Restaurants in Bessemer

“A former college teammate of mine took my son and I to this fabulous steak and seafood place. The food was great and the historical atmosphere added to the fantastic food. Plan to bring my wife here on my next trip down south. I know she will love it!”

“Love Crumbl. Super fast service. The pack of three minis is not worth the price. Just get two large cookies and you'll get more cookie for the same price. The chocolate strawberry cookie was super good.”

“Masa is our absolute FAVORITE place to eat! Our kids LOVE it and the owners treat us like family with warm smiles and big hugs when we come! The food is always excellent with a HUGE sushi menu, we still haven’t tried it all yet but we have loved everything we have tried! Our 6 year olds ask for it all the time! Masa is like our home away from home when we need an excellent meal and don’t feel like cooking!”

“I went here for the first time on a lunch break. I got the lemon pepper wet. Never tried the wet seasoning and it was delicious will definitely be back and recommend to others. Customer service was amazing!”

“I haven’t been over to see Jamié in many years. Still number one.”

“Fantastic little hole in the whole. Staff is always nice, food comes out at a good time, and the food is awesome. My favorite is a rib plate with Mac & cheese and green beans. The burgers are very good too.”

“This is the best Texas style bbq ever. Go check them out. You cannot help but LOVE them like I do ❤️”

“The food was delicious and the portions were large. We had the chili relleno and chicken quesadilla. I highly recommend.”

“The cake will absolutely MELT in your mouth! I tried the red velvet, the lemon and the caramel cake. All were mouthwatering!!”

“My family and I (including the omnivores) LOVED the lasagna, candied yams, collards, maple roasted brussel sprouts, banana pudding and the pineapple ginger lemonade! Bessemer is so fortunate to have access to your talent! We live in Virginia and are visiting family this week…having this option and ability to pick up warm food on Thanksgiving day morning was such a mental blessing for me! Having such amazing deliciousness that impressed everyone was a win-win! Also the jerk mushrooms ya’lll they are a spicy wonderful explosion of flavor!!”

“Speedy's is a great hometown restaurant with terrific Mexican food. Their taco salads are our family favorite. Fast, friendly service and tasty food!”

“I'd give it 6 stars if I could! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. Everything was made fresh right after I placed the order. The owner was super friendly and the entire restaurant was clean, including bathroom. Highly recommend!”

“Las chimichangas son sabrosas y todo de muy buena calidad .Y atienden muy bien .Ya quiero volver de nuevo .”

“tried the quesabirria tacos today. probably the best tacos I have ever eaten. I will definitely go back and recommend them to everyone!”

“The grilled pork chop, collards and broccoli were delicious and well seasoned. The cornbread dressing had an unusual, non traditional taste that I didn’t like. Good price and portions.”

“I love these wings. Jason jiang was my cashier and he made me super duper exited. I love jason jiang. I love bj wings

Kid-friendliness: jason so nice to kid”

“This Waffle House is right off of I459 @ Morgan Rd exit. Our waitress was so sweet, she was respectful & provided service with a bunch of smiles. The music was festive and everyone seemed to enjoy the vibe that was going on. The food was tasty & delightful.”

“3 server Sleep place nasty. waited for 10 minutes for some one to come to front to tell me the waiting to clean the worst crew I ve ever came across in a Waffle house”

“Typical Waffle House. Breakfast served quick as i was the only one there, but it was around 4pm. Food was good, server would ask if I needed anything even so often.”

“Cory is the best waiter there! service was a bit slow.food was amazing (seriously recommend all star)! Atmosphere was quieter than usual and the place itself smells amazing like waffles. I recommend coming here”

“I accidentally posted the wrong review for this location—that review was meant for the McDonald's in Hoover. This is the review for this restaurant.

I stopped by today for a quick snack and ordered three McDoubles made fresh. They were exactly as requested—fresh off the grill, hot, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. They tasted like they had just come off the grill, which made a huge difference. It's always nice when a restaurant takes the time to prepare your food the way you ask instead of handing you something that's been sitting.

I also want to recognize the drive-thru employee who took care of me. She was genuinely friendly, polite, and had such a positive attitude. She greeted me with a smile in her voice, was patient while taking my order, and made me feel like she actually cared about providing good customer service. Small interactions like that can really make someone's day, and she represented this location very well.

Overall, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. Great food, fresh preparation, and outstanding customer service. I'll definitely be back, and I hope the team continues providing this level of quality. Keep up the great work!”

“Entire crew polite and very nice for beginning of the day!”

“Clean. Good. Unexpected. Cheap. Not always super fast, but it's always made to order. In an industrial area with few choices, they stand out above the regular fast food spots.”

“I’ve had a lot of plates, but this one stands out. Apostle McKnight (RDM Catering, LLC.) and his team cooked with care and intention. You can tell it was made with love. Truly a blessing. Highly recommend supporting them!”

“Everyone helps! You won’t finish a drink before another is on your table! My kinda hospitality. Servers and so friendly!”

