LawLers Barbecue is a locally owned business in the Tennessee Valley, not some big corporate chain.
The owners were born and raised in Athens, Alabama and still live there today.
From the owners…
Yes, we have grown to become more than a “mom ‘n pop” restaurant, but we still try and keep that small town hospitality feel…no matter how big we get.
Generations of folks have made LawLers a family tradition at their supper table.
