sweet tea... you'll forget all about lemon! read more

Overpriced for the quality of the food. Was not impressed at all. Very sad looking salad bar. Also the restaurant was hot. We were too warm and were sitting under a vent read more

First time to visit. What a wonderful place! Excellent buffet of fine Southern cuisine: fried chicken, fried catfish, pinto beans, cream corn, green beans, fresh garden salad, cole slaw, corn bread...and topped off with peach cobbler. I will definitely be back. read more

While Posey's isn't the most beautiful restaurant, or offer the widest selection of food, what they do offer is delicious and very affordable. My two boys love their burgers with French Fries, and I've enjoyed their dinner buffet which contains Fried Chicken, Catfish, and the type of food one considers to be "Southern food" Please note that if you are health conscious - YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING SUITABLE HERE. Even the Salad Bar has very few healthy options. But if you're willing to eat some greasy food, it's going to taste great! read more

Posey's was jam packed the night I went. We waited 5 more or less minutes. I got the buffet. Every item of the buffet was was fresh. The main attraction is whole catfish fried to perfection. Greens, chicken, shrimp, salad bar were all very good. I think their main attraction dessert is peach cobbler. It looked great but I didn't taste it. The food I had seemed freshly prepared. That is to say no canned green beans or powdered potatoes. The service is good they were way more attentive than one would expect as busy as it was. I think it is family owned and it seems the entire family pitches in to make it work. It is a very relaxed come as you are atmosphere. There are fun interest things on the walls like retro cars though they dont amount to ambiance. I'd go back. read more

Posey's is crowded and will make you fat. Sometimes they sit you at a long table next to people. But, besides that, it's great. The buffet is fried chicken and catfish, mashed potatoes, etc. Ordering off the menu is good too. The steak tips are huge and actual steak. If you show up and the decently sized parking lot is full and people are parking on the grass, mentally prepare yourself for the wait. This happens very often. read more

Love this little homey small town restaurant. I will say I like the food off the menu versus the buffet... night and day difference. Love that they have sweet potato fries! Younger people work and here and it's always been a wonderful experience! Little peace of heaven in Hazel Green, check it out! read more

Great value! Very friendly staff. We were super impressed with how clean the little buffet bar is kept! All the food was well prepared and the portions are generous. Glad this is close to us! read more

This is a GREAT local restaurant with Southern food. We love it. EVERYONE there is friendly and the service is excellent. My kind of home cooking. I really like that they have left and right handed serving gloves for the buffet line :) This is our local go-to restaurant. read more

Fantastic people and southern favorites can't say enough good about the ownership...most times they are right Their to handle anything you might need. They prepare there food with love at a very reasonable price...good clean environment..friendly service and quick to services also read more

Wonderfull environment and great food the buffet is always fresh and well stocked , friendly people great place.

Great chicken fingers and good ole sweet tea. Always get a portion that I can not finish and have to take home. Only downside is that the buffet can be a little of the slim choice side. Otherwise a good restaurant and friendly service. read more

My wife and I love this place! Always fresh food on the buffet and the fried chicken is delicious!

Eaten there a few times, never disappointed, always over-eat. I'm not a huge fan of buffet all-you-can-eat, but this one has good (seemingly) home-cooked meats and veggies. And the Banana Pudding - well my son summed it up "This is as good as Grandma's!" (I told him not to tell her that.) read more

I love this place! The owners and the staff are so nice and friendly. The food is great but needs a little salt after you fix your plate, but it's understandable for people who can't eat salt. The fried chicken is to die for. Oh and go on Monday's during lunch, they have a macaroni casserole to die for and the whiten fish is good also. I would come here every day if I could. read more

Current system being used is terrible. Only go thru their buffet once, most of my meal was cold and tasteless. Price is still too high. Will not return. read more
