39 Best Salad Restaurants in Birmingham

“Awesome salad.“

“I went to the Dunwoody, Georgia location at lunchtime today (11/17/25). I let the cashier know that it was my 1st time trying Super Chix and he comped my frozen custard with oreo pieces! That act of kindness had me in tears as I was emotional about the bad news I received about my husband's cancer earlier in the day. Thank you for adding sunshine to my day! I will be back!“

“This past weekend, we went to Pizza Grace because the original owners sold it to the owners of Big Spoon Creamery. So, out of fear and curiosity, we wanted to see if our favorite pizza place was still our favorite pizza place. Let’s just start. The garlic bread they switched the focaccia with pizza dough, spread fairly thin so it was light and crispy and they swapped the garlic oil for garlic butter with herbs. This was actually really good! We both enjoyed it and thought the flavor of the butter was way better than the original garlic olive oil spread. However, I think they should have kept the focaccia bread and just swapped the olive oil with the garlic and herb butter. That would have been an easy 10/10. But unfortunately, even though it was still very good, it gets an 8.5/10. The pizza itself was still basically the same. We got the pepperoni pizza. Upon arrival and tasting, we could tell they cut back on the red pepper flakes, which we were both happy about. Our main issue was the fact that we could tell, visually, the pizza was smaller and not as big as it used to be. We didn’t like that we were paying basically the same price for less pizza. I’d recommend either making the pizzas bigger again or lowering the price. This also would have been a 10/10, but we’re taking off points for the pizza being visibly smaller and giving it a 9.5/10. For dessert, I got the Big Spoon Bar, which has fior di latte, salted caramel, TCHO chocolate, sea salt, and hazelnut in it. No notes here easy 10/10. I literally could not complain. First bite was heaven! All in all, this was very good with only a few minor disappointments. Is this still my favorite pizza place? Yes. Will I return? Yes, I will but I also think it depends on whether they adjust the price or return the pizza to its original size. That’s literally just how we feel since we’ve been going there for years. I highly recommend you guys go check this place out. Tell them I sent you! #PizzaGrace #foodie #foodreview #bhamfoodie #pizzalovers #pizza“

“Staying at the UAB Hilton and went down for breakfast. Synetric greeted me and asked me how I was doing, told me about the breakfast buffet (which was a nice quality and selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, grits, oatmeal & pastries) and was able to get me my coffee to go. The other staff working was also pleasant.“

“My bestie and I visited here on our way to an event. I've been hooked ever since. I love the different healthy options available and that you can fully customize your experience. It would help to browse the menu before going so you don't hold up the line during busier times. I think in this day I opted for a veggie bowl. But I've also had the chicken grain and green bowl as well as the falafel and all were great. The pita chips are a must try! They are so addictive! I also love the free parking deck and the digital drive-through on those days when I just want to grab and go.“

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“AHKI’S is a flavorful and satisfying Mediterranean‑inspired restaurant that delivers bold taste with generous portions. From the first bite, you can tell the focus here is on fresh ingredients and rich seasonings. The menu leans into classic Mediterranean street‑food vibes — think tender grilled chicken, juicy steak, and perfectly seasoned rice — but with enough personality to make each visit feel distinct.

One of the best things about AHKI’S is the sauces and toppings. The creamy white sauce adds brightness to every dish, while the spicier sauces bring a pleasant kick without overwhelming the palate. Whether you’re ordering a bowl, pita wrap, or platter, the flavors are balanced and layered, making even simple combinations taste exciting. The salads are crisp and refreshing, giving a nice contrast to the heartier proteins and starches.“

“Baha is always consistent with their fantastic food. I love everything they serve, but the turkey burger and onion rings is my go to order. The GM is always very nice and the front counter staff are always friendly and helpful. I’m there at least once a week.“

“I’ve been eating at cava all over the birmingham are but the cava on 280 has become my favorite. I was welcomed in by the Cava employee by the name of Wade. Wade was the most friendliest person I’ve met in any Cava restaurant. He was very polite and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed and he made a great bowl, thanks I will always look for wade when I come into this restaurant because he didn’t make me feel rushed“

“The food is always fresh and delicious, the Reuben is my favorite!!! Great people and wonderful service!“

