This food is true southern cooking. Every dish is exactly like you would expect it to be at your grandma's table - accurate, generous, and delicious. The fact that they will fry fresh fish on demand every single day without an upcharge is unmatched by any meat and three, anywhere. There is never a wait. Every single person who works there is friendly. I can have a full lunch, with leftovers(!), for $10 plus tip. Sarris has apparently been around for many, many years, but I only recently discovered it. I'm so glad I did.

Quiet little place in Birmingham, it is a meat and three. The food is good. My wife had the turkey and dressing, butter beans and Mac and cheese. The beans are cooked with bacon fat and the Mac n cheese is cooked with a lot of love. The dressing was a little salty for her but it was good. I had hamburger steak, fried Okra mashed potatoes with gravy. It was all good. The rolls oh my goodness the rolls, the rolls are amazing. Definitely will be back. With a drink I was $15.75 a person.

My job had me staying in the area for several weeks. We first visited this place on a chance finding on Google Maps. We were impressed with the quality and portion sizes of the food, so we visited several more times. Every time it has been good! The atmosphere is outdated, but I don't mind that when the food is good. Service was always great, friendly, and quick. Special mention to Heather, she's a peach!

Kinda just your average, run-of-the-mill meat and three, only more expensive than some that are better.

Came in to try lunch and asked the lady behind the counter what their meals consisted of (asked her if meat and 2 or meat and 3). She said, "It's whatever you want," like conversing with me was burdensome. Could've alleviated some of the tense repartee if there was any website or online menu for this restaurant whatsoever. I would've known what I wanted before coming in, as with other restaurants, if that were the case- but it isn't.

So I pick up a piece of some of the most delicious cheesecake ever (the only reason it was a 3 stars and not 2), and I ask her for the stuffed bell pepper, mac n cheese, green beans and okra.

By the time I get to the okra, she's already filled up my entire to go box with the meat and other two veggies (veggie and starch, anyway). So last minute, she says, "the okra's $5 extra." Um.... Ok? That's why I asked if it was meat and 2 or meat and 3 in the first place. If I'd known, I would've gotten the okra and green beans and foregone the bland mac n cheese, but I really wanted okra so I said whatever. I got the cornbread for my bread selection and it was buttery but also completely bland. Not sweet or savory or spicy or anything. Just buttery.

All in all, the stuffed pepper and green beans were so-so. The okra was pretty decent. Mac n cheese and cornbread were super lackluster. And the cheesecake was superb.

But for $25 for a cafeteria style lunch in a bad neighborhood and I didn't even get served cause it was to go? Nah. Once is enough. Maybe the one in Pelham is better, but this one ain't it.

The weirdest part was when I was leaving, the older guy who checked me out was super awkward. I gave him my card, he ran it, gave it back to me, and a receipt came out. But he didn't give it to me (either to sign or to keep). He just stood there oddly glaring at me while I waited for my receipt with like 4 other customers waiting impatiently behind me.

Finally, I was like, "Um....do I need to sign something, ooooor....?" He asked me if it was a credit card and I told him it was a debit card, to which he replied, "You don't need to sign anything; I trust you." Ooook, well maybe I still wanted my receipt which is why I stood there waiting. It was just a super unnerving interaction.

Everything is good. I particularly like the baked chicken and the turkey & dressing. Very good desserts too. Service is always good too.

Consistently good food at a reasonable price.

Went for breakfast and it's no wonder why it's a ghost town in there because it is ridiculously expensive. 7 dollars for 1 egg is the dumbest thing have ever heard of.
