“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!”

“This is one of our favorite spots in town. The food and service has never disappointed!”

“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! 🙌”

“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 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!”

“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.”

“Best Cajun food in Birmingham HANDS DOWN. Authentic food, great portions, friendly staff. Haven’t had a single thing that wasn’t delicious!”

“Delicious 🤤 authentic halal food 🍱”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Best service and food it was our first time we will definitely be back!”

This is one of the more clean locations and it typically is one of the less crowded locations too which makes getting in and out a breeze.”

“Good quality service good service”

“offer online ordering and/or phone in service. Store near UAB, very rude. was told 2 different things, while frnds husband in hospital. I dont recommend the one near UAB, 6th St. Bad customer service! not @ the above address, this one is at UAB area...”

“Best service and food it was our first time we will definitely be back!”

“Very quick. Great place to grab a quick Burger they were fairly busy because there's not too many places that was open at that time so, they got a good thing going on here”

“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!”

“The icecream machine was working. I got one ice cream cone. It was delicious”

“I was presently surprised. I normally go through the drive through but we decided to dine in for the first time ever in the 20+ yrs I've lived in this area. The food was freshly prepared, service was good & restaurant was clean & looked newly remodeled.”

“Please make sure to have the kids play area open more than 1x a week for families that do have smaller kids ... definitely a turn off when coming to the restaurant....”

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!”

“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!”

“This place is awesome. The vibes are good and bartenders are so nice. Drinks are spectacular and creative.”

“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.”

“Best Thai food in Alabama”

“Even got a cool 😎 magic show! Everyone was friendly! Good food.”

“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”

“I’ve always had a great experience at this location! The young ladies that work in the afternoon are always kind and welcoming and they always have a smile on their faces! The dessert options that I personally come for are always in stock and they are consistently delicious. I will drive out of my way to get my desserts from the Trussville location! You guys are killing it!”

“The service was excellent! Love their gluten free options.❤️”

“I co-hosted their hot dog eating contest one year. I love this place.”

“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!!”

“Chance was good and the food was great!”

“This by far is my favorite place to eat and drink. If your looking for an ice cold beer, glass of wine or a cocktail handed to you by the best bartenders - this is your place! Best sandwiches and soup. Incredible bar to hang out and chill.”

“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.”

“Excellent food and service 😊”

“Very nice place to have a drink and meet friends!!!”

“Great place to do Pilates 💛”

“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 ^^”

“The first time there today got a Philly cheesesteak and I’m gonna tell you. It was really good. The bowtie pasta is good now I gotta try the calzone highly recommend. Love the atmosphere.”

“I love the deviled eggs and the muffins! Of course the BBQ is delicious but the Pies are a must try! The staff is very prompt and courteous. I use curbside to pick up dinner and it’s convenient especially with all the traffic on 280.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“Randy did a great job serving at the bar and the drinks she made were ???.”

“My partner and I were in town from California and this place is the ticket for true coffee consumers. Clean space with a great vibe . The coffee is fantastic and the staff is spot on and friendly. Can t wait to return. Thanks guys”

“Great food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend!”

“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!!!”

“A Birmingham bar must do, just to see if it suits you. HOFO, in all it's hallucinatory glory, certainly suited us (or vice versa) and we will be back on this long weekend trip. Meet a regular with a drink named after them if you can and get them a shot (or drink of preference).”

“Every visit = perfection. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with the Burrata, Kale Caesar, and Calamari!”

“I ordered liver and onions, sweet potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread today for my dinner. It was absolutely delicious and I even have some left for tomorrow. I definitely recommend everyone try the food.”

“It was our first time here but won't be our last! The food was delicious! The service was very good! You won't be disappointed!!”

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!”

“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”

“I can’t stop thinking about that chicken. Went to Bham for work and walked there twice to get it. Now I’m Finna fly back to Alabama just to have it again!”

“Philly breakfast wrap and Saturday grits! Best breakfast ever! Best service!”

“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”

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

“Love this place and the owners!!! Such a wonderful business.”

