“Everything was delicious!! Steak Tartare, Chicken Liver Mousse and Escargot as appetizers, Trout Amondine and Basque Cake make this one of the best dining experiences I have ever enjoyed in Bham. Service was the best!!! Even met Frank Stitt!!! Can’t wait to go back soon!!!”
“Omg! Definitely a must have!!! We are incredibly picky but tonight we had an amazing dinner & drinks.”
“Legit Cajun food! Hard to find food this authentic and this good in Alabama. I will be back to try everything else.”
“FANTASTIC restaurant! Drinks are on point, food is amazing, and the staff makes this one of our fav restaurants and definitely a repeat! 10/10 recommend!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Exceptional in every way. The food is always over the top. They go above and beyond to make this the best dining experience. It's our favorite Birmingham restaurant.”
“We're not huge fans of Greek food, but we tried Tasty Town, mainly for convenience. We had planned a very packed day of sight-seeing in Birmingham on a Saturday. It seemed that hardly any eatery would be open and there wasn't time allowance to drive out of the downtown area, without being late for the next activity. Thus, we settled on a mid-afternoon lunch/dinner at Tasty Town. Honestly, both of us thought it was better than we had anticipated and the service and location were top notch. Thanks, Tasty Town! Thanks for being there, and thanks for being so good.”

“I’ve only experienced Last Call Bakery through June Coffee next door, but every time we do—it’s a win. They always have updated, seasonal pastries that are so good. My whole family still talks about them from all the way in Mississippi. Definitely worth a stop. You won’t regret it.”
“This was our first time and it was absolutely excellent from start to finish! The manager, Brandon, was SO genuinely welcoming and accommodating. Our server, Parker, was flawless and so much fun (request him!). Every dish was perfectly cooked, refined and full of flavor (smoked salmon, fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, rainbow trout, swordfish with andouille, ribeye with truffle fondue). The cocktails and wine all perfect. Will definitely return and want to thank Blueprint for a truly wonderful experience!”
“This was my first time at any Hattie B's. Now I know what all the talk is about. This is the best chain (maybe any kind) of bone in fried chicken I have had. You can tell it is cooked fresh. Nice crust. They offer various levels of heat. I chose medium (3rd on the scale). It was a little too hot for my liking. I will drop down to mild next time. I got the half bird so I could try both the dark and white meat. Both were good, but the dark meat wins out. The white was just a touch dry in spots (juicy overall). For sides, I got the potato salad and the black eyed pea salad. Both were good, but the potato salad wins. I wish they had hot black peas, mash potatoes with gravy, and rice as gravy as options, but they do not. They did have mac and cheese and fries as options. My friend got those and gave them high marks. Another added benefit is this chicken reheats great in an air fryer. The staff were friendly. We were there around 7:30 at night. It was a good crowd (mainly college aged) there. It is a nice area right near St. Vincent's Women and Children's Hospital.”
“I stumbled across this place while waiting for my order at another establishment. i went in to check out the menu and i was able to sample the beef/lamb and the chicken!! The samples were off the chain!! i ended up ordering the Beef/Lamb Shwarma Combo with the Watermelon Smoothie. it doesnt make sense how good this food!! Adam, you and your brother got a customer for life!! - Chef Omar”

“Always consistently delicious food and great service. One of my top 5 Birmingham restaurants!”

“This is a hidden gem. I'd give more than 5 stars if they were available. We looked at the menu on line and there were atypical offerings that attracted us. The food was excellent. My wife and I shared the beef steak tartare appetizer. It was a different presentation, but each bite was better than the one before. She then had the snapper in banana leaves with a side of sweet potatoes, and I had the duck breast with a papaya salad and sambal. Both portions were ample and we skipped dessert. A sign of a great chef is when food needs no added seasoning. None needed any. They also have an excellent wine selection. My only negative, which I make everywhere, is the noise level.”
“It was our Anniversary and they had a placecard on table noting it as well as our server. One of my favorite restaurants in Birmingham. Ambience is perfect ..the separate rooms are cozy and noise level is low. Service always top notch! Food is great . The only thing i don't care for is the bread. They could leave the spinach marinade off the top and serve a more crusty warm bread . The olive oil to dip is great.”
“Absolutely best restaurant I have eaten and I have been to Italy. Husband agreed. Food was freaking amazing and portions are huge. The wedge salad was to die for!! I do not like bread pudding but loved Amore bread pudding. Appears to be a strip mall restaurant on outside but step inside and its a while different experience. Our server was very sweet and did a great job!”
“We love this restaurant and had a phenomenal experience on 2 different occasions. Today they did a fantastic job for our son's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. We definitely will make this our place to escape from the average dining places.”

