“Oh my yumminess! First time getting anything from here and I most definitely will gladly go out of my way to come back. I got the Ruben which was one of the specials and the pecan pie bread pudding. Absolutely phenomenal, drool worthy and did not disappoint.”
“Great place to dine in. Both the food and service were beyond expectations, just note that it is extremely crowded on weekends (especially graduation weekend and football).”
“Everything is certainly homemade from the pot of beans to vegetables and a variety of meat, desserts and breads. It us buffet style! Loved the catfish, red potatoes and coconut cake!!! My friend loved the pork, potatoes & gravy and wholemade ice cream!!”
“The magic of dinner in a revolving restaurant, so romantic! Our waiter, Daniel, was attentive and professional. The restaurant provided a little sample of their salmon for us to try shortly after arriving, and it was excellent. Our meal was delicious, creative and enjoyable. The wedge salad, and short ribs entree was abundant and allowed us to share. Overall, very nice experience that we will repeat again.”
“Pretty great food and decent service.The queso is one of the best I've had, with a nice touch of spice and just the right consistency. The lunch special burrito with spicy chicken is very filling but perhaps a bit too cheesy. Very simple but yummy. The pork tamale was pretty good; the meat was very flavorful but the sauce didn't have much impact. Previously, I've also tried and loved their chicken taco salads. They're one of the few restaurants I've seen to put refried beans on it and the ingredients always taste fresh and delicious together!The only thing I haven't liked from here would be the veggie quesadilla. It was bland and more soggy than I'd like. As far as the atmosphere, it's not authentic Mexican (which is to be expected). There's hardly Mexican artists on the playlist and no mole on the menu. But overall, you'll find food you like, decent customer service, and a clean restaurant.”

“My husband tried IPAcalypse (sp?) and couldn't believe how wonderful it is! He's excited to try your other brews as well so we'll be visiting soon!”
“First time here! There are sooo many places to eat in Florence and Sheffield, college students should have no problem finding a place to eat! Well, not just college kids, my wife and I love to come here and make a big deal about where to eat. Thing is, you can't choose wrong! At least we haven't yet!Chicken alfredo was mucho excellent, ? salad fresh and green, bread sticks, hot and cheezy, how can you go wrong? Nuff and..”
“The service was the best I've had in some time. The young lady was always cheerful and on top of keeping our glasses full. Will definitely go there again on my next visit to Alabama. ???”

“The service was exceptional. I was greeted when I entered by multiple people. I made a reservation though it wasn’t really needed. The ambiance is nice; I’m a huge fan of low-lit areas. There was a lot of light from the bar area.I asked my server, Mary, what she recommended for a sweet drink and duly went with the Swingin Sunset. It was fresh, sweet, and mixed well. There wasn’t an incredible amount of ice, either. I was served a bread + (sea salt?) butter bowl, which was incredibly tasty. The muffins seemed like they were made with browned butter and a hint of caramelization. The saltiness of the butter complimented the sweetness of the bread. It makes me want to learn how to make it, haha.I asked for food recommendations; she recommended the cheeseburger + gulf fish piccata. I wanted something different from a fish and burger so she ended up recommending the Crispy Potato Gnocci, which was a great choice. It was incredibly filling. The pork belly was crispy and mixed well with the rest of the ingredients in the dish. There was a nice umami + peppery bite.The price of food + drink is a little high, but it goes with saying that the quality of the items made it worth it. I’m glad they have a seasonal menu to provide variety. If I’m ever in town, I would love to come here for brunch or lunch.”

“Don't you dare go here thinking you want something fancy. Come hungry and ready to eat good bbq at a good price and made by good people. My personal favorite is the bbq half-chicken, but I have had it all and it is all great. The sauce is perfect ( I literally put it on pizza). These days there seems to be a million BBQ joints opening up that sure do try to make it a fancy presentation but they all try to get the flavor from the old school places like Bunyan's and can't seem to figure out how to do it. Anyway, just skip the fancy places and go for something that has a little more heart and lot more flavor in the sauce. Also , ask them to add a hotdog in your order. Trust me, you'll get home and finish eating your BBQ then you'll think to yourself that you should have added that hotdog so you could have later, lol.For folks visiting the area: Instead of going to a place that will cost you almost 20 dollars a plate, go to Bunyan's and get your order to go. Then head down to McFarland Park ( a stones throw away...well if you have a good throwing arm that is) and have lunch on the river at one of the picnic tables. If the weather is nice, it is the makings of a pretty good day if you ask me.”
“Had the place to ourselves. Bartender was super! I got the nachos, and while good, I was disappointed they used potato chips and not much meat. Still a good experience.”
“First time visit. Had to try the famous orange- pineapple ice cream and I gotta say, it lived up to it's hype. Wonderful and very tasty. Also had a scoop of smoky mountain fudge and it was great also. Will definitely be back to try some other flavors as well as a few sandwichesaybe”

