Wayne Salem & Jonathan puts out the absolute best breakfast & Philly cheese steak in ALL of Central AL. And when Ms Joyce isn’t directing traffic, she’s bringing you your delicious food saying “what else can I get you, baby”.
Amazing grits, fantastic breakfast wrap (you don’t even know!) honestly one of the best breakfast I’ve ever paid for. Don’t let the hole in the wall storefront fool you, this place is straight fire! 🔥
We were disappointed. We ordered the Philly cheese omelette and a stack of pancakes. The pancakes were $8.99 on the menu but we were charged $9.99 and you get 4 small pancakes for that. The menu said the Philly omelette was $11.95 but we were charged $12.95. The omelette was really greasy and the hash browns are over done. $30 for that breakfast was way overpriced for the quality and what you get. This place needs to update their menu to reflect actual prices.
They are great people. The food is always fresh, hot, and correct on my to go orders. It's definitely worth trying.
This is a quaint little place in the middle of Birmingham to have a nice, quiet breakfast....R.O.M. E. O.s have found it which means it is good
,( that means retired old men eating out)
My daughter and I happened to find this place after a Dr appointment. The Philly cheese steak was the best, however the owner, Wayne Salem made the experience one to remember! ❤️
We ordered take out for meetings at work today. I ordered the chef’s salad for the first time. See photo - this is all I got for $13.00. This is not a chef salad. Chef Salads have lettuce, hard boiled eggs, variety of meats, cheese, tomato’s and cucumbers. I received lettuce, tomato’s and a little sliced ham cut up., and bacon for $13.00 That’s it! Very disappointed! They should list what they put on their salads if they don’t plan to make them like the rest of the world does.
Great and cozy little place with friendly service and awesome food
Wayne is a Homewood mainstay. If you want a family run place with good home cooked food and a great atmosphere then this is your spot. Get the Philly with half fries half onion rings and you will leave happy.

Small mom and pop type restaurant. We went during breakfast. We had a great experience! The service and food were great! It’s also in a great area for walking and shopping. I had half a trash can. My wife had a ham and cheese omelette. Both were delicious. I want to go back during lunch and try a Philly cheesesteak! Definitely worth trying!

My wife and I breakfast here and it’s such a fun place. Reminds me of a restaurant I used to visit as a kid. Food was excellent, service was great. It’s a smaller place so plan accordingly.
Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a very small location, might be a few spots a wheelchair could fit.

Old time, long time locally owned diner. Small place where everyone seems to know everyone, lots of regular locals.