“Best ceviche I have ever had - and I’m from a costal state where it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was awesome! I had the Masa Custed Trout - 10 out of 10!! My son had Barbaccoa quesadilla, it was great too! Little one had a bacon quesadilla he ate ALL of it shocking for put 9 yo! Seriously though, go! You won’t regret it!!”

“Stopped in after midnight and my expectations were totally exceeded. The entire store was immaculate. Dining room was clean, store was stocked with everything we wanted, and the sandwich artist was amazing. She made our sandwiches perfectly.

Please bring a baha to auburn AL , we definitely need a burger place like this and also best service also . Thank you for serving great burgers”

“I’ve been avoiding posting this review, but it wouldn’t be fair to others if I didn’t. I know I’ll probably catch some flack or criticism for it, but it is what it is. I don’t get paid for this. I don’t receive free food. I experience these restaurants just like any other customer, from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. That being said, here’s my honest review of Yo’ Mama’s! I went here with friends and family for lunch, and my first impression was great. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly and efficient. To start on a positive note, everyone else in my group really enjoyed their food. They said the fish was well-seasoned and delicious, and they had no complaints. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as lucky. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and while it looked absolutely delicious, the taste didn’t match the appearance. Let’s start with the chicken. It was fried to perfection crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, practically falling off the bone. No issues there. However, the biggest problem was the complete lack of seasoning. It tasted like it was simply floured and fried no salt, no pepper, nothing. I was so disappointed that I couldn’t even finish it and ended up giving it away. As for the waffle, it was cooked beautifully crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. It was good, but unfortunately, syrup didn’t seem to be an option. Instead, I was given something that resembled honey butter but had a strange, fruity taste and a gritty texture, which threw it off for me. Had I just received regular syrup, I think I would have enjoyed it much more. Now, let me be clear I hate that I even have to say this but this review is not meant to bash or tear down a Black-owned business. I was genuinely excited to try this place, only to walk away feeling let down. This is why I always try to dine with others when I do reviews to get a well rounded perspective. I had three other people with me, and they all enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, I just drew the short straw that day. Final thoughts: Based on my personal experience, I’d have to rate my meal 5/10 not because the food wasn’t cooked well, but because key elements of flavor were missing. That said, would I return? Yes. The food was prepared properly, and the restaurant itself had a great atmosphere. They just missed the mark on seasoning, which is crucial. I’d still encourage others to check this place out. Every dining experience is different, and just because mine wasn’t great doesn’t mean yours won’t be. Hopefully, if I visit again, my experience will be much better!”
“First time visit last night. Holy cow. Talk about amazing food. Ordered the Palmero (sp) pizza and salad. I felt like I was in Italy. The ingredients are so fresh tasting. Cant say enough about their pizza. Thin crust. Able to enjoy the pizza and not have a mouth full of bread. Fast service. Love the professionalism of the owner / bakers. They had on a chef coats and “Italy” caps. The place was extremely clean and VERY inviting. My friend that I went with used the facilités and she came out and was remarking how awesome the bathrooms even were. Def will be eating there again and again. Welcome to Trussville.”
“Nice restaurant. It’s my first time ever ordering from you all. I placed a To go order and my food was ready upon pick up! I can literally eat a whole plate of that rice by itself, it was so good and seasoned, and the chicken was tender too. I will be coming back again.”

