Food Not Cooked, no southern hospitality inside. November 2025 Not lots of restaurants in Albertville. But decided to stop again big big mistake. We stopped on A Sunday around 2:30 pm. Not busy plenty of seats we was taken to the last booth also cold to sit there. I got a hamburger first bit not even warm. My friend got the combo of shrimp, chicken, beef. He said well done on steak came to table raw for steak, chicken not cooked, he didn't try the shrimp. Ask for a manager the waitress said what's wrong. Didn't want to tell the story 2 times. I said to her manager. Man comes over just looks at mel had to ask if he was the manager already knew from that alone he didn't care. Told him he said sorry. Nothing else to have us come back. We went to Longhorn they were packed so know why on Sunday they didn't have business. Everybody went to Longhorn. Are food from Longhorn was hot and tasty. And a great waitress. read more

This place is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily stop in again unless I had to. Pros: Everyone was friendly, from hostess to our server The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms There's plenty of parking There's something on the menu for everyone, I guess Ample gratis rolls with spiced butter Prices are quite reasonable Cons: The server forgot I had ordered a salad until I reminded her when she checked on us halfway through eating our entrees (and the salad had some really gross chopped tomatoes included, not that I wanted it at that point) My burger had absolutely zero seasoning, and it was DRY--even the ketchup at the table couldn't save it. I would have appreciated an offer of mayo, mustard, anything...but the whole salad debacle interfered The mashed potatoes were FOUL and ice cream scooped (never a good sign) When you have that many items on the menu, you know that things are being microwaved and little attention is being paid to details With that said, for what it is--basically Applebee's and Outback had a baby and decided to have Chili's (for the fajitas) as a godmother--it's alright. There are many other local (non-chain) joints in the general vicinity I'd patronize first. read more

Cook needs to lighten up on the salt/sodium added to the food. Too much sodium for people whom have high blood pressure.

We were here for our great niece birthday party.Service began a little rocky but the waitress pulled it out.Food was good and my beer was cold.Overall would still recommend it from The Working Man Review. read more

I came in here with a group of business clients and they were quick to say that it was a favorite spot of their's. Crazily enough, I had driven by s few if their locations and always said that I would stop by by never had so I was kind of psyched that today was finally the day. This particular location appears to be extremely popular as we pulled up a bit after eleven o'clock in the morning and a crowd was building up already. We were seated and given our menus and our drink orders were taken. Everyone else at the table ordered either the filet mignon or the salmon, so I figured those were the two good choices, so I went with the filet mignon with a loaded baked potato and I had ranch dressing on my salad. We also got the sausage appetizer and the boom boom shrimp appetizer for the table to share. Both appetizers came and both were good. My salad came next and it was also good and they put on enough salad dressing (few places put what I deem an appropriate amount of salad dressing). My filet mignon and loaded bake potato were good, especially for the price point. I would definitely recommend a visit here. read more

I love the pork chop entree with baked sweet potato. Huge portion, perfectly seasoned. Alone today so sat at the bar & it was a nice dining experience with good service & ambiance. read more

Jenn was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and attentive, making our dining experience even better. The restaurant itself was spotless, and the food came out hot and fresh. Jenn truly is a superb waitress. Out of the Santa Fe locations I've been to, this one is by far the nicest! read more

We had New York Strip steaks carry out. They were cooked to perfection, really great taste and order filled correctly. The food was packaged to stay hot. Great food, great service. read more

the food was great! the service not so much. not only did it seem to take forever to get our orders, but she was openly rude and condescending to another waitress. it was incredibly unprofessional. The other employee was obviously younger and new and I've never but more put off by my own waitresses actions not even directed at me. I believe her name was crystal. I hope the younger girl doesn't quit because of how older staff treat them. read more

Great service , great food! Love coming to see Kristen when she is here, she is quick and friendly and a lot of fun! If there is ever a mess up the manager is quick to come out and apologize and fix it very rarely that happens but hey life happens but especially when it's busy! Been there for Birthday and such and enjoyed a lot of life memories. There drinks are epic! So check them out they are great and some pretty cool peeps ! read more

