Posey's Restaurant - Hazel Green, Alabama

William Nessola

We've lived in Meridianville for a while but never swung by Posey' before - we decided to change that today!

A lot of reviews refer to this place as having a buffet, but that isn't technically correct - they have a food bar but limit you to one plate/visit. It is very clear on the menu and my wife confirmed this with a server. Everywhere we looked there seemed to be people doing multiple trips so that was kind of weird. It was very hot inside - not sure if the AC was on the fritz or they were just catering to the older crowd but everyone in my party commented on it.

Wife and kids got the food bar and I ordered a club sandwich off the menu. They serve Pepsi products here.

My wife was pretty happy that they had turkey, fried chicken and ham available plus a lot of the usual southern food sides available (rolls, corn, green beans, cornbread, stuffing, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes etc). They want everyone visiting the food bar to wear gloves while serving food which is weird but I'm fine with that.

There was one server for our entire side of the restaurant and I feel like she did a good job and was hustling- she served food poured drinks and bussed tables.

The food... the food was below average. Just going to be honest here. The fried chicken had a very good breading that was pretty salty. The rest of the food was extremely bland and lacked flavor. All of the negative reviews for this restaurant usually point this out. They have a very loyal crowd of regulars it seems, but the food was bland. The mashed potatoes was bland and was the consistency of powdered potatoes. Idahoan instant mashed potatoes beat these easily. Mac n cheese was ho-hum, turkey was bland, etc. The corn bread is the unsweetened variety that is super dry. Honestly the only good thing we had was the fried chicken.

My club was OK. They had a lot of meat in it, but the meat was hot which was unexpected. It looked good and had bacon which was nice, just tasted plain to me.

I will probably come back and give it another shot someday, but honestly it feels like mostly institutional food in a hot restaurant with odd rules.

Has got to be the best place when you can find it where they're having chicken pork chops fish whatever the case may be everything is good here hands down.

First timer a friend and I went in to get to buffets to go everyone was so nice and guess what? They have gloves for the customers to wear while getting their food from the buffet, I loved it because really how do you know if the person in front of you really washed their hands well a big ? for y'all I will be coming there more often and the food was great ? thank you for your cleanliness. I simply loved it.

Disappointed, chicken was salty, peach cobbler was under done, Mac & cheese needed some of the salt that was in the chicken. All of it had promise. Since the remodel, it's missing something. Service was great though. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't Poseys

This place needs its own traffic light out front. It needs it to make sure everyone can get in and out safely, it’s so packed. We walked up an hour and a half before they closed, wondering why they closed so early. We had driven from New Market. We walked in and saw how small the buffet was. As we sat down we wondered how it was gonna be. We got our plates, sat down, and took our first bite. You know how your eyes roll back from how good the food is? That’s what happened here. We loved every bite. Though this wasn’t a huge buffet it made a huge impact. They can close at the time they do. I would understand the staff beating people from the door at closing time. I see why it’s so packed, they still do need their own street light because I believe people are fighting to get there on time. Due to the food being so darn good. Slap yourself good. We got 2 plates, a coffee which was also delicious, and 2 drinks that came out to $31.50. It was worth every penny! The staff was friendly, even though it was busy we didn’t wait for a thing. This was our first visit, it won’t be our last. I told everyone how good it was! Completely worth the drive, the price, service, and taste!

Great meat and veggies place. This is what country cooking is all about. What grandma made after church. I love going here seeing all the people. This family people run and work are the nicest in the world. I can't wait to go back for more fried chicken pudding and salad. Parking is limited and you better get there by 5 pm or get ready to wait. They have a menu to order from too not just the buffet. See you all there.

Very disappointed that they don’t allow to-go plates on Sunday-dumbest thing I ever heard of ‍♀️. My husband & I just left after waiting 30 minutes for them to open. Why turn customers away At least put a sign out front to let people know this rule!!