“When I walked in the door, I was greeted by someone. I was told there would be a 5 minute wait to sit down. It didn’t take the whole 5 minutes for me and two additional people to be seated. The business was quite full but everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves, smiling and eating. As soon as we were seated a waitress took our drink orders along with our food. We received our drinks right away. It took approximately 10 minutes for us to get our food. The food was delicious. I am impressed. Great service overall. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Punchlove is one of my most favorite Birmingham coffee shops! They have incredible coffee, pastries, and non-coffee drinks! I especially love the sarcastic, seasonal menu. They have a lot of unique flavors and menu items–– I'm a big fan of the Punchies–– as well as a plethora of dairy-free drink options.
Great atmosphere with beautiful plants, and the owner is super knowledgeable about coffee. However, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're planning to do work or focus. They don't offer wi-fi and have a no laptop policy on the weekends.
Dietary restrictions: Dairy-Free”
“O' Taste & See has really set the bar when it comes to delicious soul food. The menu options, staff hospitality and size of servings are unmatched. The restaurant is about a 40 minute drive for me, but I gladly make that drive w/o hesitation. Every week I'm faced with making a decision on what to get. Everything that I've had from the liver, the fried chicken, the fried smothered pork chops, the Ox tails, to the hamburger steak, has been a 10 every time. O' Taste & See does not miss!”
“Princeton Alternative Elementary School hired Gus's to cater an outside "tailgating" experience for about 200 students, staff, and parents. Lee and his staff member exceeded our expectations. They were timely, prepared, and eager to help us in any capacity. They served everyone with a smile and pleasant attitude. Our event was a success because of the delicious food and excellent service. We are so glad to have found a partner in Gus's and look forward to having them at future events.”
“Red Sea is the Ultimate Dining Experience, I have been a Loyal Customer for years. In my humble Opinion, with the Ultimate Gumbo Alone, there is no comparison nowhere in the B’ham/Metro area!!! Sunday I took my Mother and Sisters here for Dinner after Church, and they were very Impressed. The Food was Delicious “As always”and the Service was Impeccable. Whenever I’m asked of friends and Family Or Co- workers of a Good Place to enjoy a meal RED SEA is the Place I will always Highly Recommend. Chef “B” and Staff are Awesome!!!”
“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!”
“My husband and I ate breakfast here while in Birmingham. The waiter was very hospitable and checked on us. The food was great!! It was busy but we didn't wait a long time for our food. The drive thru was busy so that was an indication the food was goodt!! This was the first time I saw a drive thru breakfast place.”
“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.”

“This is one of the hidden gems in town! Always fantastic food and I eat here at least twice a week. The service is outstanding and always friendly. Sue the hostess that works the door is amazing. She remembered my name by the second visit and always greets me with a smile?. The entire staff is unbelievable and you feel like you are eating lunch with best friends. Highly recommend!!!”
“Pathways hosted our Magic City Carnival fundraising event at Cahaba Brewery, and we couldn't be more grateful for their support! The team was incredibly accommodating, providing a fantastic space for our guests to gather and enjoy the evening. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the craft beers were a huge hit with everyone. Thank you to Cahaba for helping make our event a success and for supporting the community. We highly recommend this brewery for both casual outings and special events!”
“Food and the service are excellent. Very friendly place including customers. They also have a good variety of frozen food and sweets.
Parking: Tough to find a spot at lunch

“Our first visit won't be our last. My wife and I had the artichoke flatbread, the steak tacos, and a delicious crab cake although somewhat small. We enjoyed the entire experience. Our server was excellent; very friendly and attentive.”
“Chucks Fish in BHAM is absolutely fantastic! From sushi to steak you cannot go wrong in this place. So so good! My go to on HWY 280!”

“This place was everything. The food was delicious and the service exceeded my expectation. V, the hostess provided exceptional customer service. I will definitely make this place a #1 choice for good food, drinks, and hospitality.”
“Lots of varieties of great beers (and nothing too interpretive or head-scratching). Self-serve from the bar.Food (fried chicken) is available from next door at Gus. Pictured is a little snack, which includes fried okra and cole slaw.This was an unexpected surprise one evening before a downtown BHAM concert. Hopefully you are now aware of this awesome drinking/dining opportunity in downtown.”
“Service was absent. Waitress argued with my dad about an appetizer quality. So he refused to order any more food little did they know he was picking up the check. Food was okay. Not 5 star. Took us 4 hours to eat and get out. Waitress had 6 tables with 39 people in upscale restaurant. Been waiting years to go here. Service really was worse than Applebees”
“Gluten Free? Highly recommend the Anvil. Rather than just listing a few gluten-free options, they have an entire gluten-free menu. Also, the fish fry is amazing, as are the cocktails.”
“Recently had my Grandson’s Engagement dinner here Staff went out of their way to accommodate us Decorated table and created a romantic experience for the couple Food and service was great Highly recommend Blue Sushi!”
“tried this for the first time today. it was amazing. service was great food was so good”
“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!”
“Food is good, and won’t break the bank. Dining room is small and crowded so expect a good bit of noise. The soft shell crab bao buns are my favorite.”
“The Tuscan salmon was outstanding!! Best entree I’ve had in years, so yummy!!”
“I took my daughter for her 18th birthday. We had so much fun and the food was good. The cast did an amazing job of keeping everyone involved and laughing. I can't recommend this experience enough”
“I absolutely love this location. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I’ve dined in a couple of times but I usually go here for lunch. They have great lunch specials at reasonable prices and I can’t help but order steak on a regular basis due to it being on the lunch menu. Some of the best steak I’ve ever had!”
“Love the vibe❤️🎶, great drink, friendly attentive staff. Definitely a go to spot. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍹🍹🍷🍹🍷🍷🍹”

