“Went to Amore tonight for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter, Robert, was outstanding explaining the specials of the day and suggesting a great wine which really complimented our dinner of shrimp and lobster linguine which was cooked to perfection. Our dessert of crème brûlée was spectacular! The best meal we have had in a while and I highly recommend Amore for a truly enjoyable experience.”

“We are visiting Birmingham this weekend for the Lake Street Dive show tomorrow. Restaurant Week led us to OvenBird. Last night we ordered the Tomato Salad, Hanger Steak and Roasted Chicken. Among the best, most delicious meal we’ve ever had. The Tomato Salad is over the top delectable. Chris, our server, welcomed us to the restaurant and to Birmingham with informative, gracious service. Highly recommended!”
“It is without a doubt, a great French bakery in Birmingham. The cream fillings, cherry filling / compote, the rich dark bold flavors of chocolate. You can taste the quality of ingredients and the skill that went into each dessert.
The flakiness of the crossaints, the crunch in every bite and to top it off,the burst of creme. With all the fillings, creams or fruit, you can still taste the butter.
There was a very long line as there should be. This location delivers as it promises! 🙌”
“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.”
“We came for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was our 1st time eating here. Our server was Bishop. Bishop was amazing....staring woth the glass of celebratory champaign, picking a perfect wine pairing, explaining the dishes, great sense of humor....he helped make our experience fun and memorable. The food....OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection! From the bread, Amuse Bouche, appetizer (great fried green tomatoes, by the way!!!) Intermezzo, main course (ribeye and braised rabbit), and dessert with coffee....every step was amazing! A truly wonderful sensual experience from all the aromas, flavors, and ambiance. We will definitely be back, and will definitely recommend Cafe DuPont to others. Thank you for making our celebration special!”

