Alabama, Gulf Shores - Friday, November 29, 2013 - Black Friday


Weather was in the high 50s and sunny today – very nice.  We went to Lamberts for lunch.  This restaurant has been in business since 1943 and is the “home of the throwed rolls” www.throwedrolls.com
 
 
We had more to eat today than we did yesterday when we went to Cracker Barrel for their Thanksgiving special.  There was an hour wait yesterday, today we walked right in even though the parking lot was full.

For $12.99 I ordered the charbroiled chicken breast with baked beans and slaw.  It ended up being 2 chicken breasts with at least a cup and a half of the sides.  In addition you get softball size rolls and all the fried okra you can eat before your meal gets to you.  While you are eating they are walking around with large pots of various sides you can get in addition to the ones you ordered – black-eyed peas, fried potatoes and onions, macaroni and tomatoes, apple butter and molasses.  There were some other sides they walked around with but I can’t remember them.  In order to get a roll you have to raise your hand and a guy at the end of the room throws one to you.  Sometimes he just throws them for the heck of it.  Drinks come in a large plastic 64 oz. mug with free refills.  I think they have such large heavy mugs for the drinks so they don’t knock them over with the rolls.  Needless to say we have enough left over for supper this evening.
After lunch we actually did some Black Friday shopping at Tanger Outlets just down the road.  Traffic was ridiculous getting in the main entrance so we took off on a side road and went in the back entrance which worked out well.  Even the back entrance was filling up by the time we were ready to leave.  We still haven’t found one of the gifts we are looking for, we’ll be trying again in Gulfport before we resort to ordering on line.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be in the 60s so we plan to get out and just ride.
