“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 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!“

“Came on a Saturday with my boyfriend and the place was dead, which is shocking because this place is AMAZING!! Everything from the service to the food was A1. We started with the lemon pepper wet wings, which were really good but the sauce was a little too thick for my liking. For drinks, I ordered the Seascape and my boyfriend ordered the Magnolia’s Point, both of which were delecious. For our entrees, he ordered the shrimp and grits and I ordered the fried oyster platter which came with 2 sides, so I got a loaded baked potato and the side salad which I made some tweaks to. Neither one of us had any complaints about our food! If you’re looking for a lowkey spot for lunch/dinner with a great atmosphere, great service, and great food/drinks, this is definitely the place! Shoutout to our amazing waitress Irina for everything!!“

“All-time new favorite place! Can’t say enough great things—beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that feels like you drifted into a European country cottage with lush, greenery everywhere: friendly, attentive staff; refreshing cocktails; food was to die for, bold, rich flavors, especially the crab cakes and burger! 10/10“

“My 1st time visiting here, went with cousins, we all had a great time. It’s very beautiful inside & out back. Totally exceeded my expectations especially in decor. Bartenders were nice but the drinks are very small. I don’t like having to pay average prices for a tiny cup. The music & sound system was excellent! Security had great presence throughout. The later it gets, the younger the crowd gets. I love the pool & beautiful led lights thru out. Spacious.“

“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.“

“I love the friendly atmosphere. The chicken plate is Bumping and oh, my Bartender makes the Slamming Bob Marley drinks, so if you want to relax and chill this the low key spot to be. Trackside hun“

“You walk in the door and this incredible scent lures you upstairs to the coolest Japanese bistro I've ever seen. Pick up the phone in the phone booth to gain passage to a legit 1920s speakeasy. Beautiful music playing, cocktails. I never want to leave.“

“Was looking g for a place for a quick old fashioned. This place was recommended and did not disappoint. Great little place“

“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.“

Also the bottle girls were very professional and sociable!! I cant wait to return to this awesome establishment!! I had an amazing time!!! Thank you to the owner for showing love to our section!!“

“Even with this bar not even open a single day I give this place a five star rating. Eric is such a fantastic bartender and makes some awesome drinks. Can’t wait to be a regular.“

“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.“

“We just had the best breakfast EVER! It started with the excellent service from the greeting we received when we walked in the door to our fabulous waitress Brianna. It’s getting harder and harder to find good service but this place excels in this area. On top of the service the food is delicious. We had the French Toast stuffed with peaches which was Amazing and the Hot Chicken and French Toast Bites - FABULOUS!!! We highly recommend this restaurant. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!!“

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.“

“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.