“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.”
“Johin’na is a dazzling new gem in Birmingham’s vibrant culinary scene! From the moment you step through the door, you’re immersed in an atmosphere that promises a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The decor is a breathtaking fusion of creativity and elegance, unlike anything else in the city—every detail is thoughtfully curated to spark wonder and delight. The staff’s warmth and hospitality take the evening to extraordinary heights. We were incredibly fortunate to have founder Chef Amber step out of the kitchen to serve as our guide for the night. Her deep knowledge of the menu and infectious passion for the dishes made our choices effortless and exhilarating. Her expertly recommended pairings perfectly complemented our tastes, transforming each course into a culinary adventure. Adding to the magic, we had the privilege of chatting with founders Executive Chef Ashley and Shun Love, whose vision and warmth made us feel like family. We’ve never felt more welcomed in a restaurant! Beyond their culinary genius and gracious hospitality, the sisters and their mother are absolutely stunning, radiating charm and grace that elevate the entire experience. Every dish we savored was a masterpiece, bursting with bold, innovative flavors that showcase the creative spirit of Johin’na’s kitchen. The meticulous attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impeccable, leaving us eager to return and explore more of the menu. Johin’na isn’t just a meal—it’s a soulful experience that lingers long after the last bite. Birmingham is beyond lucky to have this treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“Where can you go in the middle of the night after everything is closed? Waffle House. I ordered my pecan waffles and was greeted as soon as I went in the door and seated at a booth. The staff was friendly, helpful, and quickly took my order and served me my waffles. I will definitely recommend this place and will be back.”
“One of the best Krystal's I have been to. The burgers were, as everyone stated are SPOT on. The fries not so much. The taste wasn't the Krystal fries I'm used to. But I don't go for the fries. Next just get more burgers and I will be fine. The soda? Again, just like I remember. The staff was very busy...but not enough to greet you and let you know you matter. All the above means, next time I'm near it is a stop! And did I mention, I was on a trip home and the location is the best on,off,order,and back on! Keep it up!”
“Burger King delivers the classic fast-food experience many of us know and love, with flame-grilled burgers that stand out from the typical drive-thru fare. The signature Whopper remains the highlight — juicy, smoky, and topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and that bold sauce. The flame-grilled flavor really sets it apart from competitors and gives the burgers a more robust taste.
Fries are crispy and salty, perfect with a shake or dipped in ketchup, and the variety on the menu means there’s something for everyone, whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, chicken nuggets, or a breakfast croissan’wich to start your day. Burger King also offers value deals and combo meals that make it a wallet-friendly choice for quick lunches or family dinners on the go.”
“My husband and I stop by here at least once a work and the food is usually good and correct but they can be so slow sometimes. But we love the guy who works the window early in thr mornings usually around 6am.. he is always so friendly and he knows us as soon as we pull up lol”
“Believe it or not. For the 1st time in years!!!!!!! I got great service, food and customer service at a McDonald's!!!!!!?
Went for breakfast yesterday morning, I ordered my favorite fruit and made oatmeal ?
It was delicious!!! ?
JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!!! ???
I'll be working out that way now, so if the service continues,...............I'LL BE BAAAAACK!!!”
“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!!”
“This past weekend, we went to Pizza Grace because the original owners sold it to the owners of Big Spoon Creamery. So, out of fear and curiosity, we wanted to see if our favorite pizza place was still our favorite pizza place. Let’s just start. The garlic bread they switched the focaccia with pizza dough, spread fairly thin so it was light and crispy and they swapped the garlic oil for garlic butter with herbs. This was actually really good! We both enjoyed it and thought the flavor of the butter was way better than the original garlic olive oil spread. However, I think they should have kept the focaccia bread and just swapped the olive oil with the garlic and herb butter. That would have been an easy 10/10. But unfortunately, even though it was still very good, it gets an 8.5/10. The pizza itself was still basically the same. We got the pepperoni pizza. Upon arrival and tasting, we could tell they cut back on the red pepper flakes, which we were both happy about. Our main issue was the fact that we could tell, visually, the pizza was smaller and not as big as it used to be. We didn’t like that we were paying basically the same price for less pizza. I’d recommend either making the pizzas bigger again or lowering the price. This also would have been a 10/10, but we’re taking off points for the pizza being visibly smaller and giving it a 9.5/10. For dessert, I got the Big Spoon Bar, which has fior di latte, salted caramel, TCHO chocolate, sea salt, and hazelnut in it. No notes here easy 10/10. I literally could not complain. First bite was heaven! All in all, this was very good with only a few minor disappointments. Is this still my favorite pizza place? Yes. Will I return? Yes, I will but I also think it depends on whether they adjust the price or return the pizza to its original size. That’s literally just how we feel since we’ve been going there for years. I highly recommend you guys go check this place out. Tell them I sent you! #PizzaGrace #foodie #foodreview #bhamfoodie #pizzalovers #pizza”

“Caroline really makes this Hattie B’s a wonderful experience right from the very start! She is kind and is so helpful explaining the menu! First impression 11/10! I ordered the sandwich with a side of bacon grits and both were fantastic! I would highly recommend coming here if you visit Nashville. On the flip side, if you ever happen to find yourself in Maine, come visit me at Morning Moose Coffee! You won’t be disappointed!”
“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.”

“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.”
“We love Oak House! Amazing food and atmosphere. It’s our go to date night spot since moving to the area.”