“I ordered a loaded potato with chicken. The food was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the value was excellent! There aren't many places left like this. Go now and thank me later.”

“Breakfast and coffee dates here are always fantastic! The black bean breakfast burrito is so yummy and fresh! Addictive and filling. The caramel lover's drink is delicious. The chai isn't as strong as I'd like but the rest of their coffees have a lot of flavor and impact. My friend loves the hot chocolate and peanut butter banana sandwich.Only issue with the cafe is lack of areas to plug in a laptop/phone. Good amount of seating and lighting. Would be a great study spot otherwise.”

“Ordered the Antipasto Salad & the artichoke on it was delicious & overall great salad ?.Also ordered the Italian sub Large. First I will say they make their own bread. And it’s thin so you can enjoy a sub sandwich the way you are supposed to. And they make their own dressing. This sub & salad is the best.I could go on & on but I need to take a nap to fully appreciate this meal. Great Job Chef Pizza ! ??????????”
“Good Chinese food is hard to come by (especially in the South). Mr. Hui's Peacock Express is a hidden gem that won't disappoint!A true family run business, they are always kind and gracious, both when picking up takeout or staying to eat in the dining room.I enjoy the combination Mei Fun, House Special Egg Foo Young, beef with Broccoli and pan fried dumplings... always good!If you are reading this review, just go! You won't regret it! Support local small business!”
“First time here. Breakfast and service were both good. Wanted to try a local place instead of a chain place that I can get anywhere. You won’t be disappointed if you give this place a try!”
“Fresh hot delicious wings & green fried tomatoes was my first time! Nice person took my order didn't wait long during lunch time, reasonable $. I'll be back!”
“I had dinner with girlfriends last night and it was one of the best meals! Started with great service by Jennifer (I think was her name?!). Asked for our names then addresses us each by name all night. Nice touch for service :) She explained the menu and specials and we ordered the pierogi and burger of the month. Both delicious. Atmosphere is so cozy and cocktails, beer and wine were perfect too. They have Sunday brunch too with a Bloody Mary and mimosa bar! Highly recommend checking out this hidden gem in Florence!”
“Great spot for a quick work lunch. Attentive and friendly staff.Caesar salad was cold and creamy - absolutely perfect.Chicken strips were incredibly tender and moist. They were a bit under seasoned by themselves, but that turned out to be a good thing because you will want to drench them in their buffalo ranch and honey mustard. Fries were great and stayed crispy throughout the meal. Wish I got the platter (6 small tenders) vs the basket (4 tenders) because I loved them so much.”
“Awesome healthy menu, cute spot with great vegan and gluten free stuff plus interesting cbd drinks etc. please a better fork though ;)Vegetarian options: VeganDietary restrictions: Vegan and gf”

