Ketchem's Restaurant, Catering and Venue

Ketchem's catered for my daughter's wedding on Oct 5th. The food was so delicious, 4 days later family and friends are still talking about how good the food was! The staff, you guys, are so amazing.

Great place to eat. They get your food to you really fast but sometimes the food is not as hot as you would want, just sometimes. They also add sugar to some of their vegetables, like the turnip greens, which ruines them for me. It might be just me, and I assume most people must like them candied or they wouldn't make them that way.

Disclaimer…I know (and love) the owners of Ketchem’s in Hartford. That said…

This is my favorite restaurant in the whole wiregrass when I’m visiting the area. I had the NY Strip Pittsburgh-Style with hand cut fries and a huge garden salad with blue cheese. Jason (owner) sat with me for a long overdue conversation. My steak was Wagu beef and grilled to perfection. Tender, juicy and HUGE! My server was sweet-southern and spot on.

I remain so proud of Jason and Cheri for the successful Venue they created. Their Dad Frank would be so proud. Their delicious southern cuisine and hospitality will knock you over. THANK YOU JASON!

A really nice place to eat. Everyone's meal from Hamburger to pork chop to steak was excellent. Best fried pork chops I've had in years.

The majority of the food was delicious. Twice baked potatoes was good but not my husband's favorite. Regular ribeyes was really good. Enjoyed the Brussel sprouts. Great fried pickles. Salads were great as well. Jessica was a great, attentive server.

Located right downtown, in Hartford, this charming family restaurant was a pleasure to dine at for lunch. Both myself, and my fiancé found the country cooking to be excellent. The restaurant is family friendly, clean, with a nice small-town decor. We go to Alabama, often, and will surely visit again. The prices and amount of awesome country cooking, makes this a great stop on our road trips. Two lunch specials, with dessert and tea was only around $13 each, and we left full.

We happened to be rolling through Hartford, Alabama and since it was close to lunchtime decided to give it a try. Wow! The ambience was perfect in this converted historical building. Our server, Meghan was attentive, quick and gave great suggestions. The food was perfect. I had the chicken tenders, a baked potato, turnip greens, hush puppies and pecan cobbler. Everything was perfect right down to the fact that they also served actual butter with the meal not buttery spread. The cooks obviously takes a lot of pride in the food they prepare. It's rare to have every element of a meal so good, usually something falls a little short but not here - perfection! We highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back when we are in the area.

THIS is a special place on many levels. The food, most certainly, is exceptionally excellent!! But it’s a venue that has launched many marriages as well. It also does a superb job of catering to large crowds with a varied menu of wonderful food and a highly skilled, friendly, efficient, and approachable staff. I cannot complement Ketchem’s highly enough. I have personally eaten at the restaurant, attended events at the venue, and benefited from their catering operation. Ketchem’s invariably is a high quality operation.

We love Ketchem’s Restaurant!! ❤️ They never disappoint, food is always delicious and serve is wonderful!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is always good, but you can't beat the days the vegetable list includes home cut fries, butterbeans (which rival my Mama's when she was in her prime), and the best restaurant-cooked fried okra anywhere (not the generic pre-breaded stuff from a bag). And the sweet tea formula is always correct.