“Been meaning to try this place out for a while, and finally had the time to today! Such a cute atmosphere, the staff was super friendly, and the service was quick! Not terribly crowded at all, and everyone there was just chill and having a good time by the looks of it. I will be returning when I can! The iced coffee I got was also very scrumptious, just what I needed this morning ^^”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First Visit – Absolutely Incredible! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the staff made us feel right at home from the start. But the highlight of the night? The food—hands down some of the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. Every bite was full of rich, authentic flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are top-quality. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. This place is a true gem and we’re already planning our next visit. If you haven’t been yet you’re missing out!”
“My husband and I often eat at the Metro Diner Trussville, AL location, because the food is excellent, and the staff is amazing. So, when he said he was going to order our Thanksgiving dinner from them, I was not surprised. And, y'all, it was EXCELLENT! A lot of food for a reasonable price, and everything tasted delicious. Plus there was plenty for leftovers. I know who we'll be having to cater our Christmas dinner. 😀”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“The girl who was there one night when they ran out of the cookie I wanted managed to get me something even better that night. I thank her. She was so kind. Love Crumbl.”
“Crumbl Cookies in Birmingham offers a fun and indulgent cookie experience that has quickly gained a devoted following. Known for its rotating weekly menu of freshly baked cookies, the shop keeps things exciting with classic flavors like Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Peanut Butter, alongside creative seasonal specials. Each cookie is soft, chewy, and generously sized, often served warm for maximum enjoyment.
The variety is one of Crumbl’s biggest draws, catering to both traditional tastes and adventurous flavor seekers. Options like Churro, Snickerdoodle, and specialty cheesecake-inspired cookies provide a sweet treat that’s both comforting and Instagram-worthy.”

“I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock”
“This is on me first time in Erin definitely helped out great customer service for someone lost viewing the menu
Got classic cheese burger with the 1/2-1/2
Suggestion onion rings and fries Coke
Great cheese burger fries and rings
Total surprised me
Less than most fast food places
I always state that I have over 50 years of food service experience have to add management was busy serving the tables”
“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.”
“I just have to take a moment to brag on K&J’s Elegant Pastries because they made my baby girl’s 4th birthday so incredibly special. When I say this cake brought tears to my eyes, I mean it. The soft pink Paw Patrol theme, sweet little Skye on top, the custom “4,” the beautiful bow, the tiny details — it was everything my daughter dreamed of and more. Seeing her face light up when she saw it is a moment I’ll never forget. 🩷 It wasn’t just a cake… it was the centerpiece of her day. It made her feel celebrated, loved, and so big turning FOUR. 🥹 Not only was it stunning, but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The cake was moist, flavorful, and a huge hit with both kids and adults. We received so many compliments and everyone kept asking where we ordered it from. Thank you, K&J’s Elegant Pastries, for putting so much care and talent into making her day unforgettable. You didn’t just make a cake — you helped create a core memory for our family. Forever grateful 💕✨ #PawPatrolParty #4thBirthday #GratefulMama #SupportSmallBusiness”

“Laura, Linda and Jenny had a lunch meeting in November 2025 and enjoyed their buffet. Then, they joined us as a Feed BHM partner which means they give all their food overages to care for the people of Birmingham. Support great people who love our city!”
“Excellent service & food. We will be back. The restaurant was cozy and clean and quite Italian interior. Would be good for a date night. The server allowed my Mom & I to split an entree. The sides were a la carte with pasta dishes. They have plenty of salads but I would suggest they add something like green beans to the menu...a green vegetable besides salad. The bread was soft and tasty. I would suggest spaghetti noodles vs rigatoni/penne for the chicken parm but chicken was great.”