“I ordered meals for my daughter and her husband after the birth of their daughter. It was the perfect thing for new parents who are learning to navigate a new chapter of their lives. The meals are delicious and very affordable.”

“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!”

“We had tasty burritos. Mine was a fine mushroom and pork one. The atmosphere is quite good. And the wait staff is friendly. Will be going back for more. Recommended for certain.”

“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!”

“Delicious food and very friendly employees”

“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!!!!”

“The food is excellent. The service is great wonderful chicken salad chicken wrap. Everything was delicious.”

“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!”

“Amazing! My wife and I love it here!”

“Took my best friend Debbie here for her birthday. Loved it. Wonderful wait staff. We just came back on 6-11-26 and the food was delicious and Shannon was a wonderful server. Loved it.”

“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 love the deviled eggs and the muffins! Of course the BBQ is delicious but the Pies are a must try! The staff is very prompt and courteous. I use curbside to pick up dinner and it’s convenient especially with all the traffic on 280.”

“Even got a cool 😎 magic show! Everyone was friendly! Good food.”

“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 ♥️”

“Amazing food, environment, and service by Cody was awesome!”

“Breakfast always good and prompt. Coffee is hot and plentiful. Service is 5 star. Highly recommend Rebecca Whitmire!”

“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.

“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.”

“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”

“Amazing atmosphere and the food is so good! 10/10 recommend!! Me and my son loved it!”

“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!”

“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.”

“The vibes are immaculate! The only downside is that the food is overpriced and small portion, but it is delicious. The coffee is great though (the miso caramel latte was fun to try), and the barista Gracie is super kind!”

“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. ❤️❤️”

“Great selection of bourbon 🥃”

“Pit stopped heres on my way from the world cup in atlanta. Super cute location, amazing tiki mugs ans glassware, i took some half pours of some plantaray special releases. The banana pina colada rips, i wish i couldve tried the midori frozen drink. Service was fine. Lovely selection of rums, shots, shareables, and cocktails, phenomenally executed cocktails.”

“This is a cool little Yemeni cafe with loads of vegan options. It is the case full of pastries that keeps me coming back though. So many delicious items. Sometimes they only have a handful of vegan desserts but tonight they had probably at least a dozen. All of them looked amazing and decadent. We ended up getting the chocolate pb bomb, the apple caramel cheesecake and the raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. The chocolate pb bomb was TO DIE FOR! I wish they had it all the time. It is a chocolate cake with thick layers of peanut butter mousse and topped with chocolate ganache. The other two were also very delicious. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-02”

“Absolutely delicious coffee and the concha was 😋 love the vibe & definitely will be my go to coffee place next time I'm in B'ham!”

“Fantastic wings, great price, great quality overall. We got honey BBQ and spicy peach and they were great. Cajun ranch fries were also awesome. Kiki bu got me through the afternoon.”

“Food was hot and fresh with large portions. The hibachi rice all the way is top tier! Had it with catfish and it was seasoned well.

We had the kool aid which tasted like it’s classic form and the keylime cake which wasn’t my favorite but it’s provided by a vendor we learned.”

“El Royale Cafe was a whole vibe the food was good the drinks were definitely on point the atmosphere was awesome 5/5”

“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!”

“Highly recommend!! The drinks were delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back!!”

“Top notch customer service! Greatly appreciate the sweet angel barista who made a fabulous lavender fog latte and ginger mint mocktail and then brought out the biohazard kit like a true professional. Ten out of ten. Great place to ... 😅😬”

“Great local black bar….love the vibes and drinks….they don’t serve food but they keep food trucks in rotation so don’t worry bout it, just drink and enjoy the vibes”

“Amazing smash burger! Definitely the best I’ve tried yet! Not bashing five guys burgers but I believe this place imo takes the title hands down! It would be nice if there was more Joyland restaurant locations! Service was awesome here in Birmingham!! Definitely will be back!!!”

“I have a good experience at every 7 Brew location I visit. There can be a long line at peak times but they are still always fast and friendly. Plus this music blasting outside and the door vibes always make it fun. I always order coffee but have heard their energy drinks are tasty as well!”
