We visited Walton's with a group that included three adults, a one-year-old, and a three-year-old. Since we had kids with us, we ordered from the special menu, which was supposed to be quicker and easier. I ordered the roasted chicken leg quarter, and that was honestly the only thing that tasted good. Unfortunately, everything else we tried was really disappointing. The turnip greens were extremely sweet and tasted canned, and the pinto beans were especially off -- they had a sour, almost mildewy flavor, like they'd been mixed with an older batch. I couldn't eat them at all. The hush puppies were very greasy, and even the tea order was mixed up. I ordered half-and-half tea, but on the second serving I was given sweet tea and had to ask again for unsweet. This might be an okay place if you're feeding a large group and not too picky, but overall the food just wasn't good, and it didn't feel fresh. I really think the kitchen needs to review quality and freshness. Personally, I'd rather eat at home than come back. I'm definitely willing to try it again but the food has got to be more fresh if it's southern home cooking. read more

This is one of our favorites! Great food! Love the full rack of ribs!!! My wife and I each order the full rack and have enough left over for two more meals.... Price is about $25 each with a soda. The hamburgers are delicious and affordably priced. Great service. Not fancy but a great place!!! read more

Have been visiting Wilson Lake every year for nearly 20 years and I look forward to the great southern food at Waltons as much as fishing. Catfish plate, pork and the Ronnie Boy special are my favorites. The service is great and the staff, including the owner, is always attentive in this cozy place. Would eat here everyday if I could. read more

Off the beaten path restaurant on 101 (going toward Town Creek), but worth a stop if you're in that area. Staff is super friendly, it packs up quickly with locals, and there's a good chance your server will call you "hon" or "sweets." I have absolutely no problem with this. You'll get hushpuppies to start (gratis), and they're good. I got catfish, better half got barbecue, and everything was well prepared and amply seasoned. They also do meat and three plates if that's your thing--basically, a ton of options on the menu at all times. They had some pies that looked delightful, but we were stuffed to the gills. Practical notes: plenty of parking, there's a service charge if you use a credit card, be warned that they fill up during prime time, there's a TV with football on during the season. read more

Always come here when I'm in NorthWest Alabama! Their fried catfish is amazing and they have smoked BBQ catfish I've never found anywhere else. A slice of home! read more

My dad's family is from the Lexington area and this is always on our places to eat when we're home visiting. Their fried catfish is my favorite. The staff is always so friendly. The dining room is very large so we never had to worry about seating. Love Walton's! read more

Waltons Restaurant - Fried cat fish, collard greens, and fried okra - Southern Near Me - Rogersville, Alabama

Honestly one of the greatest restaurants down in Florence. We drove 30+ minutes out for it. We got seats immediately after entering and were waited on in no time. Everyone who works there has a smile on their face and is willing to accommodate you however they can. After ordering, we got some of the best husbpuppies I've ever had. Not a lot of people do them right, but they did 100%. I finished my food in 10 minutes because it was so good. It's such a nice restaurant to be in, too. Overall a great place I highly recommend to anyone that stops by. read more

Delicious steaks and fish dinners and more to choose from. Best ice tea in town. Mouthwatering hush puppies that will keep you begging for more read more

Service was good food was excellent I would recommend this restaurant to anyone great atmosphere inside

This is local family county restaurant. It's very cozy and nice inside. They have best catfish is north alabama. My wife likes the whole catfish while I like catfish fillets. The price very reasonable and it is best. I have had the catfish and half rack bqq ribs. The ribs are very good and cooked in smoker. I heard from co- worker that that awesome steaks are also good and a lot cheaper than in Florence, al. They also have big tea glasses that I love . Great food can't go wrong coming here. read more

Eat lunch today and roach crawled on tableau wall all the cracks in logs are full of roaches done me in

Highly recommend! We had catfish and a ribeye and they were both delicious! Excellent service too!

The food was excellent. My husband enjoyed the fried catfish while I chose the smoked catfish fillet. Both options were very good and the hush puppies were excellent. We waited what seemed to be an excessively long time for our food, while others around us had been served. Our server did not offer drink refills and was just not very attentive. Even when we politely asked for a refill we did not get it. Maybe she was just having an off night. We will be back but honestly the service could be a factor in our choice. read more

Until they fix this, I have no other words for them right now. People are quitting because they don't get paid a live-able wage. The food is okay but nothing to write home about. They also had people packed in like sardines during a pandemic. read more

Incredible smoked and fried catfish! One of us had steak and ribs it was wonderful to, and we also had pecan pie to die for. But highly recommend this place very family friendly also extremely reasonably priced. read more

Good service and food was okay. The wait was Super long to get our food but it seems they are having staffing issues. read more

My husband and I ate here for lunch, maybe 10 customers there. Didn't take long for the food to arrive. We ordered hamburger's, both of them were soggy, not because of grease but because they cooked it then covered it in Worcestershire sauce. It had soaked the bun on both sides making it mush. This was also a frozen patty not fresh. I also had to ask twice for an extra condiment, the waitress told me she forgot. Another waitress asked if we wanted to put the same hamburger on a different bun... no thanks. We won't be back. read more

We've been stopping by the Waltons restaurant for many years and it's not far from the Wheeler Dam and it's between Town Creek Elgin Crossroads and Rogersville off of Alabama Highway 101! Every time we've stopped there we always have an excellent meal! Excellent service! And excellent ambiance! I highly recommend it! read more

Sometime slower than usual. Mostly calling and it's ready have had missing condiments but over all it's good.

