Galen's Restaurant

Nice local place that had surprisingly good sandwiches and great tasting fried shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their food.

They offer a special every day and my meat (shrimp) and three were delicious.

Definitely a stop again tyoe place.

I honestly like the food, its very authentic southern food. Its very tasty, decent sized of serving. They serve so fast.

Our first time eating at Galen’s and we enjoyed our breakfast. I had the egg cheese and ham sandwich and my husband had the BLT. He said it was the best he had. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. I do recommend eating at Galen’s.

I honestly can't believe I've never left a review for Galen's. I guess it's just because it's been a fixture in my family's dining rotation for so long the thought never occurred to me.

Sadly, we actually hadn't been to Galen's in a very long time -- not sure why, probably some combination of pandemic + busy, but I'm happy to say I remedied that situation with my mom yesterday on our weekly lunch together! And it was every bit as good -- perhaps better -- as I remember it being.

The interior is kinda cute kitschy southern / fish shack chic. It's a medium size restaurant that provides table service, though you take your ticket to the register to pay.

Service is generally efficient and friendly. This time, I thought our waitress was particularly good. I think her name was Kristen, but I'm not sure.

This restaurant is no frills, country cooking. It's popular with the locals and usually does a good business at least for breakfast and lunch, which is when we tend to visit. They have traditional breakfasts, plate lunches, and barbeque. Never had the bbq but they have a smoker out back that's usually pumping out good smells. I'm always just too drawn in by the plate lunches. They have different specials each day of the week. You can opt for one of your sides to be replaced with the dessert of the day, which is always nice.

My family and I have tried a lot of the food here and I honestly don't think we've had a bad meal. Our go-tos are the vegetable plate, chicken and dressing when they have it, and the chicken tender dinner. Chicken and dumplings are good too. For sides, we like their broccoli (lots of butter and garlic), their vegetable medley (which sounds like it wouldn't be that exciting but is actually exceptional), coleslaw (you've got your choice of mayo or vinegar based -- my mom LOVES their mayo based with poppyseeds like her mom used to make :D), and what gets my vote for best fried okra in town. Don't forget to ask for ranch for dipping if you get chicken tenders or fries; it's homemade and super creamy. Their dessert of the day is usually some kind of cobbler. I like the chocolate cobbler: warm chocolate pudding and pie crust. Yum. At breakfast, the eggs, bacon, biscuits, hash browns, and pancakes are all consistently made well.

A one-off visit here may only earn 4 stars, but after many, many visits over the years, the consistently solid food and quick service has solidified this as one of our regular favorites. Give them a try if you're in the area.

In Alabama on business, and on our way back south from Huntsville, we discovered Galen's. Since its my name, just had to stop by. Very friendly southern family hole in the wall (and I don't mean this in a bad way at all). Food was good and the staff was great.

Another great breakfast feast at Galen's today. Big Boy breakfast had 2 eggs and grits with 2 big tenderloins, 2 biscuits and a pan cake. Reasonable price. Don't forget they also have a military discount. Great service!

I have been coming here since I was a kid while visiting my grandparents. The service has always been wonderful, and everyone is always so sweet. On my last visit in November, the owner or manager came out and watched football with us! He was a delight. The food is to die for, and so are all the unique, funny signs hanging everywhere. I always have a smile walking in and out of this restaurant. I hope it is there forever.

Husband got the smoked chicken. It was wonderful!!! The fried pickels are the best we have ever had. Also, the classic hamburger was delicious!!! As always, service with a smile!

Two of us that ordered Alfredo dishes got sick. No seasoning on any of the food. Very bland. Sweet tea was delicious.

Typical meat and three in the south...great, friendly service and great food! Great options too. Get the meatloaf!!!! Highly recommend if in the area

Great experience and even better food. We will definitely visit this place each time we are near Lake Guntersville.

Galen's is an absolute treasure to our area!! Hardest working people in the area by far! Great food, home cooking different specials each day. Always cheerful no matter how busy! Steak tips, fried shrimp and Chicken fried steak are some of our favorites.

Went for breakfast and had the steak and eggs and I must say it was probably one of the best steaks I’ve had in a while. Great customer service, very attentive. I’d definitely be recommending and coming more often!

I got the country ham egg and cheese sandwich which was great. Their country ham has excellent flavor. We stopped on our way to Cathedral Caverns which was great.

Best breakfast in AL. Tell them Tim sent you. Ask for Cindy or Kathy and the chef makes best Chicken and dumplings in town. Tuesday Thursday Saturday. Fried catfish daily.

Always delicious food and awesome service. Highly recommend.

While traveling we decided to check and see where there's local meat and three. This place did not disappoint. Two of us got a vegetable place and another got BBQ with vegetables. Everything was great along with wonderful service.
