Fantastic from the moment we sat. Our server Tessa was so well versed and knowledgeable on the wines and menu items. We started with a bottle of Paul Hobbs. The Angel Biscuits were unique and so delicious. We shared a huge portion of the dry aged steak and grits, both to die for. Simply outstanding! A must while in Birmingham!

Yes the food is good. The service is attentive. But it is so flipping LOUD. The wait staff were yelling. The customers were yelling at each other. Once it starts it just keeps getting worse. It was so LOUD we gave up and escaped before dessert. For that kind of money never again.
High quality food and outstanding service every time I go

Helen is a great addition to downtown Birmingham. The aestetics of the restaurant are eye-catching, the food is good, and they have interesting cocktails. Helen feels like a restaurant you would find on the corner of any major city. To be able to experience a restaurant like this in Birmingham, AL is wonderful! I'm excited to see how their menu changes with the seasons, and I for sure have to try their summer desserts!

I had the 8oz filet and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. The service was excellent as well.
Dined at Helen's for the first time last night. Our server, James, was really patient with our group as we decided what we should try. We ended up with warm angel biscuits (really yummy), hamachi crudo, steamed moosabec mussels, fall panzanella salad, crispy brussels sprouts, braised pinto beans, McEwen & sons grits, Gulf Red Snapper a la plancha, smoked Joyce farms half chicken, and the apple butter crepes.
Everyone enjoyed everything-- particularly the chicken. As a vegetarian, I had the fall panzanella salad (ok), pinto beans (ok), and a version of the grits without the ham and gravy (ok). I also tasted the Brussels sprouts (nice) but didn't eat much of them because of the anchovies in the bagna cauda. Of everything, I would say that I love to return for the biscuits and the service/ ambiance. The other items were healthy and nicely presented but forgettable. The apple butter crepes & ice cream were very sweet. We had a late reservation (8:30pm) but the staff never made us feel rushed. I would recommend.
Excellent filet; nice atmosphere with very pleasant vibe. Good wine, craft cocktails. Looking forward to return visit...

Went here for lunch. Ordered the smoked chicken thighs with white sauce as a main. Found them to be quite flavorful and tender, A+. Also had the biscuits, okra, and potatoes. Found the okra to be especially good. Rustic atmosphere and good service. Would return
Omg! Definitely a must have!!! We are incredibly picky but tonight we had an amazing dinner & drinks.
Wow. Incredible!
