“LawLer’s Barbecue did not disappoint! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and exactly what good barbecue should be.

What really stood out to me, though, was how VERY clean the establishment was. That’s something that can’t be overlooked in my opinion, and LawLer’s clearly takes pride in maintaining a spotless, well-kept space.

Great food, great service, and a clean, comfortable environment. I cleaned my plate before I thought to do pictures for a review.“

“1-15-25 tried out the half bbq chicken plate. The chicken and the sides were great. The side dishes portions were very filling. Definitely 10/10 would recommend. White sauce and bbq sauce delicious chefs kiss ( 👩🏽‍🍳 👌)“

“Staff and all were amazing, had a great time seeing Tim Cannon and The Dirty Power, and those pretzels were awesome. :)“

“In town for a ball tournament and got take out with a variety of dishes. Pulled pork and chicken were both flavorful and still moist, ribs fell off the bone but were a little under seasoned for my liking. Green beans were nothing special, but beans and slaw were tasty. The cobbler stole the show! Don’t skip dessert. Tried a variety of sauces and the 79 and ricks sauce were our faves! Overall, we are from Memphis and are bbq picky and we’d def come again!“

“Huge shoutout to Ali D. I used to work at Rick’s and since then I’ve had several employees question my orders, which I completely understand, but there are times they come off very rude. Ali didn’t question what I was ordering at all, she took my order with a smile, she was very polite, and she ensured my order was fulfilled correctly. Please ensure this gets back to her and her managers because she was the best employee I’ve experienced at this location“

“Cashier wasn't real helpful. Asked for condiments for my to go order which was $84 and after asking 4 times I just left with the sauce. She never acknowledged i even spoke. Not friendly at all. I was at Muscle Shoals store on Wilson Dam Rd. No one was at counter ordering it was just myself and my friend. So I dont care to have her take my order again. They weren't busy. But she was texting or doing something on her cell phone which was more urgent than doing her paying duties at her job“

“Went back tonight an my food was amazing had ribeye baked potato an salad great job yall“

“6 friends in on a Monday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. Our server Tonia was excellent. She made us feel welcome and very comfortable . . . like she would do anything to provide us great service. She took our orders quickly, but not hurried. Our food (drinks, bread, appetizers, and entrees/sides) was brought out in timely intervals. Tonia got all 6 orders exactly correct . . . no mix-ups, no omissions, etc. The food items, (salmon, shrimp, chicken, steak salad, salmon salad) were very good and ample portions.
No negatives here; all positives, especially Tonia, our server!“

“I have ALWAYS loved Logans, tonight I decided to get takeout because I just didn’t feel like sitting in a restaurant to eat. The To-Go person named Devin was amazing, she made sure I got everything I needed in my bag and was very patient with me. Over the phone I didn’t know what I wanted ( because I don’t have a menu right in-front of me) I kept feeling embarrassed! She reassured me that it was okay that I just take all the time I need. Hands down best to go service I have EVER received.“
