Stopped for lunch as we were passing g through on a recent road trip. Enjoyed the home cooking. Everything was very good. Service was good and food was reasonably priced. Would definitely return if ever in the area. read more

We stopped on the way back from Florida, based on the previous Yelp reviews. Yum! Good country cooking served with a smile - and a bit of sass - by "Tee Tee" (yes that's her name). Pictures don't tell the whole story but if you like local food (and a lot of locals eat here), get here EARLY because the place fills up fast. read more

Next time, we're back in Dothan, we will come back!! read more

Good soul food and good service. Very friendly staff. Menu includes everything you would expect with country cooking. The only thing we did not enjoy was their version of cornbread. I enjoyed fried shrimp, hush puppy, Lima beans and turnip greens. read more

Blue Plate Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The prices are surprisingly low for the quality you get--great value without sacrificing taste or portion size. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is consistently professional and friendly, making the dining experience feel welcoming from the moment you walk in. Service is efficient, attentive, and never rushed. And of course, the food is the real highlight. Everything is cooked to perfection, and you can tell they put pride into every plate. If you're looking for affordable prices, great food, excellent quality, and professional service, Blue Plate Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend! read more

Love your veggies!!! And your vegetable beef soup. And your chicken pot pie. Still going down the menu. read more

Stopped in here for a quick bite! It's next door to a motor sports store, looks small but the restaurant itself is actually fairly big- plenty of tables and booths available. Seat yourself but a server came over immediately with menus and a smile! Drink orders were taken and when they were brought out we were given a basket of fried cornbread for the table. The menu isn't huge but has all the southern comfort foods, which is what we were looking for on this rainy day! The kids menu has at least 12 different things on it, which is a plus for those picky eaters! The soup of the day was Cheeseburger, server brought over a sample and it was delicious. Decided to go with the vegetable beef soup and a small salad, also very delicious! Fried okra has always been a favorite and it was no different from here. The BLT was good, that bacon was perfection! If you are ever in the area definitely stop and check this place out!! The food is great and the staff is super friendly!! read more

My wife got a BLT and it was packed with bacon. She said it was the best one she's had anywhere except for when I make them at home. I got a hamburger and it was delicious. Nothing wrong with this place. Great service great food great prices and great ambience but closed on Mondays. read more

My wife and I had awesome meal. Our waitress Chelsea performed an awesome job. She was very kind and was constantly making sure you had everything you needed. The food and the prices were good. We will return. read more

If you're looking for some downright country type atmosphere home type cooking great service Christian oriented restaurant closed on Sundays and Mondays, but they have the best chicken liver and giblet gravy that I've had in years read more

Found this gem on our way back to GA from Panama City. We love country cooking and diners and this one did not disappoint! I ordered a 3 vegetable-vegetable plate of mashed potatoes and gravy, purple hull peas and turnips. All 3 were absolutely delicious and I highly recommend! My husband ordered a pulled pork sandwich and turnips. He really enjoyed his too. We were also served a basket of biscuits and small fried cornbread. The service was great and the country atmosphere was very cute. I only have one negative thing- I needed a bigger stomach to hold it all. read more

Ordered chicken and dressing and the dressing came out with a chicken wing, a chicken breast, and with gravy on the top of it with a bone in it. I'm sorry but it looked like something I would have feed my dogs. I sent that crap back! Chicken and dressing should have the chicken picked off the bone and mixed in it. I don't know what they were thinking so I asked the cashier when we payed for our meal why they done this and she said the only thing she could think of is that it made it easier for the cook. This is laziness at its finest. If you're ever in Huntsville Alabama and want to eat at The real Blue Plate Restaurant there breakfast, dinner, and supper is out of this world! It's all home cooked, no bones on the chicken and dressing and let me tell you about the chicken and dumplings omg they are so good they'll make you want to slap your grandma. The breakfast is so good it's like sitting at Grandma's house. read more

Food and service is always very good. I typically eat at the southside location on the circle ,

Typically I have a great Southern, country cook'n experience at Blue Plate but today has left me puzzled. I've wanted to try the Alabama White sauce (aka bbq sauce) being from Kansas City but also a lover of Carolina bbq. While the flavor of the pecan smoked chicken and the white sauce was unique snd delicious, the chicken breast was so tough the I only got about 3 tender-enough-to-chew bites. The Mac and cheese is not good, second rate, industrial liquid cheese versus s hood ok fashioned homemade cheese sauce. We came to the south location in Dothan and the North Blue Plate seems to be better quality cooking. My guest had the standby buttermilk fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans, which she said was great. read more

The service was quick and the staff was friendly. We were a party of five. We had everything from a BLT, to Porkchops to the Meatloaf plate. The food was served as expected with southern charm included. The five of us had a very reasonable dinner and would recommend to a friend, looking for a plate of home cooking if they were in the area. read more

The only place that has liver and onions for my Mother. I'm a vegetarian so I enjoy the vegetable plates. The folks working there are wonderful, it's just a great place for lunch or dinner. read more

Service with Chelsea was outstanding, fast, efficient and friendly. Food was like grandma would cook! Meatloaf was huge portion as was my husband's country fried steak. Place was clean and very busy as it was after church but food and service was on point. We just moved 30 mins from here and were shopping in the area. Will drive back just to eat here. read more

We really enjoyed our meal at The Blue Plate South on our way back to Atlanta. We had been to the other location and enjoyed the food here just as much. Service was a bit slow but very friendly and efficient. The portions are huge and everything was fresh and delicious. I had the smothered chicken breast and my husband had the country fried steak. Veggies were homemade and prepared beautifully . . . not overcooked like you often see in meat and three spots. There is ample seating, but you may have to park a bit far away if you get there past 11:30. Overall, a very pleasant experience! read more

Surprisingly good food and service. The place is located in an industrial looking strip mall of some sort. Inside it is anything but fancy. I enjoyed a meat loaf, okra, sweet potato and a small dinner salad. Dessert was ... well, I can't recall what I had but I enjoyed it! The okra was burnt to a crisp but other than that, a pretty decent experience. Pricing is reasonable as well. read more

Awesome experience. Loved the fired okra. Husband got a meat entree and I got vegetable plate. We shared the meat. Great service too!

