“Ate here last night, service was good to great, food was par to the area, a lot of similar looking places in north Alabama. But one thing did happen the I wanted comment on. I ordered my half rack “Dry, sauce on the side” a very common term used in restaurants, to order wings or ribs. Some people, don’t like their finger/face messy with BBQ sauce. My ribs came literally dried out, extra char, boarder line burnt. That would be “well done”, which I have never in all my 20+ years in the industry heard anyone order ribs well done. I didn’t dawn the on me until I got into bed that either the server or cook didn’t know the term “Dry”. We didn’t complain but I did comment when asked how the food was. I am writing this as a learning moment, and will be back again to get a proper rack. Kinda made me chuckle, when I figured out what happened. I hope I haven’t offended anyone, it’s really just a learning moment.”

“Was here visiting the area for a wedding. Was recommended this restaurant while at Fancy Nails for pedicures. Asked a patron about soul food restaurants in the area. He gave us the name of Garden Gate. I googled the name and was given the address. Went there and all fell into place. The food was excellent. Whenever I this area, will be sure to visit again. Price are reasonable and the food delicious. Thank you for your outstanding service. Linda Veasley, Visiting from Saginaw, MI.”

“This was my dad's and my first time visiting a Lawler's BBQ location. We ran thru the drive thru after a day of gathering supplies, so can't comment on the interior of the place, but what we could see looked tidy. The menu was traditional bbq fair, at what seemed like reasonable prices. The young gentleman at the window was kind and professional, surprising for his age since most younger people can't even peep out a hello, let alone look directly at you. Wish we had gotten his name. He was kind and engaging and that was extremely appreciated. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, half slab ribs and a banana pudding. Only took about 5 minutes to get our food, so pretty fast.
There was barely any sauce on the sandwich and dad said it was okay. The ribs had a horrible sauce on them, but after wiping it off the ribs themselves weren't bad at all. As difficult as they were to pry apart, they were more tender than I thought they would be. Dad said the pudding was just okay, nothing special.
All that said, I would be willing to try dining in and see what their other items are like. I was mostly impressed with the young man's service, and the prices seem decent enough in this day and age. Since we don't eat out often because of prices, quality and service, that says alot.
Overall, not a bad experience, but nothing to rave about yet, except for the service. Thank you young man!”
