I've eaten at this restaurant many times and the food was decent.. Monday I took my daughter and granddaughter ..It was awful (only speaking of the food we chose).. The fried chicken was soggy nothing crispy about it, I was told it had been out for a while and more was coming 45 to 50 mins later.. Some of it was cold. The waitress advised mgr of my dissatisfaction and was told no refund ok, but you would think if a customer spends $49.00 and change (not including tip) ..you would think management would have at least come to apologize and advise they could not give a refund, but offer at least one comp meal..Please keep in mind I never asked for a refund the waitress notice the dissatisfaction and food on our plates ..(she took the Initiative to ask on my behalf) She gave the best service she could.. So since I knew they did not care I made sure we wasted what we should have been able to eat and no more.. I couldn't walkout and just give them that kinda money with no satisfaction, knowing what was paid and still hungry.. So just before we left this Mgr had the nerve to stand and watch me and my daughter.. never once cared about our dissatisfaction...

Anybody that has chicken & dumplings on tap is the finest of establishments! Southern comfort food is what they do and they do a fine job at that!

Attentive staff, hot and delicious food. The service provided here is the definition of southern hospitality. Wide selection so everyone can find something to eat. If I am ever coming through Mobile again I will definitely be stopping in.

Probably the worst food especially for the price. Every single thing was extremely cold. Most disappointing experience. And this was me giving them a second chance

If you like bland, cold, nursing home this is the place for you. Wife and I went for lunch. Frwsh veggies were mushy, fried okra was overcooked, meats were cold, lettuce was turning brown, I can go on and on. Will not be going back!

My bride and I ate there earlier this evening,3-28-2024 @ 6:00pm. The food on the meat line ie: chicken, fish and other items were cold. Steam was coming from the table but the food was cold. They closed at 7:00 pm and at 6:45 they completely filled all the chicken and fish containers. Reckon it’s gonna get warmed up for tomorrow’s lunch crowd.Don’t think we’ll be going back there to spend $35.00 for cold food when there are better restaurants in the Mobile area, such as Neighbors, Time To Eat and Good Time Dinner.We tried their food and found it very unappetizing.
OMG!!!!! Oh My Goodness! First time here. The food was amazing. And hot. All of it was so fresh! The prices were good, the staff was so friendly. Oh by the way...... The absolute best restaurant chili I've ever had. It was like a warm hug in a bowl ?. We're definitely coming back!

If I didn't live so far away I would eat at Nelson's barnyard every dayParking: They open at 11:00 a.m. I suggest you get there early but if not you can park next door it's surely worth it
