“ A quiet little restaurant. Tucked away from the main road. Great food and the prices are great. The staff is very friendly and nice and knowledgeable about the food (what food a diabetic person can have). Differently will come back. Worth visiting. ”
“ Came for brunch/lunch at 11am and loved that we could order off the breakfast menu or the lunch menu. My daughter got the red velvet chicken and waffles, I had a turkey club and fiance had the pulled pork plate. Everything was sooooooo goooodddd. Will 100000% be back. Owner and staff are awesome people as well, can't wait to come back and try something new. ”
“ We try to stop in as often as we can; on Friday night all you can eat fried fish and my brother loves it. If you don't want fish try the baked chicken it was excellent . ”
“ This was my second time here and both times I had the same great experience. The food is superb and cooked just right. I enjoyed the country fried steak, which is my personal favorite dish anytime. It was very tender and had a great flavor. The service was great also. Sandra was very attentive. And above all, the prices are very reasonable. Marcus has a great establishment and I recommend this to anyone. I would've left photos but I couldn't wait to eat. ”
“ First time eating here, and I'll be back. All you can eat or order off the menu. Can't be easier. Friendly staff! Best BBQ chicken I've ever had. Sweet potato casserole was Superb! Cornbread was spot on!! Cheryl took great care of each table and always smiling. ”
“ Visited Foley today for some other errands, and decided to go somewhere local rather than a chain for lunch. And that’s how mom and I found The Gathering Place. We were greeted with smiles when walking in. I ordered the fish po-boy and mom ordered the turkey club. The club was really good; she ate half by the time I took a pic. Haha :) Turkey club sandwich definitely is a recommendation. My fish po-boy was really good too; tartar sauce and ketchup levels it up even more. Fries and onion rings were a tad bit short on seasonings but still tasty. Lena was our waitress; she was very attentive and kind. Overall atmosphere was cozy and friendly. Excellent service too. Will definitely return. ”
“ A.MAZ.ING food! These grits are so unique! Fluffy and yummy! EVERYTHING was delicious! Ken was also amazing! HIGHLY recommend! We will be back to try lunch and dinner too! ”
“ Had a delicious meal tonight, it was my first visit to The Gathering Place, the service & food were incredible! Our waiter Richard was so friendly & made great recommendations. I had the honey garlic boneless wings. Friends had the red velvet chicken & waffles and the shrimp & grits, both of which were delish! Highly recommend stopping in to support this locally owned business. ”
