It was decent. It definitely wasn't crowded... Went to a different restaurant the same time, the very next day, and we had a 30-minute wait. There was another place, another barbecue place, but this place should have been more crowded. it was good the food was good

Depressing gray interior with worn out chairs and tables. There is exterior rot and damage left from previous restaurant. The chair seats are ripped and worn. There is paint splatter on the cheap lumber dividers, bench seats (no padding), and rickety tables.

It took over 30 minutes to get appetizers and then they dropped main dishes two seconds behind. The menu is basic, lackluster, and does not relate. It is the season for soup but their "seasonal soups" were unavailable. There are no grill items on the menu. I ordered a grilled cheese on texas toast but it came out as an inside out hamburger bun, greasy toasted, and soft cheese in between. Then waitress stated the menu was wrong.

The fried green tomatoes and onion rings were free made and the breading was perfect to except they did not use buttermilk or salt so very bland taste.

Service is so slow and the restaurant has no more than ten customers sitting, mostly elderly. There is a fight between music and tv sports which makes my head ache.

Just another bad restaurant in Pell City, Alabama. I quit trying in this the only decent food is fast food only town.

Bad. Just bad. I was surprised at how bad it was with a 4 star rating, then realized that they are just piggybacking on Golden Rule's reviews.
Our server was nice enough and did her best, but I got the impression that even she was embarrassed to serve us the "food" that came out of that kitchen.

I can honestly say that I've never been more disgusted at handing over my card to pay that kind of bill for such gross food. And I'm not just saying that I personally did like the seasoning or preparation but it was actually depressing. I really don't understand how anyone could send that garbage out and be even remotely proud of it.

My guess is that they are prepping to close the doors. If not, I don't know what they are doing to keep the doors open because this isn't it.

Hey... maybe it was just a bad day?

Our suggestion? Keep driving.

The food was wonderful, the service was something else. We were one of 2 customers there. I have celiac so asked that my plate skip the bread. They brought out the bread sitting on my 2 sides. I asked that it be replaced so I didn’t have a reaction, our waitress acted annoyed. When she came back with my sides the mashed potatoes literally still had the imprint from the toast being smashed on it. So didn’t get to enjoy my sides. Felt at that point if I said anything else something would be done to my food, which is unfortunate. Chic fil a is across the street and takes pride in customer service and a core value of being an honor to serve. Our waitress should take note.

Food bad asked for hot mashed potatoes. The temp wasn’t the problem just bad no flavor. Chicken fingers had some yellow substance on them. Just bad.

Five of us went to lunch here and the waitress was not friendly and didn’t get any of our food order correct. The AC must be on the down because it was warm in there. I got the special of the day, which was fish and shrimp and ordered potato salad and Mac and cheese. She brought me slaw and green beans. I ordered unsweetened tea with a splash of sweet tea and got unsweetened tea only. The ones that ordered sweet said it was very watery, and not much taste.
Once we got our food correct it was good.

10/10 recommend this place! We stopped in for lunch. The bbq was absolutely delicious! All of it was delicious! I had a bbq plate with Mac & cheese and baked beans, my spouse had the bbq spud, and we started off with the fried pickles. GET THE FRIED PICKLES and thank me later - def the best I’ve ever had! They taste REAL (if that even makes sense). Iykyk! The service was immaculate and the atmosphere was very “homey” and comfortable. We will for sure be back!

good service and a nice spot for a restaurant. that's about all i can say nicely. The mac and cheese somehow tasted plain & sour at the same time (my kiddos wouldn't even touch em), the wings were kinda slimy (maybe should've asked for double fried), the fries looked/felt like they were left in a fryer, and the pulled pork was like stopping up North at a gas station...

They have super nice staff tho.