“I had the opportunity to patronize Slide Cafe this past weekend. It was Valentine's Day weekend, so I expected a longer wait time. I decided to order on-line to help minimize the wait. My order was placed 10:26 and would be ready by 10:41 a.m. The email stated to come to the pickup counter once my order was ready. I arrived at 10:40 and looked for a pick-up station but I didn't see that area to directly go to. I found an "order here" area with individual kiosks that allowed for ordering prior to sitting. I walked near the bar and was greeted, asked did I have a to-go order and my food was bagged and ready as promised. Service and speed were on point. The previous location was smaller, so I was excited to see the newer location. The popularity of the business has grown in the Birmingham community so it's grand to see the business elevate upward as well! The decor was amazingly designed, with black and white colors with an accent of yellow. This instantly created a warming spirit from within. There was ample seating, some located near the window which I loved. The remaining seating areas were spaced out great and even had a seating in a separate section that could host a wedding party, baby shower or birthday celebration. The restaurant offers a different ordering vibe, as mentioned earlier with the kiosks. There was a host present to assist with menu explanations, suggestions and order processes. I think this is smart, to prevent people from ordering errors and skipped bills, allowing the customer to be directly in charge of what the kitchen sees. There are plenty of options like, sauce on the side, omit and add items during ordering. There are some menu items that are specifically crafted by the chef so no modifications can be made to these items. However, so many items are available that something that may be wanted may be purchase a la carte. The kitchen receives the order electronically and the guest is given a number to place on their table. There are servers to bring the food to the table as well. The owners are the final point of expediting, which is brilliantly done. They provide the final quality control before the meal reaches the guest. This remains me of Gordon Ramsey service because if it doesn't meet Chef Racquel's standards, it's not going out! With a name like Slide Cafe, the menu does include different brunch or lunch slider options, like steak and eggs (steak=brisket), chicken & waffle slider and break-fast slide with bacon and Conecuh sausage! How about a burger, grilled chicken or crab cake slider if breakfast is not on your mind. Omelets, breakfast platters (small or large), seafood options like shrimp or salmon and grits, pork chop & gravy, signature hash skillets topped with various house-made sauces and vegan options as well! Bottled soda, tea and lemonade were available as well as a full bar for mimosas and mixed drinks. They even have a soul food menu on the weekend with whole fried okra, lamb chops, jerk oxtails and more. I think that is perfect to take home if you come to dine in for brunch! Now, let's take about the food. I ordered the Catfish and grits, Chicken and Gravy slider w/ a fried egg and cheese and a House Lemonade. My total was less than $30, which I feel is ok with the amount of food provide. The slider was packaged in a Styrofoam container. The Catfish & Grits were accented nicely with parsley garnish is a plastic meal-prep container, perfect to reuse for something else. The slider, yes, amazing any day. They are called sliders, but they really are sandwiches! The chicken breast was seasoned in and out, fried beautifully, crispy and juicy. The biscuit was definitely homemade and moist, fluffy, yet firm to hold everything together. I ordered the gravy on the side, which came in a 4-6-ounce bowl and used a dunking action to indulge. The gravy is homemade, rich and peppery. 10/10! The lemonade was not just powered Country Time lemonade. There was a real tangy and not overly sweetness to it. I drink some of it down and adde”
“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!”
“Went with my wife and had an incredible experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. Everything exceeded expectations — a true 5-star experience. We will absolutely be coming back.”
“Every time I come home I want to come both here and Bright Star. The food is great as well as the service and the Sarris family has earned every dime they make! My favorite is seasonal, the bbq shrimp and grits and the whole flounder is amazing.”

“We had a great time tonight for Valentine’s Day. The food and drinks were wonderful and we really appreciated the atmosphere and roomy table distances. Will definitely be back.”
“Every visit = perfection. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with the Burrata, Kale Caesar, and Calamari!”

“Small place, but very nice and they’ve made awesome use of additional outdoor seating. The menu is small, but extremely well thought out and delicious! We had the smash burger and the French dip. Regular fries and the truffle fries, cheese sticks, and a delicious salad. It was 10/10!”
“I have been looking for an authentic Italian restaurant since I left my home town in Italy and I finally found Le’ Fresca! I felt like I was home again! Marco, the food and his staff are amazing! Highly recommend going there! We’ll be going back very often!”
“I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s my favorite one in town. Always an incredible dining experience from start to finish, amazing food, and incredible service. You will not be disappointed!”
“Had a great time here! Had the smoked chicken quesadilla and the strawberry and dragonfruit agua Fresca and it DID NOT disappoint! Had an amazing server (Aspen) who was happy to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of the meal. The booths are a bit uncomfortable because the tables don’t overlap the seats very well, but other than that, this place is a must-try!”
“Rude, and slow. Wait times are too long, and employees serve you based on how loud and frequently you complain instead of how long you've been there. Also helps if you're POC. They're the only ones who seemed to have gotten out in less than 20 minutes consistently.”
“We had egusi soup, goat soup & samosas. The food was seasoned to perfection & there was a warm welcome!”
“Last night I went there beautiful place relaxing Friendly place. I will come again. 10/10”
“This restaurant is highly recommended. The pasta and pizza are both classic. The server, Ryan, was also very professional. I really enjoyed the food and service here. The only slight drawback is that the host at the front desk could improve their seating service. 👍”
“Great service and great drinks! Shout out to Princess and Ricky! Always a good time when they are working!”
“The manager, Art , noticed that I seemed to be chilly and was hugging myself . I was seated under an air-conditioning vent and he came over and told me he had adjusted the thermostat and offered me a shawl which turned out to be soft, black and lovely and made all the difference so that my meal was quite enjoyable. I've never had such personal attention and I loved it!”
“I ordered for the first time, but by DoorDash tonight. Everything was super yummy. The miso soup was very good!”