“Can never go wrong with Wok N Roll!! Tip: call in a to go order 10-15 min and it’s ready, PARK AND GO IN, the drive thru is always slow cause people order and wait. If you call ahead and go in food is always hot and your in and out in less than 5, however park in the post office lot or you won’t hardly be able to get out the parking lot! 10/10 my go to Chinese food when I get that hankering! Hibachi chicken and rice 10/10. Egg rolls 10/10. General Tso 10/10.”
“First time being here. Very fancy. Waiter was cute and nice. Went here with 2 other people (3 in total) and had no wait for seating despite being busy. The back of my menu had a pasta stain thing on it and the towel napkin didn't look that clean. Food was good. Five stars despite the menu and towel thing ?”
“Food is always consistently good. Filet doesn’t need any sauce and their green beans are my favorite. I don’t know what they do to their green beans, but I could go for a double portion of those with my Filet.”
“Excellent service! The food was delicious! White sauce looked like it was made fresh to order, and the sushi was outstanding! Best restaurant in the area by far!!! Don’t even waste you’re time or money at Umi! Thank you thank you!! ?”
“First time here, and it will not be the last! Our chef was funny and fabulous, and the food was amazing. The kids really enjoyed the hibachi shrimp and my crunchy shrimp roll was the best I've ever had.”
“Arriving right at 5 pm (midweek for 2 people) was great timing. Parking was a breeze and the path to get in and to a table was people free. It was definitely worth the rush to try to miss the dinner crowd. Due to the limited number of customers at the time, service was surprisingly quick. As usual, the restaurant was clean and the various staff were polite and patient during the interactions I had/observed.The food was delicious! The chips and salsa arrived with a heap of chips made to be dipped with breaking and a nice bowl of thick, chunky salsa. It was much better than expected. The traditional wings were cooked well and had a nice amount of sauce. The orange chicken flavor is a favorite of mine and a great option for those not looking for something with a lower rating on the heat scale. My husband, a lover of trying different flavors and has no fear of spice/heat, ordered Nashville hot and ranked them as more mild than the orange chicken flavor I ordered. He also had a few with the spicy garlic flavor and liked them.Overall, it's a good place with great food, and friendly staff. We enjoy going occasionally but will try to visit when we can avoid the busiest hours during weekend lunch and any day during the dinner rush. (When leaving around 6, the dinner crowd was beginning to slowly arrive.)Parking: During the dinner rush parking can be a challenge. Driving the lot a couple times or parking behind the building is common during peak hours for dinner most any day and lunch on the weekends as well.Wheelchair accessibility: There are a few handicap parking spots available. Getting into the restaurant and to a table may be a bit of a squeeze if visiting during the busy hours. The entrance to the building stays packed with people waiting for a table. Once through the herd of waiting customers, during those busy hours, the short hallway of sorts might be a little hectic still. Servers are busy rushing like ants to and from the kitchen, taking care of their tables. They handle it well though, flowing easily with the stream of people. After successfully traveling through those potentially busy areas, the pathways to the tables are very wide and easy to maneuver.Recently, my husband and I went for an earlier dinner midweek, arriving right at 5 pm. It was great. Parking was a breeze and the path to get in and to a table was people free. It was definitely worth the rush to try to miss the dinner crowd.”
“Great experience, service and food. Server recommendations were on point. The 4 stars for atmosphere was for the Romper Room madness in the next section. Bad parenting was the real culprit.”
“Appreciated the fact that the staff recognized we were on a date and seated us away from the families with childrenParking: There is additional parking on the side street as well”

Cafe 222
“Very convenient quick and easy place to grab lunch and deserts in downtown Florence where everything is very reasonably priced! Cafe 222 is run by 2 of the most polite people I have ever met that make some of the best homemade entree's, sides, and especially desserts. Every time I go to lunch here, I sometimes can't help myself but to get a brownie as well because of how great they look and taste. It is defiantly a must to try the chicken, squash, and potato casseroles along with going back to try the meatloaf as well.”
“I got the grilled chicken salad with shrimp added and it was really good. The only thing is the meat both chicken and shrimp were slightly over cooked. But, it was still a good salad and I had a bite of meat in every bite of food. It would also help if they diced up everything in the salad. The lettuce was shredded and the rest was all the same size as if it were in a fajita, taco or burrito. Still all in all I can live with that and cut it up myself”
Takeout Restaurants
“The coffee is hands down the best I’ve had in the Shoals area. My wife claimed it to be our new “coffee spot” when we want delicious coffee with a relaxed atmosphere. It’s truly like a vacation. The breakfast was served with the freshest mouth watering ingredients. We will be back over and over again to make sure we try every single item on the menu!”
“Everything is certainly homemade from the pot of beans to vegetables and a variety of meat, desserts and breads. It us buffet style! Loved the catfish, red potatoes and coconut cake!!! My friend loved the pork, potatoes & gravy and wholemade ice cream!!”
“I happened upon this little coffee shop and it was so much more than I anticipated. One of the best cups of coffee I have enjoyed! Service was excellent, Atmosphere was cozy and coffee was delicious! Options for those with gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance! Simply refreshing compared to retail coffee shops!”
“My husband tried IPAcalypse (sp?) and couldn't believe how wonderful it is! He's excited to try your other brews as well so we'll be visiting soon!”

