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.
I love this comment so much! I know you have enjoyed seeing Lambert's grow and continue to offer the same great food and service. I wish I was closer to one of the locations. It's such a fun and delicious place to eat! Thanks for watching and commenting.
One of our favorite places to eat, we love going there!!
Cool! It is such a fun environment!
I love Lamberts! The pass arounds will have you full, before your meal comes out.
I heard but never been. Thanks for sharing😊❤
It's such a fun place! Where else can you go and have your rolls "throwed" at ya while you eat? You also will not leave hungry. Hope you get to go to one of the locations!
Eat at your own risk. My last 2 trips to Sikeston location left me with severe diarrhea about 4 to 5 hours later! Been going there for over 30 years but now I am done.
What an interesting restaurant! That would be a real treat to have your rolls thrown to you instead of being delivered to the table. I vaguely remembered that you and Cindy had experienced this once before. Good food and a great atmosphere; what more could you ask for!!
Such a fun atmosphere. Definitely not boring! If the customers threw the rolls that would be even more entertaining!
ok, so as im watching.. it reminds me of a “super affordable” Brazilian buffet where they walk around with high quality meats and put them in your plate, but this place is like a buffet that comes to you, in the same way. what a fun video.. ok, im about to play the rest of the video, as i am having a blast watching this!
It was so much fun going here. I am glad that it came through in the video. Appreciate you watching so much!
It’s a neat atmosphere. I like their rolls and the okra is good, but I think that overall Lamberts is overrated…..the food is often cold. My in-laws love it so on our upcoming trip I’m sure we’ll be eating there
Hope your food is hot on your next visit. I think receiving your food hot and quick service on refills makes or breaks a place. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was decent overall for our experience. Definitely want your potatoes and gravy hot!
Just added this to our bucket list. Thank you for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a fun experience for sure! It was amazing how accurate the thrower was when throwing across the restaurant. It's very popular as you could tell from the crowd. Thanks for your continued support.
Great food and fun atmosphere!
It really is! We had a blast! Plus you won't leave hungry. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cool place for sure.
Such a fun place to visit. "Throwed rolls" is such a fun tradition here. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
That's me throwing
Wow ..wish it was out here in California 👍😍
Wish it was here in Virginia too! Such a fun place to eat with good food. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
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.
I had not heard that! That’s crazy! Everyone knows about the throwed rolls there. It’s a fun place to eat for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I've eaten at the Lamberts in Sikeston Mo. FUN and excellent food
Definitely a good time! They definitely have a good business here. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
This place looks fun & delicious! Next on my list to visit for sure! Fun video!
We had such a great time at Lambert’s Cafe. The atmosphere and food can’t be beat. It’s a blast catching the throwed rolls. Hope you have been well. Have a great weekend.
FUN! Have always wanted to go......this makes me want to go all the more!
Hope you get to go soon! It is so much fun!
Yeeeeah boy, best place ever
It is a great place! So much fun!
I am 50 and have been eating at lambert’s as far back as I can remember, at the original lambert’s in sikeston, mo. Live in northwest Florida about an hour or so from foley. Always great food.
Wow! Lots of memories from Lambert's then. We went to the Lambert's in Missouri and put Foley on our itinerary when we went to Destin. Such a fun place with great food. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
my hubby doesnt like if i handle his food to steal some, so this may not be his cup of tea but i think its hilarious! 😊
He may not like the throwing or actually coming around with the pass arounds. Of course he doesn't have to take the pass arounds or catch the rolls.
I'd like to have one of those shirts! I like getting shirts from different states I visit.
That would be an awesome shirt to have! Definitely a conversation starter. Thanks for watching an commenting.
Greg and I watched this video together he said that guy throwing the rolls could play football or baseball . I’ve always wanted to go here just for the rolls ! Y’all’s food look great ! Thanks for taking us along 🧡🤍Ren
Greg is right! We said the same thing about his throwing. He was super nice when we talked with him. That's the thing about doing TH-cam videos at places is you get to meet so many nice people. The camera opens up conversations. Thanks for watching!
Watching you on my Rocu TV while you were in Alabama awesome. Better than watching on my phone.
We enjoy watching TH-cam on our TV too. This place had such a fun atmosphere! Hope you are staying cool and enjoying the summer.
I'm thinking of going to Alabama this year. If I would go, I would try to visit the Cafe.
That would be awesome to go. We had to reroute our trip to make this happen but it was worth it. We just knew Carly would enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
OMG I was at this place 2 months ago the food was good 😊 coming Phoenix az🥵
We love Lamberts. So much fun and the food is great. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can’t wait to check this place out in November!!❤
Food looked fantastic!
Looking forward to seeing your review! You will love it!
Been there love it
It is so much fun! Good food and thrown rolls, who could ask for more? Thanks for watching and commenting!
