Blue Plate Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The prices are…read moresurprisingly 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!

The staff is friendly and provided great service. The prices were amazing, for the amount of food and quality. You go up to the front to order "cafeteria" style. I chose the option of a meat, 2 sides, & dessert for $11. For $3 more you can get the buffet option. I selected the fried chicken, chicken & rice, and turnip greens with banana pudding for my dessert. The meals also came with a slice of corn bread. Everything was warm, fresh, and delicious! I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Not so dire about GF tho. When you walk in you are greeted by the hostess. And the poster that shows the dish here that made it in to the "100 must try dishes in Alabama".

I loved the coffee menu, and tried the dark elephant. Dark mocha with peanut butter--- yes pls. And adult Reese's cup in a mug! I also ordered the soup and sando combo, which sounds kinda plain... until you see the soups and sandwiches to choose from.

Overall it was a great dining experience and that was much needed after just receiving life changing news. So to Gabby, thank you. You were a bright light on a dark day. We will be back.

Now, it's run down and not good at all. I ordered gumbo and it was filled with tiny crab claws, I fished out about 10 before giving up and not eating any more. The lettuce on Ceasar salad was old. We also ordered the chicken fettuccine and it came with frozen processed chicken, we knew the chicken wasn't grilled, it was chicken pieces from frozen packaging. The worst part is I got violently sick the moment we got home, and the next morning, my partner was also sick. I highly do NOT recommend this restaurant.