“All they had was their pepperoni pizza but because we just had winter storms that were very bad I had their nine inch pepperoni pizza and it was very good. It's a nice little bar.”
“Just a good old fashioned AMERICAN burger place with awesome milkshakes and the nicest owners!If you are reading this review, just go! Support local small business owners... they are what makes America Great!”

“The food is amazing but the service is even better. All the staff are super kind and fun people. The food is also always super fresh. Love that it’s open so late!”
“I am in town visiting in Florence AL & I wanted a really good quesadilla. My co workers who live here said Taco Mama was a really great place to have some Mexican so I decided to stop by. I was impressed with the margarita flavors they offered and they also had a unique margarita called the Prosecco fizz that was really refreshing. I had a shrimp quesadillas & I also had a blood orange margarita. It was refreshing not too sweet or tart but just the right amount of flavor. The shrimp quesadillas was absolutely huge. It had the perfect amount of shrimp/cheese ratio. My friend had barbacoa tacos and she said the meat was tender and flavorful. I also loved the fact that they had different varieties of Hot sauces including my favorite Cholula. Definitely would go back and have a few margarita on my off day. 10/10”
“Food is great! Service shouldn't be expected to be the fastest, but you know you're always getting it fresh and with a kind smile behind the counter. I personally like the contemporary music too! I'm a spice guy, so I would definitely try the Spicy Harissa Chicken! It's a "fast-ish" food without making me feel super sluggish like from some other places.Vegetarian options: I like to do meatless Mondays as a little help to the environment, and Taziki's has a bunch of options so I don't always have to cook at home those days!”

“We had a good time set outside ate, watched the fish and enjoyed meeting the people at the table next to us.Parking: It is easy to park some parking closer than others but still easy to parkWheelchair accessibility: It has ramps to the restaurant.”
“Food was solid. The wait was a long only because I had a reservation and it was 30 minutes before I was seated. The service was less than stellar for this price point.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Friendliest place in Alabama so far for me!Fire Philly trust me I'm a connoisseur.Plenty of parking drive through area and picnic tables and if you like sweet tea it was on point plus if you eat it there you get a free refill.Vegetarian options: Can get veggiesDietary restrictions: Can remove stuffParking: Lot ofKid-friendliness: Have a field and picknick tables alsoWheelchair accessibility: No inside area”
“Nice location in the downtown (court street) Florence area. They make fresh sandwiches on baked-in-store breads. While they advertise "freaky fast" service, the fresh and tasty sandwiches are worth the wait if you appreciate a good sub sandwich! The "free sniffs" make the short wait even better!Parking: Close to the store parking can be difficult as this location is on the main downtown area of Florence. Street Parking is available a block west of the store (pine street), I've even parked my 31 foot RV back there with a short walk back to the sandwiches!”
“Being the only Culvers location within 40 miles of my mother's residence, and my favorite burger and custard joint, this restaurant is visited frequently! The good is always delicious, and they have the best desserts of any restaurant around! I only wish that the chain would bring back Pepsi products, as I am limited to sweet tea now since I hate coke products. That's the only reason I take away a star.”
“I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, BUT the 'side items' on the menu are not even close to being on the same level as the meat options. The meats are really good, but the sides like baked beans and potato salad is like an afterthought of just quick convenience. Hardly any seasoned taste to sides. They have a "partial" winner, but they apparently dont want to knock it outta the park.”
“Tyler who runs the night shift. DESERVES a pay raise, I tried to tell them but a woman told me that he couldn't till she did. Then she hung very rudley hanged up on me.”
“The staff and system run smoothly at this usually very busy location. Servers are always polite and hard working. One issue is that parking lot is too small but you can always use the mall lot if you're dining ”
“The chips are nice and light. I had a fish taco with a fried shell and one with a plain shell and the plain shell one was much better. They were a little heavy with the slaw sauce, but I just scraped it off. I liked the tacos!”
“Just tried this today through Uber honestly everything was amazing I'd always been skeptical about this place when I had drove by it but honestly worth every penny the food was so good even like packaged sugar cookie was not dry it was really creamy and Rich and honestly the egg salad is the best I've ever had that's some damn good egg salad also the chicken salad is amazing ?”
“The restaurant always feels very clean. The food is really good. My favorite thing to order is the SweetFire Chicken Breast with fried Rice. It has red peppers, onions and pineapples. The sauce is more sweet than hot.”
“This is the best chicken restaurant on the planet on the house! Best chicken great Zax sauce and every thing even your funnel cakes were yummy. Would definitely visit zaxbys for more great food.”
“Love this place... But order was wrong yesterday.. ? great smoked meat tacos and beans.. the pintos are my favorite and the pico BUT it is spicy yet refreshing...”
“Moes, where the hum of Mexican and culture overshadow all your worry’s in life. The quesadilla one of Moe’s exquisite dishes lights a flame of excitement on your tongue. Highly recommend for those wanting to go to flavor town. In addition, the salsa an overflowing pit of love; spewing tomato goodness into every crevice of my crunchy chip.”
“Wonderful breakfast. Homemade, delicious biscuits. Big Jack burgers are very good. A good variety of food selections. Fast, courteous service at reasonable prices. A working fireplace adds warmth and ambience.”
“The lady that took my order was very rude. She was raking the girl that handed the order out the window over the coals. The young girl told her she needed another drink because that cup had a hole in the bottom of it, and the older lady said that she should have sent it out the window anyway.”

