Last weekend I stopped by Walker's Carry Out. I ordered the salad with BBQ pork and ranch dressing to go. The restaurant was crowded for 11:45 lunch on Saturday. My food came out quickly. When I arrived home, the BBQ pork was still warm. The ranch dressing was nice and cold. The cheese on my salad melted into the meat and was delicious. The salad was excellent, made with fresh crispy lettuce. If you like this type of salad, please stop by. It tastes so good! read more

See all

I've had Walker's on my bookmark list for quite a while. It's a little hard to get in as they're only open at the end of the week/weekend. I finally found a good opportunity this week. This spot does barbeque, catfish, and chicken fingers. There's a fairly large parking lot and lots of space inside, as well as a drive-through. The inside is basic but features some country decor (like, redneck country, not cowboy country, lol). You order at the counter. The ladies' bathroom was clean. Service was...nice, I guess, but I couldn't help but feel like I was getting looked at funny when I didn't know the standard protocol for ordering/getting sauce/picking up food, etc. Definitely a "local" vibe. The very loud conversation about the election a large table of patrons was engaged in didn't help. That's not the restaurant's fault, but it still wasn't what I wanted to listen to while I ate. Anyway, I wound up ordering the smaller chicken finger plate since those came highly recommended in reviews. The plate comes with fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. They call your number when your food is ready and you pick it up at the counter. There's a large array of sauce bottles so you can grab your favorites to take to the table. I was a little concerned about the sauces that usually need refrigeration just sitting out on the counter, but the bottles themselves were cold so I guess they figured out some kind of system to keep them chilled. I was...frankly disappointed in the tenders. They had a very strange, slightly cakey breading (rather than crumbly/crispy) that got soggy and soft very quickly. They reminded me of Chili's chicken crispers, which I really don't like. Ranch improved them some but I don't think I finished a single tender. The fries were frozen-fried crinkle cuts and needed a scoch more salt. I skipped the slaw. I enjoyed the hush puppies dipped in ketchup! Very oniony. Overall, nothing super objectionable but just didn't wow me too much. If I return in the future, I'll try some barbeque instead. read more

Walker's Carry Out - 4 tenders, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies - Barbeque Near Me - Union Grove, Alabama

Limited hours make it tough to visit if you are not a local. Mostly fried foods, generic fries, good chicken and decent Brunswick stew if you get the opportunity to visit. Also, if you are health conscious you will be pretty limited with their smoked chicken and bbq. read more

All the food is delicious but my go to smoked wings or catfish fillets. The staff always great you with a smile and friendly service.

Food is amazing! Always great service! Down home ambiance! Have been coming to this business for years upon years! It's a local favorite.

Clean, fresh food, friendly staff members. The selection is outstanding for a small rural restaurant. The deserts are fantastic. A taste of home read more

My son and I played golf at Cherokee Ridge and wanted to grab a bite on the way home. This place popped up on the gps so we figured why not. We are so glad we did, friendly people throughout the restaurant from staff to customers. He got fish n shrimp and I had the catfish. Both meals were phenomenal the breading on the shrimp was not overdone and let you taste the shrimp. Not sure what his fish was but it was flaky and cooked perfectly. I've struggled to find good cornmeal battered catfish but theirs was delicious. You can easily miss this place but if you do turn around you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious strawberry pie. Moist & tender chicken. Only open Thursday-Sunday. Drive thru or dine in available. read more

Good food, fast & friendly service. Fast moving line. Our first time there left a very good impression on us. Definitely will return.

A plus experience with food quality and quantity at the top of journey. Family owned and yummy goodness!

Great people. Great service. Love the catfish and the chicken fingers. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!!!

We had the Chicken livers this past weekend and they were perfect. I don't think I have had any better than those.

Wonderful food and service. The person working the drive through was incredibly pleasant. Will go there multiple times.

Great little place for some barbecue, or fried chicken fingers. Probably the best pulled pork on Brindlee Mountain.