David - that was impressive how you were filming with your left hand and still caught the roll with your right hand. That was great! We really enjoyed watching this. Whenever we stay in Destin or Pensacola Beach, we always make the trek over to Foley just to eat at Lamberts. It looks like everyone had a great time and the food looked fantastic.
Thanks 👍 It was definitely a fun time and we enjoyed our meals too. Just way too much food at one time. I'm sure both boys enjoy Lambert's. Have a fantastic week!
Been to the original in Missouri. Great food and fun. Have yet to set foot in Alabama. What used to be Fort Rucker is on my bucket list. (Museum of Army Aviation...) This was a fun video! God Bless!
We had been to the Missouri location years ago. We made a detour to include this in our vacation plans. We thought it would be fun for Carly to go for the "throwed" rolls. Of course she loved it.
good43
Thanks for watching!
How fun!
This place is a blast! We really enjoyed going here and thought the food was good too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for sharing this experience! Someone we know was telling us about Lamberts and the whole throwing the rolls ordeal and such and now thanks to yall we got to see it for ourselves! If we ever go to Alabama I'm definitely adding this to my to do list! And from the looks of everything you won't leave hungry that's for sure!
You absolutely will not leave hungry! It's such a fun experience and the food is good. Definitely go hungry! We had been to one in Missouri before but made sure we put this as one of our destinations when we went to Florida. Lots of fun!
I ate at this Lambert's last Saturday with my cousins during the vacation at Gulf shores.
The dinner was exciting I had the chicken tenders with mac and cheese and of course French fries
Then they had pork chop, BBQ ribs tea my male cousin and I just had water in those gigantic cups
And yes the throwed rolls
Loved it 🍽🍽🍽👍🏾👏🏾💯
So glad you had a good meal and a good time at Lambert's. I love it and think everyone should experience it at least once. It's such a fun time and lots of good home cooking. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Lambert's looks like some good home cooking. I love fried potatoes! I have never seen a restaurant server throwing rolls. That was great!😂
We had visited one in Missouri before and wanted to visit this location. Carly had not been to one so we knew you would enjoy it. So much fun!
I've eaten there twice when I went there for vacation 👍
Great! Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
One of THE biggest tourist trap restaurants EVER!!!!
It's a fun stop! Plus the food was decent too. Where else can you go and have your rolls throwed? lol Thanks for watching!
@@vafunseekers I live 45 minutes from Orange Beach. We went one time to see what all the hoopla was about. Food was mediocre at best and way overpriced. Like I said, it’s a classic tourist trap. They originated in Missouri so they are NOT a Southern restaurant. There’s a local restaurant up the road in Robertsdale that is locally owned called Ivey’s. Food is exceptional
@@rogwheel You definitely go here for the experience. We actually went to the location in Missouri before Carly was born. We knew she would love it, so we had to take her to a Lambert's. Will definitely look up Ivey's. Thanks!
@@vafunseekers agreed. We went to have the experience and it was unique for sure but the quality of the food was not good enuf IMHO to want to go back.
Love your channel. I would love to visit Lamberts😊
Thank you! Lamberts was so much fun. Hope you get to visit there soon. Great food and the thrown rolls really make the experience. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Ate at the original in sikeston, Missouri in 1984. It was awesome
We were there in 2010. So we knew we had to take Carly to Lambert's. She loved it!! Fun place with good food. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Been there many times over past 30 years but last 2 visits left me with severe diarrhea a few hours later! Never again.
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.
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.
Pass around are the best
Yes, you can make a meal off of just the pass arounds! Such a fun place! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Me and you sound the same!
Cool! Are you from Louisiana by any chance? Everyone always asks me if I am from there? Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love your Yankees shirt and your Southern accents, from NYCer fan. 😂
Thanks so much! We haven't been to NYC in awhile. We had a trip planned in 2020 and Covid messed that up. We were waiting for Carly to get old enough to be able to handle the pace of the city. Hoping to get back there soon. Our last trip there was seeing the Yankees win the World Series in 2009.
@@vafunseekers Oh nice, 2009 damn I was like during my high school days. LOL I hope you guys get to come and visit someday and do a review. I'll like to see that for sure.
👍
This is such a fun place to eat! Appreciate you watching! Watch out for the throwed rolls!
@@vafunseekers I was at one in Missouri a number of years ago; was at auction; a good number of us went to one;
@@oldfarmshow Nice. We went to the one in Missouri years ago and knew we wanted to take Carly to Lambert's Cafe.
Let's go get some "throwed" rolls daddy.
Absolutely! Fun place!
Why do I get the feeling that the one time I miss something that is thrown to me it would be in this restaurant?
It does look like a lot of fun and I have to admit that some of my favorite restaurants in the USA are more quirky than white table cloth.