“I love eating dinner at Perry’s. Love the food and the atmosphere, everything is always good and fresh.”
“We had egusi soup, goat soup & samosas. The food was seasoned to perfection & there was a warm welcome!”
“Nice restaurant. You will spend about $12-13 for a plate and drink. I got the braised pork plate with the hot cheddar pasta, bread, and broccoli salad. The pasta was really good and cheesy. The servers were very friendly. It's by the federal reserve. It's cool because the bathroom entrance was the old vault. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The wait time for the food wasn't long at all; they got our food out within minutes.”
“Everything I had was great and fresh the atmosphere and energy was amazing I’ll definitely be back”
“I'm not saying City Bowls is the best thing since sliced bread, but I'm not not saying that either. I mean, have you ever had a smoothie that's so good it'll make you wanna sing? No? Just me? Okay, moving on. The pitaya, strawberry, and apple juice base was like a tropical vacation in a bowl, and the toppings were like the fun activities you do on said vacation - pineapple, mango, raspberries, blackberries, and dried goji berries, oh my! And don't even get me started on the gluten-free granola, fresh shaved coconut, honey drizzle, and bee pollen sprinkle - it was like the cherry on top of a sundae (or in this case, the bee pollen on top of a smoothie bowl). But seriously, after eating this, I felt like a new person - more alert, sharper focus, and my back and knees were like 'what inflammation?' So yeah, you guys need to try this place, it's the real deal.”
“They were very busy for a Monday at lunch time and didn't seem to have enough servers. The hostess at the front door fussed at us for not having an RSVP, so we sat in the bar. (We didn't know we needed RSVP for lunch) the food was fantastic. I had the grilled meatloaf.”
“Amazing food!
I am visiting from Florida and this restaurant was recommended as having the best Italian food in town.
I can tell that this for sure is the best Italian food that I've had probably ever.
Amazing flavor with the pasta was cooked to perfection.
The appetizer was also amazing, one of the best mozzarella sticks I've had in a long time.
Parking seems like it could be an issue of there is a lot people though were able to find spot pretty quick
The only thing that unfortunately did not go with the good experience, was the service. Our server pretty came took the left us with a bottle of water and didn't come back until we were pretty much done with out food and were dry with no water left in the bottle.
Still the next time I am in town I'll make sure to visit for amazing Italian experience.”
“I decided to have my birthday dinner here just by seeing pictures and reading reviews. Let me tell you Social did not disappoint. The amazing ambiance, atmosphere, professionalism can not be beat. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back. Great job Social keep up the great work ??????”
“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!”
“I work for The Dinner Detective and this venue hosts us 2-4 times a month. I cannot brag on the staff enough! From Todd at the door knowing each one of us and doing anything he can to help, to the front desk staff willing to print things for us or locate someone if we need them, to Bill always smiling and being friendly. But the real MVP’s are Jarvis and Damien with the staff that serves the meals and makes sure our guests receive the best experience during dinner. Damien is always there and works so hard. He knows his stuff and makes sure we have everything we need. Jarvis is so friendly and helpful. He has been so patient and dedicated as we have worked in this new partnership and has helped us troubleshoot and work through things all with a smile on his face. Without Damien and Jarvis, we would have been in a mess a few different times. They are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“I went here last night and simply had an amazing time. The other customers were all singing and dancing to the songs they were choosing, and the staff all had fantastic attitudes. It was a very welcoming environment, along with an exceptional menu. Shout out to the bartender Ryan, who made me some killer cocktails. I will recommend this place to friends, family, and coworkers. Thank you, guys, for exceeding my expectations.”
“I looooved the service here, loved the food! The little lady who brought out my food was incredibly sweet and helpful when I was deciding what to eat, then when she came out with the food she taught me how to eat it????? it was the most precious food experience I’ve ever had!”
“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!”
“This is such a cool eclectic cafe and the food is out of this world good! My husband and I love coming here! We have been twice and love it so much! Highly recommend!!!”
“The Chef need a raise like yesterday!!!!! Hand that man a check, check!!!!”
“Friendly place ( except for the rude guy with the beard, but everyone knows that's just kinda his thing), good drinks, great atmosphere. I always look forward to a visit to Lou's.”
“Jinsei Sushi very good place! Grilled edamame is so tasty, like smoky and salty, perfect! Sushi fresh and delicious, many different kinds. Staff friendly, service fast. Atmosphere nice and clean. I come back again for sure!”
“Dinner was absolutely amazing! Service was stellar. The Fleming's staff made tonight memorable from the moment O entered the building until my exit.”
“Exquisite community, exceptional homes. Especially one revisioned by master remodeler, Jason Thomas 👌”
“This place is a gem, it's not the cheapest restaurant in town but is one of the best value for money . They take pride in serving local organic food and will happily tweak dishes to suit your taste, allergies etc. We started with the quiche and a "bit of salad" which included mango, pomegranate, beetroot, peppers, avacado to name but a few. The result was amazing. My main course was strips of tuna served on asparagus with green beans and potatoes topped with a poached egg. I have stopped eating tuna in UK restaurants after some bad meals but this reminded me how good it can be. Being greedy we finished off with the famous chocolate brownie. Looking forward to the next meal there!”
“We visited this renovated food hall on our way out of Birmingham. The space itself is really cool and features some great food options. I had the poke and a bubble tea, which were both delicious. There is seating inside the hall and in the attractive patio space outside. Fun spot for a quick lunch!”
“Favorite place of ours to spend a Friday or Saturday night! Great bar tenders and great company!”
“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!”
“Great breakfast buffet that was very expensive but convenient if you are staying in the hotel. Everything was fresh and they had someone at a station making omelets and would bring it to your table if you didn’t want to wait for them to prepare it. Overall the breakfast buffet was good.
The staff was very friendly. We even came here at the end of our day for desert and enjoyed the restaurant that had a modern look and was quiet and relaxing.”
“We chose to sit outside for lunch at Grand Ticino and really enjoyed the atmosphere! James took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy with the entire experience. We had cocktails, appetizers and entrees and everything was fantastic! Our only problem was we were too full for dessert! I highly recommend! #205adventures”
“This is a must when living in or visiting Birmingham. Incredible service, atmosphere, and food. On top of that they know how to make great cocktails! It’s a hidden gem, but be ready to wait on a weekend. Absolutely worth the wait and you can have a cocktail at their bar or walk to one near. Small plates are key here unless you want Ramen. You have to try their tuna tataki, scallops, pork gyoza, and beef short rib. Either way, you can’t go wrong with anything here!”
“me n my child ate here yesterday and I had to throw up in the parking lot bc it made me sick got home and my daughter throw up all night long my child order the kids pizza I had a taco salad we get the same thing every Mexican restaurant we go to but this location is beautiful but the food made us sick”
“Dining at Mizu Japanese Steak House in Trussville was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We ordered the Alabama Roll, Volcano Roll, Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce, and Steak Fried Rice, and every bite exceeded expectations.
The Alabama Roll was fresh and flavorful, with a perfect balance of textures and tastes, while the Volcano Roll delivered a delightful kick with its bold flavors and creamy topping. Both rolls showcased expert preparation and high-quality ingredients.
The Fried Rice with Yum Yum Sauce was savory and rich, with the sauce adding a deliciously creamy finish. The Steak Fried Rice was equally impressive, with tender steak pieces cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere was incredibly immersive, transporting us into a vibrant and authentic dining experience. The ambiance paired perfectly with the sizzling grills and lively energy of the restaurant.
Our waitress was remarkably efficient and attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and our needs were met without hesitation.