“Especially enjoy the brunch, but we have eaten dinner there as well. Outdoor seating on a pretty Saturday morning is my favorite. They have a nice charcuterie board and it is a great way to enjoy happy hour.”

“Met for a Birthday Dinner for my wife and daughter, yes they have the same Birthday. No wait for a booth in the Tavern. We took it, table was being cleaned off. I asked if we could have that booth when she finished, she said yes of course. We ordered steak, French onion soup, crab dip, burgers, chicken sandwich. Everything was perfect, what I was not prepared for was Paige T, she was spot on, anticipating our every need. Absolutely pleasant to speak to and watch her work the tables around us. She is Good Really Good!!!!! She made our night and hour and half drive home worth the trip. Great Job Paige!!!! Atta Girl for you. We will definitely be back.”
“wonderful atmosphere, friendly owners, both John and Eric are great! amazing drinks that change seasonally and the best food truck ever, try the Brussels!!”
“It's already got a "'Nick' name", lol, pun intended. To be around for such a short time and already be addressed so affectionally says it all.”
“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.”
“Jackie recommended Blue Cheese, I now love Blue Cheese. I have to have it on everything…”

“A friend brought me to dinner here tonight. I relocated to Birmingham a few years ago and had been meaning to dine with you so when my friend asked where I said ‘The Fish Market.’ Well, not only was the food fantastic but your staff was incredible. Our server was a lady named Precious. I have never felt such hospitality from a server. It is hard to describe but she made me feel as though she was eager to help yet didn’t want us feel rushed. It was a genuinely wonderful dining experience and I’m not one to yammer on with recommendations. 😂 Additionally, the bartender (my apologies but I didn’t get her name) delivered my drink to ensure it did not get watered down. That level of service is practically unmatched. Please know you have two wonderful team members in Precious and the bartender. Well done!”
“Delicious chicken tenders we had,very fresh and crispy..Bobba tea was top notch..very clean and lit place !! Highly recommended”
“Super fun retro arcade/bar. Bartenders are super friendly. They have outdoor games too. Can’t wait to come back!!”

“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!!!!”

“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!!”
“I had such a beautiful birthday dining experience at Brock’s, and I absolutely had to leave a review. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, everything felt warm, elevated, and intentional.
The lamb chops were cooked to perfection — medium, exactly the way I requested them — tender, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The au gratin potatoes (white & sweet)were rich and comforting and were absolutely divine. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.
I also enjoyed the roasted red pepper soup and ended the evening with the berry trifle dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish to a wonderful meal. You can tell care goes into both the presentation and the quality of the food.
What made the evening even more special was the exceptional service from Kat. She was attentive, kind, professional, and helped make my birthday dinner feel genuinely celebrated. I truly appreciated the signed birthday card and the extra touches that made the experience feel personal instead of rushed or routine.
In a time when great customer service can sometimes feel rare, Brock’s delivered both outstanding food and hospitality. I left feeling full, celebrated, and grateful for such a memorable evening.
Highly recommend, and I will definitely return.”
“Dinner was absolutely amazing! Service was stellar. The Fleming's staff made tonight memorable from the moment O entered the building until my exit.”
“If you’re looking for great food, good music and amazing drinks. This is your spot! The atmosphere is immaculate and the vibes are bar none.”