“Best shrimp an grits ever”

“My husband is making it a point of us eating healthy, counting calories and our diet has recently changed for the best. We've had it the past 2 days and won't be surprised if we have it again tomorrow”

“They were so kind & after I asked if they give discounts to military she responded... yall took care of us, so we'll take care of yall. That made my day & the sandwich was delicious.”

“10/10- have used them several times for catering large groups and have never been disappointed. Neither have my guests!! Great food. Extremely affordable. Very accommodating. My go-to for Mexican cuisine in Columbia.”

“The only down side is that it located inside a gas station. But the service was A-1, the staff was awesome, and the hot dogs where great!! Stop by and give them a try!!”

“I got two shrimp and broccoli with fried rice, a quart of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. It was good as always (i been here multiple times.) One item i tried a couple months and i don't recommend is the honey chicken. The chicken that's used is low quality and the sauce is meh. It doesn't really compare to Lucky Panda Asian Kitchen's Honey chicken though.”

“The food was amazing and affordable! Can not wait to come back when she opens back up🤗”

“Great food and we never leave hungry”

“Quick/kind service and yummy authentic Mexican food. 10/10”

“Whenever I get a high test score, my grandfather drives me out and lets me get a whole basket full of pastries, and it’s never more than $30 for the whole lot. The best part- they aren’t expired. We call it “The Day-Old Bread Store,” but everything is dated at least a month ahead of when you buy it. I highly recommend this as your go-to pantry stuffer store”

“Omg. Where to start!!!! This place is just unbelievably awesome.My recommendation.Do me a favor!!If you are into spicy foods, then please ask for a Burrito with the red spicy tortilla filled with steak and chorizo all the way. You will thank me later. ?”

“Food prices a bit higher than other soul food restaurants, ($9.18 for 2 veggies and a piece of bread) but customer service was A1 and fast delivery of food ordered. The food was delicious and I love the fact that it was black owned. Will eat here again.”

“Awesome place spoke with the owners and employees for a while such nice great people and if that wasn’t good enough the food is amazing!!! We live 3 hours from here but it is definitely worth the drive!”

“There are some restaurants you eat at once and enjoy, and then there are places like WT’s that feel like they’re stitched into the fabric of the community. After 39 years of being open, this place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an icon in Bessemer. Honestly, it deserves to be considered a historic landmark.

We came in and had the bologna sandwich and the shrimp salad, and both were absolutely outstanding. The bologna sandwich was piled high, grilled just right, and hit every nostalgic note you could hope for. The shrimp salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the soup of the day was rich and comforting—true scratch-made goodness that you don’t find just anywhere. Even the sweet tea, served in a mason jar, felt right at home here.

But WT’s isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people. Meeting Wanda and Patti was an absolute highlight—they welcomed us like family, and that warmth is exactly why so many people keep coming back year after year. Reading through other reviews, you can see the same story repeated over and over: great food, great service, and the kind of Southern hospitality that makes you feel like you belong.

The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious—nothing fancy, just real and genuine. You can feel the history in the place, and it’s clear how much love and effort has gone into keeping it thriving for nearly four decades.

If you’re anywhere near Bessemer, you owe it to yourself to stop here. Whether it’s for a quick lunch, a hearty dinner, or just to soak up the atmosphere of a true local gem, WT’s delivers. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why independent restaurants matter so much—because they’re built on tradition, pride, and community.

WT’s is more than a meal—it’s an experience, and one you won’t forget”

“I always have a wonderful time when I'm out with all my friends there we are like a huge family there everyone knows everyone and if it's your first time there u will be welcomed with open arms and let's not for get MoMA Darlene best bartender in town”

“I love ❤️ the food it's so delicious 😋 keep God first and keep fixing delicious food.”

“Great night club. Nice atmosphere. The band was incredible! We had a lot of fun. The folks I met were all super cool. I did not try the food, but maybe next time!”

“My legal assistant and I went to check out the new find, "MeMe's Coffee and Deli," and we were not disappointed. We discovered a coffee shop serving food, karaoke, theme days like Taco Tuesdays, etc. We had our hands full already from our walk today and were not able to get much, but we ordered coffee and hot chocolate, and let me tell you, I am picky about my hot chocolate. I am hooked from the first sip of it. Plan on going there tomorrow for lunch.”

“The music is great and having a party there They make you feel welcomed”

“I have been twice and on both occasions food was fresh, hot, oil fresh, crisp vegetables, and seasoned well. I would recommend and I will be returning.”

“Small cramped bar with lots of smoke and regulars who sit at gambling machines every night. Coolest part about this place was that you will get to know everyone in a visit or two.”

“We walked in here several months ago and did not realize it was a different restaurant from 2 years ago. I’m not real big on Mexican food. However this is my new favorite place to eat. Drinks are awesome as well!”