“Perfect spot! My niece invited my sister and I out for her 40th birthday party. The lounge was so laid back. Good lighting, parking, and seating. Everything's set up so nice, including the bar, along with great bartenders as well. Great space for a nice party, meeting, reception, etc.”
“food is amazing and the seasoning is dead on good ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and you don't have to wait long for it to cook”
“Excellent small local bar; in fact the only proper adult bar in walking distance.
Parking: There are two small lots (free), Otherwise plenty of residential street parking.
Kid-friendliness: This is a bar. Not a kid friendly place at all.”
“I made reservations for lunch and asked for a quiet booth! It was ready when we arrived away from the crowds to my surprise! All the hostesses were very friendly and helpful to us! We immediately had a server as soon as we sat down! We ordered a fresh piping pot of black tea!! Hit the spot since it was a dreary rainy day! Ordered an appetizer for the table of 4! Wrapped letters leaves and wontons! Everyone loved! My husband got the wontons soup enough for 2 but they have a cup size also! We ordered the Orange Chicken and another dish that had noodles, shrimp and chicken and loved both! We took home food' W A great place to relax with friends and business partners! Very prompt service and clean restaurant and restrooms! Can't wait to go back and dine outside when it's warmer!!e loved the brown fried rice also!”
“Came here with my daughter for my birthday, we had Amber as our server who was exceptional! She helped us choose a fun drink to celebrate, food was wonderful, and she gave us a free tiramasu for my birthday. Go see Amber at North Italia!!”

