Carlisle’s Restaurant

Had their. Buffalo wings; excellent and fresh. They have a buffet for only $ 10.50 but I recommend you get there by 7:30 as it is popular. Waitresses were very friendly. Locally owned and owner onsite.

The long post will let you know what kind of review this is. It was my very first time at this restaurant. The fare wasn’t anything that I hadn’t already had before but a coworker recommended the type of food: southern buffet. In a group of four, I think I was the only one that didn’t have negative things to say but that’s because I prefer not to say unkind things when I didn’t have a single positive thing to say about an experience. But if you are looking for the lowdown: coworker #1 waited for her food the entire 50 min we were there and they ended up getting only one thing correct, her drink; coworker #2 also waited for 50 min for her food but was smart to get salad bar as an add-​on so she had something to nibble on; and coworker #3 described the visit with inattentive staff, poor salad bar with not enough variety and expensive, and she paid 29 cents for a glass of water that wasn’t even in a to-​go cup. I like the space of the restaurant but I think more can be done with it. The store at the front seemed like an interesting quirk. I think they can use a visit from Chef Robert of Restaurant Impossible. I think I will make another visit in the future so they can have a chance to redeem themselves. Maybe it was a bad day, and maybe my next review will be better.

Great Southern traditional food. Great service by the servers. One of my favorite spots to eat. Convenient when passing through Scottsboro and Northeast Alabama.