“friendly service Great Staff Independently Black Owned”

“When we visit from Mississippi, we eat at Full Moon at least once. My favorite thing is the Fried Green Tomato’s and the carrot cake. I need to find out what kind of HoneybMustard Sauce they use, the best I ever had. 💜💛”

“Every morning I stop by to get my medicine ball tea The person there and very polithey're very polite know my name to my name and know what I like”

“Wednesday September 15. Food and service was excellent. The young people helping me were so nice and polite. The food was hot and fresh. And I let the manager know.”

“Best Reese Blizzard in town!
Updated 02/12/2026 - Went through the drive-thru twice recently and so enjoy the kind staff at this restaurant.
One visit was simply for the Royal New York Cheesecake with Strawberries Blizzard. The entire family LOVED this dessert. It is hands-down the best fast-food dessert out there. It tastes just like strawberry cheesecake with large chunks of strawberries, cheesecake, and graham cracker crumbles.
The second visit was for meals and the aforementioned Blizzard. Our sandwiches were perfect - moist and fresh with a good amount of toppings, and their fries are always crunchy outside, soft inside, and hot!”

“This was an outdoor food truck. Their tacos and quesabirria were amazing!! Loved their salsas, and the food was served very quickly. There isn't any seating, so we just ate in our car. Delicious!!”

“They have the best flavors!”

“Everything was so nice, all the pastries were fresh and the waffle cone ice cream was delicious! I give it a 10 out of 10 and I also love that she made me a banana milkshake with fresh bananas!”

“I recommend it, good seasoning, you have to spread the word if there are good tacos in Alabama, I'm from the sultana of Northern Mexico, Monterrey, those charros are raffling it off, keep it up and you will always have ”

“Had a very nice experience there. The sandwich was delicious as usual, it was nice and clean there and i think the black guy who works in there, who may be the manager was very pleasant to all of the costomers. All of the workers were pleasant!”

“The fish sandwich from Fish and Wing was absolutely delicious! The fish was fried perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was seasoned just right and paired well with the soft, fresh bread. The portion size was generous and very filling. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and made to order. If you’re looking for a great, satisfying meal, definitely the place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Always very nice staff and fresh food. The food is delicious too”

“My husband and I both enjoyed the food and the excellent service. The food was hot and our tea glasses never were empty. The atmosphere was nice. It was a great experience.”

“Everything I ate was delicious. I had the # 6 and the dipping sauce was Double O and I thought it was yummy. Also got a vanilla milkshake afterwards and it reminded me of homemade ice cream.”

“I have been here many times and the food and service is always great. The food is fresh made and doesn’t take a long time. You can eat in or carry out. They also have a drive thru.
If you’re in the area I highly recommend this as a good stop and you won’t be disappointed.”

“The food is delish- the hot and sour soup is great - so is the shrimp with vegetables. I have it made hot and spicy so it has a kick.

The front staff is always polite.

Dinner is carryout only.”

“I just want to take a few minutes to BRAG on this SUBWAY. THEY SET THE BAR EXTREMELY HIGH❤️❤️❤️The store is SO CLEAN, it’s actually SPOTLESS!!!! The customer service is TOP- NOTCH. THE bread is so SOFT and FRESH. The veggies are AMAZING. I feel like I’m eating FRESH VEGGIES STRAIGHT FROM THE GARDEN. The meats and cheese’s are SUPERB. You can tell they TRULY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS❌⭕️❌⭕️ FROM NOW ON…. THIS LOCATION IS THE ONLY ONE I WILL GO TO. THANK YALL FOR BEING SO AWESOME I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION”

“Sneaky Pete's hot dogs are a treat you owe yourself. The wieners and the buns are top quality, but it's really the sauce that makes them truly unique. Nobody else has the sauce. I make it a point to pick up a bottle of the sauce occasionally so that I have some on hand at home. A lunch at a Sneay Pete's is always a real pleasure.”

“I’ve been coming to this particular restaurant my entire life. I’ve never really had any problems there. I came Saturday to get a family meal to have while watching football. The gentleman at the drive thru was so nice! And, the food was on point! Y’all are rocking it!!”

“Ordered in restaurant. No long wait for food. Staff courteous. Place clean. Food delicious! One of the few places that I have been to that still has real gravy for the Egg Fu Yung. Not available for eat-in.”

“My friends and I had the best time being served by Dominique at Cracker Barrel in Bessemer. Servers are hit and miss these days in giving good service, so we were so delighted to have such a wonderful and attentive waitress who gave us excellent service. Dominique was so friendly and outright charming and made us laugh so hard. I haven't had such a good time out in a long time. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. I was not disappointed either as the food was excellent. Thank you, Dominique, for being so great at your job. I will always ask for you when I come to that Cracker Barrel.”

“I was very satisfied with my experience. I was greeted promptly upon arrival, and the staff demonstrated excellent professionalism and friendliness.
The menu and online app are both very clear, and the staff is highly knowledgeable about them. Using the app provided great value, and the usefulness of the digital interface made ordering easy. Most importantly, the amount of time to receive my order was impressively fast.”

There was two other families in the restaurant and my husband looked outside to see if the drive-through was backed up and there wasn't anyone there. They had at least 4-5 people working.