“One of my favorite restaurants. The Alabama fries is an absolute must and the steak and mashed potatoes are the best in the shoals. Argue with me and I promise I'll win ? its a must visit place if your in the shoals!Parking: Never had an issue finding parkingKid-friendliness: Our kids love eating here as well and they love the coloring pages they have for them. Eating outside is their favorite watching the water slide below and seeing the firepits!”
“Locally owned, not "chain" restaurant. Very good pizza, crust and wide variety of toppings. Pretzel sticks with cheese dip is great. Good variety of non-pizza offerings. Excellent, friendly service.”
“There are no bad meals at Pop's. Ribs and BBQ are great. Their Smoked bologna sandwich is the best. Catfish Friday is a special treat. Oh and dont miss Melinda's fried ”

“This is probably the best breakfast around. They also have delicious burgers. This place I has been around forever and I have never been disillusioned. Everything they got is great.”
“Flavor on wings were excellent. Side item prices and make it a combo prices could be less.Draft beer price is great!Overall... great experience.Please consider increasing your hours of operation pass 10 pm.”
“Omg! Best and I do mean best mexican food around! Great prices lots of food and terrific flavors. It was my first time there and I asked our waitress what she recommended and she was so sweet and helpful. I hope when we go back...and we will I hope we get her again. We order 1 order of everything on your fajitas you can possibly think of for 2 people and still had enough left over for another meal. $18.99. What!? Oh side note who knew ? was so good? I'm sure everyone else in the world but dang I'm now hooked. To bad I'm only here for 1 more week. But to EVERYONE reading this....GO THERE. you will not be disappointed. Uh unless you actually think taco bell is mexican food! Lmao ?”
“Can't beat this place! Feels like home! Coy and Sonya provide great food, great service, homey atmosphere, at very reasonable prices! If you're lucky, you will experience Coy's heavenly cow patty cookies!!!”
“I came in on a Sunday around 2 and got the Turkey Bacon Avocado. It was phenomenal. Service was very fast and employees greeted us when we walked in. We also tried the Philly Cheesesteak and it was good as well. Steak wasn’t tough or chewy and had great flavor. First time trying Lenny’s and we will definitely be back!”
“I stopped in after leaving the gym and it was a delight being greeted with a smiling and friendly face.They have a variety of tea bombs and shake flavors....anything you can think of really. It's a clean and cute little spot. I was given a punch card so I'll be back!”
“I love to see local people open up shops and doing well. This is locally owned and operated. The owner happened to be working when we stopped in and even made our ice cream. She was a sweetheart and did a great job. Prices were fair and it didn't take long to get our ice cream. Lots of variations available. Plenty of seating and pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.”
“Best coffee place in Alabama! They are friendly and nice everytime and the coffee is AMAZING. Today my husband wanted something new, the boba with coffee, he loved it! Everytime we go they have a smile and are ready to make coffee ?”
“I just had the best calzone since I left south Florida 20 years ago. Can't wait to try their pizza. I'll never go to the big chains again. Just had a small meat lovers pizza. It was so good. Big pizza chains have lost my business. Wish they had 10 stars.”
“I’ve always loved this place but today I just had to write a review.Everyone’s food was great. My wife and I have never had a bad meal there. The service is always good but today it was great.Our Waitress was Katie (hope I spelled it correctly) and she impressed our group of 6. Usually you need to remind a waiter or waitress about something. But not today. The cool part was she never wrote anything down, and got everything right. Even though some in the group asked for odd substitutions for their meals. The other part that made her impressive was that she was attentive but not too much. You know how some waitresses will stay at your table to long or they don’t come by often enough.Thank you Ricatoni’s and Katie for the great food and perfect service.”
“Ordered delivery and it got here 10 minutes faster than it was expected !! Driver was super polite even had treats for my puppers!Pizza was so good!! I use to be a huge fan of Pizza Hut but I have most definitely found a new favorite!! 10/10 would and will be ordering from Marcos again! TRY the jalapeño ranch! So so good!”
“The service was excellant, very friendly. Very homey. Only reason not a 5 star....the okra was hard & overcooked.....rest of my food was good! Blackened chicken breast an spicy fries!”
“Our server was polite and professional. He kept checking on us. Our food was served hot. The restaurant was clean. Will definitely go back!Parking: Easy free parking accessWheelchair accessibility: Yes, easy handicap access”
“We got our wedding cake from Yummies a year ago and it was absolutely delicious. We just did the tradition of eating it a year later, and it was STILL flavorful and tasted good! My husband and I were shocked! They’re the best!”
“My mom took me to Applebee's for my birthday, my choice. Everything was fantastic. We had the best server/waiter. He kept our drinks filled and he was quick on his feet about getting everything out to us. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Will definitely be coming back.”
“We visited for karaoke night and eat supper while there. The entire staff was very friendly and took good care of us. A very nice atmosphere with great decor and the food was very fresh and delicious! Comfortable seats too!”
“Nice little restaurant. Quick and courteous service! I enjoyed a delicious baked ziti for lunch. They didn't skimp on the cheese, making it the perfect lunch for me at a very reasonable price! ?”

