Today's review is Rusty's BBQ located at 7484 Parkway Drive in Leeds, Alabama. They are a family…read morerun business and have won several awards over the years since opening in 2009. Rusty's is hands down the best BBQ in Alabama, I drive over 50 miles at least three times a month or more to eat here. They offer up pork sandwiches, plates, ribs, brisket, cheeseburgers, a vegetarian BBQ, chicken, sausage, world famous collards, homemade pies and more along with a variety of sides. I don't eat vegetables so I double down on the fries, I cover them with their sweet BBQ sauce, which I also love on the meat. The serving size at first glance looks a little small but don't be fooled, it will fill you up along with the generous helping of whatever side you order. The last time Julie was with me she ordered the ribs with okra and mac & cheese, both were enough to feed a family of four. The ribs were fall off of the bone and cooked to perfection, not burned like some rib places around the area. As for me, like I said, I always order the pulled pork plate with double fries, sweet BBQ sauce all over both. I have tried the spicy BBQ sauce and at first taste it was a little hot for my taste buds, but over time I kept dipping my fries in it and once I got used to it, it was pretty good, I would not put it directly on the meat or fries. I also tried the house sauce, it was just a sauce, kinda like if you didn't want your BBQ plain, best I can describe it is like drinking water instead of anything with taste, it's something to wet your throat. They offer a white sauce but I did not try it. The sweet tea is also very good. The service is good as well, someone came out and checked on me as I was eating, they play the blues on the radio but not too loud, the decor is local with lots of hometown football and area sports decor. The only thing I did not see that makes a great BBQ joint a legendary BBQ joint is a picture of Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, all of the legendary BBQ joints in Alabama have a picture of the Bear. Rusty's offers ample indoor and outdoor dining and plenty of parking with handicap parking available. Now to the only negative, when I order I always emphasize that I want NO pickles on my plate, I can't stand pickles or pickle juice. Several times they have put pickles on my plate, it's just a couple of small pickles and I remove them but it's the fact that I point it out plainly when ordering and they still get it wrong. I don't let little things like that slide when reviewing restaurants. If you are a local and eat here alot be sure to put your phone number in when paying to earn points for your reward, it's only 5% off, but every little bit counts. Overall Rusty's hits a home run when it comes to BBQ in the state of Alabama, it's worth the drive. 5/5

Visited the Cracker Barrel in Moody, Alabama with a group of four and unfortunately the food…read morequality was disappointing overall, even though the service was excellent. I ordered the country fried steak, and it came out extremely over-fried and half of it was hard as a brick. I had to send it back. Our server, however, was very polite, friendly, and handled everything professionally, which I appreciated. The biscuits and apple butter were definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, several other dishes missed the mark. The dumplings were overly salty, and the chicken and dumplings had very little chicken in it. Two people in our group ordered meatloaf dinners, and the portions were surprisingly small compared to what Cracker Barrel used to serve. It honestly felt like portion sizes had been reduced. We originally ordered the s'mores skillet dessert, but were told they didn't have the items needed to make it, which was disappointing. One thing I also noticed was that the suggested tip amounts on both the Cracker Barrel app and receipt appeared to be calculated using the total after sales tax instead of the pre-tax subtotal. They need to fix that. The restaurant itself was clean. Overall, the service saved the experience from being worse, but the food quality and value just weren't there this visit.

My first time going to Whataburger, the food and service were amazing.   Upon entering, the place…read morewas clean and super busy.   The gentleman that took my order greeted me as I entered and told me he'd be right with me.  I glanced at the menu, and it looked pretty basic for a hamburger place, but after trying the food... it was amazing.  This isn't the basic fast food chain I grew up going to like McD, Burger King,  or Jack in the Box.     We ordered: 1. Patty melt meal with large onion rings and large chocolate milk shake-  Words can't describe how good this was.  It was meaty and cheesy.  The double patty matched the amount of bread.  It was a perfect ratio, and the Texas toast just tied everything together.  The chocolate milkshake was easily one of the best I've ever had. It was thick, almost like a frosty, but tasted was better.  I was surprised at how big a large milkshake was compared to anywhere else.  The onion rings tasted like the kind you'd get at a diner. 2.  Bacon and cheese whataburger with a double patty large french fries and large sweet tea and lemonade - This was amazing. The veggies were fresh and crisp.   It was almost like the perfect salad.  This was equally cheesy and meaty in each bite.  French fries were addictive and went well with the spicy ketchup.  The sweet lemonade was super sweet but balanced perfectly with the lemonade. 3. Small strawberry shake -  for a small, this was comparable to a large shake you'd get anywhere else.  This tasted like fresh strawberry shake,  not the generic nestle quik or canned strawberries you'd have somewhere else.      Honestly, the whole experience start to finish was amazing.  The gentleman who helped me was super nice and helpful in figuring out what to order.  My drinks came out fast before my food.  I went to my truck to bring the drinks to my husband.   This way, it would be easier when the food comes out.   Right when I was about to walk back in,  someone came out with my order.  He told me no point of you going back in just to get your food.  He told me there were napkins, 2 ketchup, and 2 spicy ketchup.  I was like, "Thank you so much. You didn't have to."   Then he asked me if I wanted anything else or any other sauces.  I told him, "No, thank you and went back to the truck.  Never has anyone done that before with any fast food order I've ever made.  I'm not sure if that's how they normally do thinks but I truly appreciate how they went above and beyond.     On a side note,  I thought that it is really smart how they place the french fries and onion rings in a square container.  I've always hated how the container just spills or fries and stuff always falls in the bag.      I don't know why this place has so many bad reviews.   I highly recommend this place and can only hope that the quality of food and service is the same at any of their other locations.

RAW CHICKEN!!! DO NOT DINE HERE!!! They served me raw chicken on a crispy chicken deluxe sandwich…read more I called the store and the manager Steven told me I would have to drive all the way back up there for a refund. Offered no empathy, did not bother to take my details, did not seem to care. This is NOT food safety protocol. He should have at least asked for my details in case I get sick. This restaurant is going to make people very sick if not cause someone to die from this kind of negligence and lack of food safety handling. I have never in my life tasted something so nasty and I will be lucky if I ever get the memory of the horrid texture of biting into raw chicken out of my mind. To make matters worse, to require your customer to come all the way back to your establishment to get the items recooked as a refund option is beyond an absurd response. The drive there alone costs more in gas and time than the sandwich was ever worth. Not to mention why would anyone in their right mind want or even trust food from a restaurant that just served them raw chicken?! I will NEVER dine at McDonalds again, especially not this one.
