Great food, very simple and authentic. Staff was smiling and having a good time while handling a busy lunch rush.

The best down home cooking one can ask for in Huntsville, AL. The service can be spotty at times (mainly on Sundays) there is not much of an ambiance. The oxtails, candied yams and cornbread is spot on! If you visit on Sundays be prepared to wait in a long line and also for your food to be prepared.

Moved here and was looking for a good soul food restaurant and I'm glad I ran across this restaurant. We love the turkey wings, and fried chicken, and please don't get me started on the collard greens, yams, and cornbread!

The 'fried porkchop' was delicious and huge. that alone is a 5 star treat I was scared to try to the Fried Corn but braved it. I was more like canned corn in consistency and and I will skip it next time The counter service seems disorganized when you first walk in, but it is not too hard to figure out. The owners/staff were friendly but very busy with all the orders. We will be back

Went here due to AL.com rating the fried chicken as some of the best in the state and it did not disappoint. Got fried chicken, fried corn, fried green tomatoes and Mac n cheese and it was all delicious. Want to try everything.

First time here and I got the lunch special for $14.95. I ordered the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy along with collard greens, cornbread, banana pudding and a drink. The chicken was delicious however I only got a leg and a wing. Felt kind of disappointed in the pieces for the price I paid. The greens were mid and the mashed potatoes were more liked clumped potatoes. The pudding was excellent. I'll come back.

I've yet to have a dish I didn't like. The food speaks for itself. The staff is always welcoming and the service is quick. I can't seem to catch them when they have the honeybun cake though. Gotta try it to know why. It's a chill spot to enjoy lunch ( I always regret not ordering double -- it's that good). Be sure to check the hours or you'll be disappointed. The sides are pork free. Stop by and enjoy!

If you're looking for some delicious soulfood then look no more! Betty Mae's is so good. You feel like you're at your grandmas house on Sunday after church. They have daily specials that include a dessert and drink. The staff were nice and had great customer service. We will be back!

I saw an article in Alabama News Center talking about the Five Must-Try Fried Chicken Plates in Alabama, and Betty Mae's was on the list. I book marked it since I was visiting Huntsville a few days later. This meat and three offers you a meat, 2 sides, bread, drink and desert for $11. They have a good selection and the portions are generous, so I would say this is a must try place. Of course I ordered the fried chicken, with mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, corn bread muffin, and lemon cake. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside; overall pretty good. I thought the mac and cheese was a bit bland, but the fried green tomatoes were good. Corn bread wasn't too dry, and the lemon cake was moist and lemony sweet. The meal is an excellent value, so Betty Mae's has rightfully earned a spot on the must try list.
