Rally's

So, I'm gonna come right out and just say that the 5 stars might be too generous.
My five stars is based off of emotion.
To begin with Rallys is super nostalgic for the wife and I.
We met at one 30 years ago back home.
So it's a place we like to visit no matter where we're at.
This one we found on road trip.
We pit stopped in Birmingham.
So the place needs a little love but the employees were super friendly and super patient and we tried to order.
We were at the drive thru menu trying to figure out what we wanted and the staff did their best to help us out.
Good grief has the menu changed over 30 years.
I went with a Buford melt on sourdough bread and the wife had a traditional burger combo.
We added an order of wings cause....what!...
Rally's now carries buffalo wings....
So we wanted to try em.
We get to the window and the cashier is ready with the drink and the wife's combo.
She hands it over and asks us to park because the wings are still cooking.
We park and wait.
It dawned on me that I wasn't sure I parked in the right spot so I got off to take a peak and a staff member asks if I needed help.
I shared that I forgot where the cashier asked me to park to which he said " where you are at is fine, i got you".
I said cool and went to wait on the truck.
While waiting, I reminded the wife it's been 30 years since we met and how bout a pic.
She was embarrassed and reluctant but I managed to talk her into it.
I asked the gentleman who was outside waiting for my order to take a photo of us and found that his name was Thomas.
Thomas is the General Manager of this location and he was just as excited about our 30 year Rallys anniversary as we were.
Turns out he just took over and has had a very difficult time bringing this place up to par.
He says he has a ways to go but is making lots of progress.
He travels from Georgia everyday to make a difference in his new neighborhood.
All in all it was a great interaction with the staff.
Food was hot, fresh and tasted great.
For some reason, we felt right at home.

The lady that took our order was super sweet.
She made sure that our food was fresh.
It was really good too! Only thing was, it was really early in morning.
Like maybe 130am? It's kinda sketchy in that area.
That's my fault though, going out that late with my kid.
I'll definitely eat there again.

Owner response

I wasn’t able to eat any of my food! The fries tasted like they had been sitting in grease for hours and the burger was cold and not made fresh! The lemonade was good and Ashley was very nice and accommodating!
