Visit A Restaurant Where They Throw Rolls To Your Table At Lambert’s In Foley, Alabama!

Inside: Local mom visits Lambert’s Cafe-home of the throwed rolls in Foley, Alabama!

I was not prepared for the fun our family would have at Lambert’s Cafe in Foley, Alabama. We recently took a summer beach trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and added Lambert’s Cafe to our itinerary. Foley is only about thirty minutes outside of Gulf Shores, for reference, so we took a short trip to the cafe for lunch during our trip. This cafe was brought to my attention by a family friend, and it exceeded all of my expectations.

What To Expect at Lambert’s

Upon entering the building, you will notice all of the paraphernalia displayed on the walls. You’ll find an assortment of tag plates, photographs, flags, and more. The aesthetic is country-pride meets the nostalgia of your Grandmother’s house. It is quirky (which I love) and inviting. As you are led to your long wooden booth, you will order your drinks, which come out in extra-large mugs. These mugs are available for purchase at the gift shop if you love them as much as I do.

At all times, there are waiters and waitresses walking around with large pans of fresh-out-of-the-oven rolls. All you have to do is raise your hand, and they will throw a roll to you wherever you are in the restaurant. This was so fun for the adults and children alike. We had a ball catching the tasty rolls and slathering them in butter.

While you’re gnawing on your fourth roll, you can look over their large menu and pick out your meal. No matter what you select from their large menu, everyone gets to enjoy the “Pass Arounds,” which are the sides that you’ll see the wait-staff carrying around in big pots.

When they pass your table, you can stop them to get a taste of the yummy sides. The “Pass Arounds” include Sorghum Molasses, Apple Butter, Macaroni & Tomatoes, Fried Onions & Potatoes, Blackeyed Peas, and Fried Okra. You can also select other sides to go with your main entree.

Our table ordered the meatloaf, chicken tenders, and a few other entrees off the menu, and everything was so delicious! It was the epitome of Southern comfort food, which I love as a Southern girl. I am a sucker for a fun dinner experience, and this might be my favorite place yet! Lambert’s Cafe is a must-try if you’re visiting Foley or Gulf Shores, Alabama!
