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!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Like their food/atmosphere but dang in the last 2-3 weeks their pizzas got smaller! They used be like 16" now they're like 10" and same price and no explanation!!! Disappointed.“

“We stopped in for lunch,while visiting Trussville, Alabama. The establishment was clean and quite tidy even with the high volume of customers. We did enjoyed a delicious meal. My hubby ordered the Fat boy burrito and I two tacos(cheezy beef and redneck) both are served with chips and salsa. We each enjoyed a refreshingly tasty margarita, a perfect compliment to the meal. The staff was friendly, polite, and attentive to customers. We much appreciated the delicious and relaxing lunch, after our travels.“

“Great pizza and salad, friendly service!!“

“Great place to have an event! Kristin and her staff are awesome! Highly recommend“

“Friendly taproom with a welcoming vibe, dog-friendly atmosphere, and a wide selection of well-crafted beers. Favorite spot before a a Baron’s game.“

“The staff is always super nice!! The Gooey Butter cake is the best ice cream I've ever had!!“

“Wow, wow, wow. When I asked the waiter, how long the restaurant had been there, I was almost mad at myself when he told me it has been in Birmingham eight years. Why didn’t I find this place sooner? I went with my sister and my brother-in-law for dinner, we felt like we were eating in the French quarter. It’s the best Cajun food I’ve had north of New Orleans. You must try the shrimp, poor boy, better yet get the surf and turf because the roast beef will blow your mind. My sister and I also had the gumbo, the hush puppies are Devine, succotash was really good, and oh my wonderful tastebuds, the muffaletta was something like you would have on Bourbon Street. If you like Cajun food, this place has great food and a fun environment with lots of outdoor seating. Dog friendly to boot! I highly recommend that you try this at least once if you live in Birmingham or are visiting.“

“Love their food! Quality sauces and always delicious!“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“I always like to come to this brewery to try all their different beers. I’ve been to several hundred different breweries around the country and this is one of my top breweries. I believe it was Ryan who helped me today and he was extremely nice and helpful!“

“Excellent top notch pizza (BBQ Brisket pizza, Philly pizza) all the way down to the crust, tasty fair price drinks, and excellent service, shout out to Gabby G Lakeview, Highly recommend!“

“7.21.26

We came around 1:40 P.M. as a pit-stop from our road trip headed back home, and ChatGPT was right with this spot being top recommended!

My bf had the BBQ chicken sandwich, and I had the chicken quesadilla--both in which were absolutely DEEEEEEE-LICUOUS!!!

We both had the cheese pasta, and that came out terrific, too.

The greeter/cleaning specialist was very much about assisting customers and keeping the place clean for the customers. This young lady definitely makes this spot welcoming.“

“Great place to eat! Our family enjoys being together at Happy Wok and the food is always great. Large menu has something for everyone!“

“Our family (my husband & I & our three toddlers) was in the area today & were recommended Real & Rosemary for lunch. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming & accommodating! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our list of favorites in the Birmingham/Homewood area!“

“Especially enjoy the brunch, but we have eaten dinner there as well. Outdoor seating on a pretty Saturday morning is my favorite. They have a nice charcuterie board and it is a great way to enjoy happy hour.“

“Jackie recommended Blue Cheese, I now love Blue Cheese. I have to have it on everything…“

“Great little place right outside the Hilton. Awesome breakfast options as well as lunch, should have swung by there for dinner also. Got the blazer toast and a large white mocha iced latte, both outstanding. Really liked their toast bar as well as the multiple bakery options. Definitely going to stop by next time. I’m in Birmingham again.“

“We had another delicious, affordable meal from Panchos yesterday. This place is consistent, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is scrumptious. It’s definitely our go-to for Mexican food in the area. Thanks, guys! Y’all rock!!“

“Never disappointed when coming here. The ramen is delicious along with the Japanese fried oysters and octopus balls. The strawberry lemonade with 75% sugar is amazing!“

“The Red Shamrock in Mt Laurel is a true neighborhood gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest has a memorable experience.

The pub offers a fantastic selection of drinks, including a variety of beers, bourbons, and expertly crafted cocktails. Their menu features delicious pub fare—standouts include the Shamrock Burger with chipotle mayo, gooey fries loaded with queso and bacon, and the truffle fries with Parmesan. Whether you're stopping by for a casual dinner or a night out with friends, the food never disappoints.

Live music on weekends adds to the lively ambiance, and the outdoor patio with cozy seating is perfect for relaxing evenings. The Red Shamrock truly captures the spirit of a friendly, local pub where everyone knows your name. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food, drinks, and company in a welcoming setting.“
