“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“

“The food is excellent and the staff is very pleasant.“

“Delicious food and very friendly employees“

“Deli deli deli!❤️❤️ me encanto , el caldito de Res uff recomendadisimo! Con este frío rico y aparte tienen un calentador y todo tapado! Súper cómodo!“

“They are a small business food truck that demonstrates nothing but exemplary customer service. My husband went by while they were in Helena for their to die for peach crumble. They were out of the dessert but they offered to make half a pan for us and said they will have it ready the next day at their next location at Shelby Baptist. I went by to pick it up and not only did they have it ready but they brought it out to me at my car. They are such nice people and I’m very happy at the customer service they display. Let’s support Battle Axe and I urge you to make it a point to go by and try all of their scrumptious food. Thank you Battle Axe.“

“I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but we ate it too fast! After crawling out of a concert, sweaty and dizzy, the waft of burger steam coming out of the food truck was like an angels chorus. My husband and I each got the Bear Burger, and I wish we had ordered more to take home for later. Fresh, melt in your mouth, insanely delicious, and ready in five minutes even so late at night. I think this burger is worth the hour and a half drive from our city, even without a concert.“

“These people worked their butts off to serve the people of Oak Grove for the community fun day. and served up the best wings I've ever eaten. 5 stars.“

“Great pizza and salad, friendly service!!“

“always friendly and great food the torta is especially good“

“I can’t stop eating it!!! #Delicious #Day4OfEatingIt“

“This is my go-to spot, no question.

When I was first looking at places before moving here, I came across this taco truck and it’s been a favorite ever since. If I don’t have much money, want a quick snack, or just need something before dinner I’m coming here.

The chicken tacos are always my go-to, and that green sauce is undefeated. For $3??? You really can’t beat it. It’s basically Taco Tuesday every day here.

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. I also love the location it’s right next to the gas station, so you can grab food and take care of what you need all in one stop.

I was never really a corn tortilla person (I always liked flour), but this place actually got me hooked on corn. That says a lot.
I usually get about 2-4 tacos and I’m good. I come here all the time and they’ve stayed consistent the entire time I’ve lived here.

I did try the street corn once because everyone in line was getting it, but it just wasn’t really for me I’ll stick to my tacos. I do wish they had shrimp tacos though, that would be a game changer.

Overall, I love this place. If you want good tacos and you’re hungry, you really can’t beat $3 tacos.“

“This is my favorite place for pupusas. That family is super kind and welcoming. The pupusas are made fresh and are so delicious. I tried Salvadorian Horchata for the first time here and it was so delicious. 10/10 recommend. I will be returning all the time.“

“We had egusi soup, goat soup & samosas. The food was seasoned to perfection & there was a warm welcome!“

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

“Bought beignets on recommendation of a friend that they were wonderful, was not impressed. Thought that their apple fritters, and cake donuts were very good.“

“Best food around! Great staff, spotlessly clean and well maintained, and of course amazing food. Highly recommended the smash burger!“

“Ordered 4 chicken tacos & 4 steak tacos...I will say not enough sauce to even put on your tacos...very dry with the sauce provided. I got the green and red sauce (2 each provided) for 8 tacos; oh, and a steak burrito w/o beans. Was not very satisfying for the money spent. Please ask for a LOT of sauce if you get this order...I mean a lot.“
