Excellent food and service. One of our favorite restaurants when traveling from Birmingham to Dothan.

On our way to Birmingham and hungry, we stopped at this restaurant with the parking lot full of cars - one of our ways to guide us to a good restaurant. The menu is simple and limited, but perfect for a homy kind of meal. They offer 1 choice of meat and 2 sides or 1 and 3 sides, and also about 5 choices of specials of the day plus about 4 choices of deserts - we planned for the apple cobbler, but no room in our stomach, unfortunately. Prices are very good, portions were huge. My husband chose chicken fingers and said he never had such a tender chicken. I had the fried shrimp, also very tender inside and crispy outside. The picture I shared was "after" I was finished, so generous the portion is. The ambience is simple but very nice. There are about 3 rooms style; we set in the booth in the front (nice) on the left side, in front of it there's s room with tables, and behind a nicer room with great light, which we will try next time. All customers seem to be returned clients, the happening of the town I guess, very warm and friendly as well as the staff. If you are on the road, great place to stop. If you live near by, well, I'm sure you were there today or will be tomorrow. read more

Sisters Restaurant - Southern Near Me - Troy, Alabama

Our cross country road trip is close to being done. We came to Troy for the week to visit my husbands family and of course we had to visit as many friends and family as possible. For one of our lunches we met my husbands former coach and family and he had suggested we meet at sisters. Now this is a local place for sure. They have their meats, sides, a few baskets, salads and kids options. Service here for our table of 11 was amazing- attentive, quick and sweet. Now once my husbands coach explained the menu we picked our meal. Hubby went with the salmon croquettes and two sides, my son went with the chicken tender and fries and my daughter got a side of Mac and cheese. For my lunch I decided to go with the 4 side platter consisting of Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, cabbage and beans. The ambiance here definitely gives me simple but cozy vibes with wooden tables and chairs. The food came quickly and was good southern food you'd expect to find. read more

Sisters Restaurant - My 4 sides - Southern Near Me - Troy, Alabama

The service is super quick and the food is simply delicious.This place reminds me of my grandmothers cooking.

The menu is limited but simple and priced well. My family enjoys eating lunch here mostly for the fried shrimp and chicken. I had the salmon croquettes which were basically tuna from a canned and then shaped into a crab cake and fried, very dry but was still okay with tartar sauce. The waitresses were very attentive and made sure we had everything and checked in frequently. We usually dine in the back room but it was closed today for some reason. The tables are spacious and the decor on the walls are fun to read. read more

We'd been wanting to eat at Sister's Restaurant in Troy for years and being from out of the area never found it open until the stars aligned today. They were an extreme disappointment! You could have exactly the same quality food from Wal-Mart Great Value canned goods at home but do a better job! They have no cooks there-only can openers! The food was bland, the only thing country was the location, not the food. I asked local friends after we left- they said the food/dining style has plunged in recent years, not like before by any means. The 1 star was for the food. Giving credit due- the staff of young waitresses were excellent, most efficient and attentive. It is sad to waste such good talent with such sub-mediocre food! read more

Friendly staff, great country cooking, meat and two or three menu, where the locals like to dine for lunch. Casual decor.

Really good meat and three. I ordered the fried white fish which was a little mushy but they gladly brought me something else (baked checked breast) which was delicious. Hubby had the chicken tenders. Sides were perfect. Fried okra, rice and gravy and sweet potato casserole. We didn't have dessert but they looked amazing. All the ladies working there were sweet and hard working. Will be back on our travels. read more

The meatloaf and sides were good but the banana pudding was terrible. Service was excellent. read more

Sisters Restaurant - The meatloaf was good. The banana pudding was awful tho, do not fall for that nonsense. - Southern Near Me - Troy, Alabama

Where the locals go for lunch. "World Famous "Nanner Pudding"? C+. (Sister's could use my Wifey's recipe.) The fried shrimp platter is the best in Troy! read more

The cooks take care not to over-salt, and they don't over do the dishes, which some Southern cuisine places do to mask inferior quality ingredients. You can actually taste the flavors in the food here. I miss the old buffet but the food actually tastes better now that it's managed for quality more than quantity. read more

All the food was delicious and freshly prepared. They brought us a cornbread and yeast roll with each plate. The service was great! read more

Absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to go back! The food was delicious, and the arrive excellent.

