Born and raised in SIkeston, where Lambert's began. Used to be a tiny hole in the wall diner that "Old Man" Lambert ran with his wife and kids, later moved to the old War Drum building in the late 60s, remodeled a couple of times. Best country cooking after your grandma's, they feed you before you order, feed you while you order, feed you during your meal, If you leave Lambert's hungry it's your own fault. The BEST.

Little fun fact you may not know. A couple years ago a customer sued Lamberts for hitting him in the eye, said it caused some damage of which I can't recall. I'm assuming it was thrown out like a hot roll at Lamberts, you can't make this stuff up. I think I'll sue next time if mine hits the floor! This is a cash only place too so be prepared.

My wife went there in 2012. Said it was on her bucket list to go again. We went there last week since we were at our nephew's wedding. She made the place out to be a great experience. Unfortunately, this time around it wasn't. It seemed to me like a Cracker Barrel on steroids when we went in. It was hot, noisy and extremely crowded. Employees kept bumping into us because the aisles were so dang narrow with very small tables at the end where they sat us. My mother and sister in law wanted to share a large meal and where told there was a $10 a plate sharing charge!! The food was all right I guess, but my wife had fried fish that was mummified in batter and mealy when she chewed it. She didn't eat it. The rolls were very good. Don't plan to ever go back, though.

@vafunseekers 4 ай бұрын

That is so disappointing. Especially, when it's a bucket list place and then the experience is not good. We went to the location in Missouri years ago. So this was also a sort of bucket list place for us too. We wanted to take Carly to one because we knew she would get a kick out of the "thrown" rolls. It was crowded when we went and we had to wait, but it was a good experience. I can understand you not going back after your experience. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Been to Sikeston location many times over past 30 years during trips. Alway great until 3 years ago when 3 to 4 hours after eating there I developed the worst case of diahrea ever. Badly made it to a Wal-Mart toilet. Had not eaten for 5 hours before Lambert's so the only cause of it had to be Lambert's. Thought it was just a one off incident until last week while passing through on vacation with family. Ate there about 5 pm then around 9:30 it hit hard again. Once again just made it to Wal-Mart toilet and to get chewable Pepto. So clearly it was the food this time pulled pork sandwich! Also found the rolls to be to crusty. Lambert's is now off my dining list until I die.

Lambert's in Foley Alabama was okay, but seeing that most of the servers were black, they really should ditch the bowties, suspenders and button-up shirts. The uniforms look a little like the outfit a certain character from The Little Rascals wore (and you know the character that I'm referring and if you don't, Google "Our Gang" and "The Little Rascals"). I don't do political correctness but this sort of thing not only makes the South look bad, but makes patriots looked bigoted. Just saying...