Didn't know they closed at 8. Came in 15 minutes to close and they still waited on us. Had our dinner out in 10 mins. Awesome catfish and friendly staff. Great prices too. read more

We just moved back to Alabama and we are all loving coming to Walker's to eat. Every meal we have there is delicious. We love the delicious meals, hush puppies, sweet tea, and white sauce too. And this past time, my husband got our kids dessert, and it was so very good too! We like it all, and plan to come back every weekend, if we can! read more

If they took debit cards and weren't so backed up every single day being opened (which actually is caused by them only taking cash or check) and you actually get food, the food is really good.. but I would rather drive 7 more miles to Hog Leg bbq and get far more quality AND quantity for the same amount of money as far less waiting time! And you can use a debit card at Hog Leg!! read more

Great food, Every time! Open Thursday through Saturday and believe me they stay busy those three days! I live local and all the locals Love Walker's Carry Out! read more

its all good...i make the drive from arab all the time for years they are NO better food in 100 miles

The food and employee's are always great! This is a family owned business, my family has enjoyed this restaurant for years. We love supporting our local community especially when it is always great! read more

the food is excellent and good price it gets to me pretty fast for how busy it was. the bread on the chicken is amazing

Good food and reasonable prices! Best fish and chips with hush puppies! I would recommend Walker's for people looking for a good 'ol country meal! read more

Not very good, stop to try carry out, new to area. It wasn't very good, I ordered a cheeseburger and it was cold!! It was premade, my opinion. Husband got bbq sandwich was ok. 1st and last time for this place. read more

Walker's has the best barbecue in the world. Why am I so confidently saying that? It's the ONLY barbecue that I actually enjoy consuming. The fries and hushpuppies are good too, as are the chicken tenders. Dip it all in White Sauce. You won't regret it! read more

Nice flavor, however the sandwich was so wet, the bun become a pile of mush pretty quickly. I think a BBQ plate would be a much better choice here. The place was clean and the employees were nice enough. read more

I have been a regular customer for several years, before they even added the dining room. Walker's is located in an area known to many as "Midway", since there was a school across the road by the same name, closed long ago. Building still stands I believe. It's about a mile north of the Hwy-231 Cherokee Ridge intersection. My favorite is the 1/2 barbecue chicken plate. These birds are big. The rub is awesome. The smoke is perfect. It comes with slaw and hush puppies. The white sauce is actually quite creamy as opposed to the more common vinegar based. It's excellent, they should bottle the stuff. I've also had the bbq pork plate and sandwich, neither have ever disappointed, but it's been a while so I can't say if the quality has stood the test of time. The old timers love their catfish on Fridays and Saturdays too. One unfortunate observation are the prices, which have risen considerably the past few years. I believe there has also been a change or two in ownership, I haven't seen some of the older fellas at the window in a good long while. Another negative is cash or check only, no plastic. And, they have limited operating hours, so call before you make the drive. They are also known to close for extended periods of time during the holidays. read more

Their chicken is always crispy their onion rings are always perfect and they have the most amazing white sauce!!! If you haven't went then you need to go. And their portions are amazing for people who love to eat read more

Love eating this place. Friendly staff and great food. I love the small BBQ chicken. The chicken fingers are great too with some white sauce. Even when they are busy they get the food out pretty fast. read more

This is a typical, southern-style BBQ joint. They serve catfish, BBQ, ribs, boneless chicken, fish-n-chips, burgers and more. The BBQ is ok, but their boneless chicken is out of this world! It is battered, deep fried chicken breast strips. Usually served with cole slaw, fries and hush puppies, but they have a few other sides to choose from, if those are not to your liking. I am also a big fan of their fish-n-chips. They make their own sauces from scratch. I highly recommend their vinegar white sauce, which is delicious with the boneless chicken. Their tartar sauce is yummy to! I just can't seem to get enough of the white vinegar and tartar sauces. They do a real nice hot fudge cake to! This is a regular haunt of mine. The only drawback is that they are only open Thursday through Saturday, from 11am til 8pm. Also, they do not accept debit cards.. only cash or checks! read more

Great food and fast service. I would go more often but they are cash only and I rarely have cash on hand. That's a bit aggravating and normally not worth a special trip to the bank. read more

Was great at one point in time, but food quality has seemed to decline. At one point in time the bbq potatoes were huge now they're small. The bbq was once shredded and now it seems chopped up really fine with no flavor, the last sandwich I got was soggy. I was a weekly customer but I've completely stopped visiting. read more

We eat here regularly and have found the food to be consistently good. We do however always get carry out. Their barbecue is good as well as there smoked chicken, I have bought both from mike when I entertain and have gotten many compliments on their meats. I also really like their barbecue salads. read more
