Lambert's Restaurant and Country Fried Potatoes

On our way down to Destin, we decided to take a detour through Foley, AL and eat at Lambert's for old time's sake. When the kids were small, they loved going there and catching the rolls the waiters lop through the air from across the restaurant. We always came away stuffed on good Southern fare. On the way out, there was always a game of sidewalk checkers, and Dad had to take a photo or two (or three, or...) with all the different memorabilia that is in abundance both inside and outside this eating establishment.

It had been years since we’d eaten at Lambert's, and fortunately, we found nothing had changed! We ate our fill of meat loaf, fried chicken, ham and beans, and a wide variety of sides, including mash potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, turnip greens, slaw, black-eyed peas, fried okra, country fried potatoes, etc.!! The Lambert's waiters go from table to table with metal mixing bowls filled with side dishes they have dubbed “Pass Arounds”. One can literally eat until he is miserable at this place!
If you've never been to Lambert's, or if it's just been awhile, be sure to stop by on your next visit to the Gulf Coast. There are two locations in Missouri, as well. This is a fun place, serving hearty, Southern comfort food - a great combination!

By the way, we found that teenagers enjoy catching throwed rolls as much as toddler do!