“Staying at the UAB Hilton and went down for breakfast. Synetric greeted me and asked me how I was doing, told me about the breakfast buffet (which was a nice quality and selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, grits, oatmeal & pastries) and was able to get me my coffee to go. The other staff working was also pleasant.”

“Princeton Alternative Elementary School hired Gus's to cater an outside "tailgating" experience for about 200 students, staff, and parents. Lee and his staff member exceeded our expectations. They were timely, prepared, and eager to help us in any capacity. They served everyone with a smile and pleasant attitude. Our event was a success because of the delicious food and excellent service. We are so glad to have found a partner in Gus's and look forward to having them at future events.”
“We're not huge fans of Greek food, but we tried Tasty Town, mainly for convenience. We had planned a very packed day of sight-seeing in Birmingham on a Saturday. It seemed that hardly any eatery would be open and there wasn't time allowance to drive out of the downtown area, without being late for the next activity. Thus, we settled on a mid-afternoon lunch/dinner at Tasty Town. Honestly, both of us thought it was better than we had anticipated and the service and location were top notch. Thanks, Tasty Town! Thanks for being there, and thanks for being so good.”

“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!”
“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!”

“This was my first time at any Hattie B's. Now I know what all the talk is about. This is the best chain (maybe any kind) of bone in fried chicken I have had. You can tell it is cooked fresh. Nice crust. They offer various levels of heat. I chose medium (3rd on the scale). It was a little too hot for my liking. I will drop down to mild next time. I got the half bird so I could try both the dark and white meat. Both were good, but the dark meat wins out. The white was just a touch dry in spots (juicy overall). For sides, I got the potato salad and the black eyed pea salad. Both were good, but the potato salad wins. I wish they had hot black peas, mash potatoes with gravy, and rice as gravy as options, but they do not. They did have mac and cheese and fries as options. My friend got those and gave them high marks. Another added benefit is this chicken reheats great in an air fryer. The staff were friendly. We were there around 7:30 at night. It was a good crowd (mainly college aged) there. It is a nice area right near St. Vincent's Women and Children's Hospital.”
“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!”
“Ruby Sunshine Homewood was kind enough to donate delicious Sausage and Bacon to our brunch for Labeled and Loved Jefferson County Sisterhood Circle. We are a support group for special needs moms. The managers Marsha and Andrew were very professional .Your generosity was much appreciated❤️ See you soon!”
“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!”
“We enjoyed our super long visit today! We arrived around 10:30 to get the perfect booth for game watching. We warned our server, Marquiss, that we’d be there for a while. He took EXCELLENT care of us the entire time. He went above and beyond and he deserves some recognition ♥️”
“I stumbled across this place while waiting for my order at another establishment. i went in to check out the menu and i was able to sample the beef/lamb and the chicken!! The samples were off the chain!! i ended up ordering the Beef/Lamb Shwarma Combo with the Watermelon Smoothie. it doesnt make sense how good this food!! Adam, you and your brother got a customer for life!! - Chef Omar”
“I love this restaurant. I am a flight attendant and was in town for a layover and I decided to get brunch because I was going through a really hard time. It was actually my mom‘s death anniversary and I was struggling. I ordered brunch and a carafe of mimosas to myself and Riley (staff) actually came to talk with me and I really needed that. The staff seem to care about their jobs and their customers. Even while dealing with difficult people they kept their composure and grace. I would definitely go back if I’m in Birmingham again.”
“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly”
