Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If Trip Advisor would allow, I probably could go up to a 3 1/2 rating. We had the ribs, baked beans and kettle chips. The ribs and baked beans were not hot when served and the ribs were a little dry. The kettle chips were...quit good. The sauce was served in a packet that we were unable to open.....had to have the girl at the counter use scissors to open.....and the package was not user friendly. Sauce was somewhat non-descript.....no distinctive flavor.More

We bought two stuffed potatoes with BBQ meat, two slaw dogs and nachos with chicken. Everything was so delicious! Friendly staff and very clean restaurant. I highly recommend this place. (We will be getting our Easter lunch food from here to bake on Easter Sunday).

This down-home country kitchen definitely lives up to the southern barbecue standards. I got a combo plate with pork, ham, green beans, baked beans, and Mac n cheese. The ham was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was absolutely scrumptious and I’m thinking...of going back for a ham sandwich before heading out of Cullman. The beans were delicious and the green beans were surprisingly tasty. Family friendly, kind and welcoming staff.More

The service was fantastic but the food was just o.k. It was good barbecue but it wasn't extra good. The coleslaw was way too sweet. The iced tea was good.

I don’t usually write reviews of restaurants but this meal was so bad, I felt I needed to. I ordered the bbq chicken plate. It had two pieces of processed, waterlogged chicken breast. It had no resemblance to bbq chicken. Alabama is famous for its...bbq and rightfully so. This isn’t it! If you want real bbq chicken, go to Johnny’s or Big Bob Gibson’s any other establishment.More

This "food" is disgusting. For anyone to say that they are a smoked food "connoisseur" and like this garbage....no they don't. I took pics to show you the amount of grease in 1/2 an ounce of this travesty. It tasted bad, like sour and salty....they...claim that they marinate this stuff before they smoke it. No smoke flavor at all, none. It stunk like bad pork. It came with fresh baked rolls and they went to Walmart and bought a bag of "ballpark" buns....the garbage pecan pie is prepackaged Sara Lee. Ugh. The coleslaw? Tastes like something they cleaned out of their mower blades....thank go that the Mac and cheese was Velveeta, at least that resembled a food product, somewhat. I may sound like a crabby lady, but I'll tell you, I only good food, and you won't find anything good here. Run, don't walk away.More

Im originally from Cullman (many years ago) and remember when it was either Johnny’s or Whitts or Perrys. We love bbq stuffed baked potatoes. So on a visit I tried all the different bbq places recommended by friends and family…. moes ( meh) and a...few others and wasn’t impressed. Then we found Lawlers on our own right next to our Hotel and decided what the heck? Oh man!!! We were so glad we did!! The meat was so juicy? It was delicious with no sauce! The potatoes seemed bigger… more freshly prepared and everything about every ingredient just seemed better quality than any other bbq place around there. Kinda embarrassed how many times we went back during our week long stay. The drive thru employee’s were super nice, quick and efficient. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Customer for life if things stay like they are!More

Last week I was on break between shifts and decided to bring Lawler's home for my boyfriend and I. I have used Lawler's online ordering, Pig Up, before, but I was driving, so I called instead. This gem of a lady answered the phone, I...believe her name was Andi but I lost the paper she gave me with her name. I explained that I was calling in an order. She explained that it wasn't necessary at that time of day and went ahead with my order. I was only a few minutes away and when I arrived, we carried on our conversation like we have known each other forever. She told me she has worked for the Compsny for a jaw dropping amount of years. 18? Where is that paper?! In the background, the Manager Miss Ashley was working hard on the cook line. Within moments my food was done and I was on my way home with the best BBQ in Alabama and Tennessee! I chose to focus on these ladies today, because of their phenomenal customer service. In every Lawler's location that I have been into, you always find smiling, hard working employees that treat you just like family. Everyone of them has been way above average in customer service. There is no arguing the the food at Lawler's is always delicious with generous portions and great prices, but their employees are the unsung heroes. Great job ladies! And great job Lawler's for recognizing their outstanding performance. Lawler's, where the employees treat you like family, but the BBQ is better than grandma's. Shhh!More

No disappointment here. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt appreciated. Great customer service from a very savvy employee who was obviously proud to work there. Wow! The pork sandwich lunch bag was our choice. The sandwich actually had “smoked” pork and...was well put together with lettuce and pickles along with their special white sauce. The pork and beans were well seasoned with bits of onion. The restaurant had plenty of seating and a covered outdoor seating area as well. Very clean. Highly recommend.More
