“I’m told I can do up some delicious shrimp and grits but Commerce Kitchen one ups me every time! Great ambience as well.“

“We were seated at 5:30pm with no wait, atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was clean. Our server was pleasant and timely. We ordered the rosemary chicken and the chicken in dressing. Food was tasty and the prices were very reasonable. After 4 days of dinner disappointments at other restaurants. I would definitely recommend starting here. We were not disappointed.“

“Ward is a great bartender! Very kind and socialized with us, great experience!!!!!“

“We had a great experience at Tupulo Honey on a Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was upscale, and the server was attentive and patient. I got the southern chicken BLT, which I highly recommend. The sandwich was juicy and favorful! I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu, as it was hard to choose since everything looked so good!“

“Good BBQ. I had the Carolina Chopped Pork plate for lunch with baked beans and potato salad. Both sides good. Overall good quality food at moderate cost - most plates in the $13-15 range. Sweet tea is Bama sweet. Also had an order of 6 of the cheese biscuits. These are served like mini-muffins and the do have a muffin taste. They are near addictive good but rather expensive at $6.99.
Ordering is done up front and drinks and seating are self served. Food is brought to your table. Our server was very attentive and made sure had what we ordered and we were satisfied with our food. Most seating is for 4 at booths, butcher block tables, or raised tables and stools. Overall atmosphere is upscale fast-food/casual, not at all like the restaurant I had visited few years ago in Fultondale. There is adequate parking but lot may be full at peak hours. By the end of our meal at 12:15, people had started parking on the road on East side of building.“

“The smothered Potato with Chicken, the Ribs, and the pulled pork! The portions you can eat for 2 days. The best BBQ we've had! Worth the trip!“

“Was not very happy about my chicken salad sandwich. Both bread and chicken salad were very dry. Very hard to eat with out having to take a drink with every bite. Flavor was OK. Might try it again, but will look at chicken salad before ordering to see how dry it is.“

“The food is very delicious! Flavored good and very tender. Big John's BBQ is hands down the best in customer service. The staff is nice as well. when they 1st opened one item was missing. The owner brought the item to my home! He didn't have to do that but he did. Big John BBQ is the best!“

“They are usually closed on Mondays for deliveries and reset. But when we pulled up they opened the doors and let us eat. Friendly, warm, and true honest Southern hospitality, and this all before we've even eaten.“

“Great food. Great people.“

“That best think of grandma. Be ready to take off for the day because you going to sleep that how good the food will make you feel.“

“We were in town to visit the WW2 veterans museum which is wonderful. We picked the brain of local vet and he suggested Rolo’s. We were not disappointed. The food was great! It was hot and tasty and service was top notch. Only complaint was it was busy and not enough tables. This is because they’re so popular and the place was packed. It’s a good sign when it’s packed and the food and service is still good. I’d definitely recommend.“

“Officially the best breakfast spot in Huntsville“

“I really enjoyed Sac's on homecoming weekend! Great music and atmosphere.“

“We moved out of the Monrovia area years ago, but when we still lived here, and our kids were growing up, Lawlers was a staple for our family. Easy to pick up for a busy weeknight. Today I was driving past and it was dinner time so I decided to swing by and pick up the old brown bag special like the good old days. Lawler did not disappoint. My barbecue sandwich was delicious. The customer service is still top-notch. I highly recommend Lawler and especially the Jeff Road location.“

“I visit the Winchester Road location on occasion and kindest, professional and good mannered young lady by the name of Summer is always the one who’s in the window. It’s very difficult to get good service anywhere you go now and this lil lady stands out. I look forward to seeing her there and know I’ll get great service. Thanks!“