We really enjoyed this restaurant. It was so much fun and the food was good too. The relaxed atmosphere and the throwed rolls made the experience so much better here. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Everyone I know has been here but me! Jealous y'all got to go. Love it's a 4th generation family owned restaurant. The flick of the wrist with the roll throwing was impressive lol
We made a point to include this restaurant on our trip. It was a little out of our way but it was worth it. Your kids would love this place! So much fun and the food was good too. Hope you are having a great weekend!
After Mahomes wins the MVP in the SB he should go throw rolls at Lamberts. Rolls coming at ya 100 mph
LOL That would be pretty exciting to go there and have him throwing rolls. 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.
Wow! I don't think I would go back to a restaurant after having those two experiences either. Sorry you had such a bad experiences. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I've always wanted to go there. Did you see anyone drop a roll that was thrown to them? I was curious do they have any novelty fake rolls in the gift shop that you can throw around at home later for fun? If they don't, that would be a good idea. Also, David, sad to see you in that Yankees shirt. Go Orioles!
It is a fun place and the food is good too! I think I saw a few people drop a roll. But of course we catch like a professional Yankee so we caught all our rolls. lol We like the Orioles too! They have a beautiful ballpark.
I don't recall a fake roll, but that is a good idea. Make it a squishy and you could use it as a stress ball too! Thanks for watching!
@@vafunseekers yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Also, the last game I saw was the Orioles beating the Yankees, and the Avett Brothers played a concert after. One of my favorite bands, it was a great night, other than the rain. I'd love to go to Lamberts someday for sure!
I never knew they had one IN Alabama! Can I get a roll?
Throwing a roll from Virginia to Tennessee! Catch it! David said next time we go out to eat he will make sure to toss you one!
@@vafunseekers LOL!!! YES, ready to receive! Hope to see ya'll again real soon! Tell Carly hi from us. Lot's to share, with everyone, our memories out West.
@@WeReviewU Carly says hello and we are looking forward to hearing and seeing your videos from out west. We hope y’all had a great time!
1st time eating hog jowls. Like bacon on steroids!
LOL I have to ask have you ever had fat back meat? My grandfather, who lived to be in his 90's, use to love eating it. He was always a thin man, even thought he would eat food like this. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The original is in Sikeston, Missouri.
Yes, we visited that location a long time ago. So we made this a stop on our trip to Florida. It was a little out of the way but it was worth the drive to experience this location. We wanted to take our daughter here to experience it. She really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I got job offer in coastal orange beach with 15usd per hr .is thaat amt is enough me to survive there
It depends on your lifestyle and your living situation. Do you have somewhere to live or a roommate? Best of luck to you.
My frnd also is there along with me
It really drives me crazy when I find a restaurant I really like, then the quality goes down after a few years! 😖
Yes! I know exactly what you mean! It’s so disappointing.
I live 13 miles north and it was the best place to eat 20 years ago. I can afford it but have skipped it for the last 3 years. Too expensive and not as good.
We enjoyed our visit and it was so much fun with the throwed rolls. Everything is getting outrageous, including restaurants. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Here where I am, in smokies of NC, it’s same. Nothings good anymore and expensive.
Plus! They charge 4% if you use plastic including debit card, and don’t pay cash. On the total amount including tax and tip! I have cash 90% of time, my preferred payment anywY. However many come here and don’t know, on vacation. Everything is a scam anymore ! The fee varies state to state and began during the “c” illness. 🤦♀️
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Lots of scams started during the “c” epidemic and still exist. Anyway to have consumers to pay more and get less.
Yes! You know when I had my business, taking cards was just a cost of doing business, like paying the light bill or yellow page ad (dating myself with that one! Those ads were expensive too!). Anyway, I didn’t know if anyone else has run into those added charges for not paying cash. Almost every restaurant here in my small(ish) town charges it.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 It's definitely becoming the norm to pass the charge to the customer!
I like the toss and the food looks yummy
Have a great weekend see you soon be safe
So much with the tossed rolls. Hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
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...
We enjoyed our food and most of all the throwed rolls. You may want to reach out to the management at Lambert's Cafe to discuss your uniform concerns. Appreciate you watching!
@@vafunseekers I'm considering it. It would be to their advantage to make the change, like maybe losing the bowties. The rest of the uniform might not be too bad minus the bowtie. The uniform would still have sort of a southern vibe to it. Just a thought... I enjoyed your video btw 👍😁
@@FreeIndeed72 Sounds good. Never hurts to make a suggestion and share a view point.
Meh. Not worth the tremendous weight.
Food was okay at best.
I suppose I get the appeal though.
I don't like to wait either but this is a place that we definitely wanted to take Carly. You definitely go here for the fun atmosphere. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@vafunseekersit's a fun experience and the staff are awesome. Flying biscuits is an added incentive to go!
❤️
Not good at all anymore.
We enjoyed our visit. We have had a couple people comment that it has gone down hill. Thanks for watching.
