“I’ve always enjoyed eating at The Bright Star restaurant in Bessemer, Alabama. Having lived in Birmingham for the past 25 years, I’ve had many opportunities. The atmosphere is an interesting fusion of diner, farmhouse, lodge and elegant restaurant with hand-painted Euro-like pastoral murals on the walls and early 20th century octagon floor tiles, and lots of wood, brass and marble throughout.Their menu is extensive enough to meet most patrons’ dietary needs/desires with seafood, steaks, and everything in between. I would personally recommend their snapper and shrimp entrees, and I like the Greek style of cooking (broiling with Greek spices and sauces and lots of lemon).Recently, I tried their baked/broiled oyster appetizer and it was superb. I would steer away from the bread pudding as enticing as it might sound, but then, I’m a sort-of bread pudding snob having savored that of Muriel’s in the French Quarter. Nothing could compare… but I digress. Stick with their peanut butter pie for dessert. You won’t be disappointed.I give them four stars mainly because the food portion and quality doesn’t correlate well with the prices. You can eat at several Michelin quality restaurants in Birmingham for about the same price.”
“Absolutely LOVE this place! The owners are so incredibly nice and the sushi/hibachi is probably the best I've ever had! I cannot say enough great things about this place! We have been here a couple time already and can't wait to go back!”
“I had their pizza for the first time last night. It is definitely my new pizza place. I very much recommend this place is you want pizza. Chain pizza "dominoes, papa johns, pizza hut,etc. are all good but wanna be pizza. This place gives a real pizza from a ture oven with cheese before toppings which is what makes the ”
“New to town and was suggested by a friend. The food was really good and prices were very reasonable. I enjoyed the lunch specials. Salsa was excellent as well. It's definitely a must for good Mexican food.”
“I love their BBQ Chicken, and the Grilled Chicken club, top of off with a Oreo Funnel Cake for desert! This place is super convenient, and their food is amazing! Wonderful friendly staff as well!”
“This here is Rolls with Kitties! Gotta say one of the best stops I've made in the entire country, stopped in for MNF and had a surprisingly great time courtesy of Chrissy! She's the best! Thank you ??”
“I always seem to order the same things (being safe) but I ordered the street Tacos at this place and WOW they had the BEST flavor!!!! Will definitely order again and the Margaritas are fabulous as well.”
“Definitely recommend this place! It’s slept on!1st time I tried it because I stayed in the hotel next door and I was really impressed. This is my 2nd visit and I purposely drove 40 min from downtown Birmingham for it. Ordered 5lbs of mixed seafood boil, definitely enjoyed it. Half way through the food cooled down so the waitress offered to reheat it and the owner kindly brought it out for us. After we paid and ready to go the waitress offered us to-go drinks.Will not be my last visit.”
“I love Taziki's! But of all the Tazikis I've been to this one makes the food the best by far. It comes out visually gorgeous and then the flavors are on point. Highly recommend.”
“I had a large order in the drive thru and they still managed to get it tome quickly! The order was accurate, fresh, and delicious. I have no complaints. The girl was really nice as well ?”
“Definitely recommend them for a last minute catering order. I was in a pinch at the last minute when I decided to throw my Supervisor a birthday party they were able to fulfill my big order with minimum notice. I will definitely be going back in the future. Great service, great food, great attitudes!”
“A hidden gem!!!! Jennie's is a great place for breakfast and lunch. I have been going here for years now. A very welcoming atmosphere and you always get to meet Jennie and Lee. Plenty of options on the menu with a few twists from the normal menus. Could not decide on what I wanted so I ordered three different burgers. Glad I ordered them with fried eggs. I was definitely full after that. They also have a good selection of hot dog with an interesting selection for toppings. I recommend the bacon dog with pimento cheese. That's the stuff!!! Enjoy!!!!”
“It's take out and they make the fish fresh so it's worth the wait! And therecare seats for you. The gentleman taking your order remembers everybody's order!! No wonder it's a busy spot!”
“Portions were enormous! I got a side of rice and broccoli, but it was enough to feed a party of 4. Fish was breaded and fried just right. Service was on top of everything. I never saw an empty drink glass.Parking: They had room for big trucks. I was driving a 26 ft box truck. Others had full semis. Cars were parked around the entrance with ample room.Wheelchair accessibility: Did not appear to be any issues.”
“I love this restaurant! It's right around the corner from my house, I can order on the phone and send someone to pick up for me, the food is so delicious, friendly, smiling, clean and reasonable.Thanks Mom's Deli!PS I ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER AND FAN!”
“Food was great. Had to hunt server down to get Wasabi for sushi. No cups for yum yum sauce. Cook passed around the bottle instead. Had to ask for fortune cookies.”
“Went here for the first time today for lunch. I had the 3-sides plate with collard greens, mac & cheese, and dressing. My husband had fried catfish, yams, and potato salad. Both came with a cornbread muffin. Everything was delicious! The owner/chef/server (he was the only one working and was doing all the jobs!) was friendly. I definitely want to go back to try more of their dishes. My only complaint is that it was very cold in the restaurant. Thus, I urge you to eat at Destiny's so that they make enough income that they can turn on their heat in January!”
“Overall great experience, the service wasn’t the best but I have worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years and covid changed things, so therefore I don’t really rate restaurants based on service anymore because they work short handed more often than not, but the food was amazing, best steak I’ve had in a long time. I am a manager at one of the best restaurants in the state and our steaks are amazing but I really enjoyed a steak other than ours for a change. It had the best flavor and cooked to perfection. It well exceeded any and all of my expectations.”
“At first I thought they were closed but I called the phone number and the door opened to Great food and had a great conversation with the owner. Definitely going back!”