“My friends and I went to SUMO sushi to celebrate a birthday. We were met with such personable staff members. Joy, our waitress, was so precious and often met our comments with an enthusiastic "yes." The food was delicious and the value for quantity was wonderful! An entree meal included a protein, a salad, a soup, noodles, vegetables, and rice for around $24. Thank you SUMO for the wonderful experience!”
“Absolutely the Best Brisket I've had since 10 years ago at Carnegie Deli in NYC (Now Closed). The truck came to Greystone yesterday. We bought a Brisket and a Pastrami, but we couldn't finish the 2 inch Brisket. It was tender and not fatty and was delicious. We are going to eat the Pastrami tonight. The fries were good too. Total cost was $38.”
“Mario is super responsible and dependable any time our company needs his help serving children at local elementary students! He is quick at getting the children their favorite ice creams and we so appreciate all that he does to help us! The kids love it when he comes to their school!”

“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!”

“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 ♥️”
“Colette was a very good server. Food was above average. Bloody Mary wasn't worth the $10.00. However, we get our bill and we are being charged $2.00, a piece, for a biscuit..... WTH??? The menu never mentioned an additional charge for a biscuit, toast, or etc... I even told the brunette waitress that looked like a manager but she was probably the dishwasher. We love the Frothy monkey too but I think you just lost some customers. PM me if like”
“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.”
“Caroline really makes this Hattie B’s a wonderful experience right from the very start! She is kind and is so helpful explaining the menu! First impression 11/10! I ordered the sandwich with a side of bacon grits and both were fantastic! I would highly recommend coming here if you visit Nashville. On the flip side, if you ever happen to find yourself in Maine, come visit me at Morning Moose Coffee! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Today was my first visit..the freshness of the food and the environment was great. I got a bowl (chicken & steak). The steak was too tough for my liking. However, the flavors in the bowl made.me just put it to the side. Next time I'll stick with chicken and ill have to try the glazed salmon. I will be back.”
“Great experience there today during what was an Incredibly busy lunch rush with the teacher conference going on. It took a while to get seated but they were very polite and once we ordered the food came out fairly quickly and was Fantastic. Our table had a burger; a pasta dish and a combo plate. Everything was perfect and our waitress was friendly.”
“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 had a nice lunch on the patio and enjoyed our coffees and sandwiches. The cortado was not sweet, ymmv, and the cold brew was good, not weak nor very acrid. We enjoyed a Japanese egg salad sando, a schmancy BLT, and this avocado toast with a medium-fried egg that was fantastic. The service was great and they also offer pastries from the nearby Last Call Bakery that looked delicious. It was a little pricey, thus the 4-star. Despite this, we already have plans to return.”
“Walking around 5 points looking for a place to eat. Everywhere else was 20+ minute wait. I was in and outta here within 10 minutes w honey bbq wings & steak quesadilla combo for under $15. Young man upfront very polite and professional. Nowhere to sit inside, takeout only, Great quesadilla, good flavor & crisp to wings. The new late night goto spot!”
“Great atmosphere. So glad there's another place like this in Birmingham! Great Coffee, great pastries, and fantastic entertainment. Can't wait to come back for a show to try some of their cocktails! After hearing about the owners sister who was killed by a metra train, it's so inspiring to see her keep thriving and keeping her sister's memory alive. ❤️❤️”
“The burgers and fries are always fresh and deliciously crafted. I order online and pick up for my husband's (and my) dinner an average of once a week. My husband never gets tired of it and would rather have a burger from Craft Burger than from any other restaurant in town!”
“Overall good. The food was good. The person who took my order was nice. Only reason I gave it 4 stars, is because of the atmosphere. The bathroom definitely needs some adjustment. Usually in coffee shops, the bathroom is nice. This one needs some love. Our first time here. Thanks for the good food. 🥰”

“What a gem of a find! The cuisine was exceptional and the presentation perfect . Thank you for a wonderful dining experience La Fête! We will return.”
