Why aren't the orders checked before handing to the customer ? Why if the staff busy is there not more staff? In this day of considering the price of eggs, of tightening the belt, of shopping locally I think I'll go somewhere where the carry out orders are appreciated.

This was our first time eating at Eggs Up Grill in Huntsville Alabama…read more We met family for brunch this morning before heading home after a visit. The menu has plenty of choices, and I enjoyed the corn beef hash with two eggs sunny side up which was very good, others had chicken and waffles, scrambled eggs with biscuit and gravy, and strawberry pancakes. Coffee was consumed and refilled. Our server was pleasant and we enjoyed some back and forth banter. The restaurant was clean, and overall ambiance comfortable. We will return on our next visit to Huntsville.

Our food was great as well. Zero complaints on what we ate that day. Orange juice was also very good. Even though it was busy, it wasn't loud and the crowds dispersed pretty quickly with how fast we were being served and it wasn't like we were rushed or anything.

Food was OK. What really did it for me was the cleanliness of the place - specifically the lack of…read morecleanliness of the staff. Most of the wait staff was wearing very tattered clothing and the worst offender was the bus boy. Although he was working his tail off, he looked like he hadn't showed in several days and hadn't washed his clothes in a week. His bus tub was disgusting. As he was cleaning the table beside us, he put the tub in the table top and as I turned my head to look over I lost my appetite seeing the condition of the tub. To know that he put it on top of the table made me even more disgusted. Not only was he bussing tables but he was also taking plates of food to tables. I, personally, would not have accepted food from him because it's very unlikely he washed his hands after cleaning tables off. Our waiter was nice but he looked very sloppy. I realize I'm not at a white table cloth restaurant but at least make sure the serve staff looks presentable. We won't be back.

My final work travel stop this week wrapped up with a mighty fine meal at Prohibition Rooftop Bar &…read moreGrill in Madison, Alabama. The restaurant sits just a stone's throw from the ballpark where the Rocket City Trash Pandas play, so the whole place already has a fun, lively atmosphere before you even sit down. Now given the name "Prohibition," I half expected someone to knock on the door and ask for a secret password like it was 1927. Back in those days, enjoying a drink required secrecy, dim lights, and maybe a jazz band playing in the corner. Today, things are a little easier... though for this non-drinker, my order was simple: water on the rocks, hold the lemon. I prefer my water about 100 proof for maximum flavor. My boss and coworker grabbed seats at the bar while we looked over the menu. We kicked things off with the Pork Belly Burnt Ends and the Pork Bao Buns. Let me tell you, those Pork Belly Burnt Ends were an absolute masterpiece. They came out crisp and seasoned just right with a little spicy kick. Served with raw carrots, homemade pickles, and lettuce wraps to bundle those little jewels together--downright tasty. If food had a Hall of Fame, these would already have a plaque on the wall. The Pork Bao Buns were good as well, but they simply couldn't match the grand slam the Pork Belly Burnt Ends delivered. For my main course, I ordered the Smoked Wangs with the Jala Mango seasoning and a side salad. The wings were delicious--cooked and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was solid. No bootlegging required. Prohibition definitely hit it out of the park today. Between the great food, the great service, and the fun atmosphere near the ballpark, this place is a must-stop for locals or anyone just passing through Madison. Our waitress tried pretty hard to convince us to order dessert, so I'm guessing their sweets are just as flavorful as everything else on the menu. The only problem I had today? I couldn't finish my meal. I was absolutely stuffed. If this had been the 1920s, the only crime committed here would've been leaving food on the plate. Great food. Great service. I'll gladly return--though next time I may need a little more room in the stomach.

I dunno does anyone ever go to those restaurants? well I might think about those restaurants differently now. I found a little spot off to the side that was just SO quaint and cozy, with comfy chairs, and a tv over the fireplace...I asked to make sure I could bring the puppy/carrying case situation in and they were just so nice. the wine was good and my chicken/ancient grains bowl was great, with some fun crunchies thrown in there for texture. would definitely come back with or without a puppy next time ha!

This was a little execution away from a 4 star. Decent restaurant style place at Huntsville…read moreairport, just wish it was inside the TSA area. Went with the pulled pork cuban. The flavors were real good. Smoked pulled pork and smoked ham really added to the flavor profile. The mix of swiss and white cheddar was perfect and I really enjoyed the creole mustard. The menu said grilled french roll and it was anything but. A little crispiness to the sandwich would have been great. The fries were hot which was great but they were taken out the fryer way too early, no crisp on the outside with soft consistency. The server was great and real nice. Good overall airport restaurant that would take a big jump with minor execution details.