I came here tonight and ordered the beef liver and onions with mash potatoes and fried okra. The liver was ok. Kind of skimpy on the onions and a bit salty for my taste. The mash potato was good, and the fried okra was delicious. The best part of this experience was my server. She she was very attentive and courteous. Overall, the food was good. read more

The reason we love small town America. This place is as good as it gets. The service was prompt and courteous, and our server Red was especially helpful in helping us make our menu selections. Everything we tried was of excellent quality and the prices were very good for the food received. We would for sure return to this restaurant another time if ever in the area... read more

Okay place for Southern food. I liked the cornbread dressing and the dessert of the day (dirt chocolate pudding), but the fried okra was stale and the pecan smoked chicken lacked flavor. The portion size is good and each plate comes with a roll and cornbread pieces. I was confused by the cornbread pieces... Fine if you need fresh food quick, but the food isn't particularly impressive. read more

Good country food, fast service, upbeat & friendly server, fair prices & easy access.

My husband and I came into Blue Plate after church at 1:58 pm. anticipating the usual warm atmosphere and even warmer food. However instead we got a rush/cold waitress and cold left over food. First the waitress brought us out 5 nubs that were suppose to be cornbread. When we tried to eat them they were like chewing cold bread. When we asked could we get some hot bread, the waitress said "no, its too close to 3pm". 3pm is when they close. Meanwhile the waitress serving the other tables were bubbly and friendly with fresh bread. We ordered and the food (meatloaf and steak) with veggies. All came back cold. I calmed my husband down and suggested we wait and address the manager. We spoke with the cashier and she was geniuenly concerned and went to get the manager. The amanager was attentive and agreed that the service was wrong and apologized. She said she would make it right for us, when we came back in. Ordinarily I would accept this but having been in leadership in retail for years "this term " is used to get the customer out the door. An obvious sign of "yeah we heard you but.....". To seal the deal, the manager did not ask for our names, so how can you make it right when we come back. This is the Blue Plate on the Circle. read more

Upon arrival to Alabama several days ago decided to catch something to eat prior to my arrival to my AirBNB for my job assignment. Came upon the Blue Plate due to its great reviews. I ordered the Country fried steak with a tossed salad and mashed potatoes with gravy. They gave me some biscuits and a few hush puppies to get me started. When I received my country fried steak it was surprisingly delicious. My initial thoughts were that it was going to be heavy because of the way it was fried but nonetheless the batter get light and the steak really good and had great flavor. The mashed potatoes and salad were good as well. Service was nice and pretty quick. The restaurant itself was very spacious, clean and pretty much like a family feel. read more

Good selection of entries from salads or sandwiches to full plate meals. This is country cooking at its best. The rutabagas are out of this world and my personal favorite is the liver and onions with brown gravy. Check the board when you enter. If you see corn nuggets don't delay. Good selection of desserts too for those that have room after their meal read more

Went to try this place after seeing reviews. They accommodated our family of 7 nicely. Food was okay but portions are very small. The men in our group were still hungry. read more

We had an excellent stop at the Blue Plate! The food was yummy and filling (Chicken Pot Pie). The service was extremely kind and friendly!

Absolutely delicious the fried chicken was the best my husband has ever had except my gma's and the fried chicken livers and gizzards were absolutely delicious so was very the homemade banana pudding nothing like the kind made from the pudding from a can like most restaurants serve .. very comfortable and personable the service was amazing hard to believe all of the best qualities in one small off the beaten path restaurant!! And as we travel to Oklahoma I have to say not one restaurant has even come close to having the his great service and delicious food ... and we have tried several.. read more

We are on a road trip and stopped by this place. Living in Florida, it's difficult to find Purple Hull peas. These were so good. I had catfish with peas and a delicious blackberry cobbler. My boyfriend had the meatloaf and peas plus cobbler. We ordered the fried pickles. They were thin and crispy. The sauce was delicious. Service was fast and she gave us some recommendations for favorites of the diner. Delicious food. If we travel through here again, we will stop in for a meal. read more

Stopped by here on the way back to Atlanta from visiting PCB. Tried online, but ended up just ordering when we got there. Turned out to be better that way because the online menu didn't know they were out of chicken and dumplings. Ordered the catfish plate, chicken tender plate, and pecan smoked chicken plates to-go. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. Everything tasted great. Be sure to also get the dessert of the day! read more

I waited all week for the chicken and dumplings. i got there at noon and the dumplings and sauce were brown not white?! Either old or used gravy to stretch them. either way a waste of money. Quality has gone down since covi, much smaller portions, no bread or biscuit options any longer. just hard fries cornbread. there are a lot of refrigerator and freezer wholesale options for bread, but either too cheap or lazy to give that option any longer. there are just too many places that offer the same price point here in town, to accept this quality or lack of it! read more

To be honest the food tasted mass produced and was not that great. Definitely southern food but just lacked flavor.

Good food , Good sweet iced tea , Good service !!! Had BBQ sandwich and fries , I will be returning !

Hidden beside a Motorsport Dealer, it exudes all the attributes of a hometown diner. Service was excellent, prices were very good considering the portions. LARGE portions. Worth a try if in the area. read more
