    Ordered the chicken nachos. So disappointed. Not real cheese, used processed liquid cheese. Very little chicken and a cup of sour cream.

    Stopped by for an early dinner. It is an unassuming exterior, but easy to spot from the road due to…read morethe easy-to-spot signage. The inside was very clean and offered indoor dining or carry out. We ordered the pulled pork platter the two sides for this were the baked beans and the vinegar slaw. The pulled pork was some of the best I've eaten. I didn't add any sauce -no need to change that delicious flavor!! We also ordered the rib and brisket platter. Again, what can I say but both meats were tremendously yummy. However we did try some of the Alabama white sauce on the ribs-- yum!! The collard greens and potato salad were also good. Prices are moderate and the service was quick. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I met the owner while I was there and he was was very friendly and outgoing. The ambiance is pretty humble, but it is thefood that truly shines here. I went with the chicken and for my sides I went with the potato salad and the hot mustard slaw. The chicken was stellar. The potato salad was great. Personally, I was not blown away by the mustard slaw, but I never had it before and it could just be me. Mitchell's Smoked Meats is analyzing choice and I would definitely recommend Mitchell's Smoked Meats.

    We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid…read morelittle spot for country cooking. The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better. Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread. Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable. As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges. Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.

    Quick take: 3-stars is generous. Food was good and bad. Service was nice, but execution was…read morequestionable. Restaurant looked clean. I probably won't come back to this location, maybe would try another. We rolled through drive-thru around 4pm on Saturday, October 18th. We were 1st in line, didn't look like many people inside. We were asked to pull forward, which is fine. We got a slaw dog, a Bama Wrap with fries, a pork sandwich, pecan pie, and sweet tea. We didn't wait too long but I am not sure which thing took the longest. The reason I say that is the fries were soggy so surely we weren't waiting on them. Also, the sandwich's bun was very soggy, almost sopping wet. I would say this is carry-out and these sat in box but that was not the case. We opened right after getting Slaw dog - delicious, but WEAK dog. This hot dog tasted awesome but the weiner was little. It didn't fill the bun and it was very narrow. Would love this with a better weiner. Bama Wrap - delicious and would order again. Very messy. Interested in the other wraps. Pecan pie - good, average. Not many pecans. Very thin layer on top. Also, no fork so we had to eat with hand (no biggie.) Sweet tea - great Pork Sandwich - pork had a good taste but wife couldn't eat the sandwich because both buns were soaked through and falling apart. Maybe get all wet stuff on the side. But I don't understand because she got into it pretty quickly. Fries - such great potential. They had a nice flavor. But these were all soggy and not fresh/hot. Very sad. They were the first thing I reached for because I could eat while driving.

    Notice the meat portion; absurdly small. Mac & Cheese portion would have been fine if edible.