Traveling, this was near our hotel and, after a long day, we wanted a nice evening meal. Seated immediately, we ordered a beer/cocktail and looked over the menu. So many choices and prices were so reasonable imo. We settled on chicken fried steak and 12 oz sirloin, both meals came with a generous and tasty house salad (the croutons were killer!) and a side (we both chose a baked potato, $.99 made it loaded). Meals were enormous! Perfectly medium rare steak(ordered mushrooms and onion topper for additional $1.99) and crunchy chicken fried steak (so tender!) were so satisfying. We also ordered a full rack of ribs to take home for the next day. Delicious sauce, nicely charred and very tender but with a bite. Another large side salad and big baker made for a great carry out. Three huge meals, two beers and a cocktail and less than $90! Friendly staff, neat old-timey western decor, lots of parking -if we lived in the area this would be our go-to date night! read more

My silverware was dirty. We placed an order of cheese, sticks, salads, and steak we received cheese sticks never received our salads. My husband ordered medium rare and it came out way undercooked he was not even able to cut it or eat his steak very disappointed. read more

Great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere + a nice conversation with the waitress.

Caring for my ailing Mom in my hometown. We ordered three different dinner salads and picked them up. They were all huge and delicious! Undoubtedly heavy on calories, but, how could they not be; so good. Huge vat of dressing on the side...like a third of an average bottle, I'd guess. They even provided about six rolls with cinnamon butter! Good deal/good food. read more

I recently stopped at this restaurant on the way home from Huntsville. the food was wonderful, however the service tainted the whole experience. Our waitress completely forgot about us. she never refilled our drinks, our appetizer wasn't brought until we asked another server about it. I had to go to the hostess to even get my bill and to-go box read more

Had lunch today at the Fort Payne location, and Carol took excellent care of my wife and I. The food was tasty (especially their new chili cheese fries!), but it's really Miss Carol we'll be coming back to see! read more

Ordered my food over the phone to-go at 5:42pm they told me it would be 30-45 mins, got there around 6:37pm and there was 3 people ahead of us that had already been waiting for 15mins! In the 30 MINS of waiting in line not ONE employee came over to ask if we needed anything or if we had been served.... Come to find out my food had been sitting there the WHOLE 30 mins ready... so now I have to eat a cold meal ... terrible service read more

Waitress she done everything she could to make situation right, In the end it was a pleasingly good night.Food was great ! Will definitely will be back. read more

I was rolling solo for business. Sat at the bar for my dinner. Tia, the bartender, was great! She was fast, attentive and engaged with all her customers. She took my drink order with quick delivery. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, meat was seasoned and flavorful. Got side salad instead of fries. Large salad, fresh crisp lettuce, fresh diced tomatoes and perfect amount of ranch. Tia brought the salad out within minutes of ordering and the Philly was not far behind. Fresh hot rolls were tasty w/cinnamon butter. Inside was clean, cold AC and nice energy level by team. Next time I am in Albertville, AL I will be back. read more

The food was decent but waiting over an hour for the food to make it to the table was frustrating and disappointing. We watched two tables around us get their food and leave and others show up and get their food and leave, and then I realized how long we had been waiting. Eventually we got our food and our food was comped, but I'm fairly sure I'll never be back to this location again. I won't be reaching out so you can regain my confidence. Your bathrooms are terrible btw. You walk in and there's no air circulation and it smells of urine, you can tell the walls haven't been washed in days, not to mention the soap dispenser was empty, so I'm pretty sure the people that work there aren't benefiting from that in any way, along with the customer base. Look I get it, it's Albertville, but I've been to several of your locations in the USA and this location compared to all the others is scraping the bottom of the barrel in most every category. Thanks though, but seriously I will never be back to this location unless it's closed and opens as another business with better standards. read more

My family and I came to Albertville from Arab to eat dinner. We had a about a ten to fifteen minute wait after being told it would be about thirty minutes. That's always a good thing! Once we sat down the waiter was Johnny on the spot. He did very well with getting our order correct, out in a timely manner, and following up to make sure that all was well. My only complaint was that the ribs could've used a bit more barbecue sauce when they came out, but nothing that the waiter couldn't bring me to add. read more

Poor take-out service. Had to wait a hour past pickup time for a 4 dinner order while also leaving out an entire order

Terrible service and food was even worse. Somehow my order didn't get put in with the kitchen. I unfortunately had to wait over an hour after being seated, and they weren't even full. Tea was like water. Steak was thin and TOUGH. 1st and last trip there! Ambiance was lacking. read more

Morgan is no doubt the best server around. He makes sure the food is fresh and the quality is amazing.

Amazing food, amazing service. The bad thing is that it's so good. There's usually a line up at dinner time.