Saw a sign for this place while traveling to the beach and decided to stop for lunch. It turned out to be a great choice! The parking lot was crowded but our group of 4 was seated immediately. The buffet was filled with southern delights. Chicken and dumplings, turnip greens, mac and cheese, fried and baked chicken, hamburger steak, ham, green bean casserole, and more. The service was great. All of the food taste great. There are several dessert options but the favs among my group were the bread pudding, the peach cobbler and the strawberry shortcake (which I missed out on). If you are ever passing through Troy and yearning for some Southern cuisine, give Sisters a try! Delish! read more

Excellent in every respect. Good food, good service, quick delivery. Don't often find fried chicken livers, fried green tomatoes and mashed potatoes, but this was a gem. Highly recommend. Don't let the huge number of vehicles outside deter you. Service is quick and efficient. read more

We absolutely love this place! The food and waitstaff are both amazing! We always plan at least one breakfast at Sisters

Have eaten here multiple times over the last several weeks while in the area working. Everyone here has been great. Highly recommend.

Visited Sister's for lunch. Authentic Southern, tastes like you made it at home - which is a good thing. Not quick, out-of-the-can. Had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, field peas and carrot soufflé. Everything was delicious. Friendly, fast service. Will definitely come here again. read more

The food and the our server was very amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food that I have received was very good.

Fantastic. Great sweet tea. Great fried chicken, mashed potatoes. Everything I had was great! read more

We had lunch here. I got the vegetable plate and was not disappointed. One in our party had the fried chicken livers. He let me have one and they were good; hot and crispy. The other person in our party had the baked chicken. She said it was moist, tender and tasty. It was very busy so there was a little wait time between placing our orders and receiving our food, but it wasn't too long. Overall, I'd recommend Sisters Restaurant to anyone who appreciates home cooking. read more

I had the lunch buffet on a Wednesday and it was exactly what you want from a Southern buffet. There was fried and grilled chicken, meatloaf, tons of veggies, mashed potatoes and mac n cheese, a few bread options, and some incredible peach cobbler and bread pudding. They also had a couple sugar free desserts. Everything tasted great and was always hot. read more

Food and service was amazing! In fact there was one employee who simply went above and beyond to help me during my visit here. I believe her name was Anna and she was blonde! She had the absolute kindest soul and helped me and my mother out tremendously! read more

Pretty good food on the buffet although I thought it was a little overpriced at $11. Not to knock on the restaurant but I didn't have anything that I couldn't get at any other buffet. I would go back if that's the type of food I was looking for. We did get great service. read more

Sisters Restaurant - cars parked in a parking lot - Southern Near Me - Troy, Alabama

Sisters is a staple of not only Troy, but Alabama in general. If you happen to be driving down Hwy 231 you have to stop here. Especially if you're lucky enough to catch their buffet on Thursday, Friday, or Sunday for lunch. This isn't your Golden Corral or Ryan's. The only way you can get better southern home cooking is if you were at your grandmas house. They treat you like family here too, of course, with that southern charm. They've got chicken, ham, beef, and any southern vegetable/vegetable casserole you want. And their banana pudding...famous! Coming here gives you the true Southern experience, so don't be offended if you get called ma'am or sir, that's just Southern respect. Also note you may have to park in the grass because this place is that popular. read more

So glad we stopped here after seeing a billboard! The food was wonderful, definitely up to my southern home cooked food standards! We were a little concerned that the wait would be long because there were so many cars in the parking lot, but were seated in less than 10 minutes. It was Friday so we got to experience the all you can eat buffet. The line got a lot longer right after we got in at 11:30, but still seemed to move quickly. All of my Southern favorites were in the buffet, but the best was the cornbread dressing! This place is not to be missed! read more

Pretty good. Went for the lunch buffet, seemed understaffed and overwhelmed but the food was good. Standard "home cooking" exactly what you'd expect. read more

Thanks goodness that my client took us here for lunch. Traveling the nation I find it very hard to find good home cooking. If your looking for a meal like your grandmother used to serve up this is the place. Great meatloaf (no peppers in it), fried chicken, salmon croquets and a multitude of other main items. Fresh vegetable, too numerous to list, but everything you would expect to find in a Southern garden. I even missed out on the salad bar as I went back for seconds of the fresh veggies. Banana pudding with the vanilla waivers in it like you remember growing up! Fresh iced tea and everyone was friendly and sincere when waiting on you or helping with your order. Cannot beat this place for price ($10.23 for all you can eat) or for quality items. I will be back even if I have to drive out of my way to get here. read more

We selected Sisters because several people said it was good. We selected Friday because they were having a seafood special all you can eat buffet. It was very disappointing. They had one little tray of some kind of white fish that was empty on the two occasions I went back. No other seafood but three kinds of chicken. The selection was very poor. If you want a soda with your dinner, it was extra. We are definitely are not going back. We were very disappointed. read more

