“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“I took my sister here last night after we left an event we had gone to earlier that night. I loved Atomic when it was around, and I had one of my best dates there. So when I originally came to House of Found Objects (HoFO), I kept comparing it to that date and it didn’t quite live up. It was still such a cool environment that I knew my sister would love it. A different experience and expectation was exaclty what I needed to get a fresh read on the bar. We. Had. A. BLAST! We sat in the lower level, red-room and played a game while we waited for our drinks. Our server was Cat and she was so nice, helpful, and upbeat. The music choices were top notch and the drinks were delicious and adorable! The bubble machines overhead came on twice while we were there, which was so unexpected and fun. We made sure to hop in the photo booth/video booth before we left for a chance at being on the big screen. I can’t wait to go back and show other friends this amazing spot. Thanks for a good time HoFO! You make Birmingham even cooler!“

“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.“

“Everything I had was great and fresh the atmosphere and energy was amazing I’ll definitely be back“

“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.“

“Racist don't want people of color in or around his business.“

“Cool spot to see a show and have some drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and great drinks! Shout out to Princess and Ricky! Always a good time when they are working!“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“Phillips High School Alumni Week“

“One of our favorite "go-to" places!!! amazing burgers, great staff!! so welcoming and kind!!“

“Great beer quick service love it“

“All around experience was phenomenal! The name of the club was perfect, theme song for the night was "Issa Vibe". Reserved one of the birthday sections, which was beautiful. The whole club is nicely decorated, even the outdoor stage and seating area continued the nice laid back ambiance. The staff was friendly and accomadating, security was attentive and welcoming, Bando the DJ kept the vibe going reading the room well. Last but not least when the food truck opened up, we started dancing all over again when he brought the plates to wings and fries were on point.The review is a little long, but I wanted to express how much fun I had at such an awesome venue, we will definitely be back. The people, the venue, the entire staff are all a whole vibe!! Thank you, thank you and thank you, my birthday celebration was amazing!“

“Love this spot. Blend #4 is one the best beers in town, and Ryan is great behind the bar.“

“We arrived late and had a few drinks but I loved this spot. Not too big of a space, but it was very intimate, and the live music was everything. The singer and band on stage were very talented and did an excellent job on their cover of some classics. Will definitely visit again.“

“the history that is still prevalent at the API is simply astonishing to me. I absolutely LOVE all the members and their unique personality they share with each other“

“RosėRita is so good and the Wings!!!??! 😋 O-'M-'G! the wings❤ I love to get a Margarita or 3 on Taco Tuesdays they just pair so well together 👍🏼“

“Goat Popper was way too good (props to the kitchen), and we had the most charming bartender ever slingin’ the best drinks and maintaining a legit vibe all the while. I will definitely be coming back asap.“

“Been coming here since the old ownership and have been back since the new ownership. Some things have changes but it's still a great environment to get a drink and some food. Great quality liquor selection and simple quality food. Do your self a favor get the house dry rub wing, something different but will be your new favorite. It is mine.“

“If you like to get out and grab a drink from time to time this is a great place to visit! The atmosphere is unmatched compared to a few other places I've visited. It's for older crowds though it's rarely crowded; the drinks are always good and they cater to football fans.“

“amazing bartender 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗“

“Always great service and top notch selection. My wife and I consider it our favorite spot for a night cap. We actually ate dinner 5 mins from home, then drove 15 mins downtown just to come here because nowhere else would do on a special occasion.“

“I love this establishment. The atmosphere is great.“

“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!“

“Great environment for family and friends to enjoy themselves congratulation Nephew Dee good job happy belated birthday sorry I can’t make it but I always love from Unk B“

“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!“

“Great food and excellent customer service me and my daughter liked it“

“First visit here, everyone very friendly and welcoming, good grilled burgers, hot dogs, and all the extras!!! Nice Building, very clean, and had a Great band " The Real Horizon Band" with a wide variety of music, from country, to Heart, and some Great old Rock&Roll...

“I just think it's a great place. And appreciate the test strips though I've no need for them it's just being a good human to other humans and so they have my business anytime I can get down there. Thank you Dave's pub. Your a life saver. More places should take notes“

“Party all the time with Eastside Lounge“

Among that, the food was fantastic!!!I asked the burger of the month, the server said it is a bit spicy, and brought spicy sauce from the kitchen to try the spiciness, and I ate it with fries.Burger was great - juicy and well prepared, not spicy at all, recommended medium rare, french fries was well seasoned and salted, done great too.The manager and servers were very carrying, asking for preferences and how everything was, giving good recommendations and knowing their menu. Felt great haha!The dessert I took to the room, the chocolate cheesecake, was wonderful as well!!!“
