“I would recommend the food but the customer service from one of the workers serving the food could be better, a dark skin heavy set older woman, older then me anyway…. I walked out today because I can’t stand terrible customer service. I own my business and would fire any worker who treated my customers poorly family or not. She literally had the lady in front of me scared to ask questions about her own food. I couldn’t deal with the attitude and walked out. The lady asked nicely how much for an extra piece of meat and when we heard the price we were shocked so we made a lil face. She was like it is what it is. OF COURSE it is but your attitude is not where it’s at. These folks got some good A** food don’t get me wrong I was so ready my mouth was watering but that whole thing threw me off. Do better and if you don’t like your job quit. I understand you are only one person. But it was only 2 of us in there ordering. No reason your lip should have been poked out as long as the Nile River. Have a great day“

“In all the times I've been going to Thorton's for the past 2, maybe 3 years , I have no complaints about the food. I always order a slab of their ribs for my family or when I have a craving for them. Reminds me of our ribs back home, especially when they just season it and don't add anything else on it. It does come with the sauce, but we like them just the way they are. I would either have my husband or grandsons cook rice on our rice cooker before I get home with the ribs because that's how we enjoy eating them. Lately, I've been ordering just a half slab because now the family is either not there to enjoy it with us, or they just don't want any. But guess what? On the times I've ordered half slab of ribs, they want to eat ribs. I told them if there's any left. This is my opinion of how I love😋 their ribs, and I'm sticking to it.😊 The young, I think her name is Jackie (hope I got her bame right), who takes my order knows me when I call to place my order. She is awesome. She is very courteous, professional, sweet, and always has a smile for her customers both on the phone or in person. Thank you, Thornton's BBQ, on Seale Road for great food and customer service.“

“Had dinner here with a group of 5 while we were in town for a conference. Had to wait to be seated, no problem. Place started slowly clearing once we were seated. Our sweet waitress was new. However, it took us a solid 45 minutes to even get our drinks, and food was a little longer than that. The food was great though. But we got our food after 9, so we didn’t really get the time to enjoy it. Go, but don’t go in any rush.“

“I know some people complain about the BBQ, but I'm there for the chicken tenders. My favorite in town again since Butterfingers closed and service is always phenomenal. Restaurant is older so they can't really help that everything seems to be a little dingy, but I had to dock a couple of stars on atmosphere for that, although my kiddo still loves the bus.“

“We ate here today for the first time on our Journey back home….. which we live 3hrs away! When we walked in this place made us feel like home. Customer service was extremely welcoming and everyone seemed passionate about their job. The food here was soooooooooooooo good!!! ???? We have decided that when we are in the area again this will be Our Place to visit over and over again!! If you haven’t ever been please don’t second guess yourself!!!! Pass all the other restaurants, Go ahead find a parking spot. Go inside and have you some good Country Food. I promise you….. you won’t regret it!“

“The DJ was great. The bartenders were pleasant the majority of the time we were there. My only question is what happened to last call? Why sell someone drinks up until the end of the night then immediately tell them to leave. Then when that person is understandably upset you start yelling at her and her friend (me) and start literally pushing them to the exit. 1st off- a legitimate last call would have prevented the whole situation. Secondly, I was getting her to just throw the full drinks she just paid for and tipped on out and leave, there was no reason to yell or put your hands on her. Perhaps that’s the reason why it wasn’t crowded on a Friday night. I had a good time overall, but certainly won’t be in a hurry to return.“

“If you are looking for a great scrambled dog in Phenix City, look no further! Huge portions and a fair price!“

“Light on staff tonight because of inclement weather. The ones there went out of their way to provide great service. My food was great. We knew it was going to take a little longer than usual but we didn’t care. We had a great experience. Would definitely dine here again.“