Consistently they have a nice Menus and many selections! Great food here as well The service is often a bit slow but with the wait. They are always busy! This is the only steak house in Albertville ! read more

Adequate with occasional flashes of brilliance. Our local SFC has had difficulty keeping servers, so there's an unusually long wait most days. Food is always decent and sometimes is excellent. Manager has always take. Great care to be visible and attentive, they're definitely doing the best they can! Would go 4 stars if it were more consistent. read more

Went and had an early dinner and it was SO good. Steaks were good perfectly and had a great taste.

We love coming here to eat. The drinks, food and servers are all great. There's not anything on the menu that we don't like. The jumbo mozzarella sticks are a must have! read more

We came in with a large party as part of a baseball team - about 26 or so. Service was not good, very slow. Food was ok, but nothing to write home about. Steaks were just ok - not much flavor, needed to break out the A1 sauce. Management offered the entire party her "employee discount" but then only provided free non-alcoholic beverages on our checks. This restaurant is not ready for the clientele visiting the town for travel sports. Will look elsewhere next time. read more

I don't like Albertville but I like this place. I'll be back. Steak cooked perfectly as ordered. Came out quicker than expected and was still hot! Bread awesome! Friend pickles incredible! Server was on it! For the money and the city....you can't beat it! read more

Five of us had lunch here. We all enjoyed our meals. Two of us had the A burger, a large multi layer burger. It was very moist and very good. Two had salads which they enjoyed. One had fajitas, which she liked. I thought the slaw was good. Service was excellent. read more

OK on another MC ride and we stopped here for a late lunch. I usually rate these places high and the food was really good. I won't expand on the décor but to just say it is a rustic cowboy type atmosphere with high tops, tables, booths and a good size bar. I had the Cowboy Trio (not sure the name) which had sausage, chicken and ribs... .it was awesome and the sausage was spicy but one of the best I have had in a while. Ribs and Chicken were also very tasty and would recommend this. They have draught beer and a pretty good selection but mostly domestic and no craft beer (+1). Now for the service.... This is the first time I actually thought of asking the manager to change servers... it was terrible. First she was very loud and did not even know what they had for beer, or food and was pushy and tried to hurry us... and when we ordered, she brought the wrong beer.. ..and then with her boss there said we must have changed our mind.. which we did not. basically blamed us for her mistake.... Then it took forever to get our food and then it was impossible to get her attention after that and to get things we needed I flagged down another server... When the bill came, we paid with Credit cards and after we signed them, she took our copies and crumpled them up and took them with her. When she came back and we asked for our copies she was visibly frustrated, huffed and walked off... I actually lowered my tip after that, which is something I never have done before. The food was very good and a good value, but it was so tainted by the service I did not enjoy it as well as I could have. I give this a 1 for service and a 4 for food... I will give it a reluctant 3.... Service is important in my book. read more

The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the decor was really cool, and the service was perfect. Our server, Monica, was attentive, fast, and so good with our kids. Other servers came by and gave them candy and lots of attention. We loved and and we will be back. read more

Came on the Saturday before Easter and they were fairly busy. I sat at the bar and it was clean and well stocked, and the "bartendress" was in good spirits. It took a little longer than usual as she was the only one at the bar and as I said they were busy! I had the grilled tilapia w/grilled shrimp that came with a house salad and I ordered mine with broccoli. It was pretty good overall and the food was prepared well and cooked as it should be, and the salad was pretty tasty to. They're ranch dressing is homemade and pretty good imo. I live right down the street but this is my first time back in a while so I gave them 4 stars because I usually reserve the 5 star rating for a little better service and superb quality. However, this is a chain restaurant so u can't have to high of an expectation, but again overall it was pretty good and I'll most likely come back on a fairly regular basis read more

My husband & I went here and we sat at the bar! The bartender was a bit of a smart butt, he acted as if his "shit doesn't stink" (for lack of a better wording)...he wasn't cute enough or good enough to be that cocky! I ordered an appetizer when we ordered our first drink, 2 drinks, food ordered, & our salads out later, still no appetizer! Every time I ordered a drink, he acted like it was a burden! We finally got our Wagon Full...the steaks were over cooked, but the chicken and ribs were delicious! Never received our appetizer! We love it here and will be back, but will wait for a table if the same guy is behind the bar! I gave 4 stars because this is the worst experience we have ever had here so the times out weigh this one time! read more

Fast service and delicious food. I haven't eaten a bad meal yet and we go about once a week. The menu had something for everyone.

Good food. Friendly staff. However, not one staff person was wearing a mask. None of them Nd very dew patrons were wearing a mask.

all I got was the big a salad and baked potatoe . But it hit the spot . So I can't complain about that !