“This restaurant has a nice ambiance being in an older repurposed building downtown. It was a cold evening so we were grateful for the ability of valet parking. The service was friendly and professional. The food choices were varied and all options chosen by our party were prepared well and delicious.“

“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!“

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“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. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!“

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

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“Edgar’s Bakery in Birmingham blends cozy café charm with delicious treats. The strawberry cake is a must-try, and great breakfast selection. I took the vegetable omelette and it was very good. Service was awesome staff are super nice. Overall it’s a sweet spot for cakes, coffee, and casual bites. Definitely recommended 👌“

“We ordered the salmon and lamb chops. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. The Mac n cheese was very tasty, as well.“

“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“

“We visited from Texas and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and food at Urban Cookhouse. I’d be curious to try other sandwiches, but would definitely pair it with more broccoli salad.

Parking: I walked up to the restaurant, but I did notice plenty of street parking available.“

“Everything was great everyone was friendly“

“I love to eat here the food is so good and the staff is friendly I just love this place“

“Thank you, thank you to Chick Fil A Greystone. We ordered food from here for our end of year football party. due to weather (cold and rainy) we changed our party location last minute from Heardmont Playground to Chick Fil A. Isaac accommodated us quickly, reserving tables for us, and making everything easy and fun for parents and kids. Isaac and his team were welcoming from Start to finish A thousand thank yous, from the Red Team (Oak Mountain Youth Football)“

“I have been here 3times back to back and I haven't been disappointed yet.“

“The food is certainly good, but I definitely don’t recommend the Down Home. It’s an insultingly tiny amount of food. My wife and I both laughed when the server set it down in front of me—$13 for a main course smaller than most appetizers.“

“Food is good when it's made right. I get the same thing every time, but it's never made the same. I picked up a Newks Q pizza just now that I ordered with no jalapeños. I did check it before I left, and it appeared fine. But whoever made it took it upon them selves to make the pizza with no sauce or chili either. I know what the sauce looks like. That pizza was dry AF. Super disappointing when you pay almost $20 for one pizza with a tip.“

“We absolutely love this place, best wings in Fairhope!!!“

“Love the bread here! Just revisited after a long absence and I ask myself how could I have forgotten? The sourdough is great and the pastries are fantastic. Cool location, great place to meet for coffee too.“

“This us our favorite O.G although it's about a 90 min drive and today's visit was another awesome one, Mary is a FABULOUS server, so attentive, kind and helpful. When we come back (in the next 2 weeks) I will be asking for her section. Thank you!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. Took my smokin’ hott wife here on date night. Tiffany was our server and she was amazing. The food is better than a home cooked meal and the price is well worth it. Again ***** 5 STAR“

“Just moved to Alabama from Florida. What a wonderful find this Cheesecake Factory was. As much as we love Southern Cooking here in Alabama, there is just so much Fried Food and BBQ a person can eat. Cheesecake Factory has an amazing variety of food and every Cheesecake Factory restaurant we have eaten in are always consistent. I’ll give this Bham find five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love it because a very nice team and a very excellent service do a wonderful job and make me feel like family“

“I grabbed some breakfast from the drive thru on my way back to Gadsden. I ordered a chicken biscuit add egg and cheese along with an order of hasbrowns and a large coke. Everything I ordered was made to perfection and I did not have to wait very long in line of the drive thru to get my order. The staff I encountered was polite and friendly.“

“Great service and restaurant. The new layout of the parking lot is a bit weird, and the employees do their best and are all very polite, but you run the risk of becoming trapped in the drive thru if theres any kind of hold up ahead of you, bc theres no way to exit the lanes after you get into them due to the new parking lot layout.Recommend ordering on the app and picking up in store or getting curbside to avoid the drive thru, esp if you have anxiety or any agoraphobic tendencies related to driving“

“Excellent service and exceptional 'fast' food.“

“They made a small mistake on our order but the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be back!“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“The staff was delightful! We were so excited to come in and ate. Great experience 👍“

“Chick-fil-A is less a restaurant and more a magical temple where chicken reigns supreme and your life’s problems temporarily vanish. You walk in, and immediately a choir of polite angels in visors says, “My pleasure,” so many times that I start questioning if I’ve entered a parallel universe where politeness is currency.“