On The Rocks
“Karaoke on Friday night during summer is great, but it is set up inside the smoking area, so in the cold months when you can't open the doors, it's not pleasant and you leave smelling like your a pack a day smoker.”
“Joe Simpson was our “waiter” and did an outstanding job again! We look for him and or request him when we come in. He is always checking on us and is very attentive to our drink refills and asks how things are going or if we need something! Makes great recommendations too!! Outstanding employee!!”
“We had lunch portions of the grilled steak salad and grilled chicken/strawberry salad plus sides. Husbands salad was great, meat cooked to his liking. My chicken was cooked but there wasn't much meat and lots of grisel. Rest of the salad was great and sides were good too. Although they didn't have any baked potatoes for lunch. Our server was great. I just know to order the steak salad, more meat and tasted great.”
“Still sitting at the table, my first visit. The food was delicious, fresh, fast and hot!! The service was great! Quiet atmosphere, perfect for nice conversation. Over all great friendly place. I'll be back. Prices were normal for post 2020.”
“Service a lil slow. When you first walk in, if you've never been there, don't quite know whether to seat yourself or order at the counter until someone tells you. Food was good. Get quite a bit for a low price! Would highly recommend.”
“Good beer and a good selection of food choices! Stop in and give it a try. If you order the Mac n' cheese burger, be sure you are able to unhinge your jaw to take a bite, cause it is a biggun! Try the place out, I know I will be going back.”
“Excellent service! The food was delicious! White sauce looked like it was made fresh to order, and the sushi was outstanding! Best restaurant in the area by far!!! Don’t even waste you’re time or money at Umi! Thank you thank you!! ?”

