4 Best American Restaurants in Marion

“Look no further! Southern/Soul Food perfection! Good Prices. We are here visiting our son who is here for school. A self proclaimed foodie I was very excited to try the food in Alabama for the first time. We stayed first in Birmingham and tried some places that were highly recommended and featured on some shows. They were good but for me did not live up to the hype. We checked into our hotel and headed towards the court house square in town. We checked out the sites, learned about the history of Marion, and shopped a bit so we worked up an appetite. We stopped into Lottie's and immediately received a warm welcome. We came for lunch. They had a lot of people ordering take out. As guests we were treated as if we were more like friends or family. As for the food.....again perfection. I ordered the Chicken plate. It came with two sides of your choice and toast. The Chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Seriously the best fried Chicken I've ever had. For sides I ordered the Mac and Cheese, fried okra, and added the green beans. The Mac and Cheese was rich & flavorful. The fried okra was crispy, flavorful and moist but not slimy. The greens beans were also the best green beans I've ever had. I could eat a whole bowl of it .....it was so tasty. My husband rarely orders seafood at restaurants. He opted for the catfish and shrimp platter and was not disappointed. I tried some of his food as well. The seafood was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. Fried onion rings were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. He enjoyed it very much. We aren't use to meals this large. It was so good we ate everything. I wish I lived closer because I would come in at least once a week even if it meant an hour drive each way. Since we are just passing through I'm planning to come back tomorrow before heading out and for sure will head there every time we are out this way.“

“Stopped by while passing through town. Food was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“Man I saw her food posts and told her next time I'm in town I'm coming and it was worth every mile coming to get it !! Ooooweeee!!“

“Best BBQ sauce I’ve ever tasted in 40 years. I haven’t used Facebook more than twice in about 7 years, so if I like your food enough to redownload the app just to leave a review, you know I mean it… and I gotta say if you can somehow make a plate of loaded fries my favorite thing on the menu at a BBQ restaurant, idk what you’re doing but you’re doing it right!“
