“Tried a Pork BBQ today and it’s the best in town! Highly recommended!“

“Big shout out to you all!! The food is fantastic and I love your drive thru window🙂 keep being awesome!!“

“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.“

“ate here in 2015 Went here with my friend from Decatur his home we lived on the west coast and were visiting his family I went along to experience Alabama and Georgia. we went to tour the studios in muscle shoals . was a great lunch. had a nice small town hole in the wall charm. I would choose over a restaurant that has a bunch of nonsense without hood bbq . life hack only eat at small bbw places. it is always better.

“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“

“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!“

Whether you join the well trained staff for a birthday dinner, incredible local musical talents, or a night out on the town…THEY ARE ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACES! Flobama is perfect if your looking to eat slow smoke fall off the bone ribs, top quality burgers full of bold flavor/variety, or snacking on perfectly crisp fried pickles. Kids friendly during the appropriate hours of before 8:30. The kids love the Elvis impersonation act they book pretty consistently throughout the year. EAT.LISTEN.ENJOY IS A PERFECT LOGO TO DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE at FLOBAMA. Give it a try, I can give you a 100% guarantee you’ll be glad you did.“

“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!“

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

“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.“
