“Wonderful food with large portions. Our drinks were never empty and wait time was short. Staff was very friendly and had a great family friendly atmosphere. Our new favorite place to eat!”

“I wasn't sure what to expect, but this place is excellent. It's great for us Leighton residents, but if you're passing by on the highway, it's worth the 2 mile drive to stop in and pick up some food. We had the catfish and it's as good as any you'll find in fancy restaurants and the serving size is huge. The owners are very friendly and the food is excellent.”

“Best restaurant in Decatur. Delicious BBQ and great choice of sides. I highly recommend Scruggs to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I visited this place to get some pumpkins for my birthday (10/13), and it turned out to be more than just a pumpkin patch—it was a full Fall adventure! There were bouncy toys, photo ops, a basketball area, hay maze, tractor rides, a snack stand, a safari walk, and a petting zoo. I loved it! It’s super cute and perfect for families.”

“We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid little spot for country cooking.

The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better.

Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread.

Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable.

As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges.

Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.”

“It’s different enough for this area to be interesting but not so different that it tastes too foreign. I have had similar food in foreign countries like this but really did not like it. I was excited to try this, but I was a little worried. I’m not sure what they do because it’s authentic food but something tells me they keep their local customers in mind. It’s what I wanted this type of food to taste like every time I’ve tried it in the past. The food here is actually as good as it looks. In the past, I may have been intrigued, but disappointed after eating it. The similar food in other areas of the world just taste bland. But this was absolutely delicious! You can tell the owners are excited about the food and concerned about their customers enjoying it.”

“Excellent and locally and family-owned restaurant! Great food and friendly staff.”

“Good people and good food”

“Great food”

“We had the tender snack plate (Nashville hot) with bacon ranch cheesy fries with chicken and also the 3pc wing (lemon pepper) with buffalo cheesy fries with chicken. It was all amazing down to the house made ranch so we brought home a jar of the Special Chicken Stew. I love the food here!”

“The best pulled pork in the Shoals by far, and incredibly friendly service. Pricing is very reasonable as well.”

“Huntsville Location.. Yes I recommend this restaurant but there’s a But. We visited the Huntsville location last night at 5PM. We waited 15 minutes to get drinks. Then another 15 minutes to get a drink that was forgotten and finally place our food order. Our appetizer came out cold around 6 PM. They quickly remade it and had really good flavor. Our pizza was piping hot with good flavor but it was around 6:20. Yes it was busy and thankfully we weren’t in a hurry. But To have returning Customers, do not let customers wait for close to 1.5 hours for food and not have their drinks refilled. A few staff members were working very hard together and a lot of staff members lacked any sense of urgency or willingness to help their fellow employees out. Management was lacking last night.”

“Always great service and great food and drinks”

“I ordered the sweet turkey and Swiss box and was amazed! Sandwich was loaded with cheese and meat and tasted delicious. The strawberry pretzel salad was wonderful and the sweet tea I ordered was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was good and everyone was friendly! Go try it!”

“Latasha is a great server! She was very polite and delivered our food to us in a timely manner. She kept our drinks filled and made sure we enjoyed our food which we did! The club sandwhich and the French dip one were very tasty. Also, I would suggest to bring back the mozzarella sticks. They were super good!”

“The owners and staff are just amazing. They always make you feel like family. Thank you again for a wonderful evening”