The ladies at the Alabama Welcome Center suggested this restaurant. Considering it is 90 miles from the welcome center, we figured it MUST be great. Oh how right they were. We happened to go on a Thursday during their lunch buffet. Everything was incredibly delicious as well as fresh. Wonderful hot desserts like peach cobbler and banana pudding (which they are known for and with good reason, it was divine). Tea & coffee are included in the price of $10! $10??? Are you kidding me? Nope $10! Get their sweet tea, it is also incredible, just like everything else! So glad we spoke to those nice Welcome Center ladies :) read more

This place is a buffet with southern food. Salad bar is a little lacking, and they do a poor job of cutting up the salad fixings at times, but the Banana pudding makes up for it. BP is Best you'll ever have. Do not get it to go as THEY make your plate for you. Stay and eat and get your monies worth. read more

We arrived at Sisters for a buffet on a Friday around 1:45 p.m. and it was standing room only which we expected it to be directly after graduation. After waiting for nearly 30 minutes we were able to be seated. All of the hostesses were really nice and taking care of what we needed. However around 2:15 p.m. we were still waiting on the buffet to be restocked. We asked a waitress when would they be bringing more food for us to eat and she said "We close at 2." We were puzzled as although we were there before closing they allowed us to be seated. WARNING: GET THERE ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE CLOSING OR YOU WILL MOST LIKELY WILL NOT HAVE THE FRESHEST FOODS. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AT 2:00 P.M.....ALLOW YOU TO COME IN BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ALL FOODS AVAILABLE TO YOU. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MANAGER/OWNER IS RUDE AND WILL NOT LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY NOR WILL SHE TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT. However, the food we managed to eat was only chicken fingers, some hard bread and old fried string beans. The food had been sitting out for a while and was picked over and the only thing available were straps and empty trays. They brought out some dressing and more chicken fingers but that was it. What we managed to eat was probably good had it been fresh. When we went to pay, we started to talk to the cashier. She was extremely rude and kept trying to out talk me and not listen and kept saying, "All I can give you is a $1 off." but we never asked for a discount. When I asked for the manager, she looked over at the manager and said, "She's eating right now." Then she rolled her eyes and abruptly went and said something to the manager. The manager jumped up from her plate and huffed over to us and said, "All I can give you is a $1 off." Still again, we never asked for a discount and we only wanted to know the policy on the buffet not being available and having to pay full price. But the manager/owner just turned and walked away. It was the rudest experience in Troy, AL but we were not surprised based on how she treated us and how her staff treated us and considering we were in the deep country confederate flagged south. Of all the places we visited this was the worst and rudest place and we will never return to this restaurant nor support her nor her other family businesses. read more

People were super pleasant and accommodating. Food was ok usual buffet food. Very fresh

When I see a restaurant that claims to be a Southern Cooking restaurant I expect SOME fried food but not fried everything... and I also expect fresh country vegetables not canned or Frozen as was evident here. Although, it was apparently seafood buffet night, the reviews led me to believe that there would be some healthy choices available.... not so. The seafood tasted better than it looked and was fresh (I think). The place was clean enough and the staff pleasant enough, however it was quite expensive for the quality of the food and the desserts were almost unrecognizable. All in all, for a quick meal on a road trip, I guess it's okay but I would not recommend it nor would I go back for seconds. read more

If you love country cooking - this is your place. I'm not a fan of everything fried but the food was pretty good. Nice lunch specials, quick & friendly service, and some really good iced tea. read more

I saw the reviews on this restaurant while driving south from Nashville. It was Friday night and, at Sisters, that means it's seafood buffet night. It is an all-you-can-eat buffet which always makes me feel uncomfortable because I feel, as a relatively small eater, that I am there to subsidize the gluttons. So, to the food. It's almost all deep fried. The deep fried fish and chicken (seafood, right?) was nice. The onion rings..meh..the deep fried oysters and clams were nice, the french fries were not so good. There was salad and it was tired and tasteless, and lacked variety. The restaurant does not serve alcohol but does make good iced tea. Desert was included in the price and consisted of the worst looking banana pudding I have seen in a long time. The bread pudding, similarly, looked awful. The peach cobbler also didn't inspire me. For two fairly small portions, and two glasses of iced tea, we forked over $45 + tip. It was poor value for money. However the venue was nice and the servers were pleasant. All in all this is a place which would well suit someone who is very hungry and who loves deep fried food. It is what, in Australia, we would call a 'chew-n-spew'...Here, I guess you call it a 'greasy spoon'. It is not a place I would recommend. However, given the many good reviews, perhaps I just hit it on an off day.......maybe. read more
