If you adore chicken livers, as we do, look no further! Their appetizer livers are THE MOST TINDER you'll ever have. Large plate portion!!
Vegetable choices for veggie plate are plentiful and delicious. Chicken-fried steak is awesome! Pass on the meatloaf, just not that great!
Service is hit or miss depending on time of day

This place is one of my favorites! My husband and I can get dinner meals with 2 sides for under $15, normally we get meals that are $12.99. The food is fantastic, and we leave stuffed. It's almost cheaper than fast food and 100x better

I'm always excited to share my wife's and myself experience at a restaurant. Here is a restaurant that is comfortable, relaxing, and pleasing. My wife's and myself meals were satisfying and within budget. However, it should be mentioned that my wife and myself are not local customers which should be mentioned.

I had dinner here last night and the food and service is as great as I remember. It's been a few years since I last ate here but I need to come by more often. The service and food was outstanding and the free corn bread they bring out is addicting.

I ordered the chicken Parmesan with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was some of the best I've had in Dothan so make sure to give it a taste.

We had a server named Bella that was one of the best servers I have ever had. There were three of us dining for lunch. My husband was one of the diners. He teases the servers and tells silly jokes to make them feel at ease with him. It’s just his funny personality. Bella let us interact with her and then she mirrored his energy. It was very good customer service. We all laughed as she played a silly trick on him(my sister-in-law and I were in on it). We had a great lunch. Thank you so much for the experience

I’m here in Dothan traveling for a week. I stopped by the facility to eat. The food was garbage. I had hamburger steak, which was overcooked, turnips that tasted straight out of a can and rutabagas. They were ok. The cornbread you could throw through a brick wall. The tea still had grains. I ordered sweet but it wasn’t all so sweet neither was my young waitress. She was so rude. While taking my order she stood as far away from the table as possible. I could barely hear her speak to me. She served everyone around me and never asked if I need a refill or was I ok. Very young to be racist. I waisted $17 on food today. I left the food on the table and not one TIP!!The cashier at the door was generous. I will NEVER eat here again while traveling . Seems like of color people are not WELCOMED!!!

Food is just mediocre. Have placed pick up orders twice and both times it took a minute to get the order (PREORDERED). And the staff member was unapologetic for the wait and not friendly at all. I went last time as a favor to someone else. I wouldn’t dine there myself again.

Southern Country cooking. Great sweet tea. They have a good variety and lunch specials. It’s kinda hidden on the end by Publix on 84. Have good parking if you’re traveling in an RV. Can park in front of Publix and walk there. It’s really busy during lunch. Prices a decent. Great local restaurant. I always have left overs that I take to go. I love their corn bread. And sometimes get the vegetable plate. Well lit with lots of windows with tables or booths.
They have a drive through at this location.

Food tasted good, but our soup was not hot, granted we didn't have to worry about burning our tongue. It might help if the soup bowls were warmed before putting the soup in it. Pecan pie was warmer than the soup. Service was okay but we had to ask for everything. We will go back to see if this is the norm or not.

The Blue Plate (located off 84W/Main Street) has prompt and friendly service. The meals remind me of good old fashion home cooked meals. I always enjoyed their vegetable plate selections. Just don’t forget to check their schedule. They are closed but usually the other one is open.

I have eaten at this place once or twice a year since it opened several years back. Always good food at a fair price. And a decent helping as well. It was packed when I came in, so I had to wait about five or six minutes, but met some people I knew, and passed that chatting with them. They were also from out of town like me, but enjoy eating at this place. Not quite home-cooked, but very close. Definitely worth trying!

The food was delicious. Our server (Hailey L?) was sweet, funny, and just the right amount of attentive. Prices were reasonable and portions were decent.

If there was anything negative about the experience, I suppose it would be centered around parking (or lack thereof). Not much to be done about that, so we'll skip it.

Worth the extra few steps.