“First time being here. Very fancy. Waiter was cute and nice. Went here with 2 other people (3 in total) and had no wait for seating despite being busy. The back of my menu had a pasta stain thing on it and the towel napkin didn't look that clean. Food was good. Five stars despite the menu and towel thing ?”
“Excellent service, i asked for a milkshake made my own way and they obliged. The lady working the window was very helpful and very friendly. The food was delicious!!”
“Went to this pizza hut first of the month. They screwed up our order gave us regular breadsticks instead of cheese breadsticks. They gave us a credit on them. Fast forward a week and a half later go back down there to pick it up. The number is not in there system so they have no way of looking it up. So Christy who is in charge down thereWithout hesitation says go ahead and give them there order. . Christy is employee of the year. Will always go back to this pizza hut as they know how to treat there customers. Thank you Christy you have forever gained a permanent customer.”
“With prices continuing to rise, this place remains a “special occasion” visit, just because I’m not paying nearly $20 for a buffet unless I’m in Tunica.That being said, the only thing really worth it to me is the steak. It does depend on who is on the grill, but it seems to be the same guy everytime we have gone, and it is never less than great (doesn’t need sauce or anything).Pretty good salad bar for my tastes, a lot of options for everyone, and it’s the best when you don’t really know what you want and can have a bunch of things at your choosing. Yeast rolls are amazing when fresh, but often they’ll be hard as rocks. They just don’t fill anything up really unless it’s absolutely empty, which I wish they’d stay on top of. Overall, it’s a decent place but the steak (and maybe seafood) is the only thing that makes this place “worth” it.Parking: Pretty open with parking, not hard to get in and out.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid friendly options, even for picky eaters.”
“In think it's a good value. The salad bar was fresh and had a fair amount of options. There was a pasta bar with a choice of sauces. A variety of pizzas and if they will make what you want if it's not already out at no extra charge. There is also a desert bar, the brownies exceeded my expectations.Vegetarian options: Pasta w vegetarian marinara sauce, salad, and pizza to your tastes.Kid-friendliness: There is a game section. Kids parties.”
“Food is always consistently good. Filet doesn’t need any sauce and their green beans are my favorite. I don’t know what they do to their green beans, but I could go for a double portion of those with my Filet.”
“Joe Simpson was our “waiter” and did an outstanding job again! We look for him and or request him when we come in. He is always checking on us and is very attentive to our drink refills and asks how things are going or if we need something! Makes great recommendations too!! Outstanding employee!!”
“Sorry to say, but I was not happy this last time I came in. The rice was just plain white rice. It wasn't your seasoned rice, and half of my chicken was done all the way. I will be back to try again. I do like you guys.”
“With my daughter having attended UNA my wife and I have eaten here many times. My daughter recently graduated and we had her celebration lunch here, we had a large group about 12, we seated right away and were served right away. Food and service were excellent and everyone had drinks refills with out asking. A great place for the family.”
“There are no bad meals at Pop's. Ribs and BBQ are great. Their Smoked bologna sandwich is the best. Catfish Friday is a special treat. Oh and dont miss Melinda's fried ”
“Our server was polite and professional. He kept checking on us. Our food was served hot. The restaurant was clean. Will definitely go back!Parking: Easy free parking accessWheelchair accessibility: Yes, easy handicap access”
“Don't you dare go here thinking you want something fancy. Come hungry and ready to eat good bbq at a good price and made by good people. My personal favorite is the bbq half-chicken, but I have had it all and it is all great. The sauce is perfect ( I literally put it on pizza). These days there seems to be a million BBQ joints opening up that sure do try to make it a fancy presentation but they all try to get the flavor from the old school places like Bunyan's and can't seem to figure out how to do it. Anyway, just skip the fancy places and go for something that has a little more heart and lot more flavor in the sauce. Also , ask them to add a hotdog in your order. Trust me, you'll get home and finish eating your BBQ then you'll think to yourself that you should have added that hotdog so you could have later, lol.For folks visiting the area: Instead of going to a place that will cost you almost 20 dollars a plate, go to Bunyan's and get your order to go. Then head down to McFarland Park ( a stones throw away...well if you have a good throwing arm that is) and have lunch on the river at one of the picnic tables. If the weather is nice, it is the makings of a pretty good day if you ask me.”
“Absolutely Amazing!!! We moved here from PA/MD and finally found true NY style pizza. The dough, the sauce, fresh mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage and the cheese sooo yummy! Marlene is so welcoming and treats you like a VIP. Definitely will be back.”
“The food is delicious but there debit machine wasn't working that day so people had to pay with cash . To me that's something you really need to get fixed and keep it fixed everybody don't carry cash . But as far as for the food it was ”
“Yummm!!!! Hard to choose the treat to compliment the Red Cow Latte. We finally settled on heart shape fudge brownies. Beyond delightful! Good price point. Staff friendly and welcoming.”

