Lottie's Restaurant — Restaurant in Marion

Look no further! Southern/Soul Food perfection! Good Prices. We are here visiting our son who is here for school. A self proclaimed foodie I was very excited to try the food in Alabama for the first time. We stayed first in Birmingham and tried some places that were highly recommended and featured on some shows. They were good but for me did not live up to the hype. We checked into our hotel and headed towards the court house square in town. We checked out the sites, learned about the history of Marion, and shopped a bit so we worked up an appetite. We stopped into Lottie's and immediately received a warm welcome. We came for lunch. They had a lot of people ordering take out. As guests we were treated as if we were more like friends or family. As for the food.....again perfection. I ordered the Chicken plate. It came with two sides of your choice and toast. The Chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Seriously the best fried Chicken I've ever had. For sides I ordered the Mac and Cheese, fried okra, and added the green beans. The Mac and Cheese was rich & flavorful. The fried okra was crispy, flavorful and moist but not slimy. The greens beans were also the best green beans I've ever had. I could eat a whole bowl of it .....it was so tasty. My husband rarely orders seafood at restaurants. He opted for the catfish and shrimp platter and was not disappointed. I tried some of his food as well. The seafood was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. Fried onion rings were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. He enjoyed it very much. We aren't use to meals this large. It was so good we ate everything. I wish I lived closer because I would come in at least once a week even if it meant an hour drive each way. Since we are just passing through I'm planning to come back tomorrow before heading out and for sure will head there every time we are...

I helped my granddaughter move into her dorm at Judson College today and after we decided to get lunch, very limited places to eat and Lottie's was the only place open at 3. I am so glad. My granddaughter had eaten here before and ordered a chicken salad plate and I ordered a catfish filet plate. The sweet tea was fresh and the dinner with catfish had 3 large perfectly cooked filets, a large mound of crispy onion rings and coleslaw with bbq bread. The chicken salad plate had a sandwich made on bbq bread, big steak fries, and potato salad. If I could give a higher score I would. Leftover for supper tonight. Reasonably priced. Looks like they have music sometimes because there is a stage. There is a large selection of items to select from and sides. The service was very good and it was very clean. I will go again when I visit my granddaughter....

9.21.25.estimated earlier 12pm.. I 'm deaf with a senior citizen mom so i come in and already got a ready order lists on the notes , presented to the man. He read it and wrote the order receipt..Also he asked my name & told me abt 15 minutes. So we were sitting and waited..It has been passed 15 minutes and also, we were skipping . Within over one hour ..we still sitting and waiting.. I feel that we are ignoring and invisible? So we decided to leave without our foods... they don't ever bothering to look our order or asking me.... MEANS THAT YOU CAN'T READ MY WRITING OR POINTING THE MENU CARDBOARD? DIFFICULTY WITH DISABILITY PPL?
