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.

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.

If you like good fried chicken this is a place to check out. This was my first time and the person…read morechecking me out was so helpful in helping me figure out the menu to meet my needs. I ordered two orders of fried chicken and got two pieces of catfish with blacked peas, Mac n cheese, and got both the cornbread and the roll (yes, I'm fat). The peas were good like home grown, the Mac n cheese was a bit dry like a casserole but had the flavor of well made goodness, the catfish also very good that was both crispy and moist and a pleasant flavor. THE CHICKEN: it has a medium crispy crust with a mild seasoning which still allows you to grab the fresh skin off the thigh and taste that natural caramelized fried chicken skin (the money shot). The breast was moist in the center, the brine had decent penetration. I would give the chicken a 7.9 out of 10. For reference KFC is a 5 out of ten. Honestly, if I married a beautiful skinny 20 year old and she cooked this good and ten years later she weighed 300lbs and someone ask me why I stuck around, I'd say try her cooking. I'm sure they would ask if she had a sister... this is good food y'all.

For lunch, I ordered the Oxtails plate (served with white rice + cornbread) with a choice of three sides. I opted for the Baked Mac & Cheese, Steamed Cabbage, and Luscious Collard Greens. The taste of the food was fantastic. The savory oxtails smothered in gravy were tender. All of the sides were flavorful and met expectations. For everything, it was priced at $29.99, which was quite reasonable considering the portion size. The inside of the restaurant was cozy with a family-friendly diner feel. The music playing was very entertaining. Each table had a great variety of condiments available, including hot sauces, ketchup, mustard, etc. Overall, J.W. Beverette's Soul Food was a solid choice for experiencing comforting, delicious soul food. If I weren't visiting from California and resided in Alabama, I'd totally be a regular customer at this restaurant. I will be sure to visit here should I travel to Alabama again.
