Food Hammer's Food Reviews: Logan's Roadhouse, Fultondale Alabama

So my mother was in town for a couple days and we decided we wanted some ribs. We have a few places around the area that boast 'the best BBQ', but I haven't been much impressed with either the taste or the price. I did remember Logan's does some pretty good BBQ though.

So we went to Logan's for a nice dinner. Got there a around 7 pm or so. We got a seat pretty quickly even though they were rather busy. I stepped to the restroom and my wife placed the drink orders. At some point there was a bit of confusion and a couple of the drinks got mixed up, but there again, as I said, busy night, and we had a party of 5, including two children so that really didn't concern me. The server gladly fixed the problems at no extra charge for the specialty drink.

We placed our orders. Logan's had a special (which I'm sad to announce went off special today...it was REALLY GREAT!!), "The Works" BBQ Platter. Ribs. Pulled Pork. And grilled chicken to boot, plus 2 sides of your choosing. All for a modest price of $21.99. I was questioning the portion sizes as to if it would really be enough. So we ordered this and the plan was to split it between myself, my mother and my son. When we got it, I was very impressed. It definitely fed the three of us, and then some! The ribs were awesome. Falling off the bone tender and the taste was great. Nice flavor in the sauce. The pulled pork almost melted in my mouth, and again a wonderful flavor to experience! The grilled chicken, it was very tender, moist, and you could almost cut it with just a bit of pressure from the fork. Just the way I like it and a good smoked flavor to boot. We ordered Onion Peels and the Cinnamon Apples for the sides which were very good as well, even for me not being a fan of onions I ate a few.

My wife ordered the Old Fashioned Cheeseburger hold the onions and pickles. I distinctly remember her saying to hold the onions and pickles. Unfortunately when our food came out, both were on there. She removed them and doctored her burger and ate it though, with no complaints on the burger.

All in all, with drinks and food for 3 adults, 2 people, the total came to around $44.00. I was very impressed with the food the atmosphere and the value!

So if you want a place where you can go, enjoy some music, some great peanuts and free rolls, an enjoyable "country style" atmosphere, and some very good food without having to break the bank, may I suggest the Logan's Roadhouse in Fultondale. Evidently they have constantly changing specials so you're bound to have something new and enjoyable every visit.

I give Logan's 4 out of 5 Hammers. Good job guys!

Stay tuned, you never know where Hammer will pop up next.
Thank you drive though.