Great restaurant! Their lunch specials always hit the spot. Burgers are great as are the Cajun chicken tenders. The hush puppies are great, but ask for the jalapeno hush puppies instead. They'll change your life! Be sure to use the provided white sauce on em! read more

Cheapest steak I've ever had that was cooked perfectly. Went in hungry and was met with baskets of golden fried hush puppies. Not mixed with my favorite ingredients, but cooked perfectly. Got a 12 ounce ribeye with baked potato and slaw for 15 something bucks. Best mustard slaw I've had in north Alabama. It was hot mustard slaw, and a tad bit spicy. Steak ordered rare, cooked to my liking, seasoned just enough, Smokey and tender. Super friendly staff. read more

This has always been my family's favorite place to eat fish. We always use to celebrate my grandmother's birthday there. Plenty of room, and great food. read more

The food and service tonight was horrible to put it nicely. Charging $10.95 for a sandwich served on a hot dog bun, a steak that had more fat than meat and chicken finger the size of my pinky finger. Waitress stopped by once while waiting over an hour for our food. The girl at the register was worse than the waitress with a major I don't want to be here attitude. read more

My husband and I went to book an airbnb down in adamsville, Walton's was like 2 min from our site and so glad we stopped here. The steak sandwich was 100/10 so good and everyone is so nice :) read more

Came here thinking the food would be great but it wasn't, it was just okay, what me and wife call filler food. The waitresses were friendly but you had to flag them down if you wanted anything. And I say waitresses because we had three different ones wait on us. The restaurant was nice but the restrooms were dirty and smelled bad. read more

Spending the weekend in a cabin at Joe Wheeler state park. Decided to try some one of the local restaurants. Hit the jackpot with Walton's restaurant. After grabbing a seat we were welcomed with a big basket of some of the best hush puppies I've had in a long time. The waitress was very friendly as well as attentive during our entire meal. I ordered the smoked 'blackened' Cajun catfish, mayo slaw and tots. The first bite of my fish was an absolute flavor explosion. This was the best catfish I have ever had, and at 6'2" 230lbs. The serving size had me stuffed half way through it. Highly recommend if you are in the area looking for some excellent southern food. read more

Good shrimp, both fried and grilled. Baked beans were very good, as were the sweet potato fries. They advertise that they have "the best hushpuppy's in the south". They are the best regular hushpuppy's we have had. Good service and a serviceable salid bar. read more

Nowhere near "the best hushpuppies in the South", they were mediocre at best. Also saw a roach crawl by our table. Would like to give this place the benefit of the doubt but can't get past those two things. Also turned out to be super busy with an hour long wait time, they were also out of pie. Employees were nice but seemed overworked and the "no one wants to work anymore" sign rubbed me the wrong way. read more

it was really good i got the lemon pepper catfish although it tasted like bbq bc they cook it on the bbq grill. it's not very expensive and overall a good place to eat. read more

Nice hometown eatery. Staff was friendly and food was good. Menu had a variety of items to our surprise .

Stopped in after a day of catfishing at Wheeler dam. Very friendly staff and ample seating. The menu had a variety of options including fresh catfish. The food was good. They provide baskets full of hush puppies as an appetizer for every table I would recommend this restaurant and would eat here again read more

We had a family event at this location. The staff of Walton's was professional and courteous. The fish and chicken was on point and the hush puppies were top notch. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and service. read more

Placed a to-go order for myself and three others. One ordered a cheese burger which the meat and cheese was left off. I mean really. The containers were not marked so thats always nice to sift around in others people food box to ID the one I purchase. Also, 30min for a burger is not unusual here. The food is decent, hush puppies are great when fresh, but there are quite a few areas that needs improving read more

Wife and I went here about a week ago. The atmosphere was very home feeling and the food was good. Pricing was on point I think. Seems like it's always busy but service was very fast. Parking was plentiful and easily accessible. The customer service was excellent. They offer Togo as well. I knocked 1 star because of the cheap forks and knife that wouldn't cut my steak. We will be back though many more times. read more

on this saturday the 101 yard sale was today and we decided to eat at the waltons. and we got there at 12:47 and left at 2:30. it took us 2 hours to get our food (family of 7) they asked us for refills and checked up on us twice in 2 hours. that is bullshit. a sorry exuse for a restaurant, don't stop here if your hungry. this sorry exuse for a restaurant cost us all of are yard sale time. people were packing up when we got out of there. me and my father were watching a nascar race, and by the time we got there it was the ending of stage one, and by the time we left it was over. i am never coming back here.and i don't advise any of u coming here. read more

The food as pretty good. The hushpuppies and white sauce were great. My girlfriend ordered the chicken sandwich though and it had two of the smallest pieces of chicken I've ever seen. When I asked the waitress for more chicken, she actually laughed at me and then came back and basically tossed two more small pieces on a plate. Her, and every other waitress for that matter, were rude and need to take a class on how to smile and communicate with customers...I'd go back for take out, but I'll never deal with that atrocious service again. read more

If you love southern fried catfish and all the fixins', you need to go to Waltons Restaraunt. I have lived in the south all my life and had catfish at lots of different places. It will be hard to find any better than here. It has a small town, cafe style environment. Folks are friendly. It is clean and cozy. read more

I've had the catfish fillet plate before, the catfish,fries and hush puppies were delicious so I highly recommend eating at Walton's.

Good food - nice folks. I got the vegetable plate. I forgot how good purple hull peas are. I avoid ordering cornbread and okra where I live- I always end up disappointed. They know how to do it right here. 3.5 stars read more

This was my first but definitely not my last visit to Walton's. I found the atmosphere, service, and food exceptional!! Our waitress was friendly funny and on top of her game! I ordered smoked chicken while others ordered fried fish and hamburger steak. Everyone was more than pleased with thier food. I found the hush puppies they brought to our table while we waited on food to be delicious. Our table gives this place a thumbs up!!! read more