We ordered a charcuterie board and French fries. The charcuterie was delicious. There was prosciutto and provolone cheese, strawberries, grapes, and bread. The fries were perfectly fried with good clean oil and seasoned well. Both foods 5/5. If you want to have a private party at Loona's Cafe, please call and book your appointment. They do a great job of decorating.

The cutest brunch spot!! Came on a Sunday around noon and…read morethe wait for a table inside was 30 mins but we were able to be seated outside immediately. They have the best coffee! (Spoken from somebody who is a coffee connoisseur) I love their cappuccino, which I've come and ordered to-go from their bar before. I got the chicken and waffles. It came with 2 chicken strips on top of a waffle. The waffle wasn't your typical crispy/fluffy Belgian waffle. It was really soft and reminded me more of a pancake? It wasn't my favorite. But the chicken was nice and crispy. The service was great, our server was really kind and took good care of us. Overall, very cute spot and one of my favorite places to get coffee but I wasn't too impressed with the food/portion sizes for the cost

My mom and I visited Minnie Lee's yesterday to give them a try while we were in Decatur. It's…read moreyummy - a good option for soul food! This restaurant is across the street from the fairly popular Francesco's Italian restaurant. Having been there before, I didn't have any troubles locating this place. The parking lot is a little rugged in spots but at least there's plenty of space. The inside is a little sparse but there's ample seating and some kind of cool drawings hanging on the walls. A portrait of who I can only assume to be Minnie Lee is near the entrance. Food is served cafeteria style by some very nice people. Seriously, the service was so warm and sweet. We felt very welcomed there. We both decided on fried chicken for lunch. My mom got the last breast from the batch so I wound up with a thigh, which isn't my favorite piece but I still like it okay. You can have more than two sides if you wish, but we didn't. I chose yams and fried potatoes as mine, while my mom got yams and cabbage. Note that their cabbage is cooked with sausage. For bread, they offered standard cornbread muffins or hot water cornbread, which the friendly staff recommended (good choice!). We both opted for sweet tea to drink. I'm not sure of the price because of course my mom snuck in and paid for both of our meals before I could notice! Lol. We found a clean booth and dug in quickly. Overall, the food was pretty good! This isn't necessarily a new favorite soul food place for me, but I'd definitely come back. The best item was honestly the cabbage! My mom let me taste a bite. So flavorful and perfect texture. This is real, southern-style cabbage (which is to say, probably not great for you...but quite tasty!). The hot water cornbread was also really good. It's different than the hot water cornbread I've had in the past; this version was very crispy on the outside with super soft, almost gooey, corny inside. It was yummy. The yams were also solid! Not the best I've ever had (flavor kind of one-note), but they were sweet and soft. The fried potatoes and fried chicken were both just okay. The fried potatoes weren't super hot or crispy, but the added flavor from the onions was nice. The fried chicken's breading was crispy and flavorful enough, but the meat, even on the thigh, was a bit dry. Neither were bad, but if I return in the future, I'd probably try something else first. We were too full for dessert, but they had pecan pie and banana pudding on display. Overall, lovely service and tasty food make this a solid option in the area.

Great customer service and I greatly appreciate their accountability/ willingness to make up for our previous visit. Last night we started with the crab croquettes, STELLAR. Absolutely loved and devoured these. The crunch on the croquette was to die for, topped with a refreshing crab salad, perfect. For my entree, I had the lamb rack with house potatoes & broccolini. My boyfriend had the blackened catfish with the grits. Both dishes were phenomenal . To finish up we tried their new chocolate strawberry bread pudding, so rich and delicious. This restaurant is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Northern Alabama. Go give them a try! We'll 100% be back.

One description said this had a hunting lodge atmosphere. I suppose that's true If your hunting…read morelodge looks like an early 20th century brick building with a few deer heads grouped in one spot on the wall and a small black bear above the door. This seemed to want to be a foodie destination. The half, fried chicken included a small drumstick, small wing, piece of breast, and another piece that was unidentifiable but might have been a thigh. It had a spicy sweet sauce covering, which we opted to have on the side. That was a good choice because the hint of cayenne was still too much for one diner. We asked about the slaw -- whether it had a cream or vinegar dressing. The server described it as a "creamy vinegar." It made no difference because the dressing was so understated that the side tasted more like chopped cabbage than anything else. Disappointing. Finally, I asked the server whether the grilled green beans were actually that. I was more curious than anything else because grilled green beans would take longer to cook. She said yes, they were grilled. I don't think so. They came out fairly quickly and were pretty universally blackened all over like they were cooked in a skillet. Once our food was delivered, we never saw our server again until I asked for the check. So, what I believe was intended to be an elevated dining experience was simply under executed.
