Kacie DreilingJuly 14, 2017So much FUN! Worth the wait, and the line moves quickly. Definitely come hungry. Pulled pork sandwich was delicious. And the apple butter on rolls: heavenly. Fried okra was my favorite pass around.

Joe KapraszewskiSeptember 14, 2014One of the best places to eat ever. All the mid-southern food you want, waitstaff dressed in 100 year old style clothes. Delicious food and throwed rolls! Bring cash and your appetite!![Evan[Bu]](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/1718914-0E4PXEUXZ2KFIAR4.jpg "Evan[Bu]")
Evan[Bu]December 9, 2012Never ever leave hungry! Try the meatloaf with cottage cheese, whole kernel corn, and potato salad! And whatever you do, don't make an ass out of yourself, catch that roll!
Everything here is good! I got the catfish, my husband got the chicken, and my sister got the largest salad that I’ve seen served to a single person in my life. Passarounds are good too.
Caroline FlournoyFebruary 18, 2019The fried orca is AMAZING but beware of trying to “go safe” with a salad because it’s HUGE same with the coffee
Natasha HaleJune 25, 2012So much food! So much fun! Fun staff! Tired a little of everything coming around loved the Mac and tomatoes. I can't believe how good everything tasted. Def going to make it a stop next time.
Felicia RobertsApril 7, 2014The food was amazing and the staff and service was even better!! Absolutely loved the rolls, and potatoes with onions! So glad we stopped there to eat!
Brandie CreswellJune 16, 2012Good ole down home country food and atmosphere! Think Cracker Barrel on redneck steroids! Flying hot rolls, gallons of sweet tea and endless southern sides=wear elastic pants! GET THE APPLE BUTTER YUM
Ed EubanksDecember 29, 2015They offer "pass-arounds" that are free, along with rolls. Consider splitting the generous portions and taking advantage of the great free rolls and sides.- Jazmine BrownAugust 25, 2019Love the atmosphere, food is amazing. Such a unique restaurant with free sides & throwing rolls. Hot beef sandwich is yummy 😋
- Jackie HiltonNovember 8, 2014The food and service was great! We came on a bus of 25 people, they seated us right away and we were in and out in no time. The service was great!!!
Sarah McCarthySeptember 5, 2016They just keep feeding you. If you leave hungry it's your own fault. Chicken and dumplings were good but light on the chicken. Okra was amazing.
Erin DouglasJuly 18, 2015Come here with a hearty appetite and the ability to catch flying dinner rolls!! From the large containers for drinks to the pass around sides, you shouldn't leave with a hunger for food.
Tim WaterhouseMarch 31, 2019I stop every time I pass near here. They also fixed the back lot so Big rig rvs can park really easy.
- Sherron GannMarch 13, 2019Good food and friendly people. To settle the conflict on peacan or pecan. It’s pronounced Pecon. Lol
Michelle BuiceApril 20, 2019I’m vegan and there were a lot of vegetable options. The hot rolls were delicious.
Irene LiuOctober 8, 2011the chicken tenders are good, the fried chicken is not. the rolls are pretty good! it's worth the stop if you're passing this way. you gotta try it at least once!
Troy MoolJanuary 1, 2015Some of the best southern food and atmosphere you will ever have. The high flying sorghum rolls are absolutely amazing.
Scott DavidsonMay 19, 2014Awesome place! I had the roast beef, yum, so good! Try the fried potatoes or "fried swag". Be sure to catch a roll!
Ceddrick LovinsOctober 6, 2013I LOVE this place! Its always hilarious when they throw the rolls and the catcher gets hit in the face or head! Try the pork steak.
Anytime I'm in town I try to go to Lambert's at least once. It's a great experience with great food.
Jim SelfJanuary 23, 2015Everything, you can get full on the free pass around sides before you even order your meal
Alexandre MunhozAugust 7, 2022Is it fun? Yes. Is it worth 1:30h waiting? Hell, no. Apart from the hot buns that are really special, everything else is pretty std quality.
Blair WoodsenAugust 11, 2013So much food with the pass alongs. Better off sharing a plate, so worth it. Definitely taking 3 to go containers.
Karl WarrenDecember 4, 2014Good Hot food, all you can eat pass-arounds, and of course those Throwed rolls
JonathanJune 4, 2013Bring your appetite! The okra and fried potato pass alongs and roast beef were my favorites.
Albany CraigApril 30, 2012Will driving through the Midwest, you gotta stop by Lambert's for some wholesome cooking and a little fun catching your hot rolls!
Precious SJuly 12, 2013If you like navy beans, get them! Too much food for us! Rolls were excellent! Ice tea pricey at $2.89!
Best food for the money! You can never go home hungry!
Andy AndersJune 26, 2014If you're on a diet you're gonna bust it all the hell. I love this place. Its awesome
Ariel FloydJune 21, 2012Interesting experience but the flying rolls are both delicious and entertaining for kids! Bringing your fat pants and be prepared to wait
Justin BohannonJuly 24, 2010If you're going to eat at Lambert's Cafe, get there at 11am. If you go early when they open, you won't wait in line, and it'll be much more enjoyable after not having been outside in the heat. Read more
Ross SmithDecember 15, 2011Good food but kinda exaggerated price. You end up paying for the "free" sides in the end with your bill. Great place great food- Amy LattaOctober 6, 2011The passed around sides are delicious! We had the potatoes and onions; black eyed peas, and macaroni and tomatoes.
Jack DavisJanuary 1, 2011You don't have to catch the rolls...wait until they roll the cart by your table and they'll hand them to you...Unless you like catching huge buttery rolls.
Rheannon WhiteJuly 24, 2018I feel as if Lambert's is suffering from a lack of quality control. Meatloaf had zero flavor, same can be said for other things tried. Service was OK, pass arounds came when we were nearly finished.
Patricia Randolph-SimpsonNovember 4, 2013ask for a lot of napkins, the molasses will be rolling down to your elbow