“Can never go wrong with Wok N Roll!! Tip: call in a to go order 10-15 min and it’s ready, PARK AND GO IN, the drive thru is always slow cause people order and wait. If you call ahead and go in food is always hot and your in and out in less than 5, however park in the post office lot or you won’t hardly be able to get out the parking lot! 10/10 my go to Chinese food when I get that hankering! Hibachi chicken and rice 10/10. Egg rolls 10/10. General Tso 10/10.”
“My burger was soggy and I told them about it and they fixed it other than that I had an awesome experience would recommend!!!Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs”
“I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, BUT the 'side items' on the menu are not even close to being on the same level as the meat options. The meats are really good, but the sides like baked beans and potato salad is like an afterthought of just quick convenience. Hardly any seasoned taste to sides. They have a "partial" winner, but they apparently dont want to knock it outta the park.”
“Friendliest place in Alabama so far for me!Fire Philly trust me I'm a connoisseur.Plenty of parking drive through area and picnic tables and if you like sweet tea it was on point plus if you eat it there you get a free refill.Vegetarian options: Can get veggiesDietary restrictions: Can remove stuffParking: Lot ofKid-friendliness: Have a field and picknick tables alsoWheelchair accessibility: No inside area”
“I came in on a Sunday around 2 and got the Turkey Bacon Avocado. It was phenomenal. Service was very fast and employees greeted us when we walked in. We also tried the Philly Cheesesteak and it was good as well. Steak wasn’t tough or chewy and had great flavor. First time trying Lenny’s and we will definitely be back!”
“Had the place to ourselves. Bartender was super! I got the nachos, and while good, I was disappointed they used potato chips and not much meat. Still a good experience.”
“We ate breakfast here, Wendy and I. Our Waitress Summer was smilingly polite and kept my coffee full. Wendy enjoyed her pancakes, and I enjoyed the hashbrown casserole. Nice breakfast with my beautiful wife.”

“I’ve always loved this place but today I just had to write a review.Everyone’s food was great. My wife and I have never had a bad meal there. The service is always good but today it was great.Our Waitress was Katie (hope I spelled it correctly) and she impressed our group of 6. Usually you need to remind a waiter or waitress about something. But not today. The cool part was she never wrote anything down, and got everything right. Even though some in the group asked for odd substitutions for their meals. The other part that made her impressive was that she was attentive but not too much. You know how some waitresses will stay at your table to long or they don’t come by often enough.Thank you Ricatoni’s and Katie for the great food and perfect service.”
“Great experience, service and food. Server recommendations were on point. The 4 stars for atmosphere was for the Romper Room madness in the next section. Bad parenting was the real culprit.”
“At the one on cloverdale rd. Went to the drive thru. They never sighed or wavered when asked to put some taco meat and cheese only in a side dish. She never asked any questions or didn't say we can't don't thisShe just did it and was polite about doing it. I didn't tell her it was for my little chi. I'm sure she figured it out when we pulled up to the window.? I shall be back...”

“The service was excellant, very friendly. Very homey. Only reason not a 5 star....the okra was hard & overcooked.....rest of my food was good! Blackened chicken breast an spicy fries!”
“The service was exceptional. I was greeted when I entered by multiple people. I made a reservation though it wasn’t really needed. The ambiance is nice; I’m a huge fan of low-lit areas. There was a lot of light from the bar area.I asked my server, Mary, what she recommended for a sweet drink and duly went with the Swingin Sunset. It was fresh, sweet, and mixed well. There wasn’t an incredible amount of ice, either. I was served a bread + (sea salt?) butter bowl, which was incredibly tasty. The muffins seemed like they were made with browned butter and a hint of caramelization. The saltiness of the butter complimented the sweetness of the bread. It makes me want to learn how to make it, haha.I asked for food recommendations; she recommended the cheeseburger + gulf fish piccata. I wanted something different from a fish and burger so she ended up recommending the Crispy Potato Gnocci, which was a great choice. It was incredibly filling. The pork belly was crispy and mixed well with the rest of the ingredients in the dish. There was a nice umami + peppery bite.The price of food + drink is a little high, but it goes with saying that the quality of the items made it worth it. I’m glad they have a seasonal menu to provide variety. If I’m ever in town, I would love to come here for brunch or lunch.”
