“Whole Hog Express back open for business. Excellent smoked half chicken with white sauce. The owner delivered to the hospital where we work. They are ready for catering and fundraisers. Check out their daily menuTheir Winging it Wednesday is a must every week.“

“I did indeed go back and tried the ribs this time. Killer good!! They are somewhat reminiscent of the ribs at the world famous Rendezvous in Memphis with a dry rub style, but better! They don't even need sauce, although their sauce is very good too. Solid potato salad also. No, I'm not related to Mr Mitchell and he's not asking me to give good reviews - I'm just happy to tell the world when I find outstanding food. My only regret is that I don't live here and can't eat it more often.“

“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!“

“Over the years my family and I have been eating at Henleys BarBque and every time we have dinner together the food has always been delicious and the service has been amazing and the ambiance has been amazing! I highly recommend it! It's also very close to home!“

“This is the ABSOLUTE BEST! I have been eating the BBQ and Hot dogs from here since the day they opened in 1971. And even though I don't live here anymore, this is the FIRST stop I make every time I come to town every 2 or 3 months. I have several friends that also eat there now as well because I have shared the food with them. As long as this place is open for business I will be coming to the shoals every 2 or 3 months to get my hot dog and BBQ fix. AWSOME, AMAZING...THANK YOU!“

“We had a lovely lunch. The service was great, and the food was as good as it always has been. I grew up with LawLers in Athens, and it's so much fun seeing the expansion and seeing that each location is maintaining the traditional quality standards.Parking: Plenty of parking spots conveniently angled for the flow of traffic.“

“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.“

“You can actually pick between two restaurants that share the building for your food choices. The food is very good. They have a large area that is set up as a typical sports bar. Tv's, corn hole, shuffle board, and a golf net are a few things available to do.“

“Service and food were GREAT!Logan gave us fantastic service, remembered to put no ice in my drink- all three times he brought me one! He also made sure to check in and make sure everything was well.Fantastic service, definitely had a phenomenal change since the last time I ate here in 2022!“

“South's Best BBQ is really a great place. It is one of the few in the area that serves chopped BBQ instead of pulled pork. Unfortunately, they cook pork butt, not the whole hog I love from my native North Carolina.I take my mother-in-law to the beauty shop every Tuesday. It is routine that we go to South's Beat and get her a BBQ sandwich every week. Even at 92 years old, she knows good BBQ.“

“I like the grilled hot wings. (with the ghost pepper sauce) They make watching college ? better. The bbq is juicy and flavorful and they have good sauces. (Again, get the hot!) My kids like the chicken tenders and they really like the mac n cheese. I live very close to this location so it's too easy. With the Smokin Jalapeño in the same building...We go there a lot.“

“Just went through the drive through here, and the customer service was top tier! 2 minutes before they closed, they were still willing and eager to serve me. Everyone seemed happier than normal for a fast food place, and they were very respectful and kind. I really enjoyed the service and food!“
